How odd, a post about the aesthetics of syntax which doesn't mention the most beautiful of all, S-expressions.

It's not just about this.

There is a systematic effort to plagiarize from Indian traditions and then claim them to be rediscoveries of the West, inline with historical racist-supremacist constructions. You can see this historically across Mathematics, Astronomy and Medicine in very concrete terms. That they're now doing it with Yoga, Vipassana, Ayurveda etc. is quite disappointing.

Andrew Huberman at Stanford has an entire lab (and a very popular podcast) designed to rip off Indian traditions to the point where news-releases will neither mention the ripped off name, nor even mention India. The Americans will at-best mention 'South Asia' as if Pakistan/Bangladesh, who are actively genociding followers of India's native faiths, were creators of this.

They've also tried patenting Basmati and Turmeric and many other things. It's amusing to see 'alt-right' geniuses sell things like Ashwagandha/Turmeric and other Ayurvedic nutraceuticals to their 'Murcan audiences' while hating on Hindus as 'satan worshippers who are destroying US'.

On a more important note: this raises a big point. Modern 'Western culture' is not universal, but is in fact very much Christian and with that, has inherited its extremely deep-rooted and vicious irrational hate for so-called 'devil worshipping pagans'.

Western academics will never talk about cultures they've marked for destruction either. Very much like the Anglo-media almost never lets out the real reason for why they are going for war on random far-off countries (it's not 'democracy and freedom').

I moved out of the US when I realized all this and today generally avoid US/Europe, both for business and travel.
I like the insane brokenness of the game which made possible to speedrun it in so strange ways.
This is a somewhat cynical attitude that assumes compassion must come conjoined with suspension of good judgement. I'm a naturally analytical and anxious individual who has, as of late, found a measure of stress relief by directing some of my mental energy toward the wellbeing of others. Beyond basic necessities and financial security, obsessing over your own wellbeing/financials can be its own torture. Sometimes, something as simple as feeding a stray dog or buying someone meds can relieve stress. Interestingly, writing checks or transferring funds online, does not have the same effect.
This is a topic, I really dont want to comment on:

But here it goes:

Job sites are spam.
Supply and demand is all that matters.
People who suck got laid off. So what.
These companies are incredibly dysfunctional at hiring ANYBODY in software.
That includes FAANG.

Software Engineering is no longer a respectable career regardless of pay.
The reason is that the goal of "de-professionalizing" software engineers since the mid-90s has been accomplished within 15 years since 2005.

This de-professionalizing effort was the purpose and reason for the H1-B program expansion during the Bush and Obama administrations.

The main drivers behind it were Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. Neither of whom wanted to pay engineers, (Bill G was more entrenched though as he said in the 90s he wanted to pay software engineers 6-7 dollars an hour)

Unfortunately for both Bill G and Steve J they were caught (red-handed by the way) not only trying to fix engineer wages, create blacklists but also trying to "KILL JAVA" which is all on DOJ grand jury testimony video recordings you can access yourself. Fortunately (for them), however, the US govt cares not about what it pretends to care about in public.

So the GOOD news is: Tech hiring is corrupt, managers are usually going to be gone after they fail to build their "kingdom" which they ALWAYS do
and even in a market "full" of genuises and apprentices, noone will read your resume anyway.

Because IT hiring is and has been a scam for almost 2 decades.

Does that answer your question?

Good luck.
In the US, eating out used to be seen as a luxury. Your parents would hire a babysitter and then go get a steak dinner with a baked potato and a dessert. This ritual might happen 3-5 times per year (anniversary, birthdays, and maybe Valentines). You also needed to drive into the city from your suburban town which added time and complexity.

Eating like this a few times a year is fine and not really an issue for our metabolism. Most people probably wouldn't even notice.

As America developed into the 21st century, the restaurant experience was transformed into a solution for the working class, but the core product did not change. So now they have crazy high calorie meals with the price and convenience of the snacks at your local European cafe.

Since I moved to to the EU from the US, this is just blatantly obvious. Eating out here is expensive (at least in NL) so when I do go out to eat, I don't really care about nutrition macros. I'm usually there to celebrate and enjoy myself.

