The result of that flash poll I did the other day, Riv wound up winning so here he is!

Random OC lore below for anyone interested.

Riv is the oldest of the aur, a species unintentionally formed from the energetic aftershocks of the creation of his planet. Because there was only so much of that energy to go around, there are a limited number of "souls" available for their species, and thus the aur have a static population. Although functionally immortal, they do lose neuroelasticity over time, which eventually makes living pretty unpleasant, so they inevitably opt to pass away and allow a new member of the species to be born.

Several thousand years ago, Riv contracted a particularly dangerous magical condition that left him discolored—he used to be a very pale apricot color and his hair was opalescent white—and with chronic pain, but also keeps him from losing neuroelasticity, allowing him to live basically forever without experiencing the ennui that is the literal death of the rest of his species.

Travelers of other species who came across the aur in ancient times wound up essentially engaging in a millennia-long game of telephone that led to a gross misunderstanding of what they actually looked like, which is where the concept of unicorns comes from. When the aur finally went public as a species to get people to stop killing each other, everyone was very surprised to find that they look nothing like horses or deer. (Although they do have hooves, which is what led to the mistranslation that brought about that misconception in the first place.)

One phrase encapsulates the methodology of nonfiction master Robert Caro: Turn Every Page. The phrase is so associated with Caro that it’s the name of the recent documentary about him and of an exhibit of his archives at the New York Historical Society. To Caro it is imperative to put eyes on every line of every document relating to his subject, no matter how mind-numbing or inconvenient. He has learned that something that seems trivial can unlock a whole new understanding of an event, provide a path to an unknown source, or unravel a mystery of who was responsible for a crisis or an accomplishment. Over his career he has pored over literally millions of pages of documents: reports, transcripts, articles, legal briefs, letters (45 million in the LBJ Presidential Library alone!). Some seemed deadly dull, repetitive, or irrelevant. No matter—he’d plow through, paying full attention. Caro’s relentless page-turning has made his work iconic.

In the age of AI, however, there’s a new motto: There’s no need to turn pages at all! Not even the transcripts of your interviews. Oh, and you don’t have to pay attention at meetings, or even attend them. Nor do you need to read your mail or your colleagues’ memos. Just feed the raw material into a large language model and in an instant you’ll have a summary to scan. With OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini, and Anthropic’s Claude as our wingmen, summary reading is what now qualifies as preparedness.

LLMs love to summarize, or at least that’s what their creators set them about doing. Google now “auto-summarizes” your documents so you can “quickly parse the information that matters and prioritize where to focus.” AI will even summarize unread conversations in Google Chat! With Microsoft Copilot, if you so much as hover your cursor over an Excel spreadsheet, PDF, Word doc, or PowerPoint presentation, you’ll get it boiled down. That’s right—even the condensed bullet points of a slide deck can be cut down to the … more essential stuff? Meta also now summarizes the comments on popular posts. Zoom summarizes meetings and churns out a cheat sheet in real time. Transcription services like Otter now put summaries front and center, and the transcription itself in another tab.

Why the orgy of summarizing? At a time when we’re only beginning to figure out how to get value from LLMs, summaries are one of the most straightforward and immediately useful features available. Of course, they can contain errors or miss important points. Noted. The more serious risk is that relying too much on summaries will make us dumber.

Summaries, after all, are sketchy maps and not the territory itself. I’m reminded of the Woody Allen joke where he zipped through War and Peace in 20 minutes and concluded, “It’s about Russia.” I’m not saying that AI summaries are that vague. In fact, the reason they’re dangerous is that they’re good enough. They allow you to fake it, to proceed with some understanding of the subject. Just not a deep one.

As an example, let’s take AI-generated summaries of voice recordings, like what Otter does. As a journalist, I know that you lose something when you don’t do your own transcriptions. It’s incredibly time-consuming. But in the process you really know what your subject is saying, and not saying. You almost always find something you missed. A very close reading of a transcript might allow you to recover some of that. Having everything summarized, though, tempts you to look at only the passages of immediate interest—at the expense of unearthing treasures buried in the text.

