Assymetry makes a certain amount of sense. Employees don’t take $0 for a long time and generally aren’t having as large a pay cut as founders afterwards. Most of the founders I’ve worked with have had the seniority to justify the top salary in the company and have typically had pay at or near the bottom. Someone operating at that extreme getting to trade equity doesn’t necessarily mean that everyone should get to.
That's entirely fair, it's just important to maintain that context in case someone stumbles upon it and takes it at face value thinking it's legally equivalent.
> I think it was a Russian operation,

But the russians have the valves, and the "just stop the sancions and we bring back the gas supply"... why would they destroy their own pipes.

And again.. it's what "you think"... is there proof?

> But at the same time I would not be very surprised that a small group of Ukrainian operatives (as rumoured) did it to deprive Russia of income from the gas line.

Ok, so you don't know who it was... but it might be a biggest terrorist attack on german infrastructure, and the "antiterrorist" action by germany is to send them more weapons?
I love it when people post studies just because it agrees with their worldview. For full disclosure, I support the 4 day week but I know to be objective. None of those links contain references to proper RCT with control groups or a variety of office roles so there is really no evidence for it. Trial plus survey is a better term as it carries no scientific connotations.

You are not really going to get your average companies to participate in those kind of studies anyway. Those companies want warm bodies and it has nothing to do with empirical evidence
I'm not sure what the job market is like in Europe, but in the US it's the worst job market I've seen since the dotcom bust. The job market isn't worse than the Dotcom bust but it's worse than the Financial crisis for sure. I wouldn't freak out just yet, however, I would also dedicate a lot more effort to learn whatever stack and language that is more popular in your area. Sticking with C and waiting for the right job to appear isn't a good idea. Also, there's no shame in lying on your resume to show some experience in whatever language you are looking to transition to, like golang. As long as you can walk the walk, ultimately that's all that matters.
They must've hard-coded something in recently, because I've got a permanent injection of scantily clad tiktok booty into my feed as well, and my account had no changes for years. I think they're just blanket applying it to all men now.
As a Founder , I believe it is not fair for someone to look for job applications on company time and sharpening your skills for next job - in time and resources that your company had paid for. Since you have problems with upper management - tough it up , talk about it face to face in a polite manner and highlight their toxic behavior . Tell them you don't like the way you are being treated and you can't continue this way. Since you had been there for so long already it will work in your favor. If things don't go in your way and if you get fired , they need to pay you 3 months - and during that time , you are good enough to learn new things.
The market is going through a massive liquidity crunch and startup funding, therefore tech hiring is at an all time low since 2010s.

This is not you but the market. Consolidate and don't take this as a judgement on your skills sir.

C will never go out of fashion.
Somehow the transformer architecture does pretty well at this task, and other architectures do not. You could say a transformer has "innate grammar", while other architectures do not.

That an LLM does well at grammar doesn't prove or disprove this possibility. A more poignant criticism of "innate grammar" would be that it's not a hypothesis that can be disproven, and as such not really a scientific statement.
It was the biggest terorist attack on german infrastructure ever. It was billions of investment and an ecological disaster.... why wouldn't I care? Why do you not care?

If someone burned your car today, would you care? I mean... do you wan't to support chinese spare parts manufacturers?
The buffet analogy isn't very compelling when ordinary people will watch video on their phones for long periods, easily using 3GB+ per hour.

I don't want more data, I just want flexibility.

(If we really want to force a buffet analogy, it's like living in a dorm with a permanent buffet, but you're not allowed to bring buffet food into the lounge or back to your room.)
It is probably needless to say, but you do not have to agree with someone on everything, especially to admire someone's knowledge or contributions in specific fields.
This is exactly it. AI bots have no volition. The internet will be endeadened by people training bots on fake data posted by people running bots.

Bots don't kill internets, people do.
I don't think it's about technology here. It's about economics.

Electric cars (credits to Tesla), especially the first generation basically used a ton of the same cells found in (some) laptops.

The demand for electric cars, thus batteries fuelled a huge increase in manufacturing capacity, which dropped prices. And maybe I'm wrong but the cheaper batteries made drones more affordable, so that industry got a boost with investment.

A lot of things aren't limited by technology, but by capital and market incentives.

Which to me actually shows the limitations of this system as we could have had electric cars decades ago. We could have had this revolution decades ago. What a different world we would have had.
I mean... considering the rise of AfD, people do care.

