This is the first time I see a compelling argument for using dynamic languages for writing web backends. Not that I actually write web backends, so maybe this is all obvious to real practicioners. Thanks for sharing!


Is Immich good at finding duplicates? And generally cleaning up a dump of photos? Or am I better off using Digikam for that before importing to Immich?


It has pretty good duplicate detection in my experience.


The embedded duplicate detector is not bad, and there’s a third party one that relies on Immich api that is even better.


You can't say that and not link!


Czkwaka is another good tool for finding duplicate photos


How about writing new things at the top of the file? If you use dates as sections you can still add new things at the bottom of the current day, but you always have current day at top.


please do share how you do it :)


Add this to your UserChrome.css for the FireFox profile you use.

      @namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul");
      #TabsToolbar {
          visibility: collapse !important;
      }

      #sidebar-box {
        --bar-width: 40px;
        position: relative !important;
        overflow-x: hidden !important;
        /\* margin-right: calc(10px \* -1) !important; */
        /* left: var(--bar-width) !important; */
        min-width: var(--bar-width) !important;
        max-width: var(--bar-width) !important;
        border-right: 1px solid var(--sidebar-border-color);
        z-index: 3;
        transition: all 0.1s;
     }

     #sidebar-box:hover {
        --expanded-width: 250px;
        margin-right: calc(
           calc(var(--expanded-width) - var(--bar-width)) * -1
  ) !important;
        /\* left: var(--expanded-width) !important; */
        min-width: var(--expanded-width) !important;
        max-width: var(--expanded-width) !important;
     }

     #sidebar-box:hover #sidebar-header {
        min-width: var(--expanded-width) !important;
        max-width: var(--expanded-width) !important;
     }

    /* #sidebar-header is hidden by default, change "none" 
to "inherit" to restore it. / #sidebar-header { min-width: var(--bar-width) !important; max-width: var(--bar-width) !important; overflow: hidden !important; }

    /* #sidebar-splitter styles the divider between the 
    sidebar and the rest of the browser. \*/
    #sidebar-splitter {
       display: none;
    }
You might have to create that file in a Chrome folder in your profile folder if it doesnt exist. i.e.:

       .mozilla/firefox/<your-profile-folder>/chrome/userChrome.css

you can find the right folder by going to about:support in the url bar and clicking on Open Directory in the page that shows in the Application Basics grid. This works for me on Ubuntu on FF 137.0.2


That’s a good point. I do think there still is some space to focus on just the coding as an engineer, but with AI the space is getting smaller.


this article precisely captures what i have been thinking recently. it’s really demotivating me.


Sounds about right, but consider also that music, painting, sculpture, theatre are all simultaneously (1) hobbies requiring great skill to master and which people dervive much joy from, and (2) are experiences that can be bought for a pittance as a download, a "print your own {thing}" shop, 3D printing etc., or YouTube.

The bathwater of economics will surely dirty, but you don't need to throw out the baby of hobbies with it.


As a candidate, this sort of test gives me the worst possible impression of the company.

- 0 effort on your side - very stressful for me - completely unrelated to job - ridiculous definition of someone being “smart”

Actually, I would not even do the test most likely and I bet many others neither.


> Actually, I would not even do the test most likely and I bet many others neither.

Unpopular observation: Many people say this, but when they actually want or need a job they change their mind quickly.

I've lost count of how many of my peers went from "I will never grind LeetCode!" to working their way through LeetCode challenge lists as soon as a recruiter from a big tech company contacted them.

I talked to one hiring manager at a company who tested their mobile developer applicants by having them make an entire demo app with some non-trivial functionality. I assumed they wouldn't have any applicants, but his current problem was that too many qualified applicants were applying for every position and begging to do the test.


Seriously. I’m interviewing as a programmer and you give me some ridiculous “which cube is next in the sequence” nonsense that probably has three different arguably correct answers for every question? Pass.


We have to use some criteria when all applicants are effectively the same - 4000 applicants and 6 interviewers. We interview each applicant at least 3 times.

Definition of being smart is to be quick at mental math and logic, but the puzzles are represented visually. And yes, both those skills are needed in the course of our work.

Contrary to what you might expect, over 80% take the test. I suppose during next hiring season, we could A/B against random selection to compare what % go past our interview.


> Definition of being smart is to be quick at mental math and logic

That's not smart. That's being quick at mental math and logic.

Very different things


The iOS app looks great! I like that you also have a Linux app. Going to evaluate Ente over the next week by using it on those 2 platforms.

The pricing seems very reasonable as well and the free tier is good enough for me to give this a serious try.


Thanks!

Please note that the initial import from an iPhone might take a while due to Apple's restrictions on background tasks: https://help.ente.io/photos/features/background#ios

Subsequent backups for newer photos will happen seamlessly.


thanks for sharing! qemu is very powerful, but it’s hard to discocer a lot of these features


Official standard defines around 8k characters in modern usage. I’d guesstimate native highly educated speaker recognizes maybe 6-7k at most.
