I found mine by searching “Who’s hiring” threads from HN using third-party indexers, and choosing to only look at job listings that mentioned that they use my favourite programming language.

I got my job at the company about 1 year ago.

I interviewed with a handful of companies and this one was the only one that wanted to hire me out of those :)

There were also some companies that I contacted that never even bothered to reply back to me at all. It was discouraging and tiresome, but I was lucky to finally find a company that was interested in my skills.
> Where was Russias great cyber warfare teams? They wouldn't have held back against consumer devices.

I don't think their goal has ever been sabotage as much as it has been intelligence gathering, but I suspect a lot of their efforts have gone underreported.

Russia did successfully brick thousands of consumer satellite modems to disrupt communications in the opening hours of the Ukraine campaign. Everybody reported on Elon Musk swooping in and playing savior, but they acted like he's the first person to bring satellite service to Ukraine and neglected to mention incumbent ISPs' devices operating in the area had been destroyed in targeted cyberattacks (later, Russia went low-tech and just started lobbing artillery at ground stations).

Because of this oversight, nobody really understood why he pulled the service from the front lines-- he saw what Russia was capable of and didn't want Starlink to become a military target itself.
I love making fun of people that don’t understand percentages… wait, wat?
He may be confusing action with Bradleys for the "bulldozer assault" where armored bulldozers were used to plow over a trench network rather than sending in ground troops to clear it out. Personally I don't see how getting hurt yourself has any impact on whether attacking someone is justified. There is no scenario in which killing someone with a knife is more justified than killing them with a gun or a bomb.
whoa. good to know.

I re-write all of my job descriptions. Usually because I touch so many different technologies, libraries, etc in each job, I can't put them all there. I try to tailor it toward the job description.
Which is all well and good until someone aims a camera to capture the VIN number near your drivers side dash.

That’s the thing it’s easy to say something is a perfect crime, it’s harder to prove.
Ask HN: Why are some companies still trying to force return to office?
Seems like the consensus is that you can do just fine (if not better) if your employees are remote. So why are some companies still trying to force workers back to the office knowing many would rather quit?

We were discussing Meta though. They absolutely depend on mobile, that is the majority of their user-base. In fact that is the majority on all ad-supported social media sites, so mining is a non-starter for them. Mobile traffic is >55% of all traffic and >80% for social media sites.
I'm getting AI subscription fatigue[1].

How, as a consumer, am I supposed to justify paying $10+ /mo for different interfaces to the same AI backend? Some of this stuff is cool, but why would anyone pay for a Chat GPT shortcut directly within Arc?

Don't get me wrong, I understand these features cost Arc (or whoever) money and they can't exactly give it away for free, but why would I pay for this + ChatGPT Plus + Poe + every other app that has a small AI assistant? It's just not sustainable.

There's a few local apps that let me use an Open AI key. I'd much rather pay on demand (and directly to the source, or even better, use a local LLM) and then purchase an app one-time or have a lower recurring fee than to be paying some incremental amount for AI features that I have access to in a million different interfaces.

[1] Yes, this is free now, but unless Arc can extract some value out of you down the road, it's not cost viable for them to offer for users for free. The most user friendly way to do this would be a simple subscription.
no, that won't work. You'd have to clflush after every store. And even then, the cacheline might only ever get to the write pending queue (wpq) - and that you can't control.
That's an interesting quirk! I thought they were all just USB-C ports internally. Do you know why this matters?
For migrations altering columns (for instance adding a constraint), data gets upgraded/downgraded between old and new versions trough the up/down functions. These are defined by the migration. They work like this:

- For rows inserted/updated through the old version of the schema, the up function gets executed, copying the resulting value into the new column
- For rows inserted/updated through the new version, the down function gets executed, copying the resulting value into the old column

For instance, you can test that up function works before releasing the new app relying on it, just by checking that the values present in the new schema are correct.
Answering as someone who's done a little hiring recently, but for me it's obvious when someone has put some time and effort in to their application via the cover letter. A good application will demonstrate some understanding of what the role is likely to entail, a bit about the company as a whole and a bit of understanding of the wider market the company works in.

Granted this is for a relatively small company in a niche area. Maybe it is different when applying for jobs at big companies.
We've since moved the comments in to a different thread. (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37756211)
Hey hey! We've talked with a bunch of people using notes and sheets to manage their libraries. Seems to be a common trend from people who want a little more control than Goodreads offers. Here's my take on each of these:

> 1. Is there a way to bulk edit a list?

Not today, but I love the idea. What were you hoping to do in bulk? Change a status? Add to list? etc?

