Yea, OCaml is still referenced on their job posts.

I can’t imagine how 10 years of experience as an SWE would be irrelevant for another SWE position, even if the industry is different.
There a number of large, well funded “startups” that don’t do the traditional algorithm based interviews but still pay at or above that range.
I’d love to make that move but AFAIK Italy doesn’t have a “digital nomad” visa like many other countries now have.
Take a look at the node_modules directory for just the React app. It’s huge! Combined with the boilerplate of the other parts of the stack, the amount of code that the developer has no insight into is absurd.
Why do you say that?
There seems to be this idea among younger individuals online that because prices jumped so quickly that a correction is inevitable, and it’s just not. There’s a ton of demand still out there, and the second any sort of meaningful dip is perceived all those buyers will be right there.
Prices went up because a shit ton of money was printed with sub-3% rates. Why would any sane person with a 3% mortgage ever sell, especially when inflation is 9%? It’s quite literally free money.
Why do you believe holding cash is a good idea?
Explicit Intents are also common and are used for a variety of purposes.
It’s done for legitimate purposes, for example knowing which apps to launch for a given ‘Intent’ or checking for the existence of Google Chrome to attempt to launch a Chrome Custom Tab.
It’s normal functionality for mobile apps.
Now, if they are scanning visible installed packages and sending that data to their own servers for storage, that would be a story, but there’s no evidence that that is occurring.
By the way, love your username.
Apps can scan the device for installed packages that have opted to be “visible”. This is particularly common for apps that attempt to prevent rooted users from using the app. I would not be surprised if the iOS platform has similar functionality.
I’m not a fan of TikTok but this seems like it’s not a big deal.
If so, why would one want to do that versus taking an existing cell and injecting custom DNA?
Most people don’t understand how many bots are influencing public discourse on reddit. It’s really concerning, particular that the “real” users on reddit tend to be young and impressionable.
One would think that would be separate from the act of web scraping.
I haven’t found anything loke that yet, and I don’t know if it would be feasible to crowdsource summarized publications. AI summarization isn’t quite good enough yet.
My current team spontaneously started using FigJam for a variety of things (it’s like a real time multiplayer whiteboard) and I’m starting to think a cross between FigJam/Figma and JIRA/Trello would be a useful product. Basically tickets are directly associated with or “on” mocks, perhaps like annotations.
Maybe a good weekend project for me haha.
I wonder at what point such people will began to consider the evidence in earnest, regardless of the fact that most of these mandates have thankfully been repealed.
It’s worked quite well.
I’d be thrilled to join a team; I work as a senior developer (web and mobile apps) but unfortunately have no CTF or “real” cybersecurity experience. I have a deep interest in space and relevant technologies. Would such a skillset be useful?
Malta was even touting quite a bit about being the first European country to reach herd immunity..back in May.
In my opinion, anyone who believes continued restrictions have been about anything other than political theatre and positioning are utterly delusional.

The comment you responded to asked for an honest, intellectual response but your response was reactionary, rude, and provided no insight.
The links you supplied in your other comment do not show a clear causal effect of mandates and restrictions on case rates. Outbreaks are known to follow a pretty clear 45 day cycle; the onset of restrictions usually occur as rates are exponentially increasing and theres no evidence that such restrictions taper infections to a degree discernible from the normal cycle.
Furthermore, observational evidence from states like Florida, a state that has zero restrictions or mandates and yet currently has the lowest case rate in the United States, make the idea that such measures have a “massive effect” on spread dubious at best.
Some notable excerpts:
> Plaintiff seeks the records submitted to the FDA by Pfizer to license its COVID-19 vaccine (the “FOIA request”) and requests an order requiring the FDA to produce all documents responsive to its FOIA request no later than March 3, 2022. This 108-day period is the same amount of time it took the FDA to review the responsive documents for the far more intricate task of licensing Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine.
> Plaintiff is an organization comprised of over 30 accomplished academics, professors, and scientists from the medical schools and related departments of our most prestigious universities, including Yale, Harvard, UCLA, and Brown.
