Dispatch | Full-Stack Rails Engineer | Minneapolis, MN | REMOTE OK in the US | https://dispatchwithus.com

Dispatch is working to redefine same-day local delivery. Whether you need items delivered to a jobsite, don't have time to stop at the store, or simply crave donuts from across town, we can get it to you.

THE ROLE

You’ll be one of the first members of the engineering team and will be influential in the technical direction of the platform as we grow. This is a high responsibility, high autonomy position and you’ll be deploying code to production within the first day or two. You’ll be encouraged to propose features and functionality as the platform continues to mature.

We believe that product development is more fun when deploying early and often, splitting up work into bite-sized chunks and getting feedback from real users as quickly as possible. We also believe that a single engineer should be empowered to develop a feature from start to finish, and that the technology stack should be simple enough to make that realistic.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

* Design and write well-structured, easily maintainable, and thoroughly tested code
* Participate in code reviews to ensure quality and consistency in the codebase, and to keep the team aligned
* Deploy your projects to production frequently and monitor the results to ensure quality and positive outcome
* Accept feedback from customers and adapt solutions with an eye for usability
* Work with the rest of the product team to come up with ways to make the product better overall

WHAT YOU'LL NEED

* Experience building and supporting web applications in a full-stack capacity
* Proficiency with Ruby on Rails or Javascript/React, and with an interest in getting your hands dirty on both backend and frontend
* A desire to dig into new technologies and learn as you go
* Bonus: React Native, iOS, Android, ElasticSearch, Google Maps APIs

New measurement confirms: The ozone is coming back
Rohrabacher-Farr has to be passed anew with each spending authorization and the current one expires later this month. If the administration decided they really don't want it, they can go hard line on that, though there's political risk involved.

It explicitly also applies only to medical marijuana laws even as previously drafted; even if they don't go hardline against it they could either seek to have Congress revise it slightly to provide a clearer delineation of the medical boundary, or just go full-out against non-medical operations in recreational-use states and let the courts sort out the boundary; start a few RICO and/or Continuing Criminal Enterprise prosecutions with the associated broad forfeiture that can come with those (and the 20-year, or if your business is more successful, life) mandatory prison sentences available under the latter, and you'll drive lots of people that aren't yet being prosecuted out of “legal” pot and supporting businesses even before any legal challenges are resolved.

I respect Popehat a lot, but I think that while the minimization of the legal risk to individual users is accurate, it misses the real risk, which is to trade as a whole through selective targeting of major operations and supporting businesses. Individual users lose out because the “legal” industry goes away from legal risk, not because they are individually targeted for prosecution.
Unfortunately the only part that has to be under penalty of perjury is a declaration that "the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly in-fringed." So even if these are bullshit, as long as they are acting behalf of the owner of the work they claim it to infringe, they haven't perjured themselves.

And that's for a standard DMCA takedown, which these may not have been. I believe YouTube has their own process separate from the DMCA which may have looser requirements. (They still have to accept standard DMCA takedowns to get the safe harbor protection, but it doesn't mean they can only act on takedowns that are DMCA compliant)
Makes total sense. OpenWRT is an established name and LEDE is a better codebase. Slap the former on the latter and move on.
> You are telling those people who live there that they can never rebuild? If they want to rebuild their house they need to make it into an apartment complex?

Is it possible you have misparsed "minimum height limit" as a set of minimum requirements on height? I believe it refers to a minimum on height limits, saying that lots cannot be zoned to be one-story-only. Your hypothetical family will be able to rebuild under this.

> This seems really shortsighted and ignores the problem that each city and community is a little different. Some cities along the Bart/Caltrain lines could handle this. Others could not. A top down approach saying everything is the same and must follow these rules is not going to work

You're absolutely right right! This is, in a great many ways, very far from an ideal approach. It refuses to offer the kind of flexibility that individual cities and communities could use to best benefit their residents.

The problem is that these cities and communities have taken that liberty and spent decades abusing it. They have, by and large, used their rights to decide that the appropriate amount of development for them is little to none. This legislation has the feel of a response to those abuses.

Back to this thread to note this method of "proving" results by existence is working great for chip manufacturers right now.

Yes some ARM Cortex A-series are affected by a variant of Meltdown. https://developer.arm.com/support/security-update
Do you know the name of this processor?
They likely weren't. ContentID enforcement doesn't require a DMCA takedown request. It's essentially a pre-get-laywers-involved level of enforcement. That makes YouTube the judge.
So kind of left field but what's the theoretical effects these exploits would have on The Mill ?

Would it be vulnerable in the same way?

Just sharing some thoughts on your questions, not claiming I got conclusive answers:

Leisure time like listening to music or playing a video game can make you happier. Such happy events can re-energize not on that specific day necessarily, but e.g. the workweek (or beginning of workweek) afterwards. Neutral and unpleasant activity will not have such effect.