Successful leaders have known all along the danger of such shortcuts. That’s why Jeff Bezos, when he was CEO of Amazon, banned PowerPoint from his meetings. He famously demanded that his underlings produce a meticulous memo that came to be known as a “6-pager.” Writing the 6-pager forced managers to think hard about what they were proposing, with every word critical to executing, or dooming, their pitch. The first part of a Bezos meeting is conducted in silence as everyone turns all 6 pages of the document. No summarizing allowed!

To be fair, I can entertain a counterargument to my discomfort with summaries. With no effort whatsoever, an LLM does read every page. So if you want to go beyond the summary, and you give it the proper prompts, an LLM can quickly locate the most obscure facts. Maybe one day these models will be sufficiently skilled to actually identify and surface those gems, customized to what you’re looking for. If that happens, though, we’d be even more reliant on them, and our own abilities might atrophy.

Long-term, summary mania might lead to an erosion of writing itself. If you know that no one will be reading the actual text of your emails, your documents, or your reports, why bother to take the time to dig up details that make compelling reading, or craft the prose to show your wit? You may as well outsource your writing to AI, which doesn’t mind at all if you ask it to churn out 100-page reports. No one will complain, because they’ll be using their own AI to condense the report to a bunch of bullet points. If all that happens, the collective work product of a civilization will have the quality of a third-generation Xerox.

As for Robert Caro, he’s years past his deadline on the fifth volume of his epic LBJ saga. If LLMs had been around when he began telling the president’s story almost 50 years ago—and he had actually used them and not turned so many pages—the whole cycle probably would have been long completed. But not nearly as great.

ChoiceScript Savepoint System Very Quickly

Hey guys,

@hpowellsmith made a great template for save points! It requires you to create another variable for every variable you have in your ChoiceScript game, so that it can store the old values to essentially "save"! This won't rely on third-party saving systems but is rather hard-coded into the game itself.

I realize that it can be a daunting task to create a whole other set of variables, especially if you already have many, many of them. (Looking at TSS' code, there are thousands!)

But I propose two super quick ways to automatically create all the variables you need for save points.

Find and replace.

Copy all your *create variables

Paste it into a Google Docs

On, PC, Ctrl+H to open up the dialog box for Find and Replace (link on how to find and replace on different platforms)

Search for "*create " (space included at the end) and replace it with *create save_

Hit "Replace All" and there you have your duplicated variables to paste into your startup (do so without replacing any of your old variables).

Bonus: you can instead replace it with *create save1_ , *create save2_ , etc. to have multiple save slots.

You can create all your needed variables in startup quickly with this, but there is still the issue of having to *set the variables to the new variables (when you're saving) or vice versa (when loading).

Hence the other way:

Save System Generator

I also made a program where, if you copy and paste all of your *create variables, it will automatically:

Give you code to put in your startup (the duplicated save variables)

Give you code that you use to save.

Give you code that you use to load.

I recommend you do it the way Hannah PS does in their template by calling a *gosub_scene.

Here are the step by step instructions on how to do this:

1. Prepare your *create variables. To clarify, you will only put in *create stuff into the program. Copy from your very first *create to your very last *create (the variables you want to save at least). Do not add any comments or additional code that is NOT *create. Do not have any additional spaces at the end (line breaks in between *create should be fine, but be more aware for potential errors).

2. Create a .txt file. In Hannah's template, the file is called "savegame.txt". You will want to make a *label save and a *label load that each *return (as depicted above).

3. Load up the program. Here is the link.

4. Pasting in your code. Paste in your code and immediately after your last *create, press enter, press $, and press enter again.

Note 1: You cannot use Ctrl+V or shortcut keys to paste in the code. You have to right click and paste it. Do not do this on mobile.

Note 2: You might want to do this in segments, as the program might have difficulty parsing through it, and you will more easily find errors in case they happen. Maybe every 30-50 variables to keep them bite-sized. I've tested inputting up to 70 unique variables to success.

5. Startup variables. After reading your input, it will give you code that you then have to add to your startup. Copy it by highlighting and right-clicking on it (do not use shortcut keys or do this on mobile).

6. Save. If you press S and enter, it will give you the code that you need to put in your savegame.txt under your *label save .

7, Load. If you press L and enter, it will give you the code you need to put in your savegame.txt under your *label load .

8. Using it. As in the template, you'll want to call on this with a *gosub_scene savegame load (if you want to load) or *gosub_scene savegame save (if you want to save).

