Red Leader Tech | Various SW & HW Roles | Palo Alto, CA | Onsite Full-Time

Red Leader Tech is building a lidar sensor that offer 10x resolution and 2x the range over current products in development or on the market. We're leveraging advances in signals processing and the unique properties of light to offer a "1080p" 3D camera when other sensors have resolutions equivalent to the Gameboy Advance SP.

We’re an early stage venture-backed startup (team of 4) with significant technical traction (first prototype fully functional and gathering point clouds) and customer traction.
I’m personally hiring for two software roles and am highly interested if you have had experience with the following:
- Autonomy & perception stacks
- Working with 3D point cloud data
- Eigen
- ROS
- Real time operating systems

More information about us and our available roles here:

As an early employee we offer significant equity and competitive salaries.
Our interview process involves two phone screens and an onsite round.

Reach out to me with a brief intro and resume: eldrick (at) redleadertech.com
yes, that is precisely what happened
Absolutely. Furthermore - if you have the upper hand and can get away, then you are most likely committing a criminal offence by not doing so. The law doesn't recognise the idea that you have the right to lay into someone for being an asshole, or even for breaking your nose. If you can get away and don't, then you are at risk of prosecution.
Huh. This all feels a lot like people who ask designers or programmers to work for free in exchange for "thing that look good in your portfolio".
> But one night when working yet another 12 hour day late into the night, I was short one article... Instead of picking up one of the multitude of books sent to me and typing it, I got lazy and went to the www and "found" something. Bleary-eyed I didnt notice it was copy written and reordered some of it. I did keep the author's name on it rather than outright "stealing" it, and it was my intention to contact the author, but I simply forgot, between proofreading, deliveries, exhaustion.

And I suppose the author was also "bleary-eyed" when she plagiarized all the other articles which were identified as having been taken from other cooking magazines?

There are worse threats.

It took me less than 15 minutes to find a decent photo of you, what I think is your work address (zip 60603), possibly your home address (number is 519) and phone number (726 in the middle). I didn't come up with your date of birth but I can make a pretty good guess about your wife's (digits add up to 2011) and the date of your wedding (adds up to 2022).

I'm sorry if that completely creeps you out. I tried not to give anything personal away here and that's all readily available online.

That's not from a scanned copy of an ID that Facebook would hopefully attempt to protect.
As electromagnetic points out, he's a Southpaw, which explains the wrong hands being forward.

That aside, I agree his guard is shit. His hands should be closer to his chin, and not nearly as far floating out in space. No boxing instructor would let him stand like this. No Muay Thai instructor would either. I can't speak to Krav Maga or any other arts, but yeah, it's rough.
Relax. Men of any sort cannot resist the topic. And if they could, the story would simply disappear.
But they care enough to complain on the behalf of their female friends and relatives? Possible but unlikely, I think.
Hopefully she'll have learned a bit about how to interact with people on the Internet by the time she starts her next venture (if this one is going down the tubes as a result of her previous actions).

Sadly that response tells me she's learned nothing from all of this and can't see beyond her own bloodied nose.
I don't see the point. Why would you want google too host your hard drive ? In my book it has only disadvantages.
there is a reason most of us work for someone else.

It's usually easier.

To strike out on your own is to cut the safety net.
I'm coming to Clojure from doing some relatively basic scientific programming in Ruby and Python. Mostly Python. I don't have a formal background in programming, and both Ruby and Python made it easy for me to automate portions of my data analysis tasks. Python's excellent scientific libraries allowed for even further integration into my data analysis tool chain.

I ran into a few issues that nudged me toward Clojure:

1. Although Python has a richness of libraries, there were still some niche, domain-specific libraries available only in Java that look really appealing.

2. I looked at learning Java a few times, and I had a hard time justifying spending a lot of time learning it. The gains didn't seem that big for the tedium I was feeling doing the reading/exercises.

3. Lisp syntax is quick and easy to learn.

4. Functional programming makes more sense to me. For example my Python style involves an unreasonable amount of list comprehensions.

5. For scientific/numeric computing, baked in parallelism/concurrency is extremely appealing.

6. I was also considering learning R, but when I saw Incanter have been hoping I could learn Clojure and make use of this excellent library. That way I con't have to move between a general purpose language and a data analysis language.

I suspect I'm not alone.
BTW, since oral thyroxine is (obviously) gastrointestinally absorbed, you may find that your required dosage decreases as your gastrointestinal symptoms improve -- so I recommend keeping your eyes open for symptoms of hyperthyroidism.
Thanks ;-) Got it.
I use EC2 for one project and Heroku for everything else. I don't think I'll use anything besides Heroku moving forward because it's so ridiculously easy to set up and use.