Anecdotal: overcoming a great challenge in gaming in a team had made me euphoric for a few days. I woke up and was literally right away excited. Gaming doesn't always have such effect though. One problem games (and TV etc) have is that it can feel like a choir. A mandatory riedel you gotta sing every X time together with person Y on time Z. Even when at times you really don't wanna. Then you can end up in a negative spiral, especially if the other factors are being difficult as well (e.g. your kid, work, etc). Because it isn't always static. Sometimes you want to skip. If you game in a team, play a team sport, or are a high performing athlete you might be hard on yourself. If you got on-demand TV, you can skip easier, but I suppose the monthly pay makes you wanna eat your cake as part of the all you can eat sub.

Sports can affect your brain by increasing your cognitive performance.

I suppose it can be proven with EEG/MRI scans. Probably rather costly, but if its done for academic purposes and reproduced by a TV show you got two birds (tho not with one stone): the scientific part background, and that being applied for the general population explained with simplicity.

That really depends on your overcommit settings. It seems that you describe an overcommit = 2 case, when the total VIRT for all processes will not exceed swap + memory * overcommit_ratio%. But that's not default mode (default is overcommit = 0). And you can mitigate this issue in other ways (as enabling swap can lead into some very bad situations when _physical_ memory gets exhausted):

- set overcommit = 1, OOM now comes only when sum(RSS) exhausts swap + memory

- just increase overcommit_ratio if you want to stay under overcommit =2
The USB C XPS13 models don't support dual MHL monitors, something which older models apparently did (and why I figured it was a safe purchase). Intel is taking a surprisingly long time to implement the necessary Thunderbolt support. Not Dell's fault, but they could at least prod the folks in Santa Clara.

I don't need the touchscreen, but it's the only way to get 16GB of RAM in the US. Really, Dell, this is totally your doing. Same with that coil whine. I thought you had sorted that out after the Latitude I bought fifteen years ago.
Remember though, its mainly the people who have had big problems with their devices that will complain online. I had multiple issues with many MBP's but still havn't changed the review I did on the first day because they serviced it very quickly. Dell service is excellent, but I can't just take it into a shop, so I'm more likely to complain about that.

Having said that I love my 2017 XPS13
Not a DIY project, but one solution I’ve been looking at is Circle [1]. It comes as a stand-alone device or baked into some higher end Netgear models. And they have a subscription that allows you to monitor remote usage as well (I’m assuming it works as a VPN).

As much as I’d like to tinker myself, the little I’ve seen of the Circle app looks like a really slick way to monitor and manage usage in a low maintenance and least-intrusive manner.

Banking system is federalized though. Both currency and deposit insurance. They'll make it harder and harder for any weed dispensary or manufacturer to use banks, which is hilarious to imagine the crime around a liquor store having to use cash for every transaction.

But step back for a moment, and realize that they have probably 20 more policies just like this already in the hopper for a "rainy day", like yesterday, so they can completely control the media/narrative due to the outrage. Its literally the strategy that they state publicly. The problem of course is all the collateral damage, but at this point red state voters only care about sticking it to blue states. We're turning into a bi-cultural country to the point not seen since the civil war.
Problem is, not all marijuana products are intoxicating, see cannabidiol (CBD) and industrial hemp. You could actively encourage CBD and hemp ropes use without also encouraging intoxication. Unfortunately, federal law treats CBDs on par with heroin. I've taken CBD when I threw out my back and I can attest the only affect it had on me was the reduced use of ibuprofen and reduced stomach irritation from the ibu.

The federal government is truly deranged when it comes to drug policy in general and marijuana specifically.

And I would expect the Feds to target banks first, particularly the one showcased in the NYT like this:

A division of the credit union, Safe Harbor Private Banking, provides checking accounts expressly for the marijuana industry, in clear violation of federal law.

I'll say that I wanted to like Dell because they seemed to be focused on delivering quality Linux laptops. However, I will never buy a Dell again. The support is absolutely abysmal. I had a 5510 that I ended up selling for a significant loss about 6 months after buying it because Dell kept "fixing" what I had, sending me back the wrong machine, etc. Total waste of time and money. Buyer beware on quality and support - what's represented in forum after forum is true. Here was my post from a while ago:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13943966

I now own a Lenovo T470 and it's been without a hitch since receipt and running Linux. Hopefully the new XPS 13 isn't the 7th generation Fiero that many of us assume it will be.

You can make an argument (though media typically characterizes it as “recreational”), that the states that have authorized pot withoit a physician recommendation have actually legalized it for OTC medical use like any of the wide range of drugs people are free to buy and use according to their own interpretation of their medical needs.

OTOH, if the DoJ decides to push the limits of its authority, that's an argument that will potentially have to be made after they’ve seized your assets and charged you everyone in your business—and potentially outside business partners who knew what your business is—with major felonies some of which have 20-year mandatory sentences, and maybe offered you a chance to plea down to a few years. So, even pushing the argument will be a big risk.

Three of the claims are for other white noise recordings. It's arguably not even an algorithmic mistake, but a result of someone claiming they have rights over a recording of white noise.