And that's it! Please let me know if the program works incorrectly! 💕💕

Psychosis is not a mark of intellect.

Psychopathic people mistake the ability to manipulate other people and exploit their emotions to be a mark of intelligence. They have a belief in their own superiority and flatter themselves with the idea that because they can break the rules of how feelings work, trick people into thinking they're emotionally neuro typical only to deceive them for their own ends, it makes them a smarter, more mature person.

That's not how intelligence works. People like this aren't smarter, they're broken. Just as the ability to lie and disrupt communications doesn't make you more intelligent, it makes you a violent predator. Just using a different means to exploit, trap and deprive your prey. And when it's your own family or species, that's just virtually cannibalism.

Exploiting somebody's trust is not a mark of intelligence, it's a mark of someone that does not have those inhibitions natural in a functioning brain. The willingness to suspend them for selfish reasons is not something to praise. And that's kind of why you have all these disgusting assholes calling themselves empaths or "dark empaths." You aren't some gifted genius, you're a monster. And because of people like yours predations, others have to learn to reign in their emotions in disbelief you could act like this, just to deal with you.

It's easy as pie to deceive and manipulate people that trust you or think you also share those healthy social and emotional inhibitions. The same ones that go off like error messages in your brain if you kill someone. Those same ones that make you sleepless if you unknowingly engage in cannibalism- even if it's necessary to survive. You can rationalize it all you want, but objectively speaking, we're animals. We're hard wired for certain things, and to not do certain things. People not missing these essential things have to cultivate violating them in order to condition themselves to continue doing them. It's not a mark of supremacy or cleverness to exploit another person by deception or manipulation. It comes natural to people that are broken and willing to engage in that sort of behavior.

Often I've come across people that thought they were superior for their willingness to exploit someone else. That being able to extract something from another and get away with it was proof of their supremacy, or at least, that of another's inferiority. If you confront them and tell them you know they're being dishonest and deceptive, their brains interpret that as, "Hey! You took advantage of how I'm too dumb to comprehend what you did!" And take it as a compliment. The inexperienced person confronting the deceiver expects the person receiving this to come clean or acknowledge they did wrong and panic because they've been caught. But that's not how a person built like this reacts, unless it's also another form of manipulation.

I'm lucky enough that as a child I had a firsthand experience with a peer like this that was a rowdy little boy. Because it meant, not only did I get the hard, cold life lessons of what dealing with a manipulative psychopath meant pushed on me, and the time to parse it out, it also meant I got to beat his fucking ass for being a manipulative and violent shit. So badly, he screamed hysterically for his mother. And then I never saw his disgusting, psychotic self again.

New Android Malware SoumniBot Employs Innovative Obfuscation Tactics

Banking Trojan Targets Korean Users by Manipulating Android Manifest

A sophisticated new Android malware, dubbed SoumniBot, is making waves for its ingenious obfuscation techniques that exploit vulnerabilities in how Android apps interpret the crucial Android manifest file. Unlike typical malware droppers, SoumniBot's stealthy approach allows it to camouflage its malicious intent and evade detection. Exploiting Android Manifest Weaknesses According to researchers at Kaspersky, SoumniBot's evasion strategy revolves around manipulating the Android manifest, a core component within every Android application package. The malware developers have identified and exploited vulnerabilities in the manifest extraction and parsing procedure, enabling them to obscure the true nature of the malware. SoumniBot employs several techniques to obfuscate its presence and thwart analysis, including: - Invalid Compression Method Value: By manipulating the compression method value within the AndroidManifest.xml entry, SoumniBot tricks the parser into recognizing data as uncompressed, allowing the malware to evade detection during installation. - Invalid Manifest Size: SoumniBot manipulates the size declaration of the AndroidManifest.xml entry, causing overlay within the unpacked manifest. This tactic enables the malware to bypass strict parsers without triggering errors. - Long Namespace Names: Utilizing excessively long namespace strings within the manifest, SoumniBot renders the file unreadable for both humans and programs. The Android OS parser disregards these lengthy namespaces, facilitating the malware's stealthy operation.

