Rapid Tender | Junior Frontend Developer | London, UK | Full-time, ONSITE, www.countfire.com (www.rapidtender.com)

If you are a super inquisitive, enthusiastic junior developer with an eye for the frontend, we'd like to speak to you about becoming the 3rd dev on our team.

We (Rapid Tender) make software (Countfire) for the construction industry. I know, enterprise software doesn't sound exciting but we do really interesting work. The technology you will learn includes (but is not limited to); js, react, mobx, angular, css, python, flask, sql, postgres and linux. You will be given all the support you need to progress rapidly to an experienced developer. My expectation is that what you're missing in experience, you will make up for in a desire to learn.

Email aidan@rapidtender.com for more details (no recruiters please)

Blockstack engineer here. Just want to clarify for other readers that Blockstack Core has a "fast-sync" mode that lets you spin up a full node in a minute or two. The downside is that it uses a recent signed snapshot from Blockstack PBC's servers (the public key is built into the software). If you have it installed, you can this to get started:

$ blockstack-core fast-sync
We're using the Symantec/Digicert API for getting certs at work. I'm not directly involved in that, but I think when you want to issue a new cert you have to revoke the old one first. The API will just return an error if there is an existing cert for the same domain name.

I recall vividly that when we moved from manually-issued certs (using their website) to automatic issuing (using their API), we had to revoke all certs before starting the automatic job for the first time. I don't know how it works wrt moving from the old Symantec root to the new Digicert root; I'm not directly involved in that.

Oh, and BTW, of course we're investigating moving to Let's Encrypt instead, if only because we can use an existing ACME client and don't have to continue maintaining our own certificate automation.

> Zoloft made me extremely suicidal

Were you on an upswing in your mood?

There's a tough period with anti-depressants where people are on an upswing to a more positive position. They haven't yet broke free of overwhelming suicidal thoughts and low mood, but now have energy and motivation to actually do things. Unfortunately, that means suicidal thoughts that seemed too difficult now appear possible.

It's a really interesting and tough situation. Being suicidal can actually indicate things are working properly, but will still need 4 to 6 weeks to get you to a more positive place.
I think "modern" perspectives are also being attacked from a progressive perspective. Freedom of speech, for instance, is losing its appeal as different groups see speech itself as despicable and on par with physical misbehavior. I guess you could group that into your #2, but in a future-looking perspective, towards some sort of utopia where everyone has pleasant thoughts and words.
But this is all nonsense. Symantec never had the private keys, so there was nothing at all unsafe about the certificates.
Last time a major DDoS disruption happened it seems the likely reason was anti China gov content on Github.

>That should put to rest the "Apple's planned obsolescence" narrative, but I doubt it will. I think it has always been the case that Apple cares about building really good hardware that lasts. That's not to say that they don't make mistakes (they do), but they care most about making something good, regardless of the "business case."

I hope it doesn't. I have experienced it first hand with my 4S which became horribly laggy and unusable after all of the iOS updates, and I had no way of downgrading iOS and returning it to the factory state.

Also regarding the battery issue, call me a cynic but there is no way that this wasn't PR driven. Apple took a PR hit because they sneakily slowed down the phone instead of informing the user that their battery is dying and that they should get it fixed. Obviously because it would highlight the flaws in their design (which other smartphones might or might not have too).

I'm not an Apple shareholder so I don't care about their profits at all, and hopefully neither should anyone else.

From my understanding they can train the agent to accomplish a fairly complex task, by first "training" the agent to be able to accomplish simpler tasks that are perhaps only slightly related to the final goal. If you want to learn to run, first learn the more basic skills of balancing, standing up and walking. The agent appears to decide what task it wants to try to pursue, but still receives signals about all the tasks available to it, and has a way of planning and following through on what future tasks to carry out.

I wonder if there's any way to automatically generate useful, simple goals?

Many people in the USA do speak up and urge the government to stop the aggression against North Korea. People who do so are respected in the US by their fellow citizens and their ability to speak up, organize, protest in a non-violent way is protected by law.

In practice the local police have really screwed up protecting people's rights in recent years but it doesn't change the fact that achieving big goals like changing US foreign policy is HARD.

The difference is in the US change like this is HARD. Not necessarily DANGEROUS. If you can achieve political action and change you are RESPECTED because it is HARD. You are not FEARED because you are DANGEROUS.

Solon[1] is my favorite example, and how I think a benevolent ruler should act; Write a good constitution and take a step back.

Thanks! Specifically didn't mention them because the effect of activities themselves is the point.

If you haven't read a book on topic-x, the first one is going to change your perspective pretty radically and put you in that iterative and open learning mode.

The activity (see post history for clues;)) was about sublimating that same ego/anxiety by accepting guidance and instruction from a great teacher who had mastered something.

Super productive and high achieving people tend to have absorbing hobbies for (I think) related reasons. It's not that there is a "trick," it's that there is a general effect that all those tricks produce, which is that state of creative flow that results from removing our negative self-conscious reactions.

IMHO, for me that included silencing self-critical mental filters by overloading them with stimuli from things like constructive authority, physical exhaustion, and awe and excitement at a new body of knowledge.

My thinking is that the things people do as flow and inspiration hacks roll up into this overall process.
Awesome work by the people involved making the best CMS for developers even better. Congratulations all.

US Citizenship and ability to get a security clearance required. Existing clearance a strong plus.

I suspect the logic was something along the lines of "Symantec has acted in an untrustworthy manner (enough to get them distrusted by several major browser vendors) therefore we consider all our customer's certificates that were issued by them to be untrustworthy ("compromised") and want them revoked."

Still doesn't explain why they thought that revoking 50k of their customers certificates with less than 24-hours notice would be a good idea though. That really just seems like shooting themselves in the foot.
You never understand because you're not affected by it, or don't understand it or think people are simply lying. The 4S turned into an unusable phone after all the updates. I know because I had one and had to get rid of it after it Apple updates slowed it down.
The easiest in my opinion - work for US company and then relocate within organization - this may help you avoid pay-cut and sort out various visa/relocation hassles.

Another option would be working remotely for US company and travelling - see digital nomads. Then once you are fine to settle down you can seek local job. Recruiters will chase you down anyway once you switch your LinkedIn location.

Actually you can even now show your interest to relocate with LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/career-interests/

It seems like a harder problem than that as well - you might want some of the units in the back of the swarm to go the long way because they'd wait a long time at the choke.

But maybe you don't want to do that - those units in the back are squishy and need to stick with the units at the front of the choke.

But maybe that's ok - the alternative path isn't too far away and it's not a risky move to make.

Maybe that's too complicated. Probably best to make the swarm operate as if other moving units don't exist (to make pathing predictable) and let the player micromanage via waypoints/grouping.
