Its not the deception that's the problem, its the false advertising and fraud.

In the last two years (shortly after GPT) I've got a list of about 400 of these outfits. Indeed and LinkedIn don't remove them when reported. Many are the same entity with similar naming conventions.

Hint: Run your own web server with resources tied to a uniquely keyed access token per job application, have analytics on the site with various portfolio and other useful information.

You'll see the same companies, and IP blocks (even if they advertised under a false name) show up regularly.

If you can't detect them on the front-end because of bad actors, fingerprint them on the backend when they access the provided resource. (P.S. Ensure you are in a locality where its legal to do so, I am not a lawyer).

I was in a similar situation like you. Nothing seemed to fit and I wrote one myself without a login.

Then I noticed, that it would be nice if my wife had access, too, but that required at least multiple lists.

Then I noticed, that it would be better, if there were lists for her, lists for me and also shared ones (like grocery), but that required some kind of authentication.

I chose QR-Codes / login tokens to solve this and it works pretty good. Seems like it has no login (due to locally stored tokens), but it can at least identify a user.

So, I still think my list[1] is better than others for MY personal purpose, but it is still very incomplete. Maybe it fulfils your needs...?!

Isn't your manager supposed to be a buffer between you and the director? Stay with your manager and if you feel the director is trying to make life harder for either of you then leave the company.

(What you described actually happened to me once. It took me a year to realise that the new director doesn't like me and is sabotaging my work. I left immediately once I saw that)
I like the idea that solving technical issues with language models and solving society’s problems writ large is somehow the purview of the same group of people, and also this group, of software engineers, is somehow better suited to writing laws than their current jobs. It is a perfect thought because it makes no sense whatsoever, like suggesting the Hat Man that people see on mega doses of Benadryl should be the president.
Round about the seventh language, he stops using exclamation marks. The list goes from "Mind blown: Programming my own games!" to "Mind blown: Some support for writing my own gradual type system."
Rubbing the opening side of the bag between your palms generates static and opens it too. Learned that from a meat department employee who saw me struggling one day.

Great description of the problems of C++/Rust - that puzzle like property attracts a lot of younger engineers and creates a lot of conference talks that hyper focus on the language instead of how it can solve real problems. Scala suffers the same thing in my experience.

Show HN: Production-grade Turborepo template for Next.js apps
Hey folks, I'm building a free and open-source monorepo template for "production-grade Next.js apps". Basically everything you need to go from "new idea" to "Series A level product" very quickly.

It's almost at 500 stars on GitHub so I thought I might share it here.

It comes pre-configured with analytics, auth, a blog, dark mode, transactional email, feature flags, monitoring, ORM + database, payments and heaps more.

It's quite opinionated but very fast and very neat. I hope it helps you make something awesome.
Olives are a pretty weird example of something that "wants" to be eaten by us, given the insane amount of processing it takes to make anything remotely palatable from them.

Contrast with, say, sesame or sunflower seeds which can be eaten straight from the plant raw, or pumpkin seeds which just need a simple roast and peel, I'm not sure that your categorical assertion really holds up, as intuitive as it may seem.
First thing that comes to mind is the entirety of 3blue1brown, it's brilliant.

I also like the opposite thought experiment, turns out I have so much of the Internet that I'd love to never come back online. The whole shitcoin scene, poof, gone.
Use case is - you have car thing that spotify bricked by not supporting it, and now it's doing something useful.
Sorry, but I laughed at your comment. Didn’t mean to be disrespectful, but it is laughable.

Banks and other financial institutions have a duty to prevent fraud and their malicious actors. Could they do better, yes. They still have a duty nonetheless.

Adblockers do more than just domain blocking, such as anti-fingerprinting, bot detection—which includes a lot of, sadly, invasive checks against the browser.

UBlock has annoyance lists, tracking lists, and others and others…

From what you’re telling me, you’re wanting a bank that’s protecting their clients or at least attempting to. Ooookay
Now you made me want to write a PWA for a chess clock... This is not really nice of you, I already have a pile of things I plan to do and my wife is looking weird at me because I am typing at the computer instead of fixing the dinner as I said I would do :)
It struck me the same, many seem like aliases such as `gc!` from oh-my-zsh.
Obligatory mention of https://github.com/tj/git-extras/blob/main/Commands.md for more/similar commands.

Especially useful to me is `git bulk` to apply a command to all the git repos under the directory, and `git ignore "bin/"` to quickly add something to the `.gitignore` file.
If it dies, hundreds of companies will rise from it's ashes.
One of the big problems America has is the tech giants hoovering up all competition. The 70s,80s and 90s weren't boom times because of the fact these tech giants got their break at that time. It's because the market still had 5-7 major semiconductor companies. Fairchild, Motorola, TI, Intel, Zilog, and that's without really thinking about it.
Easier to clean - no nooks or crannies.
Hi everyone, I'm Josh and I made a chrome extension. Its completely free to use and am hoping to get some reviews and feedback. It ads an ai chat on every youtube video but i find it useful for searching especially through long videos as it provides clickable timestamps with its responses. Check it out!
A small piece of advice. Review your changes using a nice GUI diff tool immediately before committing anything to your repo. Lately I use Github for Windows for the tool, but that’s unimportant as long as the tool clearly shows all changes to all source files which will be committed.

