Bello, fellow Minion! Let me tell you about the banana-tastic article I just read called "LIKE SLUGS THROUGH THE HOURGLASS, THESE ARE THE DAYS OF OUR TECH TRIUMPHS"!
Minion 1: Ooh, banana! Tell me more!
Minion 2: Bananaaaa! What's it about?
Minion 1: Well, it's like a big banana split of tech job market woes! The writer talks about how interest rates going up made tech jobs go splat, like mushy bananas.
Minion 2: Papoy! That sounds bad for techie bananas!
Minion 1: Totally! And get this - some companies want one Minion to do the work of many Minions! They call it "Everything Bagel" jobs, but it's more like asking for a banana, apple, and potato all in one fruit!
Minion 2: Bapple? Bapple bad!

This is great, so I wanted to know if ChatGPT would follow these instructions and asked it to summarise the page. It summarised it to 1 short paragraph talking about... basic income? But that's not in the article (unless the author uses a different term, I tried a few). So I asked ChatGPT why it got it wrong, and it then said, after having claimed a summary previously, that it actually can't summarise web pages (which I'm fairly sure it can). I told it that was stupid and it removed that message and I got a message telling me it violated ChatGPT's content policies.

So a computer just lied to me, lied to me again, and then censored my response in case it, what, offends the computer? How do people use this garbage?

Edit: tried this with Gemini and it just gave me a summary about interest rates and layoffs. That's more what I was expecting.
I would be the one hiring, replacing you in this made up scenario. Regardless of the position you are hiring for you would hire me under your process because I can talk your ear off for hours and can outsource the take home. My point is I shouldn't have to have such unrelated skills.
You're in Poland.. In California there are certainly (probably less than a few thousand) people making these rates. They've been there 20 years and are principals and above.
> I sure hope you aren't just grilling a college student with 4 hours of quizzes.

You misunderstood. 4-5 hours was for the entire interview across all steps, not a single 4-5 quiz session.

At minimum, you need to have some time for the candidate to ask about the company and learn about the team, too. Suggesting everything gets crammed into a single 1 hour conversation where both parties make a huge decision is not going to work for most.

Most candidates won’t even like that these days. They want to talk to the company, not get quizzed for 60 minutes and then asked to quit their current job and join this new company
Show HN: Llm2sh – Translate plain-language requests into shell commands
This is my take on the common "use llms to generate shell commands" utility. Emphasis is placed on good CLI UX, simplicity, and flexibility.

`llm2sh` supports multiple LLM providers and lets LLMs generate multi-command sequences to handle complex tasks. There is also limited support for commands requiring `sudo` and other basic input.

I recommend using Groq llama3-70b for day-to-day use. The ultra-low latency is a game-changer - its near-instant responses helps `llm2sh` integrate seamlessly into day-to-day tasks without breaking you out of the 'zone'. For more advanced tasks, swapping to smarter models is just a CLI option away.
There’s really not so much in medicine you can teach yourself outside of the second half of medical school and residency. That is the real training — on the job.

Sure you can get a head start on some preclinical subjects or may study them as part of an undergrad, but that isn’t the “hard” part.
You simply can’t teach yourself to be a doctor, since the job is so intimately tied to a complex setting you must participate in, and there’s no Linux kernel or GitHub equivalent.

What competition?

I do agree that companies don’t really care for public sentiment as long as business is going as usual. Nvidia is printing money with their data center hardware [1] where half of their yearly revenue comes from.

That's a high bar - in my experience (New Zealand) 1/3 of candidates can't even write any form of code to retrieve a random element from an array. 1/3 have to be nudged along and asked some leading questions, and 1/3 are "what the heck are you asking me that for, I can do that in my sleep, that better not be indicative of the quality of coders... "

There is just so much misrepresentation out there it's insane.
It doesn't make sense because artistic tastes are idiosyncratic, making popularity as the sole criterion worthless, and the volume of art work overwhelms anyone's ability to even superficially consider.

The only scalable solution is to use machine learning, as all the big players do. They're never going to be much better than Spotify. I'd be surprised if they got even close.

I suppose there might be a use case for A&R types who are on the hunt for new material, rather than casual listeners.
Tried that. Word got out that people could get paid for interviews. Got a lot of people using us for paid interview practice with no intention of joining.

