I'm not positive we're disagreeing here, just sharing my personal thoughts. I definitely quit caring what people thought long ago, though, that part is true.

I find the younger generation antisocial to detriment, but maybe that's the old guy talking. So I think a lot of the folks missing it are of my ilk. Kinda how some guys miss playing high school football and such. I didn't, so my 'glory days' were in the office, and I admit as much.
Just a few more months then people will stop talking about it, as usual.
It seems like a really, really difficult task to enforce any laws that might develop around this. This isn't like paparazzi nudes that get out every few years - it's just math, and thousands could be generated overnight with little compute.

I don't know what the laws should be, but I think there are some serious limitations on what's possible/practical at this point.
How do you find these positions? I speak German and did my studies there but always worked in other places.
> That humans never faced this before

Can you point to any time during the existence of our species with a similar kind of change?

> and it's collapse of whole ecosystem.

That's mostly based on scientific studies, existing examples of rapid changes in ecosystems, and previous mass extinction events. Do you have any evidence counter to this idea?
>Then I guarantee your search engine will mostly contain spam, low-effort reposts, content farms, egregiously bad SEOs, and other useless stuff.

I can't help but think I've encountered this type of content before...but where.

I also wouldn't exactly call this kind of response "outrage" but something close to befuddled amusement. "Whoops! Looks like we accidentally blocked those sites that criticize us! Yikes." If in err, then what an error! If by intent, then who would believe otherwise?

I suppose some cranky, overly emotional weirdos might get in a tizzy, but this is pretty bog standard stuff. It's just fun to gawk at the sweaty fat man on the tricycle trying to backpedal across the motorway.
You are incorrect; optimizations are possible in dynamic linking by making first references go through a slow path, which then patches some code thunk to make a direct call. This is limited only by the undesirability of making either the callling object or the called object a private, writable mapping. Because we want to keep both objects immutable, the call has to go into some privately mapped jump table. That table contains a thunk that can be rewritten to do a direct call to an absolute address. If we didn't care about sharing executables between address spaces we could patch the actual code in one object to jump directly to a resolved address in the other object. (mmap can do this: MAP_FILE plus MAP_PRIVATE: you map a file in a way that you can change the memory, but the changes appear only in your address space and not the file.)
Check out The Prophet by Khalil Gibran, he uses few words to say a lot:

"Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding. Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain."

I don’t criticize any individual for simply implementing what the social structure lead them to do. That is, my messages were not meant into "name and shame" any specific person. That’s really the overall social game that I found laughable.
It has the power to deceive and leave a lasting impression on those who may see it in passing and not realize its fake. Also, it can be demeaning considering the faked subjects would have no say consent-wise in the distribution of the faked content.

Think of what happened with Hulk Hogan, who had a sex tape released without his permission. Though it was real, it left a lasting impression on a given audience, and it tarnished his reputation (further), and he successfully sued because, iirc, the video was “leaked” without his consent.
As a lifelong resident of the Dallas area (Garland, Richardson, Plano, Addison, Dallas, Sachse, back to Dallas, and now Allen), I think Cheesecake Factory is successfully splitting the difference between Bucca di Beppo and Texas Roadhouse :)
> You're gonna miss out on a lot of upside with that mentality.

I doubt i’d miss working on code assembly lines. Plus my contracts are there to pay bills, the real coding and tech happens outside. This mentality brought me a mortgage free house, plenty of savings for the next few years and a solid network of folks whom all know whatsup. I’m doing fine with an owned personality. Probably because once a client agrees to such my “absurd” requests, such as letting me work in an environment i am familiar with since early youth, i give my absolute best to deliver the hard money i’m paid. I’ll even put up with crap such as would be agile and bootcamp “grads”. Heck i’ll even listen to how you think ai will take over your job tomorrow. Just dont mess with my os and chat app.
They actually did a port of SMB3 and presented that to Nintendo. When Nintendo didn’t bite, they made new assets to make what became Keen.

Note: I have no idea why I made such a crappy comment above. Must have been a bad mood. Sorry about that!
I doubt anyone would run a Kafka cluster that spans multiple regions.

Stretch clusters and clusters with brokers in different AZs are absolutely a thing in Kafka. I make no comment on the ease relative to Nats, which I don't know at all.
Personally, no. But Minecraft isn't what I'm talking about.
There is, or at least was, tangible benefit if you understand how it works.