Example of SoumniBot Long Namespace Names (Credits: Kaspersky) SoumniBot's Malicious Functionality Upon execution, SoumniBot requests configuration parameters from a hardcoded server, enabling it to function effectively. The malware then initiates a malicious service, conceals its icon to prevent removal, and begins uploading sensitive data from the victim's device to a designated server. Researchers have also highlighted SoumniBot's capability to search for and exfiltrate digital certificates used by Korean banks for online banking services. This feature allows threat actors to exploit banking credentials and conduct fraudulent transactions. Targeting Korean Banking Credentials SoumniBot locates relevant files containing digital certificates issued by Korean banks to their clients for authentication and authorization purposes. It copies the directory containing these digital certificates into a ZIP archive, which is then transmitted to the attacker-controlled server. Furthermore, SoumniBot subscribes to messages from a message queuing telemetry transport server (MQTT), an essential command-and-control infrastructure component. MQTT facilitates lightweight, efficient messaging between devices, helping the malware seamlessly receive commands from remote attackers. Some of SoumniBot's malicious commands include: - Sending information about the infected device, including phone number, carrier, and Trojan version - Transmitting the victim's SMS messages, contacts, accounts, photos, videos, and online banking digital certificates - Deleting contacts on the victim's device - Sending a list of installed apps - Adding new contacts on the device - Getting ringtone volume levels With its innovative obfuscation tactics and capability to target Korean banking credentials, SoumniBot poses a significant threat to South Korean Android users.

So something terrible happens which makes future Crowley go back to try to fix it and there's just 2 Crowleys running around in the present? Oh, and thanks for explaining!

Regarding not taking yourself seriously: I may not be entirely convinced by this particular theory - or any, yet - but I don't think time travel is completely out there or impossible either. Considering the way Adam resets things after the failed Apocalypse, the timeline clearly can be messed with, as can time itself, as Crowley repeatedly demonstrates. I saw the post you reblogged about the rugs and we are rapidly moving out of the territory of plausible deniability regarding the sheer number of bizarre continuity errors. Any one or two of them on their own, yes, but collectively?

If you do go looking back through the minisodes, Crowley's hair seems to go shorter-longer-shorter in Job and his sideburns look like they get quite a bit shorter in the crypt in the Resurrectionists. I didn't see anything in the Nazis minisode, but that doesn't meant nothing's there.

further ask:

hi anon!!!✨ first of all, im so sorry for not getting round to your asks until now!!!

re: first ask - mhm that's the half-baked idea, anyhow!!! and tbh 💀 im not completely convinced either but i like to entertain the possibility just out of Fun, so here we are!!!✨ oh god The Rugs - so the red one, that appears during the ball? okay sure i can accept that it is part of the Austen Aesthetic, and once the magic lifts it shifts back to the normal s2.

as for the s1 one... im torn. because i saw the amazing post where they hand-painted the mf sink tiles bc they would be in the background of a couple of shots, and wanted to at least be as close to the s1 ones as possible (GO crew honestly do the Mostest). and yeah okay, re: the difference between the s1 and s2 rugs, maybe it's that they thought 'well it's going to be on the floor most of the time and therefore out of shot' but. there are two shots that literally focus on it. as the focal point. so to my mind, they either literally couldn't find a like for like replacement (completely valid), or something Fishy is going on.

ive seen a couple of people remark on the flashbacks potentially being skewed because they're from aziraphale's perspective, but ive genuinely had the half-baked idea that the whole season is. there's so many in-story indicators, to my mind - biased red/yellow colour grading, the cartoony loch ness animation in ep3, and tbh the whole ball thing - and i do wonder if this whole rug sitch (as well as other Unexplained Things) might be chalked up to this very thing; that we are seeing s2 for the mostly part literally through aziraphale's eyes, and that what we see is a little... altered. magicked. as i said, half-baked idea, but there we are.

i did end up going through ACtO, and it's currently sat in my drafts at the moment because... well, idk what to make of it. the scenes where - by my estimation - he has the longer, more defined-curl wig, is every shot in job's house (three scenes, iirc), and so it might actually, if you consider that these scenes were likely filmed in alternative days to the other ACtO scene, a plain continuity/wig-availability issue. plus, when looking at the dialogue, all the scenes in some way link together (so i don't, essentially, think it can feasibly be the same time-travel theory). the only thing, i guess, that still remains valid is that we are seeing a recount of the events of ACtO as per aziraphale's retelling... but even then, there are plenty of scenes where they are very heavy in the crowley perspective (ie it doesn't feel like aziraphale is fudging anything), so this doesn't 100% feel like a true explanation either imo.

