Kudos for NOT creating another open-source copy of a commercial application, but for offering a fresh take on 2D graphics.

Many times, I've wished that Photoshop would have nodes instead of layers, as it would make some things much simpler. Or that Illustrator and Photoshop would be combined into a single app.

I'm really impressed. Node-based compositing is not a feature that Adobe can easily add to Photoshop, as that would change the core workflow.
Clickbait will continue to escalate until it's outright lies and everything is a tabloid.
It might be dependent on what's in your area. I still get a fair bit of recruiter spam, but the character of it has changed a lot. Amazon seem to have put their ambitions to briefly employ everyone in the world on hold, and I haven't heard from them in a year, say. On the other hand, I'm seeing a lot of mail/LinkedIn messages from (a) medium-sized post-startups (~1k employees, probably not a unicorn) and (b) financial firms (HFT and all that). I suspect that these types of companies were starved of applicants over the last few years; they simply couldn't afford to compete with stock-heavy offers from Big Tech(TM).
Good, good...

> other nations have many talented developers

Yes there are other nations that have talented developers. But anywhere that has genuinely talented developers, the developers will still want a decent salary.

I'm not going to name names, but if you are thinking about the "outsourcing nations", then I don't know about you, but I think most of us here have experienced the poor quality coding output from those developers. The Quality Control simply is not there, normally because the company doing the outsourcing is too cheap to pay for proper supervision and quality control.
Upgrade are expensive, so we backport fixes.

Backporting fix are expensive, so we live on edge without testing.
Not completely disagreeing with the OP but before going the recruiter route make sure you have exhausted the social network route.

Your resume has way more chances to be considered seriously if instead of just sending it to the company inbox someone already working for that company recommends you. If you have any friends, family or ex-colleagues working on a nice place, tell them that you are looking for a position and ask them if they would mind referring you. Although it's becoming rare, some companies still have a "referral bonus" for employees that bring up other employees. You might even do them a favor.

That's exactly what I thought was interesting/weird! What a bizarre and almost nonsensical thing to get into in a congressional hearing... guy doesn't even have a PhD in physics, nor has he ever worked as a physicist let alone an astrophysicist, isn't a subject matter expert but decides to go into a conversation about holotheory of all things.

Super weird, but imo pretty interesting to see.
> as long as the work is getting done.

First you'd have to define that. The "work to be done" increased with our productivity. We started with machines doing the work of 50 people, thread weaving for example, but it didn't mean thread weavers worked 50 times less, it just meant we produced 50 times more. You can apply that to pretty much every fields. When the end goal is "produce as much as you can" there is no "getting the job done", the only limits are set by laws regulating salaries and working hours.
Working for 3 years and only refactoring, that's a whole new level of comedy. If you blame Fowler for this madness, then I see how you think his work is damaging.

But its a bit like a health influencer telling people to stay hydrated and blame him for his fans damaging themselves by trying to drink 10 liters a day.
> Personally I'd much rather extra security to enable untrusted containers access to the hosts fs is implemented in the container runtime, not as a separate component. Or if the "security issues" it addresses perhaps even in the hosts operating system?

Isn’t that exactly what the original gofer/RPC solution is? The gvisor container runtime operates in userland to ensure that compromises in the runtime don’t result in an immediate compromise of the system kernel.

But running in userland and intercepting syscalls that do IO always has significant performance implications, because all your IO now needs multiple copy operations to get into the reading process address space, because userland process generally can’t directly interact with each other address space (to ensure process isolation), without asking the kernel to come in to do all the heavy lifting.

So if you want fast local IO, you have find a way to allowing the untrusted processes in the container to make direct syscalls, so that you can avoid all the additional high latency hops in userland, and let the kernel directly copy data into the target processes address space.

To magically allow the container runtime to provide direct host fs access itself, with native level performance, that would require the runtime to be operating as part of the kernel. Which is exactly how normal containers work, comes with a whole load of security risks, and is ultimately the reason gvisor exists.
For those that like that sort of thing, that’s the sort of thing they like.
I think for me it's terrifying because it sounds like the same line of reasoning as, "Why should I care about encryption? I don't have anything to hide," and people say (and mean) that a LOT.

So many people genuinely don't understand what would be wrong with this scenario, and that's why I'm afraid.

Depends where you are and what you're looking for I guess. Here in Poland the market for remote jobs is great.

