Yes, I found my current job through Vettery. All around great experience, however I think with most of these services it depends on if you get a good recruiter. Mine happened to be fantastic. Roughly 1/3 of our engineering team was also found through Vettery (we are in NYC).
> it's true that there would be more tax revenue without the deduction, it's not obvious to me that money that goes to a society-agreed-upon charitable cause instead of you personally is really part of your 'income' which is what is being taxed.

You pick the cause.

An advocacy group like MADD https://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.summar... is a charitable donation.

Calling it a 'public good' when people specifically disagree with their viewpoint and someone could also get a tax deduction for supporting a different viewpoint is a net loss to society.

I can't see a difference between that and spending the same money on Beanie Babies or whatever.

How did Germany end up with the most robust economy in Europe when it seems like it should have the worst economy since it isn't located in a temperate-climate, it was divided in half for decades and had to reabsorb the poor Eastern half, was destroyed twice, underwent sanctions, etc.? Somehow Germany overcame everything (most of which it brought upon itself of course). Why couldn't France, Italy, Greece, Spain, etc. replicate Germany's success?
Probably using the ES2015 import syntax[1], which allows you to dynamically load modules. I have my doubts whether your average medium+ sized JS app will be that dynamically, so you'll probably end up slurping a whole lot o' module at startup. And without tree-shaking, more stuff to download and digest.

The larger problem with the 2.4 GHz ISM band is the lack of non-overlapping channels along with only one station being able to transmit at a time per channel (in pre 802.11ax). There are only three non-overlapping 20 MHz channels in the 2.4 GHz unlicensed spectrum, where 5 GHz spectrum has about 21 (although some require active radar avoidance).

It seems to be that a currency is a commodity that most countries have to earn in order to use it.

A better way to look at this is let's imagine a world where copper was currency. Today, US copper has the following characteristics:

- Most efficient electric conduction

- Most widely available

- Most widely accepted outside US

- Fair and just producers

Suddenly, a new CEO of US copper Inc comes in and says, we are losing coppers to other countries (disregarding that they bartered something for it).

New CEO implements policies that reduce external supply of US copper. That changes the characteristic of US copper to:

- Still most efficient electric conductor but only locally

- Not as widely available outside the US

- Slowly, causing US copper to not be as widely acceptable outside the US since there's no use for it outside US (vicious cycle of fewer people wanting US dollars and availability of dollars)

- Unfair and unjust producers who use US copper as a threatening and bargaining chip, causing entire countries to starve. This is perhaps the biggest threat to that commodity being valuable.

Would any buyer buy US copper if it risks their populace? Sterling used to be a major reserve a hundred years ago. Its colonialism and world wars went too far and it has eroded so much now. What makes anyone think the US will remain the same?

I don't know about that. They were a royal pain in the 90's if you had a bus of high school students. I remember them grabbing a couple of girls (didn't even talk to them first) and taking them away while not allowing the adult counselors to be with them. That lasted about an hour and the girls were crying when they returned. They also kept a group of buses their for multiple hours. I'm not even sure what they were looking for.

The US side would nod their heads and says there was nothing to be done about it.
Obsession creates time spent by topical activity. If does not create depth of knowledge unless channeled right. Kid won't go far in piano or tennis or math unless having good teacher no matter how obssesed. All those fields are too competitive for that.

That is point where it is approaching mental problem. Most kids, evenovanej those with strong hobbies are fully able to learn other things too.

Also, the competition winning programmers among my peers had wide knowledge in non coding areas. Then again, our environment and camps encouraged that sort of thing.

My experience has been exactly the opposite. Everyone I know who trades out cars every year or so does it because they want the latest and greatest, or just something new and different, not because they can't afford to repair it. The people I know who have more limited means tend to drive their cars until the wheels fall off, and they are pretty familiar with their mechanic. I'm a little too impatient for that myself, I have a fairly low threshold of 'how many is too many repairs' before I dump a car and get something with less hassle.

Isn't it ironic that most of welfare and subsidies actually come from the oil. Stuff like 25km of under sea tunnel leading to a town with sub 2k population is quite a common sight there.

There is Franz, there is Rambox (which seems a bit abandoned because of premium version), there are few another I can't remember.

How is your app better than these? I switched from Franz to Rambox because of support of self-hosted and/or custom apps. Is there a reason for another switch? After a quick look - it looks like you don't support self-hosted apps.

