> in the sense that the limitations and exclusions of the language design were precisely what made compact implementations possible and widely successful.

All of the Pascals that were widely successful extended the language in key ways. I was an initial fan of Pascal, until I discovered that a large amount of my time was spent trying to work around limitations of the language.

With C, those workarounds disappeared and I was far more productive.

(I know C compilers always have numerous extensions, most of them of dubious value, but still, plain C remains a far, far more useful language than the Pascal of "Pascal User Manual and Report". Which is why C buried Pascal.)

Sounds like quite a broad brush. As a former Trump voter (to my shame), I realized he's a broken clock that can be right once in a while; yet still such a profoundly net negative that I'd rather he be in jail than in office.

In particular I'm most against his record of sexual assault, association with predators, peeping at young pageant participants, boasting about such things, bending the law and policy to benefit his friends, praise for despots, his demand for loyalty over talent, and racist commentary.
It's darkly amusing that, at least for me and others on this thread, keeping the "GE" brand label is probably costing them sales. I also wouldn't even glance at a GE-branded home appliance if I were in the market, on the assumption it was cost-cutting trash, but if it's true that a different company has bought the brand and is making good stuff under it, now suddenly I might be interested. Which is the opposite of how buying the rights to a "classic" brand is supposed to work.
For those suggesting VPSs instead of cloud based solutions, how do you deal with high availability? Even for a small business you may need it to stay up at all times. With a VPS this is harder to accomplish.

Do you setup the same infrastructure in two or more VPS instances and then load balance? (say, [1]). Feels a bit of an ... artisanal solution, compared to using something like AWS ECS.

In graphics programming, immediate mode is the legacy, manual way of drawing.

You'd have code that would "draw thing 1", move, then "draw thing 2".

Modern pipelines instead have you upload your vertex data to the GPU and write shader code that tells the system how to draw it. They become managed by the GPU and your code cares less about explicit drawing.

Another way to look at this is that "immediate mode" feels much more imperative than the modern asynchronous graphics pipeline. You tell the system to draw or render something, and it immediately does so.

This post has another good explanation with simple code:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6733934/what-does-immedi...

It's much easier to wrap your head around immediate mode though, and several tools with this imperative/immediate philosophy (such as imgui) are popular.

Edit:

Here's a fantastic comparison: https://cognitivewaves.wordpress.com/opengl-vbo-shader-vao/

(I clicked it, just to be sure; in each case, I went to what appeared to be [retailer].com, and the legitimate site of the owner of that brand.) In each case, the result was an organic (i.e., non-ad) result; there were no ads on these queries.

For the concept of R&D to mean anything, the D has to imply development in the sense of translating the R part—research—into prototypes or new products. It can't just be classifying every web developer in the organization as part of the R&D department, even if they're a junior dev changing button labels on internal accounting software. Not saying that Amazon is using the term the way I'd like, just that if they aren't, my English degree is going to start smoking and vibrating.

It's absolutely random trivia. These particular four elements don't need closing, except this one might if it's not followed by one of this other long list of possible elements. Why would you ever know (or care about) that unless you enjoy memorizing random lists (I'll bet the reason it's those four is edge cases in a parser that someone wrote in a couple of hours 30 years ago, not any sensible logical classification), or already know the HTML spec because you work as a designer or something?
I've hired a maybe 10 devs in the last couple of years at a variety of levels, and this CV doesn't help much - it might get to a maybe pile, but there are a bunch of relatively small changes that I think would help:

1. Where are you? You should at least have your town or city on the CV unless you're in transit -- we're open to candidates that are moving, but local candidates usually get bonus points as things are just easier.

2. The CV is so compact it's hard to pick a career progression - it all looks static, and I'm not seeing any evidence of moving from entry level coder to picking up SW design skills to mentoring - it's all just 'created'. Some position titles might help here, plus some little details on how the role worked, not just the technologies (which I'd incorporate into each bullet point, rather that list at the end).

3. A summary that says in 25 words or less what sort of person you are, and what sort of role you're looking for - you might need a couple of variants for creative vs square jobs.

4. From 2 & 3 above, I'm not getting a sense of your personality and how you'd fit into a team.

I'd go for a 2 page CV with a little more room for extra things.

Ask HN: Do companies hire principal and staff level engineers from job postings?
I'm in the same hole as a ton of other people in Canada and the U.S, such that I'm unemployed and prospects are nil. What I'm seeing is that most companies, if they have any postings, have chosen to only advertise positions for people who are comically well-decorated; Principal engineers with 10 years of experience, plus the masters degree, plus a bunch of specific cloud orchestration, scalable systems, or other devops experience that just seems entirely impractical to accumulate without simply advancing at the same company or FAANG for 15 years, which seems itself to be an unachievable tenure in this millennium.

I've been some kind of software developer for nearly 10 years, not all in a professional capacity and I don't claim that, but I'm not qualified for these positions; I just don't really have any other option but to chance it.

My question is, are qualified people actually hired through this channel, or are these postings just a formality so they can bypass some bureaucratic requirement?

Edit: Is it worth spending the time on a decent cover letter that indicates I'd be interested in discussing a lower seniority position if they don't consider me qualified for the Staff or higher? Also, this isn't relegated to startup land, more traditional online retailers, and others who's core competency isn't necessarily software
I was looking for 8 months until I found something. Most of the time, I wasn’t even making it to a tech screen.

Similar to you, I chatted to companies who were looking for concrete experience doing exactly the one thing they were currently working through. And the rug was pulled out from underneath me a few times.

It’s brutal out there, and it will fill anyone with self doubt. The only positive thing I can say is that interviewing for my new role felt normal and nice—the way I thought it’d be. That at least made me feel a lot better about myself.
How can AI be unethical? There's eigen-values everywhere!

They don't. Yes they might get slower as newer software imposes higher demands on less-capable hardware. But they shouldn't freeze.

That sounds like a faulty hardware issue, or, more likely, a configuration issue.

Once upon a time, the saying was "If you want to speed up a slow machine, throw more RAM at it" as more RAM meant less slow swapping/caching to slow hard-drives.

No. Fat, in particular, has been blamed for the illnesses caused in fact by sugar and by hydrogenated oils (called "trans fat" on US food labels). Most people still believe that saturated fat is the cause of those illnesses, and still prefer "low-fat" food laced, instead, with sugar.

Technically, trans fats were supposed to be banned in US food, but major corporations get from the FDA a "temporary exception", year after year, to put it in anyway, with no requirement to reveal it as "trans fat" on the label. It has been well-known as a major cause of heart disease since the '70s, but took until late in the last decade to get (technically) banned.

> you are suggesting that it'd be the other way around, and I don't see why that'd be the case.

That's just what I observed, and I concluded from the observations that Smalltalk - like Python - must be more difficult to JIT compile than Self or JS for some reason. I asked Stefan Marr for his most recent measurement results, and he was so friendly to post some reports: https://github.com/smarr/are-we-fast-yet/issues/85. As it seems the Graal/Truffle based implementation of SOM (a Smalltalk dialect) is now as fast as Node.js (V8), at least the AST version on the Graal enterprise edition; the Graal community editions of the SOM VMs are still slower though (about the same performance as Cog/OpenSmalltalk by estimate).