Of course a big factor is that on average I estimate the rates paid here are half of these in UK/US (comparing my own rates for remote vs on-site).

Also the way you look for work matters a lot. Every market has its specifics. In some locations it's better to send dozens of cv's in the others it's better to have alerts for exactly matching jobs and when they appear phone the recruiter within the first 5 minutes after the ad was posted. I used both techniques with great results.

And the most important thing. Do not give up! And never trust words, unless they are in a form of a contract.

Media influence; note their concentration on millennials specifically. The media loves to obsess over the misdeeds of the terrible millennials and boomers. My personal theory to explain this is that ~everyone currently in a position of editorial power in media is gen X; note that the media never mentions gen X.

However, change is coming, as the gen Xes will start aging out soon. Within about a decade, expect the media to be decrying the villainous gen Xes and Zeds, as the top editorial jobs go millennial. Constant memes about cereal will replace the stuff about avocados, etc (Gen X are the peak breakfast cereal generation, as they were largely around before truth-in-advertising rules severely restricted manufacturers from claiming that the product containing a lot of sugar was good, actually).

This isn't new; "everyone significantly younger than or older than me is terrible" has been a meme for, at least, thousands of years. Shows up in ancient Roman and Greek stuff, say. The _degree_ to which people think that Other Generations are weird and bad may be growing, though, as the media writ large becomes more pervasive.

Context. Seriously.
1. Control by limiting choice
2. Potential control by being able to limit usage during peak times
3. Potential control if costs of producing electricity rise and consumers end up having less money for other things as a result
4. Potential control by making it easier for government to shut off power to people with “unacceptable” political views.

I realize that a couple of those thoughts edge into conspiracy theory territory. But that’s why I used the word potential. The possibility exists that things could move in those directions.
$235K sounds about right. With regard to the legal fees they'll burn through for their humorous "trademark".
This is one of the costs of most free software. You either update to latest version, or you pay for support. Of course it is up to each project if they even want to offer such support.
flopping interview != quack

Everyone knows that interviews have high false negative rates (depending on your hiring criteria). You have to mentally guard yourself that interviews are not a complete judgement of you; they are at best a small pinhole view into your capabilities.
Helping find individuals who love the same domain space that might contribute to the projects would be a very useful.

I help support open source projects that are leveraged by those with disabilities. Often those individuals can't contribute back as they are focused on there careers/ day-to-day life leveraging the project. So on boarding diversified people outside of that segment an would add valley to the talent pool of the project.
If you want a web GUI, then pfSense or OPNSense are the general go tos.

However, if you're comfortable with CLI and modifying configs in /etc/ then just running a bare metal Alpine Linux box is perfectly doable on a tiny box. iptables/nftables for firewall/NAT, dnsmasq/bind9 for dns, dnsmasq/isc-dhcp for DHCP. I've got a handful of these boxes all interlinked via wireguard, sharing routes via BGP using bird.

Sure, you miss the config verification that VyOS provides, but does mean you learn the underlying tools themselves and that knowledge is portable to any other box running those systems.

Personally, I don't quite understand why VyOS is a standalone distro when it could just be a config generator/checker package. Could even support multiple different underlying tools so if you want to use dnsmasq over bind9, or vice versa, it can provide a unified config interface for them.

Get it touch with your account manager, this is what they are for. It is in their interest to build your business with Stripe and ensure that you have a smooth experience. Obviously there are cases where these sort of things have to happen, but they should be able to ensure that everything is fair and that you are listened to. Our account manager and others they put us in touch with at my previous place were helpful in this regard.

$100k salary puts you in the top 5% of the society in Bulgaria. I wouldn't call that being "Ramen-fueled". I don't want people to get wrong ideas.

There is a huge interest for this feature from many commercial parties, there is no denying of that.
There's a big difference between "over a decade old" and "50 years" though. I'm not contending that there's a sizeable amount of 10+ year old applications that are still useful, but I'd wager that their number is inversely correlated with their age; and that 50 years is too long of a support term to be sensible. E.g. HTTP is less than 35 years old. And it's not just because the outside world is moving on, if you use a distro from 2000 for 50 years you'll run into problems in 2038 because it still uses 32-bit time_t.
Better yet, get all the money in real currency, then go burn it outside an Adobe office.
I use Gimp, Inkscape, Blender, ... Except blender the others don't have any funding near those 250k and yet they compete very well to Adobe (I know many would deny that, but for me they do)

> No such shorthand exists in Ruby (and I'm glad that Ruby doesn't have the feature bloat like TypeScript and C#)

I find that while Ruby’s syntax may have a smaller surface area there are so many more ways to do things than with other languages that I reach for others first.

