Yeah, I just have a text file and convert it to HTML for people that want to view it on the web. Has never been a problem. I'm not a graphic designer and if that's a skill you want, you got the wrong girl.

I have done two different types of resumes; long and sort. When I was learning about resumes in high school and college, they said to just list your jobs and maybe some key skills. I have been told this is useless to recruiters. So I rewrote things to have a couple paragraphs about major projects at this jobs. I have been told this is too long and nobody has time to read it. So now I have both and you can pick the one you want.

I got laid off recently so this is fresh in my mind, but I got a job through my network instead which did not involve a resume or interviews. That's really how it should be. (I'm kind of just waiting for the founders from my last startup to start something new... they didn't survive the reorg either, which was a "sort by salary descending and only keep the last 3". The joys of having your software startup bought by an indecisive large company that doesn't do software ;)
Out of the 10 jobs I have had since 1996, 6 came from external recruiters. I met five of them in person over lunch or in their office when I was looking for local jobs in Atlanta until 2022.

The one I didn’t meet in person was a specialized recruiter for my niche.

Two came from me reaching out to them and two were from internal recruiters

My experience Reddit sentiment is inversely correlated with reality, and far too cynical.

It's pretty simple to go into threads about breaking events several years later and see them loaded with confidently incorrect statements dominating the discourse.

One of my favorite examples was the $34 IPO stock offer to moderators and redditors, which was almost universally bashed (currently trading over 170).

No. The unified memory on GB10 is much faster than regular RAM to CPU system:

https://nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/nvidia-puts-grace-blackwe...

"The GB10 Superchip enables Project DIGITS to deliver powerful performance using only a standard electrical outlet. Each Project DIGITS features 128GB of unified, coherent memory and up to 4TB of NVMe storage. With the supercomputer, developers can run up to 200-billion-parameter large language models to supercharge AI innovation."

https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/data-center/grace-cpu-superchip...

"Grace is the first data center CPU to utilize server-class high-speed LPDDR5X memory with a wide memory subsystem that delivers up to 500GB/s of bandwidth "

As far as i see it is about 4x of Zen 5.

>The other reason is that you cannot split up a large established codebase without first understanding it. I have seen large codebases successfully split up, but I have never seen that done by a team that wasn’t already fluent at shipping features inside the large codebase

I cannot resonate with this. Having worked with multiple large code bases 5M+, splitting the codebase is usually a reflection of org structure and bifurcation of domain within eng orgs. While it may seem convoluted at first, its certainly doable and gets easier as you progress along. Also, code migrations of this magnitude is usually carried out by core platform oriented teams, that rarely ship customer-facing features.
And I'd say it is probably worse for society & small shareholders than it is for workers. These board-members aren't particularly skilled and companies mostly just fall into success by accident. Having a small set of board members everywhere is basically corruption and is surely funnelling money away from businesses into the hands of a small politically connected group of people.

That being said, the best response would be to make it easier for workers to split off and spin up new businesses (ideally co-op style, we really should be experimenting with communal ownership styles now that communication tech is so much better). There isn't a mechanism to stop small politically connected groups conspiring with each other, that is just how power works. It isn't feasible to out-law the politically connected.
I just insist that style only changes go in a separate commit.
You are correct that 80 years ago New York was also the greatest city in the history of world civilization. Quite a run isn't it?
Consistency is often helpful, but you also need to be wary of cargo culting. For example, you see a server back end that uses an ORM model and you figure you'll implement your new feature using the same patterns you see there. Then a month later the author of the original code you cribbed comes by and asks you, "just out of curiosity, why did you feel the need to create five new database tables for your feature?"

I know, that's a pretty specific "hypothetical," but that experience taught me that copying for the sake of consistency only works if you actually understand what it is you're copying. And I was also lucky that the senior engineer was nice about it.

If you put it that way software as a business sounds evil on the face of it (and probably mostly is) - I guess it’s so intertwined because most software companies are just advertising companies with extra steps.

Show HN: ChatMCP – I built an MCP-powered AI chatbot Chrome extension
Since the recent release of Anthropic Model Context Protocol (MCP), I've been experimenting with adding MCP tools to a Chrome extension chatbot to aid my productivity. So far, it has helped me browse websites, send quick messages to Slack (or Slack useful information to myself directly), and do trip planning.

