Hey there... frontend dev here. I'm sorry you're going through rough times.

To be fair, I don't think it's you :( The industry is in a huge downturn right now, with hundreds of thousands laid off over this year and last. You're competing not just with everybody who normally would want a remote job, but also with thousands of high-powered ex-FAANGers with decades of industry-leading experience, in a race to the bottom, as people just try to keep a roof over their heads. That means the pipeline for juniors* trying to break in right now is pretty fucked, and might stay that way for a while :( AI is also having an impact, both in terms of being able to do a lot of our work, and shifting investment towards that instead of web dev.

*I know you're not really a junior, but you might not have as much dedicated frontend experience.

It really sucks, but none of that is within your personal control. All you can do is keep trying and wait it out, seizing opportunities wherever you can. Many of us will probably be underemployed for a while, if not altogether unemployed soon... it's a hard time to be in the industry.

For myself, I was unemployed for half of last year, sending out resume after resume and not hearing back. That's with 10+ years of frontend experience. But I'm also pretty mediocre, lol, so more skilled people could have better luck.

If you want a second pair of eyes on your portfolio, I'd be happy to take a look? I'm not any sort of manager/hiring person, but can at least offer feedback as a peer grunt if that's helpful.
That's fantastic! If we developed this, would you recommend it to friends or even use it yourself as a business owner?
Yes, you do need to beat the level to upload it to the servers for other people to play.

A very clever stop gap from Nintendo in my opinion. Of course this can be subverted cleverly.

The original motivation of team 0% was the opinion that anyone who took the effort, and expressed the creativity, to create a level deserved the bare minimum that someone else actually played their level.

Trimming the herbs and the rest of the final 10 were all made by very active community members who uploaded and played many levels, but the real spirit of 0% is the maker and level who was lost to obscurity and so was unable to share their creativity with others.

At a book signing who deserves the signature more? The person who showed up 10 minutes early and has the author sign 30 books “to eBay” or the kid who spent their last allowance money on a copy of the book and had to walk to the signing from school so is the last person in line.

Team 0% is the author that sticks around way past the scheduled time to make sure everyone, both the reseller and the super fan, get their autograph.
I'm running k3s & have no idea what you are talking about about. There is an incredibly modest write load. Etcd primarily captures the Desired State of the system, and that doesn't change except if you are there telling it to change. Containers logging is a much bigger write load for me, but basically irrelevant.
If you think that, clearly you've never used Oracle SQL!
> Keep in mind that PanGui is designed to be language-agnostic and will be transpiled to many languages

Okay, there’s a few things you plausibly need transpilation for (like web), but mostly shouldn’t language-agnostic not mean “transpiled to a whole bunch of target languages”, but instead just mean library with idiomatic clients for a bunch of different languages, with transpilation for a small number of platforms where the usable languages are limited?
Maybe part of the explanation is that there weren't as many soldiers in these battles as historical accounts say. We're well aware that official Roman numbers of the sizes of armies were hugely bloated compared to reality. The same might well be true of later battles.
One of the biggest problems with Stack Overflow, and this applies to Reddit as well, is that it's not a viable business model. There's nothing monetizable about the "core business" of asking questions and getting answers. If there was, Quora or Experts Exchange would have prevailed instead.

Finding the right nonprofit structure to handle this need is difficult. And you could always end up like Wikipedia instead, which seems to spend 90% of its donations on things other than its operations, and yet cries that it will shut down if you don't donate your next latte (but I don't drink lattes...).
Do you plan on ever allowing users to change the font size?
I dunno about a list, but contributing, code-of-conduct, and license are all pretty common.
bbc.com Vs. bbc.co.uk
Technically they are being charged with misuse of public funds, not embezzlement, as they didn't steal the funds.
It's pretty normal not to be asked but many people do look--not so much for negative signal but they may notice. I'm pretty sure it didn't make the difference with my last job but probably sealed the deal as my manager went to the same school.
I would describe this spyware's "illegal" status as colloquially true - despite the lack of a comprehensive, international, enforceable legal framework - at least in the USA [0]:

> As part of this effort, the End-User Review Committee of the BIS decided to add four foreign entities, among them two Israeli companies, NSO Group and Candiru, to the Entity List. The U.S. Export Administration Regulations (‘EAR’) impose additional license requirements for exports to listed entities, and limits the exceptions for exports, reexports, and transfers to such entities.

