I am a full stack developer with a Master's degree in Computer Science and 4 years of professional experience with JavaScript and C#/.NET. In the last few years my main focus has been the React/Next.js ecosystem, followed by Node.js. I am a JavaScript professional and a Python beginner interested to get more exposure to it. I have also worked with ASP.NET in the past which is not my primary focus at the moment. I have a basic understanding of DevOps tools.

A quick and easy way to assess my current skill level, the quality of my code and documentation, and my preferred tech stack (Next.js, TypeScript, React Query, Prisma, Postgres, TailwindCSS, Docker, Github Actions) is to check out one of my latest projects: https://github.com/nemanjam/nextjs-prisma-boilerplate

I have experience working remotely for startups within globally distributed multicultural teams.

You can check out my other projects at https://github.com/nemanjam . I have detailed resume available, you can tell me about your project by email: nemanja.mitic.elfak [at] hotmail.com or by LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nemanja-mitic .
I once had an interview that I really liked. It was for a bank.

They give the candidate some messy, done-in-a-hurry code (but not purposefully obfuscated) and ask them to refactor it to the best of their ability. The interviewer sits next to the candidate and talks to them throughout the whole process. It's pretty much pair programming, but the candidate has the initiative.

I found it to be a breath of fresh air after all the leetcode interviews. Of course, they have the luxury of doing this, because they know what exact technologies they are using and they don't need to measure candidate's ability to learn new tech, etc. In their situation they are more interested in topics like whether the candidate can produce maintainable code, name things properly or communicate with co-workers.

I'm just starting out in my tech career, and I've got some experience building full-stack apps. I'm excited to find a new tech job. I'm interested in front-end or maybe even dive into full-stack development. But I'm open to other roles too – I'm here to learn and grow!
Windows guys still have these, right?
Not really. Since then I've been unable to eat bananas due to a severe bloated feeling (even a tiny bite causes it), and I found a Japanese research paper about a banana allergy inducing acute pancreatitis. But I don't know for sure if it's linked.

I've continued to drink alcohol in moderation for another 15 years+ without issue.
Are you sure? The image is captioned:

Duplicate of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40564173

I am suprised HN fails to catch such duplicates. It succeeds on mine.
AI safety researchers generally define intelligence in terms of ability to reach goals (which certainly not a good general definition, but a useful one in this context). Intelligence is independent of what that goal is, and intelligent entities including humans don't generally choose their root goals, only intermediate ones. A super-intelligent paperclip maximiser would likely realise that humans don't actually want this many paperclips, but do it anyway, if that's the goal that it's set (it's important not to anthropomorphize such an entity too much: humans tend to have a complex set of goals with some balancing between them that will generally avoid such a single-minded approach. But an intelligent machine needn't have that).

(LLMs, at least, seem not to suffer much from this. In fact they're pretty hard to direct in general, and mimic a lot of the human elements in their dataset. So at the moment I don't think they're the kind of thing that will result in such an entity. But I also don't think they're likely to result in a super intelligent machine: super knowledgable, maybe, but I don't expect superhuman ability to synthesise new insights from that knowledge)
“USB C, just like god intended”

I like USB C more than A. Also quite like that this thing isn’t making itself available via wireless methods. Getting quite tired of every random thing having WiFi.
> I don't know a single religion that actually says we should pursue real ignorance

The closest thing to this is Taoism, and it's the least religious of religion. It's the most encompassing of philosophies. There is the Tao. It's everywhere and in everything. You won't ever be able to understand, define, touch, taste it, but you and everything else is part of it. Now go do whatever.

As Alan Watts said, Taoism is the purest of religions, all other religions are for people that don't get it so need to be taught verbosely and in details what is fundamentally unexplainable.

I'm a bonafide atheist, and I believe the Tao Te Ching to be one of the greatest cultural works every created.
Agreed. On the other hand, there should be legal repercussions if the vulnerability was found exploited in the wild (in Europe this is partially handled by GDPR, but AFAIK only if it can be shown that personal data is affected - not a lawyer obviously).

This aligns incentives nicely:

* Company creates a responsible disclosure program, users/researchers report problems for money/blog post fame, users are secure. Also security team becomes more important, because vulnerabilities cost (more) actual money.
* Or company doesn't create a responsible disclosure program, someone exploits the bug in the wild, users are angry and the company is fined.
Or we could trust that the AGI intended for the system to be down.

