You make it inflationary. You reset the supply every year. You make it in a way that it is super easy to add companies to the list of approved minters, and let them mint whenever they want so that they can give to their prospects.

The token itself has no monetary value. I'm literally meaning it as a way to be an utility token, which is just another way to say "funny money".

The idea is just to have a way to avoid spam applicants. There will be no point in hoarding it, unless you are just trying to stop everyone else from ever submitting job applications.
I looked over the home page and even then I couldn't make sense of it. Calling something an "API client" or an "Essential Tools for API Development" is utterly useless; every piece of software is an "API client". Putting "keyboard shortcuts" as a marketing point on your home page isn't exactly helping things either.

It looks like it's another of those HTTP call generator tools, like Postman but online. I guess the target audience is people who consider "API" to mean "HTTP calls", which is why it took me so long to get it.

Looks like a decent alternative for Postman now that Postman is forcing their online sync stuff down everyone's throats.

I'm a Backend Developer and DevOps enthusiast with extensive experience in building scalable backend systems and managing cloud infrastructure. At Fluent, I architected a backend that efficiently handled over 50k installs, integrated complex payment flows, and ensured minimal downtime during critical errors. My time at SoFriendly was leading the development of DraftXR, a no-code platform for Figma to 3D VR environments, and playing a key role in its micro-acquisition.
I'm a gamer turned developer, with a knack for problem-solving and a passion for optimizing performance. I thrive in environments where I have autonomy and can clearly see the impact of my work on users, as it drives me to deliver high-quality solutions. I'm currently seeking new opportunities to bring my technical expertise and proactive approach to a dynamic team!

P.S - I have been working exclusively remotely for the past several years, which has honed my ability to communicate effectively and manage my time efficiently in a distributed work environment in multiple timezones.
> On the GMail side you'd just set it up to only forward things that have the subject line you want like "Rejected" etc.

Ah, ok. That's the part I missed.

I would still be a bit worried about the security of it all if this were a big company though, but it's maybe doable for smaller ones?
I'm not attacking your experience, in the end you got burnt by this (regardless of who was at fault) and that was your experience. That's fair.

That said, as other commenters have noted it wasn't an Apple issue. Nvidia shirked responsibility and Apple stepped up. This is one of the examples where Apple has earned their reputation for user experience and overall "premium" brand halo. They took the loss and replaced any failures related to this fiasco for six years - well beyond the standard warranty period.

In another comment I noted my very poor experience with Framework. It was so bad I basically do what you do and trash them at every opportunity - to me they deserve it. You obviously feel the same way from your Apple experience. The difference is in my case they took no responsibility whatsoever and I'm left with a nearly-useless $3k machine. That's buying first gen hardware from a startup for you, and I should have known better. You bought hardware from a leading and well established brand where this never should have happened. That's far worse.

I mentioned the ten years because a decade in the life of a tech company that has sold billions of devices across multiple product lines and generations in the meantime is (in my mind) a pretty weak argument and borderline irrational stance. You're holding on to a decade old grudge against a brand that has famously happy, dedicated, and loyal users. Apple isn't the most valuable company in the world because your experience is anywhere near typical.

I would hope that in ten years time (or sooner) I will have gotten over my issues with Framework (if they're still around) and would be willing to try them again. I guess we'll see if I'm able to let it go by then.
The toughening discussed in that article entirely applies to protections for children themselves on social media - requiring limits to stop them seeing harmful content.

An interesting debatable question, but not related to the encryption & communication security concerns being discussed here.

Also, from a political POV, they're clearly incentivized to say that what the government is doing is wrong, in all cases - that doesn't necessarily imply that's exactly what they'd actually do in practice (when they too would have to deal with industry backlash directly).

If they have publicly stated somewhere that they'd like to create tougher controls, banning or limiting security tools like encryption I'd be interested to see more information, but I haven't seen any obvious discussion of that.
This is nice, I'd like to know the changes you made.

I started a discussion on GitHub, I think the killer feature of QBasic and even more so QuickBasic was the help and reference.

