I also had good results with recruiters. They will actually get you at the door, so you better be prepared. Seems to be a decent strategy for people who are bad at networking like I am.
Honestly when I see the extremely high power consumption of Nvidia cards, I feel there are some inefficiencies and consequently an opportunity for Intel.

It remains to be seen if Intel can deliver reasonably affordable GPUs with enough hardware efficiency gains while not being too far behind Nvidia on the software tooling front.

But they have a card to play here.

Show HN: Mockfly – API mocking tool, dynamic responses, AI, rules and more
Hello HN,

I've developed Mockfly, a tool designed to simplify API mocking. I started this project out of a need I experienced in my own work. I was using similar tools, but they either didn't meet all my needs or had poor interfaces. One of the driving factors for creating Mockfly was the lack of collaborative tools in this space. Now, I use Mockfly in my work and it has made a significant difference.

Mockfly allows you to generate mock APIs in seconds, simulate complex APIs with multi-response capabilities, and even generate automatic documentation. Key features include real-time collaboration, random data generation with Faker.js integration, and an intuitive user interface. There's also a handy Chrome extension for streamlined endpoint creation.

I'd love for you to try out Mockfly and share your feedback. You can check it out at https://mockfly.dev. Your insights would be invaluable as I continue to refine and expand the tool.

Thanks for reading!

I know this is completely off-topic but I am Dutch and never MET anyone that was laid off. Non of my friends, family and even colleague's (and I work in IT-consultancy so I see loads of people). How common is this in America? Is it normal that in your career your are fired at least once?
I used to have high myopia and continuously increasing, which is also a large risk factor for retinal detachment.

Congrats on your launch, great to see that much activity in the CDC field. A few comments on the comparison to Debezium (I've been its project lead for many years):

> no dependence on kafka, zookeper, kafka connect

That's not required with Debezium either, using Debezium Server (even with Kafka, ZK is obsolete nowadays anyways)

> managed experience for CDC from PostgreSQL through our enterprise & hosted offerings

There's several hosted offerings based on Debezium (one example being what we do at decodable.co)

> performance wise, with the optimization we are doing

I'd love to learn more about this. Debezium also supports parallel snapshotting, but I'm not clear what exactly you mean by parallelized reading of slos and the CDC impact on targets. Looking forward to reading your blog post :)

There's a lot in this comment that I think responds to things I'm not saying and provides some arguments that are not clear cut. I don't see how electricity is a good proxy for consumption and waste. What does electricity usage in the U.S. measure for manufacturers in other countries making everything and the processes used to do that? Also, In the U.S., poverty and consumption and wealth inequality are all increasing. Thus, increasing consumption to pull people out of poverty does not work logically, at least in the U.S.

> If we want to see the poor countries to rise to even mediocre living standards, we will face a huge increase in global consumption.

Why does reducing overall consumption in developed countries and reducing conspicuous and vacuous consumption everywhere hurt developing countries? There are different levels and definitions of consumption and energy consumption is not the only one and not what I meant or described.

> we can produce ... stuff sustainably

Producing things more sustainably was part of my point.

I guess maybe the final point is clearly defining what we mean by consumption. I view consumption that extends beyond providing a moderate way of living, access to healthcare and education, social services, and transportation to be harmful, and it's that excess that I think should be reduced everywhere. There's no reason why developing countries should not be able to learn what a travesty much of the developed world is and adjust what it means to become more developed.

We had a similar problem when I worked at Belgacom Skynet from 1998 to 2001. We didn't separate our customer user aliases from our employee user aliases -- customer and employees alike were all "user@skynet.be".

The customer who had previously owned "brad@skynet.be" was real pissed when I got hired and his alias went away. And I don't blame him. But there wasn't anything I could do about it.

This mixing of employee and customer addresses on the same server really bit the company hard one day when a certain VP of the company felt that he had to mail out a 50MB PowerPoint presentation to every single employee in the company -- all 500+ of us under the alias all@skynet.be.

And no, at that time, the mail server did not have 25GB of disk space for the mail queue. He broke all mail across the company and all customers, until I went in and fixed his mess. Allowed mail message sizes went down to 5MB, and all mailing list type aliases went away and were replaced with a separate mailing list server. That VP was super pissed that he couldn't send out 50MB PowerPoint presentations any more, but I didn't suffer any repercussions due to what I did to fix the mess he had created.

Soon thereafter we bought new servers to use for customer-only traffic (matched pair of Sun 420Rs with a dishwasher-size external RAID array that they were connected to over fiberchannel), and we kept the old mail server (Sun E250 with eight internal hard drives with software RAID) for employee purposes.

My experience echos yours too... lost count of the number of times I've been ghosted.

I've learned not to trust agents. At all.

If I get a call I assume that I'll be ghosted or that they're lying about the role.

If I manage to get an interview, I usually get the role (I'd say about 70%+) but getting to the interview stage is always a pain with the agencies.

That being said, the market is most definitely different at the moment: I'd hate to be applying for entry-level (or even mid-level) roles at the moment!

