I applied to indeed.com once, and it was the most demoralizing experience of my life.

I'm a fairly accomplished sr. software developer; my last official title was "sr software scientist".

I've worked on internationally famous software research projects, worked on the original tech for CD-ROMs at Philips, was on the OS teams of both the 3D0 and the original PlayStation (where I wrote the video subsystems), was lead or team member on several high profile EA Sports titles, was on the team that created the first Internet live video infrastructure, produced a live talk show, worked in VFX across the roles of developer, artist & financial analyst on 9 major release feature films, I've written and acquired a global patent in VFX technology, and was lead developer for one of the leading facial recognition systems now in a high percentage of the world's airports. I'm accomplished...

And what happened with my application at Indeed? The recruiter and I spoke for nearly an hour, when she asks "are you even a programmer? I've not heard you mention writing code once." Um... that was all I was talking about, and she did not understand a single bit, nor had the communication skills to ask for clarification at any point during that initial hour. WTF?!?!
Because most people don't need a reason to. Why would they switch to alpine?
Apocalypses are like idiots. As soon as you make something idiot proof, the world tosses a bigger idiot at it.
Yeah, I totally agree. Computers for a long time were not a communications device the way they are today. You could buy a modem and use it communicate, but that was a distinct activity and once exited the terminal program you were once again by yourself.

Now, the communications function is this always on thing that never goes away. It's interwoven with every other activity you do. That makes the whole experience much different.
What do “rights” have to do with the question? What a weird strawman.

You don’t, generally, have a “right” to not be annoyed by protestors, if that’s really the road you want to go down, here.
v1 you would not attempt to be the be-all-end-all. Target iOS and Android since those are core Unity markets and throw on PC+Switch as the secondaries.

$30mm is more than enough when you ditch legacy stuff like anything that isn't a Vulkan/DX11/Metal renderer.
You're old like me then. I actually have their printed book "How to Make a Fortune on the Information Superhighway" on how to "advertise" in the Internet. I put that in quotes, because their methods were absolutely literally spam.

Having said that, they must have been right, because spam has never dwindled away like Usenet News did. That may very well have been their fault, too.
I found my current role by posting on the open to work thread in July. Early days, but so far it's among my favorite positions ever. I don't know what the answer is here, but I'm glad for HN.
I really want to live in a world where doing what's good for the Earth and the people around you is not only the natural response to a problem, but something that is rewarded in a meaningful way.

Unsung heroes definitely have shaped this world, occupying roles which we will probably never grasp of because how history is practically taught and understood; under the lens of territory and its resulting disputes, changes in leadership or public consciousness, and our academic/practical understanding of the world/technology.

As a world, we should learn about the incredible struggles these people went through to effect change in the climate that they lived in. But we largely do not - because the entire truth is usually inconvenient to those in power, who desperately resist change and the resulting uncertainty, because of all of the potential fallout that comes with increased knowledge of the workings of the world and agency of those they deem below them. Real change is generally only allowed by those in power if it is on their terms and initiative.

There is not a more dire time than today for mounting, as a world, an immediate and potent response to the climate crisis. As a society, no matter your class, no matter where you live, bridging all gaps and divisions. We need to be talking about it; we need to relentlessly speak publicly about manifesting real change and giving power and agency to those who are not greedy, who are not bloodthirsty, to those who deserve it, to people that are actual experts and students of the world - who never abuse their authority and belittle their fellow man, because the focus of their leadership should not be on currency or control, but true, democratically decided-purpose and their role as leaders to provide informed support and passion to the people around them.

We need to collectively envision a fair, exciting economy (and economy of scale) that works for the world and our individual communities. Life should be stimulating now - we shouldn't work as hard or long, we should work to serve the people we touch and to reap every bit of the value that we create ethically and morally. Sustainable and ethical travel should be accessible to everybody - let us celebrate the world around us freely. And through our travels, improve and enrich the world that surrounds us. End the rat race, the race to the bottom or top, the race to the end of civilization, and begin rejoicing that we are post-scarcity, that we are at peace, that we have an understanding of the greatness that we can achieve like never before.