And now, on to heating our dinner with friction.
ChatGPT is down, has the AI retreated?
AI slop is perfect for reducing usefulness of transparency: you can generate so much bullshit nobody will ever be able to discern what is worth looking at even if you can have access to everything. We aren't there... yet (but perhaps ask Google how is their search product doing in the past couple years). I'd love to hear what Shannon would have to say about this situation.
From my interview at facebook some four years ago, I am inclined to believe they disable intelisense so the candidates do not get tangled up in the minutiae of language syntax, function arguments, etc. and instead focus on the algorithm they are trying to write.
aha, Plücker is how one gets Grassmann back down to dot/cross memory traffic?

K is developer Whitney's, or
Wit is threefold Halving, dedicatedly?

I am disappointed there is no Spice Girls schlager/cover band named Die Würze in der Schürze.

(although if I'm browsing YT for 90s covers, I guess that strongly implies my stage name should be "Old Spice")

March: when the elite need to seed their wheat to beat the heat. (no more chill? get the drill!)

EDIT: Sheaves, stalks, epis, germs, and fields — it just occurred to me that your noon demon in the rye might be metaphorical? (what is temperature in mathematics? the ratio of entropy delta, which makes sense, to energy delta, which requires a suitable def'n...)
I have empathy for the false negatives. I have been them, or maybe at times I'm simply a false positive, the problem is those people are likely to freeze no matter the interview.

Further still, I get push back with folks citing self-prescribed medical conditions, but the same people generally display the same behaviours during the working day.

So other than contract to hire, which typically limits you to people with a job, I don't personally have a better way.
> They were full of the most disgusting bigoted hateful rhetoric. It actually made me feel quite uncomfortable, thinking about who was writing and distributing it.

It's really weird that the people behind Epoch, are the same that one can find peacefully protesting in many major cities against the treatment they receive in China.

I have to say, their behaviour in recent years made me rethink their claims about illegal organ harvesting. I know both things, they being a hateful cult and being oppressed and killed by the Chinese regime, can be true, but their alignment with far right groups and conspiracy theorists is hard to overlook.
If they didn't have RCE but could push config to the router, they might have pushed a syslog destination and then mined the logs. URLs for uncrypted HTTP requests could end up in the logs due to ALG, parental filtering or any other numbers of features. If you replayed such URLs from a large enough set of victims over a long enough period of time, you'd find something valuable in a response sooner or later.
You're right. I wasn't clear, I didn't mean IPC goes up by 3% with that change, I've used that as an example of how 3% can be significant.
More user hostility. Less user choice.

I remember a few years ago on here everyone crowing about the new Microsoft and how it wasn't like the old one. It's notably worse a this point.
Clearly. :)
Interesting project!
Do you train/fine-tune the model yourself? If so, how do you measure if it improves, etc.
The consumer needs Intel to get back to somewhere within reach of competitive semi manufacturing. Fingers crossed though the past decade doesn't inspire hope...
As far as I’m aware you can still manually disable the internet connection and get a local install: https://www.tomshardware.com/how-to/install-windows-11-witho...

Yes it’s a real pain and it should be way simpler to do. Microsoft makes it pretty hard to like windows…
Thanks, I've been looking for something like this for a while!

Hope you don't mind a few additional suggestions/feature requests!

- Single key scroll up/down a page of text (can work around it on my laptop keyboard with fn-down but would prefer not to have to use two hands).

- Maybe customizable key bindings? (i.e, I'm used to hitting space to scroll down a page of text, and don't need to open the story in a browser so often)

- Key binding to toggle "best", or even better, filters to view only the top N stories (I use this[1] site a lot for that).

Alan Moore's motivational wisdom [video]
> "...and found no history of abuse..."

Because they didn't have enough logging or auditing to start with, or no logs or audit data left since the hack.
At some point you will want to manage your own software supply chain. A C++ compiler is the bare minimum, but then you'll surely want a Python environment too, and of course some npm packages for the frontend. Then you'll want some cross-compilation - for the new ARM processors, or maybe you want a different libc. After that you need caching and remote builds, because build times are a pain in the ass.

Here you come to realize that Nix already comes with all that out of the box, with some minimal tweaking.

Jails/chroots/containers are an orthogonal thing, though often whatever comes out of your software supply chain you'd want to run containerized too.
struggle sessions usually involve public torture or executions. it's laughable to compare "being mildly inconvenienced" with that.
This is a good assessment. 1 and 2 are why the system won't change, but I don't think they were intentionally designed with that in mind. I think it's a hang over from academia, bearing in mind how many of the top engineers at FAANG are PhDs.

Well, that and how almost nobody who successfully finds employment after "grinding" leetcodes wants to remove the barriers for entry.