I have a friend who is looking and he's struggling to get anywhere at the moment and he has more experience than me (I'm more senior than him but his CV has extensive experience on it).
Somehow i doubt the world’s startup engine, the us, will never get back to sprouting startups again. This situation as many before it will turn around.
I'm currently trying out LibreWolf. It is based on Firefox, but with extra privacy and security features. I also installed Vivaldi, also if I am not a big fan of all these extra features integrated : mail, calendar and notes.
An index is a software component building block, which becomes a database when wrapped with the data management system. We will see more and more traditional databases to add a vector-search index, for instance pgvector makes a vector database out of PostgreSQL.

The LLM App is meant to be self-sufficient and takes a "batteries included" approach to system development - rather than combine several separate applications into a large deploymet, that includes databases, orchestrators, ETL pipelines it combines several software components, such as connectors and indexes into a single app which can be directly deployed with no extra dependencies.

Such an approach should make the deployments easier (there are fewer moving parts to monitor and service), while also being more hackable - e.g. adding some more logic on top of nearest neighbor retrieval is easy and adds only a few statements to the code.
I couldn't understand this comment and wondered whether you had misread the parent. The point is that they are posting job openings and getting thousands of applicants per role i.e. They are oversubscribed.
> One of the big things to remember with VRR is that you will incur a latency penalty of a couple of frames if your game is running right at the maximum refresh rate of your display. [..] For most modern gaming monitors, this isn't a huge deal. Cap your game at 140 FPS on a 144hz display and it will feel as snappy as it probably would have uncapped.

That sounds very weird to me, why would that be the case?

(also FWIW i'm using Linux so a system-wide cap isn't exactly possible, though at least with games i can simply run them via mangohud)
I guess the problem is when people don't realize it's fake. There is a lag between people who are familiar with this technology and those who are not.

Aside from the generative stuff, SO is finally including semantic search capabilities. Their search is currently terrible. However, search itself is a huge endeavor, it’s not enough to just slap ANN on some pregenerated vectors.
Slightly off topic, but in the UK we call rings of fungus "fairy rings" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairy_ring).

Myself and others have witnessed these at native orchid sites and one pattern is that orchids don't grow within the ring; it seems the expanding ring consumes nutrients within, eating outwardly as it expands. This in itself is interesting because typically terrestrial orchids have a heavy symbiotic relationship with fungi. There are interesting physical similarities I can see here; a robustness on the perimeter due to higher nitrogen availability, and more barrenness within the interior.
It's already good enough to not be really obviously fake.
This is an insane take. If encryption is broken I _guarantee_ that the public will still be as in-the-dark as they are now. The government (and telcos) are the only ones who control the infrastructure needed to inspect this kind of traffic.

No, I still encounter massive lag spikes with dwm.exe after a few weeks of uptime, and restarting the process fixes it. However, I get lag in the Windows UI itself, not games. I think it has something to do with one of my monitors always disconnecting from the computer when it goes to sleep, so Windows acts like I'm constantly plugging and unplugging the monitor multiple times a day, for weeks. Leaks like 200-500MB+ each time, and dwm.exe is often using close to 3-4GB when I kill it.
AMQP & MQTT are messaging protocols. You would need protocol handlers either end with this in the middle.

Having said that, you would need to match the protocol to the interaction style. Not all are appropriate.
the ideal candidate has 3-4 years of experience in exactly everything you need so you dont need to train. has no idea what they are worth so you can underpay. and doesn't have a family so they can sit in the office 24/7.

Thanks for the example, but I was more looking for something that uses "generator.send(...)". I definitely agree that yielding items out of generators is extremely useful, but not so sure on examples of generators that are sent values.

> Whenever something good might happen, the EU tries to regulate it to death

> The latest example being AI: we don't have any AI companies or pioneers, but the EU already started drafting regulation around it. It feels like they want to kill every economic opportunity they can.

You're looking at this one dimensionally. AI isn't just an "economic opportunity", there are actual real world things that can be impacted by it (just ask the striking actors and writers in the US). Why exactly is it a problem for there to be regulations? When Airbnb, Uber, e-scooter companies sprung up "disrupting" with no regulations covering them, they made a mess all around. I'm in favour of proactive over reactive regulations.

Not to mention, there literally is an EU startup in "AI" that got tons of money, so it's not like you can say there's only plans of regulations, there are plans of competing as well.

> As an european, the US outpaces us in every area.

Aeronautics, banking and healthcare are great counterexamples where it's not even close.
Government-mandated censorship does not suddenly become acceptable when it is restricted to user-generated content on a website that is not operated by a non-profit. When the government prevents people under 18 from watching YouTube videos or reading posts on major social networks about how asinine and anxiety-inducing the passage of authoritarian laws (such as the Kids Online Safety Act) would be, that is an unjustifiable suppression of political speech. That is the type of censorship the Kids Online Safety Act would enable if it is enacted.

