You think this is restricted to US manufacturing? It's the "Organic" everything of today.
I try to treat people who report to me as I’d want to be treated. And that’s tough truths, delivered gently and with compassion, along with the path out.

It’s like finding someone who’s lost, but doesn’t know it. Letting them continue on unaided is callous. Calling them an idiot for getting lost is unhelpful. Giving them a map and checking in with them is the decent thing to do.
It has no good ideas. All the ideas that appear good are taken from agile, which 20 years ago WAS good. But then the process managers came in, the management seeking clarity on delivery dates, and engineers who got into it for a good job seeking ways to avoid doing real work because they’re actually not into engineering. It’s a morass of everything awful about stupid management cargo cult bs meant to emulate but not understand excellent engineering culture, with roles meant to keep project managers employed, and overriding everything stupid “rituals” to try to measure velocity and delivery dates for leaderships need to control. It delivers none of what agile promises because it is satisfying the needs that makes waterfall so slow.
It's a game of telephone, the fewer intermediaries the better.
It depends what business you're in. If you're a company making yachts, supercars, or private jets, then owners consume much more than workers.

As wealth shifts to fewer hands, companies making mass-market goods are forced to drop prices, squeezing their margins and forcing consolidation and further automation, as the buying power of the customer base disappears. Investment capital shifts into the luxury sector where demand is growing, and prices and production quantities increase.

More and more of the economy gets dedicated to serving the needs of the wealthy (which is essentially what what it means for the rich to get richer).

HTMX has existed for nearly a decade (prev. intercoolerjs); 1cg has proven to be extremely invested in it, and the whole philosophy around it in general (even being in charge of an "Hypermedia Research Group" at Montana university). To dismiss all of the credibility he has created with his work just because the guy wants to be funny on twitter is nothing short of stupid.

Does it look like Sütterlin? Are you familiar with it?

if it's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sütterlin I doubt anything trained on current script would make any more sense of it than we do
For only 200 pages, I’d farm it out to humans.
If it's organized, but what if it's just an unspoken rule in the industry? The result would be an unchanging status que with little innovation.

If this were true I'd expect to see industries where innovation usually comes from new companies in the market. The existing companies have stopped trying, stopped competing, and thus you only see innovation from new companies. Do we see this pattern often?

My point is the number of competitors is less important than how easy it is for new competitors to enter.
> There are many reports of the spotted water hemlock’s use as a suicide tool among the Iroquois nation; the most commonly cited occasion is upon the discovery of marital infidelity. There are plenty of other ways to take your own life; the spotted water hemlock is specifically chosen because it causes the most horrible, painful death possible.

why would they go for the most painful death possible?
> Previous performance is not an indicator of future performance.

If you're not using previous performance to guess at future performance here, then a reasonable assumption would be that Boeing 737s perform at industry averages. All the known issues will have been fixed and the planes checked for other ones.

> For those living on different continents to their family it is a necessity,

It literally isn't.

And if plane flight vacations aren't a luxury, what is? Are we going with a luxury being anything that you can't afford, perhaps? If everything you can afford is a necessity then I can see this line of argument making sense. And I don't know many poor people with family spread over multiple continents, that tends to be a marker of relative affluence in my experience (much like plane flight). If you feel a need to walk away from a luxury, you can. It doesn't hurt.
how would releasing an app on a 3rd party app store that Apple has no control over be "fooling" Apple? I'm suggesting theZuck continues releasing apps on the Apple store just like now playing by whatever rules the app store comes with. At the same time, releasing a different app on 3rd party stores that does the things that Apple prevents. What are you confused by to think they are trying to fool Apple?
My dishwasher uses 1kwh of power per load, thats hardly worth capturing

Shower tho… esp if you purchase ready made shower capsule that does not require external hot water supply and produces it’s own from recycled water? That might be the one.
Don’t forget red rice!
Rice is crazy and my old
ideas of wetlands and white rice have been crushed by reality.
I’m very curious to see if/how Apple will “bully” anyone who installs apps from a 3th party AppStore - in other words, nudge them back to Apple’s native AppStore.

