Show HN: Co-founder Fit – find your ideal co-founder
I was playing around with Custom GPTs and made one that helps you find fit with an ideal co-founder. It asks you 10 questions compiled by Y Combinator and then evaluates your compatibility with other potential co-founders. Best part? It has long-term memory, so you can answer questions once and then check your compatibility with others multiple times, anytime. I know it was more of a 'nerdy' part rather than 'best'. Anyway, check it out and let me know what you think!

Inspired by the Co-founder Matching platform by Catheryn Li and the team.
Game development, particularly of that era, made the lion's share of sales in the first year or two after release. The fact that 32-bit was going to end was never going to be a relevant consideration. This isn't IBM fulfilling a 10 year service contract. They made a game that worked on Apple PCs that existed at the time, users bought it and it did. If the users wanted it to work 10 years later then they could always fire up a vintage Mac.
> most filesystems have an underlying file handle which allow opening the file directly (see name_to_handle_at(2)/open_by_handle_at(2) on linux, but other systems also have something similar it's just not necessarily exposed to userspace)

On Windows, access to this is controlled by the confusingly named "Bypass traverse checking" (aka SeChangeNotifyPrivilege) permission (see for instance https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/windows-blog-archive/... for some information about it; I recall once reading an article from either Raymond Chen or Larry Osterman explaining the naming of that permission, but can't find it at the moment).

No foot traffic, no discount
Oh for sure. Didn't mean to imply otherwise!
Interesting, I was thinking of the exact same thing. Glad to see it works!
Use multiple clusters for checking out upgrade path at least.

Plan regular upgrade so it's moved in small chunks and so that teams are aware of where they stand with APIs etc.
The GP is correct though. It steals your code.

If you’re willing to take a pay cut* or a title cut, it’s still not a particularly tough market, even with what’s seemed like worse job postings and… stringent ATS requirements (at least in data-adjacent roles). Aside from that, I’ve worked on my network and reconnecting with folks, in case I need favors. I’m batting 1.000 on referrals-to-interviews, so I’ve been working to maximize that potential/reach.

* My thinking was to treat the lesser role as a contract role while looking for something at the level I wanted. Provide value, do good work, but continue to apply/talk to recruiters/interview.
It is literally an advertisement for the Video Game History Foundation. This is their fundraising month and to help people understand the work they do and the importance of saving these artifacts, they are posting a new artifact every day this month.

That’s cute that you think it is a single department. Unless, you think this department is like the some KGB level group that then installs politikal officers within every other department to ensure the enshittification is being the best it can be.
I don’t think it’s actually too hard to find a job right now unless your only acceptable offer comes from FAANG or adjacent.

Yea, making 250k might not be an option while the market is down, but once things pick back up, you’re free to look around again.

Where I live (Netherlands), we still have an insane shortage of qualified developers. Some of the vendors we work with are overloaded with work because all of their clients need their services in lieu of staff.

Yeah, I don’t make 150k anymore like I did in the US South, but that’s a different conversation.

The jobs are out there if you want to do honest work for a fair wage. The unicorn startups will have money again when the economy picks back up.
Should they prefer the term stock of human resources?

Why do so many founders build for the US or with the ambition to go sell in the US? I get the consumerist culture, higher willingness to pay, etc, but there are so many other markets where you can build and sell much simpler products and dominate.

Why compete in the biggest pool when you can dominate a smaller one?
Arguably, the design of kubernetes is for clusters to be based on physical clusters - to the point of a cluster per aisle (or multiple aisles), and resources of those clusters then being used to deploy applications even across clusters. Or in the small, like Chick-Fil-A, with kubernetes running locally at every restaurant.
I've really, really tried to like GoLang. After 6 years of programming in it, I'm always looking for any opportunity to not use it. Anyone who's written a client library in Go will know what I'm talking about, it's incredibly inelegant. It's very hamstrung by the dedication "simple" which ironically leads to a lot of weird code (empty interfaces, etc) that's hard to explain for anyone not familiar with the language.
Efficiency is very important in electric cars, since it is directly related to the two main metrics that consumers appear to consider when buying an EV: cost and range. A more efficient car gets a higher range for the same battery cost or a cheaper battery with the same range. And it compounds: a smaller battery reduces weight, getting back some of the range lost by the smaller battery.

What is your stack? There are areas with more opportunities than others that may be worth considering a stack shift.