Even the ASCII table was fun to look at and go grab characters, you could imagine something analogous for Unicode.

Similarly for all the stuff in there working out modern equivilents.

The annoying stuff was how much hassle it was to do extra things like handle the mouse pointer via assembly, it would be good if this has extensions for touch etc all documented.
It's possible to make encryption where "sufficient resources" is of the order of all the energy in the Sun until the end of time. That's not remotely breakable, even for the government.
It's all just numbers in a database, you can deal in as small a fraction of a cent as you'd like.
Scandinavian countries have a lot of trust in their institutions so I would expect that to happen there rather than in countries that have little trust in their institutions.
I'm guessing big corporations where it's near impossible to get a non-Windows machine are a big part of the audience.
Counter point: (I lived in apartments/condos for 20+ years)

I live in a SFH now, love that I can simply walk 5 feet from my kitchen to the back yard and have no noise and fresh air.

No noisy neighbors above me constantly dropping things on the floor, no smelly hallways, or people leaving garbage in common areas.

I don't have to wait for an elevator, or hope that it doesn't have maintenance issues.

Maintenance takes no hours a month other than a call to a handyman to fix various issues in the house.

I could go on, but to each their own, pursuit what makes you happy!
Nobody owns the air around you, whereas the cables and routers and switches your communication propagates through are owned by private corporations and by the state
There are definitely a lot of reckless cyclists, but it's worth keeping things in perspective.

According to the Department for Transport's report, there were 41 pedestrians and 7 cyclists killed in traffic collisions in Greater London in 2022. Pedal cyclists were listed as the "other vehicle" involved in fatal collisions 0 times, while cars were listed 39 times, and goods vehicles 23 times. As stated "other vehicles" does not directly describe who is to blame for a collision, but it's a proxy measure for it. https://content.tfl.gov.uk/casualties-in-greater-london-2022...
I've reflected long and hard on the same pattern of thinking in myself. Despite lots of downsides, it's been a hard thing to part with.

I think rooting my self-worth in competence is the only reason I've been able to achieve anything remotely worthwhile through a learning disability which affects focus and concentration. It's a great way to summon determination.

The downside of this way of thinking is that it ties one's internal qualities (which can always been controlled) through uncertain exterior outcomes (competence being measured by the capacity to affect a desired change within the scope of possibility). The consequence is an excessive degree of uncertainty in one's own skills, and assessments that are doomed to be imprecise because luck now uniquely has the ability to affect the outcome of a self-assessment of character.

I think what you're describing is that clowning moves the assessment to a more consistent measure (intent, divorced from outcome). Shifting from a consequentialist to a non-consequentialist perspective on the self is indeed a tremendous change. From the perspective of wellbeing, a non-consequentialist worldview is probably easier to reckon with over the long term because the outcome is more controllable.

Good on you. I'll have to put clowning on the bucket list.
Here's a conversation between two British comedians I enjoy talking about something very similar, you might enjoy it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqZZ9uXomhg
I'll use my limited knowledge earned by participating to pointless meetings (and interest meals) in Brussels, with bureaucrats, to explain how easy it is to prevent the QWACs part to be put into law.

There is a point you have to understand: European politics are not like the US. It's more 'representative' in the sense that you don't have hard party lines on 95% of the issues, and less because like 30% of the population vote. Still, MEPs can mostly vote as they like.

The bill isn't liked. All accross the parliament, individuals members will vote against. The far-right will vote against, as will most of the 'hard right'. A small part of the conservative right will also vote against: the issue is around the 'European identity' part of the bill (and lately some EPP people seem less federalist than they used to). 'The Left' (the party, hard left and associated) might vote against, they are big on privacy but also they see how the bill will help (not the QWACs part, the eID part) bureaucracy-adverse workers.

So now, the support: you have EPP, Renew, the socialists (forgot the group name) and the greens. It'll be impossible to convince Renew to drop the QWACs part. They are the 'liberal' right, but despite calling themselves liberals, they're not big on liberties, the party lines won't change. For EPP, you might convince one or two more, but the party line won't bulge (they are really friendly with the commission).