Would you really not care if someone burned your car?
Wow, yeah, they have even trickled down to AliExpress already [1]! Hadn't seen that, thanks for the tip!

Pricing for the one linked (cheapest when I sorted my search results, but magic happens when you sort by price on AE so take with a pinch of ... sodium I guess) is around $9 for a single cell (3 V, 3500 mAh) or $100 for a 20-pack. No idea if chargers are available, haven't checked.

Edit: actually include the link.

Yeah frustrating process for sure, I wasn't necessarily challenging those aspects, just that I hadn't seen many companies distributing mac apps through the mac app store (for many of the reasons above).
Are you able to disclose the URL of the website?
How often are you writing to the database? Every few seconds or minutes?
Thats a psyop people use to put the blame for a crappy job market on the employee.

"start your own business"

"your network is your net worth"

if these are your two options then the job market for that skill is really bad
Moving residence in the EU is not a trivial thing--housing, family, taxes, even language can play against you.
I would think listing C would be better?

The notion of applying for senior engineer for a lang you’ve not worked in doesn’t make sense to me. Obviously you’d learn but that might be part of the reason for rejection
The conversation is fundamentally about humans and technology.

The equation is roughly result = some human's intent * available technology

If some human (or organisation)'s intent is to deceive the elderly at scale and their reach is that much greater now due to new technology, what part of the conversation stops due to there being a human in the loop?
The unfair thing in the scenario you describe is the employee choosing to upskill while they continue to do their jobs? And not the company firing them for speaking their mind - giving them 3 months of runway to switch careers in a situation OP already said felt like a shit job market?

Micromanaging employee time is one of the worst signs of a toxic company culture. And definitely not a sign of an efficient one
This is a horrible advice. If a simple and harmless lie is detected, you destroy your credibility completely. Nothing you say will have any meaning, even if you prove it. You lied once, you can lie again. The risk of hiring you is very high, even if you fit the position nicely.
Greece ithink they said
> But the US did not like that. The US turned Ukraine into a big thorn against Russia.

Was it the US that annexed Crimea?

Was it the US that financed and supported the separatists in Donbass?

Was it the US that started the largest war in Europe since WWII?
> But the russians have the valves […]

Why spout this nonsense?

Gazprom were (are) contractually obliged to deliver gas through the pipe as long as they are able to do so. If they just shut if off Germany and Netherlands and USA could legally seize anything they needed to satisfy the contract from the company's international assets.
Social media was already becoming soulless even before AI generated content. Most common: reposting other people's content. Sometimes with attribution, sometimes without, either way the original creator doesn't get any of the likes or revenue share.

Then we get into staged content. Usually it's harmless; acting out a made-up scenario for a comedy bit. But sometimes it gets more insidious, particularly the ones where people pretend to do good deeds but are just inventing a sob story about strangers who didn't ask for help and didn't actually need it.

And people eat this up. You'll find some skeptical comments but it's absolutely drowned out by the volume of people who think it's real and share. And it's unlikely that all tens of thousands of those people are bots. I'm lead to believe that this kind of low-quality, questionably-real, feel-good content is just legitimately popular. Not hugely popular but enough to make me groan that people are engaging with it at all.

To tie things back to AI, the latest groan-worthy trend is people sharing pictures of things made out of bread or fruit that are obviously made by AI but the comments are "incredible" "wow how did you make this?" which makes me fear for when somebody uses AI image generation for misinformation instead of just stupid stuff.
Pretty much all sharpening skills happens on someone’s company’s time.
Others probably have golang experience when applying for golang jobs.
Looks great. How are you encoding the video into MP4? Ffmpeg with wasm? Or WebCodecs?

I’ve struggled to find a pure client-side encoder that is as fast, lightweight and high quality (in terms of lossiness) as what I had going with mp4-h264[1]. I suspended the project out of legal concern but it seems like the patents are finally starting to run their course, and it might be worth exploring it again. I’ve been able to use it to stream massive 8k near-pixel-perfect MP4s for generative art (where quality is more important than file size), compared to WebCodecs which always left me with a too-lossy result.

You're a senior in every way but one; coding Go.

Applying for a junior Go position would probably not be a good fit for you.

Applying for a mid-level Go position sounds uphill because competing candidates have 1-2 years of professional Go experience.

I would overcome that by accepting any opportunity to get real Go experience.

For example, I'm spending some extra hours every week for a money-less startup on an "I'll register the hours and you'll pay me next year" basis.

