where does one find recruiters?

recently someone gave a talk about this topic, and he explained how he was not afraid of using recruiters or agencies, regardless of the cut they take. but he could not answer the question on how to actually find good recruiters.
Currently, the iOS app only allows downloading the 7B Llama 2 Uncensored model on iPhone 13 Pro and newer phones and also Apple Silicon iPads. I'm working on an update to allow downloading multiple models from the StableLM 3B, Llama 2 7B and Mistral 7B based models. As before, due to memory and compute constraints, 7B models can only be downloaded on the aforementioned devices.
that part refers solely to gratuitous use of extensions in the code, it does not refer to things like cgroups for which there are no portable equivalents, or anything else that is required to implement useful functionality and has no portable counterparts
One key point: "the state’s power grid operator, enjoys sovereign immunity"
Yeah pretty interesting.

Personally I never liked systemd because I just didn't see the need for it and I don't like changes forced on me. I'm not a team player and I hate being told to 'just go with the flow'. The whole idea of FOSS for me is to be in control of my computer. Alnd I just don't like the character of Poettering and yes that matters. For a much more extreme example look at ReiserFS. It was totally shitcanned after it turned out its creator was an actual murderer.

Of course Poettering is nothing close to that and his biggest fault is being a little socially abrasive and opinionated. I'm just more sensitive to this than others. But I just really hate optionated software.

This probably makes me a "systemd hater" that the article speaks off. I understand as my concerns are indeed a bit petty. But they're mine anyhow.

In the end I moved to BSD. I'm very happy with it now. They don't have the push to constantly changing stuff around for the sake of things like systemd and net-tools.
Thus they are free to sell spot power at 10-100x the rate - as they did...

I think more like tools for a language tend to be written in that language. Obviously the author needs to care enough about the target language and if they support plugins then it’s also desirable for the plugins to be written in the target lang.
Why tho?

I also find it odd we don't utilize the postal service more. They already visit every house 6 times a week.
>Of course this presents an opportunity to form a new state in a more desirable configuration for involved parties.

Or more likely you will end up governed by monopoly corporations.
Maybe that is true, maybe not. Maybe the inverse is true, maybe not. Either way, you're asking about a security consideration, so I guess I must repeat this a third time:

===> Security considerations and guarantees for Palestine and Israel from each other don't come until after that goal [of stopping ongoing civilian casualties happening as we speak] is achieved. <===

For now, please take the time to read the post you just responded to, as it directly addresses that subject, and you seem to have ignored it, based on your lack of answers for the 2 questions contained within, and your 2-sentence reflexive reply to a multi-paragraph post.

How could 2 sentences contain a thoughtful response? In this case, they don't. If you read the whole post, your reply will contain 2 yes-or-no answers. If not, it won't. Please read the whole post before reflexively responding again.
“Politics”

35 years in the semi industry. I must be stupid. I really don’t see politics. I see people trying to argue for their option and get support. But I’ve never seen this politics that people complain about. I’m so lucky I guess.

Is politics just someone making a better argument that is the wrong technical decision? What is “politics”?

Or am I just not at a high enough level (senior principal)?

i am doing neither, because i find the effort i need to put in to find work is already taking all the time i have available, and the effort of applying for small jobs on upwork is not in line with the payout. if i have to spend 20 hours to get a 20 hour job for 50$ per hour, then my effective pay is 25$ per hour. i can't live on that.

This is really what I thought "defund the police" was all about.

You don't send people with guns drawn to someone if you suspect they might kill themselves by hanging themselves in their own home.

We can't rely on informal / social structures though.
Maybe the old person is like that old man from the Disney Pixar movie up who refused to sell his house.
If your neighbors resent you, it doesn't mean you must die.
Kinda? Fire service is not provided everywhere. Some cities you have to hire your own / purchase a plan. Granted a lot of cities just factor it into taxes but it's not a mandate to provide.
And that’s the problem. It’s not the ID checks, it’s the ability to scale. Check it at the door? Fine. Scan it and keep it forever (perhaps selling it on at a later date)? Not fine.

Personal Data has to be treated as a liability, but too much of the economy treats it as an asset.

> I don't see how replacing the "it works on my machine" with "it works in this VM" is much better. It is the same problem.

I can run a VM on both my machine and yours.

> You just added the overhead of running another whole computer in your computer to solve it.

A VM hasn't had the overhead of running a full computer in a long time. Depending on your platform, containers (or hyper-V) are near-native performance. And let's be real, when your dev environment is spending 45 minutes running eslint, a 1-2% overhead isn't going to make or break you.

> Also the author states he is locked into using VS Code, which seems like a risky dependency to have.

Lockin isn't a binary bad thing. Flexibility isn't free. Supporting every possible workflow in every possible environment ends up with catering lowest common denominator, which sucks. If VSCode dies, I'll move onto a replacement, just like I did when we (thankfully) decided eclipse was to go to the farm.