We're starting to see a shift in the past decade of restaurants realizing that they have an obligation to their customers to provide a "healthy" meal while struggling internally to balance that with the obvious; if stuff tastes really good (ie more fat and sugar) then people will want to come back.

Surprisingly, Taco Bell has been a leader in this movement and is slowly changing their menu to be more healthy and accessible to alternate diets while still maintaining loyalty with their customer base.

As inflation continues and entry-level restaurant workers continue to push for higher and higher wages, it will be interesting to see how the market reacts. Americans only eat out so much because it's (somewhat) affordable. Take that away and watch how these businesses transform again to cater to new customer demands.
You should have background for your worlds. If you claim something, it doesn't mean that it is a fact until other proves the opposite.
As someone who has been on both ends of hiring, why do you care about gaps in employment? People can either do the job or they can't, I don't see why their personal life (or whatever they took off for, willing or not) is relevant.
How to buy EdTech that isn't evil
We don't need very much of this work.

Unlike in many fields, there is no value in a cheap local substitute for cryptographic algorithms. Indeed vanity ciphers (many smaller powers wanted their own symmetric ciphers for national pride reasons) fell out of favour because they're just worse in practice.

So the competition for your Cryptographic hash isn't some idea by a guy from the next town, it's SHA-512/256 and maybe SHA-3.

Try something else, should the US Government have a department which vets architectural plans for a new Capitol building. Sure, the US Capitol is a pre-civil war building, and there's no reason it would be torn down and rebuilt or replaced as a whole, but surely it's unfair to just have one dead guy get to design the Capitol when who knows, Suzy, a ten year old from Maryland, who has no architectural training and mostly just thinks everything should have ponies on it, might have a better design? Why are there so many Gatekeepers? Suzy's design for the Capitol might be great, it's unfair that she's not considered just because she isn't an expert and they don't need a new one designed.

I can't answer why the developer thought a faster hash was necessary. As to its quality as a hash function...

It's pretty poor, and slow on modern systems. It's known as the djb2 hash. (h << 5) + h is a way of writing 33*h without needing multipliers.

It fails pretty much every modern statistical test you can throw at it: https://gitlab.com/fwojcik/smhasher3/-/blob/main/results/per...

It's redeeming quality is that the code size is absolutely tiny, and that 33*h mod 2^64 is a reversible map, so if your input data is randomly distributed at least your output will be as well.
> If anyone knows any non-container lie overhead ways to partition a single vcpu and a gig of ram like this I'd be interested to hear about it.

You can use cgroups[1] to do this, because that's what your container runtime is doing. People don't know this because they think these features have something to do with their container runtime and that's what they use, so no one discovers it.

Plus, the user facing tools for cgroups are slightly hideous. And that won't ever get fixed for the reasons previously stated. Sigh.

Also, I'm sure a lot of people would appreciate learning about your tuning techniques, containers or otherwise. Consider writing it up.

This is not realistic outlook. If such systems are present, I would see additional hurdles along the way, just we see by Cloudflare if your requests aren't of the usual kind. This does make web discoverability much worse.

It is simply the wrong approach to focus on the negative, in this case spam or in general hostile bots.
I was kinda hoping the article was about how terrible a user interface chat is.

All the implementations I've seen so far fall into one of two categories: deterministic or non-deterministic.

The deterministic ones (e.g. that comically bad Mcdonald's job application bot) operate like those old telephone interfaces, where you need to work your way through a conversation tree to input data. This should be a simple form.

The non-deterministic ones, which are actually powered by LLMs are worse. Here there's no structure, no guarantees, and a fuzzy, stochastic approach to everything. Fine for some things (e.g. coding support or whatever normies do with ChatGPT) but terrible for controlling an application.
Yes, they are present in most large American cities (> 100k population). 200+ locations.
Lot of things depends on where you are located.

In EU, market is not very bad as compared to US. It is still easy to find a good opportunity.

In US, it is really hard hit.