I'm curious to see if people would find it useful and what they would use it for. Currently, I'm soft-launching it to 100 test users to collect feedback. I only have a few MCP tools added so far, but I'm hoping to add more. Would love to know what tools you’d like to see next.

Sign up if you'd like to try it out, and I'll email you the Chrome extension link (I'll need to add you to the tester list first for you to access the Chrome extension): https://chatmcp.pro?utm_source=hackernews&utm_medium=referra...

> a recruiter has an incentive to get you hired

You have said this a couple times in the last couple days, but the key difference, again, is that recruiters are not incentivized to get you hired. They are incentivized to get someone hired. The difference between "you" and "someone" is exactly where the problems come in. Unless you are directly paying them, they really have no incentive specific to you as an individual.

So yes, you both win if you can get work done for them. But they also win if they hire anyone else at all who can get work done for them. They always win. You only sometimes do.

I think it must be using the building outline data (and metadata like the heights) that people have entered, because in my city the inner-city has very complete data but a bit further out, around where I live there aren't any building outlines on OSM and there's nothing in this 3D map apart from just the streets.

The result is very impressive given that seems to be the case!

I would actually offer they Facebook is changing because their base has grown tired of their antics. My normy friends and family have complained of censorship increasingly over the last year.

If somehow the name were to be changed I think your later point wouldn’t make much sense. It would be associated with the United States of America, not North or South America or even “America” if it referred to both continents. Nobody in Belize or Paraguay or Cuba is under the impression that renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America is for hemispheric unity…

I’m surprised he isn’t trying to name it the Gulf of Texas or the Gulf of Florida. Personally I think the Gulf of Ohio has a nice ring to it. We have already taken over Pasadena, California and the entire state of South Carolina as things currently stand.
EFF has been nowhere on these issues for the past two decades, and it is disingenuous to pretend they oppose it.

EFF have done good work vis-a-vis government surveillance, but EFF has always been a libertarian project to promote and protect tech power by weakening government oversight of the net.
Yeah - that's my thought too, the service I use them for is not something people often log into. Sometimes never.

Oracle Will Not Voluntarily Withdraw JavaScript Trademark
Just because a position is advertised does not mean the position is going to be filled - a lot of companies advertise a job that doesn't really exist. They do this for several reasons - to look like they are more successful than they are (if they are hiring they are expanding), and some just collect resumes. They might even do a few interviews, which helps their team practice doing interviews even if the company isn't going to hire. I'm sure there are other reasons.

I've been in the tech job market about 30 years, and this might be the second worst time for people in tech, the dot-com bubble of the early 2000s being the worst. My boss knows it too, he knows I can't leave and find another job that pays as well right now. A couple of years ago I was still getting about 20 recruiter contacts per week, and now I'm lucky if I get 1 per month.

If you haven't noticed how bad it is, I have to wonder why?
It is absolutely not.
This website is arguably social media. I think the lesson the last decade taught me is social media where you have a profile (attached to your real name or not) where you get to talk to the entire planet or everyone you've ever met in your life is something I have no interest in. That wouldn't be true if I had a public image to maintain, or a business to run, but if that's the case it's purely a PR play (aka brand advertising and largely insincere).

The experiment where you get to be yourself online for everyone in the world to enjoy is a failure to all except the hustlers and bullshitters looking for attention, and extremely naive.
That says more about Chrome than anything else.

I use Firefox and have an 8Gb card and only encounter problems when I have more than about 125 windows with about 10-20 tabs each.

Yes, I am a tab hoarder.

People who study statistics are pretty good at saying "look, that data set was probably gamed, I would have done it <different way>", or "that conclusion does not follow from the data presented".

It's no different to someone claiming on twitter that they are a great programmer who can fix twitter's search in a weekend who then has to tweet for suggestions on how to write a search feature in javascript. People familiar with the subject matter can see right through your bravado.

I'm so tired of people with no expertise on anything insisting that people who have clear expertise "didn't think of trivial point A that just came to mind" as if some of these fields aren't centuries old and have been around the block a few times.

