I’m not sure if Indeed scrapes other job boards, but they (we?) do show jobs scraped from employer sites. They’re called indexed jobs, whereas jobs posted directly to Indeed are called Hosted jobs.

> The separation will very clearly be “legacy devs” vs “AI-powered devs”

I don't think there will be many people not using AI, if at all. Just like everyone learned to use Google and Stackoverflow, everyone will learn to prompt a chatbot. And since it's not really rocket science prompting a chatbot, we might see programming becoming a cheap commodity (and after that - pretty much most knowledge work)
Why not just wait for OP’s response?
I was running the engineering team for an online virtual events company. Afterward, I quit and tried to freelance for a year (generally a pain in the butt unless you have a clear plan). Here's what I did:

1. Get REALLY specific around a skill and a VERTICAL. "TypeScript React Developer" is way too broad. I reworded my resume to be about WebRTC and video precisely and targeted a WebRTC SaaS company. The company I applied for wanted my previous company as a customer so it was a huge help. The job's all about being really great at something REALLY REALLY REALLY narrow in scope because, at the end of the day, you're helping customers understand just one set of APIs.

2. On the resume and cover letter (actually write a cover letter) focus on the people side. Stories about dealing with conflict, and shipping projects across the finish line, help a lot here. Remember, this is a customer-facing role, so the interview isn't coding-focused. They need someone who's friendly and professional and who can smile at a customer even if they're upset.

3. Nail the basics in the interview. Wear a dress shirt on the video call. Have your 5-minute "tell me about yourself" story rehearsed. Have answers for basic behavioral questions prepared. In my experience, I was usually given a paid or unpaid take-home test. Technical-wise, they were all much easier.

4. Focusing on a vertical is important because they'll want to hear stories about how you solved problems in that vertical. They could be technically "simple" problems. E.g. my present company loved that I ran an engineering team at a virtual events company because many of their customers were engineering managers at virtual events companies. I knew exactly how their customers felt because I had been in their shoes before.

If all of these sound "obvious," then you're in luck, you probably have the right personality for this gig. :-) The tricky part is finding the opportunity. Remember when you first graduated and had difficulty finding that first tech job? It's a similar feeling. Ideally, if you have a relationship with a vendor you've worked with in the past that's the best way in. Ask for referrals in your network. Send applications out. Do not expect any recruiters to reach out to you directly for a role like this.

When I did find the opportunity it took about three months to close the interview. So, don't be in a rush!
I mean, that's nice to think about, but are you going to spin up a service that's v6 only?

I sure as hell wouldn't want to be the canary in that coalmine...
No, not at all, the folklore story doesn't even address Apple's strategy. Their developer relations were "Apply Here" back then. Macintosh shipped with zero developer tooling, not C/C++, not Pascal, not BASIC.

And, we have no idea what Donn's BASIC was actually like ... it probably wasn't "Visual Basic", or even a platform. Just better than Microsoft's halfazz port of their micro basic. (which did have some quickdraw commands.)
Yeah, that was the conclusion I reached as well. I might not have made it clear
Is it possible to take something like a CMP 170HX and do board-level work to add more memory chips? Or are they not connected to silicon?
I was reading about this last week and the thing that struck me is that every experiment was "plants respond more to <musical genre> than <other musical genre>", or male voices vs female voices or swearing vs compliments.

It's total pseudoscience designed to generate comedy science articles and press releases.

If anyone actually cared about this they'd be playing sine waves and white noise at various frequencies and amplitudes. You'd see a graph of growth vs frequency or whatever.

I couldn't find anything like that though. Does this article have it (can't read due to paywall).
Thanks for pointing this out.
In the olden days it used to be fairly common to use eeproms (or just proms) with a few latches as a state machine. This way it was possible to accomplish many of the things you'd need a CPU for, but without needing one at all.

It's not too far to add an ALU and some control flow after that, hehe.

Taking national wealth or GDP and implying it's shared equally amongst its citizens would be an absurdly disingenuous argument.

Honestly I do not understand why HA devs choose such absurd deploys, ok, they need to get some money, but HA is a monster due to it's design, a hell of YAML, a hell of dependencies and so on. Pretend that one need a pre-built OS to put more monsters in the game is frankly ridiculous. Curate a simpler pip install and offer small homeservers eventually, but reasonably specced to be a home server, not just the bare minimum to run slowly would be much more reasonable.

If people really want useful IoT at home reliability is needed, playing with devices stacked one on another, usb toys and so on is a good recipe to made an unmaintainable pile of modern crap, unupgrade-able, unreliable crap. And HA is the less crappy in the game.
When you submit a text document, the text should actually be text. This is the most basic step.

