So here Putin says he had no choice but to attack Ukraine because NATO (a defensive treaty) was "expanding" into Ukraine. This is false. Ukraine wanted to be in NATO, but its membership request was rejected. And from the start of the war in 2014, it was never on the table - how would a country in a state of war could even dream of joining NATO (which at the time seemed a stable alliance)?

I know some Russians believe in this explanation, it seems very simple: Russia is not setting up nukes in Cuba so from the same PoV Ukraine should not host missiles hostile to Russia. Seems valid, right? The problem here is that Putin, as he admitted in his retracted victory piece[0], wanted to "solve the Ukrainian problem for the future generations" and basically make Ukraine part of his empire just as he did with Belarus. Ukrainians don't want to be his slaves so they chose to fight.

OP here. What we hope the independent thinks will realize is that when the cost of applying drops down to a single automatable click, their cursory click application is lost in a sea of spam. This allows them to stand apart. Recruiting and dating have a tone of parallels. They are time-intensive for both parties. And that time spent does not always result in a positive outcome. And yet that high time-cost (for both sides) is what makes the relationship meaningful.

Here's a question. In a difficult job market with a deluge of candidates, how should a candidate try and stand apart? And we have to answer that for the new AI age where output for many tests can generated very cheaply.

I honestly suggest YOU put in the work to filter the applications instead of trying to get the applicants to do it.

You will lose confident candidates otherwise. I sure as hell would quit halfway through and find other options.

IMHO you risk getting more “desperate” candidates by requiring them to answer all these questions.

I understand your motivation 100%. My company also gets at least 10x as many applications now compared to before ChatGPT, and by far most are garbage. This is OUR problem though, not the applicants'!

Brutalist Report Knock-Off
I really like the idea behind the brutalist report [1], mostly related to their claim of "headlines delivered without bullshit".

But I wanted even less interaction with most websites, as most of the headlines are related to something I am just mildly interested on, to the point of wanting to know more, but not interested enough to the point I feel like committing to reading the whole thing before knowing a bit more what it is about.

Anyway, I build this thing that parses the RSS feeds and do all summaries locally through ollama or whatever other OpenAI API compatible llm platform you have (e.g. LM Studio), and auto updates automatically twice a day through GitHub action scheduler

'The research is wrong because I said so' isn't exactly a compelling argument, and certainly not a strong enough one when you've been in the modern workforce long enough to recognize how badly layoffs are conducted at just about every company. I've seen enough 10x engineers get laid off to know that the idea that companies have any idea as to who is actually productive or not is just false.
So Russia invaded Chechnya and is now using Chechens to invade Ukraine.

You suggest that Russia takes Ukraine, then uses Ukrainians to invade Moldova?

That is what you are suggesting, right?

Also, my programmers keyboard gives me a very nice peaceful wage. A wage that I partly use to support the Ukrainian defence forces. I suggest everyone to the same: https://savelife.in.ua/en/.
The twist is that when you layoff the 80% who supposedly only did the 20% part, you pretty much still have to hire the same amount of people to do that 20%.
And what's more. Where do the requests for autocomplete/suggestions get sent? Because the Kagi plugin works by redirecting the result page. So whilst typing the search question in the address bar of the browser requests are made to autocomplete/suggest the search question. These are still sent to Google (or whichever search engine selected).
It seems to work so. Both Nokia and Nvidia started to disappear when they hit the 30% mark. Might depend on the country too. -- "Index Fund" is often run by robots and exempt from some curbs and cautions.

Note that a market-cap-weighted total market index fund like VTSAX will have a fair amount of real estate (currently about 4%). This means that if you combine VTSAX and VGSLX, you end up overweighting real estate. If you also own a home, you're further overweighting that asset class.

Such a strategy might make sense if you think real estate will outperform non-real-estate stocks in the long run (which, if you believe the Boglehead school of passive index investing, you shouldn't), or if you think the real estate market is not correlated with the stock market (which isn't the case), of course.

Ben Felix has a good video about it [1].

A 50/50 split between US and international means you're overweighting international. By market cap, the US is about 60% of the world and ex-US is 40%. (Around 1990 ago it was 30% US, 70% ex-US.) If you want a "passive" approach, the solution is to buy VTWAX (Vanguard Total World Stock Index Fund Admiral Shares), or its ETF version, VT.

How about you ask for a personal repo with open source projects that solve real problems?