Much like how Spotify has been painful to use the past 10 years, compared to Apple Music, for example. AirPlay did work in Spotify, but not natively on the HomePod like Apple Music, etc.
DSMO is a solvent, a byproduct of wood processing. It can assist some molecules in passing through skin.

Please note, it does not grab bacteria and pull it through skin, that’s FUDD. They are far, far too big for that. It is in fact studied as an adjuvant for antibacterial agents, as it can help antibacterial compounds penetrate bacterial biofilms.

There is evidence that alone it may assist some viral activity, likely by effecting something in regards to RNA. Conversely, it may help the activity of antiviral agents by helping them penetrate deeper, preventing the strategies viruses use to hide from being as effective.

I personally have no reservations to its use on skin, so long as the area is washed. Basically don’t work on your car and then apply it to your oily hands.
I trust cloudflare far less than AWS. Once my data is in AWS all applications in the same region as the data can use the data without paying anything in transfer costs.

Also, the prices he quotes are label prices, if you are a customer and you pre purchase your bandwidth under an agreement, it gets _significantly_ less expensive.
> The traditional wisdom that I'd read repeatedly until last year was job experience triumphs college and the opportunity cost is not worth it which is why I took the job

That is with the assumption have to take out a lot of student loans for tuition.

> Would you say this is still the case considering the events of last year? Does the compensation and tax differential across the pond make the investment worth it to join the US labor pool down the line?

A lot of people say yes, including Europeans.

I am an American and from what I heard American degrees are very valuable across that small pond. Get your education. A bachelor's is the basic minimum. If your college offers a masters in some tech with a similar ride, take it as well.
Attempts to frighten people with bullshit rarely work for long then backfire.
Here's the philosophical conundrum: Do we prioritize learning new things (improve craft) or create value (build stuff)? The first used to lead to the second, but not as much anymore.
I'd guess that the tokenizer is just different and handles this in a "better" way.
Prioritize some work you can tell good stories about in behavioral interviews.

If you have a conflict with a coworker, for example, that's something you will be asked about. Instead of avoiding it or getting louder about what you think, get together and see if you can learn what they value that it leading them to their conclusions. Echo back to them what you think it is until they feel like they've been seen and understood. Maybe invite them to collaborate on an experiment so the decision can be based on data instead of speculation, or reach out for coaching from someone you respect. Find boundaries that let you determine how you will behave, rather than trying to get someone else to behave the way you want them to. Or whatever other features of your conflict-resolution skills you want to practice.

"Technical decision making" is another common one: look for a place where there is more than one option, and figure out how to efficiently and effectively lead the team to consensus on a solution.

"Tell me about a time you saw a problem and were able to make it better" is another I've seen. Take up a thing you think your team could use more of, like tests or documentation or alerting or retros, and figure out what is making that hard to get done (one easy trick: try doing it. See what stops you.) Figure out who you need to get on board with trying something different.

If you can't get those experiences in your current role, consider finding a non-profit that needs some coding where you could have more autonomy & getting permission from your current employer to do some work there (on your personal equipment.)

The most easily-spotted difference is that the flower bunch of QAL is flat. On spotted water hemlock, it is smaller bunches splayed out.
Yeah I think kanban is the right model for almost every development team. Teams embedded in a massive orchestrated project across many teams waterfall actually is pretty reasonable.
And sometimes that happens. Some people don’t want to change. You give them the opportunity to do so, and if they choose not to, you part ways.

Just like if there’s something at a company I work for is unacceptable, first I see if it can be changed, and if not find another job.
I'm not even sure what the deal is with suspense and the massive wait on it. They make it sound like it's some super advanced functionality you should never have to touch(because framework! so we'll not even tell you how to use it).. Yet Vue has had async component mounting forever and it just works. And it's so easy to understand they even explain it to you; you just return a promise that resolves to a component.

Totally agree with your point about node backends. So much of the world doesn't and is not going to have their backend entirely or partially on node. But to the authors point, Vercel is Reacts daddy now and daddy needs to sell some hosting(for a new pair of shoes).
I haven't read the whole article, but it seems to be describing everything I've experienced first-hand.