i do still need to look at the resurrectionists minisode though, so may well be able to parse some crackpot musing once ive done that!!!✨

[weareallfromearth]

I would also like to add regarding these tags: the sentiments about creative failure being indelible and cancelling out all your good work are not true and accurate to all or even most environments. There are a couple environments where they may feel true or where some bad actors may behave in a way where they become as good as true:

- in abusive relationships, including caregiver relationships you might experience early in life, you may have received the kinds of criticism that teach you never to try because failure cancels out success

- on the internet in extremely high visibility contexts - viral posts or for celebrities - some people will take it upon themselves to mock or cancel people just for making understandable errors, particularly where those errors can be parsed as a failure to care enough about the needs of everyone else on the damn planet everywhere, OR where those errors may involve having some trait that is mockable according to conventional societal standards of various flavours (eg “oh look this person screwed up while being non-normative in their social performance or gender or looks, we are shitty bullies so we’re gonna mock them”)

The vast majority of functional human beings do not agree that “if you draw a line wrong you’re a fraud and an impostor” or “you are your mistakes” or “everyone hates you forever”. These are beliefs that arise from a distorted world view, potentially arising from negative prior experiences but sometimes just arising from your brain fucking with you by way of anxiety disorder.

Running events in a way where there’s an error is a matter of scale. If you mess up something about the physical safety of an event and people are injured that may be a big deal, but if you undercater, or forget to invite someone, or your accessibility could use improvement, these are not indelible failures, they’re errors where we can learn iteratively.

If you give advice and you give incorrect advice, the scale of the error matters a lot, but often your prior training can help you heaps. If giving advice as a hobby or calling stresses you out enormously because of the potential risk to others, it’s ok to not prioritise that option. But there are low stakes areas where an error is just not a big deal, or where the advice you’re giving is a matter of taste.

In terms of combatting the belief that any failure is essentially terminal, cognitive strategies - the kind you might find in therapies like CBT or ACT - can be really helpful. Another thing that can help is low stakes practice - trying out failure in a controlled safe environment in small doses with people you trust, to give your brain and nervous system the experience of feeling, over and over again, that failure can be ok.

I think people get mixed up a lot about what is fun and what is rewarding. These are two very different kinds of pleasure. You need to be able to tell them apart because if you don't have a balanced diet of both then it will fuck you up, and I mean that in a "known cause of persistent clinical depression" kind of way.

Google reCAPTCHA Integration in Salesforce Visualforce Page using Apex

In the modern digital world, securing online forms from bots and spam is more important than ever. Whether you're capturing leads, handling contact requests, or managing user registrations through a Visualforce page in Salesforce, protecting your forms from automated submissions is essential. Google reCAPTCHA is a powerful tool that helps identify and block such unwanted activity.

This article explains how to integrate Google reCAPTCHA into a Salesforce Visualforce page and validate user submissions using Apex, without diving into code.

 What is Google reCAPTCHA?

Google reCAPTCHA is a free service by Google that protects websites from spam and abuse by verifying if a user is a human or a bot. It can be displayed as a simple checkbox, an invisible check, or a challenge-based interaction (like identifying traffic lights in images). It works on both the client-side (user's browser) and the server-side (your Apex controller).

 How Integration Works

Integrating reCAPTCHA in Salesforce involves a few simple steps:

Register Your Website: Go to the Google reCAPTCHA admin console and generate a site key and a secret key.

Add reCAPTCHA to Visualforce Page: The site key is used on the Visualforce page to show the reCAPTCHA widget.

Form Submission: When a user fills out the form and submits it, a token is generated by reCAPTCHA and passed along with the form data.

Server-Side Verification: The Apex controller receives the token and uses the secret key to verify the token by sending a request to Google’s reCAPTCHA API.

Response Handling: Based on the verification result from Google, the form is either accepted or rejected.

 Why Use Two Apex Classes?

To keep the integration clean and maintainable, the logic is split into two classes:

1. Visualforce Page Controller: This handles form inputs, manages user interactions, and calls the reCAPTCHA validation logic.