> 2. Related to the first one, when I click the "Want to Read" big yellow button, it takes about 100-200ms for something to show or be clickable.

Yeah, good point. We do like 4 queries there to get all the data for the button, but we could do that in one query and get everything. That would speed it up. We've also talked about splitting the button into a "mark as want to read" button and a "dropdown" button. That way if you just want to mark as a book as "want to read" it's only 1 click.

> 3. When in Airlist when I click manage, nothing appears

Hmm, I see what you mean. That's supposed to be a dropdown with options for edit list, reorder list, save list ordering (in localstorage). But we're in the process of rebuilding that feature, which means sometimes there are no options there. Adding this to our issue tracker.

> 4. This is a suggestion, make it possible in the settings to configure what the home page

That's an interesting one! We've talked about two things that could help there. One is making the feed filterable. If we added feed items for blog post and you could set your filter to only show those that would work. The other thing was creating widgets to show in the left/right columns on the feed page. Do you feel like either/both of those would work?

> 5. Do you think it will ever be open source?

Yes! We have a path to open sourcing that we're starting down this year. It's a difficult one to run locally due to the 8 docker containers needed as well as a lot of local data for books. Right now a big advantage of the team is our agility, and at the moment open sourcing (and getting to the point people can actually run the app) would take some time.

We are thinking about open sourcing the front-end first though. In that case people would work on the Next.js app but use a staging API/database. Any thoughts on that kind of approach to start? Or are you much more curious about the Rails side?
> DOWN WITH BOOL!

This is as silly as saying "down with the integers." (Boolean is a full-blown type that is richer than an enum in terms of the set of operations it supports.)
anyone this recently worked out for?
good summary. I've used a bunch of this stack.
You highlight another reason people are unavailable for synchronous conversations: they are in other meetings! The strength of writing is that it spans location as well as time. I find it odd that thousands of years after its creation, leaning on the written word can still be a competitive advantage.
I found mine networking through previous colleagues.
I should have perhaps written "acutely environmentally aware" instead, where cars are a necessary evil at best, and an unforgivable sin at worst.
If you can afford to setup a charger fast enough to bring people in. They're not going to stop and browse your candy isle for 3 hours while your low wattage level 2 charger trickles 30 mph of charge into their batteries unless that's the only option available. Faster charging, even staying within the bounds of AC Level 2 charging, requires beefy connections to the electrical grid to support more than one or two charging points.

Many places will make the transition but you'll also need to change your interior to dedicate more space to people waiting while charging.
> Amazon stopped using the algorithm in 2019, some of the people said.

The article doesn't say when this project started, but given that end date it would have been entirely on Bezos's watch
Amazon's price-matching algorithm does nefarious things.

I'd argue that the 'lower prices' just let amazon disperse the cost of markdowns across all of the vendors. Meaning Amazon still benefits from the lower pricing because they get possibly extra sales but only absorb the cost on 'their' products which were still matched to their 'competition' who were stuck matching Amazon.
Top browser engineers going elsewhere is a good thing because it means more competition.

Browsers being forced to come up with a real business model is a good thing too.
Thats irrelevant.

They got billions on their balance sheet and the are rumours of a new phone company with Jony Ive.

The bankroll along with the dynamism both parties bring to the table might just cross the threshold for becoming a viable contender against the Apple/Google duopoly.

Lets not forget the AI advantage, Apple has a lot of catching up to do and this opens a small window of opportunity.
I'm okay with storing the fingerprints and photos of every adult, period. These very loosely tie people to places and times, and perhaps we would treat them more as the very loose link if we understood better how dragnet they are.

I'm definitely okay with keeping them on file for every convicted criminal, though I will continue to argue for certain kinds of convictions to be thrown out.
If you think that teams who find bugs in CPUs or understand some aspects of them better than the engineers at Intel and AMD aren't competent enough to fix verbatim search, I'm not sure what to tell you. It's not about excuses, it's about trade-offs that you might not agree with. For more nuance and history, see e.g. https://research.google.com/people/jeff/Stanford-DL-Nov-2010...

If you believe that this or similar issues will destroy Google, I guess we'll see.
They are are trying to weaken the societal obligation of not stealing by punting the obligation on equipment manufacturers to make things hard to steal.

It is cowardly and weak to abuse the legal system to compensate for societal problems by shifting blame onto easy targets. I have no interest in entertaining that line of reasoning.
I've reached out to recruiters on LinkedIn, but maybe I'm not an easy candidate, because they never seem to do much for me. Do I need to do something specific or hit up the right recruiter?
Not quite. In india properties get loans during early construction as well, and the amounts are disbursed in tranches based on completion progress. Timelines must be filed publicly with RERA and a non RERA approved property is a red flag. No escrows as such for loans taken by buyer.

