I was laid off in August 2022, and it took me 6 months to find a new job. I was able to land a decent number of interviews but I interviewed poorly and didn't get any offers. Doing interview prep actually helped a lot -- 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.

I found my current job through the January HN Who's Hiring post. This company doesn't post anywhere except HN. Would definitely recommend that since the August post is coming out soon! This experience inspired me to build a tool that uses AI to match your resume to the best matching jobs: https://hnresumetojobs.com/

Give it a try, maybe it'll help you! Best of luck, it truly is a grind and is emotionally taxing -- but you WILL find something soon.
I like the idea of ResGen. But I think you should consider changing your pricing.

10 free resumes per month seems too generous. Also, $7 is very low for a paid plan, when your users are likely to churn as soon as they find a job. If this tool is really as valuable for job hunters as it aims to be, they should gladly pay three times that amount.
Goddamn do all the people who comment here work on linux and only through the command line, and have never used a git GUI before? There's barely any proper advice from a windows-gitgui user here.

On windows start with TortoiseGit, if he used TortoiseSVN before he'll get it. Right-clicking on a file/folder will bring up a context menu that windows users will be very familiar with, plus it has labels that even a command line git user would be familiar with. Then teach him commits, pushes and branches (git's underlying mechanics) from there on.

I love team topologies, it's really good. My one problem with it is that it kind of stops at the level of structuring a team and doesn't do much about the higher level of management of the organisation. Which needs a deep look just as much as how you structure your teams and if you have platform teams and whatnot. Hell, you could argue that the main reason why agile failed, was that it never addressed how to challenge and change upper-ish management.

But its understandable, cause that shit is hard, its political, and its difficult with the current feudal entities that companies are

> I am thoroughly disinterested in the unhinged vitriol I see so often from Musk's haters. The incessant lazy discourse about how Twitter is dying, for either technical or other reasons.

> but I personally think he has done more good through his companies than most others with similar resources.

It's always odd to me how people say Musk is doing good though his companies without backing it up while criticizing how people are critical of Musk as if it's unhinged.
as a rule of thumb I ignore all UK agents, they have the attention span of a coked up butterfly. from my experience they try extract as much information out of you (your salary, last company, are they hiring, give me phone number to their manager or hr) and never call even if they scheduled a call. they never update you if the role you applied for have been filled in meantime, you simply get ghosted and your email gets spammed with offers.

I would suggest to email directly to a company hr or apply directly through company's job portal. Apply to companies that don't advertise on linkedin or similar portals. This is how I got essentially all of my jobs and this is how I get leads even now.
I think even at that time not everyone would agree and would have actually called him an idiot...

"Enrico Fermi himself had warned Slotin that he would be “dead within a year” if he continued—but the exigencies of the Second World War had privileged expediency over safety. "

It was irresponsible and kind of reckless.. especially after a similar thing had happened: "Nine months to the day before Slotin’s accident, Daghlian had been working with the very same plutonium core, performing a different criticality experiment that used tungsten-carbide blocks instead of the beryllium tamper.* He dropped one of the blocks, and the core briefly went critical. Daghlian took nearly a month to die."

My standard human behavior might have been proactively that of the guard: "But when the core started to glow and people started yelling, he promptly ran out the door and up a nearby hill. " :D

Why working in crypto exchanges would show poor judgment? There are still technical problems to solve.

I knew a principal engineer who heavily disliked blockchain because it uses a lot of energy for proof of work, but with proof of stake this should be better now.

Shade into a bad definition of "totalitarianism", more like.

> Here I’m using the word “totalitarian” to mean “the government controls every aspect of life”; I use the alternative word “authoritarian” to mean “the government is a dictatorship without checks and balances”. The opposite of “totalitarian” is “libertarian” or just “free”, the opposite of “authoritarian” is “democratic”. I think totalitarianism and authoritarianism are correlated, but represent two different concepts, and that it’s coherent to rate democracies on how totalitarian they are. My ideal form of government would be mostly democratic and mostly not totalitarian, in the sense that the government would control some limited part of life (“the public sphere”), and decide what it did with that part through the democratic process.

How convenient that the writer relegated this precise technical definition of an emotionally-charged word to a footnote, where it's so easily missed. It's almost as if he was setting up a kind of a duplicitous argument where he can always say to be making only a boring, narrow claim (using the technical definition he provided), while simultaneously making a much stronger implicit claim (using the everyday understanding of the word). If only there were a snappy term for this kind of thing…
As someone who used to be part of a platform team, and is now actively working in the same organization to fight the creation of any more platform teams, I very much disagree with the article that this is a good working model.

What we have found is that platform teams are a huge point of frustration for product teams, since they cause unnecessary and unmanageable coupling between different business divisions, leading to impossible to balance priorities. What we've seen happen over and over is that product A needs Feature A, and product B needs Feature B, and they both need it tomorrow, and the platform team only has resources for one. And since Product A and Product B are in different business divisions, you end up needing to involve a senior VP or even an officer to make a prioritization decision for a simple software feature, and everyone gets frustrated by the process.