The two parties we can convince are the socialists and the greens. We need a center-left/green journal to push back on the QWACs part of the bill. The green might be hard to convince (they seems to have replaced most of their competent MPs with pro politicians in the last 10 years, it's hard to admit for me but I would trust an EPP member more than a green member right now), but we might make it.
So wait, let me get this straight:
- a guy with access to highest level state secrets discloses them to his family members and possibly journalists.
- he is shocked they investigated, surveiled and prosecuted him for this because of why?

Because, as the head of the intelligence agency he though the laws do not apply to him?

Now, other journalists are trying to write an extremely convoluted article about the subject.

Can you suggest me what else I should add? Thanks.

When I got my current job, I applied to only that one. It probably took less than an hour to put everything together and email the hiring manager.

The time before that, I think I applied to three places and got two offers.

So the "normal" approach has been quite good for me for the last seven years. My success rate is orders of magnitude larger than 20/5000.
You are correct. Those of us with moral values avoid this kind of work. Only the sociopaths do this kind of work. They only care about gaining power.

Maybe genetically modified pig organs will eliminate the supply shortfall in organs and get rid of the power trip these jokers enjoy so much.

memmove does not (in any implementation I’ve ever heard of) introduce an intermediate copy, it just performs the copy loop in the reverse direction to handle the overlap (and can’t always vectorize in the same way memcpy can).
> No electron app is a 16.5MB download.

The sad thing is that it definitely could be. If you install Bitwarden (an Electron based password manager) from the Arch user repos, Electron is a separate dependency shared with other Electron applications. This means Bitwarden itself can be downloaded in just 5.4 MB (compressed, of course).

Tauri is not that different, though its dependency is the system browser rather than the Electron framework itself. I think Tauri's approach is better, but a lot of Electron applications could be only a few megabytes in size if dependency management wasn't done so badly in modern software distribution.

Unsurprisingly, the Linux AppImage is 87MB in size because it comes with a runtime. There's a smaller (17MB) .deb file, but I don't see any references to a package repository, so I guess on Debian based systems it'll just make you download the .deb every time to install it manually.

> You cannot have both: privacy and safety, and lawful access for the government.

Pretty sure GP was putting "privacy and safety" together on one side vs "lawful access for the government" on the other.
You just pointed out how RIDICULOUS technology is in this aspect. The arms race started before AI -- if people had no computers to submit resumes, they might actually have to go in and TALK to someone...
As a relatively successful founder of multiple companies over decades, I cannot say I would like to do this. It feels like this will make you waste time on things that potentially take a very long time to learn and it might put you in a situation where a little knowledge is a dangerous thing when trying to interview/hire.

The original monotile paper https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.10798 mentions that (at the time that was written) the minimum number of sides had to be 5 <= n <= 13, but also that a smaller tile can't be a polykite like the hat; exhaustive search had shown that there were no other aperiodic monotiles (than the hat and turtle) with < 21 kites

But a correction: the basic shape of the spectre is 14 sides with 2 of them colinear. It's only truly aperiodic when you modify the 14 edges, making it clear it is 'really' 14 sided not 13.

Chances are it's just to install a BETTER adblocker...but even if not, YouTube is being greedy here. They could still make a fairly profitable site and compete based on features and usability, but instead they are maximizing their revenue at the cost of all else. They are greedy, and instead of having a thriving business, they are making the exact same mistake as cable TV providers: choking th life out of viewers with too many ads for short-term gain at the cost of longevity.

Frankly, in the past years, nothing makes me more sick that the pure greed of tech companies doing things just because they can, and Google and its employees are at the top of that list of those who make me wretch.
Thank you!

I've never thought of owing my career to BASIC being so accessible, but you're right, and it's a very beautiful thought.

I also wrote my first lines of code on QBasic 4.5 -- though my big teenage-years programming love was Turbo Pascal.
I would rather argue to add temp variables and name parts of the expression, so you can actually understand and communicate what this does.
That was the dumbest thing I've read all year!
I think the point is that there's little reason to trust that you would not simply be robbed either by them leaving the garage open, or robbing it themselves.

