Pusher (https://pusher.com) | Mobile SDK Architect | London | Full time

At Pusher we’ve built an incredibly successful business from our core pub-sub API product, helping tens of thousands of developers build scalable web and mobile apps faster.

But we didn’t stop there: we spent the last 18 months investing in a new platform. We took everything we learned from building and running Pusher and made it easier to develop innovative new products like Chatkit, TextSync, and Push Notifications.

We believe our products can only be successful if they provide great developer experience, which starts with easy to use, consistent SDKs.

I must have deleted over 10k things, so there's no chance of remembering whether they were on the list of things I deleted or simply didn't appear.

I mostly used the Activity Log (button at the top of your profile page) to do the deletion. There are filters there so you can see the different types of interactions. Removing them is different, e.g. Delete vs Unlike.

During the process, I did notice things appearing which had previously not appeared, so that definitely does happen. I kept going back to see if there was new stuff to delete. The whole process took me about 3 months.

The plot twist is that this all happened over 6 months ago. My profile has been empty the whole time, until sometime within the past couple of weeks, where posts have started to re-appear.
Or you can just buy a broken C64 to do this, plenty of them on ebay.

Chicken and egg; it won't properly boot until it has enough entropy, and you don't get enough entropy until it is booted.

The proper fix is to change the boot scripts to not assume that the CRNG will be available directly after boot.

Pusher (https://pusher.com) | Software Engineering Manager | London | Full time

Our pub-sub API is used by tens of thousands of developers across the world to add realtime features to their web and mobile applications. We send over 300 billion messages a month with category-leading reliability.

We want to double down on this success, so we're building a whole new team around this product. You'll manage this team, taking care of the inevitable team scaling challenges and making sure that we continue to innovate.

Reporting to the VP of Engineering as part of our engineering leadership team, we want you to build a team of engineers who will work on our pub-sub API.

Type safety is important to me.
So not going for python.

Otherwise python is the go-to because of the libs.
I think I understand what variable message signs are, and I can guess at changeable lane control, but what are the sprinklers and pumps for? What is ramp metering?

Very interesting (as always with good geekery almost regardless of actual subject matter), but so frustrating that the part about pumps and sprinklers not being answered.

The linked-to PDF in the article (the one that the quote above comes from) doesn't mention sprinklers or pumps more than once, either.

I guess traffic intersections often have decorative planting which might need watering and it would make sense to make the already-present light controller handle that, too. That's my best guess, at least. Some basic googling didn't turn up anything useful.
> Is it too much to ask that some company I don't have business with doesn't spy on my web surfing habits?

But FB does not spy you (but itself), website owners do. FB and other trackers are tools, which all the media happily use, bashing FB at the same time. Wouldn't it be too much to ask THEM to stop spying on us?

Just checked: theverge - 10 trackers, arstechnica - 9, wapo - 14 (including fb!), huffpost - 11 (including fb). It's not fixable by fixing Facebook.
Ironically the site itself is insecure - the link goes here:

Yes of course, and I have no insight into how they worked with maps (except remote imaging), I just know that the amount of hours you need to invest per village with 300+ pop is quite large. There are also several organizational issue with maps, how do you keep them secret, what do you map, where do you map, if caught with a map are you a spy. Basically why would you give a beat cop a top secret map, my comment about Openstreetmap was a joke but it highlights the bigger problem that maps are a social good and that is not always the goal of the intelligence community in hostile environment.

I don't think it's debatable. The Oculus tracking system at best does the same as the Lighthouse tracking, except lighthouse has less latency, less processing requirement (you can track a room full of hundreds or thousands of discrete balls since there's no CV loop). Plus in theory multiple users can use the same set of lighthouse emitters (they work kind of like Wii's IR based tracking system).

Perhaps i can blame the booze, as i an admittedly very drunk but still unconvinced and/or confused.

I asked my question coming from the angle of big-oh analysis, and all three (as of the time of this reply) responses in the thread seem to describe a growth by a constant factor of 1.3bar, bar over 3, otherwise known as polynomial growth, yes?

Absolutely, the growth can be mathematically expressed with an exponent, but we verbally characterize the actual growth to be polynomial if the scalar stays constant (a.k.a. a literal number in the exponents place) rather than increasing as the amouny of input increases (independent variable lying within the actual exponent), no?
On second thought, you're right, I made a mistake upvoting it.

As much as I love B2, their SDK support is pretty terrible. There are a handful of half-baked and abandoned libraries. We've been using an internal python library which we're starting to open source and plan on maintaining. We've also forked wal-e to support this library and B2 endpoint (currently have basic upload functionality working). It would not take much effort from Backblaze to throw some resources behind these efforts, or hell, to host their own S3 proxy (I'll never understand the design choices behind their API).
Facebook suppressing conservative content
Sure, but there are many many useful tools for which there is no clear market. I do think academic institutions should do more to value and promote development of useful artifacts. But that's difficult to do if rankings (of people and of institutions) are only based on academic publications, which (for the most part) don't include tool descriptions.
Wouldn't it be easier to just raise domain registration /renewal prices, making squatting a poor return on investment?
SEEKING WORK - Liverpool, UK - Remote preferred, open to a small amount of travel.

Hi. I'm Craig. I'm a full-stack analyst developer with over two decades of experience of a wide range of full life-cycle software projects.