What we're striving towards instead is an "inner source" model, where a platform is collaboratively developped and maintained by multiple product teams. Each product team is then empowered to build new features as needed into the platform, and others can reuse them.

Of course, the platform needs some architects and overall review, and all teams will not equally participate. But the key point is to encourage this collaboration mode, where no one team is a bottleneck for multiple products.

The inspiration for this structure is obviously the open-source world, where multiple corporations and foundations collaborate on a single code base without needing to rely on a single platform vendor to provide features for them.

The classic problem with PTP is that you need all your network devices to also explicitly support hardware timestamping, or you've just lost the biggest reason to use PTP instead of NTP. That may not be hard to do if you're just running your homelab network, but that gets harder and harder to do as you scale up in size.

The risk here is that there's a bug in kernel that can enable dos / local code execution by the caller. Also like others pointed out - reads can be equally harmful if you read ssh private keys and whatnot.

Bots and scams. Housing, dating, job search - these three have become hopeless "marketplaces", hopefully we are at the tipping point and they will collapse. I compile Latex CV for every job application and make an extra effort to apply directly to the company. Every time they have direct one to one communication with an experienced professional with relevant education, and they... insist on digging into inconsistencies and gaps in the CV, search for fraud on my side, ask for salary upfront (ie. "we want cheap" or they simply probe the market for salaries). The market is bad, you have bad luck, the shit's fucked.

Rising tribalism is very interesting phenomena. I guess it's driven by media rethoric that dictate feelings and it's full of sensations, because apparently it makes more money.

That seems unrealistic unless you're just scattering applicaitons.

By the time you've filtered out suitable jobs, researched the company a little, written a cover letter, customized your CV, gone through their application process/questions, sometimes even a test, you're looking at 3-4 a day quality applications at most.

Apple ‘Punishing’ iPad Pro Buyers with New Pencil Software Lockdown
That's the kind of thinking that leads to “wrongthink” and precisely why we have the bill of rights. If you don't like what is on a platform, then you need to start your own and provide a safe space there. Short of advocating specific violence/treason/threats, you can generally say what you want in America. That's why section 230 is so valuable so that every newly elected party can't just start throwing Facebook employees in jail because they don't like what is being said there. If you don't like Facebook, don't use it; if you don't like twitter: don't use it; if you don't like gab: don't use it.

I don’t know Ruby but I’ve been a huge fan of Lisp macros (Clojure).

As with all abstraction mechanisms, you avoid them until you need them. When you do need them, they become a force multiplier.

A lot of macros can be avoided with data driven programming, which is likely one of the strongest techniques in terms of cost/benefit.

A light form of meta programming is source code generation (often used in tandem with data driven). It lets you have macro-like power, but the guts are spilled out for you to modify further or reason about easily. In some languages it’s the only thing you can do at that abstraction level.

In any case, meta programming is very powerful. But its quality and utility hinges on you to avoid it until you exhaust all of the lower level techniques. Else you end up with the worst kind of wrong abstraction.
In this case it's more like picking up thousand dollar bills then simply stepping off the road.
LinkedIn Coach AI chatbot might be launching to help you apply for jobs
how its suppose to be done and how it worked for me in past in order of the most effective to least:

1. social circle
2. attend conferences, exchange business cards, contact info
3. apply to companies through their own job portal or direct hr email
4. don't go for shiny companies (either location or business must suck, less competition this way)

anything else such as random recruiter agencies, linkedin, job portals is not going to yield any effect in this day and age. there is just too much saturation and bots + we are in a layoff cycle and AI uncertainty.
I think this is only really an option for some sub-spaces of tech.

As someone in a middling HFT shop my linkedin inbox is flooded with recruiter spam. But most of my friends in frontend work don't get any of this.

Subjectively(!) Firefox is cluttered and takes much more space than Chrome for itself. Unfocused tabs are hard for me to make out on Firefox.

I think that personally I'm a lost cause. Either give me Firefox in a Chrome's pelt or I stay with Chrome. And maybe that's good this way: Firefox should just focus on new users and make the best browser for "them".

God I hate the phrase "high performance teams". Its one of those buzzwords, that doesn't have a clear meaning, but most of the time it turns into "people that deliver a lot but also work a lot of overtime at a killer pace". Most organisations don't even have a clear picture of what performance means, so it defaults to deliver more and work more ...
I'd probably take a mix. Those people were probably doing some interesting stuff in those 2 years. Generally among our hires, those applicants have been much more eager to get down to business than the ones that are burned out from working the same job as the one they're applying for at a place they hate that isn't paying them enough.

And before you think you dodged it, I'm still wondering what you're suggestions are.
Sorry, this sounds like serious crackpot territory.