Stopped doing that.
Would you mind sharing that fragment?

I'm a 53 year old en_GB speaker and writer and long term owner of a copy of "Usage and abusage: A Guide to Good English" and long ago decided to boot the bloody thing into the long grass.

You and I (and every other interaction involving English) decide how English is spoken or written. At least Partridge uses the term "guide" for his treatise. There is no such thing as a pure English, finely polished and honed to a razor edge and delivered with equanimity. I think the best we can all hope for is to be mutually understood.

Given all that, I don't think I've ever heard of a "sentence fragment". It sounds like a grammar sin, probably funded by the lower circles of hell. I attended several very posh schools in the UK as well as the standard education system hereabouts and I don't recall that term being used. Perhaps I was asleep at the time.

I've done a quick search and this is dreadfully fluffy: https://www.grammarly.com/blog/mistake-of-the-month-sentence...

I'd love to hear what "sentence fragment" really means: to whom and why.

After I went on my own in 2000 I use one rule: only look for smaller privately owned companies whose core business is not software development and who need some software products to support their business. It takes some skill to find but then if you clicked with the owner you / your tiny company will be spared from usual bullshit like SCRUM, why don't you use this framework / language, what this esoteric language construct means etc. etc. The only thing you will have to prove is that you are successful in delivering products to owners. I already had the reputation when I went on my own and just kept accumulating happy clients and references.
where are your facts to back this up then?
I'd assume that the purpose of a simple question like that is to test basic programming skills (can you write a loop?). Testing knowledge of a specific math concept is doesn't really fit into this goal, so you're unlikely to be penalized for it.
It’s not free, they print money, thereby devaluing the currency to pay for this.
Harsh but honest feedback.

This is AI slop. Every tiny bit of it is obviously GenAI/LLM generated. I don't know how much effort you expended but you didn't learn a single thing by doing this. It's crap and the internet is worse because it exists.
That is delicious.

I'm absolutely certain that she loved it. I would've. That's too funny not to.
> I sure hope you aren't just grilling a college student with 4 hours of quizzes.

My 4-5 hours above was including all calls, from start to finish.

I was not saying a 4-5 hour sit down interview as stage 1 of the process was a good idea.
> training a legion of mystics

Oh yeah!

But what does that mean?
4-5 hours was for the whole process, recruiter call, screening call, time for questions from the candidate, negotiation, and others.

I was not suggesting every candidate gets a 4-5 screen at the start.

First, I pretty sorry that VisCircuit is unfriendly on mobile now. I currently focus on desktop web development and didn't spend too much time on mobile.
For other feedbacks:
1. Timing diagram: It is a great advice! Thanks. Timing diagram is important for digital design. I wrote it down and plan to do in the future.
2. Data privacy: I totally agree, so I take data privacy at the first priority issue to make sure users data will be protected correctly.
3. I agree with you that the world needs a tool to draw circuits as easily as on a whiteboard. During my work, I always use PowerPoint to draw circuits, but it is not good enough. I will work hard to make VisCircuit an easy-to-use circuit diagram editor.

Thanks for your feedback! Welcome to try it at a computer.

> It is well known in the computer graphics community that the arc length of cubic Bézier curves has no closed form and has to be computed numerically. Sadly, I’ve not yet seen a proof sketch for that, though.

A cubic Bezier curve B(t) is a cubic polynomial of t in [0, 1], parameterized by the four control points. Since it is continuously differentiable, its length is the integral from 0 to 1 of the square root of (1 + (B')^2), a quartic. Such an integral is well known to be reducible to the elliptic integrals, which have no closed form.

It’s worth noting that the rejection cited rule 4.7, which only applies on Apple’s App Store and not for Notarization [1]. I would think that if the dev applied for EU distribution it would likely be accepted.

By extension, Apple might then also accept it for the App Store to prevent third-party stores from having ‘exclusive apps’, as has happened with both Delta (and emulators in general) and UTM SE [2].

As of now, the code is just a proof of concept for achieving higher throughput than what currently available tools (e.g., nping/hping3) are capable of. Other than that, nping is just too slow, and hping3 has not been updated in 12 years; in any case, both of them lack proper support for "newer" TCP/IP features (e.g., DSCP/ECN instead of IP ToS, or TCP Options in general).