Instead of inventing a bullshit pre-job you can make the world a better place. You also get a strong signal on who can deal with real world problems when they take more than 4 hours to solve.
I'm sceptical. Recent movements in Germany point into the opposite direction or rather a continuation of wishful thinking. Yes, a lot of debt-funded defence investment is coming. They also promised some investment in "infrastructure". At the same time the debt increase will delay reforms that are overdue for 20 years and longer. There were already calls that, now, with all brakes off, we can increase rather than curb spending on the welfare state. As it currently looks, the productivity gap with the US and Asia will widen rather than shrink. A very disappointing development to say the least.
Emmet Shortcuts That Will Save Hours of Coding
On the plus side, pitbull seems like one of the few with no actual rape accusations. So that’s good?
My advice is to just use standard library `database/sql`. Every abstraction on top adds extra complexity and isn't really necessary. Just execute a query, map the results, and there you go.
This isn’t how all layoffs work though. Some, yes they are due to over hiring and a failure of management to plan. They are likely necessary for survival of the firm and generally last course of action. Although even those come with a cost to current and departing employees which harms the business.

But the ones being discussed in the article are the consistent ones. The ones you do while you’re ahead to make your balance sheet look better. Those come with a temporary balance sheet boost and all of the negative effects of any layoffs.
I too used to believe those were valid points not to use an ORM back in the day. That was easily 2013/2014. Since then I’ve never found an ORM that gets in the way letting my just run raw SQL. And not just run raw SQL as complex as I’d like: it’ll also still give you all the magic once the response comes back.
> I understand that Trump wants Zelenskyy to sign the minerals deal and that implicitly there’s security guarantees.

I don't think this is true at all, I think Trump wants Ukraine to be conquered and for Russia to win and for people to stop bothering him about any of it.

Trump blew up whatever nonsense minerals deal there was, and is actively sabotaging the Ukrainian defence efforts via this, and ending intelligence sharing, and apparently leaning on random American companies to stop them selling services to Ukraine, and by providing diplomatic cover and support to Russia.

people haven't seem to have caught on yet - the US has switched sides, it is now part of the Russia bloc.

Virus vs. bacteria: Phages prove effective at killing pathogens in milk
I still have PTSD from around 2012 when a company I worked for and loved very much (chumby) imploded financially and almost all of the employees including myself got vacuumed up in an acquihire-type deal into a streaming media company that was building a would-be netflix competitor.

Us former chumby developers were working primarily on the front-end across a variety of embedded-system-like devices (writing code for early versions of 'Smart' TVs from the likes of Vizio, etc) while another team was creating the backend and whenever they would show us the infrastructure diagrams of what they were working on they would just place a "HADOOP Server" wherever they had no idea how they were going to solve some large difficult problem, it was effectively a stand-in for "magic happens here".

Got to the point where there were a hilarious number of layers upon layers of little cylinder icons in the system design titled "HADOOP Server" all interlinked in non-decipherable directed graphs.

I'm pretty sure every single one of us left the new company within 6 months, I lasted about a month and a half.

Yeah a lot of RU dismissing here.

Whatever shit tier RU MIC/performance has been, it has manage to consistently defeat or mitigate what US+EU has thrown against her. Which includes highend gear like PAC3 MSE. Meanwhile half the reason RU had a hard time was due to facing UKR's abundant legacy USSR systems. At this point it's not unreasonable to dismiss everything in EU arsenal as wunderwaffe tier especially without US support. Including F35... which even if US doesn't restrict usage against EU-RU scenario, could still be borderline paperweight without US tier ISR.

People also forget NATO fought a much shitter/temu RU in Yugoslavia where NATO threw everything at even more legacy soviet systems. All of the awacs, prowlers, F117 barely chiped away at 20% of Yugoslav anti air, something like 700 harms were fired and destroyed less than handful of SA6 batteries. Hard to argue EU part of NATO has better military capability than 20 years ago.

IMO there's a strong chance US would heavily restrict/limit F35 operations against RU. Because one shot down F35 by S400 let alone anything shittier completely evaporates narrative around 5th gen (and what that entails for IndoPac). They'd rather see RU hit F35s in hangers with standoff munitions because at least they can point to JP and SKR and say, see, you need to build harden air shelters.
Laat I think I knew anything it took surprisingly few flags and I think people abuse it all the time to get rid of things they personally don't like. And don't like is a broad category.
better for who?

I think everyone is underestimating the changes that are happening. Obviously if Trump wanted a prosperous USA, he wouldn't be isolating it, and destroying the federal government and wrecking scientific research and diplomacy across the world.

but an overall poorer US with a permanent far right government under the control of a small group of rich lunatics is better for those rich lunatics.

