Got to love those "recruiter" emails. Today's favorite?

"Hey, Emilly. We've seen your resume, and we're really impressed with it. A bachelor's and a masters in Computer Science? 20+ years as a dev? I think you'll be excited at the opportunity to take a 70% paycut - - maybe more! - -and join our team as an independent contractor in an entry level customer service role! You can work from home in those totally legit job!"

I think the dead internet has eaten the whole online job hunting and application process. It's bots AI tailoring resumes to ghost jobs posted by company bots to collect resumes against some future need, which is all filtered by automatic screens built by more bots against vague requirements written by overworked folks due to random management demands.

I really wish my professional network wasn't so weirdly tilted towards chemical engineers and materials engineers.

Fucking BANGER of an opener in @pluralistic 's latest newsletter:

The Secret IRS Files revealed the fact that many of America's oligarchs pay no tax at all. Some of them even get subsidies intended for poor families, like Jeff Bezos, whose tax affairs are so scammy that he was able to claim to be among the working poor and receive a federal Child Tax Credit, a $4,000 gift from the American public to one of the richest men who ever lived

The Secret IRS Files: Trove of Never-Before-Seen Records Reveal How the Wealthiest Avoid Income Tax

ProPublica has obtained a vast cache of IRS information showing how billionaires like Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk and Warren Buffett pay little in income tax compared to their massive wealth — sometimes, even nothing.

I've heard people wonder "as a developer, will AI kill my job?"
I think there is a definitely non-zero chance that it might...

But not because an LLM is going to write all the code, better, faster and cheaper, no. Because, when this bubble finally pops and tech companies are left with nothing but piles of out-dated GPUs and plummeting stock prices, they'll "fix" the problem the only way they know: by firing 30% of their workforce!

Encore un petit effort à faire sur l'accessibilité de ces fontaines, celles en gare SNCF sont souvent dans des recoins et avec un design moderne, trop moderne peut-être, où on pourrait les confondre avec la moindre borne ou poteau signalétique.

Is there a good portable asynchronous filesystem access crate for Rust yet? (I'm aware of a number of crates that use blocking filesystem operations from threads, and that's not at all what I mean. I want to issue large numbers of requests from few threads so the I/O scheduler can sort them out.)

(Thanks, POSIX, for assuming that disks are infinitely fast. 🙄)

I've been using @Tutanota for a few years now and have been very happy with how they've grown. #Encryption for the common person in a simple no-nonsense platform is cool to see. Would love to see them continue to innovate with #privacy in mind like they have so far.