I am currently in the process of re-writing this proof of concept to actually become a full-fledged alternative to those tools. At first, I was planning to fork hping3 as to maintain it, but its code just had too many questionable design choices; there were global variables and unnecessary function calls all over the place.

English sentences need a subject and a verb. Often a sentence fragment missing a verb (like this).
A former president added 3 justices to the Supreme Court and hundreds to the federal judiciary, and those appointees are now shielding him from prosecution for his crimes.

In his current campaign, he has discussed discarding the Constitution and has schemed to throw out election results that don't favor him.

He openly admires foreign fascists and enemies of the US, including Putin and Orban. His last attempt at ending peaceful democratic transitions of power only failed because his vice president was more loyal to the US than to him.

Many people are rightfully worried that he will win and end peaceful democracy in the US, which he has openly promised to do by refusing to accept any unfavorable election results.
I don't often get excited when I see a new language, but this is really neat! It's not just another lisp or forth variant, but seems to be in a class of its own (if anything it reminds me of smalltalk, but claims to not be object oriented). I'm quite interested to see where this project goes!
> I'd like to believe this is true, but it fails to explain why candidates for other business functions don't receive the same scrutiny.

I don’t know where this idea comes from. Other roles at most companies I’ve worked for have had plenty rigorous screenings for people, often including more reference checks, portfolio reviews, work samples, presentations, and other things.
> As if seeing the problems and being given the authority to solve them always came in pairs.

My point is that there's no value in seeing the problems if you can't or won't do anything about them. Like he seems to want to be congratulated/rewarded/hired for being able to blame other people for the failure of the places he previously worked at.

I'd think that self-hosting is a niche that grows in appeal over time.

We're one "they trained the LLM on our private repos and it leaked" scandal away from undermining a lot of trust in cloud services.

There are probably also businesses that end up into compliance scenarios where it's easier to walk an auditor over to the rack and point at the VCS server rather than trying to get the right testimony from the cloud providers.

I agree that often a decade old laptop is more than enough.

I have a Macbook from 2013 which has 2 USB ports, headphone jack, thunderbolt, HDMI and an SDXC card slot, which is more than enough for me and it still works great (albeit the battery).

But it's an odd comparison taking the Dell latitude and comparing it to a Macbook Air, when the Macbook Air is designed around portability to the max.

If you look at the Dell machines of today, you have the Dell XPS which legitimately only has two external ports that are USB-C, then you have the Dell Inspiron which has 2 USB ports, 1 USB type c, headset port, HDMI port and an SD card slot.
Eh. What you're detecting is the quality of the (product) management, not the quality of the engineers. Although also my data is ten years out of date, and Amazon's quality varies vastly across teams and orgs.
> If this was my company, we would be on GitHub since GitLab Ultimate is super fucking expensive and those security tools are buggy as hell.

That’s my concern, too: there are some appealing features on paper but I’d bet it’s going to be like everything else where you get to debug a convoluted thicket of YAML & scripts when you get out of the simplest use-cases, and you can spend time writing tools to paper over the rough edges. GitHub certainly isn’t perfect but I feel it’s a lot less common that it seems like the developers don’t use their own product.
Funny, but I can't imagine that shitting on tech companies or the hiring process is likely to help one get hired anyplace..

None, but a) if you can't write that trivial code I don't want to be on a team with you anyway because I'm going to be teaching you how to basically think, and b) the part where you talk about the code, not the part where you write it, is the part where I try to detect if you're any good at communication or abstract thought.

(disclaimer: all of this is notwithstanding the fact that some people's brains shut down specifically during interviews/places where they feel under pressure, which I have nothing but sympathy for. Afaik that's an unsolved problem with coding interviews. I would always try to lower their stress but it is not a sure thing.)

There is no default system memory allocator in Zig--this is a signficant difference between Zig and C or Rust.

If you want to allocate in Zig, you have to cough up an allocator and pass it around.

The downside is that a lot of things need an allocator and that makes some things more complicated (printing to console, for example). The upside is that if there is no allocator being passed, you're guaranteed to not be allocating/deallocating memory.