If Amazon want to leave packages securely, then I am more then happy for them to partner with mail carriers and other delivery services and come up with a common standard for an externally secure lockbox system*. But they're not getting an open door into my house.

The problem in the delivery space is everyone does whatever - there's no standard or common code for communicating secure delivery logic for a premises. You can come up with whatever and it just won't be used. But "give me access to inside your private property" is one of the more insane solutions given that a garage is not an unvaluable area, nor necessarily a non-hazardous one.
After determining what they do by going to the home page (postman/insomnia/bruno replacement), I saw the Google logo. Does Google seriously use such a product? These logo bars are really interesting, as everyone seems to have a different idea as to what they imply.
You're probably replying to the original comment from the wrong angle.

Cities are loud, cars are one (major) reason, but not the only one.

> But because they, especially QA & ops, tend to be viewed as lower on the hierarchy they often have lesser talent filling the ranks.

Geez ever wondered why? It is partly due to the "monkey" work that's required. I feel the "ops" world needs a heavy reset (may sound like broken record again: eliminate toil, eliminate side-effects, chicken/egg problems, test? what test? etc..). Geez and I wonder why positions at "FANG" like places require software engineers to fill in the ops work - the engineers, the thinkers and the leaders at these companies understood pretty early on the importance of "engineering" applied to these "ops" and "qa" disciplines.
Tactics tend to change in response to changes to the balance of violence. Hope we won't see these types of standoffs change to hostage situations.
I never had much problem with applications in the last, but in the last job search it was futile. I’m still just now getting rejections from jobs I applied to months ago which seem a perfect fit for my resume.

I even applied to a place I worked a ~5 years ago, which I got via cold application. Apparently I’m not good enough anymore because I couldn’t get past the filters.

I finally found a job through a referral. Oddly, it was working with tech I have basically no experience in and probably had the most awkward interview out of all the ones I ended up doing.
Have you read The Analytical Language of John Wilkins by Borges? It crops up here occasionally. If not, I'd totally recommend it.

When you draw up rules for an FAQ you're delimiting a box and saying "the stuff inside the box is part of my model, and the stuff outside it is not". The person suggesting you put advice about raising suckling pigs in your Emacs FAQ (picking the most extreme example I can think of) is suggesting you redraw the box - change the model. I'd still say the decision to redraw the model or not is a political decision. I'd also say that saying "no" is obviously the right decision. But still political.

I admit my definition of political (any action or decision that affects how people relate to each other or how resources and opportunities are allocated) is maximalist. We could, at root, be talking about different things.

My analogue is writing a thing that could draw numbers and print them (I think it was just using the PRINT SCREEN button?), but it would make every line squiggly to emulate my (very bad) handwriting.

I think my goal was to make it write my homework, so that it would still look like my very bad handwriting, but more legible?

Family didn't care, but a classmate was very impressed :P
"Keypad broken! Being fixed Thursday" would also work.

No one will ever question it.
I do agree overall with this! Houdini is a bit like a brick-wall at the very start for many people (myself included). However for the HN-crowd I'd expect it wouldn't really be heaps different to picking up a few (ok maybe 6) new programming-languages at once!?

However I also think that as long as you have some access to someone who knows Houdini well to unblock you when you get stuck on things (SESI support are actually very good for this!), and you're willing to stick with the learning even when it gets hard (there's a solution to many-a-problem that indie's might face available in Houdini.. and a platform to build further such solutions too - quite the carrot!). The return on investment-of-time can be very good indeed in my opinion.

Of course I do appreciate that for smaller projects there simply isn't any time available, at-all period! But I'd say it'd still be worth trying to shave some time off for this, especially if the will to make it work is there, and of course if you can get a license! (Indie lics are available and pretty cost-effective for what they can do though!).
That’s not bad either. One thing you get with Jetbrains which I don’t see there is the ability to use arbitrary npm packages to script pre and post response. There is some testing there but the features look fixed from the docs.