A couple days ago, I needed to set up a new website, so I registered the domain at Godaddy, created a new (free) app on Heroku, and pointed the new domain at the Heroku app via the free, integrated Zerigo solution. I had the app running on a Heroku subdomain within minutes, and was done within 4 hours, including domain resolution.

The speed and cost at which I can produce and validate an idea on Heroku is unmatched by anything else I've seen. Outside of the cost of the domain and my time, I have zero costs to toss a domain up on Heroku. If the idea bears fruit, I can transition over to a paid Heroku plan and keep running with it. If it doesn't, there's no real loss to me.

Meanwhile, it doesn't look like EY offers anything that would cost me less than $85/month.

Seems to be the actual source. It's kinda annoying that you need to hunt it like you do.
Hydrogen via electrolysis is not a good solution for grid-scale storage. The cycle efficiency is just way too low.
So this article was a wild ramble, but I like that there's interest. Let me sum some things up about SC2 and battle.net, completely unofficially and without inside information.

StarCraft II is trying some new things. They are taking control over more of the experience than they did before. That cheeses off a lot of people, but they have the opportunity and technology to do it and want to improve the experience in lots of ways instead of just the core game, which of course will be great.

The front end has been a mess by Blizzard's standards, I think. But it will evolve and get much, much better than its beta incarnation. StarCraft is a game that has held up for ten years plus and that is totally the intention on SC2. Blizzard released a patch for Diablo II earlier this year, so it helps to think about the long term.

And finally, Battle.net is an emerging network that's also in beta in its current incarnation. You can't serious if you think that it's not going to grow hugely in usability and capability in the next few years. And it's not like they're going to be supporting dozens of titles. Battle.net has got to be their avenue to making money off of non-MMO games, so they are very motivated to make it great.
Pregnant mother obesity and giving birth well over 30 contribute not only to autism but also plethora of other issues. On average 20 year old pregnant woman has one hundred times lower chances of delivery complications than 30 year old. 300 pound 35 year old behemoth on the McDonald's diet is the reason for crazy autism statistics in the West.
Touche, 95% of people who prove things on the internet use statistics.

We’re building a routing service unlike any other. It is flexible, fast, and customizable for every use case.
We are looking for people who know graph theory, efficient algorithms, and have the desire to run fast on creating a scalable API.

While having a background in routing is a bonus,
we’re really looking for C++ coders with a deep understanding of algorithms
and data structures. Knowledge in C++11, cache effiency as well as I/O effiency are certainly a plus.

Primary focus would be extending an open source routing engine.
Wouldn't even need a separate site - just update the redirect to point at the same load balancer as the main site instead, and then add a virtual host entry.

> "National Anthem" is brilliant but hard to evaluate for plausibility because the U.S. doesn't have the same class system. We have severe inequality, but no one would fault a U.S. President for choosing not to fuck a pig at the risk of Kim Kardashian or Paris Hilton.

In the UK, a member of the royal family would not be viewed as similar to "Kim Kardashian or Paris Hilton". It's better to think of it backwards "Who would have to be kidnapped to make the US President seriously consider fucing a pig for? OK just replace that person there." (e.g. what if the presidents daughter was kidnapped?)
No, I think DIME is. They should've changed the site name as well.
Very cool. Simple and easy to use. Clean design. Going down the list now!
So, I am a candidate to use this if I care enough but an issue to mail my representatives but either

1. I do not know who they are.

2. I do not have a way to commit my words to paper and mail them to the representatives.

I don't say that there aren't people who will find this convenient, but it seems a narrow market.
4 of the top 20 super computers in the world, and another 2 in the top 100[1], are operated by the US National Nuclear Security Administration. What do they do?

"One of the primary missions of NNSA is to maintain and enhance the safety, security and reliability of the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile. NNSA, through its Office of Defense Programs, ensures that the U.S. nuclear arsenal meets the country’s national security requirements and continues to serve its essential deterrence role."

Knowing what ideas are original is very hard. I have many ideas I consider far from obvious, which I don't know if they are original or not. It's a separate issue.
I was there when it still existed. I'm also the author of the piece.

We're not trying to make you feel bad that the projects were shut down. We are trying to convey:

* The scale of the process (the equivalent of relocating my entire hometown over the course of a decade).
* Some of what was gained and what was lost for residents
* The housing authority's demonstrated inability to meet their projections or deliver what they told residents they would.
* The story of the photographer, who responded to an act of violence by trying to understand where that violence might come from, and in the process documented a historic moment in American urban life.

