> The whole institution of Congress and everything from its apportionment to its salaries are determined by the Constitution.

Except that they aren’t. Apportionment is in part…but salary is not (although there are some rules as to when changes can take effect). The rules are not. Elections are not.

> Regulating the behavior of Congress in a way is a constitutional change.

Regulating the personal behavior of members of Congress is not “regulating future generations of Congress” in any way that is restricted by the Constitution or requires Constitutional change. You are just inventing rules out of thin air–apparently riffing on (without understanding) the maxim that the Congress can’t bind future Congresses–that have no basis in the Constitution or, really, anything else.

> Sorry, no, the interstate commerce clause has absolutely nothing to do with the legislature regulating future generations of Congress.

The interstate commerce clause has absolutely everything to do with regulating securities trading.

Why stop applying? If you have time to apply - apply. Meanwhile, if you're not happy with results, engage a recruiter too.
Thanks for sharing, I'll check it out. It would be interesting to see if it would help with these pretty astonishing Open Omics results that recently came out:

I recall reading something how some companies frowned upon FANG candidates because they were concerned the candidates were more trouble than what they were worth. Stuff like the toxic corporate mentality inherited from a FANG, and overestimation of their own ability even if they were actually good. We're talking about things like SDE1s acting like the principal engineer in their new role right out of the gate and nitpicking everything to try to portray themselves as problem solvers at the expense of their whole team. Something similar to a messiah complex coupled with entitlement. This rubs people the wrong way.
I thought I'd add a data point to this discussion.

I'm in the UK and the traditional dev/tech job route was via something like JobServe, Indeed etc., where you see a role advertised via an employment agency and you send your CV hoping for a callback.

I'm in a stable contract so I'm not looking but two weeks ago, I was contacted by two agents, one day apart, both unrelated to one another, completely out of the blue.

The first agent was more like a headhunter-type in that he arranged to "interview" me the following day via Teams to drill into my background and skillset. It lasted about 40 mins. Now, I can say, hand on heart, that in all my 20+ years of work that has never happened. Ever. He didn't have a role in mind, just that he wanted a few good candidates to pimp around to his contacts (CTO's and such).

My experience in the UK has been that you apply for a role you find on JobServe, you phone and chase the agent, and you hope to get through the cattle market, not this US-style agent-works-for-me stuff.

The other agent had a role in mind but he also grilled me extensively. Again, never happened before... they usually ask you about the keywords they're looking for and that's it: call done in 2 mins. This call took over 30 mins.

I asked the first guy what was going on as his style was more like the US system where a recruitment agent will work for YOU, and try to get you a role somewhere, whereas the UK model (unless headhunted!) was very much that the agents worked for the companies in question and acted like a CV-buffer to filter out the crap.

One of the agents hinted that there are a lot of average candidates out there at the moment looking for a smaller number of roles so they are aggressively filtering them before handing over to the clients.

I suspect that there have been a bunch of rejected CV's sent to the clients and they're now wanting better candidates... either that or agencies are indeed swamped in average candidates (not pissing on them, but if you have avg candidates and good candidates, the avg ones will lose out).

Anyway, things are a bit weird in the UK at the moment so I thought I'd chime in.
I have been poisoned by AskJeeves and I didn't use it much...

Sometimes it makes sense to ask a question, because well it should be one many people have already asked, but most of the times I just want keyword search.
I even have weird (most likely) overlay-related issues on my RTX2070, like trying to scroll in Chrome with a YouTube video playing stutters like hell, and the video even occasionally blacking out, or when moving/sizing the browser window, it takes the video a noticeable amount of time to adjust. It's extremely annoying.
Could you elaborate on how you're applying to these companies?

The highest probability approach to getting an interview is via an internal referral: i.e. someone at the company you want to work at refers you.

After you've exhausted your network, cold emails with a strong pitch to engineers & engineering managers at companies that are aggressively hiring is the best approach to gain referrals.

A couple of friends and I wrote a playbook to help folks land interviews: https://koopuluri.com/get-interviews. We go into detail about what a strong pitch is, how to craft one, and how to effectively cold email.

Happy to help in any way, feel free to reply here / email me (in bio).

Yes, definitely update your LinkedIn profile. Put something catchy in there. And post something once a week to generate some activity. It is totally influencer bullshit, but this war -- getting a job. You can also flag your profile in LinkedIn as looking for opportunities.

The advantage is that Python has just diagnosed the error and aborted the whole thing back to the top level, whereas in the Common Lisp, the entire context where the error happened is still standing. There are things you can do like interactive replace a bad value with a good value and re-try the failed computation.

In lispm's example, the problem is that there is no foo function, so (foo 20) cannot be evaluated. You have various choices at the debugger prompt; you can specify a different function, to which the same arguments will be applied. Or just specify a value to be used in place of the nonworking function call.

Being able to fix and re-try a failed expression could be valuable if you have a large running system with hundreds of megabytes or even gigabytes of data in the image, which took a long time to get to that state.