I want and we deserve a constant news cycle where we talk about how we're planning/implementing incredible feats, witnessing and celebrating cooperation that is unlike anything we've ever seen, efforts like solving the energy crisis by effectively allocating resources and utilizing the earth and sun and everything in between better and more intelligently than ever for our collective benefit.
I have NEVER met a recruiter that seemed technically savvy at even the most minimal level. That's kind of astounding.
I wonder how much of this has to do with learning the second language when you're older and more mature? You end up without the childhood emotional baggage or subtle misunderstandings that come with learning at a young age.
It’s more than three years because it’s tax free (no sense in paying tax on money from the government), so more like 4 years.

4 years salary without having to work a day is an incredible deal
Why would any hiring manager care whether a CV is AI generated? As long as the CV is accurate, the tool used to write it is irrelevant.
Proprietary ISA with open peripherals would be FAR better than other way around. Frankly the ISA part is easiest to change from OS kernel perspective.

If "open" ISA comes with a bunch of blobs it's essentially exactly same situation as using ARM chip.
The last time I was looking for a job was before the pandemic. I used Craigslist like I had since 1999 or so.

I glanced at it the other day and... it was just basically not there. Three programming jobs posted in the DC/NoVa area. How did that site manage to die, particularly if this is the alternative?
Great material, thanks for the reference!
Are they actually good though? (the ATS systems) I've only recently learned how important they are in general and I'm not familiar with their capabilities.

I would think that even with OCR, this resume might be confusing because the years and contact information and stuff is kinda spread around.

If someone has has good insight how well/not well they work, I would appreciate if you commented about it.
> It is clear who is guilty. The Ukrainian side strived for this.

> You know, I won't say 100 percent things right now that I'm not sure about. By and large, we did not record any large explosions before the destruction occurred. In any case, that's what they reported to me. But they purposefully hit the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station repeatedly with HIMARS - that’s what it’s all about. Maybe they had some kind of backfill there, I don’t know now, maybe they once again added something insignificant, and destruction began.

> But as we understand, we are definitely not interested in this, because these will have dire consequences for those territories that we control and which are Russian. This is the first.

> And the second. Unfortunately, I’ll say a strange thing, but nevertheless, unfortunately, this thwarted their counteroffensive in this direction. Unfortunately - why? Because it would be better if they attacked there. It’s better for us, because it would be very bad for them to attack there. But since such a spill occurred, then, accordingly, the offensive did not take place.

> The Ministry of Emergency Situations and the military are working actively there, as well as local authorities. All people will be provided with assistance in accordance with Russian legislation and standards.

"You can say anything you want as long as it doesn't break the law" is rather weak standard for free speech, in fact it makes the mockery of the concept. By this token, Soviet Union and North Korea also have free speech: criticizing the Juche is an illegal "hate speech" after all.

That's been my experience of ~20 years also, you don't always get to pick the recruiter. "Oh twenty years of Java, you'll be perfect for this Android position! Or this React one! Its more of a script role though!" Sounds unfortunately accurate.

Given the impact on the surrounding areas (including a speed limit to "improve air quality" because that'll make a huge difference..), and the general film of black dust on everything in the locality, it really is worth £3500 per person in port Talbot (140,000 population as per Wikipedia) to improve their lives for years to come.
They'd use it a lot more if they were regularly downloading 40GB+ games to it. One of the biggest criticisms of the $300 Xbox Series S is that it only has ~350 GB free to the user. And while RE4 Remake is 40GB it is no where near the biggest. Mortal Kombat 1 is 100GB, Starfield is 100+ GB, Baldur's Gate 3 is 100GB+.
From Britannica:

> Meteors are the result of the high-velocity collision of meteoroids with Earth’s atmosphere. A typical visible meteor is produced by an object the size of a grain of sand and may start at altitudes of 100 km (60 miles) or higher. Meteoroids smaller than about 500 micrometres (μm; 0.02 inch) across are too faint to be seen with the naked eye but are observable with binoculars and telescopes; they can also be detected by radar. Brighter meteors—ranging in brilliance from that of Venus to greater than that of the full Moon—are less common but are not really unusual; these are produced by meteoroids with masses ranging from several grams up to about one ton (centimetre- to metre-sized objects, respectively).