Like I said, I worked there and I'm not nostalgic about it. I saw some truly awful stuff. But that doesn't mean there wasn't a huge social and personal cost to residents in dismantling that system. If that cost had been honestly reckoned with during the Plan For Transformation, some of the more egregious problems could have been avoided.
I'm curious. Did they excuse the bill or was this a $1000 lesson?
If you're feeling fancy, you can use my library to asymmetrically encrypt credentials using RSA keys [1].

This is not necessarily true. Just because we don't use as many miles of a particular transportation does not mean the economy is shrinking. Rail still makes up a huge portion of cargo transportation in the United States, we just don't need the lines that were used for last mile delivery or personal transportation because that gap was better filled by automotive and aerial transportation.
Agreed.

With every new communication medium comes new responsibility.

When radio was first introduced, it was rife with misinformation and false advertising. One Dr. Brinkly made a fortune selling fake goat testicle transplants (for treating ED) over the radio, only to relocate it to the Mexican border when he was shut down. He made so much money that he ran for Governor and received 30% of the vote.

We're kind of in the same place right now, but with a much broader medium. How we move forward is anyone's guess.
More accurately put, "more people than you'd ever imagine are susceptible to unreasonable arguments".

Too dumb, no. But definitely too gullible - and the is made worse by the profit that is to be made manipulating such people.
I've been thinking about how we can make devtools smarter and more fun to use. We write code with text but programs contain a lot of structure that we can take advantage of! If you're on mobile, you can find a video here https://twitter.com/_paulshen/status/1346583010691321856

This demo is an iteration of my code browser exploration where jump to definition always opens in a column to the right. I use TypeScript's language server to get the program's semantics which allows features such as showing only the item (eg function) that you're jumping to.

Here is another iteration with a canvas where you can drag panes around. https://artifacts.bypaulshen.com/code-explorer/01/?snapshot=... I have more ideas/iterations coming. My goal is to productionize this for real use :)
> You need to maintain GA residence.

Which people without fixed address do not. We are talking vagabond voting without residence so they used the shelter's address.

You can criticize Veritas all you want but that is not the focus here. Someone was caught on the record admitting to committing a felony in the state of Georgia.
1st amendment did envision the mass personalized misinformation that social networks have enabled. We need to remove all emotion based advertisement in political ads ASAP. No music, no personalities, no scary adjectives.
OP is giving a problem solving framework, it's not tied to specific solutions or tradeoffs. It's more of a method for thinking through a solution.

In more detail, the steps go like this.

Find as many solutions to a given problem as you can. Bad engineers run with the first solution that comes to mind, letting confirmation bias drive them.

Evaluate each solution for its costs and benefits. Imagine two steps in the future when the solution is implemented. What pains are there?

Search for creative new solutions that create win-win scenarios. That's riding the solution curve.

Given all viable scenarios, compare the costs and benefits against the quality measures for your specific context. Some projects value speed over precision. Some projects value performance over extensibility. Some solutions are easier to change later than others. This is choosing a specific point on the solution curve that best fits your context.

You can apply that method of problem solving to any problem, large or small. You don't need a ton of experience to practice it.
Example masters: John Carmack, Jeff Dean, Bram Cohen. What do they do? I think they're all extremely effective at getting things done. So be smart, hard working, and laser focused on shipping.

A long time ago I saw a good talk by Jonathan Blow wherein he made a point that really resonated with me. The point was that to get good at programming you need the experience of shipping a lot of programs and thus you should optimize your career around shipping as many good programs as you can. Contrast this with the common advice of being an expert in databases, or distributed systems, or OOP, or testing, or something like that...

Edit: found the talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjDsP5n2kSM
It is declining and Frontierville isn't really taking it's place.
Commenting is a pretty big part of the blogging community. I'd hope it would be included in any blogging platform. But then again there are outside sources like disqus for comments so you can bolt that onto your posts if you feel inclined.
Reaper is absolutely amazing, works on Linux just fine (natively! And supports LV2 plugins) and it's only $60 (and the demo version is a WinRar-like "I'm still using it" button). It's also a completely no-bullshit approach to software development, no subscriptions, nothing like that. Buy the license once, and upgrade to a commercial license (which is still less than the price of something like Ableton or Logic) if you are using it to make more than something like $20k. It's proprietary, but it's completely customizable, even coming with its own scripting engine. I think you should give it a shot, GPL is the only thing missing from your list of requirements, but it's also made by a small independent team that doesn't do the usual crap associated with bigger apps.

A good alternative to JACK and PulseAudio is PipeWire, which for me has worked basically completely flawlessly and supports JACK and PulseAudio bridges natively.
Yes, HDCP has been broken for a long time and even if it wasn't, you could still capture the LVDS signal that drives the LCD panel itself.