I'm not familiar with this idiomatic use of "sleep on", can you explain it a bit?

I think the whole chargeback thing is a bullshit excuse - it’s the customers that are abusing the chargeback, not the businesses. Why should they suffer for it. If a customer abuses the chargeback feature, punish them, not an entire sector of industry. It’s lenders like Visa being precious about their own customer’s behavior and I have no sympathy whatsoever.
Things that disqualify CVs straight away for us:

* Unclear if have right to work in country. This needs to be stated up front! Our company can't sponsor visas, so if based in another country unless it says something about the visa status, we basically have to throw it away.

* Poor grammar, spelling, attention to detail on CV. I get some CVs through that are almost unreadable. I'm not saying if there's a single typo then we'd disqualify, but if it's littered with them it shows poor attention to detail and that's quite important professionally!

Things that would make me think twice about interviewing:

* Too much emphasis on stuff that's not relevant.

* Big gaps in employment

* Working for weird companies that show poor judgement in itself. For e.g. - Crypto exchanges, predatory companies, etc.
Thousands, eh?

I'd assume you're not actually hiring "thousands" of people, which means that a very large percentage of those "more or less qualified" applicants are not passing the interview rounds.

Since it's logical to assume that you'd actually want to hire someone for those open roles, it's not too hard to see where the disconnect is.

Of course, I don't mean "you" in the sense of you, personally, and I don't intend this to be a personal attack of any sort, but it really does say something about how utterly insane people on the hiring side have gotten in the past few months.

That's fair, my intention was to indicate my chief takeaway during the trips, which was in contradiction to my chief takeaway from other parts of my life there, that is to say, when I was just living in a city studying or working.

Actually, then too did I find life in the USA quite ugly. There was beauty but having traveled a lot of the world now... it doesn't balance out. You're talking to someone though that is hyper sensitive to how car-focused transit mars the beauty of anywhere, and in my travels the I've never seen anywhere give as much space to cars as I have in the USA. It's just concrete, as far as the eye can see...

The ugliness is made more apparent I think by my frustration at the possibility. America has the greatest national parks on earth, and the best mechanisms for ensuring those parks are visited and seen. 3.7 million visitors to Yosemite yearly, that's over half the yearly visits to Sistine Chapel, and the Sistine Chapel is in the middle of Rome, which is chock full of tourist goodies. Yosemite is just... out there, in the middle of nowhere, and 3.7 million people a year make the journey. So the possibility of maintaining phenomenal infrastructure and natural beauty is there, why isn't that replicated elsewhere in the USA? Why not tear up the parking lots and lay down more tracks for trams or install more busses? Why not build an inter-country train system that passes through the beautiful Rocky and Appalachian mountains?

And why are so many Americans left in the dust of industrialization? I mean where else on earth would someone say to me "please don't call an ambulance, I can't afford it" after I pull them out from their crashed car? Among a million other degredations the people out there are experiencing it. There's so much good in the usa that's completely out of reach for so many Americans. Ugh.

So no, I'm not smug, I'm frustrated. It's the richest country on earth by every economic measure by a long shot. What is happening??
Coke has a reputation of being commonly cut with other substances, including fentanyl which is obviously very dangerous. This varies majorly by location, places where coke is cheaper and more available, it's less likely to be cut.

Weed is mostly safe, but in some places there's been synthetic cannabinoids sprayed on buds and sold as K2, Spice, etc. and that has some dangerous and unpredictable side effects. Again this varies by location. Weed is also getting much stronger than it used to be.

LSD can a bit unpredictable, dosage is really important, and in some cases NBOMe are sold as LSD. NBOMEe's are relatively new, it is a group of synthetic stimulant and hallucinogen substances and can be particularly dangerous when it's not expected.

Mushrooms are probably the safest of the lot if taken with some preparation, dosage is important and so is set and setting.

I think if these substances were decriminalized and regulated, and a harm-reduction approach to education were taken for those most at risk (e.g. Festival goers, teenagers and young adults, clubbers, etc.), a lot of the dangers around their use could be minimised, and public funds could/should be appropriated towards health and education.

Interestingly when people actually get their drugs tested, if it's not what they expected it to be, a good number of people will throw them out. There's some really interesting results from canTEST, a fixed-site drug testing service being trialed in Canberra, Australia.

Compensation Decoded: Tech leader salaries at early-stage startups
I’ve experienced something akin to the isolation you experienced in a relatively mid sized (about 300 devs) org. While team isolation made it possible to move fast, there was a lot of chaos and duplicated effort all over the place, lessons learned was promptly forgotten etc.

I think what made it kinda work is when they introduced “infra” dev teams that tried to see what the global problems were and solve them on a library/infra level.

Networking was one terraform module away, kafka integration was solved with in house abstractions, design systems, knowledge bases, etc. While not perfect there was a sense that “if its too gnarly a solution, ask around, somebody probably already solved it more elegantly”.

