This is exactly right. I like latex not because it's super ergonomic, but if I use a template I don't have to think about any formatting.
I had no idea
I don't want to share it because it may connect this profile with it. I just wanna say - there was an active core in this rival sub that was googling people, searching for their real identities on any social network. A guy in our community (non-mod) had somebody call at their workplace and talk to their HR with the intent of getting them fired.

Some people can be sick in their mind.
Allowing people to draw a line in the sand for an acceptable level of deviation from the normal leaves you open to them nudging that line just a bit further to ostracize more and more of the vulnerable. I've never been the biggest fan of the progress flag, but because I think the basic rainbow already includes all of those groups. I've never loved it more than I do now that I've heard the idea that people prefer the rainbow flag because it actively excludes the people the progress flag was created to actively highlight.
I was asking about any law that made gender expression illegal. Using any kind of terminology.
That would be a reasonable I objection if it looked as if there was a risk of that. Everything I've heard from Zelynski so far tells me that Ukraine will be involved and they will have the final say
Death camps are an obvious progression of prison slave labor.

Then again, its my understanding that Alabama is already “renting” out convicts for labor.

May I ask about the feedback you provided and they didn't include?
I'm not sure if you have any interest in porting this to Mac, but in case you do, here's some native Swift code that might help. It was built by me and a friend originally for Electron, but the repo should act as a general template. It's completely open source, and if you (or anyone) need any license modifications for any reason, just reach out: https://github.com/O4FDev/electron-system-audio-recorder/blo...
Well, except for everyone on USAID food, NIH funded trials, god I can go on. Just because you don't know precisely what you're cutting doesn't mean it's not important.
Taxes are the only reason, this allows energy companies with investors who are also instate, to get the best price for execution.
Love that fact check. People should really take whatever Trump, Musk or the right in general say with huge grains of salt. That Gaza condom thing being a great example.
You're wasting your time if you are trying to find any consistent logic to their stated positions other than "we will say and do whatever we want to reduce taxes on he rich".

New updates and features to SWELL, an API testing platform
In today’s fast-paced development landscape, robust API testing is crucial. Engineers rely on these tools to validate functionality early in the development cycle, independent of a fully realized frontend. Swell is a cutting-edge API testing and development platform designed to meet these modern needs.

WebRTC has long been a promising technology, but its implementation in our app was previously limited, stuck in an experimental state due to incomplete functionality. We’re thrilled to announce that WebRTC is now fully functional and ready for production use.

Hey, I agree that tweaking these probably wouldn't have made much difference, but tuning/reducing the dirty_bytes could calm the writeback stampede and smooth that bump, potentially getting rid of whatever race might have been happening. Regardless, disabling the cgroup accounting there is the right thing to do, especially as you don't need it. Tbh, the main reason I wrote most of that was as background to explain the cgv1 vs v2 differences and why they're there (and because I was stuck in traffic for like 45 mins :/)

If you're ever in the mood to revisit that problem you should try disabling that discard flag and see if it makes a difference. Also, if it was me, I'd have tried setting LimitNOFILE to whatever it is in my shell and seeing if the rsync still behaved differently.

Anyway - thoroughly enjoyed your article. You should write more :)
It's useless as a social media or to interact with but excellent when you're looking to reach out to John at Corpo Corp who you met somewhere.

It’s quite hilarious. I clicked on a linkedin link in one of the comments and it opened the app (which I haven’t opened for a while)

The app then proceeded to show me a cookie banner.

The ‘refuse’ button in the cookie banner responds to my click (it changes color while pressed) but does not remove the banner.

I guess I can only remove the banner by clicking “accept”?

Most social media doesn’t tie directly to your work and profession. They all suck, but LinkedIn has a way uniquely painful way of hurting people.

Though there seems to be a steady stream of people who have a sick day then post photos on IG of what they were actually doing.
"My success rate from me reaching out to an actual offer was about 3 %"

Back in the olden days that hit rate would have seemed quite normal. I can remember mailing (mail not email) 20-100 letters with CVs for job applications. Each covering letter was hand signed and some were personalised for the target. Each envelope would have had something like a 30p stamp on it and running my printer was rather more expensive and slower than now.

That was the early 1990s in the UK.

The actual jobs and networking aspect is fine imo, but I loathe the feed/content, even the SWE-related stuff is a lot of times bad or clickbaity.

I hide the feed + sidebar with a uBlock Origin filter and it's a much nicer experience:

The trouble with that argument is if you consistently take the most radical position on every issue, people will leave. Either they leave outright or they just check out emotionally. That's not the same as excluding trans people. [1]

Myself I have gone out in drag in the past and seen for myself from people's microexpressions that it is not entirely safe. I think people should be safe to express whatever gender characteristics they wish whenever they want to express them. In the past 15 years the T community went through a sharp ideological bend that is reducitivist and deliberately polarizating that is making it less safe to be different from other people, not more safe. Just because I practice Foxwork and channel an entity which might be a different gender than myself means I need to endorse the self-described 'egg-hatcher' who persuaded a neurodivergent friend of my son to go down a path that hasn't solved his [2] real problems but has added more problems.

