Ask HN: Where are the software jobs now?
As far as I've seen, even with people I know, software jobs are really falling by the wayside. Go on /r/forhire, /r/slavelabour and there are quite literally 10-1 software devs with 5-10 years experience looking for work and even heavily underselling themselves. Yeah many of these are overseas, but still. I've seen in threads here corroborated that there is slim pickings for software engineers.

What technologies and domains are actually looking for help right now?

It seems like everyone is a fullstack developer well-versed in React and cloud technologies so those positions are 100 applications minimum.

I have ~10 years experience, mostly in older technologies but I'm quite skilled at problem solving in general. It seems I have to pivot, and I'm not sure what to pivot to in order to have a good fishing line. Googling this has mixed results, and a lot of those aggregate sites as far as I understand the positions are literally just not being filled. So it ends up not really being an accurate representation of what is actually needed.

Any thoughts on this? Do you think we're entering the AI and foreign cheap labor death spiral of tech jobs and things are just going to get really awful?
Right, and a good project manager should mandate microdosing.
Your boss is a loser. Just accept the fact you are working for a two faced person. Keep up the good work, don’t do any more than you have too. Look for a different job that will appreciate you.
I'm a little confused by your description – it doesn't seem like a tirade at all (and indeed "colonial" is the interviewer's phrase), or even a judgment on anything: more like a sober conversation about the history of mathematics, the introduction of proof, the role of the Western tradition, and what "mathematical thought" has looked like elsewhere.

I might suggest we're seeing the word "colonialism" and jumping to assumptions.

I think there's a quote that illustrates her argument more accurately:

We might marvel at, say, Amish people raising a barn or Inuit people building a kayak without any European formal maths training. We might declare that this is maths — and I think it is. But it’s problematic if we think we’re doing them some great honour by bestowing the label of maths on what they do.
Fees too hard to list? Then don’t have that many to begin with! Are you a big company doing serious business, or some puling child?
As someone with formal education in both literature (including lots of analytical essay writing ) and computer science, this resonates strongly with me and is a great addition to my toolbox for thinking about code.

I'm wondering how useful it would be to deploy among my colleagues who don't have similar backgrounds.

Have you tried that?

Oh no you don't. Waymo describes it's tech as Level 4 automation. That is an explicit statement that it underperforms human capabilities and has only been greenlit for -very- limited areas and conditions. Industry reports on the subject suggest Level 5 autonomy won't be possible for at least the next 12 years, which is synonymous with saying the industry currently has no idea how to get there.
Completely missed it, thanks!
Never saw one of these, not sure how they competed but Palm Pilot was much more successful where I was.

The modern equivalent feels to me to be e-ink devices, it still saddens me to no end that apple managed to kill the e-ink market completely with the ipad. It is finally gaining some traction though.

It tries to destroy incentives for these behaviors before they happen. You have to address that on case-by-case basis. A lot of acts we consider harmful stem from bad material situation, which is an inherent part of this system. System needs people in very bad situation to be willing to do the worst jobs. And anarchists overall think that you should put more action towards HELPING a person that got harmed than only punishing a persecutor of harmful act.
Yes, this is how 'upstanding members of society' get their opiates and amphetamines. It's also why drug testing isn't part of the job application process for Party members (see Orwell).
Barely powerful in early mid-90's. From 1996 an the multimedia PC and a bit later witht the Pentium MMX, the power gap from a 286 based DOS PC from 1991 was something else.

Yeah, you’re totally right. I actually wrote a follow up essay about that:

I think the conversations were partly (largely?) a snapshot in time. I was talking to people in February/March, and all of this was much less thought through at the time. But you’re totally right. You want something like Llama, where you train a smaller model longer than Chinchilla would predict.
Dormant, or stable?

I've been running a tinc mesh network for eons w/ my systems and it's never given me any trouble. I use git to check in the 'hosts/' folder and add/remove hosts as needed, pull down to all the nodes, and they can all connect.

I do wish the encryption + transport could be as performant as wireguard, but for my needs, I haven't been pushing it hard enough that it's a concern for me.
Isn't the interaction between the laser toner cartridge and drum completely electrostatic? I thought the toner just gets pulled out of the cartridge via static electricity?

The Battle of Cajamarca [1], where the Incan Emperor was captured, had the emperor arrive with a retinue of some 7000+ experienced soldiers who were armed with weapons such as knives, axes, and lassos. His advisers had already advised him that the Spanish were low in number, probably human, and recommended killing them. The Incan recounting of the battle states that the Spanish attacked after the Emperor threatened to kill them. The slaves the Emperor had around him were the ones who stood impassively as the Spanish butchered them, but that happened after the 'army' of 168 Spaniards had already managed to route the army of 7000+ warriors around the emperor, suffering a total of one injury in the process.

