I suspect he's thinking of michaelochurch, but if so "a poster...who warned about tech authoritarianism, got banned for it, and had his career destroyed for the service" is a profound mischaracterization.
Whenever Ruff comes up, I reflexively go and check https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff/issues/970, since Pylint is the one tool whose performance I find to be egregiously bad. Looks like Ruff is still very far from being able to replace it.
"Having worked for a startup and lost my job to remote workers in a foreign country because they were cheaper and being told "we can hire 3 or 4 of them for the price of you" has left a bitter taste in my mouth."
Thanks. Having a "bitter taste" in this metaphorical sense does not necessarily mean that a person is inherently bitter. I am not a "bitter" human. Nor would I say any of my posts are "dripping" in bitterness, as Schnitzer claimed.
But again - if someone wants to pass on a hire because of that post, be my guest. I wouldn't want to work for such a petty individual.
These people are just suffering from ODD right now. They can't handle a world-view that makes them bad or evil, and so they will do anything they can to make you look evil/crazy/unhinged/depressed or bitter.
I believe thst it's just socially inept trolls who don't like my political statement. They're demonstrating their lack of ability to judge character - basing their whole assessment of my personality on alleged red flags in a few sentences that were made in response to their backhanded "advice". Typical internet incel behavior. I am not deterred.
Its quite strange. I'm being piled on for saying that I support American workers over immigrants (which is literally Trump's position) and I am accused of being bitter. I'm actually doing great considering. Would love to have a job, but if society won't allow me, then I'll simply use the system and continue building video games, not my fault. Blame Elon etc.
You can take this any way you like, but I'm genuinely trying to offer constructive criticism. Whether you mean to or not, you come across as bitter and angry.
...also a little socially awkward? Why use my last name in this forum? Not that it bothers me; I deliberately maintain a public profile. But the convention here is to use each other's usernames, and you had to click through at least a couple links to see my name. Do we know each other? I presume not, or you would have used my first name.
There's something a little strange about it; either you aren't picking up on community social conventions, or you're deliberately trying to break them. It's just a small and almost insignificant data point, but if I had to take a totally wild guess, these sorts of subtle social issues are what interviewers are picking up on.
You're spot on. Thanks for drawing this out and making it clear that, no matter what might be going on in the industry, the original poster's issue obtaining (and probably keeping) a job is about their contrarian attitude and lack of social skills.
What a goofy thing to say. I have excellent social skills and I do not have a contrarian attitude. The original post isn't even about my personal experiences. I've asked others what their experiences have been. Would you mind pointing to something outside of this post that would make you claim that I have a contrarian attitude and lack of social skills? Would you mind pointing to a specific job in which these alleged defects affected me negatively?
I recall holding down many jobs for many consecutive years and being let go of only one. I related why I was let go: the owner was able to hire cheaper foriegn labor - were you aware of this? The president said in 2016 that hiring h1b just to save a buck is something he would permanently end.
Here is a link to his statements. Were you aware of this as well?
I fail to see a contrarian attitude in this thread, but I do see internet trolls who smell blood and are attempting to bait me into a fight that won't happen. Good luck.
You have your full name linked in your profile. Look Jeff, you've offered up backhanded advice twice now in this thread. I'll offer up my honest feedback to you: you come across as rude and obtuse. We are having a discussion in this post about H1B, job shortages etc. Nothing I've said in any of these posts or comments is bitter or angry. You're free to read my words however you wish, but you might want to take a step back from your emotions, because they seem to have gotten the better of you.
I'm a pretty happy guy. I'm not really sure where you're getting any of your intel from, but you're wrong. Now I've corrected you twice. Anymore insisting on your part is just trolling. Your "constructive criticism" has been rejected.
I had a free minute to look over my posts. They aren't bitter. If someone reads these posts as bitter or sees red flags that prevents them from hiring me, that is a petty employer with poor reading comprehension who is too involved in my personal life and I wouldn't want to work for them regardless.