I have been in the market since 2006, and I have seen it go up and down; I've never been unemployed since, but I have close friends who run over one year without a job (In Brazil, we usually have financial crises here more often), at that time their option was to do freelancing for a while until they find another job.

I never felt "safe", having entered the market in 2006 and seeing very senior devs losing their jobs in 2008/2010; I founded a company in 2010 and run it up to this day as a side project (A SSAS for small business), of course, it takes time to build one of those (In my case it took over three years to get the first five customers, today we have more than 1k), and it is a counter sense to spend time building a business that will make you 2k UDS when in your work you can earn 5x that working on a company and having vocations. Still, it does pay off in times like this since I am not too worried if the marketing goes terribly; I can make a living with my side project.
You really should look into Singapore freedoms before making statements like that. There are several political philosophies in the world that are more restrictive than the social-democracies of the liberal democracies in the Nordic countries.

Singapore is effectively a one-party state. It is very orderly, tidy and disciplined. https://www.state.gov/reports/2022-country-reports-on-human-... In section 1.F) you'll see that citizens have weak/no privacy protections from the government. 2.A) Free speech is not really a big thing there. 2.B) Weak rights to peaceful assembly.
Back in 2010, while graduating in computer science I wrote an iOS app called "Ricarichiamoci" that allowed students of Pisa University (unipi.it) to recharge and manage their dining facility cards via mobile instead of queuing for 30 minutes in front of a few ATM-style recharging machines. The app scraped and submitted data via a form on the official facility company website (unusable on mobile)

The company lawyer called me and accused me of "hacking" their website and ordered me to shut down the app or I would be sued.
30 (very long) minutes later the CEO called me, apologised, and offered me a job as iOS engineer.

And this is how I landed my first job, and the one that shaped my career for the next 13 years.

Lessons from 5 years of running a tech meetup
bit of a surprise to see the article rendering it as "rode" and not "røde". I think usually im faily tolerant of dropping diacritics and stuff but in my mind that letter is such a big part of their branding it seems almost shocking to see it dropped
> When did we forget that biometrics were supposed to be a convenience and not a replacement for true authentication against any real adversary?

Before the first guy started implementing biometric unlock. If you can use it to unlock things, then it is an upper bound on the security level for whatever it can unlock.

> As the entire concept of using irreplaceable parts of yourself as key is broken since the start...

Yes, obviously. A password that can never be changed is a huge security downgrade from a normal password.
I thankfully still have a job, but even I'm a bit nervous. I've got a baby on the way and if something were to happen to my job, I'd be in a tight spot financially. I'm doing a few things to help prepare:

1. I'm actively working on this side project of mine, and I'm considering giving a talk about it at an upcoming conference.

2. I'm trying to practice leetcode and system design. I say "trying" because I find it's an incredible waste of time, and I hate it. But I don't want to be caught by surprise in a leetcode-style interview.

3. I'm trying to stay in touch with people I know in the industry. I hate networking, but as long as I stay friendly with past colleagues then I'm good.

4. I've been refining my resume over and over again, trying to make it as polished as possible.

These things generally make me feel a bit more likely to land on my feet. I still suck at leetcode though :p
If you read the NPR article, you’ll realize that the issue at hand isn’t about paying tax on income received, but rather, addressing the nuance to what should be defined as income. The Indian investor never sold his initial investment, but there were back door financial transactions that were all-but income, seemingly as a favor for being an east investor.
East end of Toronto (East York)

Pros:
- Great variety of foods around here (I love Hakka!)
- Relatively "affordable" where you can afford a semi or detached home (albeit it'll be 100 years old with a smaller backyard)
- Great walkability to small markets, restaurants, breweries and Lake Ontario
- Sense of community
- Pretty good transit for North America (24 hour street car, subway line and a local rail within a 5 min walk)
- Bike lanes becoming more common

Cons:
- Generally cold climate means a short growing season for my victory garden
- Our salaries lag our southern neighbours
- The health care system is showing signs of failing under pressure
Not semver-compatible.
"31 countries and economies maintained or improved upon their 2018 math scores, including Switzerland and Japan. Countries that did so shared some common characteristics, including shorter school closures during the pandemic and fewer impediments to remote learning, per the report."

