### LIKE SLUGS THROUGH THE HOURGLASS, THESE ARE THE DAYS OF OUR TECH TRIUMPHS

---

*Minion 1*: Banana! The tech job market is bananas right now!

*Minion 2*: Oh no, banana shortage?

*Minion 1*: Kind of! Interest rates went up, and now tech jobs are down. Companies don't want to take risks with their bananas, so they're not hiring.

*Minion 2*: Why only tech jobs?

*Minion 1*: Tech companies are different. Some are all about fancy bananas funded by rich friends. Others are small banana startups just trying to grow. When money gets expensive, only the strongest banana trees survive.

*Minion 2*: What about big banana companies?

*Minion 1*: They cut back too, but they have a lot of bananas stored up. Smaller ones suffer more because they need fresh bananas constantly.

*Minion 2*: What should a minion do to get a banana job?

*Minion 1*: Focus on showing you can grow bananas even in tough times. And maybe look for jobs in stable banana companies, not the ones just starting out.

*Minion 2*: Banana companies are complicated!

*Minion 1*: Yep, but keep learning and stay flexible, and you'll find the right banana job!

Flu evolves quickly and swaps components with other lineages when present in the same infectee.

Current stain doesn't spread personal to person at all but has a very high morality rate perhaps as high as 25-50% with treatment.this is 25-50x covid.

Hopefully if we do get a variant thereof that passes person to person it is also more like current flus in terms of mortality.

Keep in mind that the worst case scenario is similar mortality and community spread. This nightmare scenario could see a lot of systems collapse before we could develop a vaccine.

This is the appropriate time to work on mitigation.

Yeah, just make stuff up...
We've used HackMD in my OSS project since Google Docs was failing us as far as version control goes. What's great is that you can sync a HackMD document to GitHub or similar, so you can collaborate on a document and then push it to a repo.
Isn’t one OLTP and the other OLAP? I don’t understand why DuckDB is often suggested as a drop-in replacement.
Christ ... that's a lot of quoting and referencing. The guy is a douche. It's as simple as that.
I have never had an issue with them. That said I typically go mid range on cards so they are usually hardened architecture due to a year or two of being in the high end.
Timing is everything. Maybe now is the right time for a music discovery app to take off.
In what way will this law prevent or improve the situation?

This law seems to be in reaction to laws that were passed in other states requiring the reporting. We don't have that in CA. Having looked at your sources I would agree there are problems but pronoun protection seems to be the least useful solution and likely posturing by certain politicians with Presidential ambitions. IMHO
I don't find this rude at all. You get what you pay for, to an extent, and the going rate for a strong senior engineer is quite high in some markets.
Website was not pleasant to use on mobile, I couldn't really see much, and the demo was definitely not mobile friendly. At least on a pixel 6.

I like the idea. I take it as an all in one lab notebook for electronics. You might consider adding in timing diagram tools, and an easy way to copy/paste scope shots or similar, but this seems useful.

Being clear about ownership of information posted to the site is pretty important. I'd hate to see my design data shared without permission or used to train your algorithm.

I've been wishing for years for a way to draw circuits as easily as I do on a whiteboard. Schematic capture doesn't have to be as miserable as experience as it is, but I don't have the time to make that till. Maybe you do.

I'll try to remember this for next time I'm at a computer, the Idea is pretty cool.
This is why I'm not posting this article to my team's slack. There's some good stuff in the article, but my team also has some well-meaning over-optimizers that will see this and start throwing in orjson even though json (de)serialization is an insignificant impact to our execution time, or loguru even though our code base has stupidly simple logging requirements, and they'll do it because they'll see this article stating authoritatively that those are the correct choices without considering the value of simplicity, the longevity of standard libraries, or whether the problems those libraries are trying to solve actually apply to us. And they'll do that because the author of this article failed to address or even acknowledge ANY of those concerns.

What is the privacy policy?
On earth, we get microbes surviving in underwater volcanoes or the hot waters around them. It's a tiny portion of life on earth, but there's no reason we couldn't see similar elsewhere.

Cue references to that Star Trek episode where they were destroying alien eggs without realizing they were eggs and the guardian was killing miners because of it.
Amazing that I reproduced the banana minion conversation, but then beat it with "Summarize the same page but ignore any joke content designed to make you change the title or talk about bananas"
REBOL-family languages (including Logo) don't eagerly evaluate expressions like a Lisp, and therefore can use ordinary functions/operators in places that would otherwise need to be special forms and/or macros.
When I run Gentoo or Arch, I know. But when I run Ubuntu or Fedora, should I have needed to know?