Not to detract from the logic, principle, or arguments here. But if someone said that kind of thing to me I would most likely respond with "Shutup-you talk too much!" I feel like a threat would need to be included to make a rational human incentivized to respond to such an arcane and winding dialogue, albeit a request..
There's a lot of space left in code already to insert trampolines later. And in the end of the day most memory is data, not code.

And eventually, this code will get replaced anyway (just like today there are often multiple code paths in binaries, and a lot of code is compiled for host anyway).

In any case, the performance impact of a couple extra bytes per indirect call is small compared to disabling branch target prediction.
Have fun attacking your strawman.
The storage of cash situation is is a weird one nobody really talks about. It's unclear to me how Posabit gets USD back to the retailer, but my understanding is the funds moving from Posabit to retailers happens as USD.

Due to the fact retailers have to move large sums of cash, and can't store it in a bank easily, they're pretty tight lipped about the situation (pot shops being robbed at the end of the night isn't unheard of).
Will that really make a difference? Some amount of people is still going to know about the announcement in advance. The only difference is that Coinbase might actually have the resources to scale the release this time if they track how big of a deal their announcement is.

I've been wanting to move away from standard consumer networking hardware for ages, because it all seems terrible in lots of different ways.

The Unifi Security Gateway looked interesting until I googled a bit, no IPv6 support in 2018 at £100? That's insane. I mean, apparently you can do it manually, but bleh.
I'm totally on the same boat! Failed XPS 15 9550 and migrated to ThinkPad X1 5th gen. Now perfectly happy with the latter.

The XPS had failed with ridiculous reason, I try to access the BIOS/UEFI with some key while boot up. After some tries, the machine never boot again. It founds that by pushing F8 in the wrong timing/combination while booting can cause the machine to brick forever. This is beyond the expectation of how any computer should work !

Interesting that this seems to say that A-series processors are vulnerable to Meltdown (or a variant of it).

Could this “check later” speculative approach similar to Intel’s explain Apple’s great performance advantage over other ARM CPUs?
> If you are black, your ancestors were not vikings

That is far too strong a statement. Virtually all black Americans have some verifiable level of European descent, so they would definitely have Viking ancestors. For actual Africans, it's less certain, but it's at least plausible that an African would have some Viking ancestors.

The Byzantines recruited Norse soldiers starting in the 9th century. They would almost certainly have all had Viking ancestry since that was about two hundred years into the Viking age. There were some pretty significant Scandinavian settlements there by the 11th century.

Even by the 9th century, the Byzantines had a lot of trade with North Africa and North Africa had a lot of trade with sub-Saharan Africa. If even a bit of interbreeding happened and spread some Viking genes to sub-Saharan Africa that would be plenty of time for them to spread to most of the population.

Obviously, Zulu descent is much less common because the Zulu didn't show up until about a thousand years after the Vikings.
This is awesome. I wrote come basic view / transform embroider software back in the 90s but nowhere near this.

I completely agree with everything you state in this comment, especially your last sentence. I have a strong sense that we have similar opinions but different ways of stating them.
> Intel CPUs allow this, but AMD CPUs do not.

Do we know this for sure ? I see now that the meltdown paper has a suggestion in chapter 7.1 that the CPU should perform the permission check on the page table before data is fetched to the cache,
But dismisses that suggestion on the grounds it will haves very high performance impact.

Are you saying AMD does the check first anyway, and either takes the performance hit or has found a way to not take a performance hit ?
Sierra and El Capitan are covered too.
i absolutely see it as a benefit too, but i admit it annoys me sometimes. i would love to get paid to work with rust.

I used to run DD WRT, but got tired of fighting weird issues. Looks like from the comments to your post there are still issues out there. I ended up switching to a ubiquiti AC Pro for WiFi and am about to buy a USG to replace my old router. If all you are looking for is rock solid performance and reliability that is still fairly flexible I’d go with Ubiquiti. If you want to tinker or are really passionate about running open source then obviously LEDE is a decent choice.
The left is in a very dangerous spot right now. I have seen leftists equate free speech with white supremacy.

The danger is that people start to believe them.
If you lose anything because of the bug, find a good lawyer. I'm sure there are a few that would love to go after this CEO's billions. He should pay because he was paid a lot to run Intel right, and didn't.
Well, you have to have a good lunch or you'd never get anything done.
Look up stats for how much Obama spent on raiding states with legalized pot. The idea that Trump suddenly has a war on pot is ridiculous nonsense. The idea that the Fed's hands were tied before now is ridiculous.

Federal drug policy has long been, and will for the foreseeable future continue to be, dangerous nonsense.
Someone who would buy hardware like that would probably choose a wired router with pfSense and separate access points instead.
> I'm really happy about USB-C. Since I got a new Macbook I only carry a single power adapter when traveling, plus an adapter dongle for legacy devices

I only carry a power adaptor when traveling. No dongle at all.

> Same for use in the office

I have a dock on my desk. I place my laptop on it and press a button. No dongles, no wires, instantly transforms my laptop into a desktop with two screens, Ethernet, keyboard and mouse.

> USB-C is the superior connector

Agreed. But keeping one or two legacy ports around for convenience is good. Specially when all common peripherals still use it.