As a reward, I learn Phoenix/Elixir and Nix: The lead will spend time fast-forwarding me through the commands, and I can spend some hours that I don't bill them on qualifying. For my next interview, I can say I've spent X months doing Phoenix/Elixir and/or Nix in production. The money is secondary.

Alternatively: Use your network. What young people don't have is an abundance of acquaintances who took the management route who can vouch for your generic skill set and work ethics which don't translate into recruiter filter buzzwords.
Boeing should forget about the 737 Max and return to what they have been doing very well over the past couple of decades - buying back their stock and raising executive compensation.
Small countries in the EU tend to have extremely niche job markets in tech, largely because the choice is either very specialised work or generic IT services (not dev). Developers usually have a bad time of it.
> Also you’re in the EU so could feasibly move

You _could_, but reaslitically speaking the frictions with language, culture, and distance from family and friends probably makes this harder than maoving US -> Canada or vice-versa. The EU tried hard to overcome this, but they're fighting national differences and cultural borders older than Christianity.
I don't believe a private sale entitles one to ignore a stock options legal rights. What are the relevant details here I'm missing?
> Well that's all fun and games until you start putting off paying Internet bill for two weeks because it turns out that you misconfigured your password app and it actually didn't save your password to the utility service provider

As opposed to the centralized service that will kindly misconfigure it for you, or just discontinue it out from under you, or ban you because of a false positive, or ban you because of a true positive because you unwittingly violated their broad and ambiguous terms but you're still just as screwed.

> I believe this whole Apple vs Linux debate is perfectly analogous to the West vs East Germany debate, to the point that almost all intuitions/arguments for the latter are perfectly reusable in the former

The fallacy of Soviet Communism was the fallacy of central planning. The Party decides what's good for you and The Party is infallible so if you try to resist you'll be punished. Freedom of choice is heresy. Divergence is verboten.

Does that sound to you like the typical Linux user, or like Apple?
Teaching jobs increasingly require some sort of teaching career that is hard to bootstrap at the age OP mentioned, and pay a pittance--sometimes less than PA/clerical work.
Ive got a PWA forth coming, i expect to make a electron or other companion app to make.it self hostable via webrtc.
If you mean Moviepy, then yes, there are some advantages. As I mentioned in another comment, you can ship Revideo as part of your website and run it inside the browser. One of the reasons we struggled with Moviepy was that we couldn't preview our changes in real time which made the developer experience a bit tedious. We also like the syntax of our generator functions better, but that is of course subjective.
I would also like that the EU at the same time runs an investigation on the EU based automotive companies and their tactics because in the last 5 years we've seen extreme price increases (25%+) on car prices. Anything else is one sided with the consumer taking the burden.
> Well, we still don't even have a solution for nuclear waste.

We do. The requirement for hugely complex disposal sites is mostly a political one. There's very little long-term hazardous waste that we need to take care of, and we already know how to store it for a very long time.

Only 0.2% of all waste is long term highly radioactive: https://international.andra.fr/sites/international/files/202...
And more physical buttons. I can't leave my FiiO x3 1st gen because I can control it with a hand in my pocket.
> Rust supports compiling each crate as a separate .so and then linking all of them?

Yes, by passing crate-type=dylib to the compiler.
> Russia had already stopped the flow of natural gas to Germany.

Mostly yes (it was turned off and on a few times in the period prior until Canada and Siemens told them to stop), but missing a crucial detail: Europe called their bluff and threatened to seize Gazprom international assets unless they restarted the line. Soon thereafter the sabotage happened.
> sharpening your skills for next job

How do I even work for you without "sharpening my skills"?
In this case the problem is caused by citing sources - Google finds a list of links using their existing search tech and then produces a response using RAG based on the search results.

That’s where the problem is - it’s originally citing a Reddit post where someone recommends it as a joke, then Business Insider through citogenisis from the original story.

Pure LLMs (no RAG) don’t make this mistake - Claude will tell you it’s a bad idea and will taste bad.
> I've never seen SQLite used in a setup which multiple machines connect to the same database over a network.

Noting that the sqlite developers recommend against such usage:

https://sqlite.org/whentouse.html

Section 3 says:

3. Checklist For Choosing The Right Database Engine

- Is the data separated from the application by a network? → choose client/server
This is a horrible advice.

Don't lie about anything in your resume/CV. If you get called out, your whole reputation and your whole CV then is in Question.
Of those three conditions it’s the one that sounds the most like it’s just there to give the studio a chance of getting the last word in a negotiation.
have you got any further reading on this topic?
I wouldn't recommend lying about age. That's going to backfire.