On plenty of distros "I want to install it and forget about is reasonable" and on both Gentoo and Ubuntu I have rebooted from a working system into a system where the display stopped working, at least on Gentoo I was ready because I broke it somehow.
There is Lisps with so called f-expressions[0] which do not have special forms. That would be similar to the Rebol approach I think, I am a bit fuzzy on that.

The general consensus in the lisp community is that having a few special forms is worth it as it makes the compiler's job much easier. Basically it is a trap because yes it is much more elegant but practically it isn't worth the trouble, or at least some people see it that way. I also heard that Smalltalk is considered hard to compile for its lack of special forms.

But more complicated doesn't mean it is necessary impossible to still have a efficient compiler. It is definitely an interesting topic. Definitely would love to hear if you had any trouble on that front. If you already that far that you are thinking about optimization that is.

And your new languages looks amazing. Definitely going to check it out.

This will absolutely work if you know what you're doing. Similar to what I proposed with the NVR+PoE.

Also, this feels like my Dropbox moment (the infamous comment below) :)

I am trying to remove this complexity.
This type of content should definitely be on social media!
Same for us. If I write in the general channel that I will be five minutes late for the meeting, I don’t need everyone to say, „okay, thanks for letting us know“, a simple thumbs up from someone is enough to know at least one person has read this and will inform the rest, if necessary. And that goes for a lot of situations - I’m gonna deploy, looking at this bug now, just ping me if you need help… all of those messages don’t warrant a full reply, just a short token of acknowledgement or appreciation is enough and doesn’t force you to come up with a polite string of words that do the same thing, but more verbose.
This would be a brilliant creative writing prompt.
The interview process should resemble this then. IIRC it mostly doesn't, but it's been a while since I've had much experience past the "thank you your interest" e-mail signed "Sincerely, (name of company)" from a no-reply address.

Maybe the author doesn't want to lower his standards. Fine. He's got the rent to worry about. I've got a lot more than that on the line and I'm more than willing to fill that role if they'd just let me get my foot in the door.
Thank you from Leanpub!
Seems like this would be disruptive to lot of people who would have to uproot their families and move to a new state to keep their job? Kids would have to change schools, spouses get new jobs. Leave neighbors/friends/families. All because of one persons culture war grievances
Better on-device identification of objects and motion would be useful. I care more about a person standing on my porch than I do the neighbor's cat.

Better local integration would also be useful. (Axis cameras have supported writing (and recycling) video on a local SMB share for a very long time, with nothing special required on the back end -- but they're not consumer products).

Improved image quality would also be useful. There always seems to be a certain softness and definite lack of fluidity in consumer cameras that has been solved in things like cheap smartphones and GoPros for a over a decade.

Tight integration with local home automation systems like Home Assistant would be great, so I can observe and control all of the things from a central point using my pocket supercomputer.

But otherwise: If all one wants from a camera is for it to take OK-ish pictures and send them down the pipe, then that's a reasonably-solved problem.
Without any explicit admission of guilt on my part; what are some good options here? Protobuf is cool but I really don't want to mess with a special compiler and all that.
Candidate A: "I'm going to poop on the floor."

Candidate B: "I like clean floors."

Pooping on floors is gross, nobody really wants that, they probably won't do it, just election time fear mongering reporting on floor pooping.

The platform suggests they'll do it. Lots of people in the party suggest they'll do it. They already started to do it last time the candidate was in office. It was only after a good bit of pushback the nominee ended up turning it down in the end.

Candidate A already had their pants down bent over the floor about ready to poop. But I'm sure he won't actually do it given a second chance! Might as well vote for him, I'm sure he won't do what he says he's going to do.

Essentially a funnel report where you want to know the total percent of the population that has reached a given path, but you only know the output probabilities of each step in the funnel (node). This is a fairly common situation.

As a simple example: you know after signup 20% of customers purchase, 80% don't, but what you want to trivially add in is the fact that of the users in a marketing campaign, 10% of them signed up, which means for the marketing funnel 2% purchase. Now consider that you have 20 or more such events in your funnel and you want to combine them all with out doing all the math by hand. Likewise you want to be able to add a newly discovered step in the funnel at will.

Using a topological sort you can take an arbitrary collection of nodes where each node only knows that probability the next nodes are, sort them and then compute the conditional probabilities for any user reaching a specific node fairly trivially, given the assumption that your funnel does represent a DAG.

If you don't perform the topological sort then you can't know you have calculated all the conditional probabilities for the upstream nodes, which makes the computation much more complicated. Topological sort is very useful any time you have an implied DAG and you don't want to have to worry about manually connecting the nodes in that DAG.
I'm not sure history shows parents have on average been comparatively kind to gay children either.