And a bit aside of main topic - I really hope everything will get PWA support eventually. It's much better experience to make an app really an app. Still waiting for Google to deliver their apps as PWA, like promised. I could ditch Rambox then.
I work in QA and I wish more developers thought this way. Also run your code before hand off. Please. If I had a nickel for every time I got a user story or bug to validate and it immediately crashes then I would have a bunch of nickels. Which wouldn't be super helpful, but still. Please at least run your code, or ideally you should have CI/CD with unit tests, but we all know that isn't always the case especially in legacy Enterprise software.
The confusion is also because despite being Alphabet-owned... most of these smaller companies are listed under a Google domain, so people believe they're Google-owned instead of Alphabet-owned.

As a person in the Pacific Northwest (Seattle-Vancouver area) it would require a truly ridiculous amount of money to convince me to live in the SF Bay/South Bay area, and physically commute to an office 5 days a week.

Considering the cost of California income taxes, housing costs, etc.

Vancouver has an insane housing market but it is still possible to buy a nice 2BD condo in a concrete high-rise building for a relatively reasonable price, that a couple with two professional level salaries can afford.

MTLS & Cert Pinning: It looks like GH is out of date? Could you send me a link to the docs for configuring kong + mtls please?

I am sure that kong is deployed in highly regulated industries. Are they using open src version of the product? regardless of whether they are using paid or open src - are they using Kong for user/identity management or a 3rd party service and hooking that in with OIDC?

OIDC/JWT: yes i agree that these options are typically a better but that means I need 3rd party IdP to issue tokens, rather than Kong handling user/token mgmt? My understanding is that Kong does not issue JWTs, simply validates the signature?

OIDC support to my understanding is only avail in Enterprise version rather than CE version? So that means I need community plugin if I want OIDC - and this community plugin will not be supported by Kong?

With JWT - i believe Kong simply validates the signature using the Public Key / Shared Secret. Are these secrets stored encrypted / securely within Kong?

If I simply wanted Kong to handle my user mgmt whether basic auth / api key or I had a legacy system which still required support, then I would need to accept the fact that Kong will store credentials such as usernames / passwords in plaintext?
My response to that would be that if someone remembers differently, they should treat their coworkers with respect and give them the benefit of the doubt if there is no reason why anyone should be skeptical. That is not a good work dynamic if your coworkers are not doing that, and is cause enough for me to start job searching.

If there is reason to believe that there are disagreements in actions to be taken, then messaging everyone to get on the same page is ok. If someone is actively throwing someone under the bus unceremoniously & quickly, then one should prepare an exit strategy & a strategy for working around the problematic coworker as a cautionary step because the spinner could potentially stop at oneself. If it is more than one problematic coworker, then the exit strategy approach becomes increasingly pertinent.

I think it is self-defeating to do other than this approach in general, and far from naive.
I agree with you there. Ideally folks can afford to live where they want, including the bay area.
America will go the way of the once mighty U.K. if the dollar no longer retains it's status as the global reserve currency.

That is, America would shrink rapidly just like the U.K. did when it happened to them.

It is what fuels American growth.

Whether that is a good thing is whether you want the U.S. to be a global superpower or not.
> there is no such thing as achieving results unless you can prove it

That’s not true. Things happen regardless of whether or not they happen within the guidelines of a scientifically designed/valid study.

Students are getting better. Was that correlation or causation? I’m not going to force students to have a mediocre experience to prove it.
To my knowledge, the Surface Laptop is the only laptop that iFixit has ever rated as impossible to repair.

It didn't receive that rating because it was thin and light. The issue was that it was not possible to open the device without destroying it.

>It’s clear that Microsoft never intended for the Surface Laptop to be repaired because it’s a completely sealed device. There aren’t even any screws to take out, so iFixit had to slice the fabric cover open to peel it away from the metal chassis. That’s never going back together. The inner metal shield is also devoid of screws, relying instead upon spot welds and glue. Again, this is probably not going to be reassembled.

>Replacing a defective or worn out battery is one of the most common repairs on laptops, but it’s really not feasible here.

It's not as complicated as people are making it.

Look at the history of civilization and the history of reserve currencies. When Britain had the reserve currency, how did we describe that? It was called the British Empire. When Spain had the reserve currency, what did we call that? It was called the Spanish Empire. Go back for thousands of years, the history of reserve currencies is the history of empires.

Until, supposedly, we get to this great break in history with America's dominance. Which supposedly is not an empire but is based on some superior ideology or system. Is it not remarkable that up until now history was one way, and now the age of empires has gone away. And only America's luck, or ideology, or democracy, or some technical economic bullshit has supposedly created the massive advantages for America and American citizens.