A page file is, as it says, a file that's located in the root of whichever partitions that they are configured on. By default it's only configured on the C: partition and the size of the page file is variable, managed by Windows according to system demands. The page file is equivalent to a swap partition, for the Linux and BSD users out there.

Manually configuring the page file has a number of benefits, if you know what you're after (and you're using HDDs):

* You can specify a size, fixed or variable, for your page files. By default Windows allocates a fairly small page file, and if your page file use exceeds that allocation Windows has to allocate more space on the fly. This takes time, especially if the page file resides on a HDD. If you configure a fixed size, or a variable size with a large minimum size, you don't need to worry about that dynamic allocation which translates to more performance. Another benefit to a fixed page file is that you can have the page file occupy one continuous area on a HDD platter, for better access times and thus better performance; a dynamic allocation more often than not leads to a fragmented page file and thus worse performance.

* You can specify which partitions you want to use for your swap space. It wasn't unusual to just dedicate a partition to a page file, effectively the same thing as a swap partition, especially if your C: partition wasn't that big. This is important for the next bullet point.

* Back when we still ran our programs off of HDDs, making a partition earlier in the drive meant locating that partition on the outer areas of the platter. The outer areas of the platter travel faster than the inner areas, because physics, and faster platter speed means faster access times. By placing the page file on such a partition, the page file has better access times and thus you get better performance.

A lot of these benefits have gone away thanks to RAM becoming both cheaper and more plentiful, and the storage medium where the page file resides changing from HDDs to SSDs in general. So most people usually don't need to mess with their page files anymore.

But for people with specific needs or just a desire to really fine tune their systems, tweaking the page file by hand is still a worthwhile endeavour if you understand what you can get out of it.

Looking forward to that, when digital images/video no longer means anything to people. Hopefully then people will lean to ONLY trust and value real in person interactions... Until of course we invents holodeck ;-)
few weeks of uptime? If you are not running any servers on windows, that shouldn't be an issue. Just shutdown your pc like a normal person.

Basically, you build up a set of cryptographically verified computing primitived (like secure enclave) that are enforced by a hardware component with baked in from the manufacturer keys. Basically it's setting up an "owned by vendor computing channel" and baking it into the Silicon.

You won't get the chance to refuse this feature. There'll be too much money at stake for manufacturers to not retool for it. It'll be the only thing they make to sell, so take it or leave it chump.
Hah. I’m saying the idea that a man could pose on their résumé as a black lesbian sounds more like a male fantasy scenario, because that’s not how professional résumés work at all.

Where do you even put the lesbian part? College extracurriculars?

I’m not 100% on this but I believe the NES has a dedicated graphics chip for sprite manipulation, where as it all had to be done in software on the PC
Well from my understanding, if you have an active lifestyle, then your body needs carbs to replenish glycogen stores. And proteins to repair and grow muscles. Fats aren't needed for anything in particular, except in small amounts.

But 2040 kCal is so much that the body will turn the energy into fat even if it didn't start out as fat.
Not if you read the actual link above.

Reading the other comments, it's wild how different people's experiences with this can be even in the same country. In my experience, in the UK, the availability of types of jobs is dependant on the city and seniority level. London seems to have the most front end jobs for example.

As to how to get hired, although I have succeeded with direct application, recruiters are a very popular way here to get a job, especially in web development.

Finding a recruiter you trust to be working close to your interests is important, but not critical. The best recruitment firms I have found through talking to colleagues and managers. Managers often have a strong opinion on which firms refer the best candidates.

I expect another angle is the type of company you're expecting to get a job at and the compensation level. I've never applied to a FAANG, but I expect all of this advice goes out the window. Perhaps though if it is applying to too-senior jobs that is your problem then talking to a trusted recruiter could be helpful.

I don't know anything about resume scoring services, but perhaps they are flawed in some way? Your CV could be great for applying to certain types of jobs, but not for the ones you are applying for. I can suggest forwarding it on to someone who you look up to, who is able to give candid, honest thoughts on it. For example the company you were working at may not be a prestigious company or the technology you were using may not contain the keywords that hiring managers often are looking for.

You haven't given much information so there are many possibilities as to what is going wrong, including ones outside of what I have mentioned. Good luck.
The post-modern labor dichotomy between robots and human robots is mirrored on the hiring side in ATS and HR, respectively.