It's similar to the teenager insisting "you just don't get it mom", but like, mom totally gets it, she was a teenager once too. And while there are occasions when mom might not get it, like how she didn't grow up in a world with social media so she might not be able to help you through that, but she ABSOLUTELY gets that it feels like your world is ending when your first love leaves you, and in fact it is YOU who does not "get it" that you will move on eventually.

The fiber is afaik a big factor for slowing rate and amount of sugar absorbed (amount because apparently some of it makes it far enough to feed gut bacteria in the large intestine).
Off topic but related to holding communities to account: I wish there were a way to metamoderate subs on Reddit. The Texas subreddit has been co-opted by a moderator that bans anyone who criticizes their editorial decisions or notices antagonism trolls taking over the sub.
This is known as a USB Accessory Charging Adapter of which a dock is one form but the old Battery Charging standard also anticipated it being in the form of a cabled adapter:

Battery Charging 1.2:

> An Accessory Charger Adaptor (ACA) is an adaptor which allows a single USB port to be attached to both a charger and another device at the same time.

Figure 3-1 shows the various configurations covered. The third one indicates the intent of having an adapter with data pass through to an accessory while powering from a third port fed by an external USB supply.

These exist today as USB-C splitters.

From my experience, if you are randomly applying via an ATS without a prior outreach , you’ve already lost.

Especially for remote positions, there are hundreds of people applying for every open req and it’s hard to stand out

You are assuming the people in social media are a representative cut of people in the society but what you will notice quickly is that this is not the case, just look at echo chambers.

If I am trying to debate the same fact on a far-right or far-left post, undoubtedly both will come up with the same discussion and conclusion - let's not lie to ourselves.

So for your claim to have any validity the requirement of a fair, unbiased group of people on all posts would need to be given (in the first instance, there are a lot more issues with this, just look at the loud people versus the ones not bothering anymore to comment as discussing seems impossible) and that is just de facto not the case and the reason fact-checking is indeed helpful.

Yes, I clear cookies every time I close my browser, as a layered approach to privacy on top of uBlock Origin and NoScript. There isn't a great way to exclude certain sites from this, other than setting up a dedicated web browser in a container just for Mercury.

I wasn't aware that WebAuthn didn't have this requirement.

Blaming the ATS is a popular myth.

There may be edge cases where some obscure software can't parse a weird resume format, but in general if you put anything remotely resembling a common resume format (Company name, dates worked there, optional description and/or bullet points) it will be parsed properly.

I'm in a big Slack where people ask and give career help. Several hiring managers have offered to test people's resumes on their company's ATS over the years. Nobody has ever found a combination that actually failed the ATS except when it was an obvious problem (like someone who made their resume in Illustrator) or an obvious user error (exporting a resume as an image).

This is my input based on my creative experience that might be helpful. Pay no heed if it sounds too pretentious or silly.

Any manifestation of creativity is art, from prose to code. Art is essentially purified expression, and is a catalyst for inspiration, communication and development. It is deeply personal, but it must be shaped into a shareable medium in order to be effective in its purpose. Because of this, the identity (and even a bit of ego) of the creator cannot be entirely removed.

The kind of acceptance and satisfaction being described here is easy to achieve when familiar paths are stuck to. There are algorithms for "success", as most people would describe it, everywhere. But art is different. Personal satisfaction and traditional success don't always align, but it is possible to reconcile them if you dedicate yourself to the work itself.

This is not executable advice so much as it's a perspective. Creativity that works to fuel its own vision will never be approved by everyone, but it will become successful in it's own way, and many will adore it. Anything created specifically for approval, or a piece that molds itself around quick success, will inevitably fall flat.

Dedicate to the vision and you'll come out on top. Don't fight the ego, harness it. Make it work for you. When you do this, you'll have fun, despite the challenges, and the rest will follow.

Finally, if the creative process is grueling in any way, try to figure out why. Challenging is one thing, but if it feels like you're constantly on fire, it's the process that needs to change, not the creator.

The greatest proof of intellect that any creator can give is a finished work that believes in itself. It doesn't have to be perfect, it just needs to possess a purity that isn't tainted by second guessing and hyper criticism, self induced or otherwise. Don't shoot the result before it ever has a chance to be born.