2. reCAPTCHA Service Class: This makes the callout to Google’s verification API, parses the response, and sends back a success or failure status.

This approach follows Salesforce best practices: separation of concerns, code reusability, and easy testing.

 Benefits of Using reCAPTCHA with Visualforce

Prevents spam: Stops bots from submitting fake entries.

Improves security: Ensures only real users can interact with your forms.

Better user experience: The invisible or checkbox method is smooth for users.

Easy integration: With just a small setup, your forms become much safer.

 Best Practices

Always store the secret key securely using Custom Metadata, Custom Settings, or Named Credentials.

Handle errors and timeouts gracefully in your Apex logic.

Use HTTP mocks in test classes for callout testing.

Log or monitor verification failures for auditing or debugging.

 Final Thoughts

Implementing Google reCAPTCHA in a Visualforce form using Apex is a smart way to secure your Salesforce application from bots and spam. It not only enhances the trustworthiness of your system but also ensures a smoother experience for real users.

By separating responsibilities between a controller and a helper class, you follow clean architecture principles that make your solution scalable and easier to maintain in the long run.

Streamlining Hiring for Small Businesses

In today’s competitive market, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) need every advantage they can get to attract and retain top talent. The recruitment process plays a pivotal role in shaping a company's workforce, and managing this process efficiently can often be the difference between success and missed opportunities. Especially for small business owners juggling multiple roles, optimizing hiring with the right tools can bring significant relief.

Small Business Recruitment

Small businesses often face unique challenges when it comes to recruitment. Limited budgets, smaller HR teams, and the need for fast hiring decisions can put pressure on employers to streamline their approach. Unlike large corporations, small businesses may not have the luxury of extended hiring timelines or broad brand recognition, making it essential to focus on strategic recruitment.

A key component of small business recruitment is defining job roles clearly and understanding exactly what kind of candidate the business needs. In smaller teams, every new hire has a noticeable impact, so there is little room for error. Precise job descriptions not only help attract the right candidates but also deter those who may not be a good fit, saving time for both the employer and the applicant.

Leveraging technology is another essential strategy. Digital platforms and recruitment software help small businesses post jobs to multiple boards, screen applications quickly, and manage communications with applicants in a professional manner. This technological shift has leveled the playing field, allowing smaller companies to compete with larger firms in attracting skilled talent.

ATS for Small Business

After posting a job and receiving applications, the next challenge is managing the flow of information effectively. For small teams, the hiring process can quickly become overwhelming. This is where an ats for small business steps in as a crucial asset.

An Applicant Tracking System (ATS) automates and organizes many parts of the recruitment journey, helping small businesses track candidates from the moment they apply to the final decision. For businesses with limited HR resources, an ATS is not a luxury—it’s a necessity. It eliminates the chaos of spreadsheets, scattered emails, and manual follow-ups, offering instead a centralized dashboard for all hiring activities.

ATS platforms like Hirenga are designed with simplicity and efficiency in mind. They’re intuitive and require minimal training, which is ideal for small teams without dedicated HR departments. From resume parsing to automated emails and customizable pipelines, these tools help businesses save hours of manual work while maintaining a professional approach toward applicants.

Job Application Tracking

One often overlooked aspect of recruitment is the meticulous task of tracking job applications. When applications start pouring in, small businesses can find themselves drowning in resumes, losing track of promising candidates, or missing follow-up deadlines. This is why job application tracking is essential to any effective hiring strategy.

At its core, job application tracking involves maintaining an organized and up-to-date record of all applicants and where they are in the hiring process. It sounds simple, but doing it manually can be time-consuming and error-prone, especially when handling multiple roles or sudden spikes in applicants. Automation becomes a powerful ally here.

Tools like Hirenga simplify job application tracking by offering a visual representation of the hiring funnel. With drag-and-drop features and status updates, employers can instantly see which candidates are in the screening, interview, or offer stages. This clarity reduces back-and-forth within hiring teams and ensures timely communication with candidates.

Another key benefit of job application tracking is improved candidate experience. Applicants appreciate transparency and responsiveness. When their information is well-tracked, businesses can send timely updates, reducing the common frustration of being left in the dark. A positive candidate experience not only boosts the company’s reputation but also increases the chances of securing top talent.