Padding the resume isn't a bad idea. If you've worked in C, and taught yourself Go, you're senior in my book. I mean, you may not know the gnarly corners of the language and eco system, but that's easy enough to pick up.
I guess harden the fuck up?
You must not be very familiar with the way those are clustered in a few specific countries and the extraordinarily long and bureaucratic recruiting times.
Perhaps a biased view but fter teaching students from colleges I feel that most who are "born in the high level" world float comfortably without needing to understand fundamentals (memory, OS interfaces, arch, drivers, crashes, ..).

As soon as something basic goes down or when you have unexpected dives into low level stuff, the fair weather pilots are suddenly out of their depth.

I started with C, eventually moved into business roles and honestly wasn't even that good a dev. But looking at the uncertainty ahead in the world from a climate point of view, I sometimes worry about the future of tech talent.

We are losing tech veterans at a high rate and gaining a lot of chatgpt devs. I once remember a stackoverflow outage from my dev days and a large part of team went on vacation in the second half as we were so used to asking and copying.

Any fragility to modern infra will make us fall so hard on our faces I fear and hope I am wrong.
The ESP32 modules are available with or without the antenna built in, and the chips have an on-chip ethernet MAC peripheral, display support via on-chip LCD, I2C, or SPI peripherals, and camera via the on-chip CAM peripheral.

Not all versions have all these features. You can pick one based on the features you need.
FYI, [Win + Shift + S] is quickest way in windows to copy selected area to clipboard, if that's all you need.

I use it nearly everyday for something e.g. posting snap of a code snippet or anything in slack to putting these clips in docs.

EDIT: Just tried Flameshot and loved that I can draw while taking a snap, instead of opening a new window and do the drawing in that. Looks like this is going to replace Win+Shift+S for me.
From the performance angle, there's one quoted down thread at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40656043

From the webapp angle check out, for example, pocketbase.io which is an open source Go supabase style backend which wraps sqlite. They have benchmarks etc available.
If you have a.desktop app, zetup a webrtc connection and you can create a teathered.webapp in PWA.
Give referrals and connections for referrals mainly. Walk them thru interview processes, help them brush up on skills, new advancements.

Had to take 3 years for a health problem during which I mentally just couldn’t code. Still looking and now finally able to practice projects again; it is difficult!
Finding work though a "family network" would be nepotism. Finding work through a professional network is entirely another matter. If the professional network consists of golfing buddies, no, that would not be a good thing. If it consists of peers one knows through prior work, conferences, etc., I see no reason for anyone to complain.
Or it could lead to more being planted.
Stora Enso say they are using FSA certified wood - and yes I am sure there are lots of scams in this 'certification', but I do see a positive possibility here.

> Also you’re in the EU so could feasibly move to where needs your exact skill set.

Uprooting your life when you are 25-30 is easier, can be a fun adventure, etc. Doing that when you are 50 is many layers more complicated.

Lying is absolutely a no-no, there's no upside, you will be forever in debt about a lie and in the case of something as easily detected as your age you will lose all credibility for a stupid reason.
Its likrly the.privacy options that prevent storage.
That is fair and personally I would argue that you should not comply with an unjust law like that (how's that for a "strong sense of justice" in autistic people?) but of course it's safer to avoid the legal risk of non-compliance by simply avoiding the diagnosis if it doesn't benefit you.

Frankly, the law doesn't make sense given that ASD is not a "medical condition" in the sense of being temporary or avoidable and the act of passing driver's ed and attaining a driver's license demonstrates your driving ability. If you were undiagnosed prior to attaining a driver's license, it clearly did not impact your ability. If you were diagnosed and attained a driver's license without disclosing your "condition" it clearly did not impact you either. It feels more like ASD is being used as a proxy for some other condition (learning disability?) that is not usually diagnosed directly.

IMO anyone fined for non-disclosure should try to take the case to whatever the Australian equivalent of the Supreme Court is. Surely some NGO must be willing to foot the bill.
All the recent attempts to monetize SQLite seem wrong to me, since its very core is about how to handle data without any third parties, embeded in your app and mostly on local storage.

Any cloud offering feels to me like offering a custom STL as a SaaS: if you're going over the network, why not use a database designed for this?

The only usecase I can see would be something like mini-DBs in an S3, which again would just be a library to abstract away.
