I am registered as an interviewer at my workplace ($big tech company) and in the past 2 years I've been assigned just one interview. In the past year I've been assigned zero. Interviews are randomly assigned. Front-end web developer. Internally I can see they are hiring countless full-time PMs, PgMs, directors... but developers being hired are here on 6 month vendor contracts, and not full time employees, which is a change. Something is happening.
X Corp. Sues Bright Data over Scraping
Ask HN: Deploying my project on multiple servers?
Currently I have 5 Linux servers setup, my code is based on Python and celery. Every time I make a revision, I have to manually upload the code. What would be the best solution to automatically deploy? I was thinking of setting up an NFS share, but I'm curious if there's a better way?
That's been suggested periodically for many years, but I'm not sure I'd ever trust it. I think people would always find a way to spoof the inputs, even if it's just by the analogue hole of focusing on a screen. This would be non-trivial, but both private and state espionage groups would be willing to pour a lot of money into the prospect of being able to have a "undeniably real" doctored image
It flops from side to side, six months/a year ago I got about one-three per week, now zero for several months and only bot adds.
When I fill up my gasoline car it claims 400 miles of range and I have never once gotten 300 before the needle hitting empty. (And I severely doubt the extra range on E is 100 miles…) Nobody is going after my car for lying about range…
I suspect my use case is different than you are picturing. For example, mine includes CO meters and Walmarts and “tent” is an analog for the back of my van which for practical purposes is a metal tent when I road trip.

To put it another way, I have a CO alarm in my van because I cook in my van because I live in my van for a few weeks at a time while traveling the US.

One June morning last year, I fired up my propane stove to make my oatmeal because my butane stove was low on fuel and because I was on “The Loneliest Road in America” [1] and it would be a couple of days before I hit Reno.

Keep in mind, the CO alarm went off because I have a CO alarm. The stupid act was assuming it was malfunctioning before I felt the headache.

I could be that stupid at home if the alarm in my home goes off.

Hope that makes sense.

For the average person that is not a simple solution.
It's not intuitive to "pin" a folder onto quick access and have it renamed. If I pin something, I just do a visual link to that.

What happens if the original folder is renamed? Then, intuitively, the pinned one get the new name. So you always know what folder is pinned.

If you want to rename the pinned one, may be a work around could be to make a link of the folder, rename as you like, and pin that link to quick access. It points to original location, but with a different name.
Curious, did your platform team have a PM?
No, but no tech users will think it is magic.
As a counterexample, I would say Blender is even more complicated and is doing very well with the same model. Of course, it started as commercial software but still.
I mean, all that money could be put to better use and fund Gimp or Inkscape for instance, instead of that vaporware. But I guess people are more willing to give money to these Kickstarter marketing pitch.
That's exactly what the parent comment says: title inflation.

I sometimes get even funnier CVs, where a person with 2-3 years of experience (usually from the Army) is already in a tech lead / architect position.
> But you instantly discount any great candidate who doesn’t interview well.

I never said that. I said it's a very important factor, but there are other factors as well.
Also, not interviewing well doesn't necessarily mean that you didn't prepare anything. Preparing also means reading up about the company, putting some effort in your CV etc.
What I'm looking for, again just as one of the indicators, is that the candidate has put some effort.
Well ok that's one thing. But op was suggesting to cold reach sales people, vendors and anything you had contact with plus basically creating a list of 'humans you might have use for in future' and their birthdays for your personal benefit.
There is definitely truth in this. I see lots of ads for senior full stack devs (and devops). Not so much for front end. I wonder why that is.
I'm less concerned about Teams bundling than I am about Microsoft using their control over their products (Windows, Minecraft, and probably everything else too) to force us all into their unholy Microsoft accounts.

Macs are general purpose computers. In what way are they not? Is there some task you just can't achieve with them?

There are no problems with debuggers. For one, debugging an app that isn't compiled in debug mode is very hard. If you're at that point something has gone badly wrong somewhere already. For another, there would only be a problem if you're trying to debug a production build of the browser whilst simultaneously accessing a service that wants to measure your environment. That would be an extremely specific scenario that virtually nobody would ever encounter, especially not compared to the much more common scenario of being asked to solve horrible CAPTCHAs.

Can't really do much else, just grabbing some popcorn and watching it burn I guess.
1. Skills, add as many skills as you have.