Tumblr API

In the digital age, APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) have become crucial tools for developers, enabling them to build richer, more dynamic experiences by integrating and leveraging external services. One such API that has garnered attention is the Tumblr API, which allows developers to access the vast functionalities of Tumblr's microblogging platform to create custom applications and solutions. Tumblr, a platform known for its vibrant community and highly customizable blogs, offers an API that provides programmatic access to its features. This enables developers to read and write Tumblr data, including posts, likes, follows, and more. By using the Tumblr API, developers can automate processes or create entirely new applications that interact with Tumblr in innovative ways. The Tumblr API is RESTful, meaning it follows the representational state transfer architectural style. This makes it straightforward for developers to work with, as it uses standard HTTP methods like GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE. The responses from the API are returned in JSON format, which is lightweight and easy to parse in various programming languages. To start using the Tumblr API, a developer must first obtain credentials by registering their application with Tumblr. This process involves creating an app on the Tumblr website, which provides the necessary OAuth consumer key and secret needed for authentication. OAuth is a standard protocol for authorization that ensures secure access to server resources without exposing user credentials. Once authenticated, developers can make requests to the API to perform different actions. For example, they can fetch public information about a blog, retrieve posts by type (text, photo, quote, link, chat, audio, or video), or even post new content directly to a Tumblr blog programmatically. This opens up possibilities for apps that integrate features like live blogging events, managing multiple blogs simultaneously, or curating content automatically based on specific criteria. Moreover, the Tumblr API supports several useful endpoints. The `/user/info` endpoint retrieves information about the authenticated user, while `/blog/{blog-identifier}/info` gets information about a specific blog. There are also endpoints for retrieving or posting likes and follows, which can be particularly useful for social media analytics and engagement tools. One of the strengths of using the Tumblr API is its flexibility. Developers can build a wide range of applications, from simple scripts that automate daily tasks to complex systems that analyze and interact with Tumblr data in real-time. Additionally, since Tumblr hosts a diverse array of content and communities, applications built with the Tumblr API can cater to niche interests or broad audiences alike. However, working with any API comes with challenges. Rate limits are a common issue; these are restrictions on the number of requests that can be made to the API within a certain time frame. Exceeding these limits can result in temporary blocks or slower response times. Therefore, developers need to handle these limits gracefully in their applications by implementing proper error handling and possibly queuing requests. Security is another critical aspect when dealing with APIs. Since applications using the Tumblr API might handle sensitive user data, ensuring data privacy and security through encryption and secure storage practices is paramount. Furthermore, maintaining compliance with data protection regulations like GDPR is essential when operating in or targeting users from certain regions. In conclusion, the Tumblr API offers extensive capabilities for developers looking to harness the power of social blogging for their applications. Whether it's enhancing existing products with Tumblr integration or building specialized tools for tumblr users, the potential uses are as varied as they are exciting. As with any development project involving third-party services, success often hinges on understanding and navigating the technical requirements and limitations effectively. wordpress By embracing these technologies and adhering to best practices in software development and data security, developers can unlock new creative potentials and deliver exceptional value to users.

How to Beat ATS & Get Your Resume Seen | Maven Jobs

Have you ever sent out hundreds of job applications and heard… nothing? You’re not alone. Your resume might be stuck in a bottleneck known as the Applicant Tracking System (ATS). These systems are the first hurdle job seekers face when applying online, and more than 60% of resumes get rejected before they even land on a recruiter’s desk.

Stuck in the ATS black hole? MavenJobs helps job seekers bypass ATS filters and get direct interviews. Skip the struggle — Get Job Placement Help Now!

What is an ATS?

An Applicant Tracking System (ATS) is recruitment software companies use to streamline the hiring process. Essentially, it acts as a digital gatekeeper, scanning and filtering resumes to save hiring managers time when dealing with hundreds (or sometimes thousands) of applications.

Why Do Companies Use ATS?

ATS helps companies:

Save time by automating the initial screening process.

Organize applications for easy retrieval and comparisons.

Identify top candidates by ranking resumes based on specific criteria like keywords, skills, and qualifications.

With 75% and 98% of Fortune 500 companies using ATS, these systems have become a non-negotiable part of modern job applications.

