Ask HN: How do you tune your personality to get better at interviews?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-24 17:15:10

I just got declined for a job and it has gotten under my skin much more than it should. (Under the advisement of my lawyer (ChatGPT) I won't say the company's name). It has really annoyed me; I ended up doing three interviews over the course of four weeks, and I'm pretty confident that I got the technical questions right. It could be that my resume is too "jumpy", which is fair, but they could have read my resume before they wasted my time and theirs with three multi-hour interviews. The only

iPhone 17 Pro could redefine Apple’s Pro color strategy

9to5mac.com Zac Hall 2025-11-24 22:08:06

After two years of titanium iPhone Pro models and many more years of stainless steel, Apple is rumored to be switching to aluminum for the iPhone 17 Pro. Titanium, instead, will be used on the ultra thin iPhone 17 Air. That may seem like a step away from premium materials for the Pro model. For anyone bored by variations of gray for Apple’s best iPhones, however, it appears to be good news. The reason comes down to color. Apple has done a decent job making a range of colors out of stainless s

New Mac Pro could boast M4 Ultra chip, per report

Apple has long been rumored to have a new Mac Pro in development, and a new report suggests it will come with a more powerful chip than we’ve yet seen: the M4 Ultra. Earlier this year, Apple was expected to have two pro-focused hardware updates coming: a new Mac Studio and also the next-gen Mac Pro. The Mac Studio launched in March, but there’s been no update on a new Mac Pro since then. Now, a Macworld report indicates that’s because it will come with a brand new chip that’s still in develop