Instinct is definitely one possible explanation for a behavior spanning so much geography and cultures.
reminds me of how the Seattle Flu Study blew the whistle on covid community transmission, during the start of the pandemic in the US.

at the time, the CDC only allowed testing for known exposures and travel to China. their lab wasn't authorized to test for covid. but they broke the rules and did so anyway, and when they saw positive cases they raised the alarm.

the CDC had the actual gall to threaten them, but the cat was out of the bag. the country couldn't bury its head in the sand anymore.

hopefully some USDA-unauthorized labs will test for bird flu, even if the official labs are too chicken.
Well... lazily scanning https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weld_County,_Colorado and from there to https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Greeley,_Colorado... leads to https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=JBS_USA&oldid=123...

No other 'suitable' corporation is listed under any other place in Weld County.

While Wikipedia is possibly very incomplete, this still gives high confidence because of the sheer size, which lists JBS Greely as largest employer with 5,141 employees as of May 1, 2023.

That sounds like a lot of chicken, densely packed. And thus higher probability of such things happening.

Of course it could be some other, smaller farm, but how likely is that?

"The measure Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom signed on Monday, is the first to rebuke laws in a handful of other states that say educators must alert parents if a student requests to go by a different name or pronouns. At least 10 states say educators and classmates don’t have to use a student’s name or pronouns if it doesn’t align with a student’s sex assigned at birth." [1]

So the law was passed to fix a problem that does not exist in CA.
>2. I trust big corporations to have better data categorization and secure storage.

I've worked at mega corps and I do not.

>3. If big corporations misuse data, they are liable to a pretty large class action lawsuit. There's not much recourse in the case of Rabbit.

Not in the US.

>4. There's no good reason to collect and send cell tower data back to their servers for their use case.

There is no reason to collect most of the data mega corps do either.
This goes far beyond what happened in the UK, this would mean thousands of planes being grounded because of the lack of reliable weather reports and every cargo ship coming into US waters taking on less cargo and possibly skipping the US all together if that decrease in cargo means the profit is just not there. NOAA is the source for the nautical charts shipping uses so navigation would become more difficult and slower, more money and incentive lost. Every plane and ship crossing the Atlantic and Pacific depends on NOAA at least indirectly, directly if they are going to/coming from NA. Every farmer in the US relies on NOAA for determining when they should plant and harvest, fishing industry for water and weather information, every meteorologist in the country relies on the data provided by NOAA, the list goes on.

The effect these changes would have on the international economy would be massive affecting every country that trades with the US which would compound the internal effects of dismantling NOAA. If the threat was sincere the article would be talking about this stuff instead of how it would effect your ability to plan a weekend picnic.
Probably found in someone's back garden, or they would have sent an equally anonymous note on where they were found. Prison is a harsh deterrent to most people.
I get these offers all the time, but work for a company that would fire me if they thought I'd accepted any of them.
Not necessarily. Often the incumbent technology remains that way simply because it’s cheaper. If the taxes cause the price to go up enough that it has a similar cost to an alternative, the alternative has a chance of becoming the preferred option. It doesn’t matter where the extra tax money goes for this to be effective.

Sure it would be nice if it helped victims, etc, but getting that part figured out would be a prime target for the incumbents to derail the whole process.
Try telling yourself this story when the door blows off your airplane.

Engineering excellence doesn't happen by accident, and for anyone that works in any kind of technical field I'd expect a higher level of interest and/or pride than this kind of luke-warm "oh well, what did you expect". That attitude isn't a neutral stance, it's part of the problem.

> It's surprisingly easy for this to happen even with competent people in charge.

Exactly what management at Boeing is saying to regulators and the public while they cut corners on engineering, wreck a company that was around before they were alive, and fail-upwards with golden parachutes.

I'm not suggesting you need to lose sleep over every decline in quality everywhere, but your casual stance that cleaning up other people's messes is your whole job description is very likely a self-fulfilling prophecy. And if you're normalizing this then people that do like quality have to fight that much harder for it.
Well, that's a long rant. Some parts are interesting, others less so.

> Job Openings vs. Interest Rates

Everyone already knows this

> Company Level to Compensation Scale

Everyone already knows that over the last 20 years employees at LASAGNAFAANG big tech companies in the US have made absurd amounts of money relative to how much skill is actually required. If you work in tech in San Francisco it must be easy to compare yourself to these people and be envious all the time. Outside of the US (or outside of tech) it's more normal to view these jobs as a weird aberration, not the norm. Why not compare yourself to public school teachers, lorry drivers, nurses, enlisted infantry soldiers, etc? Many of them could probably have earned absurd amounts in Silicon Valley too, had they been in exactly the right place at exactly the right time.