My local grocery store has had them for a few years. At first they were great, but slowly things got bad. Whatever they did, the machines are now totally unreliable. They didn't monitor the weight of your groceries before, and now they do, and they complain multiple times per trip that the weight isn't right. They also require you to put all your bags in the bagging area first and hit a button to weigh them, but that fails 100% of the time if you put more than three bags in for some reason. It also randomly doesn't have the thing you scanned in its inventory (I don't know where that failure lies in the pipeline). They also just pop up other random errors.

For every single instance of the aforementioned issues, an employee must come over and override it. They seem at their wits' end.

I was told that one reason things changed is because they saw a huge jump in loss/theft.

Note that none of this has seemed to stop stores from actually investing in the things, which may be the source of confusion. But I assume they still use them because of the same reason everything is shit: They'd rather things be shit than pay people more.
This hasn't happened on Android. Amazon tried.
There is also the very useful project fauxstream which encapsulates this knowledge.

https://github.com/rfht/fauxstream

I was testing a stream over ipfs proof of concept. and the trickiest thing for me was figuring out what ffmpeg arcana was needed to grab the desktop and audio. And fauxstream proved very valuable in providing a known working config.
After my account started getting bills this month for pennies for which there was no obvious accounting, I slashed my AWS costs by 100%.

I'm back to managing my own systems. So much cheaper and less chance of nonlinear bills.
I don't eat stuff that I don't totally, 100% know and trust. Wild shit, never.

There's this fascination of people towards eating exotic stuff (defined as "non domesticated plants"), like wild garlic (Allium Ursinum), I see people selling leaves at the market. A slight mistake and they're buying Lily Of The Valley which looks very similar but will kill you.

Or wild mushroom people. I'm not touching wild mushrooms with a barge pole, couldn't give a s*it what experts say and how great they taste. I'd rather eat bread and water and stay alive than risk kidney failure and agonizing death.

I guess people are curious on experiencing interesting tastes but as they say "curiosity killed the cat".

I do hiring in the US not the UK, but I'm only (I'm guessing) a few years older than you so you probably had the "keep it to one page" rule pounded into your head.

I get a lot of resumes, and that is definitely not the case anymore. Two to three pages is perfectly fine. I would suggest:

1. Add a list of skills and/or technologies you're particularly good in. You can include stuff you've used but aren't current in, but make sure it's annotated as such

2. Add a high-level summary that hits the aggregated highlights of your career. Especially important for making sure that the resume reader quickly understands your specialties and focus, depth and breadth. Your Blender work is badass and should def show up in that summary

3. If you have education, I'd add a small thing about that at the bottom. For smaller orgs it doesn't matter but bigger ones it will make a difference. Ditto if you have any certifications

Overall though, I heartily agree that it's a vicious hiring market right now so don't take it personally. You look like a fascinating candidate! If we had open slots and our markets lined up more, I'd be shooting you an email. I'm a little weird in this regard, but I am particularly impressed by open source work that people do. It shows passion, motivation, and a willingness to make the world a better place, which are three things I really appreciate.
Very welcome improvement. I overlooked SQLite for far too long relegating it to just a "toy database, not meant for real world apps". Boy was I wrong.

To be fair, the water used for dilution has orders of magnitude more of stuff already dissolved in it, if only from the person breathing on it.
Scrum is basically a set of necessary but not sufficient processes. I was sceptical about it, took the course, and aced the test.

Scrum itself is like the rules for holding a good meeting. It's good common sense advice that I don't think you can actually reasonably object to.

If it's not in the Scrum guide, it's not Scrum, truly find something objectionable in that:
https://scrumguides.org/scrum-guide.html

But in achieving that flawesseness, they made it so broad and vague that you really need to add additional practices to it. And then you got to be careful, mature, and thoughtful or else it's gonna turn into a shitshow... but if you just do Scrum you'll end up as a shitshow anyway.