Also Ruby encourages so much metaprogramming that it can be very very difficult to work out where a behavior comes from. You _really_ have to document everything and getting a good editor config for Ruby is very important. That said I still struggle to get basic autocomplete working with Ruby in vs code
Yeah, I'm not denying it's bad. It's the worst I've seen too – although it's picked up significantly from the start of the year.

I would warn people against blaming the market entirely for their problems finding work. I've seen stats suggesting that most tech employees who have lost their jobs have been able to find work within a couple of months. My own experience suggests this is the case. It's harder for sure, but it's far from impossible.

If someone's been looking for 6 months and are not even getting to the interview stage something else is going on. To blame it on the market would deny themselves the opportunity to self reflect on why they're finding it difficult. I've seen a lot of that this year.
Important: This is not VC funding. This is a Kickstarter project [1].

Honestly, this feels like a scam. Their logo and name is stupidly similar to Adobe which would obviously result in trademark lawsuit. I think they are just scrounging up money from the Kickstarter and will just disappear after a while.

> If You can't see that there is a middle ground between ...

I can see a middle ground. Most people would probably name it as Europe. And you would have to go looking in Eastern Europe.

And I think you would find, if you are lucky, that a competent European junior-ish developer would not get out of bed for less than 60k Euros (65k USD), a more senior developer would demand more.

And you need more than one or two developers on your team if you're going to be competing against Adobe.

And then you need to pay taxes, pensions, accountants and lawyers.

And then you need to pay other business expenses.

And if you decide you need an office, then god help you ...

The numbers soon add up .... $235k will disappear within the year, probably within a single quarter.

Software development is capital intensive.
The thing that gets me is for all the attention gamers put on benchmarks when a new game or bit of hardware comes out to compare them, you never see benchmarks for this class of tweaks. If the benefit was so obvious, it should be easy and clear to demonstrate/repeat. Over the years a huge variety of these geek equivalent to old wives tales have accumulated, and a lot of them persist.

It is considered broken because there is a faster way than simple brute force to create a collision. The currently know approach is still computationally expensive.

It is correct to call it broken, but I don't see the implications for TMP at all. TPM is shitty tech in the first place in my opinion, but aside from that there is little practical relevance.

Exceptionally unproductive? What are you on about? Could they make larger swings? Sure. Are they exceptionally unproductive? Compared to whom? They dominate pretty much all market segments they're in. For example, they took on Apple, after a grudge, and won (Apple had something to do with that too). AI showed up, Adobe is pretty much the only major established player that put it in consumer hands ASAP and in a way that is both legal and makes great sense. Others (majors), if they even showed up with anything AI leaned on others (Microsoft -> OpenAI).

Adobe is moving at a steady strong pace which one cannot ignore. They don't have ferocity or (sometimes) velocity of a hungry small player.. yet, there aren't any in their space. There's Autodesk (lol) and of smaller in video there is The Foundry (if you want to see exceptionally unproductive, at small scale).

I'll name it. You need at least 25000$ to hire a "decent" Software Dev and 50k for Senior Dev in India. They can produce much better output compared to US counterparts both in terms of Quantity and Quality.

The hiring needs to be direct or else the "agency" will eat most of the money and give you 3000$/yr "senior" devs further perpetuating the stereotypes.

With 235k, you can make an incredible 5 people team + cloud costs for an year.

I do absolutely not doubt a 3ms difference in timing being perceptible with two rythmic signals. I absolutely do doubt a 3ms latency though.

You are claiming that someone can tell the difference between playing the game oneeter or two metres from the speakers.

Put another way, on a large stage the sound from the bands monitors takes ~10ms to reach the drummer.

I don't have data, and neither does anyone else here apparently, but in the absence of evidence it seems exceedingly likely that any perceived differences due to 3ms latency (difference ?) are placebo. We know that placebo is real and large so unless someone has an experiment that tries to account for this (e.g. properly blinded) my prior is that you can't tell when playing a rythm game whether the speaker is 1m or 2m from you.