In South east Asia/India, it is calm before the storm as operational costs are low, it is last one to experience the stream of layoffs. It hasn't hit the market yet.
This is how I've always described it.

It's also how I say that there isn't really a useful problem that decentralisation solves. After all, most git users use git in a centralised way.

Don’t heed warnings of Day After Tomorrow ocean collapse, says Met Office
Just yesterday we had the 30th birthday of Windows NT and while I'm not suggesting that moving between versions would not have required effort, that it probably the platform you should have opted for if you want multi-decade stability for your application.

You would have need to adapt your code along the way but if you wrote a C++ application or service 30 years ago, there is a good chance of making that run on modern Windows as well.

I'm not a Windows, nor a C++ guy, but that seems like it would have been a pretty safe choice if you built an application back then with the expectation of having it running 50 years later.
Thanks! Let me know what you think when you try it out.
I definitely had a lot of inspiration from gumroad - love their design too.
I don't see why circles would necessarily be the most parsimonious shape of it was indeed water scarcity (then again im not sure termite colonies or home ranges are necessarily circular either)
You're partially correct in that it does not focus on the source of stress. Rather, it focuses on the Source of peace.

As a Christian, my contemplative practice is focused on the source of truth and life, Christ Jesus. There will still be suffering in this life, but it will pass away, and Christ will remain, our Source of peace and comfort.

My contemplative practice helps me prepare for that day by peeling away all the distractions and false trappings of everyday life, and discovering what is truly important. It is a journey of discovery, a journey of finding Jesus, and thereby finding my identity as a child of God.

I say to each their own, so long as "their own" does not harm others. If Buddhism works for someone, cool. If going to a psychologist works, also cool. When it comes to mental health, I think we can all agree that a one-size-fits-all solution doesn't exist.
Apologies if this comes off as blunt, but this is the type of content I come to read at hacker news rather than it being just a series of obituaries.

The author has made a lot of great points, but one that stuck with me was:

> I consciously spend a lot more time trying to develop problems, and to do a really good job of articulating them, rather than trying to pitch solutions.

I haven’t thought of it in this way, but this is an excellent way of motivating someone to “own” a problem.
I plan to have support for other job boards (greenhouse, ashby, indeed, etc.) soon.
Remember those "day in the life of a Google Project Manager" videos, where they do nothing but hang out on Zoom meetings and pig out on free food and snacks?

Yeah, in many cases, those folks make roughly $235k/year. (And consume another $100k/year in lobster, shrimp, smoothies, and snickers bars.)

$235k is absolutely nothing for software development, and you probably won't be able to hire even one talented developer -- let alone a team -- with a war-chest that size.

You seem very fond of making huge generalizations about people based on their country of origin.

The "western way" is only (strictly) in opposition to Buddhism in the narrative you are subscribing to. The reality is that many Americans are acutely aware of just how toxic aspects of mainstream American culture. It is probably best to approach debate from this point of view, particularly if you want to convince people rather than simply pissing them off.

If someone says Buddhism is not for them - drop it. You don't understand their problems better than they do and your religion - like all religions - requires an irrational leap of faith whether you like it or not. This is off putting to a lot of people who favor rationality - particularly those who are so fed up with the aforementioned mainstream culture I describe (but don't subscribe to your religion).

Just to clarify again, my contention is not that you're arguing incorrectly per se. It is that you are being overconfident and righteous, which appears smug and indicates you aren't _really_ looking to empathize with contradicting points of view. It's rude. If I came up to you and told you about how Jesus was going to change your life, smiling the whole time and speaking only of the positives you might feel similarly? I don't know.
Nice! I've used Rezi a couple of times.
I'm using it on Ubuntu Studio with Jack and that's fast enough that I don't see lag. It'll never be as quick as an electronic piano but midi over USB is quite fast. I love their Linux support by the way, rock solid.
I just put my silenced smartphone on the table and after 15 minutes it sounds a pleasant bell to remind me meditation time is over. Sometimes I want to do guided practice so I listen to the instructions of the meditation guide.