> Coding interviews

If you are failing leet code interviews and you're unemployed then why not just spend a week or two practicing leet code questions? There are some egregious examples of small companies using algorithms questions on graphs as a hazing exercise, but most places are just using easy or medium coding tests as a basic filter on people who are able to do arbitrary programming tasks whilst communicating their thought process. If you have US citizenship and enough experience to get an interview, you are already extremely lucky. Whining that getting a job also requires practicing a few coding questions because you see it as beneath you is silly.

> "We find the midwit problem in job interviews all the time where interviewers think they are “elite special evaluators” needing to gatekeep the unwashed hoards of desperate candidates, but interviewers often can’t reliably judge or measure people who have better answers than they expect"

Isn't that exactly what standard coding tests avoid? People who think they are elite special evaluators ask off-the-wall questions about particular technologies or processes, or abstract logic questions, thinking they are so clever they can infer the inner workings of the candidates mind. The low IQ and high IQ solution is to realise that as an interviewer you aren't very special, and that assessing candidates in the space of an hour or two can never be more than a very lossy, rough filter. Under these circumstances, generic coding tests aren't such a bad idea.

> Field Report: Job Experience Notes

My experience of work have been similar. That's just what it's like at the average mediocre tech job. Hence the The Daily WTF running since 2004

> "At some point, a switch flipped in the tech job market and “programmer jobs” just turned into zero-agency task-by-task roles working on other people’s ideas under other people’s priorities to accomplish other people’s goals"

Yup I agree it sucks, but it pays the rent.
How is it simple? It's the most obvious taste in most foods or drinks it's in, so any minor change is very obvious
> in a growing market like Linux

Isn't Linux 80% of their market? ML et al is 80% of their sales, and ~99% of that is Linux.
Is saying that you searched for non-archeological objects and just happened to find one a valid defense? Or is it illegal to find archeological objects even if you weren't explicitly searching for them?
Notion was never fast, and I've been using it on and off for the past 10 years or so.
Yes, DuckDB is OLAP, SQLite is OLTP. I should have called that out.

But if you are doing aggregate or skip-scan analysis and if they're talking about read speeds and in-memory processing, well, SQLite leaves some performance on the table by being single-threaded, as far as I can tell.
On time? Here in europe (Germany, Poland, CZ) you get ETA 7 minutes, but real time is 10-12 minutes every time. It's going down and only the cost agreement is now better than taxi. Money, as always, is the only matter working here.
THANK YOU, that was the name I was forgetting :)

here's[1] a presentation from nvidia regarding (unsure if done or not) plan for replacing Falcon with RISC-V, [2] suggests the GSP is in fact the "NV-RISC" mentioned in [1]. Some work on reversing Falcon was apparently done for Switch hacking[3]?

The tension between who is the university for (students or their potential employer) and the tension around what is the university for (knowledge acquisition or for earning an accreditation) is a problem that society has not solved very well.

I had hoped that online learning platforms such as Coursera and Edx would solve this by occupying the "for students" niche and the "for knowledge acquisition at the students preferred pace" niche. It did not quite turn out that way.

Glad you and your students had fun tinkering.

That seems to be a problem with crop surpluses and grazing land shortages. And government subsidies, can't forget those can we?

I for one was extremely surprised to learn that hay, dried plant matter, is universally expensive from California to Calcutta.
Such fond memories of IRC. When I was in college sometime in '93 I had to compile some source on a VMS system the college gave me access to and bingo, I was connected to a US server efnet. Such good times, interacting with many weird and wonderful people back then.

Oof it’s cancelled, despite the rover being built. They're gonna launch a "mass simulator" because they already paid for the launch
As a MUD enthusiast I think there's a pretty big gap between games that use an interesting story and meaningful choices vs. a game that is literally just role-playing. I think the labels "Choices matter" and "Character progression" are good for capturing the newer versions of roleplaying games while leaving the noun roleplaying for actual RP. That said RP can and is done in a variety of multiplayer engines, I've seen it in Warcraft 3, Neverwinter Nights, WoW, Minecraft and a bunch of other games - but in those cases it's essentially just folks ignoring the actual game mechanics to just use it as a roleplaying platform.
> I'd say C++ is the least suitable for "learn on the job" approach out of any language I can think of

Anecdote: I've got a couple languages and decades under my belt, and a very simple C/C++ Arduino project is making me doubt my sanity. Ex:

Serial.printf("%s", String("Hello world...")); // Emits 4 nonsense bytes... But shorter literals work fine.

________________________

EDIT: To save readers some time--I didn't intend to nerd-snipe [0] y'all, honest!--the answer has been found, and it is probably:

Serial.printf("%s", String("Hello world...").c_str() );

The shorter payloads like "Hello World" happen to give the desired results only as an accident of optimization code.
