You've stated in a previous comment that non-US citizens can be denied entry to the United States if border officers request access to your phone and you decline to do so.
... but what about when non-US citizens leave the US?
For example, as a Canadian, if I'm down in the US and, on my way back up to Canada, a US border officer requests access to my phone and I decline... what happens then?
I started in 2003, learned C++, then did the majority of my courses in C++ with a class in Java with self-taught Python, C#, and PHP along the way for coursework.
Can someone fill me in, but is there still the derogatory "Java school"? I find that silly because most jobs in programming use some sort of managed memory programming language so teaching everyone in Java makes a lot of sense.
Oops. Double-checked everything (I thought) before submitting but missed that one. Well, that explains why I didn't see it on the https://news.ycombinator.com/ask page.
... And I don't seem to have the ability to edit the title of my own post? Huh. I would have expected to be able to edit it. HN's UI is deliberately simplistic, which is nice most of the time, but either I'm missing something obvious or there's a bit of functionality missing.
Shrug. Well, if there's no way to fix it then I'll wait a while and re-submit with a correct title.
Seems like those are the only hubs kind of hiring. The few recruiter messages I get these day seem to be from there (despite saying I'm not inerested in re-locating).
And even those are way down. Los Angles simply seems dead from my experience the last 2 years.
Yikes, Mixpanel lost a OpenAI as a customer because of this.
> Trust, security, and privacy are foundational to our products, our organization, and our mission. We are committed to transparency, and are notifying all impacted customers and users. We also hold our partners and vendors accountable for the highest bar for security and privacy of their services. After reviewing this incident, OpenAI has terminated its use of Mixpanel.
You actually might be on to something... AI aside, it's often a good idea to include visuals in a PR such as diagrams.
But having something like a comic where it's both visual and communicative in a more conversational/narrative way could prove pretty effective. Also if you can throw some humour in there, it could potentially add even more comprehensibility, etc.
This is a pretty stunning statistic to me. I suppose if you were to ask me to guess which gender is hospitalized the most frequently for mental health reasons, I'd probably guess women... but I wouldn't expect the distribution to be that extremely skewed.
Because all social platforms and message boards are like living entities:
They have their infancy and grow into something popular (relatively speaking) then your older members either get bored or jaded, often both. The culture of the platform starts to change while more people leave disliking the change than new people discover the platform. Resulting in the platform steadily shrinking in popularity.
Every social network and forum has experienced the same phenomenon.
It's hard to describe the experience now, but Slashdot in the early 2000's was more of a community disguised as a tech blog. Sure the editors selected the stories from the queue, but everyone had a chance to submit something they thought was interesting, and then comment on what got through. Even the site editors would regularly participate in the discussions, and I got the feeling that everyone there (except maybe the trolls) were passionate about technology. It was easy to spend an entire day just going back and forth with someone in the comment sections about whatever the controversy of the day was. It was magical.
Once CmdrTaco sold the site to Dice, they tried to turn it into a business intelligence/job board, which turned off a lot of long-time users (they also tried a site redesign that was functionally useless and had to abandon it after a lot of complaining). Then Dice got tired of it and BizX bought it to add to their trophy case, but haven't done anything meaningful with it. The site has been on autopilot since the acquisition. The 'editors' are faceless interchangeable usernames who just load up a bunch of stories from the queue and let them auto-post throughout the day and almost never show up in the comment threads. The 'community' is barely there, most discussions get less than 50 comments. They turned off anonymous coward posting (unless you're logged in). The user poll hasn't been updated since April. And so on. It also didn't help that Hacker News came along and ate most of their lunch.
Basically, slashdot was hollowed out and the shell is all that's left. But the new owner can put 'COO of Slashdot Media' on his LinkedIn page, which is probably the most important thing.
IMHO people moved to Hacker News. I would guess one of the reasons is better comment system here. Algorithmic ordering of comments based on up/down is important for scaling to thousands of comments. Slashdot had scoring system, but comments were still ordered by time, which makes it less practical.
Slashdot was somewhere between a well curated tech subreddit and Hacker News.
It had its own in-jokes like: This is finally "the year of the Linux Desktop" and Jonathan "CowboyNeal" Pater, the site's moderator who often posted polls and commented.
In the late 2000s, most migrated their Slashdot reflex to Digg - and then eventually the YC-backed Reddit when there was a disastrous rollout of Digg v4 (in 2010)
Reddit then became less of a technology-focused site as it gained popularity, and HN became the defacto "tech news" aggregator with a well rounded comment section that resembled the early days of Slashdot, Digg, and Reddit.
What I really miss was the moderation system. There was a simple 1-5 score and a main trait (insightful, funny, flamebait, underrated, overrated...). To moderate you had to earn points which would you then spend, so careful consideration mattered. The result was that you could filter for 5+Insightful and get the core of the discussion, or 5+Funny and have a good time, etc.
Ignoring what Slashdot was like specifically: A lot more optimistic, a lot of hope and positive views of what the future would bring. The internet felt bigger, as if there was more to discover, even if it's larger now. More stupid, more fun. May it was just because I was younger.
It was a lot like HN, but more curated and with a more complex (and arguably better) moderation system. More focused on Linux and open source than HN, but still a technology news site with comments.
To be honest I never liked the community much. But back then I still stubbornly clinging to smaller, more specialised communities (plus OSNews.com haha)