What I call loan is a similar arrangement to mortgage. Buyer pledges property as collateral, pays about 20% out of pocket, rest is a debt to be paid. Defaults result in loss of ownership of property. The agreements are tripartite. Builder gets paid from the loan taken out by buyer in tranches and builder reputation matters along with market value assessment and buyer's credit profile for obtaining a loan.

yeah they did before everything burned. mercury is their only real competition that is similar but they're all online only. no perks that i know of really.
Fair enough, it's almost double that in the UK.
This is a good point, I believe we can look into trying to estimate storage needs or timings before a migration. It definitely looks like a nice to have.

If your job is to maintain the pump you should have a measured container, then you dispense 1 gallon, check that what came out was one gallon - if not adjust various "things" until it is. They then dump the gasoline back in the tank. This is carefully regulated and checked by the state who does random checks as well. (it is also possible they do other chemical checks on the fuel - most just trust the refinery to do everything and have enough turn over that the fuel is close enough to fresh but there might be some exception)

I'm not sure if the station themselves do the above check, or someone else. Based on other equipment I've worked on I'd expect this to be done weekly by the station, but I don't actually know what the service intervals on a gas pump is.

Can You Trust Those Awards You See in Auto Ads? (2010)
I’m not saying it’s too much to ask for, but also, when you’re doing distributed in memory graph mining (which means you’ve got an application with a big enough graph that you need to do this, and the technical expertise to need the algorithms in this open source package) maybe it’s expected that you can read the bazel files and bazel docs yourself and figure it out.

Or just write a make file and cut all the bazel build optimization out.

They don’t put instructions on how to start a F1 car inside the cockpit, you don’t hop into a fighter jet and look for the push to start easy button, it’s expected that when you’re at that level you bring expertise.
Long lived data tends to have additional value to it, and anything valuable gets loaded up with business rules.

Data that sticks around and hardly ever changes, we start layering more interpretations on top. Eventually for performance reasons, those functions turn into projections of the data that get pre-cooked instead of interpreted on every request. Materialized view. Data transformations into other tables, etc.
I wonder if it did predict a crime, would it change how they act? Would they trust it, or would hubris prevail?

I personally have predicted crimes to the police and been futile, and they happened. Even had a police complaint upheld over it.

So even if you can see the patterns (be that autisticly gifted that way or by machines), it is trust/communication that is the crux. Akin to giving the answer to a math problem without showing the working out. Hence many aspects are reactive to problems with proactiveness very much an uphill battle of complacency.

The real issue though with any probability/prediction is the quality of the data, and filtering that. As always - Garbage in, Garbage out. This is born out that many police systems are old, legacy, with bolt-on's added along the way, so you can and do get data being curtailed in quality by legacy limits. Certainly, can attest to instances in my country and can imagine the story is much the same throughout more than appreciated. After all, an underfunded police is common in many countries.
imo the T14 AMD (or the T14s if you need usb4 and a slightly nicer looking chassis) are the best value in the thinkpad range.
Right now any keyboard can use any layout transparently, minus the keycaps printing but fingers don't have eyes, so it doesn't really matter. Changing that is what would be really stupid.
It's a valid question, how can smaller companies be competitive in this business.

But saying "we steal to stay relevant, because we don't have as much funds as our competitors" is not the answer.

He said that in 2003 though. Amazon lived that business model for over 15-years of its life. It is now the largest online business in the world, at some point they were going to cash-in on their monopolistic position.

The inflation on rent is not due the recent "increase" in new population?

expanding this:

Not complaining but it is unfair to increase your population not organically, forbidding new constructions and expecting this "just works".

What happens is both sides are squeezed in inflation and have lower quality of life and the govt. reaps higher taxes.

Then same govt says you are evil for pointing out this?

Edit:

People are pointing out the asylum or refugee. That is not what I am talking about.
Talking about cities having an influx. Like Austin or others cities where a large flux of people migrates.

It would be nice if there was an IPFS implementation with much lower memory requirements. I tried a while back on something equivalent to a “free tier VM” and it quickly ate all available RAM.
“Trying to regulate” and “succeeding in enforcing regulations” aren't the same thing.

In fact, a low clearance rate can be evidence of trying to regulate far beyond one's capacity to consistently enforce; if you weren't trying to regulate very hard, it would be much easier to have a high clearance rate for violations of what regulations you do have.
