You were a good fit for 100+ roles?

As someone who hired many developers and scanned thousands of CVs - I don't know how you applied for a job - but this does not sound right.

I recommend everyone to spend some hours to curate their CV for each job and the application letter to each job, with finding out what is important to the company, their language, their challenges etc. Just like a sales rep would. If you take 1h for every application to prepare this would take several weeks of preparations for 100+ roles.

The hiring manager needs to think: Why did this person not apply earlier, they are perfect!

Not saying you did this, but sending the same CV and application to 100+ open positions is just like sending sales spam out. And when people do not put effort into their application, why should I put effort into rejecting them? I also just ignore mass applications.

Funny you mention LinkedIn, from which I seldom get good applications just mass spamming ones.
What’s worse is that the stuff that does get indexed will usually describe your exact issue, but then you’ll see it’s closed with a message like “this issue is stale because no one answered in 20 minutes,” or “this isn’t a bug, ask it on discord”. There’s no guarantee you get an answer there or if someone snaps at you for asking the same question yet again and not knowing the exact ceremony to perform to find the previous answers.

I don’t have the time or energy to arse about with real time chat and micro-communities for every single thing. The claim is that they are inclusive but I find them rather cliquey and exclusive.
Look, back in the day, things weren't encrypted, so you could listen in on your neighbor's phone calls, read their email, hack their bank accounts. Wireshark and etherdump and the most fun of all, driftnet. So, since then, everything has to be encrypted, lest someone hack there way to the family jewels. Never mind that the number of breaks to get there means there are usually bigger fish to fry. The important thing is to sprinkle magic encryption dust on everything because then we know it's Very Secure. (That's not to deride the fact that encryption is important, because it is, but sometimes it goes a bit far when there are other gaping holes that should be patched first.)

When I was young there was no control of alcohol or tobacco. And I do not think that that lack pushed the consumption significantly.

Until there is a nocript/basic (x)html browser, critical online services should be fine (if they have the decency to provide not only google/apple apps).
Honestly, I don't get the point of it. SSH keys, unlike PGP keys, are meant to be disposable and don't carry any identity information. If anything, I'd rather use my PGP keys with SSH (an option available for about a decade I think).

IQ is silly, might as well be astrology for men.

For those looking for more than a pithy comment, check out the book "The Bell Curve Debate". IQ was a retrofit system intended to be a "predictor of many personal outcomes, including financial income, job performance, birth out of wedlock, and involvement in crime".
Google's safetynet works by downloading a frequently updating and obfuscated binary from google and running it with the highest possible privileges (ARM trustzone on modern phones, bypasses the kernel), which then verifies the integrity of your system against a google-vetted list, preventing any sort of modification, root or not.

This is going to become nigh-impossible to bypass in the future as the binary is encrypted and verifies its signature, and encrypts the response with device-specific keys only available in trustzone. The current bypasses involve spoofing the uavailability of trustzone.
This happened to be an egregiously-bad example of these cheap, padded-out, pop-up shows that are everywhere.

Anything that isn't run by a major museum or gallery is highly suspect in my book. I recall a Tutankhamun show that I think had National Geographic's name slapped on it, somewhere in London Docklands, that was fairly lame, but nothing compared to the lameness of a Tutankhamun show going on in Hamburg right now which is mostly words printed on posters, with the main event being a large empty room with projections on all the walls. Barely amusing and mainly a good chance for a sit-down.

Similarly, there's a fake-o Body Worlds show going on, a bullshit Terracotta Army show on, and there's clearly money to be made.

The one experience I can remember that blew everything out of the water was the Millennium Dome in London, circa 2000, simply amazing and mind-blowing. I went twice. Truly amazing experiences like these cost a fortune and take a age, and require top-tier talent to put on. Just like a West End theatre production.
I guess Swiss quality is simply Swiss quality. If your windows after 15 years leak bugs inside than my friend previous owner bought the cheapest of the cheapest possible from aliexpress of last decade(s), not even ultra cheap eastern European stuff is that bad that quickly.

Overall, some folks love repairing old broken stuff (or need to due to financial circumstances). Most of us, our life satisfaction lies very much elsewhere and to spend our valuable remaining free time to just to learn properly and maintain such stuff that doesn't matter much in long run seems... unwise. Investing into relationships and intense experiences work generally better here.