Furthermore, I haven't offered up enough information about my situation or experiences to make a real judgement about my personality. Anyone who hires or fires or makes other judgment calls in such a rash manner would make a terrible coworker, employer and business owner. Again - not someone I have any interest in spending time with.
I need no education on the hiring process or sly backhanded tips that are meant to degrade and belittle me. I have no time for such people or their empty words, and I won't be baited into a ridiculous argument. If you would like to stay on topic and post information about your recent experiences in the job market, by all means, do so. I didn't make this post seeking advice or help. I'm looking for information for research purposes.
Offering one's advice when another hasn't requested it is condescending, especially when one knows absolutely nothing about the other person.
If you wish to imagine me as a bitter person sitting around cursing immigrants for my woes, so be it. You'll be wrong and dumber for it, but I'm not going to waste my time trying to convince some idiot otherwise.
I have nothing to hide. I shared this whole post on LinkedIn. I don't care if a potential employer reads it.
Just to reiterate: they don't like it? I don't care. I like working with people who aren't petty and obtuse. Having no job is better than walking on eggshells and being strong armed out of a political opinion by trolls like Jeff under the guise of "creative criticism".
The WCC is just a tournament though, and the winner isn't always the best player. In 1993 for example Kasparov split from FIDE, and nobody thinks of FIDE's champions as "real" until Kramnik brought the titles back together in 2006. Meanwhile Kasparov lost a match and his title to Kramnik in 2000, but remained the highest rated player until he retired. And Magnus outranked Anand for years before bothering to contest the championship.
The top three classical players today are in their 30s (with Arjun right there behind Fabiano and Hikaru). The most impressive to me though are Anand in his fifties and Aronian in his forties, in the 10th and 11th spots. And then of course there's speed chess, where the youngsters are barely competitive.
There's not much point comparing them. The WCC cycles are inconsistent and Magnus has never liked the format. He played the Candidates in 2007 when he was 16, but there was a four-year gap after that until the next one. By that point he was already the top player and, just like in the cycle Ding won, he decided not to play. The explanation is here: https://www.chess.com/news/view/carlsen-quits-world-champion...
It's still mostly C, with bits of Python, Go, and other common languages sprinkled around, plus more esoteric things for the platforms with ASICs or other specialized hardware.
I'd join successful startups planning to IPO within a few years and be the one to take them public. Look at the background of Stripe's current CFO for an example. He did Aruba Networks, Palo Alto Networks, Confluent, and soon Stripe.
Looks like trampolines inside Y combinator. Interesting approach. Still of course with its own costs. I think some of the Scheme in JS implementation(s?) use trampolines as well, or at least considered doing that.
Right, passkeys are basically 1) a superset (FIDO2) of U2F that includes a passwordless option, and 2) software or "platform" rather than hardware or "roaming".
If akimbostrawman was knocking the passwordless part I agree. Partly for the obvious technical reasons, but also because in enterprise security 'passwordless' is being misused to market push-equivalent auth as 'phishing-resistant', and a lot of companies are falling for it.
If akimbostrawman was knocking the software part I disagree, because outside of companies like Google or Palantir IT teams aren't stoked about managing hardware tokens for tens or hundreds of thousands of people. The best option is the one people will actually use, and that's going to be passkeys.
sorry to be so pedantic, but passkeys is not a superset. All implementations and even the wording of the yubikeys creators say that it is the discoverable and passwordless option. See [1], i have not seen counter examples where they are wrong. However, webauthn does allow for the set of options you just referenced, i.e., FIDO2 including it's backwards compat with U2F.
Your mistake seems to be thinking that adding things to U2F credentials (here resident keys) doesn't make passkeys a superset, but that's what it does. Passkeys are U2F credentials with more stuff. The extra stuff makes passwordless possible, but whether it's allowed is up to the service. Either way, the user has a passkey.
The roaming vs. platform distinction is much more arguable. Common use has "passkey" meaning "passwordless-enabled platform authenticator", but technically hardware keys also fit the bill. I stick with the common use for pragmatic reasons, but either side can well-acktshually the other all day on this one.
