opisthenar84 — Fri, 01 Mar 2024 21:32:40 +0000

Sorry as this is not a "wants to be hired" post, but I'm curious how well this monthly post works for people actually looking for new opportunities. Can anybody share their experiences?

Might be a noob question but for truly important data, couldn't SDCs be detected by using ECC everywhere?

I fail to see how programmable logic patched together == "the future of video game preservation". There's community, software, testing, etc... involved as well.

This story has close to 500 up votes as of 2:19PM Pacific and is no longer on the front page. Why flag an article that is simply trying to show how HN can potentially be improved?

A seemingly common theme through all these layoffs is that engineers are less impacted than other orgs.

Depends on the podcaster. Usually between 1x and 1.5x and rarely higher than that unless I'm pressed for time.
