It's pretty common to have penalties if you quit without notice.
It's also a breach of contract. Employers probably won't go after you in court though, unless your immediate departure cause them some damage larger than the lawyer's bill.

One month is common for juniors or contractors. I've never seen a contract with less than 1 month notice in tech.
Three months is common for senior or management positions.
I can imagine that if we ever reach a point where the interviewers are prepped with the useless corporate answers to these reversed interview questions, it means we’ve done a great job in pushing to get the right information and gets right to the crux of their issues and possible red flags, one of which might even be a “corporate culture cover up stock answer”. Then surely just a follow up question asking “is that also you personal experience here?” And if you still get a corporate answer then you know for certain it is a red flag. Ultimately it sounds like these sort of questions could work well.

Why, that sounds positively... Agile. In the genuine original sense.
It's OK to use anything in personal or throw-away projects.

"almost all" probably counts a lot of phones, tablets, and "devices" with minuscule, minimalist speakers that cannot produce non-distorted sound at any loudness no matter what the volume setting is.

most people don't care. they may or may not be able to perceive a difference. they want a "hear better" knob and this is what they have so they assume that's what it is.
Last I checked, all app store regional limitations etc were tied to your billing address. Similarly, you only see apps that are only available in your region based on your billing address.

Yeah but I don’t think that it is so simple. I would think nations are sufficiently deterred from establishing precedents which can later be used on them. Does Russia want to legitimize a recipe that could be used by Japan to snatch Russian territory? I don’t see them waving the Nuke card at all.

Look: the Russian invasion sucks for everybody involved and in particular the Russian and Ukrainian civilians. War might be good for many things but at the very least it is not obviously good for politics. I think it’s not controversial to expect that Russian leadership would have much preferred to develop influence through significant mutually beneficial relations with its neighbors.

What is to be done however if at some point a third party with infinite resources is those neighbors to an impasse on topics of national security to Russia? And after this those third parties start arming those neighbors with advanced weapon systems? Exactly what do you expect the US would do in a similar situation?

People wishing that the war would stop are not simply siding with an invader or a bully. They are being practical and recognizing a legitimate grievance of the Russians. Unless your position is that we live in a world where nations are unequal wrt security expectations you have to acknowledge the reality that the Russians have a legitimate claim to be upset about.
You don't need to maintain, secure and tweak postgres any more than you would with SQLite. Just install it and it'll work. Postgres backup is a single command. And actually you're supposed to create sqlite backups with special command as well, if you're copying a file, you're doing it wrong.

I really don't see any cons with Postgres over SQLite for server applications.

Cap: An allocator that can track and limit memory usage in Rust
Try buying property for the first time. After having successfully wire transferred the 3% deposit to the escrow company, we tried to transfer the remaining amount of the down payment, and the bank just refused. They wouldn’t tell us in detail why but it seemed that a third party analysis service had flagged it as risky. We had to first wire transfer to another bank account with our lender (a different bank from where we had our cash to close), and that bank finally allowed the transfer to the escrow company.

It felt really scary when we first were denied the ability to transfer our own money. Each wire transfer takes days, not minutes, and there were moments where it seemed like the money didn’t exist at the sending or receiving bank, so it made closing in 21 days a lot harder and more stressful than we expected.
Good luck getting a regular consumer to agree to all the scary warnings presented when you do that.

So complicated.

his company has been writing leaky software on purpose for decades ... how is that even a question? he and many of the rich tech peeps of his generation are the uberscaled equivalent of people who adopt children so they get to abuse them without the children making a fuzz because they get something in return.

all people who write leaky software are comparable. and their lawyers and so on as well. fuck this shit. these discussions are getting annoying. there is too much proof and hard evidence pointing towards even worse.

but people are technical and they like what they do.
You literally made up a quote that I did not say to create a nonsensical argument. Taking taxpayer money and spending it on something that doesn’t benefit taxpayers, but does benefit people with equity in Spacex, is wealth redistribution. All fiscal policy is wealth redistribution when it comes down to it.
Reminds me of getting someone's phone bills in my email (say it's foobar@gmail.com) because they thought their e-mail is foo.bar@gmail.com (GMail ignores dots in email addresss). I emailed the phone company telling them I'm not that guy, and they replied saying "Well as you can see we sent the mail to foo.bar@gmail.com, and that's not you".. OK genius, how did it arrive in my inbox, then?

After 3 more of these I just set up a rule to immediately trash emails from them.

TFA is also implying that it's either Datomic or Postgres but you can use Datomic on top of Postgres.