I work primarily, but not exclusively, with Microsoft technologies and the .NET framework, leading complex and challenging enterprise software development projects to successfully deliver robust, secure, scalable and efficient software solutions that produce genuine and quantifiable business value.

Throughout my career I've built web, desktop, server and embedded software and am just as accomplished at designing and developing a single use website for a dozen local users as I am a global microservices infrastructure supporting millions. I've helped numerous businesses of varying sizes in varying industries get their technology investment right and I can do the same for you.

Recent projects include:

+ Successfully lead, developed and delivered complete greenfield and bespoke web site and back-end web platform for a leading UK children’s charity, forming a core component of a complete brand refresh and redesign.

+ Successfully lead project to develop industry leading anti-motor fraud website, web service, OLAP & OLTP system and data warehouse including one of Europe's largest anti-fraud databases for a Top 40 UK law firm.

+ Successfully designed and delivered market-leading, best-of-breed corporate travel management web & desktop-based product suite for a company who, largely as a result of the technology, were later acquired in a multi-million pound deal.

Technically true, but this is not really about terms of service or about "spoofing identities of non-consenting parties." This is about Google and Amazon not wanting to become collateral damage and lose business in those countries.

Signal is/was connecting to Google or Amazon servers with an HTTP Host header of google.com or souq.com, respectively—and only in Egypt, Oman, UAE, and Iran! Google and Amazon could have easily allowed this or even looked the other way.

So basically censorship worked, albeit not how we thought it would. Sad for people in those countries who were relying on Signal for private communication. Who will stand up for us when we lose ours due to some business decision?

Universal Basic Income (UBI), Friend or Foe?

Most people that know both, find functional languages far easier to read than imperative languages. They are declarative and permit a wider range of abstractions. Operator-overloading is a similar example that comes up for debate, over-and-over again. There are people that simply do not want to learn any new abstractions and are happy to read and write the same patterns/code over-and-over again. The problem for the rest of us, is that we may find ourselves in a position where we have to maintain code written by these heathens.
That's what Perl/Mojolicious does too.

If they enforce it the same way porn websites enforce age restrictions(average age of first porn video use is 11 years)... then it's another case of looking a way at the harm they do while they praise the benefits.
No, I mean right. You have no right to use AWS and thus if they restrict/prevent your usage of said service, on grounds that would otherwise infringe your rights, this is not illegal per se. I might have a right to free speech, but so does Amazon.
Cloudflare's HTTPS certificate is shared, which means that your website will share it with other dubious websites.

I'm looking at a website on which I have Cloudflare enabled and my certificate is being shared with about 24 other domains. For somebody that knows what HTTPS is about and what it protects against, that's not acceptable. We only accepted it because we find it as being a reasonable compromise given the alternative.

So why isn't Cloudflare generating Lets Encrypt certificates, instead of these shared ones? Given their fast response in pursuing other endeavors, my guess is that they need incentives for people to move to their business plans.

Therefore I'm glad that GitHub Pages can have HTTPS enabled for custom domains. It means I can now turn off CloudFlare.

I'm so glad in fact that I started paying GitHub for a $7 account, even though I don't currently have a need for private repos.
The problem is not that your endpoint had side effect. Rather, it didn't have any side effect(it is supposed to unsub, and it does exactly that).

The problem is with lack of authentication. Slack's ability to unsubscribe people on their behalf, without their explicit permission seems to be the real issue here.

Even a "I'm not a bot" check would provide some protection.

the British government and the various police forces don't have a great track record with regards to privacy (e.g. Investigatory Powers Act)

I'd be the first to agree, and I'm generally in favour of stronger privacy protections in law, particularly around government behaviour. But of course governments get a pass on many things that are otherwise restricted anyway, because they just have to whisper the magic words (usually something like "national security") and the carefully written exemptions in almost every piece of privacy and data protection legislation ever written are activated.

Audit logs are an interesting example for sure. But that's a bit vague. Maybe somebody somewhere will sue us!

That's the problem, though, isn't it? These needs are vague and you can't predict when they will arise. Nevertheless, they do happen. In fact, the example I mentioned before happened just this week.

Sounds like you need a lawyer regardless, and a competent lawyer should be able to identify a lawful basis with such strong documentation.

In my experience, having spoken now to several different people who are consulting on the GDPR including some who are lawyers, even they don't know the answers here. They have no crystal ball, and the language is so open to interpretation, and the regulators are so late at providing any guidance, and what guidance they have provided is often so poor that no-one really knows how this is going to play out yet. This of course creates uncertainty that is damaging in itself.
Actually, lemme take that back and I shouldn't be calling someone out like that. So bigger apologies there. Thinking back harder now it could have been understandable.
What exactly is the problem? Amazon does the same as well, I believe.

The private keys are never given to you, or other sites. It is all within Cloudflare’s edge.
/dev/random kinda does but a lot of applications also rely on /dev/urandom which doesn't, which is why it's a problem to some extend.

Atleast from what I know.

It's the hallmark of free people in every age that they have the right to defend themselves.

We've been disarmed, so we're not free. Those who have disarmed us seem to think that the most important thing is that we not interfere with their work, even as we continue to be attacked. Not only that, they will more zealously guard their turf than defend us against aggressors, since we're easy to target and fit within their competence. They will essentially join in the attack to protect their turf.

It's all for our protection, though. We just need to trust them that eventually they really will protect us. Any day now. Just you wait.