So, where is the problem here? Maybe you are arguing an uninformed strawman.

I could argue the same thing about going to a place of worship. You are surrounded by people (the thing that biologically distracts us the most since we crave social interactions) that make sounds or move about, plus sometimes there is a master guiding people in their practice.

Isn't that the textbook definition of distracting? Why can you magically ignore a whole drove of people around you but somehow a silenced smartphone is just too much to handle? Double standard much.

Consulting is absolute shit. The only way to make it work is if you already have the contacts with companies that have the money to spend or if you have a channel that can get you those contacts (eg. a huge following on twitter, or a popular blog)

I have a couple companies I do consulting work that are great for but they came to me through my network, I have tried to get more work but either I get stuck in an endless sales cycle (think over 1yr of sales meetings and no money exchanges hands) or their budget is extremely low.
If you're so overworked that you don't think you have time for ten minutes of meditation every day, then your time management is poor and needs a re-evaluation of priorities.

Do you say the same thing about the gym, or sleep time? Are you too busy to rest in bed for 7-8 hours a night?
Assuming we are talking about software engineer positions, at least in the US I have not seen any company that requires applicants to actually send an email to apply for a long time. Just about every company uses an online applicant tracking system, either a third party, common system or an in-house one.

As someone who was trained extensively on Adobe products and is using them regularly, I can just recommend to give the Affinity tools a look. (They also got a summer sale running right now, so you can grab the whole suite for a $150 one time payment.)

They work really well, some things are just the same as in the Creative Cloud, and I'am not missing anything so far.

Sadly, the commercial world will mostly stick to Adobe, so I'll have to use that at work, too. Pricing for the Creative Cloud is just too high if you want to do it "for fun", though.
The problem being that when you muck up the interview, you get outed as a quack to someone you know.

He's been banging the drum on testing for longer, and that makes up for a lot of craziness (I'm with you on microservcies, except where you have 1k+ developers where they might make sense).

> A smartphone is a device designed to distract us and hold our attention.

No it isn't.

> to distract us and hold our attention. Even with a well-behaved app on it, it's still designed and configured to constantly beep and whistle and send notifications, and fly into our hand and compel us to doomscroll something unimportant.

That doesn't match my experience in over the decade of using smartphones.

> Someone who is practicing contemplation should not be held prisoner by a robot voice or a glowing screen

A smartphone is a tool.

> but instead reach an inner presence of God, and His stillness encompassing all that we experience during that sacred time.

Buddhism is non-theistic. There is no God.

Actually, Serif has ventured surprisingly deeply into Adobe's territory.

I know professional designers that prefer Affinity for many projects. They still pay for Adobe, still use Adobe often (and agree that when they need it - Affinity is not yet close), but actually prefer Affinity for some projects.

Now, even taking on Affinity will cost more than a few hundred thou, but if you can get traction the sky is the limit.

One idea would be to fork Gimp, focus mostly on the UI, and allow for all changes to be pulled back upstream. That would essentially turn them into the steward for GiMP, but may give them access to talent that otherwise would be out of reach and that would split the community.

Well, no. If everything is open source, $235K is good for perks and incentives - and to ensure that the project is alive and active.

Well when the whole world is reading, you only publish what is really "solid" ... and that means ... not that ground-breaking. So I think you are right, he is catching up. Just I think the motivation is more "do not screw my reputation/company up" instead of the "out of the game too long".

On the other side: You can be perfectly right ;)

There are indeed established standards just a few for each area like hashing, authentication, encryption and so on--one of the things I'm staying.

However, the idea that work is almost complete in crypto, and therefore new work is unneeded, is false (and likely an artefact of the order I'm describing). Take for instance this current work on ZK hashes: https://www.zellic.io/blog/algebraic-attacks-on-zk-hash-func...
He's from the Kagi team. The founder, if memory serves.
I feel like the inevitable trademark dispute would not be in Semple's favor. He seems to think it's fine, probably because he's gotten away with it in the past due to "parody", but when you're actually selling a product that is the same as the product the other company is selling, I think it will be much harder to use that defense.