Enabling "automatically use reader mode on all websites" has cut down on the amount of noise I see on many websites. It's made a few sites usable on mobile again for me. I don't have hard data but I assume the amount of downloading is reduced as well since the page rarely renders an ad but usually keeps the actual pictures you want to see.
Personally, most of the projects i do are in self-hosted servers. The traffic isnt big. In such cases sqlite has been way better than postgres. Many times i see postgres not well used. Its meant for big project, not small ones.

> how do you suddenly get a "tax bill" from the Austrian government for 15k Euro?

You may be mixing unrelated facts. The academic was trying to help his friend "cover a cashflow problem", no more specifics. The bank asked to see the friend's tax bill, but also correspondance with their accountant. The article does not say why the bank asked for these. They could be asking purely to confirm the friend's identity.

Nonetheless, you could get an out-of-nowhere €15k tax bill from Austria, if a family member died and bequeathed you a house worth €700k, as the Grunderwerbsteuergesetz will make you immediately liable for €15,000 (first €250,000 @ 0.5% = €1,250, next €150,000 @ 2% = €3,000, final €307,143 @ 3.5% = €10,750). You'd probably want to keep such a house rather than sell it immediately to meet the comparatively small tax demand, so if a friend can solve your cashflow problem, it's much better all round. https://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=6edcfe00-26cb...

Personally, if my friend was having a hard time and I were to gift them money, and the bank demanded proof of my friend's hardship, not just remind me to double-check I'm not being scammed, and validate that I had the correct destination bank account... I'd also tell them to fuck off and then change banks. They do have to report high value transfers to the government, but that's then for the taxman or police to ask me directly why I moved the money; not the bank, and not for determining if I'm being scammed or not.

I only realized after leaving the US how insanely slow transfers are there. In Hong Kong, transfers are basically instant. In Japan they often finish within 10 minutes. HSBC HK's daily transfer limit (not FPS) for me is about 3m HKD ~ 385k USD.

I've transferred 30k within seconds to IBKR before.

interesting to read the reactions here regarding wfh even though it was less than a minute of the whole conversation. all i would say about that is this: it appears that we haven't found a way that has made "better" working conditions (and remote work) bring out the best results at a macro scale. there is an element of truth to what he said and as companies grow very big, they will always face stuff like this. in tech, anyways, we want to have the cake and eat it too.

now that i have lost 95% of the ones who bothered reading this, i would take bigger offense to his perspective on the ai space. he appears to have drunk the koolaid as well and it is very interesting to see that a lot of future use cases are still around llm and not other equally-impactful works. especially when he mentioned using AI in defense applications.

having a good offensive system as a way to defend oneself seems like the same dangerous slippery slope that brought the atomic bomb. while not giving specific examples, he used the tech used in current war in east europe as a point to support this. an actual example used there are drones that self-identify and explode targets from the defender's side (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36875446). no matter what you feel about either parties, this is just a few steps away from a black mirror episode. plus the major military powers want to advance on this before the others and this arms race is what worries me more than "muh productivity". the fact that most of the discourse, whether in the lecture hall or in the comments here, seems to not bat an eye around this subject makes me anxious about the public attitude towards this.
Do these "uncover employer's culture" articles have any relevance in today's job market, where qualified candidates send 100s of CVs and don't even get an interview? Then if they somehow get that interview, it lasts 10+ rounds? After being jobless for months and basically going through a full blown proctology exam without lube to get hired, who's finicky to turn that offer down "nah, I don't think we are culturally compatible"?
Great list of Postgres features called out that highlight the extensive feature set.

Most of these are covered in my book, for anyone that’s interested in learning them. The book uses a Ruby on Rails app with Postgres instances for examples and exercises. Hope the plug is ok here as some folks may be looking for learning resources for Postgres.

Right. Because we don’t have Snowden on the run. Because we don’t have a media empire that is suppressing every single Israeli war crime. Because we don’t have international bodies like the ICC being used against our enemies (eg Serbs) and being suppressed against our friends (eg Israelis).

Russia has its interests. It puts them above human rights. We have our interests and guess what we do the same.

Need I remind you that we fabricated reasons to invade Vietnam and Iraq and in the process we killed millions of civilians? Or do you need a list of all the governments we admit to have toppled over the years?

Our misguided belief that we occupy some moral high ground is objectively making the world a worse place. By our hands and by the fact that we are enabling other countries to act the same (eg Iran and Russia). How about instead we concretely define principles and standards that we apply uniformly? Why do we have to pretend like we are uniquely act with impunity on the global stage?
great point. I think the AI scientist is already a winner.
If the likelihood of false outcome is FNR+FPR, then machine would fail 0.7 and humans 0.69 times. Humans do win nominally.
In terms of costs humans loose. For every FPR 0.31-0.17 = 0.14 you spend additionally, you'd gain FNR 0.52-0.39 = 0.13. The paper production costs discrepancy is at least factor 100. The value of the least useful research typically drives factor two or more benefit in comparison to production and validation costs. So the final balance is 0.014 to 0.36 -> x25 gain in favor of AI.
SQLite is a library, the process still exists, it's just that it's part of your app now.
On Android, there isn't really a scary warning. You have to allow whatever app you're installing the apk from to install apps form "unknown sources". That's it. You only have to do it once per source.

