Apple purports to still have this, but it is indeed less reliable than Dark Sky.
However, the author of Carrot for iOS implemented his own flavor of this* and it's remarkably decent.
* According to Gruber interview around the same time Carrot introduced an entire Broadway musical about the conflict between the Carrot AI and her Maker (the dev). Which, while made with AI, is rather more listenable than the typical weather app.
If you mean minute-accurate forecast for the next 4-6 years... That's called Nowcasting, and yes, it exists. Bing Weather have it, ACCU Weather as well. Rain viewer too. I believe Google already implemented on Pixel Weather at least.
IMO the best of these are Bing Weather and Rain Viewer, both provide rich maps showing where the rain it's going and all too. And how much.
My friend's kids would ride their bikes to school in the morning, and on rainy days, check Dark Sky to find the driest time window. It was usually quite accurate.
I can't post on HN without an account. How many people upload videos there? (Assuming that it is even possible for an average joe to upload porn there).
Just too small I think. It's neither hosted on a common forum software or worth targeting specifically. If you turn on `showdead` in your profile you can see the caught spam. It's usually pretty thin on the ground, and when it does it occur there's almost no diversity, suggesting just 1 bot source being interested in the site at a time.
Nobody else will tell you the truth: nobody will ever hire you as a software developer. You will never get past the filter.
I tried to enter the field at 35. I couldn’t get an interview with a CS degree. I did everything right. Good GPA. Portfolio. Professional resume help. Sent applications for two years and heard nothing. Now I’m 45 with nothing to show for it. All those late nights studying coding interview questions and I never got a chance to try.
The success stories you hear are people with friends or family members who get them through the door. Unless you know someone like this, give up now and don’t waste your time.
I have some doubts about your statements. If you can't get a job at FAANG or the major startups, sure - that makes absolute sense. Competition is crazy.
If you can't get a job at all, that makes no sense, and probably speaks more to the fact that you might be an academic parrot who can talk code, but not write code, as an actual software developer with practical abilities. And that goes more to your lack of practice, rather than lack of knowledge. The world is not to blame in that regard but you.
Alternatively, try different domains - your skills might work little wonder in the software world, but might move mountains in other (especially labour-intensive) domains.
An often forgotten field that's adjacent to programming but much easier to get into is network engineering. If you're smart enough to program then you're smart enough to to architect and configure a network. Salaries are comparable to programming jobs, and college degrees generally don't matter much.
Getting no offers in 2 years seems very possible (it's tough out there - every job seems to have dozens of applicants), but getting no interviews at all is rough.
I wonder if anyone on HN has experience working with a technical consulting or contracting agency. Are there good ones? How hard is it to get hired?
I'm sorry it didn't work out for you. Sometimes it's luck of the draw. It also depends a lot on which industry you're in (finance, gaming, etc.). As an extreme example, if you're any good at COBOL, you can probably get a job working on legacy systems regardless of your age. Gaming, probably not so much.
You may have more success getting smaller freelance jobs at first and building a reputation as a can-do developer, which might be easier to parlay into a full time job. But at the end of the day, connections are sometimes the most important factor, so I would encourage anyone in your shoes to work on not just their technical chops but also their people-meeting skills.
No, I'm saying getting a freelance job is often easier than getting a full-time job because the barrier to entry is lower: companies don't usually scrutinize freelancers with the same eye, especially for smaller jobs, since it's much easier to let a freelancer go if it doesn't work out. Also, freelancers are usually hired based on their ability to get the work done, not so much biased metrics like age and gender. Of course, every industry is different, but that has been my experience as a freelancer for several decades now.
Although in the case of the person I was replying to, apparently even getting an interview was impossible, so YMMV.
How would they know their age? I only list the last ~10 yoe on my resume. No one knows i’m in my 40s until they meet me in person, unless they are really good at guessing ages from fuzzy video calls.
Probably a good strategy. Though at the interview you could still get "not a cultural fit" or "overqualified" or "we are only hiring recent graduates" etc.
The problem is, in America, both magnets pull to the right. We have a far right republican party and a center right democratic party. There is no leftwing party to provide balance. There’s not a single democrat who would be considered a leftist outside America.
One magnet is the media, the other magnet is an orwellian party/media firm.
Also - this used to be hacker news. As in who gives a shit about what is, its about what needs to change.
Think of it this way - this is just a puzzle that needs to be cracked. Take it as a job application problem, and see how it can be dissected over the weekend.
Come up with some theories, then go see if you can disprove them.
Fixing anything, comes from defining the right problem anyway.
The parent was asking about political parties. In Vietnam, the leftist party runs the country. If "in charge of a politically stable, economically growing country for decades" doesn't meet the definitions of "successful or meaningful" in the context of a political party you're going to have to be more specific.
People who express this sentiment seem to consider "the world" to be composed of North America and Europe. Why do you ignore the conservatives of Africa, the Middle East, India, and Asia in your assessment of what "average" is?
Facebook has a long, bloody history of expanding their services into areas without investing in content moderation first. Sometimes they don’t have a single employee who can speak the language of their users. As a result, tens of thousands of people have died in genocide.
You can’t have community notes if you don’t already have a community established. Community notes won’t help if the community’s behavior is the problem.
Many people will die as a result of this decision.
There is built-in support for some reshade functionality in SteamOS's gamescope. But by how adamant you are, I'm sure you already knew about it, and it's shortcomings.
For others, the built in support is enough if you'd like to apply some retro shading "filters" to a game or two you play. I really enjoy this VHS effect for games like The Messenger and Slipstream https://github.com/safijari/Reshadeck/blob/main/defaults/sha...
