The pocket thing is real. As a man, I just never understood that. Perks of dating a high-end fashion designer.

And when those same companies make public some front end framework, or sponsor a major open source product, or create some novel distributed acid compliant database we (the HN community) rally behind them and say huzzah.

Back in my day, Staff was below Senior. But staff engineer wasn’t really used, and title inflation started giving out senior level titles for 3 years experience, so I guess Staff got rebranded as more senior than senior.

Who is this guy and why are we listening to his advice? Edit to add: None of this advice really holds. At the end of the day, your technical ability is what matters. If you're gunning for a promotion, figure out what your manager needs

Some raw thoughts: * Its been about 3-weeks since the author was laid off. Personally, I would expect that being close to a job offer from cold intros in that time frame could also signal a broken job market. * Quick rejections are a good t

467 users seems like it would not trigger abnormal API usage. Sounds like Yelp sent a form letter.

Curious how much money the app developer made, and how much they paid for Yelp API access.

This is a very salient point.

There is not, but there is plenty of historical evidence that scientific and technological progress has routinely addressed humanities crisis du jour.

The point isn't IMO rules. It's that we are living in a period of time where there are very real consequences of nearly a century of unchecked CO2 due to human industry. And AI (like crypto before it) requires considerable energy

And? The result is (likely) net energy consumption, resulting in (likely) net CO2 emissions. So, what was did it cost us for this achievement in AI? EDIT TO ADD: It's fair to think that such a presser should not include answers to my q

What was the total energy consumption required to acheive this result (both training and running) And, how much CO2 was released into earths atmosphere?

Not me. One: I don't want to pay a yearly fee to use a hardware device I paid for. Especially when that price will inevitably increase. Two: Paying a monthly fee for the privilege of saying "Turn the lights on." in my own fli

Meanwhile the 3rd Gen AppleTV was released in 2013 and was obsolete by 2015 when they released tvOS. I owned the 1st gen (used) and 3rd gen. Terrible investments (imo).

It's the experience on Roku. We have a cheap Roku, and it is awful. On my WebOS TV's, AppleTV works exceptionally well, only Hulu and Netflix beat it in terms of reliability. Paramount+ on the other hand. Total POS.

I've never managed linux IT departments--how well are the management tools compared to what Microsoft offers such as tooling for managing thousands of computers across hundreds of offices.

Same. Maybe not too old for tech, but in my 40's wondering if I can do this until I reach the age when I can withdraw from my retirement accounts without paying a tax penalty.

Uber and Lyft require this as well, and it’s easily thwarted.

Who is the "we" here? And how should companies be held accountable? It's very rare for someone at the highest level to be held to any kind of liability, and paying fines rarely, if ever, causes these too-big-to-fail corporati

I went to a Science and Engineering school, and everyone had to take ethics: ME's, ChemE's, CompEng, Civs, etc. This is such an important part of engineering as a profession.