I think Leetcoders can't envisage a better way to assess someone than by subjecting them to the same kind of hoop-jumping you get made to do in university. They're not interviewing you for a job as there's no module on interviewing candidates on the CS curriculum, and don't have much professional experience outside of academics or software engineering. They're simulating a dissertation defence, because that's how they were assessed for their competence.

That's my charitable interpretation. If I'm being cynical, it's elitism - a way of making sure you're "one of us" (read: obnoxiously academic, Type-A personality, "logic over feelings").
"Compare the 7945HX3D to any Apple CPU on the same 5nm process with a similar TDP and the 7945HX3D will generally have similar if not better performance."

Sounds interesting, do you have numbers - s I get this argument often, that on the same node, Apple is so much better.
Is the problem that this kind of tool doesn't exist because hiring data is so fragmented? Some data on different ATS platforms, some on LinkedIn, but all with restricted APIs?
iTunes Match from Apple. (I think the limit is still 100,000 songs.)

iTunes Match gives you access to all of your music
on all of your devices, even songs that you've
imported from other sources such as CDs.

Proton's encryption provides privacy by default - we cannot access any of the email content, email attachments, calendars, files stored on Proton Drive or passwords, 2FA codes, notes etc. on Proton Pass, and therefore cannot share any of this with any third parties.
We have also discussed such baseless claims of connections to NSA with our users on multiple occasions, including here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonMail/comments/14demhj/debunki....
Have you looked for options already?
Whilst I agree with this, I'd take it further: engaging with a system (it could be a bureaucracy, office culture, a manipulative family) exactly as is expected will destroy a person as it did K.
Apparently[1] Snapdragon X is cost-competitive with Intel. That article discusses Raptor Lake on Intel 7, which is known to have razor thin margins, but Meteor Lake is reportedly expensive too. Intel's uncompetitive foundries continue to be an millstone around their neck.

I'm sceptical of Snapdragon X's real world performance until these things actually ship. There's a lot of big promises made. Intel promises big too.

As others have been pointing out, Lunar Lake is on N3B and N3E (M4) is booked up by Apple.
I once worked with a guy who was an incredibly good developer and I was surprised when he didn't see anything special about the number 64 (i.e. a power of two) - turns out that he'd never done any bit fiddling type work so he hadn't had to think in those terms. It wouldn't surprise me if a lot of people hadn't heard of "mod" either....
Any usable alternatives to Translate?
As long as there's a buck to be made.
I'm so happy my brand new computer a few years ago was deemed not powerful enough for Windows 11 so I stayed on 10. Windows for home users is clearly in a death spiral.
Under an hour is... not enough time for an interview. Needs to be under 20-30 minutes given that most interviews are 60 minutes and the other 20-50% is taken up by other conversation.
I once froze in an interview when asked a simple technical question - I'd been giving a presentation for an hour on how to launch a new product and I was asked by the CEO how to do something technically trivial - my brain could not do it. So he probably thought I was some marketeer pretending to be technical - which isn't really true.

I suspect quite a lot of people who are labelled as "can't code" are freezing like I did.
> When we started working on GetCalFresh, the online application was about 200 questions across 50 or so screens.

And that is why people who want to send you marketing e-mail have literally a single field: e-mail address. Not even a 2nd field "name" so they can send you personalized email, or "date of birth" so they can send you special offers for your birthday.
> all the skills my employees will need can be learned on the job.
> optimize the time it takes for an arbitrary hire to become independent

So you are looking for somebody in top 5% cognitive ability and top 5% independence which is what pretty much every other employer wants.

My advice is if you can pay competitive FAANG salaries (or compensate lower salaries by prestige/saving humanity/bringing people to Mars), just do what everyone else is doing - Leetcode, behavior interview and architecture interview. Innovate on something else, standard interview process will give you smart motivated folks.

If you can’t pay those salaries, you need to be creative and decide what compromises you are ready to make and tailor interview process to them. No one size fits all process here. You are essentially looking for people who failed in standard process while still posses qualities you need. Expect to spend more time on hiring and have more bad hires.
The Rise, Fall, and Rise Again of Snapdeal
While Flipkart and Amazon together hold 86% of market share in Indian e-commerce, Snapdeal has been able to carve out a 13% share for itself.

The journey hasn’t been linear though; it saw:
- initial steady growth
- failed merger with Flipkart
- a comeback with Snapdeal 2.0

And the strategy lies in Tier-II and III focus. (Zudio also adopted this strategy.)

