No, that is a Russian site that uses English/USD (maybe for easier international remote job seekers.)

I hope you are right. OTOH, with an actual over abundance of labor instead of always on hiring barely finding enough employees, they can either go even farther in the direction of pointless hoops or even shorter on wages relative to output.

My advice to everyone who is thinking about tech is to find a domain that needs tech assistance and consider that domain your career future. Street smart engineers I know have mostly dropped out by 40, so tech is not a career.

"and you will too" is a big part of why this is the accurate TLDR.

I looked at the job market a few months ago and Carona aside, the market is in a terrible state. Companies are looking for unicorns that agree with them on style, chose all the right techs four years ago, are young or otherwise willing to accept abuse, and write like someone with 10 years experience teaching TDD style programming. On top of that they want you to agree that they have chosen a profitable business that will save the world.

Building with insulated concrete forms costs about 5% more.. So it is really not unaffordable to build a durable house in the US.

Everything is done to minimum standards in the US because of paradoxical markets like banks competing to give mortgages. The bank that wants only houses that will survive the mortgage let alone second buyers mortgage (for the threat to resale value) loses.

Yes, and given that an Intel PC is a valid build target for almost every language and we pay were paying by the word in job classifieds, we almost went broke before we realized we had to throw them out too.

But after initial turbulence, life has gotten much simpler (and dare I say quiet) for our HR since we moved to using the stock job profiles shipped with the platforms we buy.

It's nice to see a good quality effort on a modern C book.

Looking at the current language/job markets outside the center, I feel like we are hitting the same problems as in open source. People add C++ to every C job to have something with the same level of innovations going on as new languages, even if it is about Linux embedded and you wouldn't let a C++ construct near the system.

Attenborough recently accepted criticism that he went too far in avoiding the topic of environmental damage (i.e. finding angles to imply pristine environments where they no longer exist.)

I would say that makes him a perfect person to raise these topics as his previous bias is to avoid problems until they are beyond grim.

Yeah, I think the most charitable explanation is that as one gains expertise one is looking for and increasingly helped only by ever more critical and precise review. One may have trouble seeing the difference in what a beginner needs and think "better" review is a short cut around "wasted" time.

Is there a static Twitter thread cache somewhere? Loading this fails with "something went wrong" and then "you are rate limited".

If Twitter's dark pattern to force login/app usage were just a little closer to the headline, I would have thought the failure was the punchline of this posting.

With toll free numbers every land grab makes sense to the buyer, but no one else can take .google and existence of this and other brand TLDs will suck for their product experiences.

People fly to cruises so frequently that it is part of a the package system.

Ignoring what you don't understand is arguably valid, dark mode would be illegal..

If TS becomes the majority, it seems to me like the browser debuggers could start using types at run time to catch some interesting things that aren't so obvious when compiling the pieces. I.e. help the people who add the final touches to a site check that they have not messed it all up without the project writer needing to decide how many guards to compile in to the project interfaces.

Probably the largest problem I have with modern projects is how unfriendly they are to experiment with on the page, even if there's no intention to prevent it.

But the opposite happens because the same scientists own IP and run the study to determine its worth. So we know less and waste more than having done nothing.

It must be nice to have an employer who is OK with your neither confirming nor denying your job responsibilities.