You cannot simply assume that "reasonable measures" would exclude censorship when the phrase is attached to a mandate to "prevent and mitigate" anxiety and depression. A plaintiff or prosecutor could easily argue that "reasonable measures" do include censorship because these platforms have moderation teams, and simply saying "No it does not" is not a very good counterargument. Even though it is impractical to censor all discussions that fit some broad criteria (as the Great Firewall demonstrates), that does not make the censorship acceptable.

The Kids Online Safety Act's sponsor, Richard Blumenthal, is one of the two senators who reintroduced the EARN IT Act in 2022* after it died in committee in 2020. Based on this, it's clear that the intent of the Kids Online Safety Act is to allow the government to stifle certain types of speech on certain mainstream websites and platforms under the guise of protecting children, which is also what the EARN IT Act attempted to do. The Kids Online Safety Act is written so ambiguously that any competent attorney would be able to use it to suppress protected speech and limit the ability of people under 18 to obtain information online. This bill needs to be stopped.

In the excellent Masters of Doom it is explained that Keen was the Mario-like game (i.e. sideways scrolling). They offered the tech to Nintendo as an option to port Mario to the PC. Nintendo declined, thus Keen was born.

It was a vast leap for PC gaming and it opened an new era of PC gaming.

However, here is what I never quite understood, what was so different about the NES and PC tech that Nintendo had figured out to do sideways scrolling years before the PC?

Not quite. Inkscape does solely vector editing and I'd seriously argue Inkscape lacks anything "modern", specially with its latest release.
I think philosophically this article should clarify the semantics of the languages, what needs to be specified in the declarations. Then talk about the syntax if there is any further need to. Languages are all about semantics; in principle there is no reason languages couldn't offer each user his own choice of syntax.
> even if the tech itself is inanimate and neutral

I've come to believe that no tech is neutral. Some tech allows more variety in the politics surrounding it, while other tech has a very narrow range or politics - like DRM.

I live in Pioneer Square, which is walking distance to Lumen field, and I can confirm the two Taylor Swift events were the loudest events I’ve heard from the stadium.

Perhaps. Email, IRC, USENET and the phone system are or were all decentralized social networks. They did fine in their heydey.

If you're a 2023-web purist who's willing to just avoid whole services because they're not on your preferred platform, then hw-backed web RA would make no difference to you even if it could be implemented (which IMO it can't): you'd avoid the services that use it just like you already do today.

This sounds like fundamentally a business problem (we have finite resource, is product A or B our priority?) and trying to solve it with choices in the technology division. Well, here be dragons.

Based on my experiences, the idea that a genuine bottleneck in tech is being made visible to customer division management and senior management, is generally an authentic way to ensure realism creeps back into the prioritisation and funding processes.

At my last job, I had a little bit of experience on the other side of the hiring table – our founder walked me through our hiring process, and it was really eye opening.

Any posting we had immediately got a lot of responses. We heavily tailored our postings to appeal only to people we actually wanted (e.g. were super clear about requirements, or talked extensively about company culture), and we still got dozens of applicants almost right away. And IIRC that was just through Linkedin, I hadn't even seen how many applied through other channels.

Granted, most of them were mass-sent resumes, but that still crowded any good-fit applicants and made it a pain to look through.

For positions at bigger companies, you could easily be competing with hundreds or thousands of mass-sent applications. Even if a human being ever looks at your resume, she'll most likely make a decision on whether to throw it away in a few seconds before moving to the next one.

At this point I think applying to postings is pretty much dead. Instead, I'd focus on contacting your past colleagues asking if they know of any openings at their companies.

Instead, I'd suggest:
- Contact your past colleagues if you hadn't done so yet.
- If there are relevant conferences or meetups in your area, consider attending.
- Also, look into meetups for groups that might look for someone like you. E.g. if you go to a front-end meetups, you're just another guy in the crowd, but at a marketing or local chamber of commerce meetup there might be only a few people with the same skillset. Granted, this one often works better for freelancing, but still.
- A friend of mine found his previous job by contacting people in the field and asking for advice. He moved to a different city right after university, so had no local contacts – I told him to look up people in the companies he wanted to work for, and just message them asking for a short advice call. I think the third person he spoke to recommended him to someone that was hiring. Though the key here was that my friend was only asking for advice on how to get into the industry – but once he spoke with people, it was easy to make a good impression and they kept him in mind next time they heard of an opening.
I think the opposite - once deep fake porn becomes good enough, blackmailing/revenge porn will no longer be a thing. Anyone can just say that those images are fake, and porn of celebrities, exes, politicians will all be worthless.

If everybody considers P=NP a crackpot territory, then it will never happen, by definition. On the contrary, I think to believe that the sets described by NP-complete instances are somehow inherently "undescribable" (as is implied by naturalization) is crackpottery also.

But regardless, it's important to realize that modern cryptography relies on a hypothesis. It might be effectively true for now, but it might not in the future.

> Btw, if your polynomial algorithm for NP is any good, you should be able to break any encryption at all.

In theory, yes, in practice, there is a pretty big difference between "I think I just discovered how to do Gaussian elimination to solve linear equations" and "I can routinely solve sparse linear systems with millions of variables". Historically, it wasn't done by a single individual in a span of couple years.
