Huawei which I previously worked for run month long hackathons aimed at PHDs & would offer internships to the top 3 teams with a return offer if they do well. This is Europe only though and competition is tough (~200+ teams with people from around the continent)

What are people doing to need 700 applications? If you went to university, usually you'd be able to get an internship after 4-5 applications & a return offer. Then afterwards just stay put when the economy isn't doing well and hop around when it is.

Big vibes of “just walk into all the offices and hand them a paper copy of your resume, people love that kind of initiative!”

Categorically wrong. Graduates exceed jobs/internships (if you pass the ATS gods)

He should have said good graduates with good grades, not middling types that turn up and put name to paper.

I don't think it's bonkers. For running a true home server sure, there's more powerful things out there. But for hosting something like a ZigBee and Z-wave coördinator a Pi makes much more sense. Electricity is expensive, yo

From what I can tell, the company did misuse the specific visa but it's generally a grey area that the US has historically turned a blind eye to. Given that Korea is a strong ally of the US and the project was done at the behest of Trump for reviving manufacturing, I feel like some leeway should've been given & more diplomatic means used rather than parading the Koreans around like gang members

A classic case of applying the letter of the law rather than the spirit of the law.

The number of human beings in the West who can discern the difference and use wisdom and intelligence appears to be declining.

Everything is now either black or white.

What does that tell you about Anglo Western Culture?

I have always seen people - the same people - being able to use arguments based on letter or spirit of the law depending on the situation. I'm not seeing a trend towards one or the other.

Some call it hypocrisy - and normally the same people are capable of displaying hypocrisy in other arguments too.

Thank you so much. I only need a Mac to compile/debug with Xcode (still can't get USB pass through with quickemu working) but Apple has been killing old versions such that projects wont build and home brew has no bottles and whatnot.

Do I need it? No. Do I want to use it because of the superior tooling? Yes.

Honestly. Give yourself a month to learn it and migrate your home lab and it's actually not too difficult. Yes it takes a lot of debugging initially, but like most things, once you're familiar, it becomes easy.

The fact that another engineer stands a chance of being able to see my cluster & have some basic idea how it works—that a k8s system self describes itself fairly well— is a superpower. Even if it remains yours and only yours, having a common reference frame to discuss your computing adventures in, being able to break out the great pieces others have made: it's so much more compelling to me than cobbling together your one off special pet of a system.

What you’re arguing is in favour of standards.

And that’s an undeniable feature of Kubernetes: people know about it, and smart people use the same (CNCF) building blocks, to keep maximising the probability that your next Kubernetes engineer has also knows about it.

But do you want to turn your software system distributed at the cost of immense complexity?

Only if you’re already cultivating something immensely complex, and you’d be better off with a common language.

They're probably American, like most of HN. It does feel like a shitty way to treat allies

I've been self hosting my email for a couple years. Currently using mox https://github.com/mjl-/mox I'd avoid popular server providers like Hetzner or DO. Lots of abuse there so you might get dropped. https://www.eth-services.de sponsors mailcow and has been pretty reliable

I've won a couple hackathons with just CP-SAT & Linear Programming which led to my first jobs. I'm surprised not more people know/use it. Very inefficient compared to the "correct" answer but the development speed is much faster.

> If someone solves a leetcode hard with a constraint solver and you don't hire them, you are an idiot

Sometimes you just don't want someone that takes these shortcuts. I think being able to solve the problem without a constraint solver is much more impressive

I legitimately can't tell if this is satire.

> First, political commentary should be regulated

Who does the regulating? The current Trump regime? Huge first amendment violation

> come from SA/Zimbabwe and comment on posts of US political candidates.

Because those posts are being made on a private platform. Are you sure you want something worse than UK's Ofcom proving your American identity just to speak?

> It should be compulsory for voters to vote

Maybe, but definitely not in a 2 party system.

> make them understand how the economy, the Fed, world trade, US intelligence, foreign policy, interest rates, and bonds work

Not specifically those. Please just have universal free education. There's no need to specifically teach kids how to think politically. That's definitely going to get abused for propaganda
