Depressive hole here. Seeing the concept of finding my first job in tech as near hopeless for someone like me, who has weak network/hustling skills. Going to events I've met other unemployed people, many friends/acquaintances are unemployed or laid off, and differentiating myself from any of them is a social challenge I've never prepared for. It feels worse when it's apparent that to do so, I need relevant work experience and what relevant education I have is not what counts.

When I consider the advice to seek an "adjacent" position and then move to the role I want internally, it feels like I'm in an even worse position because to work tech support, any customer-facing experience is preferable, meaning anyone who's worked retail has yet another leg up on me.

Well, you asked. I'd rather not try to give advice even if I have any.

Large cap stocks that have firmly exited the growth phase generally have a p/e of around 15. As long as you dont think profits will decrease a p/e of 9 is generally a hard buy.
That's an OK prior if you have literally no other information, but still isn't reasonable once you know anything about people.
Based on 2160p movies i've seen around the very largest max out at around 100, and 40 is more common, so this seems wrong.

Are they just supposed to be invincible? Next best thing is an incident response with this level of quality and transparency. Thats definitely a win in my book, I want to know the provider of a core part of my infra is able to competently and maturely respond to a security incident and this post strongly communicates that.
When is the rug pull?
I was mostly referring to the brightest things like the ISS, Starlink and (formerly) Iridium satellites, which are in low Earth orbit.

Higher orbits are visible for longer, due to the angles involved: because they're so high, such satellites can remain illuminated with the Sun further below the horizon. The Moon is the most extreme example: it's almost never in Earth's shadow.
Tesla said 2 years ago they are no longer battery constrained and said during thr latest earnings call they were stock piling battery supply
You are really, really, really sensitive about this. I wonder why?

GP said nothing of the sort.
Apple: "I like our products amplifying thoughts and I think AR can help amplify the human connection. I’ve never been a fan of VR like that because I think it does the opposite."

> Do you really try to stick with the git CLI and memorize hundreds of commands and flags?? Why?!

Because IntelliJ is... less capable than it should be. Personally, I find `git add/commit -p`, `git diff` far easier to use than IntelliJ, and because Python is a fucking mess I had to install the codecommit git helper into a Python venv... but you can't tell IntelliJ to use that venv's $PATH for `git pull`/`git push`.

Oh, and you can't really macro complex stuff in IntelliJ, whereas I can do a single-command release and push-tag of a project with about 30 Git submodules in a (convoluted) Bash one-liner.
I think meta's dip was always much more about Mark being unimpeachable than anything else. The market new $10 billion a year for the metaverse was a drop in the bucket, I think everyone was reasonably confident that meta would have a tiktok competitor. The issue was that investors thought Mark making "bad" decisions now meant he would continue to. Instead he instituted massive layoffs to show investors that he is thinking of them, so the stock went back up.

I think meta's biggest non mark issue was the apple tracking stuff that cost them billions of dollars.
Too bad about the Linux dependency.

This would be a nice API to have on simple MCUs.
I was a bit confused about how authors are supposed to bootstrap themselves into a following according to this article. Putting aside the long tail of book outcomes, do publishers really expect an author to already have a readership somehow?

I'm genuinely curious. I have no experience with this area outside of academics, which is a bit different. I guess a blog makes sense, and I've always been aware of marketing efforts, but the idea of expecting a new author to already have a readership seems like a chicken and egg problem.
Don't almost all instruments provide some kind of control? If they didn't they could be replaced by pre-recorded samples. Music would be dead.
Most of the tax cuts have benefited the "rich" than the average Joe.
One more bullet I forgot to include: Google likely has to deal with at least 100x the volume that OpenAI does.
Sensible "Safe-Password" Checks
Recently I had an incident where a user reported that their account was hacked. It turned out that they've used their email (the same email they've used to sign up) as their password. This prompted me to invest into some stricter rules around what's allowed as password. However, everything that I found online had non-sensical requirements that make passwords safe but also impossible to remember. So I wrote something that's hopefully more sensible. Sharing here so it could benefit others:

https://gist.github.com/adaboese/bcde05aa8294924cc1f85718e197c024

TLDR

* fails if password contains the email

* fails if password is too short (<8)

* fails if password starts with a whitespace

* fails if password ends with a whitespace

* fails if password is not diverse enough (e.g. foofoofoo)

* fails if password only contains numbers

* fails if password contains common sequences (e.g. 123 or asdf) [this is really only so I could remove a bunch of passwords from the next dictionary-based step]

* fails if password contains common passwords (based on 10k most popular passwords)
There definitely have been people who have implemented a more pure relational model (e.g. https://docs.relational.ai/rel) -- and at scale, too. There's just so much force and legacy behind SQL that it is pretty much impossible to do well in the industry without it.