[1] speech is free, listening is priceless; want to be part of a movement, understand that movement in all its diversity, don't make a black-and-white there-is-no-alternative declaration that other people have no choice in the matter

Same here. LinkedIn is the labor market masquerading as social media. It isn't really "social" in any meaningful sense of that word.
> Personally I think foundation models are for the birds,

I might not quite that far, but I have publicly said (and will stand by the statement) that I think that training progressively larger and more complex foundation models is a waste of resources. But my view of AI is rooted in a neuro-symbolic approach, with emphasis on the "symbolic". I envision neural networks not as the core essence of an AI, but mainly as just adapters between different representations that are used by different sub-systems. And possibly as "scaffolding" where one can use the "intelligence" baked into an LLM as a bridge to get the overall system to where it can learn, and then eventually kick the scaffold down once it isn't needed anymore.
Anything MSFT touches goes to shit, and LI is no exception.

One day I randomly checked my credit card and found that LI had charged me $60 for having a PREMIUM BUSINESS plan! I'm not a business owner, and last time I had any subscription was one month in 2024. Their system is totally unreliable.

And anytime a website blocks basic functionalities (e.g., who viewed my profile) for non-paying users, I know enshitification has already taken place.
Such a functionality would be useful for developing some scripts and then converting to a Quarto document [1].

It’s weird the way that people decide something is “political” and then swear black is white to support that political belief.
Trolls don't get a pass. But neither do their critics.

You want to criticize a troll? Be my guest. Criticize away. (Or just downvote and flag.) But if you criticize, do better than false accusation. (There's a fine real accusation to make, namely "you're being a troll"; you don't have to make false accusations.)

Be better than the trolls. Don't stoop to their level.
Good Tech Blog

Since they added a "videos for you" section they completely acknowledged they've given up on trying to be the professional site they once were. I can't even open this at work because as soon you scroll it auto plays a video with titles likes "following elon musks lead to become an alpha male and slay it in the bedroom".
I got banned from Reddit for calling my dog a mini Australian Shepherd in the subreddit /r/dogs which is the informal name for these dogs.

they banned me because they said by calling it that instead of it's proper name American Shepherd, I supported backyard breeders.

I couldn't believe it.

I've been going there since it started in the 2000s?

I basically only go to X/twitter now because Facebook and Instagram and tiktok are just pure slop.
There may be a middle ground where, with some effort effort, a watered down summary of the redacted information could be given (e.g. if a name of a person is redacted, replace it with some sort of unique handle). As long as this is done as an annotations for the visibly marked redaction, I see no problem. The reader may choose to trust those annotations or not.
> Besides being full of AI-generated, useless content

I've found some pretty decent content if you're able to tune the recommender algo - the content reaches mid-2010s HN's noise-to-signal ratio if done right.

After Twitter/X degraded, a lot of Policy, VC, IB, PE, and DevTools+Cybersecurity shifted to used LinkedIn for posts, and a lot of unfiltered criticism does arise.

It does require an extreme commitment to tuning the algo (proactively removing content from your feed AND upvoting content you like).

That said, I don't think you'll find much purely technical content, but even HN sucks for that now. I'd use Lobste.rs for that (which reminds me of pre-COVID HN).

> the platform is also riddled with dark patterns

Yep, but that's expected for most platforms who's success metrics are judged based on usage.
I personally had a decent presence some years ago ( upwards of 10k followers ), but I dropped it, when it became clear that noise far outweighed the signal. I will admit that I am in a weird spot now, because soon I will be coaching kids to real job interviews ( and they are normally instructed to use LinkedIn to connect with their coaches ).. and I will feel obligated to point out that they may want to benefit from a different type of exposure ( github, portfolio page, email ).

TLDR: I dislike LinkedIn and what it has become ( because it did bring me some value before.. and I fear that is coming for github too ), but I struggle to offer a good alternative to people that are just starting since HR depts effectively EXPECT you to have one.
Although outside the norm nothing about this is beyond the rights of the executive. The DoJ has always had prosecutorial discretion and the granting of security clearances has always been a discretionary decision of the executive.
Over the past few years it has become more important to many recruiters.
The idea that your network is your net worth is unfortunately a common belief.
Meta has legions of people working tirelessly to give it's users mental disorders, be it on Facebook turning your elderly relatives into racists and transphobes or Instagram giving young women body image disorders, and yet somehow everyone on those sites is a paragon of logic and reason compared to the average linkedin poster.

It's insane how it got this bad with no competitor trying to take its place.
I hate it, but it's a job search engine basically?

What's wrong with just sticking to that one use case? Posting about how you're a "problem solved, founder, writer, sports fan, recruiter , marathon runner -- and father" gets old quickly. That stuff can mostly be ignored and there's always Gaviscon or Tums when it gets really bad.