> The ability of a majority of Americans to participate in civil society, and even exercise basic liberty rights, are now contingent on receiving this product. For example, the White House’s recent Covid-19 Action Plan and executive orders have made receipt of this product a condition of employment for more than 6 million federal workers and contractors, 22 million healthcare professionals, 84 million private sector employees, and the enlisted and reserve members of our armed forces. There are few whose livelihood, education, service, and participation in civil society are not contingent on a government requirement to receive this product. On this basis alone, basic liberty and government transparency demand that the documents and data submitted by Pfizer to license this product be made available to Plaintiff and the public forthwith, precisely as contemplated by federal regulations.
> The acute need for transparency regarding this product is heightened by the fact that the secretary of Health and Human Services (“HHS”), the FDA’s parent department, has granted Pfizer complete immunity from financial liability for any injury caused by its product.
> It took the FDA precisely 108 days from when Pfizer started producing the records for licensure on May 7, 2021,14 to when the product was licensed on August 23, 2021.15 We assume, as the FDA has stated, that it conducted an intense, robust, thorough and complete review and analysis of those documents in order to assure that the Pfizer vaccine was safe and effective for licensure. The FDA now has an equally important task of making those documents available to the Plaintiff in this case and the public at large in at least the same timeframe. The FDA’s own regulations envision and reflect upon the importance of making this information public as soon as a vaccine is licensed. Its regulations provide that it is to make “immediately available” all documents underlying licensure of a vaccine. 21 C.F.R. § 601.51(e). The FDA knew the intense public interest in that data and information. It should have been preparing to release it simultaneously with the licensure. Instead, it has done the opposite. Despite the passage of 84 days since licensure and 192 days since Pfizer started producing the records for licensure, the FDA has not released a single document submitted by Pfizer for the licensure of its Covid-19 vaccine. Not one page.
I’m not a lawyer but the complaint seems perfectly reasonable.
I moved to San Francisco a few years ago with the sole goal of starting a tech company. The “cushiness” of my well paid day job has made me a bit lazy in that regard, but it’s still the goal.
However, I’ve become extremely disenchanted with the city and state, so the idea that tech startup == San Francisco is the only thing keeping me here.
I have a theory that I cannot provide verifiable evidence for, but due to the technical fluency of the readers here I believe it may be interesting to some.
I run a small marketing service that ingests new content submitted to a number of social media sites (colloquially known as “social listening”). We run text analytics on the content, primarily to find marketing opportunities for customers. That system also has very rudimentary checks for “bot” accounts.
Starting in early 2020 there was a massive, massive spike in the number of bot accounts creating and responding to content on reddit. Our system doesn’t “cross-reference” flagged accounts very well, but I manually went through the post history on a few of those accounts and found that many of them had responded with congruent comments to submissions of other flagged accounts.
Furthermore, most of the flagged accounts had a similar pattern in the timing of their posts. Posts and comments were relatively irregular and sporadic near the start of the accounts’s history, indicative of a real user. Then, submissions completely stopped for a number of months. After the pause, the account would resume submissions and comments with far more regularity. The patterns exhibited by those accounts may indicate that they were overtaken and sold in bulk accounts lists for use as bot accounts.
Every account that I checked was posting content with a clear narrative.
I believe these are very large bot networks upvoting and submitting content of a particular nature in order to sway popular discourse and give an appearance of a particular consensus among conversation participants.
The plausibility of my theory has been augmented by the fact that rudimentary software for creating reddit bot networks can be found for sale on various “botting” forums. Furthermore, I was accepted into the OpenAI GPT-3 beta a few months ago; the capabilities of that model have further convinced me of the validity of my theory.
If you have experience with bots, natural language processing, or another related field, please feel free to point out flaws in my theory!
As much as many of us would prefer this to be the case, this is clearly false.
Newsom’s anti-recall ad is entirely about mask and vaccine mandates. In fact, I believe it mentions no other topic.
Reddit allows for unlimited account creation and has extremely poor, if any, detection algorithms. Additionally, its trivial to stream and analyze the entirety of Reddit comments and posts in real time (check out PRAW if you like Python).
Networks pushing COVID narratives and crypto frauds are probably the worst offenders. Here’s an example I just came across in /r/miami: https://reddit.com/r/Miami/comments/p1z6a7/have_you_guys_see.... The networks pushing certain COVID narratives are evening more troubling as, unlike crypto, im not sure what the end game is or who is controlling those networks.