I see plenty of older folks who maintain their houses and garden around themselves (I mean proper gardens with fruits and veggies etc, not those uniform fugly mandatory US lawns). It takes so much of their energy that they have little time nor energy for some other serious hobbies, travel etc. Eventually in old age they can't keep up and its extremely depressing for them, since their effort is usually lost to their kids and they just get rid of that ol' house.
And I'm annoyed by programs that don't make full use of it, to the point where I e.g. use "grc" [1] to colorize the output of a lot of commands. I don't want to use "a real GUI framework" for it, because that is 1) way more complexity, 2) not network transparent enough (yes, I can use X; no it's not pleasant over a network with any kind of latency), 3) I often don't want "actual graphics" - I want something constrained to a grid and that I can cut and paste as text, 4) "a real GUI framework" would prevent me from further filtering and rewriting the output, the way I do with grc.

Over the time (as part of researching competition) i also hear a lot of fans of retool with rave review (though never specifics as to what they are using it for). And i get it's appeal for building the UI, drag and drop, you see it directly and all the props of all components are there in the UI with documentation. But putting together the UIs is not what i find hard (using libraries like Reach-Admin). For me it seems way more time consuming having the UI interact with the actual backend/db and when i see in retool that this is done by "write a bunch of SQL for each table/button/screen" and they are just there in a list ... i just don't see how this is scalable/manageable for a internal tool with 10-20 screens. Also all the input validation is on the frontend ... did i miss some docs somewhere?

I think the main issue is with SSH. Remote console access is a lot faster and less resource intensive for servers than remote desktop, so htop and tmux really help for servers and sysadmins.

Otherwise yes, generally I think TUIs should be GUIs instead.
> I don't understand why the command line is "not meant for fancy user interfaces"

"command line" is a different term from a "terminal", but the reason why it's not great for graphical UIs is that character cells are a bad abstraction for it, people just keep adding more and more features/extensions to terminals to compensate for it, which isn't a good direction at all
Django admin is really extensible. I'm not seeing here how to offer multiple forms against the same model. Eg if a user can edit some of their profile but not the subscription plan field, while a sales team can.

Me too. It is frustrating to see an update to the app and then have the app indicate it is out of date. But generally it still works, and upgrading the server has always been nothing more than changing the docker image tag and restarting. It's an incredible project.

Not in practice. It only takes one economic downturn, or one opportunistic local governement to loosen the reigns, for that forest to be gone in months. This is what has been happening all over Europe over the last decade.

Maybe for errors that cost the government money. I've always filed my taxes with paper returns. (40 years) I've made errors two or three times; but, they've always resulted in an additional refund amount.
Setting the agenda matters. This drama probably made more people and businesses aware of the DMA and may influence the focus of some participants. For example, there's an "Apple DMA compliance workshop" in two weeks, to which interested stakeholders can register:

Hi I'm Manny, looking for internship or entry level opportunities to grow as a software engineer. My most recent project is an interpreter in C for the Mouse programming language. I've made games in Unity the past few years but currently learning software engineering @ ALX Africa.

Feel free to reach out if you have opportunities for me. Thank you!
I wish rust had learned from that and also kept range/overflow checks on by default and not only in debug mode.
After looking at your comment history and seeing your track record of being totally and consistently wrong, I'd say: definitely yeah no. And you replying "No yes" just makes it yeaher and noer. It's you, not "most people".
The last point can be mitigated by a hardware based security key(nitrokey,yubikey,etc).

Key would then by not on your device so extraction would be difficult or impossible.

You would need to touch the key to grant the sign request which would prevent any signing without you noticing.

One of the big differences though is iOS apps can only be provided by Apple. If the google store policies restrict you, you're free to distribute the app yourself. There are well known examples of this. Telegram from the play store blocks adult content its aware of. They also distribute an APK on their website without that if you want it.
> It is 100% worth the extra $ if you plan on subscribing for a loong time anyway

Have you taken depreciation into account in that calculation? Compute, memory, and storage are still getting cheaper each year due to manufacturing improvements.
Plenty of fancy user interfaces do not need to be graphical, but can still benefit from better textual presentation.

As for "features", there are very few features in modern terminals that affect display that weren't either present in "actual" terminal hardware several decades ago or are spiritual successors to that. E.g. displaying images in terminals has been a thing since at least 1981, yet a whole lot of terminals haven't supported it until it started getting a bit of a resurgence lately.

I don't agree it's not a good direction - GUI's are way too complex for a whole lot of applications, where terminals allow you to output quite advanced things with a handful of lines of code and no external dependencies.

If there was a push to make GUI protocols simpler (instead of far more work, as with Wayland) for trivial programs to output, I might be more open to this view.
Let's imagine OpenAI open sourced what they were doing and provided training on the technology they've developed, do you think they'd have trouble finding sponsorship ? Honestly?

I'm not knowledgeable about that specific subgenre, but if you're going to be more or less following the traditional rules of older graphic adventures, I think there are plugins for Unity/Godot that automate most of the common stuff and you can focus on the art and game logic, dialogue, etc. So instead of trying to learn how to develop games, try to look for specific tools to develop graphic adventures, you might find that part of the boring hard work is avoidable!

