I find iTerm2's constant prompts to update to be annoying. It has also crashed on me a few times. Lastly, I also prefer ghostty's text-based configuration.

In my experience it's more the case that 70% of employees are checked out

I haven't job hunted in five years or so, but leetcode was omnipresent in my local market. I got some offers without leetcode but those jobs paid about half as much as the ones that required leetcoding.

What does prep look like now?

> So let me ask this: How hard is it to create a temporary exit node that is basically a rasberry pi with a sim card or wifi connection say from a cafe, or any other public wifi, ans are online for say na hour or two?

It's not hard at all.

No. Your relays won't be trusted with significant amounts of traffic until they've been up for a few weeks.

Does this rely on the Trust Me Bro model, or is there some way for the client to verify that the provider actually isn't able to see your inputs?

I want to read a whitepaper but all I can find is the tl;dw conference presentation

If I told my coworker that his or her "brain is a gizmo" and to "not reproduce" I would expect to be frog marched out the door a few minutes later.

Once you have workloads that can't tolerate a power cut + running fsck for a potentially long time, a battery backup becomes an excellent investment. I bought a UPS on eBay for cheap and my home server hasn't gone down since.

No, it's because authentic writing on HN has been drowned out in an ocean of slop, in such quantities that calling it out is becoming an exercise in futility

What can stacked PRs do that a series of well-organized commits in a single branch can't?

If only there were some way to logically break up large pull requests into smaller pieces... Some way of creating a checkpoint with a diff including your changes, and some kind of message explaining the context behind the change... some way to "commit" a change to the record of the repository...

Policies like these are widespread in most companies with >1000 employees

Probably 90% of my coworkers in a US tech company are on a work visa. Now that there is pressure on the H1B program, my company is investing in a permanent engineering team in India. Whether this will pay off for them in the long term is a matter of debate, but it seems like the near-term future of the US engineering team is in serious doubt.

You can't just "dismantle H1B" and expect it not to backfire.

How many of those people have experience with augmented reality? Probably not that many.

$35k seems pretty low for this job. Hindsight is 20/20 of course.
