Honestly can you blame the candidate? Cover letters are barely read and make no difference in the overall selection process, except as a measure of elimination. For a job seeker, a discerning reader like you isn't a priority when he has to apply for 30 other jobs each day with a custom cover letter for each one.

I remember back in recruitment for banking, we simply used to look at stacks of hundreds, maybe thousands, of resumes. Judging HR folks' calibre, I doubt any of them had the time to read and filter through hundreds of cover letters to send the candidates over to us.

The cover letter is a thing of the past and should be eliminated altogether, simply because they have been rendered useless by employers themselves.
Breakneck capitalism, so to speak is why I can get almost any material , consumer or professional, delivered to my door in a few days - including things that would be considered exotic a year ago, at a tenth the price they would have been (even adjusting for col).

Corporate raiding is nothing new, and financialization does let it happen at a pace that it couldn't previously - but just saying "but that's capitalism!" is quitting

Worker owned collectives have the same problems, people want to acquire power and then use it to be ahead when strategies fail and someone has to take responsibility.

How do you prevent that looks different in a market economy than a planned one (planned ones having more widespread but also more small scale corruption issues like these) - but you still do need to do the work to prevent it.
Not quite, docker-compose is shipped separately by Docker as docker-compose-plugin. The plugin can then be reached with the subcommand "docker compose".

However, I agree with your sentiment. It's basically a part of any modern Docker installation now. Calling it an external dependency "like watchtower" is not a fair comparison.

I was only curious about _why_ the candidate had applied, given the ChatGPT generated cover letter. And a simple "because I am looking for a job and I think I match who you're looking for" would have sufficed in my opinion.

We actually don't require a cover letter in the first place. But if there is one, I'll read it of course.

Of course you do.

The most likely scenario for some time is at most a few thousand people that don't die a natural death, that can afford to edit DNA, and perhaps even transfer their mind into a tin can ... along side some greater than a few billion others who continue to practice natural selection.

"Stacker" arcade machines work like that. It's always possible to win the minor prize (a little plastic toy generally), but if you refuse the small prize and keep playing for a major prize (game consoles, gift cards, etc.), it's impossible to win until the machine has banked enough money for the operator to make a profit.

The OP seems to think we should approach cover letters with the same care as if we were writing the great American novel. I disagree. They are meant to be somewhat canned, but a good one will efficiently direct the reviewers attention to the parts of your resume which are most relevant to the job and give the impression that you are specifically interested in the role. This is a task generative AI can accomplish with appropriate direction.

Obviously a generic prompt is going to get a generic response, but if you put in the work to create a prompt with adequate context and descriptions of what you specifically want then I've seen it produce output that is a reasonably good starting place. If you don't want it using overly flowery, weirdly deferential language and copying specific phrases from the job description then you can address that by including those instructions in the prompt: "Be concise. Use a confident and conversational tone, and avoid using specific phrases from the job description."

The problem is most people aren't going to spend 20-30 minutes creating a really customized prompt. But people who can't write a good prompt probably also weren't going to handcraft a great letter either. Mainly because of the investment of time it requires to create a fully bespoke piece of writing by hand for each place you want to apply.

Another thing I want to mention is that it seems that many people don't realize yet that if you don't like the initial output you can give feedback and ask for revisions. E.g. "Can you make it shorter", "Eliminate flowery adjectives", etc or even just "Can you show me some different variations of this letter?"

If you're writing a lot of these, it's worth putting in 20 minutes or so to make a prompt that creates output that doesn't suck but which you can easily reuse for other companies and roles with minor tweaks.
I actually didn't bother after they revealed their process to me.
> Honest question: do people actually apply to jobs because it piques their interest?

Yes? I mean, I have to work somewhere, but I'd prefer to work on problems that I find interesting.

> I don't apply for any jobs that require a cover letter.

Where I work cover letters are optional, and give the candidate a bit of extra space to explain how their experience is relevant to the role.

I find this becomes less and less relevant with seniority: if you are an obvious fit with oodles of experience then the letter won't tell us much. But I find the letters pretty interesting for more junior candidates, or people coming in from different industries.
Polynesian navigation is Wild.

I think its well known that it almost died out, as its something that needs ideally to be taught in the (sea) field.

However there are now people in their 30s who can navigate by the stars, sound, wave shape and pattern, cloud layout and birds https://manoa.hawaii.edu/exploringourfluidearth/physical/nav...

