I was the first hire of a major bitcoin casino as my last main gig, but I don't think it's had any impact.

I'm having a pretty bad time landing interviews. I'm not trying too hard yet, but it's pretty disheartening to get rejected for jobs with a listing that matches exactly what I was doing at my previous job.

"Thanks for applying but we've moved on to other candidates!" on a job similar to what I just spent 6 years doing really makes me feel like an imposter. Is everyone else applying to this job an ex-FAANG SWE but me?

I'm sure it's mostly due to the super competitive market (I haven't looked for a job in 10 years). But I also realize I have no big names on my resume. And as big as the bitcoin casino might be, it doesn't seem to have helped me. I fear that maybe it's just not seen as a particularly legitimate job, and might even seem sketchy or corny.

Sometimes I wonder if the gig is up and I should just work at Costco for the season. I've only applied to 15 carefully selected jobs though. I would not be in a good mental state if I applied to 100+ like you have, jeez. I should start trying harder if that's what it's gonna take.

Maybe we should set up a Discord for some group support.
Your link is a Cruise (according to the X/Tweet/Thing), but it sounded like you were using that as evidence of faulty Waymo behavior.
I'm sorry but is just nonsense? Go where? To Russia or China, that would never be allowed. To Europe?

And even if it was allowed, the infrastructure and people are here, this would be a decade long transition.

This is just so utterly and completely unlikely that the chance for it happening is so close to 0% that its practically irrelevant.

I think only because its Musk would people come up with scenarios like this.
So when I roll down a car window and feel the radiant heat of the sun more intensely than when the window is up, is that difference primarily due to the glass filtering UV or IR?
Xi invading Taiwan would directly initiate a war with the US. Xi’s illegal actions in the South China Sea is evidence that Xi is willing to cross that line rather than keeping the status quo despite running afoul of PLA leadership and many others within the CCP itself.
OpenAI Releases New Features
We don’t want to un-open-source the project. We’re not trying to pull a hashicorp or set up to do so; we just want the option to dual license to sell AGPL exceptions.
It seems so weird to me when people express this opinion. There was a once in a century global pandemic that so severely crushed supply chains that even car manufacturers couldn't produce cars. What do we expect Raspberry Pi to do when this happens? They apparently have both business customers and hobby customers. They made a decision to prioritize business customers, supposedly because those customers would be more likely to jump ship permanently if they could not get the supply they needed. I have no idea what the financial internals at Raspberry Pi are, but I also know that they did not cause nor want the chip shortage to happen, and it is kind of out of their hands whether such a thing happens again. So without knowing what they really should have done, why fault them for this decision?
Embedded in the tragedy of the commons is a Nash equilibrium where it is in the interest of individual parties to not cooperate - where cooperation would be mutually beneficial.

So, at country scale, implementing a carbon tax on any set of countries immediately reduces their competitiveness against tax-free countries. Over time, this difference will lead to wide divergences in outcomes.

1. Sounds like you went to the hotel's listing page to grab the address, rather than your bookings page. If this is the case, I'm not really sure how this is bookings.com's fault.

2. Even if this is booking.com's issue, if you already have a confirmed booking and then made another one, shouldn't you at least double check that the first one was indeed canceled? Was that done?
They picked Portuguese from Europe but omitted Brazilian Portuguese (largely more spoken, like 90-10 split). It's not ananas there, it's abacaxi.
Yes. This is because they cannot provide you the full text of the book; that would be illegal.

They can provide you a snippet, within the legal limits of what they are able to reproduce. They can also direct you to buy a copy of it through them, if the publisher has a deal with Google. Seeing as all roads lead to Rome... most books in Google Books are also available for purchase through Google. Funny system.

It might be insulting, but it still seems accurate based on all your comments here. Your perspective seems incredibly narrow to me, which is why I - rather gently - suggested that traveling to more places might broaden it. But sometimes things are unflattering to people and there isn't really a way to point that out without the person feeling insulted. :shrug:
Thanks. The last I heard of it was that the banks were still lobbying against giving Walmart the license.
Helping people get out is not the only purpose for media about a thing. Informing people who aren't in it is also legitimate news, and can be important if the people outside need to know what's going on inside so that they don't get taken in in the first place.
If you read this article and it gave you pleasure, examine those feelings. I find the generally schadenfreudic reaction to be disgusting. These people just wanted to get together to talk about something they enjoy and you don't.
> beeper might be in some hot water

Beeper’s Synapse fork is already open source. Element has not had any license changes as far as I know and their applications are hard forks, meaning that even if the license changes in the future, they are safe from it.

Not sure if AGPL’s “network use is distribution” is a concern but most of their bridges are open source as well.

Disclaimer: Currently working part time for Beeper. I specifically asked the founder about this after reading the article.
Really? I have looked on VRBO several times and never found anything close to what I could find on ABnB, perhaps it is the location or price range I was looking at wasn't as popular on VRBO. I suppose I will have to check them out again some time.
The first time I used Airbnb, I stayed on a living room couch in Hull, Québec for $20/night and this old drunk Québecer, the roommate of host, sat in the living room with us until 4am (despite not really being invited) telling us about anything from his experience working in an Albertan sulfur mine at 15, to his favourite local working girls.