But they continue:

> The existing international and national frameworks regulating the export of sensitive spyware technologies lack the teeth necessary to deal with contemporary issues relating to the abuse of these technologies and the growing need for their enhanced supervision.

INSTALL and LICENSE are the important ones. Maybe also BUGS (i.e., how to report bugs) and CONTRIBUTORS.
> This means the sensor can tell you where you bent it, with a predefined (and coarse) resolution.

> OptiGap’s application is mainly within the realm of soft robotics, which typically involves compliant (or ‘squishy’) systems, where the use of traditional sensors is often not practical.

This explanation is already quite clear. If I understood correctly, by "predefined resolution" you mean that it detects which silicone sleeve was bent on a tube with a series of them, correct?

Can you provide more concrete examples for how you envision it being used? The first application that comes to mind is sensing how fingers bend in a glove controller.
Do you know if there is any (even theoretical) work to solve the lifetime issue? Perovskites degrade in sunlight (order of months) making it seem unlikely they would ever be useful outside the lab.
Yes. And even with lowercase, when all you have is ASCII, all caps becomes a reliable/x-platform way to add emphasis. The question is a fun watercooler topic but the accepted answer is among the various reasons the convention arose - it probably doesn't have a simple answer that's The Answer.
The alternatives are certainly worse. Hp, Canon and such do research on their products, so far as I know third-party ink companies just get the cheapest thing from China that's roughly the right color. See

http://www.wilhelm-research.com/pdf/PCWorld_Cheap_Inks_2003_...

Roughly there is no mechanism by which third-party ink vendors can prove the quality of their products so it is a "market for lemons".

As someone who has a habit printing photographs, art reproduction, and anime art I'm amazed at the high quality output that I can get if I use quality materials. You'd better believe that photo and quality matte paper are not a scam and get better results than you're going to get on cheap paper. The same is true about the ink except there isn't any mechanism to enforce the quality of ink.

As much as I think third-party ink is suicide, I will grant that HP and their ilk seem to be trying as hard as they can to piss people off, have a lawsuit, congressional hearing and all that.
The wording is technically correct since these attacks are often facilitated by private for-profit companies. It just glosses over who is paying them (state actors).
I wish the digital video industry would go the way that the digital music industry went.

DRM free and most content available in 1 place.

How were all the record labels able to agree on having all their content available drm-free on like itunes and amazon, and have all their content on one streaming service.

But movie and tv show studios can't come close to this concept and seem to keep becoming more and more fractured.
Plausible and gave me a good chuckle.

Thanks.
Sorry that was a typo, you're right it's 10.

"Let's just use solar" comments are tiresome. It's not a panacea.

I am not running a business now but I am happy to take a look at what you are doing and give my feedback, look up my profile and send me an email.
That was my thought as well - if we know certain things need time to be in sync, can we use systemd dependencies to enforce that? I'm not sure it would help with OP's problem because that was more or less a circular dependency (time sync needed name lookup which needed time to be in sync), but it could mitigate some of the effects or at worst make the problem more explicit/obvious.

Speaking of razor-sharp formation flying satellites, reminder Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) got the go ahead this year. Incredibly ambitious & cool attempt to build a much much much bigger space based version of the already 4km long Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO). Requires absurdly stupensously precise formation of three satellites.

Congratulations and major respect!
I see that Harvard's endowment is currently around 50 billion dollars. I suppose with good investments that could last for a long time, provided that Harvard doesn't need to dip into it to fund daily operations. Harvard's annual budget currently is around 5 billion per year.
Client side rendering is harder for SEO than server side.

Server side has many advantages.

If the key is delivering SEO information, client side dynamic UX might not be the core of that experience, and may not be the best application for that part of it.
Test scores are an excellent way to distinguish moderate students from strong ones. In my experience, when you're distinguishing top applicants from each other, much of the difference will come down to the intensity of test preparation. Of course, for these Ivy League schools, the overwhelming majority of applicants fall into this category. The desire to outperform drives a huge investment in test prep, and selects for students who have put all their time into that activity -- rather than actually being curious about the world.
Just out of curiosity why would you have imessage turned off?
For many large software projects there is great, searchable and comprehensive documentation. If you know where to look, te answer to your question is most likely already there.