Similarly there are people who can navigate the desert, even though the dunes are mostly ever shifting.

CI/CD workflows most likely. And devshops that have standadised on docker containers for their stacks (mac-based devs in such places suffer a fair amount of papercuts today). Then I guess there are people that are very security minded that might want to run all userland executables in containers (although this project here is not for them I'd say).

Theoretically, probably, for coarse-grained yes/no things? I don't think it's able to go much further than "you can use the local network and/or internet" and "you can read/write to the filesystem location corresponding to you bundle identifier `com.foo.bar`" but not "hey let me present you with a namespaced view of loopback or process list".

Also not sure if it can be dynamically set by a parent process for a child? Seems like it's very bundle oriented (except maybe for Apple processes) so not very practical.

The 2022 survey indicates that it now takes an average of 26 days to schedule a new patient physician appointment in 15 of the largest cities in the United States, up from 24.1 days in 2017 and up from 21 days in 2004.

Major cities, like those included in the survey, have some of the highest ratios of physicians per capita in the country, yet the survey indicates physician appointment wait times are increasing.

Family medicine is the only specialty in which average appointment wait times were down relative to 2017, according to the survey. The average wait time for a family medicine appointme

None of this matches what seems to be the reality on the battle field. Russia has fielded a lot of modern equipment and many of their elite units. There is plenty of footage of destroyed modern Russian equipment.

Yes, Russia is holding back but only to the level that they do not call for total mobilization and war economy. They are not holding back 80% or anything close to that.

I legitimately can't tell if this comment is meant to be ironic or not.
People that had success decades ago seems to be forgetting that it was decades ago. Doom was released 30 years ago. In a much, much smaller market and in a lot less competition. He is saying people are not making smaller games before moving to bigger projects but people, collectively, are doing that. For every "13 games that we made in 1991 alone" back then, now there are probably 130 games that gets released everyday. Not one of them will probably make any real money let alone be popular.

It is a bigger market. Sure you are increasing your chances if you release more, if you get better but still it is mostly about luck at this point for indie devs. Even with the name John Romero and some big publishers behind he is not able to replicate his success today

Something that I really need to emphasize is tailor your CV to every job.

If you're apply to a job that's targeting C/C++/rust/low-level take any python (or similar) and either don't include them or, if what you were using them for was relevant to the job itself coalesce them.

If you're applying to a job that involves creative work, make sure to include creative projects, but if you're not then just have a sentence in your "about me" synopsis at most.

Your CV/resume should fit on a single page. Priority should be to things that are directly relevant to the job you're applying for.

If it's not your first job your uni grades don't matter, just the qualifications, and the more real experience you have the less relevant those are - unless you're an international hire and a work visa will be needed, in that case more or less all countries just have hard "you must have this degree or equivalent" requirements.

Include information about what you actual did, not what project/product you worked on.

I've read many CVs that make it actively hard to determine whether interviewing is worthwhile: lots of pages isn't impressive, all it means I'm more likely to miss info that would make you compelling. Similarly buzzwords aren't impressive they should only be present in significant amounts if you're think you're dealing with recruiter BS.
Completely anecdotally:

I am 46yo. And I was in a reading slump for most of my fourties. I used to be an avid reader until I became a father and my 3 children began taking up more of my time. And I got a shorter attention span too.

I signed up for TT because my eldest child wanted an account and I wanted to see what he was sharing and seeing. He abandoned his account quite quickly, but I found fantasy booktok. And the Tiktokers' youthful enthusiasm was a big part of what got me out of my years-long reading slump.

I doubt if this happens often enough to be industry changing, but it does happen, even for someone very much outside the Tiktok demographic.

As an aside: where it does seem to have an influence is more people in the Dutch language zone reading books in English. I have been reading in English since I was 12 and at the time many people thought that was crazy. But nowadays every bookshop has a wall full of English Fantasy en YA books.
"Don't be generic" applies to the employer with regards to renumeration. "Competitive" means nothing, give me a numerical range. This avoids a waste of time on both parties' behalf.

The interesting difference here is the emotions involved in the marketing and public perception; crypto was largely about hope, NFTs were greed and a quick buck, AI seems to be a mix of embracing the future and fear of the future.

Almost all the software engineers I know are sceptical of this wave of AI at best, or openly dismissive at worst.