PS- to me personally the biggest flaw is that so much hinges on the definition of done being correct, and that is at least half the battle in dev and can almost single handedly save or sink an organisation in itself.
The Pi 2's I had were hit or miss and had hardware issues, and ended up repurposing an old laptop to fill in for it. Worked fine, and had decent luck buying older laptops off of kijiji / craigslist / fb marketplace and using those in lieu of Pi's.

Outside of GPIO that's on the Pi's, the laptops are fine, and though a little more expensive they can also run more powerful VMs, have cooling, and can do x86 stuff.

Actually, back in the days, google would have given you a tutorial with the correct answer together with examples too. You don't need LLMs for this, just honest search. But honest search is gone.

I wonder how long till ChatGPT gets entshitified too...
It’s not just a matter of the tokenization being the same, it’s whether the model can understand text that’s written with a very rarely seen encoding. Normally tokens represent entire words or portions of words, but in this case it’s not only broken into letters but into bytes, with two full tokens dedicated to every character. Text encoded this way is common (in flag emojis) but extremely lacking in diversity because it only encodes country codes. It’s unclear whether GPT-4 learned this ability by generalizing from country codes or through exposure to steganographic Unicode text on the web. Probably a combination of the two.
Grocery delivery sucks. You have to order too far ahead, actual delivery time is too unpredictable, you can't personally inspect the items, and sometimes you get inappropriate substitutions. Any suggestion of grocery delivery as a substitute for cars is just totally disconnected from reality.

Americans will continue driving to Costco. There is no conceivable future where this minor transportation cost becomes hard to justify, especially when you factor in the cost savings of buying in bulk.

I threw some German medical handwriting images into ChatGPT a while back and asked it to transcribe it and it worked pretty well. ChatGPT knows a lot about language so that helped in filling in the gaps.
Agile failed because it had a naive view point of politics. It never understood that the bureaucrat is the enemy and that the bureaucracy wouldn't give it up so easily.

Instead, the bureaucracy did what does when it is threatened, it pretended to pay lip service to the agile principles while subverting them in order to survive and thrive.

People didn't always do certain things (like committing suicide) the easy way, they often did them in the most dramatic way possible. This was generally true up until around the Industrial Revolution.
We do that already, yeah. But they'd like estimates on a lot of issues so they can prioritize better. I believe it's a waste of time though. There is no good solution for this I believe.
You've clearly got an array of interesting skills and you could expose them more readily, perhaps at the top so people don't have to scan through the whole thing to get a gist of your skill set?

I have more than 10 servers on Hetzner (some dedicated, some VPS), for 5+ years and the same experience, once one of the dedicated servers had some hardware issues, and an hour later the drives were moved to another box and it was running again. Other than that time, I had downtime only because of my own fault.

Pretty sure over these years AWS has experienced a lot more issues overall.

I would advise against using Word doc format instead of PDF. I feel quite strongly about this.

1. PDF will render more consistently across platforms.

2. PDF can be opened in a web browser. Lots of orgs these days use cloud tools, you can't count on MS Office being universal any more. Also on a phone without additional apps, which is surprisingly common too.

3. Default PDF exports from most tools will include fonts, default Word exports don't. This makes opening Word docs annoying on machines with different fonts (or restricts you to "safe" fonts, which is probably a good thing, but this post is about formats not CV design)

4. Opening PDFs, there's less "junk". Opening Word docs in Word, you see all the squiggles under technical terms and non-Western names, draggable icons on tables, tooltips, etc. When I open someone's CV and Word throws up a bunch of popups about the document containing macros, "objects", fonts I don't have, it puts me in a bad mood for the next few minutes.

5. PDF can certainly be read by CV parsing engines. No question.

6. Having been on the receiving end, in my experience PDF is simply more common. Make the reader's job easier.

And you shouldn't use "doc" anyway, modern versions of Word use docx.

Unfortunately Hacker News comments strip emojis, and in this example the suffix instructions are hiding as tag-block characters after an emoji (which are typically part of the emoji, used for country flag encoding), so I expect it would be stripped.