In modern times you're conflating conventional warfare with insurgent warfare, which are very different. Conventional warfare is largely defined by sizable groups organizing and intentionally making the presence known in a limited region, setting the stage for 'normal' engagements. So for instance Iraq quickly turned into an insurgency but the Second Battle of Falluja was one of the few conventional encounters. Several thousand disorganized insurgents with limited arms and equipment decided to stick around and engage a modern military, multiple times their size, head on. They were obviously, and knowingly, signing on for a one way trip to Allah. That said, even there a heavily outnumbered, out-gunned, and out-teched rabble suicidally engaging in conventional warfare managed to inflict hundreds of casualties - about 5% of the military force.

Imagine a similar scenario in times past where you had a rabble of 4000 peasants equipped with whatever instruments they could manage, against 13,000+ armed and armed soldiers with cavalry and archery support. It's highly unlikely that the army would suffer a single casualty, let alone death.

A whole lot of people who were born deaf can't read English well.

But even if all participants in a conversation can read and write English, when your native language is some kind of sign language, writing in English is akin to speaking a second language would be for an English-speaker. Possible, but not nearly as convenient as using your native language.

Linux adventure? Ever heard of PCGaming Wiki and running DX7-9 era games today? That's a clusterfuck of wrappers. Heck, Direct Draw games run dog-slow under Windows > 7 unless you use a DDraw->OpenGL wrapper from WineD3D for Windows and hex-edit the DDL's to avoid name clashes.

Pedo comment was the moment that sealed it for me.

The projection involved in NPD...along with the wealth...casually tossing that accusation. It makes me sick.

Note: I realize NPD is tossed about too frequently but anyone that has had the misfortune of ending up in a long term relationship with a narcassist can spot them.
I got a job...but quit five years later because I hated it. In fact, I am happy I spent 11 years post-graduate because I didn't have to waste my life participating in a sick corporate world and working. Now I'm working to be independent and without those 11 years getting used to not working in the traditional way, I would not have the general intuition to break off from the system.

1200 pages? Do you really read this straight through or just refer to it? That is over whelming to me at least.
For me it's safety (each problem solved gets applied to others, but it could be more profound than that, like chess AIs) and potential to decide on the fly whether to have something similar to a rental car or a much lower rate. For instance maybe I could know a car would be waiting for me and leave my backpack behind while I go on a hike. Plus environmental and city planning hopes.

When I read on remarkable.com the following

"An eye-friendly reading experience

Comfortably read PDFs or ebooks for hours on end without backlight, glare, or eye strain."

I naively assumed it handles reading without eyestrain and thought this admittedly secondary functionality of the product, combined with its larger form factor is actually of primary interest to me and the note taking might turn out to be a nice to have (which it hasn't because I would be taking notes on stuff I read for later articles but no, I can't really use it for reading)

Also if lots of people, customers even, are complaining about a secondary aspect of a product not being good enough that would indicate a possible area of improvement.
They do highlight that they use kernel space Wireguard as opposed to Tailscale which uses user space Wireguard.

I've talked about this in a replay to another comment, but I don't think she's making any value judgment in the article, or (at least in the article) actually articulating any claim about colonialism and mathematics. In fact, I don't even think she's saying "Europeans bad":

We might marvel at, say, Amish people raising a barn or Inuit people building a kayak without any European formal maths training. We might declare that this is maths — and I think it is. But it’s problematic if we think we’re doing them some great honour by bestowing the label of maths on what they do.
> Agile is a mindset, not a strict process, and it was originally developed by engineers for engineers. The fact that you're even bringing "Project Managers" into the discussion is telling,

I think true Agile and agile organization are big foot that common people like me have never seen. Only enlightened Agilist understand the meaning of:

Agile is Nothing, Nothing is Agile. If scrum is not enough have scrum of scrums if scrum of scrum is not enough have scrum of scrum of scrums (duh).
What was interesting to me about that paper is that Sir Alexander Crichton noted that people who were born with it generally grew out of it. The authors note that this belief was generally held into the 1990s, followed with a note that recent studies show 50% growing out of it.

I do wonder if the nature of our modern lives- less physical activity, fewer working hours, with more 'mind' or white-collar jobs- has made us as a society less resilient to attention disorders like ADD or ADHD.

It's possible that, given the lack of extensive recorded research into it at the time, we don't know that these kids who were observed as having grown out of it were properly accounted for. A poor sample could easily make 50% seem like "most" after all.

Even so, it is worth wondering if non-pharmacological therapeutic treatment might be worth emphasizing more heavily. I don't know what it's like for kids in college now, but I recall meds like Adderall prescriptions being surprisingly common, and that it was being abused was something of an open secret.
>I get that historically sprints were adopted as a way to do incremental, fast-feedback delivery as an alternative to “deliver at the end” project styles, and as an alternative to that, they seem to make sense.

The root of most of what we call 'Agile' today goes back to a method for managing difficult clients when doing (primarily web development) consulting.

If you're not a consultant or you're not trying to defensively manage a difficult client then it's a poor set of processes for your development work to follow.