I think if you consider light pollution around populated areas and the fact that most people don't spend much time looking at the sky carefully, most of the shooting stars actually noticed by most people are larger than sand, probably more like tiny gravel than sand.
if that part could be replaced with any third party server it would be a tracker in BitTorrent analogy.
Skimmed it. Weird read. I'll come back for a proper read later. Intriguing.

Nummulites are (were? Thought they were extinct?) single celled : "A nummulite is a large lenticular fossil, characterised by its numerous coils,[1] subdivided by septa into chambers. They are the shells of the fossil and present-day marine protozoan Nummulites, a type of foraminiferan. Nummulites commonly vary in diameter from 1.3 cm (0.5 inches) to 5 cm (2 inches)[2] ... Fossils up to six inches wide are found in the Middle Eocene rocks of Turkey"

Bad analogy. If you remove your game from any store, and you are not making more than 200k (free license) or 1M (for pro/enterprise license) last year, then you are fine. Nothing will be charged from you. If you released the game, did't update it, no bug fixes, nothing, but still profiting from it, and people still downloading it, then you will pay the 0.20 cents per install... It is just like that. People are jumping in a drama, that affect only huge mobile games, which are full with ads, addictive, that through Gamification try to earn screen time from the users.. Unity is greedy, but mostly the devs being affected by that, aren't those writing indie games.
When I was applying, I had a situation where sometimes the ATS system would show me as Geoff and other times as Geo, with no clue why.

Obviously, that's not a fatal issue, but it was indicative of other problems with my résumé, and I saw those in the auto-generated job histories.

Pixelmator Pro just released a feature where it can open PDFs to show you the internal structure. I opened my résumé and sure enough "Geoff" is in two text boxes, despite being a single chunk of text in the source document. :-/

It's just like with the little green men who invaded Crimea:

2014: "It isn't us, you can go to the store and buy any uniforms."

2015: "That’s why I gave orders to the Defense Ministry -- why hide it? -- to deploy special forces of the GRU as well as marines and commandos there under the guise of reinforcing security for our military facilities in Crimea."

2023: “I want to point out and I want everyone to know about it: The maintenance of the entire Wagner Group was fully provided for by the state.”
"So if I were to reinvent a programming language for the 21st century,

I would reinvent being responsible instead.

I would reinvent learning your tools;

I would reinvent being attentive to essential details and

being merciless to
accidental complexity.

Unlike the languages that come and go with fashion, the
things that matter do deserve constant reinvention."

The article was very short and very vague. "2k environmental activists killed in the last decade." Top comment? Spurred a debate about ONE cop shot in Georgia.

Most people on this site believe in technological solutionism as savior, therefore climate activists are being annoying over a problem that scientists are totally going to solve any day now and we won't need to adjust our lifestyles even one little bit, so they should just F off. (And I bet quite a few of the people on this site work in adtech, too, and feel entitled to people's attention - funny how that works.)

> Internally google groups are the easiest way to create adhoc project groups..like vim/emacs user groups

I have trouble imagining what a vim/emacs user group would be: either some sort of nonstop abusive flamewar or some kind of kumbaya group you can only join if you can prove you're on a dangerously high dose of lithium.
(For the situation here, "Ayurvedic Medicines" can be read as "Herbal Supplements, Traditional Indian". The article notes that hazardous arsenic and mercury levels also seem to be common in Ayurvedic supplements purchased in the U.S. and Canada.)

I agree it could be torture for all sorts of creatures, including small humans.

But whether anything is bothered by the sound depends on the energy level and other characteristics. Spread spectrum ultrasound sonar below the local noise floor may be technically feasible, though perhaps not with regular laptop speakers and audio circuitry.

I could be wrong, but it seems like recruiters in Europe are "better" (I'm not sure, but maybe more strategic and less used-car-salesman; or the whole recruiting system is more structured). The ones in the US are mostly terrible.

It's hard to envision such a drastic (and labor friendly) change passing in a climate where the much milder PRO Act couldn't get passed when an allegedly labor friendly party and leader controlled both houses and the presidency.