But the relational model works and has been proven, independent of SQL.

Hell, even Datomic.
You can just rebind a key to launch a macro to do this. I guess it’s nice to be all packaged up, but a month price….
How is it that they can borrow that much money for struggling companies? I am quite perplexed at how banks view these deals if they (supposedly) regularly end up in bankruptcy.

Someone held that 7 billion in debt that went into bankruptcy. Why did a struggling company that was about to be strip-mined of assets get lent that money in the first place? And especially how did they get that money unsecured by hard tangible assets such as real estate?
I feel great, for example when local ISPs or seedbox providers take DMCA notices and flush them down the toilet.

In app payments really.

Everything you cited are also part of it, but the bulk is games' in app payments.
I have read a couple of horror stories where it then becomes impossible to separate the account once you leave the employer.

No thanks. New account per job.
I relate to this. Golden handcuffs seem great until you're trapped in an expensive mortgage in a HCOL city in a career that you despise.

If you want out, I'd strongly encourage you to start investing in that education now. Working a day job and taking night classes is challenging but it'll start building a foundation to exit -- or at least provide some novelty. I took my severance and put it into an accelerated EMT program which is giving me some badly needed routes forward.

Regardless, I wish you the best of luck no matter where you go. Sometimes we just need to pay the bills for a few years and figure out next steps.
There are systems being developed where the discharged electrolyte is pumped out of a vehicle and replaced with charged electrolyte.
that is what i was thinking about, which is encouraging.
This code never worked but made it into production. What I see is a developer hucking garbage over the wall, not testing their own code, passing reviews assuming they exist, and eventually stopping the train in its tracks because they're more concerned with pretty commit messages. I also think this is beyond simple to catch early be it the editor, the pre-commit hook, or any other range of tools that could have and should have prevented this.

I'm not saying a detailed commit message is never warranted, I'm saying this fuck up doesn't warrant a short story let alone a prize for being overly verbose. BTW, I did a loc . on the repo I work in, came back with 7400000 lines of code. Does this mean I'm cool enough to be in your club?
Consistency of style in the general sense is what designers wish to avoid. Consistency of browser behaviour and default style, on the other hand, is the grail from which creativity can flourish unbounded on the web.

I didn’t see Elixir mentioned on your site. Would a backend engineer get to develop in it?
Very informative. I only have one small gripe: I find that the 'Papaya' naming is somewhat unspecific, and somewhat ambiguous. I would have called it 'Wombat' for clarity, but overall I think these guys know what they're doing.
Totally agree on travel. If I'm getting on a plane for work I don't want to bring my own devices. I can't even trust that my own country won't steal/copy my devices at the border.
This could be fixed by something smarter, like:

Whatever the richest team in the league pay in salaries, half this value must be donated to the poorest team. Same for the second richest and the second poorest and so on.

Richest means the biggest payroll after the players are subscribed.

This could create a balance, since you can't spend too much without consideration the +50% penality. And the teams paying these values should consider it an investment in the quality of the league, which will increase overall returns.

Yes. It happens every third episode.

Doesn't ingesting lactose cause expression of the lactase encoding gene? The genes are the state machine of our cell lineage, changing their work is expected in response to stimuli.

I keep hearing about drugs rewiring the brain ("Adderal causes changes in brain in long-term use") which is always taken as a bad thing, but shouldn't medicinal drugs that improve mental function be exactly expected to do that?

Seeing this trend makes me have doubts as to where is medical science headed.
Also massively overengineering things and wasting a lot of time.

It is completely possible to build stuff without any math whatsoever if the community of builders copies what they did last time, makes minor adjustments when it doesn't work and keeps an oral history.

Of course, the constructions will be overengineered, not really of industrial volume and the community will believe a lot of things that are not true. And any attempts to be innovative will usually be expensive disasters.

Don't forget all the unstable buildings fell down a long time ago and we don't remember them.
> The historical reason for the ordering is because that’s how it was on the PDP-11

True, I think. I mean, that certainly was the case for PDP-11 and VAX asm. 68000 too (pretty much a 32 bit, 16 register PDP-11). Whether that was the actual reason is more debatable.

> And all AT&T/GNU versions preserve this ordering regardless of the vendor format.

False. GNU `as` puts the destination register first for all of Arm32, Arm64, MIPS, PowerPC, RISC-V. Every RISC ISA, as far as I know. Except for store instructions, where the source register is first.
Be that as it may, you said they have an entirely complete genome for you, which they do not.