Of course there are questions not answered in the documentation, which is where stack overflow can shine.

I think the real problem is google, if it was a great search engine it would give you the appropriate documentation page for your problem and many, many people would never visit stack overflow for the answer.
I found Semrush well worth paying for.
Yes but that's not the reason. Back in the 90's shareware scene long before Github, an overwhelming number of files would be downloaded to your computer and then you'd be left to wonder where to start. Making a file all caps draws your attention to it and lets you know where the author intends you to start. Today, Github opens that file for you on the front page of every repo, so it doesn't matter so much anymore.
The map shows solar resource, irrespective of the technology you're using. For example, you could be using heat collectors that would capture closer to 100%.
To keep things simple, for back of the envelope calculations, you can imagine 1kW per square meter. Subtract cloud coverage, night hours and then multiply with 0.2 for PV panels efficiency.

If you want 11kWh/day, you need: (5.7 * 0.2) * Y = 11, so Y = 10 square meters.
You can double check this: 10 sqm should have about 10KW of solar potential energy, but with PV efficiency you're getting about 2KW, so to reach 11kWh, you need 5 good hours of sunshine on average.
Brian Krebs is reporting[1] this as a "supply chain attack". Will be interesting if any further details come out. Depending on where the exploit came from, this could potentially be a much bigger story.

Good schools get enough applicants such that the top X are more or less indistinguishable from one another via quantifiable metrics. It's hard to define the 100 "best" when you're looking >100 kids with the same scores.

Harvard might not have this problem, but some, even some good, schools have to put some thought into if the student is actually going to accept the offer as well. Some states require a certain percent of students to be from the state in state funded schools.
Probably need to increase wire spacing and upgrade insulators as well.
This reminds me of the Dmitry Sklyarov case from 2001 [0]. Adobe is a bear I would not want to poke.

People think you slap some solar panels on your roof and it's "problem solved". Apparently they have no idea how the world consumes energy, or the scale:

Not really - ~8500 people got 1550(99th percentile) or better on the SAT last year.

Harvard freshman class size is 1700, but there are also a number of other schools at the same tier of Harvard (off the top of my head, Princeton, MIT, U Penn, Stanford, Yale)
I was blown away by the Every Day Astronaut Starbase tours.

Elon had all the intricacies and parts of the rockets memorized and was just rattling off details like it was nothing.

Kind of makes me think human intelligence is a direct function of memory.
Either way, more work to generate the same HTML/CSS in the end creates a longer experience, one that's too often more brittle in the long run.

Where SEO is involved, simplest wins. There's a reason why Wordpress focused on making words easy to publish, organize, and connect, and from there try to be a CMS.
Sadly causes random freezes on my 780m integrated GPU. Seems to be an AMD bug.
You're lucky.

Some schools continue the "social justice" movement further, ensuring that those you cited don't fail.
I am glad to see this experiment on our kids access to higher education to finally seeing its end.

When I saw state and other universities move away from standardized tests as acceptance criteria during the COVID era my only thoughts were - my kid was will not be college age for years and years and this should be over by the time it may impact him.

As someone who immigrated to the US during at a high school age with a non-negligible language barrier and culture shock, getting excellent grades across all subjects in school was impossible, but excelling at written tests especially in Math is what got me into a great state school and opened many doors for me later on.

This chance was being taken away from the kids of 2020s. I’m glad this is over.

My next hope is that any identity-based acceptance criteria are deemed illegal and acceptance is blindly merit and experience based to give a chance for my kid who may not fall into any protected categories to get into any school that his merit allows
Adobe is an established player with real customers who don't want to deal with copyright issues. Telling them "this is safe to use because we paid for it" solves that issue.

With Uber, no one's suing individual riders or drivers over an illegal taxi ride.
The DMCA, in the US. Other statutes in other markets. Hacking computers is pretty prima facie criminal everywhere. It's true that there are inter-jurisdictional edge cases (cracking an iPhone in India via an attack from Israel probably isn't illegal in the USA,etc...) which allows NSO to operate more freely than we'd like. But no one seriously claims this is legal activity anywhere in particular, just that we can't catch them.

Basically the distinction is one of law enforcement authority, not legality.
RTC is just an electronically readable Casio watch, it's not even responsible for keeping real time while OS is running. All it does is always incrementing regardless of motherboard power state so to provide time as OS loads.