The path to winning such changes - whether through changing the law with the political process or simply forcing employers to bargain with industry wide strikes - requires much more powerful labor movement. The path to that is simply to build whatever power is possible. Right now the labor movement just trying to get organizing and union membership on the upswing, and I think that's the necessary step from where we are today.
Is their evidence that Indeed is posting scraped jobs from other services?

The reason this doesn't make sense is as an employer, we found that Indeed produced the highest number of candidates but cost like $400 per listing. We would first post somewhere cheaper and then post on Indeed if we couldn't find a qualified applicant.

We would have loved to post somewhere else for less money and have it be scraped and listed on Indeed for free. It's difficult to believe that their listings are being scraped from somewhere else as the actually customer is the job poster not the applicant.
Totally, it uses the materials in a much more efficient way, we can get way more turbines per unit of steel, etc.
Marrying someone, espousing someone, is among other things having/building a common perspective of the world, and of how you want to grow old in it.

If, before getting together, your political views are hard to reconcile enough, it’s highly likely your other views are such as well.
The way I saw it work: A part for a car is prototyped. The prototype is tested and it comes out that it can last 30 years. But bussiness said it only needs to last 15 years (user use stats, the law). Prototype is redesigned so that it is weaker and also cheaper (often time not by much).

So we have this problem because companies have test equipment that can tell them exactlly how long a product will last. Initially it was used to prevent bad products, now it is also used to prevent products that are too good.

It's a balance. If you get too specific then your laws quickly become outdated as technology and society evolve. Or you miss corner cases by not enumerating every little scenario.

So there are different tiers to deal with this.

- Constitution - Very abstract and very rarely changed.

- Statute - Sometimes abstract, sometimes specific.

- Administrative rules. Very technical but still intended for broad application.

- Individual court cases. Can be hyper specific.
> they form group chats centered around trips that only one participant was on

It never occurred to me until now, but there's actually a somewhat-coherent "sharing philosophy" woven through many of Apple's products. It seems like Apple envisions a world where social networks and "broadcast"-sharing of content don't exist. In this world, when people want to "tell people" an update about their life, they share that update on a whitelist basis — first meticulously considering exactly the people they want to receive the update, and then pushing the shared item directly into those people's faces as a realtime push-notification-generating event, as if with the intent of starting a synchronous conversation. They may then later rope a few more people into the conversation, as they become relevant — but only on a strictly need-to-know basis. Doing this pings them as well, showing them the whole conversation so far — and they're expected to read back and keep up.

In other words, in "Dimension Apple", nobody has a parasocial desire for people they don't know to see their posts. People only share things with people they know; and even then, only certain friends get to see certain things. And those friends don't mind at all that you had a long conversation that you excluded them from, until you didn't.

Even more intriguingly, in "Dimension Apple", people seemingly only find out news about you because you've shared that news directly with them. No "following" someone; no copying messages from one conversation to another; no gossip, even.

I would say that real people don't work like this... but now that I think of it, I'm pretty sure that this is exactly how people in the upper class — people for whom "discretion" is core to their lifestyle — would prefer all their "sharing" be done.
I agree there has been a style shift, I don't think writing has gotten any less informative. I personally don't like formal writing, but either way it has no bearing on whether or not ideas can be gotten across effectively. Substance over style!

I don't know your experience, but mine is what I stated and I have been through two on-prem to cloud migration, one done with outside help and one without, one at Fortune 500 company with fairly, not Google scale, but large setup. General theme was that if can't get your things straight on-prem, you surely won't be able to manage cloud as it adds additional level of complexity on top of your usual setup.
Meh, the hole is tiny. Most people are still going to X/Twitter. Journalists are addicted to it still. Sports and media personalities aren't moving.

Only a tiny fringe amount of tech needs and political activists care.

They wrote "moderating them within reason", sounds more like taxes to me.

What if gas taxes were higher in the US (maybe a bit proportional to income?), and after 20 years there were instead lots of subways, and streets were bike and pedestrian friendly ... (like here where I live)
I'm unsure if saying they're incompetent is the right thing.
They just have a different priorities than you do.

If jobs are lost and industries move to regions with less environmental protection regulations, can you not imagine how these policies will have the opposite impact as intended ?