Maybe I'm nuts, but the start menu's web search results seem to ignore default browser settings and only open in Edge.

Event better: I had a period of time where Edge would freeze before showing any content. So clicking a web result from start menu would just open an empty, unresponsive window. Windows would then tell me the window is unresponsive and ask if I want to kill it. Classic Microsoft quality. It's like that old org chart meme where Microsoft's departments are pointing guns at each other, played out directly in the OS, Conway's Law style. Very amusing.
Best PMs know both the what, why and how and tries to bridge all that.

It may include knowing technical weaknesses and strengths in the energineering teams abilities and their plattforms abilities and weighing that in for planning and priorities. In reality development in product that are over the teams abilities may lead to a real mess.
Politics is what happens when you have limited resources and you need to decide where to allocate them. Politics are everywhere humans are.
Totally agree! I came from macOS and I like modern Gnome 45 even more the one I used back in 2008, v.2 or something like that.
I don't believe in Product Managers or Project Owners as a net good towards building a better product or a better company.

The most successful teams I have been in had no dedicated product role, instead, all decisions were made by the developers.

My current view is best to remove all type of non technical people or even mildly technical people from the developers' way and let them build in peace.
I think externally it's tempting to see Google and Apple's app marketplaces as the same thing, but that is more indicative that one's experience is merely as a user.

Despite both presenting similarly to users, they're operated differently and each has different objectives and challenges - that's where the evidence in this case was centred.

Both stores are successful and desirable but that is not criminal - one has to prove that these came about from illegal activity, in many cases this has to be shown as deliberate, because it is trivial to attribute any and every action to malice if one is willing to ignore all evidence to the contrary.

About that: some voices in HN (and theverge.com) are particularly two-faced this way, willing to be generous with one company's intentions while being unyielding and conspiratorial with others. The courts aim to be consistent this way (precedence is their foundation) - and this often doesn't gel with oft-repeated ideals that really aren't anything more than fan fiction.
Reminds me of the Ali G skit
The impression I get from friends living in TX who have been sympathetic to TX for their entire lives, is that it's been a slow process working towards effectively only having behavioral laws for poor people.

And yes, a common trope of their complaints is a kafkaesque system where it seemingly exists exclusively to be underfunded, under performing and practically intended to breed more resentment from the general population so that they're more amenable to just completely dismantling the civilian system altogether since they now see no incentive or convincing argument for it.

It's genuinely scary. Especially since you get to pretend like you're trying and the system just doesn't work, so we need to get rid of it to "save money".
Pretty much all of Dutch society (trains, highways etc.) shuts down every couple of years due to something that would be considered light snowfall further north in Europe.

The temperature in Texas reliably doesn't go below freezing, except in freak weather events such as these. That's why they had water pipes exploding everywhere.

So I think this is analogous to the Netherlands having a week of >40°C weather (>105°F).

Sure, you could blame the government for some of the resulting chaos, but it's also partly the freak event itself.

Most of the people that died in that event in Texas would be alive if they had sufficiently warm clothing. Is that entirely the fault of the government?

In most new construction, the postal worker no longer comes to the home or apartment.

They use something called a clusterbox. This is only applicable to the US but my understanding is that the postal service has strict limits when it comes to hiring full time workers. Something about having to account for full benefits or some act of Congress that I don't understand. But the net effect is your postman/post woman likely doesn't know you besides your name.

The real problem is the printer makers want to make printers as cheap as possible and sell lots of ink to rake in the $.

An actual good printer would have enough compute (Raspberry Pi would be sufficient) and storage (a small ssd) to handle the task by itself. Then printing is nothing more than copying a file to the printer.

It's bizarre though; despite the apparent lack of friction I don't know anyone who uses RCS or SMS (and frankly I'm unimpressed by its design - why involve carriers at all? Your mobile network should be dumb and provide you with a simple, neutral, fast and unmetered TCP/IP connection. RCS also launched without E2E encryption. Frankly the whole protocol seems like garbage to me and nobody in the UK cares about it, there are countless messaging apps to choose from that architected this properly, that are unrelated to your mobile carrier).
Politics is a when a company like Caterpillar spends a year trying to acquire GPU's for their autonomous vehicle teams, because they have 20 security and project managers that want to assert themselves in every conversation to get promoted, to get to senior leadership positions, while the company looses out to Chinese competitors they were ahead of.

Politics is also when middle managers and 2 engineers conspire to steal a coworkers work to get promoted and move up the silicon valley startup ladder, so that the company has to come back a year later to bring back the original engineer, because none of these people were capable.

If you haven't seen politics you might have been either blessed or didn't want to see it, but for every 1 company I worked with that was efficient I worked with 4 that were not.

Quality of writing and quality of imagery varies a lot. It’s hard to do.
In that scenario, who is driving product requirements?

