> I'm not a religious person but for me paper books are sacred. I would never mark in a book(…)

You might be surprised by how many religious people profusely annotate their sacred texts. :)

But I see your point: to keep the book undefiled so it can have a long useful life and perhaps even be passed down generations. However the point is utilitarian, not sentimental: the purpose of books is to expand the mind of the reader, and in the age of cheap printing the book can be molded to its reader. When you go back and read a book, you can get a better glimpse of what you were thinking the previous times you read a section, and reflect on whether that position confirmed over time, got invalidated or perhaps became a bit more nuanced.

BuzzHire | London, UK | Local only (remote work is accepted occasionally) | NO VISA SPONSORING

== ABOUT US ==

https://buzzhire.co

We are developing an on-demand staffing platform, focussed on hospitality and delivery businesses (but virtually open to any markets). We basically connect workers and businesses on a temporary basis so they can take temp. jobs.
We've been running our own operations for three years and successfully completed 10,000s of bookings for shifts in London. We innovate and use technology to solve operational issues we face, such as reducing no-shows, predicting latenesses, match the right job with the right people, offer the best pricing, etc. We used data and innovative solutions to address these issues.

We also have mobile applications offering a top notch UX on both sides, we built an internal community to engage our workers so they can connect with each other and share infos. We value flexibility and transparency. Business can book staff the same way they'd book a Uber. We handle payments, payouts, reporting, etc.

We aim to revolutionize the on-demand staffing industry, and we are now opening our platform and our tools to 3rd parties thanks to our experience in this sector, pivoting to a high-growth SaaS business model. Join us to hit this multi billion dollar market!

Hi there. I work at Atlassian. I'll look into this and respond back on this thread. To be completely open, it may be a while before I get an answer since it's just been announced.

For those of you that don't know, Atlassian offers free licenses to open source projects, including cloud and server versions of Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket, and more. See https://www.atlassian.com/software/views/open-source-license... for more info and approval criteria.
Ubiquiti EdgeOS based edgerouters are what I prefer as a greybeard sysadmin type who has dealt with everything under the sun. It's VyOS (Vyatta) based, they are now complying with gpl afaik, and their hardware is really good for the price/performance ratio. The edgerouter-x or lite can be found for ~$99 and is a great piece of gear.

Another option would be your own hardware with pfsense (bsd) or ipfire(linux).

Even further would be your own hardware with linux and write your own nftables or bpf.
To be fair, Metal is more than a "snowflake version of Vulkan". For one thing, it was in production before vulkan, largely to address the issue of OpenGL's overhead on mobile devices, and basically it achieves that goal. Also there are certain things which are exposed in Metal which are not in Vulkan, for instance more control over the tile memory which mobile GPUs use. So it's not as if there is no reason for Metal to exist (of course I would be happier if Apple contributed to Khronos to get those features in Vulkan instead).

But the walled garden approach seems counterproductive here. In the days of Microsoft's dominance Apple made an effort to make windows formats usable on Apple because that meant it would be easier for consumers to switch to Apple without worrying about losing all their stuff from Windows. With regard to applications in which graphics API's are relevant (i.e. games) Apple still has a minuscule market-share, and it seems like they would be well served by adopting the dominant technology. Lock-in only works if you're already winning.

> Does Atlassian not think that incident response matters to companies operating under airgap regulations? Or to large enterprises? Does Atlassian think that smaller companies are spending that much time and energy on incident response to warrant this product? :/

I feel your frustration, but that is not the kind of thought process behind such product decisions.

Usually there's some sort of corporate strategy, and if that strategy says "cloud first" or "cloud only", then there isn't all that much that a lowly product manager can do.

And even if it's not just a matter of corporate strategy, these companies ask questions like "what's the market size for a cloud-only product?" and "what is the market size for an on-premise solution?" and "how much more effort is it to offer both?", and if the second isn't large enough to warrant the effort, there won't be any.

From a business perspective, a hosted Saas/cloud product simply is very appealing (revenue stream, homogeneous infrastructure, no offsite debugging necessary etc.), and the business folks always dream of just getting some kind of certification with which they can reach ever more regulated customers.

“Only” doesn’t seem like the right word to describe extremely effective use of a limited hand. If they hadn’t realized how far the hitherto anti-Russian GOP would go to gain control they’d have had to spend orders of magnitude more money to damage the U.S. as badly as electing Trump did.
Been a while since I left academia, but certainly at the time this would open the door wide for atrocious publication fees as long as quantitative productivity ranking based on Science Citation Index was upheld.

Since the publication fee is covered as direct costs in research grants reimbursed at 100% by the funding authorities, there is no incentive for writers to be price conscious while at the same time being strong-armed to publish in those journals or lose their job.