But the problem is that those are very high-speed signals(1920x1080 24bpp at 60FPS is around 350MB/s+) that require suitable hardware to capture, basically uncompressed video, and recompression would introduce more artifacts than the original. That's why pirates don't usually go this route; the result is only slightly better than pointing a good camera at the screen.
I read this headline as "Scientists find first evidence that many universities exist". Vacation clearly cannot come fast enough.
Patent number?
did you expect a profuse apology?
Off topic, but where? I am always looking for these to attend, but only know of TC disrupt, and a few in Canada.
Absolutely get an attorney if you're going to fight it. And hint #2: don't blog about your approach to the case, at least until after it's settled, and assuming the settlement doesn't include nondisclosure.
IMO, your arguing with evolution. Its there for a reason.
Yeah, fear is the loud siren, and red flashing lights, nuclear meltdown type warning.
no, i don't think it's a garden path sentence, because prior to the comma, it's just gibberish. a garden path sentence leads you down one path of meaning before turning the tables on you. it's quite possible that i'm being pedantic or just wrong, but i think the op's point stands: it's badly written copy and needs to be changed. it can't be justified as a poetic device.
I have no idea about the percentages. But I've been hit twice. One by a leak from a sizable gaming website, and the other time by gawker. Neither time I gave a shit because thankfully I was smart about my passwords.

There's always a risk, it's not expensive to defend against, so why not?
Not for nothing, Dan, it could also be considered rude in some circles to publicly engage with a third party about a person when being addressed by that person.

Can we compromise here?
* the manpage is pretty comprehensive (https://linux.die.net/man/1/tweak)

* no highlighting is a bummer.

* hotkeys are reasonable if you use readline(1)

* no undo, true.

* C-s, C-r are search forward and backwards, as expected.

* width and offset are configurable in .tweakrc, or pass -w and -o at launch.
This seems quite bad.

They really bury where to change these privacy setting too.

As far as infotainment is concerned, there's no excuse for not having a physical volume control. Everything else (channels, track/source selection, equalizer, etc) is potentially fine to have on a touchscreen, but volume is always relevant, and making it difficult to change could pose a safety risk (e.g. if the audio has become distracting to the driver and they want to turn it down).
The SEC has caught up to 2001, yay
> you automatically disqualify some major institutions

No: it's their choice, and if they choose not to use GPL software it is evidence that they do not care about user and developer software freedom. And that they don't want to contribute back.

Also, "some major institutions" is very unclear. Google is ok with GPLv2 but not with GPLv3. Apple has restrictions on their app store.

Both companies are extremely unlikely to support decentralized communities anyways - they outright compete against them.
I agree it is indeed disturbing, but it is probably not illegal.
No problem, and as a Mozilla user/contributor since the early Mozilla Suite days I sympathize with your cri de cœur. Power users had and will always have an outsized influence on Mozilla's market share and thus relevance and ability to fulfill its mission. At the same time performance, polish and usability need to keep up with the competition to keep the less technical majority. It's a tough balancing act when resource constrained.
> It just doesn’t make sense to have lawyers drafting a document that no one reads but that actually governs the client / supplier / employee / ... relationship, and then spending a lot more money on creating a completely different set of materials (e.g. FAQ, help pages, standard support ticket responses, ..) that are actually read and (hopefully) understood but which are (almost) meaningless to determine the parties’ actual rights and obligations.

Agreed! Years ago I tried drafting an enterprise-software client's standard end-user license agreement (EULA) in FAQ format. The effort wasn't well-received by customer lawyers. I've wondered maybe it'd be different today but haven't worked up the nerve to try again.
I ran into this the other day, and it took me a moment to realise that I could just use `matches!`:

// want to do this
if not let Some("pattern") = val {
doSomething();
}

// can instead do
if !matches!(val, Some("pattern")) {
doSomething();
}
I would usually be able to make it to work by 9:00am. That's coz of when I could drop the kids off at school and then catch the train. Since covid they don't have morning supervision any longer. Thanks to covid the office is closed anyway but if it was open and they'd require even 9am never mind earlier, then my next words are "Bye bye".

That said even once Covid restrictions are over forget me coming to the office every day of the week. I enjoy my life way too much to let that be taken away again. Yes I moved out here by choice and chose to take the longer commute over city life, I do realize that. But I really don't get what the problem would be with just meeting at the office like once a week or whenever 'needed' with your team instead of being forced to go and partake in all the social banter that kills concentration.
If you don't know what the difference is between <script> and <script defer> that doesn't mean you aren't a competent developer.

No, but it does mean that you don't know about deferred script execution and possibly do not have a lot of experience in optimising page performance.

Hardly the end of the world, but if you're looking for a senior developer you might really want that skillset.
