Quatico.com |Fullstack, Backend (Java), Frontend (mostly React), DevOps | Zurich, Switzerland | SALARY: 90k-130k CHF | ONSITE | Swiss or EU member-states passport-holders ONLY Don't get afraid because our website is in German because we hire English speakers for technical roles, too.

This is a well paid opportunity in a high-growth and high-quality team.

We are a true "engineering over management" culture where you find engineers both with formal computer science background and also ones, who are self-taught.

Our CTO worked with Erich Gamma, got offers from Apple, Google and similar firms.

We currently building tailored web apps with heavy number crunching on the server - e.g., we built the software analyzing all the weather data in Switzerland. We do custom development with a heavy engineering part and we regularly impress our clients with software that "just works" and rarely needs maintenance.

Also, we are building a web layer between legacy BPM software and the web. One vertical we are launching soon is a SaaS product for Yoga studios.

People say our interview process is awesome:

1) Phone screen with our CTO

2) Two sessions of remote pair-programming with our engineers (no Google-like algorithmic questions but reasonable pair-programming tasks).

3) Onsite half a day with us.

I'd disagree entirely. I'd argue that I'm aware of how much effort has gone into making the web much, Much, MUCH more convenient and less risky for the average, day to day user.

It's frankly stunning how much the ecosystem has changed just over the last 5-10 years. And I mean that as a developer who works in the security industry with a focus on browsers/extensions. It's ludicrous how much more secure the web of today is over the web of the past.

That said, it's not yet secure. There's always a risk/reward decision for using the web, especially around HOW you - the user - uses the web.

So to make an analogy: The infrastructure in place between root authorities, the IETF, browser vendors, ISRG (Let's Encrypt is just one), and website developers has done a DAMN good job in making the web less vulnerable than it was.

It's a nicely paved two lane road that goes nearly everywhere.

That said, you are interacting with the entity hosting the site you visit, NOT THOSE GROUPS, when you visit a site.

It's your responsibility to make sure you trust that entity, and do your due diligence.

Just like I wouldn't try to drive my crappy 1998 Mazda Protege offroad - It's dangerous and I would be unprepared.

Its your responsibility to make decisions for yourself (or at least I fucking hope it is... that's a fundamental aspect of a democratic society that I STRONGLY believe in). That means living with the consequences.

It can also mean choosing different service providers that are less convenient if you deem the easy ones too risky. If you're not willing to do that (aka: switch away from gmail if you want js disabled everywhere) and you still want to complain... I find it hard to treat you seriously.
I know, right? The only time I encounter Twitter is when others link me to it. I’m okay with that and sometimes I share forward, but I’m not fed a daily stream of tweets. I left google services a few months ago. It was a long weekend of work, but I’m happier than I was before with otherwise no noticeable impact (except the emails that write themselves for you in gmail). I exported all my data from Facebook around the same time but I’m still mulling over how to resolve deleting 10 years of my digital life against my core principle that things I’ve said and done should not be allowed to disappear even if my 30 years future self would look back in disgust.

George Orwell certainly was a successful writer (in the sense that he became famous and sold many books), but not a world-builder. 1984 is a rip-off from Zamyatin's novel, "We".

Ironically, Orwell wrote before WWII that Aldous Huxley's Brave New World (1932) was heavily inspired by We (1921). Then he wrote 1984 (1949) which borrows even more: it's the same story, with more romance and a more mainstream narrating style.

"with unconventional names like Vagrant, Consul and Terraform"
But Kubernetes and Istio are a completely normal names? Welcome to open source, mainstream media ;)
It was Catholic doctrine at the time, and a significant portion of the protestant reformation.

'Luther came to reject several teachings and practices of the Roman Catholic Church. He strongly disputed the Catholic view on indulgences. Luther proposed an academic discussion of the practice and efficacy of indulgences in his Ninety-five Theses of 1517.' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Luther

Now, I am not saying the church selling indulgences from a specific menu of sins > prices was mainstream. But, the idea of good works on earth and specifically giving to the church being a good work was very much so. There are also cases of rather significant donations to the church connected to this idea.

PS: Note, this is about reducing time spent in purgatory, not buying your way into heaven. Purgatory was supposed to be a very unpleasant place, but your stay was going to be temporary either way.

I assume "Show HN" items aren't necessarily news, but just someone showing the community something new that may be of interest. There already appears to be too much flagging around here just because someone doesn't particularly like something. Let's not encourage more.
Have you ever spent some time on your cell phone and then felt this "deep warmth" in your head? I've felt the same warmth after having gone through a "full body scanner".

I've mentioned this to a coworker before and he laughed at me. Then I heard him be on the phone for like 30 minutes and during lunch he mentioned that his head was feeling this weird warmth. I repeated my theory and asked him what are the odds of his phone usage and the warmth being unrelated. I've never seen him not use headphones when being on the phone since then.
There are a few wrappers around system web views in various languages (I've seen Python and Go, at least). The problem is Windows... Apparently only crufty old IE is available as a system default embeddable webview on Windows. Had it been a modern Edge, this would be a viable approach!
And of course it's practised all over. Also in Europe.

Google Walkout: Employees Stage Protest Over Handling of Sexual Harassment
“ -Would you do it over again?”

It depends. I’m a native iOS engineer whos spent a bunch of time doing React native development. I’ve worked on multiple React Native projects that have shipped.

If I was creating a new app from scratch I would hands down use React Native for most projects.

If I was working on an existing native project, (native iOS/Android code base), I probably wouldn’t use React Native.