It’s an easy thing to do, but IMO helps software quality tremendously. 60% of times I just read my changes and commit them as they are. In 25% of commits I spot something minor like typos in comments, and fix. Most importantly, for the remaining 15% of them I notice some important issues which need to be fixed.

Reading git log later, or delegating to other people, doesn’t work because timing. I commit my changes immediately after making these changes. This means I still remember what the code in question does, and why I changed what I did.
RCV could open the door to proportional representation too
Jetbrains is best for Java. For JavaScript it is literally broken for years.

> Intel switching to TSMC probably would have sidestepped their 10nm fab failures

It would, but it would also drain a lot of investor confidence. Intel pulling the TSMC card in 2024 is acceptable, or even desirable, from a shareholder perspective. Doing it in 2017 would have been jaw-dropping, even if it came with the advantages of TSMC 7nm that AMD's mobile chipsets boasted. It might have been the right call, but it would be a kick in the pants to their fab business and a terrible omen of things to come.

> But, even if Intel was still doing its thing right, Apple prefers to vertically integrate

100% agree, and I feel like it's more to my point. Intel was a holdover from an era where Apple had to ditch their reliance on PowerPC. Buying pre-designed chips was an opportunistic success story on a high-margin product like the Mac, and it worked both ways until Apple started designing their own cores. Once Apple could ship an SOC that outperformed Intel, it didn't matter how much it cost to make because there was no middleman to pay. By any means necessary, undercutting Intel was a business imperative for Apple.

I guess the ultimate irony of this is how I hear people begging OEMs to license ARM tech for PCs now. Intel failed as a rent-seeking middleman for high-performance core designs, so now they will be supplanted by Arm, a rent-seeking middleman for low-performance core designs. All Arm Holdings has to do now is buy a fab and they'll be a dead ringer.
C-a, C-e, and some other Emacs basics shared by readline are universal defaults on, for instance, macOS. They don't get in anyone's way there.

I'm a software engineer with over 15 years of experience. I've been working remotely for the past 10 years, most recently for a YC biotech startup for 5 years (found through HN!) as well as dabbling with AI for a failed startup and some contract work. I've worked across the stack, from purely frontend work to processing jobs in Rust and everything in between. I do quite a bit of open-source projects in Rust: https://github.com/Keats/

Customer Support Calls Analyzer
Hello!
I've been developing an desktop app called zebel for companies that have thousands of customer calls per day so they can analyze what their are having problems with and what is the opinion about the product itself.

it has all sorts of functionalities including :
1) summarize calls
2) keywords of the call
3) rate agent's response to the customer
4) suggests how the response would've been better and more polite
5) sentiment analysis
6) classifies the issue to different departments

please check it out by visiting :

and let me know if there is any problem you have with it by zebel@zebelai.com.
Are you aware of any framework or could use for such tasks (ML and alike)?
As someone who works mainly with Angular but dipped toes professionally in both React and Vue what bothered me the most in the former was the fact that no two React projects are the same, as you're expected to have a collection of libraries for all the things React doesn't provide out of the box.

Angular is terrible in more ways than one, but I've never had to think or worse - argue with anyone what routing/form validation/http request/unit testing library to use or what selection of those is used in a project I'm about to join.

It would be fantastic to add two simple features: 1) task groups (for example, a project) and 2) drag-and-drop reordering of tasks. Then it would be the only task manager one would need.
I think that are a couple of programming langs out there that everyone needs to be in contact with at least one time. I will mention the three ones that actually changed my mind (I have taken these in a semester at uni): Haskell, Prolog and Smalltalk (even if you do not like nor use them, they will force you to think radically different). Then you should add a structured language (C or Pascal will suffice). If you like metal, try assembly. Yes there are others like APL and Forth but I can't say anything about those as I haven't tried them. Lastly a LISP or scheme flavour won't be bad to experience as well.
"Suffice it to say that while people are sincerely trying their best, our leaders are not even remotely equipped to handle the volume of people just outright lying to them about IT."

I've tried to come up with some heuristic to determine whether or not a team is competent, good, or doomed. I've been exposed to all over the last... 8-10 years, and one of the key things I've noticed is the ratio of competent/skilled developers to the unskilled ones is a big ... indicator(?). Predictor?

Colleague of mine has been working with a team - dev team has ranged from 5-8 people over the last few years. Few people seem to have any grasp of programming at all. Only two people - my colleague and one other - have ever taken projects from ideas to delivery, or even taken features from requests to successful rollout of already functioning software.

The arguments that people get in to there - days or weeks of people 'researching' whether or not OAUTH 'really' requires 'refresh tokens' or whether it's really supposed to be a JWT. Management has some notion of 'every voice is legitimate and should be heard - we don't support bullying' and so on.