"othering" at social level probably exists, but you are mixing up culture and ethnicity, there is division and kind of caste system within "homogenous" Japan too, see burakumin issue for eg.

so legally for a foreigner the policy seems reasonable, just there is a lot of FUD spread by people who felt entitled to become Japanese with little effort and suffered reality check, see eg. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Yj855k5066o

Who cares what people said? They are obviously wrong because they argued from false premises. Uber succeeded because they made hailing a ride easier. Trying to credit them or blaming them for traffic is insane. Traffic is the consequence of roadway design and allocation, not how the cost of VMT is packaged and sold (by Uber or Toyota).
Thanks for making this tool and showing how to get started with the layering!

Growing food is more sustainable, but if I can just 50 years worth of rice and beans or MREs, do I need a sustainable solution?
“Once weaned” is doing a lot of heavy lifting there. The bulk of their life - until month 12-14 is on pasture with the mother. A ~third of those females stay on pasture indefinitely as birthers. The rest go to feed lots (assuming not pasture finished), where they spend the final ~120 days of their life. So at absolute minimum roughly 3/4 of the life is on pasture land.
I'm also wondering if it'll impact compensation in any way, as the work becomes easier and more accessible, I'd expect the pay will lower, since more people will be able to do the job with the help of AI.
they don't have feet but they can detect gravity too and grow vertically when they can
Good to know about the ecosystem differences, thanks. Hopefully with some effort Haskell will be able to catch up there. And yes, Haskell gets some defaults wrong.

Regarding the type systems, they're definitely not near identical :) Haskell's is far more powerful. Perhaps you mean "the type systems are near identical for the kinds of programs I write". Speaking for myself, I could never work without a straightforward implementation of higher-kinded types, for example.
The USB protocols over the wire are generally not compatible between versions, especially at the lowest levels (signalling). That's the definition of how more bandwidth can be squeezed into the same wires. The signalling layer changed between versions.

The "end-user experience" IPv6 equivalent of the USB version transition is that a person browsing to "www.google.com" has no clue whatsoever that it actually went via IPv6 instead of IPv4.

Just like with USB 1 to 4, IPv6 goes down the same cables and works the same at the application layer. Some changes occurred, but changes are mandatory for things to change.

You're asking for USB 4 to be magically "the same" as USB 1.0 while sending tens of gigabits over the wires -- not for the end users -- but for the lazy electrical engineers that can't be bothered to update their designs!
The same discussion was had at the end of the 1800s, as the torpedo had become a thing, so that the big warships with 300mm guns and more (even 430 for the Italians) were thought of (by some naval strategists) as mere sitting ducks. Which they were.

Fast forward to today and big warships are still a thing, for one reason or another (mostly for fighting goat herders from Central Asia who don’t have access to torpedo-launching vessels), but the idea has remained the same. Of course that the very big and the very important US Navy will never get rid of their big warships, they’d rather sink praising Mahan until the very end than changing their strategic world-view (which would also most likely imply them losing their big warships jobs).

I got into the game "kinda late" (first PC ran DOS 5.0 and Windows 3.1), and I still cherish and adore the CLI, and can't imagine it ever going away (if it does, a little piece of me will die with it). The look on the faces of a fresh crop of 20-something developers when you pull out a one-liner and/or some regex never gets old, and I still consider myself very unskilled compared to the folks who have lived and breathed bash/csh/zsh/tcsh etc for the past 30-40 years.

That being said, how old is "Old"?

I wouldn't be so quick to claim "no way", given our past: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caligula%27s_Giant_Ship (about 312 feet... done about two thousand years ago).

Thanks for the clarification. It’s a misuse of that term then. A certificate is not a key pair. A certificate is very clearly and narrowly defined: a statement of the form “this public key belongs to this name” (in this case a DNS name, but can be any name), signed by a (mutually) trusted authority. Once you trust that authority, you trust the connection of name to key.
Because sites want users to judge them independently. Some users want to avoid shady sites tracking them, but may allow reputable businesses to track them. Reputable businesses being taken out as collateral from a global DNT is not good for them.
"The saga began back in the 1960s when the United States, seeking to cement its global military supremacy, started looking for remote islands where it could establish strategic bases. ... The early 1960s saw the beginning of secret negotiations between the British and the Americans over the establishment of a "joint communications base"

...In September 2016, the tiny African state was able to get Chagos back on the United Nations agenda for the first time in half a century. The following year, the UN General Assembly – over fierce resistance from London – voted to seek an advisory opinion on the issue from the International Court of Justice. The judges, responsible for territorial disagreements, were asked to determine whether the British violated international law when they split Chagos off from Mauritius in the 1960s. ... The United Kingdom, the court found, had "forcibly removed" the population of the Chagos islands. Furthermore, the "process of decolonization of Mauritius (was) not lawfully completed." London, reads the court opinion, must return the archipelago to Mauritius "as rapidly as possible."