Now when I use Airbnb, it costs $80/night and there are no creepy French people to keep me company. So I would definitely agree that Airbnb is broken.
"Back then", just being nearby and showing interest was often all that was needed. I remember wandering into the engineering computer lab my first day of college and being asked if I wanted an account by someone only a few years older than I. (I promptly locked up my shell, didn't know what to do and power cycled the machine under the desk. Got a quick reminder that multi-user machines didn't need to be the large rackmounted things I was used to. Oops.)

(My story about fathers and punchcards involves hanging out in the lab with my dad when he was doing his CS homework. I had great fun punching dirty words into the scrap cards and crashing while playing lunar lander on the greenbar printer.)
My instinct from your response is that if we chatted on this for a bit in person we'd see eye to eye and we're probably thinking of different use cases, because I can see how thoughtful you are and usually it comes down to thinking about particular problems in particular companies. So at the risk of going back into crass generalizations, I do persist in thinking that the TCO of a monolith is lower under a lot of the constraints you're describing, assuming (big emphasis) the tooling of the language you're using for the monolith, i.e. a combination of linters and compiler, can enforce the rules. I've been in service-first environments where the equivalent of not caring about code quality in the monolith is firing up a new service without consideration for refactoring the older service, until I am in endless architecture meetings about how to make cross cutting changes around a bunch of services everyone regrets creating.

I suppose in the end it comes down to the classic issue of needing to pay down of tech debt, which is true in any software ecosystem.

> It's called lobbying, and the courts consider it "free speech"

No, it's called bribery. If you give a politician money it's bribery. The closest we have to this is the revolving door.

Lobbying involves paying someone to give your letter to an elected. When you call your representative, you are lobbying. When the EFF engages the Congress, they are lobbying. There is campaign contributions, which go to a campaign, not the individual, and PACs, which involve buying messaging. But conflating bribery and lobbying is simply incorrect.
I mean, so what if there is?

I believe california residents have a limited time period after an agreement to opt-out of binding arbitration. So for california, you might just create a post-contract arbitration letter.
These shoes are crazy and will continue to reduce times. But you have to remember that this year the weather was excellent for marathon running in both Berlin (women’s WR) and Chicago (men’s WR, would have been women’s as well if not for Berlin).

That isn’t always the case, so it can be hard to know what the actual rate of “improvement” is. Remember that the staged 1:59 run in Vienna (didn’t count for anything) was back in 2019.
There are quite a few of them - either basically puzzle solving ones, scoring against a benchmark, or “defeat random events from a deck”.

Awesome! Which book are you following?
Much automotive glass filters (reflects) IR, and also absorbs UV. Each UV ray is "higher energy" but the sun pumps out vastly more IR than UV. You cannot immediately feel the UV on your skin, not until it gives you a sunburn. You are feeling the IR that was previously blocked by the automotive glass.

Interestingly, glass on military vehicles generally does not filter IR. You need IR if you ever want to use nightvision equipment.
Speaking in percentages in this context is generally not super useful, in my opinion. For example, 15% on top of a $200k/yr salary is a pretty decent increase if we're talking about a similar role/set of responsibilities, and seemingly similar culture/benefits. That's almost an extra $800 take-home per paycheck. Assuming a semi-monthly payroll cycle. I just bought a new induction stove and oven for $900, that pay increase would have almost covered it by itself in 2ish weeks. We're talking about a lifestyle change with that bump.

15% on top of a $80k/yr salary on the other hand is a pretty measly $350 extra per paycheck. I wouldn't give up my current workplace culture for that, no.

> If given the choice between two candidates, the one that I suspect will leave for a 1% raise and the one that will need 15%, I'll hire the 15%.

I guess I want to know what magic intuition this hiring manager possesses to gauge what dollar amount a person they just met would be willing to walk away for, though, where they are sure the other person would surely walk for a 1% bump.

I work for a startup today, and can tell you that I've certainly considered looking to FAANG positions for a higher salary. I don't know how much other people pay attention to the performance of IPOs lately, but equity is not as nice as cash in hand right now. And I don't know how much people here pay attention to crypto news beyond the headlines, but DevOps/SW Engineers that work for failed crypto startups don't typically get the same dissolution payouts that the CEO/founder did. I believe using either background as a signal for a person's level of greed is hugely misleading.
This is horrible. I hope they all recover fully and quickly. And that there's some kind of lesson learned by everyone in a position to prevent it from happening again.

Well I don't know about that. I was very fortunate to be able to attend a residential college paid for through a mix of parents, scholarships, loans, and part-time jobs. Even at the time I was never under any illusions about how the funding model worked. I didn't have to "discover" anything.

Having a bunch of friends within walking distance was nice, but I certainly wouldn't want to return to that lifestyle even if it was free. It was ultimately very limiting and insular.
Yeah, thanks. Got distracted.

Show HN: Regexdiff – a novel way to analyze regular expressions
regexdiff is a tool that finds the difference (think `diff` or Levenshtein distance) between a string and a regex. That means it shows the steps required (insertions and deletions) to turn a given string into one that matches a given pattern.