“Did your team ever rewrite or wish they went native initially?
”

It really depends. 95% of the people using React Native are web engineers and React Native is their first experience doing mobile. Those people don’t regret using React Native.

The people who I’ve worked with or encountered who did regret using React Native are people who’ve used it within an existing native app. These people are usually native engineers with little prior exposure to React or Javascript. I have also done brownfield React Native and I can understand why they would have this perspective.

“- What was the decision to go React Native”

Productivity and cost. It takes a lot less time to ship a cross platform React Native app than to build it twice in kotlin/swift. If you do consulting/contracting work or you are an early stage startup on a budget React Native is a no brainer for most projects. Multimedia projects or games being notable exceptions.

“My initial reaction for React Native is, it is great in the beginning but can cost companies a lot of money and time in the long run (as seen by Airbnb, Udacity, and NextDoor.) Though some big orgs do use it successfully here and there (Pinterest, Facebook, Instagram) throughout their apps.”

All of those organizations have large engineering teams and are doing brownfield (integrating React Native into an existing project) apps. That is most likely not what you are doing.

Brownfield React Native is about 2-3x as hard as building a new app from scratch. I gave a presentation explaining why this is the case earlier in the year at chain React:

You have that control.

You have not lost that control.

Why does this matter in the context of this discussion?

If you choose to visit that news site, you're trusting their web developers. You can always manually go and setup tools and systems to block those 3rd party requests (like I mentioned earlier, an ad blocker is a great first step, because it's easy and automatic). If you're not willing to take those steps...

Don't use the site.
Ummm... where are you getting this idea from? Nearly every field I've worked in, and any NSF funded facility has the requirement to publish and open source the data collected.

I will admit that most telescopes operate on a rolling window of privacy (usually 12-18 months) so that an observer with an original idea can't have their research snatched out from under them, but most will gladly share their data for someone who has doubts or wants to open up communications on reproducibility.

I worked very closely with this field, participating with a similar experiment to use frequent observations of accurately modeled millisecond pulsars to study and detect gravitational wave, and while we did have that rolling window, nearly all of our data was shared far and wide often well before that window was up.

Perhaps LIGO's behavior seems secretive, but they have a multi-national group with hundreds of researchers working on it, so if you're even remotely within the field, I don't see how you can come to that conclusion at all. Their analysis techniques have been public for at least the last 5 years (some of their repos go back at least 7 years: https://github.com/gwastro). Their data is completely available (https://www.gw-openscience.org/data/), and even have an entire series of materials on how they perform their techniques (https://www.gw-openscience.org/static/workshop1/course.html).

I've found Astrophysics to be one of the most reproducible and open fields in science, since it rarely has the same kind of financial motivations that bio-med, minerals and materials science, and even environmental science can have.

It would. A $1 ad-free option would see nowhere close to 50% adoption though.
We've got a lot of impactful projects to work on. It turns out that government systems/technology need a lot of help, and USDS is well-positioned to assist.

When was that cemented as a cause? It appears to be a possibility that can't be discounted, but when was the causation established?

> I think his opinion is interesting

Hence 'entertainment', right?

> when it didn't turn out the way he originally envisaged

Sure but who cares if that is the case? And he didn't imagine and invent the modern web nor did he even popularize it or put much effort into making it what is is today.

By his statements I take it that he is jealous that he feels that he has not played a bigger role in what happened after his 'invention' (which was based on a great deal of work prior to his involvement). Many of us used the arpanet in the 70's not to mention the US Government's involvement. Honestly (and nobody will agree I am sure) if there was no conflict with Russia the Internet would not exist (most likely).

And I am not seeing what he had a vision for any more than solving some simple issue he saw which was:

> Instead, it was hard work, the experience of working in computer science and an attempt to overcome the frustrations of trying to share information with colleagues and students

That is not the web today or even close to it and for that matter it wasn't the web even in 2000 or 1998.

Same one as you. I can email my entire family just as easily as I could tweet them and with fewer restrictions.

Since you have directed this in an uncivil course:
In what reality do you live where "email is to twitter as postal mail is to telephone" is a true statement?
How would you propose testing or verifying a non-falsifiable model? Each sample of future data we have tends to show our models to be simply broken except in the most broad sense of a longterm gradual increase in temperatures. For instance from 2001 and 2010 the warming slowed to 0.11C per decade. [1] For the 17 years before then was 0.17C. There was not a single model that predicted this and, in spite of a number of after the fact hypotheses for that apparent decline, there is still no decisive answer. Does this not kind of bother you?

We might argue that well since they're getting the overall picture right, that they must be fundamentally correct, even if they don't perform so well on the micro scale. But I'm not sure this is a reasonable argument. In particular, the past 400k years of Earth [2] show a very regular waxing and waning of temperatures, with the scale increasing upwards of 10C from the frequently extremely rapid transition from the mins to the maxes. Not only is about now when you would expect to be entering a warming era, but we've yet to even hit the highs of temperatures the planet reached in relatively recent geologic history, though before humans even existed. This is no way suggesting that humans are not contributing to the current phase of climate change, yet at the same time is it really particularly insightful to propose that temperatures will continue to do as they've done for hundreds of thousands of years?

As usual I'm sure people will just downvote this, but I genuinely have no clue why. It's as if its taboo to ask, what I think, are completely reasonable questions. At the same time it's completely kosher to freak out and suggest climate change could imminently end the very species of humankind, which is not a remotely realistic outcome even in the most catastrophic and near 0 probability level outcomes.