Yeah no. There are times when it's useful. I think most of the times you don't need it but you coming in and saying don't use it sounds a bit pretentious.

Ruby does not have to do what other languages are doing. There is no good or bad.

Do you have any stories? Tried using it and it backfired? Were bitten by a nasty bug in a gem?
This article, seems biased, lacking of seeing the rest of the bigger picture problems with deepfakes, and it fails to produce any proof for any of its claims. The picture comparison, is laughable, at best (especially if you have tried to make a perfect deepfake--- it is actually not THAT easy).

There is absolutely nothing new, added to this discussion, by this article. It also seem gender provocative and charged, as the article choose to exclude male deepfakes as an equal probable problem, without even commenting on it? I suspect deepfakes to be just as valid for turning voters, blackmail, false imprisonment, and the likes - and that would include both genders.

This feels like bait/trash journalism, to me - On a topic that is worth a real discussion, in regard to real life problems,
You can set up a double bound really easily for this. Play on speaker, and have someone move the speaker a couple of metres. See if you really can tell whether it has been moved.

To the contrary, it took about six years until the most persistent UK recruiter stopped calling me back. There is certainly a function of how well does your CV match their clients in there.
There have been some industry wide collapses- the dot com bust in 2000-2002 most notably, a few more industry specific slumps such as during the housing market crash in 08, and most recently FAANG-esque companies went on an absolutely wild hiring spree during COVID lockdowns and remote-work period.

Many big tech companies went through a round or two of layoffs in the last year. I interviewed I think two or three junior devs a few months back who had been hired at Facebook or Twitter or some other company and let go within a few months of being hired.

Note that "fired" and "laid off" are very different things, with different causes, worker protections, and expectations around i.e. severance. I don't know that it is uncommon to get laid off at some point, but it also isn't something that you really go into a job expecting will happen either. Personally, the only people I know of who were laid off were in non-tech fields.
The problem with bullying is the bullying itself, and not the specific way in which it is performed. It does not matter if you are being bullied old-fashioned analog, or hypermodern digital. The issue is that we basically have never thought of a reliable way to protect children from other children, in the age category where it is necessary. It is one of those semi-taboo topics where we actually prefer to look away and hope a solution will solidify on its own. Because we dont want to accept that children can be cruel assholes. At least not our children! Maybe the spoiled brat from the neighborhood, yeah, that child is... But not mine! My child is sweet honey, the best human ever conceived...
If the US is funding the research, what is it about the US political system which prevents Americans from enjoying those same gains?

I suggest that perhaps it’s a difference in perspective on rights. In Europe, there is a positive right to healthcare. In the US, there is no such right apart from certain circumstances. We turn our nose up at “handouts”. The US expects the free market to handle it instead, which it has. This has led to large portions of the country with few doctors and even fewer affordable ones.
Just ignored my questions to give the standard allusions rants....

"proves the collateral exists" means who validates the asset doesn't have a standard run of the mill contract/lien/etc?

Just answer that, and _actually_ answer it (the site sure doesn't in any reasonable nor concise manner) and we'll go from there.
European achievements in the Enlightenment and Rennaissance and Classical Period and Industrial Revolution were special, full stop. You're the racist if you think it's because of their race, as evidenced by you injecting race into the conversation. You see things racially.
Most cyber breaches would stop if governments levied fines of a level commensurate with the breaches. For instance, if companies were fined on a pro rata basis that equaled or exceeded profit from storing people's data then those companies that couldn't guarantee security wouldn't take the risk and get out of the business.

If there are objections to this fines model then there are others. It seems to me the real problem with cyber security is lobbying pressure from corporate interests on politicians, hence no appropriate laws with enough deterrent value in place.
Even back then there was already a large gap widening between the slowest and fastest graphics cards. Between the bus widening from 8-bit > 16/32-bit, graphics cards supporting posted writes so the CPU wouldn't have to wait as much, and faster CPUs, fast systems could write a 640x480x256 screen at 300 fps or faster. In your case, you may have even either had a cached system memory buffer and DMA copy, or the drawing being done by a blitter. But even in the time of Win98, some 3D cards on the low end had really slow CPU access that barely beat an old ISA bus card.