But yes, I use it for letting recruiters contact me.

Correct me if I’m wrong but the dumb thing was literally but to help people find and apply to jobs. I login then to go search for jobs in my city and the 1st 200 pages of recommended jobs are all labeled US. We really need to mass delete our LinkedIn’s and all agree to utilize indeed because unlike LinkedIn they’ve gotten significantly better at helping the user.

Also, if anyone hates LinkedIn and the current hiring process with a burning passion. I’ve been working on a software that auto applies to jobs for users and could use help. I’ve been working on it for 2 years and am honestly almost done but want to make it divine. The idea you ask? A user fills out 1 job application and just waits for emails to come in.
My company is full remote, we get things done in time with zero issues. That sounds like the culture and management of the place you work at are not equipped or want to deal with remote working.

Ah yes, LinkedIn, the site that, after my father passed away, harvested contacts from me and then sent me email purporting to be from my recently deceased father asking me to join LinkedIn.

Classy move guys. Been shitty sonce ‘15 at least!
Even thinking of css makes me want to puke. It’s just unbelieveable how far the DX has fallen, and everyone is okay with it! Imagine starting your project from implementing poor man’s TForm and TDBEdit. And all new devs actually believe that it’s completely normal.
4chan now makes people wait 5 minutes before posting anything.
LinkedIn has sunk lower than Facebook. Like Facebook, every once in a while I use it to look up somebody I used to know or to remind myself of a name I've forgotten. If I look somebody up and see that they're actually posting and engaging on the platform, I feel bad for them.

I say it's lower than Facebook because I know people who rely on Facebook for legitimately useful things — niche communities and local groups that just happened to coalesce on Facebook and were vital enough to survive the decline of the platform. I've never heard of anything similar on LinkedIn.

There's no legitimate use of LinkedIn that will keep people on it if they stop seeing it as a necessity.

This is really cool! I only have a single-spool printer, but I wonder if I could brush or stamp paint over the top to give the surface a different color from inset lettering. I should probably also reinforce my Z axis before trying to print day numbers that small.

The people who generate the documents /cannot/ be the people who decide if they're safe to release. There needs to be independent oversight. These are not agency documents they belong to the public. They may be classified but the moment they're no longer _objectively_ worth classifying they are absolutely public domain material.

It's also extremely offensive to see the names of AUSA's (Assistant US Attourneys) and SA's (FBI Special Agents) redacted. They had personal involvement in this case so I genuinely don't understand why their names cannot or should not be a part of this document. They're public figures in a public role.

This is so clearly not the case of an underexperienced team trying to accomplish something complicated and failing at it. The goal is to dismantle the government and that's exactly what they're doing.

my eyes hurt, but cute!
Same happened to me, but by the time they gave me my account back (though now “unverified”, even though I had to scan my DL for them to unsuspend my account - and even though I was premium and verified before the suspension btw - though the hatred is still there, the rage-motivation to document the insanity had devolved into apathetic sadness (with much help of the general state of the current incarnation of the job market) so I’ve said nothing until this meager reply.

But specifically, what had occurred was that I noticed I had nearly fallen for an LLM-bot clone or takeover account from my contacts in my DM directing me to this “great recruiting firm” that looked to be just an identity docs siphoning scheme.

That caused me to notice a bunch of new 1st-degree connections I hadn’t added, all of which were profiles purporting to be Chinese AI researchers. No clue if they were real people and I didn’t spend time to investigate before doing exactly what you describe - change of password and enable 2FA, with the added step of trying to report the suspicious circumstances to the obvious security@ etc email addresses… ALL attempts of which bounced with messages telling me to use the LinkedIn platform to report security issues, as those email addresses are not monitored. (lol)

Of course, when I reluctantly tried to capitulate and report the matter using the links from the bounce messages, I found I could not, since my account was suddenly suspended for “suspicious activity”, and the kicker was that in order to unsuspend it, they wanted me to upload scans of my government ID! Yes, they wanted me to do the suspicious sort of activity I was wanting to report was happening on their platform in order to use the very platform I suspected someone had already pilfered my identity through. I waited a week or so, too disgusted and angry and ready to write them off until, well.. oh yeah, a job. my contacts. sigh

Of course, that’s also another example of the insecure patterns companies force on their users and employees while at the very same time giving them training to not do
exactly those things, and exhibiting all the red flags they point out the employee needs to be aware of as indicators of phishing, etc.

I was with a company that outsourced their security policy training and compliance to a company that sent “URGENT” emails from phish looking custom domains incorporating our company’s name, and all the other red flags that told me not to do the things it asked. (so I didn’t, and instead reported each one to our internal security team. It was funny until it wasn’t.)

Hey… Nice. There’s that therapeutic rage-typing I never got around to, and this comment almost brings my comment back on topic. I feel a little better anyway. Thanks all!
Nice job. I will have a play.

In case anyone fails to notice the link to dotSCAD - do investigate it. That bloke (sadly now deceased was a OpenSCAD legend!)