2. You have 2500 words limit in the About section. Write about all the projects you were involved in. Instead of just writing: "Experience in Mongo", it could be "Improved the system's performance by 30% by optimizing Mongo."

3. Again, add skills to each of your working history.

4. you can add the training courses or what you're learning for hot skills in the market.

5. Professional quality photo. You don't need to spend on getting a professional photographer. You can use AI tools to improve a selfie from your phone to look professional.

These will not get you the job, but will increase your appearance in search results.
> If Google can take unilateral action to fundamentally change the basic principles of the web, then the W3C is already* useless.*

Isn't this more or less Google's official stance since the founding of the WHATWG?

I feel, if the W3C had any actual power in anything web/browser related, we'd all be writing XHTML3 today.

To my knowledge, Chrome doesn't even officially implement any W3C standard - they implement the WHATWG's "HTML Living Standard" which is not influenced by the W3C at all.

(At least this was the case a decade ago. Not sure how things have developed since then, since apparently there is now is also the WICG, that develops new proposals.)

This is literally how I got every job I’ve had over the last 30 years. You ought to give it a try. People who know you and you know them are the best way to get good jobs. You can ask frank questions, they can give frank advice, and they will talk you up with the hiring manager. I’m about as antisocial as humans get, but it sure beats beating pavement and cold calling.
If anyone is interested, QuarkXPress to InDesign is one of the case studies in my piece on software transitions https://blog.robenkleene.com/2023/06/19/software-transitions...
The assembly that killed Slotin was supposed to be used with safety spacers to avoid this specific accident type. He would have been alive if he used them. Fermi infamously warned the physicists, including Slotin, that they will be dead within a year.
You left off the most important pieces of into - where are you? Are you looking for remote, hybrid, in office? Do you need visa sponsorship?
It's a Network Operating System for configuring routers & switches (implemented on top of Debian). This means:

* You can SSH in and configure it like you would a managed switch or router. There's a single object that models all of the device's configuration, when you commit it a bunch of scripts activate and actaully apply the configuration to the running system.

* Deployments are image based, you can roll back to older images etc.

* You don't need to look at any of the system's underlying configuration files or use any of the normal Linux commands to examine and manipulate the state of the system (the commands are still there for convenience of course). You don't even need to be aware that you're really using a bunch of custom bash functions to examine and manipulate the state of the system.
You think it takes 5+ years to acquire those skills?! Man, I would be driven insane in an environment like that. Such a long time and a relatively low bar.
Not sure if you saw the sibling comment but in case you haven't:

> Enrico Fermi himself had warned Slotin that he would be “dead within a year” if he continued (the way he was working)

Some risks were absolutely known.

Thanks for the clarification. I thought you were talking about something else in the original comment.
>less engineers' are needed thanks to AI.

I dont believe
The most obvious argument against the validity of the Alcubierre drive (besides the exotic matter and energy requirements, and spacetime not working that way as far as we know, all of which which are substantial issues despite your handwaving them away) is the Fermi Paradox.

If, as you seem to be confidently asserting, the Alcubierre drive is feasible, has been built, and is what aliens are using to visit Earth, then given that even low estimates of the number of habitable planets in our galaxy runs into the millions (and there are more than trillions of galaxies in our observable universe) we must assume FTL travel is relatively commonplace. Even if only one species built a warp drive, they should have been able to colonize the entire observable universe by now. If one species has figured it out, it stands to reason that many more would have.

So where is the evidence? The Alcubierre Drive as theorized would give off an easily detectable signature. Where are these signatures? They should be everywhere. If the aliens visiting Earth are using Alcubierre drives, they should be particularly noticeable. But, of course, there is no sign of the effect of FTL travel anywhere in the observable universe, and even on Earth, the best anyone can come up with is conjecture and blurry photos.

Also, your mention of "expert physicist responses to it" fails to take into account the amount of criticism of the premise by the scientific community. You write as if the Alcubierre drive is proven science accepted by consensus and only engineering prevents us from building one, but of course that isn't remotely the case. As far as actual science is concerned, the Alcubierre might as well run on unicorn farts.

You're literally just taking one thing that doesn't exist, and "proving it" with another thing that doesn't exist. An argument that weak really doesn't merit the confidence you're putting out here. "But muh Alcubierre Drive" is not the slam dunk you seem to think it is.
Hi Founder here, i'm working on making the AI Characters more engaging and fun.