For example, in an area with strict financial/regulatory compliance laws, are you expecting every engineer to be an expert in those laws? And have contacts at the government agencies implementing those policies?
Unlikely. You underestimate the compounding effect of weathering, oxidation, and the movement of the earth itself.
Creating laws and regulations that tell power companies they need to design their systems do they don't fall over when it's cold out is a way for the community to handle this particular problem. Arguably a more effective and scalable solution than individually checking on elderly neighbors. We're not a nomadic hunter gatherer society any more, we have better tools to make sure everyone is taken care of. In the 21st century, having to check on your neighbors when it's cold out so they don't die is a societal failure that we should be doing everything possible to fix.
I always thought they used more timing & mouse movement instead of correct answer to verify if your a human.
Some painpoints wrt DevPod:

In order to get devpod ssh to work, DevPod injects itself into your host machine (where all the devcontainers run). When you ssh into your devcontainer, devpod's ssh implementation acts as a proxy into the container, allowing you to get an in-container shell without having to run sshd inside the container. But people are already injecting VS Code into remote machines, so maybe this doesn't matter to you.

DevPod's ssh implementation does not handle newlines properly; full-screen displays can get garbled on many terminals. But most DevPod users are using the terminal inside VS Code, which seems to work fine.
That’s a different matter. Those sued in this case no longer had the ability to generate power at all and therefore weren’t selling at any price.

It's possible you've never worked with politically minded people but I doubt it. It can be as small as an engineer broadcasting how hard a problem is before solving it. If they do that, they get the kudos for doing it. If they don't, it just gets done unnoticed.
English has the same word but they put one more letter in it.
That's a very based take!

The whole idea of a PM boils down to address a less qualified non technical middle man to make all the important decisions, while also pigeon hole your communications with the rest of the stakeholders.

Why does this role even exist is beyond me.

It's like we can't trust the engineers with any important decisions, so we need some business guy who took a two week course and now is suddenly qualified to be calling all the shots.
Oh thank you guys, I was worried the hacker news crowd has become that incompetent to start praising Manjaro.
I kinda feel obligated to point out that this is another orphan crusher machine thing. In most countries fire service is just provided everywhere.
Yes to this. Too many people complain about politics as if it is some “outside” force and not simply implicit in the way that human beings organize diversified interests. Since each of us can only embody our own world view, politics is inevitable.

I understand that what people typically mean is people who are “too political” where the pushing for interests stops being in service of some goal and starts to become its own point. But in trying to avoid the appearance of that, too many people fail to engage in any politics and in doing so actually cause more harm than good to what is important to them by missing the important point that it’s incumbent to speak up for things you need and believe in because people who allocate resources may have insufficient knowledge or insufficient time to dedicate to knowing your work that intimately.
Not currently, but it was initially built with that in mind. Namely, i used web extension polyfills to unify the extension API of Chrome and FF. However, while trying to achieve MV3 compatibility I used chrome-only APIs because the polyfills made debugging more difficult.

It will take a bit of work to support FF, but not too much work
would like to know more about risks, any books you could suggest ? thanks.
> You just added the overhead of running another whole computer in your computer to solve it.

Yeah? And? Containers are an easy way of solving the problem of getting a known configuration for everything from the OS on up. You are wasting time and money not taking advantage of that.

> Also the author states he is locked into using VS Code,

You're a professional. Use what your coworkers are using (75% of professional devs are using Visual Studio Code). If you have Vim muscle memory, that can be accommodated quite well with extensions. Otherwise, just fucking switch already, you'll save yourself time and pain.
At least that would still be a proper CAPTCHA, in that it tells computers and humans apart…
I wonder what the author might suggest as an appropriate ratio of PMs to engineers might be. I generally like 1 per 10 person team. I also like the idea of not having a separate product tool but have yet to see a good tool that can satisfy software project management (eg Jira, Linear) and product ops (product board, Airtable).
Just as Turing intended?
All those jobs do look the same because they are all bullshit jobs which infantile developers assuming they can't do and decide anything for themselves but write code on command.

You need the user to select paper trays, simplex or duplex, etc. For bigger devices that might include document finishing options. Label printers might have a guillotine. Print/release where you need a pin at the printer to release the document are becoming more prevalent.

All this requires some interaction with the user. IPP Everywhere covers a lot but I'm guessing there will be some niche requirements that it misses.

There is no scanning, just put your clothes in the basket, confirm the purchase list and pay.

The key to this being possible is the price of RFID tags, as the article mentions - "The cost of RFID tags has fallen from as high as 60 cents a tag a few decades ago to about 4 cents a tag"
I also don't know much, but my limited understanding is that every transaction/mutation in a dApp has a cost, so this might be useful to reduce bot incentives.
My family has an HP printer. My father uses Windows, and has had to install an HP app to scan documents. My Mac, on the other hand, can connect, print, and through the built-in "Printers & Scanners" panel in System Settings, or through the Print Center app.

I think this is probably a solved problem. Windows would have to support whatever API Macs use.