The British, though, had no intentions of complying. Even before the court opinion, then Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson had exhibited no qualms about extending the lease for Diego Garcia to 2036. Now, London ignored the International Court of Justice and, a short time later, disregarded the UN General Assembly, which voted 116 to 6 in a resolution demanding the end of British rule in Chagos. Among European countries, only Hungary sided with the UK. Finally, London also brushed off a ruling from the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, located in Hamburg, which confirmed Mauritius’ sovereignty over the Chagos Archipelago in 2021."
I think you already pointed out the pros and cons very well. You should calculate the salary/rate you want to achieve. If a recruiter can offer this, then why not going for it. I do not have the best negotiation skills, but often was still better paid then the colleagues without people selling them. So probably you will be paid better often even if this blood suckers take their cut.

Japan has a way to go, but gradually they're thinking more about immigration as a necessity, which was pretty much never an issue before. In those Japanese newspapers I read there are more and more articles about how local governments and also the national government are (economically) supporting companies giving language training to immigrant workers, with the idea that they want them to stay. Similarly, some cities are setting up programs which try to get foreign students to stay after graduation.
There's still much which has to change (see comments by others). But it's still a bit behind and the population will almost certainly continue to decline for some years, as it has for a decade now.
Honestly I would make a strong generalisation here that in matters of dexterity, small changes are profound.

The "jump" in phone size from the iPhone 5 to the 6 was extremely jarring (and the 12 mini) to me, despite being "only a little bit larger" than the 5.

I think our hands are so used to fine motor movement that small changes can have substantial effects.

The mistake you’re making is that not all variables are under your control.

Getting better and better beans is very hard. You’re stuck with what is available. You’re stuck with what water is available (if you’re a reasonable person). You’re stuck with the local roasters.

So of the variables you can control, the grinder is the most important piece of equipment you can buy.
If he uses HC logic and is careful to keep traces pulled back from the edge of the pcbs, and also carefully deals with the interconnects (those might be the killer) then he could probably pass EMC. Maybe some series termination on the clock tree.

At the speed it's running, the edge rates of the IO drivers and the input/output of the entire thing are the problem.

If humanity can't figure out how to handle population decline, then it's doomed, full stop. There's only so much planet to go around; there's a finite limit somewhere. Rather than treating population decline as the issue, perhaps focusing on the actual issues that it exposes would be prudent. As it is now, we're just making every new generation into a layer of a global pyramid scheme.

This dude was a VP at JP. Surely he should be networking for a job, not applying to job sites?! Seems like they are going down the wrong channel. I’ve never filled a senior position in my teams via CVs, and always through word of mouth.

The problem with the job market is many-fold:
1. Volume. It’s easier to travel, move, work remotely etc. so there are just so many applicants for any given post. Also skills are more transferable than ever.
2. Opaqueness: salaries usually not posted as it’s uncouth to mention. Titles no longer industry standard. Job reqs are works of corporate poetry, not realistic descriptions. So people can’t contextualise.
3. Fake internal roles: apparently some companies have policies to advertise all jobs even if it’s 99% going to be filled by an internal candidate. Apparently it stems from non discrimination law.
4. Hubris: we live in a society where everyone (especially me) eternally feels under paid and overqualified.
5. Lies: the bar of what is a lie and what is a polished CV is personal and not agreed on.
Russia has proved that you can swarm the defences of your adversary using very cheap and very hard to detect drones. I’m on mobile but check for the night attacks the Russians have carried out against Ukrainian towns located on the Danube like Reni, Ismail or Chilia.

Might want to edit the word distraction into destruction, as it creates a somewhat confusing post at first otherwise. Beyond that, I think there was more to nukes than just mutually assured destruction. I think most world leaders are cowards. Just envision in your mind Joe Leader somehow being captured and being given a choice, which he somehow knew to be 100% honest. He could immediately and permanently end a conflict, and be spared. Or he would be killed on the spot. How many leaders are going to go, "No. This conflict is just and right. Do what you must, but I will not betray my country and conscience."?

They'd all be pissing their pants just to live another day. And so like any coward they'll happily make the "tough decision" to casually sacrifice millions of other peoples lives - billions if necessary, but they would not, in a million years, accept a scenario where they, themselves, might be killed. And nukes created just such a scenario. Drones, especially given the existence of extremely effective (but distance constrained) electronic warfare and other technology, doesn't intuitively threaten their own mortality. So I expect to see full steam ahead.