They would talk to all the teams and if someone developed an elegant package/lib/idea they would promote it to other teams.

Key was to have people working explicitly on tech sharing and global problem solving. Ended up quite a nice team environment by the time I was leaving the company, though it took years to get to that point.

Really curious what you suggest as a remedy for this one. It seems to boil down to "sorry, you're screwed now" or "lie but don't get caught"
The comment about gas being more expensive than electricity seems a bit disingenuous. I was under the impression that Australia has plenty of natural gas reserves, and gas would be cheap if it weren't for failure of government to manage it properly.
I was a high energy theorist and I even went to the same school as this guy (Princeton). I’ll admit I’m a complete rando when it comes to superconducting materials. PhD in an unrelated subfield means very little. I guess it helps with grokking academic drama.
If you admit that you have a slight bent towards entrepreneurship or similar you are out of the door instantly. If it’s somewhere like a YC startup and they realize you’re not young and willing to sacrifice your life, same thing.

I've had the best luck with recruiters that have contacted me directly on LinkedIn. Conversely, I've had zero luck with the recruiters that contact me via phone call.

My assumption is that this is because many of the latter are operating under the "if we get you hired we get XX% percent of your salary" model, and are thus inclined to submit as many applications as they can.

Technically, a good chunk of the ARM boards that Qemu supports are completely undocumented. So yes?

The emudev scene is pretty close-knit, there are shared contributors amongst MESS, MAME, Qemu, etc that spread research advances. In addition, a lot of the breakthrough work in undocumented/edge features is done by decappers, hardware researchers and computer engineers. This research then distills down into the more advanced emulator platforms before working its way into commodity documentation and hobby emulators.
When i was around 20 i learned Ruby as basically my first language and it has been a joyride ever since. I had a chance to develop and co-develop things in other languages but for me there is none matching speed, joy and effectivity of Ruby.

Everyone's mileage may vary but i definitelly do recommend learnign Ruby as a first leanguage. What i also recommend starting developers is to not follow dogmatic advices blindly.
I'm pretty sure the number of people who'd be willing to pay money to vacation in LEO is considerably larger than what a single Salyut-sized station can house - even before considering the rise in demand from lowered costs.

That said, I think the real money-maker will come from factories in lunar orbit. Even if the economics of Terra importing goods from Luna never quite pan out, being able to build even some (let alone most, let alone all) of a spacecraft in space from spaceborne materials would be a game-changer for exploration and eventual colonization of the Solar System and beyond.

> If the aliens landed, they'd have to ask, who the fuck is in charge of this world? Because right now, it's just chaos.

This feels as absurd as a human walking into a forest and asking who is in charge of it. The Earth is an environment, with many creatures living in it. Humans simply haven't yet achieved the utilization of a central authority to take charge of global long-term caretaking. Neither have the wolves or moose on Isle Royale[0]. I don't think aliens would be confused by that.

Perhaps humans will figure it out. Perhaps the wolves on Isle Royale will eventually eat every last moose before they subsequently perish from lack of food. Perhaps humans won't figure it out.

Yeah I don’t buy that. It’s a long pipeline and there’s almost definitely more than 3 milliseconds of jitter. I’d wager that success/failure sounds are quantized to audio buffers that are a good bit longer than 3ms.

If the line is 3ms for pro I will gladly bet the over!

The force for centralization is that for social networks it simply is the natural topography. People are drawn to where everybody else is, so something being central is a main attractor, even if we disregard the ambitions for reach. Spam is a secondary factor at best.

While Spam is a problem and affects decentralized systems more easily (if they have a critical number of users), the cost of client attestation is just too high.

I am perfectly happy if the web and stays open and a lot of people go into the app space and stay there. I am happy for facebook and don't think I am missing out on the web. I don't use any apps for social media and exclusively use browsers. I wouldn't want a second app space on the web at all because the mobile environment is an ugly abomination of software crap.

If we have a form of RA, it will get worse for users and developers alike. It will be a far worse hassle than killing a bit of spam and we give the wrong players too much power.
Is there another way? I've only done WebGL, so not familiar with Vulkan/Metal/DirectX/etc. - but in my experience you're clearing the screen and re-drawing everything every tick no matter what. If only for applying post-processing effects.

Updating buffers is of course a totally separate thing, and on that side I don't think anyone updates everything every tick, usually there's some sort of scene graph that knows about dirty transforms and their children, so only those get updated..

I'm not sure whether I agree or not, as without cryptography the only way to have a private discussion with someone, which I think is equally important to transparency, as people usually are "transparent" about personal stuff with close friends/family members only under the condition that other people don't have access to the information, would be to have such conversation in person behind closed doors. Which it isn't always easy, think people living far apart. Consider also that having no cryptography isn't by itself enough to have a transparent government: they can still lock important documents in a physically secure place and have a long jail sentence as a deterrent for people thinking about leaking them.