The people I know buying into the hope and/or fear are people with no actual hands on experience, or no technical knowledge beyond the 10,000ft view their engineers describe to them.

Generalising, of course, but this has been my observation as the dust settled from the AI boom late last year.
Of course, we need to continue the effort to put out fire with gasoline.
JDM minivan is one of the most difficult form factor for BEV because it's extremely optimized for internal space. It's better for Toyota to release and sell more SUV BEVs on foreign markets to compete. JDM minivan would be the released slowly because there's no BEV competitor in foreseeable future.

Imported vans has been a joke for Japanese passengers, but I'd like to see how Chinese minivans does well (or not, maybe too big for Japan).
Another factor is that "take X when you wake up Monday and Y when you go to bed Monday" falls apart if you stay up past midnight (then you're taking the second Monday pills on Tuesday), then if you wake up later at 10 PM Monday and go to bed Tuesday afternoon (pretty soon you're taking both of Monday's pills on Tuesday and need to skip taking a day in your pill tracker), whereas recording the last time you took a pill allows you to space them approximately 8 hours apart regardless of the date/time you last took one.
Sure, many scientists work for PR firms of the fossil fuel industry, or worse. But they rarely make a public fuss about how awesome that is and how there should be more of that, right? That is what societal power would mean IMO, having respect and attention -- not working on evil shit in the "basement" of a corporation you can only talk about in layers of rationalizations and jargon in public, if even that. They may rake in the cash and then get respect for the things that buys, but not directly for who they are and what they do.

Whereas scientists that are alarmed by things like biodiversity loss and climate change really are pounding at our door, and have societal power in some circles but not on the whole, not enough, which is made clear by the outcomes.
That is not my experience the pharmasist does exactly what the GP says.
> While I'm not aware of any technology that claims to classify faces as liars the rest of the statement is broadly true. And if you wanted to cross-check a face against a database of known liars, the entire statement is true.

Well, I don't think the "bad character" thing is there either. The problem is with these statements is they are lies that contain some truth. Cameras exist. AI to try and detect basic facial expressions exists. Mapping from basic facial expressions to underlying emotions exists. But I doubt many people are trying this, except as a way to justify a marketing budget (we want to push our smile numbers from 8% to 8.2% - give me $5m for my marketing department). And I have never heard of anything connecting "liar" or "bad character" to AI detection.

> And if you wanted to cross-check a face against a database of known liars, the entire statement is true.

Filling in the gaps with technically true statements should not justify the emotional change in you this sort of article seems to be trying to engender. It's pretty much not true, and the bits that might be true and honest - e.g. emotion detection - doesn't work well, and is probably not deployed anywhere.

As for using facial recognition to replace time cards, and replace photos of banned customers - sure? Might work?
I've had part of the touchscreen die on my Pixel 3a. A 1cm wide, vertical strip down the phone just wasn't recognizing any touches anymore. I contacted support, showed them the problem, and they had me reset and send it in. Got a replacement phone without a problem.

> you’ll see a WantedBy line. This is a great place to set up container dependencies. In this example, the container that runs caddy (a web server) can’t start until Wordpress is up and running.

Either this must be some systemd weirdness that I thankfully haven't had to deal with until now, or I'm misunderstanding something.

Did I understand correctly you don't specify which services you need but rather which ones depend on your service? So if your service doesn't start you'll need to check the configuration files of all other services to figure out which dependency is preventing it from starting?
However, the dangers here are immense. There was https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoVJKj8lcNQ where they argued for 2028 being an AI election where the person with most computing power wins.

The syntax and examples in the article assumes usage of SystemD as service manager. Does it work on distros without SystemD too? Docker-compose does.

I also do not understand separation of services to different files. Is it supposed to be more convenient? With docker-compose, the whole application stack is described in one file, before your eyes, within single yaml hierarchy. With quadlets, it's not.

Lastly, I do not understand the author's emphasize on AutoUpdate option. Is software supposed to update without administrator supervision? I guess not. What are the rules for new version matching: update to semver minor, patch version, does it skip release candidates etc?
Which, considering the PMC capture, is probably the point.

It is the same for any OS. Virtual machine boots a separate instance of the whole OS. This is slow, this is often too much isolated (you can't easily/effectively share files between host and guest), you need to set artificial limits on VM disk/memory/cpu. On the other side, containers work in the context of host OS, what means less overhead and easier interaction with host.