Both in terms of long memories together and smarts. as well as VFX such as talking (sadtalker style).

the backdrops are autogenerated depending on the situation/chats, have had some great community response to the product so far.

Also working on more engaging Visuals for the talking characters as well as sending images to them and them sending them back. Also AI Generated music to too suit the role plays people have with them.

Love to get any feedback i can on it.
Please let me know how it goes.
Aren't we there already? I think someone tried to do something similar as a jest related to the writers strike. Tried generating a script from AI to show how important actual writers were, but the script turned out really good.
Despite also reading the full article, I also have the same impression as the earlier poster.

Regardless of what this person says, my own experience and knowledge of trademark law tells me he's full of it.

My knowledge of software development seconds that thought, as does my knowledge of the software packages he's aiming to replace.

It's a scam, I'll happily eat my hat if he achieves -anything- close to what he's promising.
Since Smalltalk was mentioned, please consider following points:

1. Smalltalk has first class, live activation records (instances of the class Context). Smalltalk offers the special "variable" thisContext to obtain the current stack frame at any point during method execution.

If an exception raised, the current execution context is suspended and control is transferred to the nearest exception handler, but the entire stack frame remains intact and execution can be resumed at any point or even altered (continuations and prolog like backtracking facilities have been added to Smalltalk without changing the language or the VM).

2. The exception system is implemented in Smalltalk itself. There are no reserved keywords for handling or raising exceptions. The implementation can be studied in the live system and, with some precautions, changed while the entire system it is running.

3. The Smalltalk debugger is not only a tool for diagnosing and fixing errors, it also designed as tool for writing code (or put differently, revising conversational content without having to restart the entire conversation including its state). Few systems offer that workflow out of the box, which brings me to the last point.

4. I said earlier that Racket is different from Common Lisp. It's not only about language syntax, semantics, its implementation or other technicalities. It is also about the culture of a language, its history, its people, how they use a language and ultimately, how they approach and do computing. Even in the same language family tree you will find that there are vast differences, if you take said factors into account, so it might be worthwhile to study Common Lisp with an open mind and how it actually feels in use.
It's an emotional thing. When you spend formative years in a financial condition where food expenses were significant, and free food significantly eased financial pressure on you, that reaction to free food can stick with you long after you have the financial freedom to make your own choices.

I have also had LinkedIn recruiter messages dry up in the past 6 months, and as for the geolocation component I'm in NYC, and yes my profile is up to date, I'm listed as 'open to offers', etc. I used to get a dozen messages weekly, now maybe one per month.
>Work on a project that interests you and share it online

This is good advice, but remember it's not the only way. Not everyone is comfortable giving their work away for free.

(maybe its a new product/business idea etc). If the new business idea fails or you decide not to proceed with it you can still put it in your CV as long as you can describe it in detail and/or show potential employers your work. Assuming the project is related to your work of course.
Tech is very strongly bi-modal or even tri-modal in terms of both compensation and skill. Some people with 2-3 YOE will operate better than some people with 10 YOE.
Is this from Google or can anyone use the typeface Google Sans?
Ruby websites like GitHub generally seem nicer and more elegant that Python/Django ones like python.org or Instagram. The latter are clunky.

I wonder if the language influences the aesthetics. Python is boring and clunky as well.

Some people here criticize meta-programming. I was one of them until I read the gorgeous Homebrew configuration files. Of course, don't overdo it.
I think point 3b depends on how you publish your findings. It can be either:

"I found the first superconductor material at room-temperature", or

"I found a material which seems to be superconductor at room-temperature, please help me to test if it is true or otherwise to find the error in my observation data"

The latter doesn't seem to me to be at risk of embarrassment, on the contrary it is how the scientific method should work.

The risk is extremely low, but still exists (because price pressure and contamination risks).

Some diseases could also spread via undercooked milk or meat.

It's funny though. Do you like eating hair with your pizza?