Grape | iOS Developer | Vienna, Austria | ONSITE, REMOTE, VISA | Full time | € 42k-60k p.a. (including social insurance) + equity

Grape is an enterprise messenger, targeting customers with 3000+ employees in Europe. We are focusing on the on-premise niche, something that neither Slack nor Microsoft Teams covers.

Our iOS app is a fully native app, built in-house with Swift. The app is currently undergoing a redesign, together with the Android app and the web client.

We are looking for an experienced iOS developer who ideally also has some experience with Android development or is interested in learning it. You’ll work closely with all different team members at Grape to to build new features and fix bugs. You will be shipping code to thousands of active users.

We prefer applications from people who are willing to relocate to Vienna. The first months can be done remotely. Remote working days are no problem, we allow a lot of flexibility if you need it (e.g. kids) in a addition to all the benefits that you get by living in Austria (low crime rate, employee protection laws, healthcare, paid paternity leave, ...). We help with Visa and relocation.

1. "What is your biggest gripe with the company?" -- For me, at my current company, this would be exaggerated over-rigidness and glacially slow moving processes (because of checks and emails and re-checks and approvals and and and) when a fast answer/development is required.

2. "How many levels are there in the management hierarchy?" (deep vs flat) -- I tend to prefer flatter hierarchies, which plays into 3:

3. "How much personal freedom do you get?" -- Having more freedom means being more responsible for your work, but also enables you to produce better, faster, more creative stuff. The flatter the company management structure, the better (usually).
I agree but to be fair the editing done by journals does provide some value: Most researchers, in most fields outside of mathematics, physics and computer science, have rudimentary editing skills at best. Many very good biologists I know outright refuse to learn LaTeX, decrying it as a waste of time. Of course this isn’t an insurmountable problem but at least for now there’s a clear demand that journals fill; take a look at manuscripts submitted to bioRxiv. The average quality is a lot worse than CS conference papers or arxiv submissions — not just in terms of text layout and formatting but also for rudimentary language editing etc.
> I think the water you used for rinsing the dishes is recycled in the water cleaning facility.

Which is a process that requires resources that otherwise wouldn't have been needed. A better question would probably be "Is the amount of waste non-negligible?" which I don't have an answer to, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's a lot more than you expect.
The biological hardware for producing hydrogen already exists; green plants make use of an oxygen-evolving complex to split water into oxygen and hydrogen, and the hydrogen then goes on to pump ATP synthase.

However, storing hydrogen is probably infeasible for biology. It's difficult to store hydrogen, even using metal containers without it leaking out, because the molecules are so small.

It's about time. Currently governments fund most of the research, and then constantly have to pay exorbitant fees for every copy of the resulting work. This will also have a tremendous positive effect for the public, Who currently do not have easy access to the work that they're paying for, and in many cases the only stuff they can easily get is quackery or old things. The only thing this is bad for is the Publishers who do not want to adjust to the internet.
Having kids decreases happiness

This is one of those things that can't be "tested", so it is better to be sure before having kids. Personally I've decided against having kids, maybe I'll regret when I am 50, but for now I don't. Fortunately for me, there are enough humans in the planet already, so a few of us not having kids should only have positive impact, at least in the short term.

Deepfakes are coming. Is Big Tech ready?
Here's a technique that works for me:

So, when I close my eyes I can "see" things. I don't know if it's light coming trough my lids or blood vessels or just my mind's eye. I don't know. But what I'll do as a last resource when I have trouble sleeping is to pay full attention to those things and find patterns in them. I even say out loud in my mind like: "oh there's a dog", "a canoe", "a cigarrette".

Then I'm dreaming in no time.

I told my wife and she says that she sees nothing when she close her eyes so, maybe this won't work for everybody.
I would be curious to know about the currently salaries. More than a year back I spend some some on the Matasano challenges, I think I did about half of them, I also read through half of 'Web Application Hacker's Handbook' which was sent to me. When I was at that stage,it occurred to me that I should ask about the salary, and I did that while talking to one of pen testers at Matasano. It was about $150k for the city of New York. This was not sufficient incentive to leave my job, the figure even seemed lower than what I earned if adjusted for cost of living.
1. Who is the most difficult person here to work with, and why? (Who should I watch out for - do they have a bad temper or goto management every disagreement?)

2. What's the biggest technical thorn in the company's side? (This is almost always something basic - like convincing management to buy more storage, or getting everyone to migrate to the newest version of something, or an underperforming vendor with a long contract.)

Both of these tell you about the company, and also about the person's perspective from their role and expected duration.

I've found that the approach of "killing" thoughts sets up an impossible and never-ending conflict that distracts from the goal of trying to fall asleep.

Instead I try to focus on something, e.g. my breath entering and existing my nose or lungs. Then, as thoughts arise I simply acknowledge them and 'let them go' returning my focus back to my breath.

It's perhaps a subtle distinction but it works much better for me than thinking about thoughts as a game of whack-a-mole.