A pain point I still haven't resolved with WG is this. From my phone, I want to access my homelab through the WG server at home, but everything else through an external WG VPN somewhere else. My homelab ip range is 10.10.0.0/24 or whatever, but the external VPN is some other range. Wireguard doesn't seem to like this. The alternative is to route my phone to home for 100% of traffic, and my home router would egress through the external VPN. But I don't want my home network to be the bottleneck, I don't exactly have the best Internet service at home. From a cursory search through NetMaker docs, I didn't see anything that explicitly shows how to configure vpns, or, I don't know what to call it, bridging multiple wireguard networks.
I actually do think it’s possible and easy to fix. We are few propositions away from forcing it everywhere in the country.
It's a well-known post-operation side effect that affects a few people transiently.

Maybe it's my fault for not being specific but in context, I was talking about long-term, possibly irreversible complications. While what you point out exists (every psychoactive drug has undesirable side-effects in general, even coffee can be dangerous), it is incomparable to the rate of occurences of side-effects such as tardive dyskinesia for neuroleptics for instance.

That's why I also added "in general" ...

I think that any war starts when the demands of one side are considered as "non-starters" to the other side. If that was not the case, there simply would be no war.
It's a very large company. Each org/vertical might as well be it's own company, and it was just that disconnected and isolated from each other.

There are entire teams maintaining ancient products that I've never heard of and there are teams working on cutting edge stuff in their vertical or industry.

Culture similarly varied widely between orgs. I moved from a very chill team to one in azure. It was the same as moving to a different industry altogether

How can I connect my Android or IOS device to my Netmaker VPN?
Currently meshing one of these devices is not supported, however, it will be soon. For now, you can connect to your VPN by making one of the nodes an Ingress Gateway, then create an Ext Client for each device. Finally, use the official WG app or another WG configuration app to connect via QR or download the device’s WireGuard configuration.

So no mobile for now.
They seem to have closed borders which is not typically considered anarchists indeed. About assemblies - that's fine, anarchists postulate freedom of association so you don't have to let random people from outside inside your structures, still they seem to be some inspiration to the rest of residents of Chiapas and in practice there is nothing that could stop them from fighting for their self-determination too.
Why does Excel autoformat data from a CSV? what is the rationale behind this? How hard it is to have an option that says "open with no formatting"?
No, the majority of people understand hate is bad. It's an innate understanding, not a taught thing. Everyone understands that the experience of hate is bad because, as you said, everyone goes through it. People go back to it because disgust and anger are addictive. The stories they tell afterwards are the rationalizations of an addict.

It seems like you really intensely agree with me on the experiencing-hate-as-truth thing. So I will just leave that there.

You hate those groups you are assigning me to, or else you wouldn't be using them as an insult. Like you said, you don't know me. Your insults reveal only information about you.

What I'm getting from this: use plainer language. Thanks for the reminder.

To be clear, I was trying to say with the first part that loaning money, instead of giving it, is oppressive. Also, myself and some friends would love the gift of a zine or funny comic about dismantling systems of oppression. It'd be pretty in-character for me to give or receive it. I also don't claim ownership over things, though, so shrug

And by "systems of oppression," I mean organizations/cultures that harm through keeping people from getting what they need or making it way harder for some than others. Debt is one such system. Same for nonvoluntary governments. Caste systems. Just as some examples.
Just adding an obvious corollary regarding parallelization, to "leverage computation" and "massive computation became available and a means was found to put it to good use":

Parallelizable methods win (e.g. DL), by using the computation available

Further: progress will occur on real-world problems that can be solved by those methods, making those applications dominant throughout society. (i.e. everything looks like a nail to someone with a hammer... but if it's a really good hammer, that may be the best approach)
Probably because they want people to buy the W/MI series cards instead.

Though looking around you can get an MI60 on ebay for $500, seems really good for 32gb and still seems to be supported by rocm (as it's just an MI50 with more hbm). Looks to be the cheapest way of getting a GPU with that region of memory support, though things like FP16 speed and BF support suffers compared to later generations. Though from what I've seen most "home" ML tasks are often memory limited pretty hard before ALU limitations kick in. And no idea if a home user would be able to use the IF links either for helping multi-gpu either.
In my town now house prices are through the roof and the rental market is completely impacted.

Based on your previous jobs, you did well. I presume you were suitably paid as well. So based on that you can safely assume that you're doing Ok.

From your description, it appears that you are currently working in a toxic environment. They haven't promoted you nor have they increased your pay. In other words you have kept your end of the bargain and they haven't. So the obvious decision is to move on.

When in a toxic environment with incompetent management, you simply cannot master and overcome the situation. It is not for you to de-tox your workplace.
Other than the privacy angle a meta redirect is always a bit slower than a location header. You need to send an html page (more bytes) that the browser needs to render and then act on (more work).

A location header is nearly unnoticeable, a meta refresh page gives you a flash of a blank interstitial screen.

(Not that I had the same annoyance, just explaining the difference to the end user of the two approaches)
I've been using Netmaker for a few months now and it is incredible. Bastion VPN management for all our enviornments.