The Problem for Job Seekers

For applicants, ATS can be a double-edged sword. While it ensures that companies can quickly zero in on qualified candidates, it often eliminates poorly formatted resumes or missing the “right” keywords. Even highly skilled candidates may get filtered out if their resumes aren’t optimized for ATS.

Section 1: Understanding How ATS Works

Before you can beat ATS, you need to understand how it operates. Here’s a breakdown:

How ATS Scans Resumes

ATS doesn’t just “read” resumes like a recruiter would. These systems:

Parse your resume into sections (e.g., experience, education, skills).

Scan for keywords that match the job description.

Rank your resume based on how well it fits the job posting.

Filter out resumes with formatting errors or missing key elements.

Common Reasons for ATS Rejection

Keyword Mismatch: Missing important job-specific or industry-relevant terms.

Unscannable Formatting: Using tables, graphics, or non-standard fonts that ATS can’t process.

Wrong File Format: Some systems fail to read PDFs properly; .DOCX is usually safer.

Gaps in Employment: Unexplained employment gaps can raise red flags.

Understanding these basics is essential to crafting a resume that gets through the system.

Section 2: How to Create an ATS-Friendly Resume

Now that you understand how ATS works, here’s how to craft a resume that gets noticed.

Choose the Right Resume Format

Do this: Use a reverse chronological format, first listing your most recent experiences.

Avoid this: Functional resumes that focus on skills but omit specific experiences. ATS often can’t process them effectively.

Use Proper ATS-Compatible Formatting

Stick to standard fonts like Arial, Calibri, or Times New Roman.

Save your file in .DOCX format unless the job posting specifies otherwise.

Keep a clean, simple layout. Avoid images, graphics, headers, or columns.

Optimize Your Resume with ATS Keywords

One of the best ways to beat ATS is by using the right keywords:

Extract keywords from the job description.

Incorporate these keywords naturally throughout your resume.

Use synonyms and variations like “SEO” and “Search Engine Optimization.”

Example

Instead of “Managed a team,” write, “Team Management | Led cross-functional teams to deliver $2M in revenue projects.”

Include the Right Resume Sections

A well-structured resume is ATS-friendly. Make sure to include:

Summary: Use 2–3 powerful sentences that include job-specific keywords.

Skills: Include a mix of hard skills (specific to the job) and soft skills.

Work Experience: Focus on quantifiable results (e.g., “Boosted sales by 20% in 6 months”).

Education: Include degrees, certifications, and any relevant training.

Avoid ATS Killers

Here’s what you should NEVER do:

Use graphics, photos, or icons.

Include fancy or non-standard fonts.

Add text in headers or footers (ATS can’t read them).

Leave unexplained gaps in your employment history.

Section 3: How to Test Your Resume Before Applying

Don’t risk submitting a resume that doesn’t pass ATS scrutiny. Here’s how to test its compatibility:

Use ATS Resume Checkers

Take advantage of free tools like:

Jobscan.co: Optimize your resume keywords for specific job descriptions.

Zety Resume Scanner: Offers recommendations for ATS-friendly formatting.

Resunate: Helps refine your resume based on ATS preferences.

Conduct a Plain Text Test

Copy-paste your resume into a plain text file like Notepad. If the formatting looks messy or unreadable, ATS will likely struggle to process it.

Use LinkedIn’s “Easy Apply” Feature

Some job applications on LinkedIn bypass ATS entirely, giving you another edge.

Section 4: Should You Use a Placement Agency for ATS Success?

Still struggling to get noticed? Consider working with a placement agency.

Benefits of Recruitment Agencies

Bypass ATS: Many agencies send resumes directly to hiring managers.

Expert Guidance: Agencies often rewrite your resume based on ATS algorithms.

Tailored Opportunities: They match your skills with the right job openings.

At MavenJobs, we help job seekers optimize resumes and connect directly with recruiters to fast-track the hiring process. Interested? Reach out to us for tailored support!

Maximize Your Chances of Landing an Interview

Creating an ATS-friendly resume doesn’t just help you get noticed; it’s a critical step in today’s competitive job market. By understanding how ATS works, optimizing your resume formatting and keywords, and testing your resume with ATS tools, you can significantly improve your chances of landing your dream job.