Hi, I'm currently working in academia as an Assistant Professor of Quantitative Methods at the Social Sciences Department and I'm working on transitioning to the industry. I obtained my PhD in 2019 and have been working on computational and quantitative methods since then. My latest project is the R package transforEmotion, which is used for sentiment analysis and emotion detection in text, images, and videos: https://github.com/atomashevic/transforEmotion.

I have experience with data science/ML projects in academia, as well as consulting for NGOs and companies. I'm open to remote work possibilities as a full-time data scientist or research scientist. I'm eager to work on challenging technical or business problems. Please reach out if you think I might be a good fit for your team!
I agree.

Over a 10 year horizon, the difference between 1€/m and 3€/m is a mere 240€.

That's like 2-5 extra work hours over the course of 10 years!

I seriously don't get how someone working in tech would fear bankruptcy over this.

In Django I had code in every view ensuring that the user was not accessing another user's data. If I create an abstraction like a utility function or "model manager" to handle this, I have to remember to call it from every view. In Graphene, this logic would be in a resolver which is used across multiple views.
Exactly the point. Now the scammers can easily fool and execute their confidence tricks to overpromise the world thanks to generative AI which can convince thousands of people to easily fall for their grift.

Personally, I don't have a trust problem with AI per se, I have a problem with the technology being locked behind closed doors.

My point is, if whatever they're doing is dangerous, I don't see what is actually special about Altman and Brockman having control of dangerous things. They seem completely motivated by money.

I'd trust scientists, AI experts who aren't in a for profit company with some government oversight over Aman and Bman.

This would have been better than world peace. But this threatened a lot of warmonger advertisers. So it was "deprecated" and then obliterated.
In a good infrastructure setup, any average dev should be able to get a new hello world crud service deployed to a test environment with the db and aws service backing of his choice and have it reachable by other services within an hour, without ANY additional config. Take the subdomain name from the repo name and be done with it!

If that is not possible, you have failed your job as masters of the infrastructure.

At my company, for this I need to copy-paste some terraform in repo 1, write some scaling config in repo 2 and put in new, encrypted credentials and other configs in repo 3, then finally I can deploy my docker app from repo 4.

I can all do it myself in two hours but it constitutes total failure on the infrastructure teams side.

Usually, unless someone is really doing naive things, you will need to have access to a lot of almost physical things to sniff traffic. You almost need to physically have access to room where either the server or the client is, even with unencrypted traffic. People say; 'but they can sniff it at level3'; they sure can, IF they have actual access to level3 on a higher level than just using them for normal traffic. Hacked switch or router or so. Probably state actors can and do pull that off, but outside that, it's really not so easy to get to unencrypted traffic of just a random target. You still should encrypt things of course when you can, but you don't have to get quite that paranoid about it.

All major hacks are 0-days (well, not updated Wordpress is not necessarily 0-day; a lot of 0-days are exploited months or years later), stolen credentials (social engineering usually), brute force password hacks or applications that are left open (root/root for mysql with 3306 open to the world). Those have nothing to do with (un)encrypted traffic.
If the models Open AI produced were open source, they'd have zero problems raising funding to train those models. Its not about that though, it's about monopolization of the tech.

Thanks for sharing your story, this is really awesome.

The GLP1 class agonist of drugs (semaglutide, tirzepatide, liraglutide, exenatide, etc) are really amazing, they might be one of the biggest changes to come around this century.

> my dr prescribed saxenda, and I’ve personally experienced a profound disinterest in food, even on the lowest dose of 0.6mg. It’s just made it profoundly easy to make the right choice when it comes to food, and to not over eat.

I think this is one of the biggest positive effects. Rather than simply shedding the pounds for you, GLP1 RAs really empower the user to make better choices (and at least experience what life is like without "food noise")

> I guess the reason I’m sharing this is because as someone who used to be truely massive, I understand the struggle, however, these new GLP1 drugs mean it doesn’t have to be that hard. Unless there is legitimate medical reasons why a person can’t take it, I think people who struggle with weight should consider it. (That’s just my personal opinion, I know not everyone will agree.)

It is absolutely wild some of the takes I see, researching GLP1 (I write https://glp1.guide). While it doesn't work for everyone, the weight of the benefits versus the side effects is absurdly positively tilted.

The only thing I can hope for is that with all the formulations out there that price goes down and availability goes up as fast as safely possible.

This amount of altruism is rare. More likely it's just the desire to be acknowledged by others. It's ok, but it's also worth reflecting on why you need that, as the process of freeing yourself from that can make you happier.

Also quantity <> quality; Discord users often are the people who have been trapped down the slope of least friction and that are ok with "being the product".
