To counter your anecdata with my own anecdata: I have never had a problem with a bash-script (or upstart) based init system which took more than an hour to fix once and run on every server (and I've worked with a few hundred thousand servers at various points in my career). To compare, I spent an hour reading systemd documentation to just find the location of one of the configuration files.

More to the point, I have now worked for two large companies which are holding off on upgrades to systemd-based distro versions in an effort to avoid having to deal with systemd.

It's such a complete paradigm shift, and so opaque, that not one of the sysadmins I've worked with is comfortable betting their jobs on it.

Stupid things like the infinite loop via systemd-notify do little to ease that concern.

Do you want to turn your ideas into real products? Or just build a prototype? Or just wanna take your idea to the next level? We keep it Lean. Full stack. React, React Native, HTML/CSS, UX/UI prototyping for web and mobile.

We work using the Hollywood model so you're not paying for partial or under-resourced staff: the project is defined; the correct team is assembled and it works together for precisely as long as is needed to complete the project; then the team is disbanded. We work directly with you, one on one. Two-weekly sprints. Ask for work samples. We only compete on quality, never on price.
What Are Conversions and How to Use Analytics to Track Them
I'm mostly hedging on the "overloading" part as Haskell doesn't support arbitrary ad-hoc polymorphism in the sense of C++/Java/C# (IIRC the foundational paper on typeclasses is about making ad-hoc polymorphism less ad-hoc). Depending how far into the overloading field nradov is, typeclasses may not match their definition of or requirements for overloading.

It's probably more noticeable in Rust than in Haskell.

> She said that neither she nor anyone else at her recruiting firm would work with me ever again

If she actually thought that was tantamount to "you'll never work in this town again", she needs a reality check. Oh, this one recruiter firm won't work with me, whatever will I do?

I've worked at four different companies. In order, I got those jobs through Craigslist (2007), Monster (2012), Indeed (2014), and a friend referral (2016). None of them involved recruiters. Also, during the times I've been looking, I talked to a very large number of recruiters. If one of them blackballed me, it wouldn't affect me because I talked to so many other recruiting firms, and even then I ended up getting all my jobs without them.
I like this idea. How do you ensure that you'll be around longer than I will?
ULONGLONG is in fact a Windows Drivers Kit specific type. WDK has its own specialised set of weird and uncomfortable type conventions in the MS style [0] and although the author's point about C arithmetic type promotion is generic, his context is WDK device drivers, so ULONGLONG is absolutely correct, if possibly somewhat archaic (there's a ULONG64 lately).

> Nothing came of Paul Graham’s plan for tech to stop Donald Trump, but Altman, after brooding about Trump for months, recently announced a nonpartisan project, called VotePlz, aimed at getting out the youth vote. Looking at the election as a tech problem—what’s the least code with the most payoff?—Altman and his three co-founders concentrated on helping young people in nine swing states to register, by providing them with registration forms and stamps.

Doesn't this confirm that VotePlz is mostly just a smokescreen to "get-out-the-vote" for a favored candidate?

I'm an ideal senior devops, SRE, or cloud engineer. My background is unusual because I started as an embedded engineer, had network and system administration duties added, and finally learned how to do security by winning awards at some high visibility contests. Because I've built every hardware or software part of a technology stack in my career at some point, I'm unusually good at troubleshooting weird cloud problems.

I also have a decade of experience professionally administering complex networks. Even if I'm hired as a programmer, I always end up also being "the network guy" somehow, since I've written so much automation to do the job for me.
A really valuable service to offer, with a great simple pricing model.

From the article I still have some doubts, but was this the guy who hosted Mouseterpiece Theatre? If so, I always loved that guy. I'm going to go watch old Disney cartoons from the 50's on youtube now.
Of course, but shifting the burden onto developers, where most of them aren't professional libc or kernel engineers, leads to avoidable issues.