Flours often contain l-cysteine, for price reasons often produced not in a laboratory, but through the hydrolysis of human hair (mostly from asian countries iirc), poultry feathers, or hog hair.
AI-Generated Data Can Poison Future AI Models
For example tables that store huge amount of logs or sensor data where IDs are not very useful and just increase space usage and decrease performance.
What I find easy(ier?) is to run (x)sense on a dedicated firewall and either a mesh with cheap openwrt routers or get something like Deco mesh and run it in AP mode if you don’t have cat6 at home. I think this combination can be under 300$ for a 3-pack of mesh Deco x20 + an intel card on a refurb dell optiplex.
It doesn’t help that the Bolt is the worst EV on the market besides the Leaf, mostly due to price point. You also wouldn’t notice the charging being slow as much if you had a charger installed in your garage, cheaper too.

All that being said, having driven both, it’s no competition a Tesla is far better in every conceivable way. The Model 3 is more efficient with its energy as well.
Considering their competitors have got alarmingly close for a fraction of that.

However I suspect there's a ton of stuff that's not obviously visible.

1. Their software stack and default apps are generally a lot more polished than the competition. I suspect they are doing a lot of UX work.

2. Some of the money has been spent of features and apps that their competitors don't even have. (the utility of those can be debated but they exist and they cost money to design and build)

3. They were first movers for some of their feature set. It costs more to make than to copy.

4. There is probably a ton of R&D for things that haven't seen the light of day.

5. They probably pay higher salaries than many of their competitors. (They also probably have a bigger bureaucratic overhead on account of their size and the regulatory scrutiny they are under)
Luckily for you, you don’t need to. Consider outliers.

The reason they the US mandated backup cameras was due to accidents like this.

They were that common.

from your original point.

> In response to your post however I think we can dispense with the notion that folks backing into parked cars, light posts, etc, represents anything more than a nuisance to whoever owned the property that got backed into. Yeah it says "crash" in the writeup but we're not talking Michael Bay style 8 lanes of exploding cars here.

Given the complete lack of any empathy at all you've shown, I don't expect you to change your mind on this, but please try to consider if we have a way to prevent deaths, then maybe we should try and not just consider a parent backing over their child to "represents anything more than a nuisance to whoever owned the property that got backed into."
I think the point is that some people don't acquire it within 5 or even more years. Think of a typical checked-out worker, without any specific ambition in professional life. There's plenty of people like that.
The subscript concept itself is nothing new, it is basically just a generalized element accessor, typically for collection types, arrays, dictionaries, etc.

> There should be an effort to offer 50 years of security updates for Debian 12. That would create more value for real businesses than...

Real businesses seem to prefer to spend time dealing with breakages than money to avoid them. It's not economically optimal.

Some buy their OS from IBM instead with mixed results but generally more focus on doing things businesses seem to want.
At least in regards to competing against hundreds of applicants, I think that's driven by how easy it is to submit a job application now, and by the fact that so many roles are remote. I'm job searching as well at the moment, and a friend I talked to said he had genuinely applied to at least 1000 jobs, in basically any city in the country, before landing the role he has now. Said he submitted 20 applications/day, 5 days a week for 6 months. That kind of math can explain why so many roles have 1000+ other applicants.

Sysco is reliable, you order ten pounds of tomatoes and you will get your ten pounds of tomatoes day in and day out.

Sure you could send your chef to the farmer’s market to pick tomatoes but that is more costly and sometimes he’d return empty handed.
Haha, I once had to reach out to two guys I worked with 5 years ago for references, because the role I was applying for required two references from two previous jobs and these two guys were the only ones that were still working in that place. No doubt it was a bit weird for them, but one's gotta do what one's gotta do. They both agreed BTW.
I was briefly a dev lead responsible for hiring contractors. The company I worked for already had a contract with a certain recruiting agency - the same one I came in through.

The brief stint I was at the company, the recruiter gave me tickets to the local professional baseball team that included access to premium suites and tickets to the local professional football team.

But yeah I get it, having a free meal wouldn’t mean much to me.
What I'm looking for, and that's also what I wrote, is that candidate has put some effort. This can also be in getting to know about the company or in updating his/her CV. There are candidates that are so fond of themselves and their perceived technical skills, that they act like diva's and don't find it necessary to put any effort. I'd rather not have those as my colleagues.
I'm not saying that not preparing automatically means the candidate is such a diva, there can ofc be many other reasons, but it's an indicator to be alert for.

And again, this is not the only indicator I'm looking for.
A candidate who didn't prepare much but can tell very enthusiastically about some project or technology is obviously motivated as well.