India's e-commerce market is experiencing a boom, fueled by increasing internet penetration and smartphone adoption. However, a significant portion of this growth is coming from beyond the metros.

Tier-II and III have a large population with rising disposable incomes and a growing appetite for online shopping.

Snapdeal understands that these consumers are value-conscious and seek a wider product selection beyond just premium brands.

This insight forms the core of Snapdeal's value proposition.
> In his opinion, if suspension of disbelief becomes necessary, it's a sign that the writer has failed

I mean on the base universe level there are tiny ink blobs on paper. There is no Frodo, there is no Middle Earth, there is no words or sentences just ink marks on paper. Anything other than that is the "suspension of disbelief" already.
Honestly I think both things are true: the consumer apps division of MS is more open and is being allowed to follow the money, even to other OSs. The Windows division is doubling down on all of the worse practices that the law allows them to try to extract some more value from their users.

Thankfully the EU has forced them to curb some of these practices, even if the process is still intentioanlly obtuse. For example, you can't upgrade to an EU version of Windows if you didn't start with one - you have to reinstall Windows from scratch, without preserving any other user settings, and choose an EU country as your locale at this step. Only then do you get to uninstall Edge and no longer need to manually opt-out of all their tracking crap. I'm sure they've still kept a lot of illegal tracking around for now too, though I'm hopeful that in time they'll be forced to remove even that.
I just use the Dash to Dock plugin on Debian, a few custom key bindings for switching virtual desktops and the default dark theme. One could probably customize it to some extent using their stupid gconf registry. KDE is probably fine as well, but I've never used Plasma and the and one was too much like Windows. Thats's the beauty of the Linux desktop, where was always choice.
The "navy and army" argument is usually employed when the question arises whether something is a dialect or a separate language. IMHO such Creoles should also be classified as languages, with the caveat of dialect continuums.

Creole is a weird case IMHO because English itself is pretty much a creole between Old English, Norman French, Norse, and some Gaelic and Pictish languages.
Mamba is technically a recurrent neural network (and typically decodes as such), simply of a constrained architecture that among other things keeps the norms of its matrixes finite independently of gating. I think that the above paper confused the word “state” to make some cheap points that may have hit the social networks at the time, yet it didnt demonstrate a practical benefit of earlier RNN over mamba, and the example looks a bit silly. If one had used resnet in vision with less than 4 layers to make a point, then that would be the equivalent of this paper. It might have been stronger, if the authors cared more, but we will not find out.
The point of faster chips is to make computer programs faster. We've increased performance a thousandfold and yet programs almost always take more than a frame (16ms) to update. Once everything is rendering at absolute 60FPS (and actually, 144FPS would be nice), and the hardware is reasonably cheap (Raspberry Pi cost perhaps), then the point is to make software development cheaper.
Wow, this is an incredibly detailed post mortem writeup. Western counterpart agencies normally do not provide such detailed reporting to the press when they catch spies.

Fascinating to read the tactics used
I think the best way to solve this iis having an easy way to set the theme per-app. Any time an app is broken because of a theme, I have to either switch back to the default or submit a bug report and hope it's fixed / fix it myself. If I could just, let's say, right click on the window in the taskbar and click "use theme > default > always for this app", incompatibility with a theme wouldn't be a real problem, just mildly annoying.
Layla Lite? App.

Apple jumped onto the split-core train early on. High performance cores for being good in IPC and low performance cores for multi core workloads with overall low power usage.

Apple has the benefit of controlling the OS, so no scheduler problems.

Intel came later but seems to make good advances, if you look at e-Cores in Lunar Lake.

I predict AMD will go the same route (way bezond 5c), now that x86 also focuses on performance/watt and not peak performance (if you watch the announcements).
Show HN: I made an AI to identify TikTok trends and save you from guessing
Hey HN,

I am Anna, a self-taught developer.

A few months ago, I realized that my sister, who is a freelance content creator, was spending hours on TikTok every day trying to spot trends, only to end up overwhelmed.

So, I created an AI tool that analyzes real-time TikTok trends and generates fresh content ideas, saving you from the guesswork and mental overload.

Please let me know your thoughts.

Thanks!
Anna
During early COVID, they also reported that, based on calls to overloaded crematoriums under false name, the number of COVID deaths was much higher than given in the official figures. Those official figures were eventually corrected upwards, confirming the Epoch times reports.
3) It's also a form of hazing to make the engineers conducting the interview feel better about their current station.
The reason I said it is because they seemed to be implicitly dismissing anything that isn't a historical material factor (i.e. dismissing an ideological explanation that doesn't address the historical material conditions)