Who could have predicted that lockdowns and Zoom class would have a negative impact on education? I'm shocked.
I don't see a slant other than quoting government officials on the impact of the tax laws they drafted, and their opinion on the impact of overturning those laws.

Aside from interviewing the judges potentially involved (which happens almost never?) what could they have done?
I think the more common one I've heard is "Why do you care about privacy if you have nothing to hide?"

In the case of 23andme, it's a perfect answer: We don't know what's hiding in our DNA and I don't know how people will use that against me in the future.

Chained Tables (For LLM Workflows)
> How does LLM get the data?

* Run database query to see where the type of scan is typically ordered (we know they can generate sql pretty alright)

* * Alternatively someone at one point needs to just make a list

* Call the office (voice conversations is clearly possible, it's a feature in chatgpt as an app)

* Receive fax

* gpt-4-vision or OCR then GPT-4 or however you want to interpret the data

It's not like it's not work to build something like this, but all the pieces are right there.
I don't see why a slow deployment cadence is a nightmare. When I've worked in that setting, it mostly didn't matter to me when something got deployed. When it did (e.g. because something was broken), we had a process in place to deploy only high priority fixes between normal releases.

Computers mostly just continue to work when you don't change anything, so that meant after the first week or so after a release, the chance of getting paged dropped dramatically for 3 months.
I've lived in four countries in all and am currently in Sweden. It's cold here too, but so many people exercise regularly in all seasons both inside and out. I believe this is also helped by the fact that it's very common for companies to provide a (tax-advantaged) health allowance that subsidizes things like gym memberships, fitness classes, race or other event entries, etc.
Only if a machine wants to read the business number, which it doesn't.
Is there an option to add new cluster with new version each year?

Keep 3-4 clusters. Deploy your new application with new addons in new cluster. Keep old application running on old ones.
Montreal.

Pros: housing costs much lower than other Canadian cities. Very easy to get around without a car (horrible with a car). Lots of varied, nice neighborhoods. Good food and restaurants, though I find there are some "deserts" with not much locally. Very safe compared to other cities. A good vibe of people enjoying life. Generally good for outdoor activities, between the mountain, running and bike trails, lots of parks. Decently close to some good provincial parks. I understand there is good nightlife but I'm too old to comment.

Cons are more subjective.
it is quite amazing that one technical decision on locking is responsible for most of windows' unfixable problems

I'm already a Linux user. That's your main problem here. Your inability to two view the issue as something other then black or white.

I'll let you in on the secret to finding a job. It's not about your skills really (maybe some), it's about who you know. If you're relying on only your skill to carry you through to finding a job, you're going to have a rough time. It's about who you know. You're looking for a job? Go to meetups, code and coffees, free tech seminars by companies etc. That's your job now. Connect with people on LinkedIn. There are very very few people that are good enough that someone will just hire them on their skills alone. Will you find the "perfect" job that you never want to leave and retire from? In all honesty, probably not, but that doesn't mean it won't lead to the next great opportunity.
My wife was laid off and has been looking for a QA job for a few months now. The market is surprisingly tight. She found new jobs quite easily then.
Can they perform the calculations to estimate the fluctuations? Can they write an informal explanation about what happens to the gluons? I think the experience of seeing a factoid on the internet is being given too much weight here.

By stopped cold you mean "there are actual real world self driving cars delivering actual real world passengers in select locations"?
Just upgrading the kernel on one of those "LTS" systems so that developers could start being ready for a kernel that wasn't 3.10 (and it turned out that core component of our app crashed due to... memory layout bug that accidentally worked on old kernels)...

I had to start by figuring all bits necessary to build not just kernel, but also external modules and attendant tools, using separate backported compiler because then-current LTS kernel wouldn't compile using distro-supplied GCC.
1. Have a financial buffer if you can, the bigger the better, being able to wait it out is the ultimate protection, but increasing your runway by any amount increases your options and helps with the nerves.

2. Work on your network, talk to recruiters, peers in the industry, you can even do some interviews to practice. Not only might it help you if you need a new job, it gives you a taste of the actual situation, it might be better than expected or you know better what to prepare for and what you can work on.

3. Be open to freelance work and shorter projects.

4. Work on your skills, tune them to where the jobs are, build projects. Widen your skills with new topics/languages/frameworks/areas and get deeper expertise in your main area. Get your confidence back.

5. Start a company, but that is a lot more risky, and comes with a bunch of anxiety on it's own. It is also a lot of fun, I am enjoying it.

