Yeah, the last 5 jobs (of 6 jobs) I’ve had I’ve applied with a markdown file or just a link to the rendered webpage in an email, IIRC.

In my head at least, it helps me filter for companies/managers that appreciate a hacker mentality. I also suspect it might help the applicant tracking systems parse my shit more correctly since it’s just plaintext. (Though the opposite could also be true since I assume the vast majority of submissions would be PDF.)

I wrote my CV in markdown for my website. I just submit the markdown file as the resume. For the few jobs I’ve applied to that have required a PDF, I just copied the text from my webpage (to get rich text formatting) into LibreOffice and exported as a PDF.

Though, I might not not be the best example to follow, I’ve been unemployed for almost 6 months.

I’m in the process writing my own version of webscript.io, an old service that died back in 2017. It was a dead simple service that would run a Lua script for each HTTP request that came in to a URL. It sounds pretty trivial, but it was remarkably useful for hacking together little scripts for things like watching webpages for changes, little custom APIs for DIY IoT devices, translating from one API to another, and other simple stuff like that.

I’ve got enough of it built that I’ve been able to make a few actually useful things with it already. A few different job posting website scrapers were the first thing I made. I also made a little script that queries a live traffic api and sends my wife an estimated drive time for her commute home. The plan with that one is to watch the drive time as it’s getting closer to the end of the day and if it starts spiking earlier/worse than normal, it can email her letting her know she should leave early if she can.

1. Post your actual configs and logs or people will only be able to guess. (Censor any secrets.)

2. My guess: It’s probably your nginx config.

3. Why are you using 0.19.4? That version is over a year old.

I’m curious, have you used Rust much? Most of those changes just feel like “rust should be more familiar to me” changes.

Also:

As Rust 2.0 is not going to happen, Rust users will never get these language design fixes

Isn’t necessarily true for most of your suggestions. Since most of them are just changes to syntax semantics and not language semantics they could be made in an edition.

It doesn’t sync to homeassistant, but I use a Xiaomi scale with openScale off of F-Droid. There’s a few different scales supported: https://github.com/oliexdev/openScale/wiki/Supported-scales-in-openScale

As someone who is currently hiring: Anything

Beyond that it depends on what you know and what kind of work you want to do.

Hey, this might be something I’m interested in, but I’m not sure because there aren’t many details in your readme.

Some questions I’d suggest you answer in the readme:

[Edit: after looking through the code quickly, some of my questions probably don’t male sense because this seems to be an alerting style monitoring tool, not a observability style monitoring tool. Answering my own questions for others that are curious:]

What does it monitor?

[Disk space and CPU use]

What is the interface? Web? It does compare itself to grafana, so maybe. TUI? Maybe that’s what makes it more light weight?

[It doesn’t have one, it sends telegram messages when alarm thresholds(?) are hit.]

Does it only work on Debian? If not, are there deps that are required that are installed as dependencies of the deb?

[Looks like it should work anywhere, the ‘watchers’ use the nix crate and read procfs, so I assume that means it should work anywhere without depending on anything besides the Linux kernel.]

Is there history or is it real time only?

[Realtime only, well I guess there’s the telegram history.]

What does it look like? (Honestly, a screenshot could possibly answer most of these questions and a whole lot more.)

[It doesn’t look like anything. There’s no screenshot because there’s nothing to screenshot.]

The day Firefox shutters its doors is the day the internet truly dies.

*the web

The internet has so far been doing a much better job surviving as a proper decentralized system than the web.

The light is visible, the flashing isn’t.

Woah, this would be huge if this works.

Though, I’m almost more excited about the idea of native task locals variables. I came real close to trying to add that to tokio myself.

The top white rectangle is a multi-color LED (presumably RGB). Can’t make out what’s in the bottom, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was some form of light sensor for (literally) flashing new information onto the tag.

As far as I’m aware something like that isn’t really possible.

• it would prevent one person from making multiple fake accounts

How do you define ‘a person’ and how do you ensure that they only have one account? Short of government control of accounts, I don’t think you can really guarantee this and even then there’s still fraud that gets past the current government systems.

Then, how do you verify that the review is coming from the person that the account is for?

IMO, we’d all be better off going back to smaller scale social interactions, think ‘social media towns’ you trust a smaller number of people and over time develop trust in some. Then you can scale this out to more people than you can directly know with some sort of web-of-trust model. You know you trust Alice, and you know Alice trusts Bob, so therefore you can trust Bob, but not necessarily quite as much as you trust Alice. Then you have this web of trust relationships that decay a bit with each hop away from you.

It’s a rather thorny problem to solve especially since for that to work optimally you’d want to know how much Alice trusts bob, but that amounts to everyone documenting how much they trust each of their friends, which seems socially… well… difficult.

Though the rest is actually easy™:

• reviews wouldn’t be suppressed or promoted by paid algorithms
• the algorithm WOULD help connect people to items they are interested in. But maybe the workings of it would be open source, so it can be audited for bad acting.

You do what the fediverse does, you have all the information available to everyone, then you run your own ‘algorithm’ that you wrote/audited/trust. The hard part is getting others to give away access to all ‘their’ data.

Update the controller firmware.

I’ve got the “Xbox Wireless Controller”, the one that has a little bit of a grippy texture on the handles & the ‘d-pad on a circle’ d-pad. And I was seeing the same thing before updating the FW ~a year (maybe even two?) ago.

Unfortunately, doing that requires a Windows PC or an Xbox.

Yeah I had the exact same thought - “huh, transparent case and charging led” - but I hear they’re going to come out with an update to adjust the intensity of it, so that may help that.

Oh, nice. I’m also wondering if I can’t paint part of the light pipe so it doesn’t shine outward (as much?). Or print some sort of replacement with opaque sides. We’ll see if I ever decide I’m bothered enough by it to actually do that.

I also upgraded from OG 512 - personally love the OLED so far. Screen is really nice, battery life will be great to have on my business trips, and the clickiness of the Steam and … buttons is a definite improvement. Do you need any of these things? No… but they are really nice things.

Yep, totally agreed. Though, I finally started one of my 4 HDR games (Death Stranding) and if I knew it was going to make this much difference, I might have been clamoring for it sooner. Though, I don’t know if DS is hamming it up/designed more for HDR at the expense of the quality without it.

I upgraded to an OLED from an OG 512. I definitely don’t think it was a “must have” upgrade, but I was never really bothered by the LCD.

The only thing I have approaching a complaint, which is more of a “huh I didn’t actually think about that”, is that on the LE the charging LED shows through the transparent case from the front. I think I can probably come up with some way to fix that (or at least make it much dimmer from the front).

Got my LE just after noon yesterday in Minneapolis with an order that went through @ 29 minutes.

Absolutely loving it so far. It might be all in my head but I swear it feels noticeably lighter and it’s definitely way quieter, but I never did figure out if my OG deck had the loud or quiet fan.

Update: Delivered! Now just to “patiently” wait for it to warm up before I can turn it on…