On iOS, I'm sure the EU regulators will demand that Apple at least tone down their warnings.
Did the bank know that?
I think the Flywheel analogy is great. One of the big differences between working a regular job and running your own product/content business is that it's a flywheel - it works even you don't. Your creative/productive output might be very sporadic and jerky, but the output tends to be smooth and compounded over years.

One of my "revelations" when I founded my own SaaS project a while ago is when I realized there are a bunch of abandoned, yes, completely abandoned, apps on various App Stores and marketplaces that still make a few thousand $ per month, years later, even though they don't even even work. The founder clearly put in a bunch of effort to build it initially, and then didn't carry on for whatever reason, yet it still gets a steady trickling stream of actual customers paying real money.

It's also one of the reasons it is counterproductive to burn out or over-hire or over-raise when building a bootstrapped SaaS. Just don't die, keep pushing the flywheel occasionally when you have some creative inspiration, and eventually you may build something truly great. Or maybe you won't, but at least it will keep you going. But have a flywheel, something that stores your energy and continues output, don't just waste energy trying a bunch of different unreleased projects.
The killer feature of Organic Maps is that you can download the maps for the entire world (yay OSM!) and not have to depend on signal or having a data plan.

Super important for intentional travel or nature (National parks often have no signal).

It's blazing fast — far snappier than other map apps I've used. And OSM data is better than Google's for hiking and biking.

The POI database isn't as detailed, and you wouldn't use it to find an espresso shop near you (...yet). But it's much better as a map app.

Thank you very much for pointing this out, if a play button can be a fallback for those users only I'll put it in there.

I'm a bit weirded out by this being the default even for muted videos. Does that somehow save bandwith because you only get sent one frame of the video? Because otherwise a muted video is just a series of images, and they dont block images by default, right?

> if you use an ORM that supports both SQLite and Postgres you'll have the option to upgrade if your site brings in enough traffic

I'll never understand this idea that Postgres and SQLite are somehow interchangeable when the time is right.

My database and Postgres are _literally_ the core definition of everything that my application does. My app is written in Rust, but that doesn't matter because it's a _Postgres_ application. I use Postgres-specific features extensively. Converting the application to SQLite would be essentially a re-write, and it would be worse in every way.

Also, I generally just don't understand this fad of running production backends on SQLite. SQLite is great for what it is, a tiny little embeddable client-side database. But it is a _terrible_ database for non trivial business applications where ref integrity, real types instead of "everything is a string", and battle-tested scaling is essential.
This format is awesome and helps eliminate the fear of starting by making learning shortcuts easy and interesting.

> There are not two companies, the recruiting-company and the working-company.

Oftentimes there are two departments sufficiently distant from each other that there are effectively two companies. The HR portion is distant from actual employees and cares very little for culture.
One question candidates like to ask me: "What's your biggest challenge over the next year? Next 5 years?"

and then.. "How is this role contributing toward solving that challenge?" (Sometimes people replace "challenges" with "vision" or "goal")

These question catches me off guard sometimes. But if I were the candidate, they are great questions to expose whether a company is hiring this role to fix a problem (if so there are probably very specific expectations) or are they hiring the role to make a good thing better.

Dirty secret about interviews: there are very few questions a candidate can ask that would leave a negative impression. You can literally ask "Are you profitable?" or "What is the turnover rate of your team?" or "If you had to improve our team culture, what's one thing you would change?" or even "I've worked at a lot of companies that don't know what they're doing. What's your plan?"

On the interviewer side, there's also very few questions candidates won't answer. I always ask what their salary expectations are, where they are in the process with other companies, how they like to be managed, etc --- occasionally there's someone who's dodgy with these questions, but 95% of candidates are extremely transparent. I return the favor by happily answering any questions a candidate asks. It's a big decision on both sides to hire someone or accept an offer, so no point in putting on a facade.
You are literally aware of a single German company and because of this you assume what is true for them is true for all German companies, nay, all of Europe?

This is a great reason to not put all of your financial eggs in one basket. You hear stories around here all of the time about people's businesses being ruined by Google's automated abuse systems and lack of customer support. There might only be one Google, but there are a lot of banks. They might all have similar policies, but at least it is less likely they will all try to screw you over at the same time.

If you have rainy-day savings for at least six months of expenses (as everyone is advised to do), there is no reason you cannot split those up.
OrganicMaps lets you also add points and attributes to OSM.