Btw, if your polynomial algorithm for NP is any good, you should be able to break any encryption at all. The problem of breaking cryptographic systems is typically inside of both NP and co-NP. That intersection is suspected to be substantial smaller than NP by itself. (Of course, if it all collapses to P, that wouldn't make a difference.)

There is nothing inclusive about perpetuating gender stereotypes.

Considering housing situation and extortive taxation and various contributions in these countries, the OP might be joking. Salaries there have been stagnant in numbers for at least 5 years.
> No reason to use anything else.

It's not a credit line so it has all the disadvantages of debit cards. It's also fully government controlled which is just stupid especially in a country like Brazil which has a known history of abuse of power with good and bad intentions.

There are numerous reasons to prefer physical cash to all other forms of money but nobody cares because pix is easy and convenient. I bet people will suddenly start caring a lot when they finally start taxing it. By then it will be too late since it will be too entrenched in our society to use anything else.

> Our government is terrible, but our central bank is actually quite competent. Credit to where it's due.

I agree. The cause of the greatness apparently is apparently its autonomous nature. Somehow it manages to avoid answering to the rest of the government. Central bank setting high interest rates despite extreme political pressure is probably the only reason this country is still afloat.
this industry seems to be more and more senseless. or maybe it was a bubble and we're falling back to the norm where enterprises are your enemies..
You are reading things into my comment I didn’t say. I said his programming capability allowed him to create a tool that lets anyone combine data into 3D space which makes it possible to verify hypotheses. Where others in the UFO community wave their hands and make bold claims about something supernatural, West checks if the observed phenomena can be explained in reality-based physical ways. Anyone can check the work he and many others did jointly. The data and simulations are free to download and assess. This process is much closer to science than anything I have seen from others in the UFO community.

If anything, your comment makes the impression of the quintessential HN poster that claims to know better / dismiss others without having checked the linked sources.
Being blind is not the issue. Existing in a society that never really has embraced the fact that some members are incapacitated and would need better support is. I am 43 now, and blind since almost 40 years. And even if you are not going to believe me: blindness is definitely not the issue. When I feel down, it is always because society does not want to accomodate for people with disabilities. And I say want because of the digital divide, and the unwillingness to change things for better accessibility. About 20 years ago, web accessibility felt like "Yes, lets do it!", these days, I read a lot of negative comments on HN which basically boil down to "We already have a small revenue margin, we cant be bothered to basically work for free for these subhumans". I am exaggregating of course, but to tell you the truth, it is just how it feels to someone dependant on society wanting to be inclusive. And I am not talking about individuals. Many individuals will tell you they support better accessibility. But once you go higher up, you realize that is really just an individual thing. Society as a whole does not want to be bothered with having to accomodate for its disabled members. In the past, it was easier to "fix" this: people with disabilities were put in institutions where almost nobody could see them. These days, with all that pesky independence, it is becoming harder to look away. But still, a solution is not in sighted. In fact, the situation is slowly worsening. Many 40+ blind people I know had to actually quit their job early, because shiny new interfaces were quicker then any accessibility could be. And suddenly, you wake up in the morning and realize that you are totally useless at work from now on. A very nice feeling. I know people who fell into depression. Imagine, you've worked for 20 years, and suddenly, you are useless because "innovation".

If you just need to pass data around in something more rigid than a hash, you can use a struct:

What's bad about it? I don't mind the heat. And it's nice that the growing season is getting longer, the earth is greening and we're getting bumper crop yields. I'd be a lot more depressed in 50 or a hundred years or so when the cooling kicks in.
Interesting, I had many friends who got more positive and playful after they got older, got married and stopped giving a fuck how they interact with others. As I can see now it’s the older cohort that wants to socialize at the office not the young folks.

This is good insight and matches with my experience. As a product-focused engineer/manager, it’s too often I’ve found my teams giving up and taking into our own hands what “should be” owned by platform teams, while they work on things nobody seems to see value in.
I agree. I don't think they can abandon the Android ecosystem at all, I mean all the apps and the store, that's the real value. They could design a migration path for the apps and make them work seamlessly on Fuchsia in the meantime, gradually replacing the ecosystem with the promise of new "shiny" features for developers. Building an OS from scratch is very expensive in terms of resources and money. I cannot see a valid technical reason for this move. My view is that many projects are now using AOSP to build their own operating system and trying to get rid of Google services, which is a threat to Google and its business based on bombarding the user with ads. The biggest obstacle at the moment is getting the applications that rely on Google services to work. e/OS/ uses MicroG and in my personal experience everything works seamlessly, including banking applications. The other crucial aspect is the availability of stores for the apps. Aurora is just an alternative front-end client to Google PlayStore, but it is a huge step forward in removing direct dependency. e/OS/ has AppLounge which does the same thing.
I'd certainly prefer to download and install my bank's app directly from a protected area of the bank's website rather than from a generic store. Implementing a custom authentication mechanism (e.g. signed with GPG) and an auto-update feature is certainly doable.