Screen resolutions have gotten so high that there's a bit of a reversal again -- even if you can redraw an entire 4K screen at 60 fps, it's not exactly efficient. Games typically still redraw everything, but desktop compositors definitely do some optimizations, including dynamically assigning layers to hardware planes to reduce redrawn area.
I can't say about the current market but I got my last job over a year ago by posting on HN who wants to be hired (this month's post is here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36573869) try posting there on the 1st.

Recruiters usually just pay lip service and pretend to send your CV through.
They data mine and will have already put people forward at jobs you think you're applying to.
About 30-50% of the time your CV won't be sent immediately, if at all, until their other candidate is rejected and I have (personal) evidence of this.

The reason for this is 2 fold:

1. They directly stop you competing with their current candidate, who is probably the highest % cut.

2. They indirectly stop you being put forward by other recruiters when you say "oh another recruiter has put me forward" (which they haven't, but you have a verbal contract with).

So the number of jobs you think you're applying to is actually less .

If you suspect this is happening (and make sure genuinely it's not just a delay in the HR dept first by asking probing questions) call the company and ask them directly, state that the recruiter is being a little slow corresponding and you'd like to confirm the status of your application. If they haven't heard of you, terminate your verbal contract with the recruiter and send your CV directly to the company.
This happened for my current job, and now I'm earning a substantial amount of money (think tech arch, top end salary).

My boss said during hiring "I don't know why they wouldn't pass on your CV, you were clearly the better candidate".
They prefer stealth layoffs here in the Netherlands. The end result is the same: you’re out, but with no severance and gaslit AF. Thanks Rutte, I guess?
It's pretty abhorrent to practically digitally unclothe someone (unless they fully consent to it), and more times than not the content produced by this will be shared online to countless other people.

The thing is, you cannot guarantee that everyone will know it's fake, and when you weaponise it against people who can't distinguish it there'll be consequences.

Currently we see people found to be doing Adult Content online fired from their jobs, but what if a technically-blind boss gets sent a ton of deepfakes of an employee and is falsely told they do content like that on the side? What if a doubting partner suddenly receives deepfakes of their partner with someone else? What if your political rival starts spreading deepfakes with wildly rabid claims about yourself which the media picks up and reports on – bullshit has spread around the world by the time the truth has tied its shoelaces.

Think about the absolute inane content people believe on Facebook. Think about the misinformation that gets spread over Twitter just because the fake information would be funny. Think about the stuff you've seen online which turned out not to be so real.

Even if the images generated aren't real, the subject of them can't convince the world they're not, and there's no way for them to stop the violation of their self-image.
Something that worked for me is that I have a profile where I am a domain expert who is reasonnably good at data science and software development. I am no rock star in any of the three fields, but this particular combination is pretty rare. I got my last 2 jobs this way: most applications just got lost, or ended in a meh screening interview, but there was this one job posting in the year that required this mix of skills, and I was just the obvious choice and got hired pretty much without competition.

I am not suggesting that you start a PhD in some obscure domain, but any additional skill can help stand appart from all other generalist front end developers. For instance in my last company we did quite a lot with geographical data, and if a front end dev showed even just the slightest knowledge of geodata (like knowing what a map projection is, or a knowledge of the technologies used to display maps efficiently on the web), he would quickly go on top of the pile. So if the is any domain where you know just a bit more than the average guy, even just as a hobby, I would say that it makes sense to display it on your CV and search for postings that might be related.

Defamation, identity theft, abuse of individuals directly by circulating porn of them in their communities. Fake or not, it's very impactful. It's not an ideological issue but a very practical one, it's already causing harm.

You might be thinking of celebrities where the idea that they have done porn is so far fetched that it's obvious it would be fake. But what about minor personalities like youtubers? It could tank a career if it's unclear something is real or not. Just like a false assault allegation, it will still cause a lot if harm even if the truth prevails.

Lastly, on an individual level, people are going to get hurt by sociopaths circling imagery of coworkers or whatever, it's messy human social business and the pragmatic person might imagine the truth is all that matters, but it definitely isn't. You can ruin someone's social life and mental health with mere rumours, let alone what will look like proof of ireputable activity.
I would think that vegans regularly have salad for dinner, no?
> now having been on the other side it is very apparent when someone hasn't prepared and practiced interviewing. It really is a skill in and of itself.

And now that you can recognize that skill in isolation, do you use it as a major factor when choosing candidates? If you do, why?

Do you think the people interviewing you could recognize that you were specifically bad at interviewing, and not at everything?