Rust seems familiar enough to many developers, and forces them to think about resource management before running the code by not allowing incorrect code, so I hope it will lead to more libraries and applications that would have otherwise been easily plagued with issues due to choosing C. Granted, I'm not a fan of how Rust's surface has turned out, but it's a sensible compromise to attract masses of developers into writing less buggy code that operates on the same level as that written in C. So I use it as a C replacement, and for that use case I like it because there's momentum behind it.
HBC Digital | New York, NY | Multiple Roles | ONSITE VISA

WHO WE ARE

HBC Digital drives the digital retail/ecommerce and digital customer experience across all HBC retail banners including Hudson’s Bay, Lord & Taylor, Saks Fifth Avenue, Saks OFF 5TH and Gilt. While it’s clear that the future of retail will rely heavily on new technologies and the internet, we are still discovering how this will pair with in-store shopping to power commerce in the coming years and decades. With millions of customers, both online and offline, HBC Digital is positioned at the center of this reinvention.

OUR CULTURE

A recent survey of HBC Digital employees about our culture revealed the three most common responses were fast-paced, team-oriented and growth.

Fast-paced – Our employees are constantly tackling new problems and challenges that result from working at a company growing rapidly through acquisitions and in an industry that is continuously evolving.

Team-oriented – Our employees work on small, cross-functional teams with a high level of autonomy and ownership. Projects are run in an Agile fashion. We keep meetings to a minimum so people can focus on getting work done. HBC Digital also offers a flexible work environment, great work-life balance and a growing number of perks and career development opportunities.

Growth – Our employees are encouraged to use 20% of their time for learning new technologies. HBC Digital also has a strong history of developing our employees and opening new doors for them to grow their careers.

HOW WE WORK

You can expect to be working with a mix of Java and Scala. If you have never worked with Scala, don’t worry, we’re perfectly happy to help you get up to speed. On the Scala side of things, we are heavily leveraging Akka and Play, as well. There is also some Clojure in our ecosystem, so you may get the chance to work with that as well.

You’ll have a choice of a Mac or a PC for your laptop. When we move into our brand new office in August, you’ll also get a super comfy Herman Miller Aeron chair. The new space will be flooded with tons of natural light and feature amazing views of Lower Manhattan, New York Harbor and New Jersey. The open floorplan has plenty of flex space for impromptu meetings and cozy nooks for when you need to tune out. As for tools, you’re encouraged to use whatever editors, IDE’s, etc. that you’re most comfortable with.

Please email our Tech Evangelist, john_coghlan@s5a.com, if you're interested.
That's odd. From a perspective of an actual libertarian, SV political preferences are so far left (basic income, etc.), it's like Communist propaganda once again.

I'm just pointing out that your problem is with unit tests, not with Mockito. I think unit tests are invaluable on large projects, so I find Mockito to be an incredibly valuable tool. I'm also not arguing against integration testing, just that unit testing is not the time to worry about your prod environment.

You basically consider the event log as a big collection,and you "fold over" the events in order to incrementally build your state/projection, the same way you would do with finite collections in a Functional language (scala, haskell, ...).

GetEventStore documentation has some examples of how you can create projections (https://geteventstore.com/blog/20130212/projections-1-theory...), which you can use as inspiration to build your own projections.

Effectively; although "name" usually implies an opaque symbol, e.g. the language would see no difference between, say, "addAsInts" vs. "addAsFloats", compared to "addAsInts" vs. "divide".

Classes, namespaces, modules, etc. allow names to have a more fine-grained structure, e.g. "int.add" and "int.divide" come from the same module, whilst "int.add" and "float.add" are alternative implementations of the same signature.

SEEKING WORK - New York City/Brooklyn, NY - Remote Ok

Experienced full stack Ruby and Javascript developer with work history focused on startups. Some big company (e.g. NY Times, Cleversafe), small business and agency (ALLDAYEVERYDAY, Metarhythm) experience as well. Most of my experience is with Rails and/or Angular but I've also worked with node.js, Ember.js, Sinatra, Python/Django and D3.js. Not dev-ops per say but I have experience managing deployments with AWS, Digital Ocean, Rackspace and Heroku.

A lot of my projects have involved helping early stage startups get to an MVP or build out features from an MVP. I've also done cleanup on projects when another agency or developer was behind schedule and a project needed to ship ASAP. I'm open to any project that sounds interesting, let's talk.

Lots of client facing experience, great at communicating with the business side. As well as picking up the slack when design resources are short (mostly UX).