Currently, we operate around a 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM work cycle. Some things you work on will require more hours and effort, sometimes intense, and some won't. There may be a fair bit to pick up in your early days. You will likely need to put in more time, and that will pay dividends later.
Another way of putting it is that SQLite is uniquely amazing.

But this makes it very atypical: https://www.sqlite.org/testing.html

So it is hard to use as an example of typical practice.
I've been doing something similar with my drafts (https://taoofmac.com/space/blog/2025/01/12/1730) but have found that if I follow the LLM's recommendations all the time my writing becomes bland and formulaic.
But with lower rates, and with abysmal rampup period (or even afterwards).

Don't blame managers, they just follow money, why else would they work those crappy jobs. Blame idiots who think short term bonuses should be massive instead of some long term performance and investment of oneself in company's success.

Those are qualities that the author has cherry picked in the context of their business related interests. The nation also prides itself on preservation, (seeming) neutrality, and nature. Considering the sum total of the qualities that the nation cherishes, it is doing very well.

The second video repeats the same argument: the "NATO's eastward march". Putin says Russia had to start the war in Ukraine to stop NATO from expanding too close (he failed as two more countries joined NATO). But when you dig one "why?" deeper you can understand that NATO is not a self-aware entity that expands and threats, it's an alliance of countries that realize that if Russia attacks them and they are alone, they are in the same situation as Ukraine: alone and doomed to begging for help. Whereas if they stand together, Russia will think twice before attacking them. That's why Putin hates NATO so much: he can't freely conquer the Baltics - he'd have done it already in 2008 or so. So he uses anti-NATO rhetoric that people in Russia buy. Maybe they are really afraid Estonia or Bulgaria attacks Russia? Who knows what's in their heads.
Show HN: StreakHunter – Track your ProductHunt daily streak
Hey HN,

I recognized that many makers & hunters on Product Hunt have a little small pain. Sometimes they forget that Product Hunt exists for one day and then booooom, 303 Streak gone...

I know that streaks are important to some people and not to others.

For those people to whom it is important, I have the solution

I would really like to get your feedback on Streak Hunter!

I don’t think that’s the reason. Maybe there’s just too much discussion of the US and Ukraine. It’s understandable, the political situation at the moment is a big topic, it might risk drowning out other topics.
OK, sure. If there's a suggestion that this is better, then I wouldn't agree with that necessarily. But as I said, I don't want to get drawn into a more general discussion about exceptions. The nuance of just comparing Rust with C is barely possible to get across (see other discussion in this thread). Adding real exceptions into that mix is just a disaster lol.

> RAII is a powerful technique but what we've seen so far is only a partial solution. Things are (mostly) fine when working with objects but if we want to work with pointers, as in our Rectangle example, then we need to implement custom copy constructors, copy assignment operators, etc. if we want them to be safe. This is true even if we want to store on object on the heap but have a pointer on the stack. In the next post I'll be covering a technique called "smart pointers" that helps address these problems.
The Early History of Deferred Shading and Lighting
The inconsistent standards seen in this type of discussion damages sympathy amongst the public, and causes people who could be allies in future to just give up. Every year there are more articles on scientific fraud appear in all kinds of places, from newspapers to HN to blogs yet the reaction is always https://prod-printler-front-as.azurewebsites.net/media/photo...

Academics draw a salary to do their job, but when they go AWOL on tasks critical to their profession suddenly they're all unpaid volunteers. This Is Fine.

Journals don't retract fraudulent articles without a fight, yet the low retraction rate is evidence that This Is Fine.

The publishing process is a source of credibility so rigorous it places academic views well above those of the common man, but when it publishes spam on auto-pilot suddenly journals are just some kind of abandoned subreddit and This Is Fine "but I'm not arguing in favor of it".

And the darned circular logic. Fraud is common but This Is Fine because reputable sources don't do it, where the definition of reputable is totally ad-hoc beyond not engaging in fraud. This thread is an exemplar: today reputable means American R1 universities because they don't do bad stuff like that, except when their employees sign off on it but that's totally different. The editor of The Lancet has said probably half of what his journal publishes is wrong [1] but This Is Fine until there's "an analysis of sources that are widely accepted as being mainstream".

Reputability is meaningless. Many of the supposedly top universities have hosted star researchers, entire labs [2] and even presidents who were caught doing long cons of various kinds. This Is Not Fine.

It doesn't need to be giant, nor white - this architectural "style" is just plain ugly. It's like you wound up a toddler with chocolate candy - then gave him a big "Build A House" sticker book, and told him design your new house.

And even if your construction crew did everything perfectly, the longer-term maintenance that mishmash of exteriors is going to be miserable and expensive.
