I get prompted to enter a 6-digit code that was sent to my email, but I only receive an email with a link to localhost.

Otherwise, looks cool!

I don't fully agree. I agree that helping employers find qualified candidates is good for those candidates, but I don't agree that making applications mail-in only would achieve that end. It doesn't solve a lot of the larger problems when it comes to job applications, and just makes things harder for the applicant.

That's a fair point! It is true that recruiters are human and cannot review 5k applications per week.

I don't mean to say that recruiters must/should review all applications, because indeed this is sometimes impossible. I'm just saying that, as a recruiter, your job is to review applications and you should therefore not be making things harder for the applicants.

Asking for someone's favourite GIF to filter out junk applications is a great idea. This does not detriment the applicant, and it makes the recruiter's job easier. This is good. Making all applications mail-in is not good, because it detriments the applicant (by way of costing significantly more time and some money), while also not solving some of the larger problems when it comes to the job application process.

As someone who is currently looking for a job, I don't like this idea.

All this does is increase the effort and barrier to entry to apply for a job. This is not a good thing. Applying to jobs is already time consuming as it is; nobody wants more hoops to jump through.

I understand that recruiters/hiring managers/whatever get a lot of junk applications, but frankly, it is your job to sort through them. You are paid to do this.

Could the hiring/job seeking process be better? Yes, absolutely. Currently, it's terrible, and almost everyone involved is making it worse. But the solution is not mailing job applications.

I think the "nothing to hide" argument is made for a different reason.

People are unafraid of the government knowing certain things because they believe it will not have any real repercussions for them. The NSA knowing your search history is no big deal (as long as you're not looking for anything illegal), but your church knowing your search history would absolutely be a big deal.

I'm surprised there haven't been more people "exercising" the second amendment in light of what ICE is doing.

Granted, I'm not in the U.S. so I don't know what it's like on the ground, but I'm surprised to not hear about any armed resistance despite how gun-happy many Americans are.

The "7+" clients thing is actually "more than 7 but I keep getting new clients and don't want to update my resume every time", but I get how that comes across.

For the max professional exp: does freelancing not count? I was making bank in high school, so I figured if I'm doing contract work for employers and making money, then it's professional, no? (naturally freelance isn't going so well now, otherwise I wouldn't be looking for a job)

Otherwise that all makes sense, thanks for the feedback! :)

Hey, thanks for taking a look!

> I'm struggling to figure out what you're good at

Can it not be all of them? :p

That's one of my big challenges with resumes. People assume I can only be good at one thing and/or assume that I'm lying about my work experience.

I can get _really good_ references from all of my previous employers (because I am legitimately good at everything on my resume), but I never seem to get to that point.

Historically, if I get a technical interview, I get the job every time. The challenge is getting the technical interview.

If I had a nickel for every "secure" app that handled sensitive user data and then subsequently leaked that data this year...

I'd only have 20 cents, which I guess is good. But I'm sure there's more I'm forgetting.

Well, no, I know a lot of people who think lab meat is seriously NOT ok (these are the same people who think GMO corn will somehow kill you).

Well, if you're unable to read, you're not going to figure out what the buttons do by reading the textual labels :p

Further, if you have difficulty reading, it's easier to parse the meaning of an abstract symbol, so you'd use that instead of a textual label when available. (I say this as someone who is a really slow reader. I use icons when I can)

I'll throw in my $0.02, as a fellow zoomer. I care about the things that are mine (as in, my code, my decisions, etc. etc.). But if management fucks up and tells me to fix it, there is no amount of money that will make me care. Especially if I advised management _not_ to do that in the first place.

It's not a racism thing, it's because India is in a fairly unique position: their population is so large, that (relatively speaking) the top 0.1% of Indians in any sector tend to outnumber the top 0.1% of (for example) Americans in that sector, plus if an Indian immigrates to America, a company can pay them less than an equivalent American employee (for various reasons).

So you basically can pay an Indian immigrant a junior dev salary, for significantly-better-than-junior-dev work. It's just stonks.

I definitely believe that the modern internet, computers, and phones are bad for us, but this argument is entirely unconvincing. Most of the data _seems_ to be U.S.-specific, which means that this data does not indicate if this is a global phenomenon. Further, a lot of the trend lines don't start in 2007 and could be easily attributed to other causes.

I don't use Zorin anymore, (I'm a dirty Ubuntu plebian) but I used to use it and it's great. The only thing I liked about Windows 11 was it's slick UI, and Zorin is basically the only Linux distro that replicates that without a ton of hassle. Zorin Connect is also awesome if you use your PC to watch TV on your TV.

If you're thinking of abandoning Windows, (which, honestly, who isn't these days) Zorin is a good choice.

Is there any specific reason to use this over e.g. manually setting an "emotional score" for specific dialogue? Maybe I'm misunderstanding how this works, but from a game design perspective I'd be a bit worried about the model inferring the emotion incorrectly, or more generally having a lack of control over the specific values being used.

Hey, Alexa?

It's crazy that a repair shop needs your passcode. I can't think of any case where it would be necessary.

I'm glad this person won the lawsuit though; getting your nudes leaked is a really shitty situation to be in. Apple needs to do a better job vetting their repair shops.

Sounds like a new religion in the making!

To add: AFAIK most adult content websites bill under a different, innocuous name as well. You don't get a charge on your credit card from BigBussomsCom, you get a charge from SuperCard or something like that. (uh... I know because of a friend...)

It looks to me more like bad Photoshop, not AI. Like a real photo with a bunch of elements comped in on top, like you'd see in historical edutainment content back in the 2010s or earlier.

This is something I think a lot of people miss about Rust - outside of slow compile times and personal preference, there is no reason not to choose Rust over JavaScript/TypeScript (unless of course you're working in the browser). It does everything JavaScript can do, but it does it faster and with more stability. At the end of the day, these features pay out huge dividends.

And this isn't Rust zealotry! I think this goes for any memory-safe AoT language that has a good ecosystem (e.g. Go or C#): why use JavaScript when other languages do it better?

> any task that has any sort of safety or security critical risks should never be left to a “magic black box”. > human input/review/verification/validation is always required.

but, are humans not also a magic black box? We don't know what's going on in other people's heads, and while you can communicate with a human and tell them to do something, they are prone to misunderstanding, not listening, or lying. (which is quite similar to how LLMs behave!)

Why not use Lua for config instead of TOML? IIRC Lua was originally a data schema language, so it should be good for it.

Hi, I'm Kurtis. I've been programming for ~10 years, 3 years professionally. I'm currently looking for a project that has positive real-world impact; working at a company that chugs out AI slop for the betterment of stakeholders isn't really my thing. The listed technologies are in no particular order, nor are they comprehensive. For relocation: I have Canadian and EU citizenship.

Feel free to shoot me an email with any opportunities you have, or just to connect. (I'm always down to expand my network) Have a nice day :)

Excellent, now we can justify working more hours per day because our employees need less sleep!

Not necessarily, there are a lot of drugs that have reduced or no effect for certain individuals. Think caffeine or alcohol tolerance.

That sounds dope, I'll be there!

Zed is amazing, and I definitely recommend it. That said, I will not be using their AI features, and if the editor turns into a slow, bloated monster because of them (like Visual Studio and anything made by JetBrains) I will have to ditch it.