There has not been a break with history. The United States is the most dominant, powerful, and yes brutal Empire the world has ever seen. Reserve currency status has been maintained by rigorous continuous ongoing military campaigns involving both overt, covert and financial means. Libya is one extremely obvious example.

The question is not something like, are we being nice enough, or are we 'leading the world'. The question is can and will any group really take geopolitical action against this domination by force? If and when they think that it is safe enough to do so then they will.

Deep Learning Retreat | Part-time instructor (2 days every 3 months) | San Francisco | ONSITE | Part-time

Side gig for someone who loves teaching and mentoring. Can be on a weekend day, make sure your contract with your fulltime employer allows that. If you don't know deep learning to a level you can teach it but know classical ML, you are good. You are a specialist in one ML domain. You're a good communicator, you're self-sufficient & you're passionate about the work you do.

==Mission==

Take 'Bedroom deep learning' to the next level. Every participant comes out of the door with a portfolio project that has social impact, ideally at scale.

At DLR, we believe (in spite of the hype) deep learning is actually underappreciated. It has more potential to generate an impact than most other technologies. Big companies (Google, Amazon, Facebook, Netflix, Waymo, Uber, Apple, etc.) are ‘killing it’ using deep learning in their products. You hear you need lots of data and computation to build anything remotely useful. This is just not true. You don’t need to be a corporation to have ridiculous amounts of effect with deep learning!

The more we talk to companies interviewing today, the more apparent it is: A portfolio project is decisive when making hiring judgments. Jeremy Howard recommends it. Andrew Ng recommends it. Why? It’s far better at discriminating talent than any other proxy (CVs don’t work; pedigree doesn’t work; puzzles don’t work).

You can read more about our method here:

Why Quantitative Data Is Not Always Enough to Take Product Decisions
Did you work at my former employer? because that is exactly what happened there. No product launched, full k8s and CI/CD crazyness.
People keep saying k8s is so complex and the learning curve is steep but I honestly struggle to see it. The only hard part about k8s is setting up the cluster itself. Using it is so easy it boggles my mind how can someone say it's hard.

It's a simple API with an amazing CLI that immediately solves dozens of issues you would have sooner or later.

Take for example a very simple rails application. I'll keep it simple with 3 routes: manual, automated and with k8s (assuming you're not building the cluster itself).

Manually setting up would require you to:

- Create a VPS

- SSH into the VPS

- Install at least Ruby, NGINX (or some webserver), the DB and all Rails dependencies

- If you want easy deployments you'd probably use something like Capistrano and have to set it up

- If you want the system to be resilient you will have to add some sort of process monitoring and automatic startup

This is very easy to get wrong. One missing step and you're having to manually SSH into the machine and trying to figure out what went wrong.

An automated setup would essentially do everything you did on the manual setup, but you'd have to write that into something reproducible like Ansible, Chef, Puppet or similar. Every single one of these tools has a gotcha and a learning curve and that's on top of all the base knowledge of setting it all up by hand.

Finally with k8s (assuming we're using Google's GKE offering):

- Dockerize the app (which is extremely simple with tons of tutorials)

- Download the gcloud CLI (alternatively it can all be done through the website if that's your thing)

- Create the cluster

- Either create some manual yaml files or just use kubectl to create a deployment for: rails, nginx and the database (again, there are millions of examples of this even on the official docs).

- Create an ingress and point my DNS to the ingress' IP

All of these methods have learning curves and are in many ways complex. However I don't think Kubernetes is a lot different than the others. It's just a different way of doing the same.

* Instead of manually finding out how to setup load balancing and reverse proxying on NGINX, you learn how to use the k8s services.

* Instead of setting up Capistrano (or any other deployment tool) you learn how a k8s Deployment and rollouts work

* Instead of figuring out how to setup L7 load balancing you learn to use k8s Ingress

On top of all that with GKE (or any other managed k8s solution, I presume) you'd automatically have: logging, metrics, scaling, rolling updates and much, much more.

People are resistant to change and it's definitely not an "one size fits all" situation, but as soon as you need anything beyond an amateur website, k8s provides the best ROI. I've had to do this on all of these scenarios and I can confidently say Kubernetes changed the game.

I got a 10 year old Rails application with tons of dependencies from an old dedicated server setup to Kubernetes on a few days (on Kubernetes 1.1 at the time, which was a lot harder) and I'm not some kind of genius. If I can do it, any developer can.