I think as of right now, it's nearly impossible to buy a guilt-free computer of any kind. It's a spectrum, obviously, but I think if you were to audit every component of any computer you buy from basically any company, you'd eventually get something kind of depressing.

A relative of mine in the defense industry has told me that, generally speaking, the DoD requires that none of the components in missiles have parts manufactured by potential adversaries, which makes enough sense but is also extremely difficult now.
One of the nicest definitions of the six basic trig functions involves drawing an ray from the origin of a unit circle with its center at the origin.¹ Where the ray intersects the circle at point A draw a vertical line perpendicular to the x axis. The height of the line segment from A to the x axis will be the sine of the angle between the ray and the x axis. The length of the line segment from the origin to where your vertical line hits the x axis will be the cosine.

Now, draw a tangent line perpendicular to the x axis and find the point B where your ray intersects the tangent line. The length of the segment from the origin to B will be the secant, the length of the segment from B to the x axis will be the tangent.²

Finally, draw the tangent line parallel to the x axis and find the intersection of the ray with that line at C. The length of the segment from C to the origin will be the cosecant and the segment from the y axis to C will be the cotangent.

You can use your basic trig identities and knowledge of similar triangles to verify the relationships between the functions and the triangles. Angles outside the first quadrant will give signed values that make sense if you consider segments going down or left to be negative (but down and left is positive).

1. I’m making reference to cartesian coordinates strictly for the sake of convenience since I’m using only words to describe a diagram.

2. I’m doing this from memory and really hoping I’m not mixing up the tangent, cotangent, secant and cosecant
Aren’t its primary methods of deployment and utilization widely considered to violate domestic and international laws for unauthorized access to targets’ devices and/or data? I might be mistaken, I don’t know for sure how common such statutes are outside of the US, but I’m pretty sure it’s illegal in the United States, even for law enforcement (the likely unconstitutional extrajudicial activities of some unnamed alphabet agencies notwithstanding). If nothing else, there are documented cases where it’s been used to spy on journalists and activists in Saudi Arabia, including the widow of the assassinated American journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
I have no idea where he's getting it from either. Dude seemed to just stress himself out too much. Organizations encourage it, and promote people that do it.

It's also incredibly exclusionary. If you have the slightest neuroses, never be a leader!

Pet peeve: Misguided pedantry

Both “country” and “nation” have a wide variety of definitions, and several of them overlap.

The definition you give for “nation” is a particular technical one used in certain contexts, but the word used for the way you define “country” in the context where that kind of technical definition is being used for “nation” is “state”, not “country”. (And even “state” may be used with additional qualifiers to disambiguate the exact sense when used for that, because it is a heavily-overloaded term.)

Is it (I am not a worker in this space, so genuine question)?

My thoughts - I teach myself all the time. Self reflection with a loss function can lead to better results. Why can't the LLMs do the same (I grasp that they may not be programmed that way currently)? Top engines already do it with chess, go, etc. They exceed human abilities without human gameplay. To me that seems like the obvious and perhaps only route to general intelligence.

We as humans can recognize botnets. Why wouldn't the LLM? Sort of in a hierarchal boost - learn the language, learn about bots and botnets (by reading things like this discussion), learn to identify them, learn that their content doesn't help the loss function much, etc. I mean sure, if the main input is "as a language model I cannot..." and that is treated as 'gospel' that would lead to a poor LLM, but i don't think that is the future. LLMs are interacting with humans - how many times do they have to re-ask a question - that should be part of the learning/loss function. How often do they copy the text into their clipboard (weak evidence that the reply was good)? do you see that text in the wild, showing it was used? If so, in what context "Witness this horrible output of chatGPT: <blah>" should result in lower scores and suppression of that kind of thing.

I dream of the day where I have a local LLM (ie individualized, I don't care where the hardware is) as a filter on my internet. Never see a botnet again, or a stack overflow q/a that is just "this has already been answered" (just show me where it was answered), rewrite things to fix grammar, etc. We already have that with automatic translation of languages in your browser, but now we have the tools for something more intelligent than that. That sort of thing. Of course there will be an arms race, but in one sense who cares. If a bot is entirely indistinguishable from a person, is that a difference that matters? I can think of scenerios where the answer is an emphatic YES, but overall it seems like a net improvement.