I'm not the first person to have this idea or to come up with the algorithm (for example, a few existing engines use this to implement approximate matches), but it wasn't available in a convenient form, so I decided to make this little toy.

In order to support lookaround, it also includes an algorithm that compiles arbitrary-length lookahead and lookbehind into a DFA. I haven't seen this done anywhere before.

While this isn't the most substantial project, I have managed to find a few uses for it since I made it half a year ago, so I thought I'd share it here.
People differ I guess. I cook at home all the time. If I'm on vacation, I'm eating out.
I recall the DAK ads from my teenage cheap subscription to Stereo Review magazine.

Bought a few things from him, like a cordless stereo headset. For that one I had to string an (included) thin insulated wire around my room - like an invisible fence! But it sounded good to me, and was inexpensive enough for a kid like me its day.

But my favorite sales pitch from DAK was for the Gorilla Banana printer, a super-cheap dot matrix parallel printer with a stupid name that made it ever more sellable - at least by Drew! Unfortunately I had no computer to buy it for...but I eventually found a couple of them in use in my business department's computer lab!
I do similar things. Just replacing plastic sandwich bags with reusable silicon ones has been a big win. Even at the farmer's market, I eliminated the last little plastic by bringing cotton vegetable bags.

To be clear, I'm not puritanical about this. I still do takeout sometimes. And, I'm about to hop on some flights that will burn a ton of oil. (Ironically, one of those carbon-belching flights is to a dinner at Silo, which I'm looking forward to.)

Two of my biggest realizations have been:

1. There are many low-hanging changes we can make to reduce plastic, such as going to a farmers market, replacing a one-time use sandwich bag with a reusable one, or skipping delivery food (which often has more plastic packaging than actual food).

2. Low-plastic is often synonymous with quality. My cotton jeans, leather bag, and metal water bottle are all more expensive - but they are higher quality, have lasted for years, and can often be repaired. For example, my leather was an expensive $400, but I've had it for 8 years and counting - and just had it restored to look shiny and new. (Put another way: Plastic lacks wabi-sabi beauty).
So does that mean the Raspberry Pi 5 sold today could enable it at some point in the future, if someone like Broadcom decides to provide that driver?

> Why does my cilantro need to come in a plastic bag?

Everything here is hugely regional, but two answers spring to mind:

1) coriander is frequently sold in unpackaged bunches, typically larger than the packaged ones;

2) it's packaged in plastic because then it can be filled with some inert gas that prolongs spoiling, it's not completely obtuse.

(In the UK for example Waitrose sells it growing reared in Sussex, or packaged grown idk Spain or Monaco or somewhere; Sainsbury's sells it similarly packaged or cut and bunched of undisclosed origin.)

This is a post is about an opinion piece on another website. You can read the original text here: https://thehill.com/opinion/technology/4287616-elon-musks-im...

While I don't really care much what happens on twitter, Elon Musk is a great example of why censorship is always a problem. Musk has claimed to support free speech, but he has no problems censoring or trying to silence what he doesn't like. All censors abuse their power eventually.

Free speech is critical to freedom and democracy and the farther any platform stays from free speech the more dangerous and manipulative it will become.
Yeah, I work for a company that offered a product that (among many other features) was used by medium-to-large institutional customers to post to and query Twitter… even getting a quote from X was a journey, but when it finally arrived it was a very very large amount of money for heavily restricted API access. We had to drop the feature. I wouldn’t be surprised in Sony was offered a similarly unrealistic quote.

Opinions are my own.
Film cameras truly are a joy. I’m using a Minolta X-700[0] myself. I also review the photos taken with it far more than my digital photos. There’s something about slowing down and focusing on taking a few good shots instead of a quick action with minimal effort that feels so rewarding. And they can look beautiful with the right film. Enjoy your new camera in good health!

Do you know of any data source that stratisfies this by age group over a decently long period of time (say last 5 decades)? I would expect this number to take a nose dive as the ratio of retirees to works shifts towards retirees so i am not sure what conclusions i can draw from the data without some correction for retiree ratio.

For what it's worth, I'd love to know the answer to this. But I'm not as doubtful as you are, based on the (few) kids I know who do live in more walkable areas where they can see their friends in person without requiring an adult.

But your last paragraph seems to be once again missing the "takes as a given ... that the proximate cause of the issue is phone / social media centrism" part. Nobody in this thread has argued against that problem.

Math as prep for 3d game programming. I've been out of school a long time, and when I was there I didn't even get to the pre-calculus level.

This year I've churned through all the introductory level texts from Art Of Problem Solving. Yes, they're written for high schoolers and you need to have some humility to admit you might be missing or have forgotten some fundamentals, but the lesson strucutre really appeals to me. It's the only series I've found that respects the learner and really builds up knowledge one piece at a time.

Before I start the intermediate texts and the calculus book, I've taken a detour to "Linear Algebra: Theory, Intuition, Code" and it's sticking a lot better now than previous attempts on the subject. So that gives me some confidence.
Is it possible to automatically detect this has happened and help these poor humans? Why isn't this a thing?
