Cool job. Wish I was an EU citizen.

Atleast you got a response; I have applied thrice over here, but they never bothered to even send an automated rejection.

I hope you realize that you post a non-working link to the careers* page EVERY month.

This looks so suspicious. Why does the application link redirect to a random website and not to the company's careers page?
Re:Ask HN: Who is hiring? (April 2026) on Friday April 10, 2026 @02:42AM (#47714404)
I'm in a similar position. Hiring seems dead at the moment, literally nothing works.

I've been seeing this post since September last year. Are you even hiring? I've applied multiple times but never received any response, not even an automated rejection. I have a feeling this is just a bot post.

I see most roles on your careers page demand 5+ YoE with a particular technology. Do you hire any freshers or recent grads (0-2 YoE)?

Any idea how did the creator manage to get access to the fonts in the first place? Won't you need a Google Docs document which uses the given font and then copy it from there and put it up on the website? Or is there some way the creator could have put these fonts on his website from publicly available information?

All of these roles on greenhouse mention the location as Remote (North America). Does this mean that candidates outside North America will not be considered?

I don't like that I need to record a video explaining why I would like to work at Tether to apply :(

Ah okay that's unfortunate!

Hey, I still cannot create an Apple account to apply for the job. Is there any way I can reach you directly or get a referral, since the regular process doesn't work for me.
Re:Ask HN: Who is hiring? (March 2026) on Tuesday March 03, 2026 @05:12AM (#47230444)
This is weird but I am required to create an Apple account to apply for this job. And I cannot create an Apple account, I just end up at an unhelpful page which says that this task cannot be done at the moment. I've tried tons of alternatives, but nada. It seems like the only way to 'recover' my account (I don't wanna recover!) is to do so from an Apple device, which I don't own!
Re:The Missing Semester of Your CS Education on Tuesday February 24, 2026 @06:50AM (#47135949)
Not an entire semester, but I'm really glad my uni had a semester long core CS course on exactly this. Still one of the most useful courses I've ever taken, I refer my notes from that class even now.
I am curious how the author of the GitHub gist managed to figure all this out. Any ideas?
Ask HN: How does a young recent graduate deal with this speed of progress :-/

FOSS used to be one of the best ways to get experience working on large-scale real world projects (cause no one's hiring in 2026) but with this, I wonder how long FOSS will have opportunities for new contributors to contribute.

Re:Kanchipuram Saris and Thinking Machines on Thursday February 12, 2026 @01:30AM (#46985474)
The sad part? This is just one piece of heritage among countless which have already been lost or haven't got a voice to save them. Just like Kancheepuram, nearly every district has a rich heritage in cuisine and fabric which is hundreds of years old. A lot of it was just lost to history because it became commercially nonviable to preserve and so much of it is disappearing in front of our eyes while we do nothing :(

One can use AI to lead you to better sources. The issue I face is, whenever I search something I want to understand in a search engine, the first 10 links are always low-quality SEO links, or surface level AI generated tutorials. There is a treasure of high-quality blogs, books, interactive tutorials out there which don't show up when you search for it. For example, if you wanted to learn socket programming, you'd be better off following Beej's guide to socket programming instead of 100 g4g pages. Similarly, for Bash, you'd actually understand how every word you write works instead of just memorizing 20 commands if you followed TLDP's book or lhunath's guide. How do you find these resources? Use Perplexity or Reddit's AI to search for high-quality resources.

I guess that's modern yt. At least it's not an AI slop channel.

Re:Ask HN: What did you read in 2025? on Tuesday December 30, 2025 @04:38AM (#46431336)
I wanted to challenge myself in 2025 and alternate between fiction and non-fiction, so here are my highlights

- Crime and Punishment - Homo Deus - Catch 22 - Flash Boys - The Art of Strategy - Moby Dick (could only get halfway through though :() - The Great Gatsby - How to be Alone (couldn't get past 2 chapters)

I get this error anytime I search anything.

  Error loading search results. Please try again.

Ask HN: Why is savannah.gnu.org down so much and what are the alternatives?

I'm trying to get my hands on some of the source code for GNU SW. I really need to access the ORIGINAL source code uploaded on GNU and not one of the mirrors available on GitHub. It seems like savannah is the only place where version-controlled source code is hosted but I cannot access it at all; I've tried several times over the past few days. Is this some IP issue or is the website down that...