The last place I worked with Okta, Okta routinely sent sales people onsite to meet and hang out with executives. Make this a common occurrence across a client base and your head count balloons pretty quickly.
Ultimately sports makes money from entertainment which derives from competitiveness of the teams. If a team always dominates, it makes it predictable, no one watches their team fighting over second place. It’s a game and cap balances the game.
Facebook growing users still is easily the most mind boggling thing in tech right now to me. I was absolutely convinced it would plateau like 5 years ago but they just keep finding more people to download their app. Theyre claiming that half the world uses their apps at least once a month, hard for me to wrap my head around that.
Sounds like a misunderstanding. They just remove you from the org. (And if they don't, it's not your problem.)
The C++ Iceberg
Facebook has been my "Oh my god, I'm an out of touch old man" warning message.

I honestly don't understand Facebook and Instagram and the rest of their products. I don't use them and I don't know why I'd use them. I truly don't understand what people get out of them. Yet the numbers can't be denied. Over 2 billion active daily. As OP put it, it's totally incomprehensible! Well done.
Note that Intel had a P/E of about 9 as of March 2021 - I remember because I bought it. Three years later, with the stock having gone down by ~8%, its P/E is now 108. Oftentimes when investors discount a stock relative to earnings, it's because they expect earnings will decrease.
Just wait till next year when your employer migrates away from Azure DevOps and that PR number will be a dangling link forever lost.
Hmm, maybe that's actually why I pretty much started ignoring Wikileaks from some point on, to the point I even forgot about all this ?

Wikileaks was perhaps most significant in 2010/2011 (the Manning Iraq / Afghan War leaks)... but you're right, at the very least, looks like he had been a tool (in both senses of the word) of the Kremlin pretty close to that moment already :

Not to suggest that the phenomena are necessarily related (though it wouldn't surprise me), there's also this:

>Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is a fatal complication of epilepsy. It is defined as the sudden and unexpected, non-traumatic and non-drowning death of a person with epilepsy, without a toxicological or anatomical cause of death detected during the post-mortem examination.

I am a Product Designer with 10+ years of experience. I began my professional journey working at design studios and gradually migrated towards digital product design. My specialization came about through entrepreneurship, graduate programs and experience in tech companies, from startups to larger enterprises.

Although my recent role was managerial, I am deeply committed to maintaining a hands-on approach, leading by example to inspire creativity and excellence within the team.

I was laid off last month, so I'm exploring where I might focus on now and have been studying and experimenting a lot this month. Whether you're looking for a founding partner, aiming to elevate the design maturity in your organization, or anything in between, let's chat.
So what happens to the laser beam when there are clouds?

I'm an 10+ YoE full stack web developer with a niche passion for app security/hacking. Worked at a few Canadian startup success stories, evolving their tech from scrappy and brittle to mature and resilient.

One of my skills is the ability to absorb and become proficient in new domains and paradigms I've yet to gain experience in.

I'm the Solver staff archetype.

The purpose of criminal restitution is to punish you. You shouldn't be able to discharge a punishment.
I want to build a minimal kernel that I can virtualize (QEMU) for a variety of purposes across my arm64 Macbooks at home; ideally, it would be optimized for that hardware. One version of the kernel I want just for command line purposes, nothing involving graphics or sound. I want to also build a similar kernel that has just enough to run Firefox in a Wayland compositor (probably just Weston) along with sound.

No, I don't need to go this far, but I want to.

Unfortunately, I don't really have any resources to share. I just know how to boot a vmlinuz with an initramfs using QEMU, and decided to download the Linux kernel source code and try compiling it.
Yeah, I specifically addressed that in the post. Slack is not really that interested in me potentially thinking of leaving my employer or about me talking with a work friend about wanting to get a raise.

My employer might be.

There's an effort afoot to bring this to the Clojure world, with the lovely name jank: https://jank-lang.org
If you already program quite well, then I expect that you will find this software quite easy to learn. Sage, in particular, is built on top of Python.

That doesn't mean the math you implement in this software will be easy! But I expect that the programming itself won't prove to be much of an obstacle.

I definitely recommend you learn one or more of these languages -- but not necessarily to the scale where you're writing large and complicated programs. I use PARI/GP, a software package similar to Sage which is well suited for number theory in particular -- and my particular use case is a 40-to-150 line program that carries out some particular computation I'm interested in. Usually it will just be simple functions, array manipulations, for loops, computations, library calls -- programming at the level you'd master by the end of an intro CS course.
There is a class `ParameterizedAutoFactoryFactoryFactory`[1] in one of my pet projects.

The name does correctly reflect the purpose of this class. Although I could of course have come up with another one, the temptation of `Factory`x3 was just too strong to resist.

That seems to be an unintended tautology. I assume you meant to say that they're typically released either shortly after closing or shortly before reopening, right?
Sinophobic? You just sound like a tankie or a shill. The Chinese government is a cartel that actively trade in the stolen organs of their own citizenry. The US may have completely squandered its global hegemony entering into useless wars, but the Chinese preside over a horror show.