I think you need to do a good objective evaluation of your situation. Anxiety often comes from uncertainty, you might find it's not as bad as you fear it is, or you learn what you need to do. It sounds like you have a job, have experience, so you might be fine while just continuing to do what you do.
The US has been gently crumbling under its own weight since approximately 1970. You'd get more out of rebuking the politicians who took the wealth of a pre-eminent superpower then flubbed it. You might not like Trump. But the generation of politicians that are being rebuked by the voters who gave Trump power were outdone by literal communists when it comes to creating wealth. The lion's share of real growth from the last 30 years seems to have been in Asia.

It is easier to follow "norms" when they don't involve blowing a lot of money on foreign wars and with limited results to show for it. It says a lot about how people rate the last few decades that figureheads of that generation of political leadership like Hilary Clinton or Joe Biden are struggling mightily to outpoll Donald Trump. My read is almost anyone with a record in office is unelectable. How norms will survive that sort of failure is anyone's guess (as is whether they should survive).
I’m not disagreeing with you! I don’t really understand why people wanted it — it wasn’t what the machine was designed for.

I mean, I do understand (but disagree with) the specific use case at NASA where I encountered it: the CFD would run all night (or longer) and when done the files went to some Irises for visualization, which also took forever. So running the same source code (basically rsync iirc) sounds easier in theory. But at what cost? I think it would have been better to just write the transfer code to run under Cray OS.

And indeed, once unicos was on the machine people did want to run it interactively.
Yes, and that is indeed what we did. But what happens is you end up with a backend awkwardly fragmented into restframework viewsets and normal Django views. Often you end up having to maintain both. And then your frontend is in two distinct "worlds" which are developed in completely different ways. Unless you finally get to having an SPA and only JSON on the server side you'll feel forever in limbo. HTMX just makes so much more sense for an existing Django project unless you can afford to stop development and go all in on React, and even then only if it's really necessary to have an SPA.
It's heartwarming to see these people have fun while still sticking to serious work. Everything should be like that.

I grew up with a terrible anxiety about money. To combat it, I’ve spent my career living a lifestyle as if I made half the income that I do. As a result the job pool that would allow me to maintain my family’s current standard of living is considerably larger. It also means I feel less dependent on keeping my job and have years of runway savings.

The consequence is that unlike most of my peers, we only have one car, it’s not fancy, vacations are in-province, and we don’t spend on things teenaged me craved like a gaming PC or a Lego hobby. The kids want for nothing, though. I’m very thankful to have a partner who is deeply aligned on this philosophy.

I think there’s no “right” answer. I can hear people saying to should enjoy things while young. But I’d pay almost anything not to feel that anxiety ever again.
All is well. How are you doing? I'm thinking of skipping Windows 11 and going to Debian or Ubuntu. My PIII problem was that the CD-ROM drive was not supported by Linux, so I had to buy a Sony drive.

I got Ubuntu on a laptop and Virtual Box on my Windows 10 PC. I am slowly getting better with it. All I had to do was avoid IWETHEY and investigate on my own.

The problem is you can't "stack shift".

I mean, of course you can, we know that if you know some programming languages you can pick up another language, if you know an HTTP router you can learn another, a MySQL expert can learn PostgreSQL, if you know React you can learn Vue and so on.

But you won't get through the HR filters unless you have the magic n years' experience. Once you learn that stack in your junior years, you are stuck on that path for the rest of your career.

Of course it wasn't always thus, but like so much of the industry, common sense went out the window some time ago.
No, but I bet we would still have personal computers and smart phones without Steve Jobs.

That's the argument against the "great man" idea. Sure, specific events would not have happened without that person, but the overall state of the world would not be drastically different.

AFAICT, the test was without preconditioning, which is silly because preconditioning is crucial for getting fast charging speeds. It's also unrealistic, because preconditioning is pretty much automatic so I've never supercharged without preconditioning.
Well there is one bit about a tax on a one-time transfer of wealth out of the country, and (correct me if I'm wrong here) the value of the transfer seemed to be the value of the stake in the company, not the value of the initial investment.
Don't tell Kurzweil.
Have they used these sorts of databases to charge things other than murder and rape? The cases I have seen solved by way of this technology, I would very much feel glad that something I did led to stopping someone doing seriously bad things.
