@chrisbrunet @TempleUniv Dunno why the SOC code is database administrator and role is front end

Temple University (@TempleUniv) has filed a notice of intent to hire a Front End Software Engineer Salary: $68,123 No American front end engineer was qualified for this position.

Alex Xu's System Design Interview is the most recommended book in tech hiring. Volume 1: $39.99 on Amazon. Volume 2: $40.00 on Amazon. Both together: $79.99. Thousands of engineers have bought them. Millions have been told to buy them. Every tech interview prep list on the internet includes these two books. In December 2024, one engineer at AWS read both volumes cover to cover. His name is Gaurav Kumar. CS grad from USC. Day job at Amazon Web Services. He goes by liquidslr on GitHub. He took notes on every single chapter. Organized them by topic. Linked every section to the original research papers from Amazon, Google, and Discord. Then he pushed the whole thing to GitHub for free. Then he built a free website to read them on. He named it Pagefy. Every chapter. Every diagram concept. Every system. Free. Forever. Here is what is inside: → Chapter 1: Scale From Zero To Millions Of Users → Chapter 2: Back-of-the-Envelope Estimation → Chapter 3: A Framework For System Design Interviews → Chapter 4: Design A Rate Limiter → Chapter 5: Design Consistent Hashing → Chapter 6: Design A Key-Value Store → Chapter 7: Design A Unique ID Generator In Distributed Systems → Chapter 8: Design A URL Shortener → Chapter 9: Design A Web Crawler → Chapter 10: Design A Notification System → Chapter 11: Design A News Feed System → Chapter 12: Design A Chat System → Chapter 13: Design A Search Autocomplete System → Chapter 14: Design YouTube → Chapter 15: Design Google Drive → Chapter 16: Proximity Service And that is Volume 1. Volume 2 continues: → Nearby Friends → Google Maps → Distributed Message Queue → Metrics Monitoring and Alerting System → Ad Click Event Aggregation → Hotel Reservation System → Distributed Email Service → S3-like Object Storage → Real-Time Gaming Leaderboard → Payment System → Digital Wallet → Stock Exchange Here is why this matters: Every FAANG company asks system design questions. Google. Amazon. Meta. Microsoft. Apple. Netflix. Uber. Airbnb. Stripe. The median software engineer at these companies makes $226,000. Senior makes $312,000. Staff makes $457,000. The interview that stands between you and that salary is system design. The book that everyone says to read costs $79.99. The official video course on ByteByteGo costs $499 for lifetime or $189 a year. Hello Interview charges $279 lifetime. Educative charges $59 a month. These notes cover the same 28 chapters as the books. For $0. Not a summary. Not a cheatsheet. Structured notes with diagrams, key concepts, and source papers for every chapter of both volumes. Browse them as a website at pagefy.io. Search any topic. Jump to any chapter at 1 AM the night before the interview. 5,555 stars. 1,059 forks. One AWS engineer on his own time. One honest flag: there is no LICENSE file on the repo. These are study notes summarizing a copyrighted book. If you can afford $79.99, buy the books. Alex Xu deserves the royalty. These notes are for the night before, when you already read the book and forgot half of it. One engineer. Two books. Twenty eight chapters. Free on GitHub. The book teaches you the answers. This repo helps you remember them.

Finally understood why ray used to say about diabetes and how sugar counters it. All the advice in the video is just plain wrong

-Move like you’re him -Talk like you’re him -Walk like you’re him -Cause you’re him Believe bruh.

DELETE THESE FROM YOUR LIFE BEFORE JUNE. No explanation needed. Just do it

This whole situation has shown that Indians are thoroughly cooked. Homie can’t even get ràpêď (allegedly) without everyone assuming he’s trying to scam someone. Americans associate Indians with call center scams, crypto ruggers, H1-B chain immigration at 7-11, low-quality customer support, insurance scammers, slimy landlords, and freeloaders, because that’s your most likely exposure to Indians. This stereotype was earned. India as a nation must crack down hard on scams. India must become a bastion of good order and discipline. India should be known for proficient doctors, good agriculture, baller movies, and hard work. Instead, India is known for being a nation of DO NOT REDEEEEM! This cannot change until Indians take the lead and stop each other from getting involved in that nonsense. Indians need to hold each other accountable, and that starts with the call center scams. @narendramodi step up. Until then, jeets are cooked, and it’s a shame.

🚨 WOW. Somali "childcare worker" in California erupts in PANIC MODE, yells in Somali at Nick Shirley Shirley says he is just following California state data, and they ALL happen to be Somali "You a TROUBLED MAN!! Let me call 911" SHIRLEY: "We just want to know where the children are." "It says there's 14 children enrolled here." *DOOR SLAMS SHUT* It's fraud. They make it obvious. And Newsom's California lets it run RAMPANT!

My life got better when I started thinking in energy instead of time. I stopped making decisions a few hours before bed, and a lot of bad habits disappeared, junk food, impulse buys, and messages I shouldn’t have sent. You may have time but not energy lindynewsletter.beehiiv.com/p/on-energy

This group of French researchers (Sur le champ) trained about 200 re-enactors to test the crowd dynamics of hoplite warfare and routing more generally. It's really interesting how the often frustratingly vague statements of ancient writers become clear with this footage

We've just open sourced ORAL Semaglutide, Retatrutide and the whole metabolic class. Big pharma can no longer patent and exclusively profit from this approach, and these drugs will be much cheaper when produced. I don't want any money, I just want less fat people.

No state tax dollars should be going to companies that hire foreign workers over Americans. In any state.

Quick update on the H-1B state contractor analysis and a preview from a small subset of parsed HHSC Contracts. The most interesting finding (to me) so far: A single H-1B dependent contractor received payment for $10,460,376.99 in staffing contracts from the state of Texas since Greg Abbott has been in office. In only 12 days of April 2026, they've netted $309,113. They also received over $2.7M in forgiven PPP loans and approval for at least 35 H-1B workers. The images below are just a snapshot of recent HHSC state contracts for IT Staffing Augmentation - only one job has a billable rate below $90 an hour. Also of note - most of the "workers" names I've searched list different employers on LinkedIn than the contractor reporting them as the assigned worker. It almost makes you think that many of these people are either not actually working on these contracts or they can't say they are because their H-1B visa was sponsored by a different employer. However, some also show a location in India - so who knows... @GregAbbott_TX how much more of this do you need to see?

Narendra Modi owes his Prime Ministership to Asha Bhosale! She gave birth to Varsha Bhosale (d. 2012), whose Rediff columns during & after Gujarat riots created the template for Modi's image makeover & success. Read this from 2002. She was the original online Sanghi.

A full MIT course on visual autonomous navigation. If you work on robotics, drones, or self-driving systems, this one is worth bookmarking‼️ MIT’s Visual Navigation for Autonomous Vehicles course covers the full perception-to-control stack, not just isolated algorithms. What it focuses on: • 2D and 3D vision for navigation • Visual and visual-inertial odometry for state estimation • Place recognition and SLAM for localization and mapping • Trajectory optimization for motion planning • Learning-based perception in geometric settings All material is available publicly, including slides and notes. 📍vnav.mit.edu If you know other solid resources on vision-based autonomy, feel free to share them. —— Weekly robotics and AI insights.

If you gave away $126 billion to subsidize free flights between LA and San Francisco at current demand levels, you could fund roughly 150 to 200 years of travel before the money runs out.