If you have a team of 10, and 1 or 2 people are simply bad at having the ability to think somewhat abstractly, you can survive.

If that number hits, say, 4-5... the team will struggle. A lot. You can keep things going, but it will be slow. And everything becomes a battle.

If that number becomes 7 or 8, and you only really have 1-2 developers who are actually competent developers... things will continue to spiral downward.

On the other side - I worked with a team of about 8-10 people on a 6 month contract. The larger org had another 40 or so folks, handling other projects, and support. Onboarding was great - I pushed production code in the first week. Everyone on the team was competent, including the juniors. I had more development experience, but they had more company experience, and it was really a relatively enjoyable engagement overall.

It was refreshing to be able to ask anyone on the team questions, and either get a workable answer, or an "I'm not sure, let's check with XYZ" to get working answers. The "oh, yeah, it's ABC" when ABC is clearly not the answer stuff never happened. People committing code and pushing to production without ever having run the code at all - I've experienced that - didn't happen - that's happening to my colleague.

The problem with a plurality of tech-incompetent folks in a tech group is that they honestly can not determine that they aren't competent. The only examples of competence are in the minority, and tend to not be trusted (even though that minority is the only portion that turns out working/functional code).

Leaving ends up being the only option in those cases. My colleague is only at his place part time, and has hung around because they've gone through some restructuring where new folks were brought in, and... you hope that things might get better in a few months, then realize they don't.
The touchscreen in Tesla cars is amazing. And there are a few tactile controls on the steering wheel.
It's basic logic why why watches and earbuds generaly don't charge while in use. So bad example there.

If my Logitech G502 Lightspeed mouse couldn't charge while in use, I wouldn't even consider buying it.

Because when I pay for premium service, I expect premium delivery.

Anything else is fanboyism, handwaving and/or stockholm syndrome.

Specially because previous generation of apple's mice could be charged while in use.

I don't know why you're so upset on defending a downgrade with zero tradeoffs, only to end up with an inferior product.
Right - Bush "pressed for" Ukraine's membership, but he wasn't successful. And in fact Putin had executed (what he should have seen as) a successful containment strategy by that date, via purely diplomatic means. Sanity prevailed, reason prevailed -- but Putin invaded anyway. That's the key takeaway here.

As to the other tangents, briefly:

(1) No, the Georgia conflict was not "the same exact war". It bears a certain surface similarity, but for what should be obvious reasons, the analogy stops there. In particular Putin's attitude toward (and obsession with) Ukraine is in an entirely different universe from his attitude toward Georgia (the former he sees as basically a part of Russia; the latter merely as a buffer territory).

The situation in Georgia's breakaway regions is also entirely different; the violent aspects of these conflicts there go pretty far back (to the early 20th century, with major flare-ups beginning immediately after the dissolution of the USSR, and major atrocities inflicted by both sides).

There is, simply put, no analogy to be made with the situation with the regions of Ukraine that Putin is attempting to annex - which never saw any violent separatist conflict prior to Putin's invasion via proxy forces in 2014.

In short, there are huge, categorical distinctions between the two conflicts -- describing them as "the same exact war" is really quite silly.

(2) Re: Arakhmiya - your spin here is that the Ukrainians could have just walked away by making basically symbolic concessions (like agreeing not to join NATO), and all would have been well; and that we just don't really know happened because it was all behind closed doors.

This is a false characterization. By now we do have a pretty good idea of what happened, because the proceedings were quite famous and have been thoroughly investigated (for example in the Foreign Affairs article linked to in the thread below). In a nutshell, the concessions the Russians were demanding were not purely symbolic; rather they were demanding not only those, but drastic reductions in force that would have effectively left Ukraine without viable security guarantees of any kind. Against this backdrop there were also the atrocities happening on the ground in Bucha, Irpin and Mariupol, which in addition to providing a certain chilling effect, persuaded the Ukrainians that relying on Russia's good word for their security would not be in their best interest.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41812302

(3) There's no analogy between the Ukraine's paramilitaries and jihadists of any kind; that's just scare rhetoric. Once Russia invaded in March 2014, all bets were off -- and any help provided to Ukraine after that date was purely defensive, by definition, end of story.

To get this thread back on topic:

The article has this as part of their reasoning:

> That’s because the method a voter chooses often speaks to whom they voted for. Since the issue of voting by mail became highly politicized in the 2020 election, most mail votes nationally have been cast by Democratic voters, while most in-person Election Day votes have been cast by Republicans.

But this year R have focused on both early and mail-in ballots in a reversal of their traditional approach of eschewing or even attacking these voting options and it seems the general consensus is that for the 2024 elections as of last week, more Rs than Ds had actually opted for early and mail-in voting:

* https://www.newsnationnow.com/politics/2024-election/early-m...

* https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/22/us/politics/trump-republi...

It seems a curious thing for AP (which has published pieces on this new trend) not to at least mention a disclaimer at this point? It seems like an obvious “what would people attack us for?” answer.

Disclosure: not an R or a D myself.
Nah, let the market decide

Less optimization results in more accidents, injuries, and deaths.
