SEEKING FREELANCERS - Remote

Hi, I'm Hrishi Mittal. I run Learnetto, an online education site (https://learnetto.com). I have a growing site with a few thousand developers. I'm working on a new service to offer 1-on-1 coaching and mentoring to junior and mid level developers.

So I'm looking for multiple senior developers who have expertise and confidence in teaching Ruby, Rails, Javascript, Node, Express, Python, Django, React, Vue, Angular, SQL, Devops, AWS and other technologies.

If you have any experience teaching online through blog posts, tutorials, courses or books, you might be the right type of person I'm looking for.

If you don't have experience teaching yet, but do have tech expertise and are interested in getting into teaching, then I'm also interested in hearing from you.

I'm looking to pay anywhere between $100-$200 per hour based on your skills.

This will be highly rewarding work because you will help developers who are starting out in their careers to learn faster and progress quickly.

Please fill in this form with your details - https://goo.gl/forms/fFYHV9bzVHyxE5DR2

If you have any questions, email me at hrishi@learnetto.com

If you're a junior developer looking to improve your skills, feel free to email me.
Heck, I’m at 0 HN points anyway: A male/female difference of 5% on basic criteria seems nothing, especially considering that women are nonstop drama at work when all is good, and are a legally explosive cocktail for up to 38 years if I believe the Kavanaugh accusation. I would never work with a woman anymore, plus the company loses 50% efficiency by hiring them, and then needs to hire an HR department and legal counsel. A company with women is a severely badly managed company.

My site runs on WordPress and sitegrounds, it's very fast. But the learning curve is higher than netlify and jekyll due to having to learn WordPress.

My site has too much garbage content I wrote on it at the moment (in hindsight I wrote whatever came to mind). Half my pages aren't even exactly done yet.

I'm going to focus less on writing opinionated articles, more on useful articles and or tutorials on there or well thought out reflections related to lessons learned.

Short term I'm going fix minor things now, write more useful content now. Long term do a 2ndary blog redesign from scratch, writing my own custom functions.php file.

I have used jekyll,hexo and hugo, but it's really convenient to just be able to download any plugin you want with wordpress. I'd rather focus on writing than site design ,SEO, analytics, integrations, etc.

Also it's nice having a useful skill that always has a market use.

My site is on my userhandle if your curious, would like feedback too.
Docker Security Best Practices: Part 3 – Securing Container Images
Are there any engineering books that have a collection of best practices for internet engineering problems similar to this one?
I find that most of this information is learned colloquially, or through what other frameworks do.
Here Is Why Some Dealerships Aren’t Actually Interested in Selling You a Car
We don't let managers code where I work. We also don't let them do anything technical besides match employees to work they want to do. Your manager is just there to make sure you can focus as much as your time as possible being productive.

I really like this approach, it's extremely bottom up. It's not that I think our managers don't have technical skills. They all have impressive backgrounds as SWEs etc, but this setup is for the best. The alternative at other companies I've worked for ended up with managers who slowly lost their technical skills and essentially fossilized, and couldn't make rational tech decisions, and managers who intertwined their management success with the product and drove it to ruin because they weren't making the best technical decisions for the product.

So please, if you're a manager, stop coding. Manage people, unblock them, make sure they are happy. Empower them to do the coding for you.
I tried it and I couldn't hear it. Are you sure you got the endianness right and it was really a least significant bit?
Four lane divided, limited-access highway. Lanes are 12' wide. Visibility is unlimited. Road is straight as an arrow out to the horizon. Terrain is flat. Diffuse daylight. No appreciable traffic.

Without being told the speed limit, how fast do you go?

Now that you're going that fast, you enter a section of highway that has been annexed by a nearby incorporated town, its speed limit in town lowered to 35 mph, and its only cop sitting out on the highway, clocking cars and looking for speeders to cite for "70/35".

Without the threat of cops, most drivers generally drive at the subjective and situationally variable speed described by Adams in HHGttG as "R1", which is the maximum reasonable and prudent speed for the ambient conditions. When lanes narrow, R1 drops. When fog blankets the road, R1 drops. When traffic gets congested, R1 drops. Everyone already has ample incentives to drive at a safe speed to protect their affordable insurance premiums, their expensive vehicles, and their priceless lives.

In general, the locales that recognize this set their posted speed limits to the 85th percentile of driver speeds in normal conditions. They only ticket people that are clearly beyond the community norms for R1. The locales that want ticket revenue set the speed limits to R0.9 or less, so that everyone is occasionally subject to citations if they aren't extremely vigilant about avoiding the enforcement.

The latter is why not. When there is profit in catching law-breakers, the law will be adjusted to criminalize otherwise normal behaviors.
These remarks don't really address the points I was making.

Firstly, if people want to use it, and pay for it, even small charges at mass scale pay off. Something like twitter doesn't cost a lot to run in particular at unit cost.

If they don't, GOTO 10: "the Internet is hamstrung by overreliance on advertising as a revenue model"

How else do you monetise your service?
It was, actually, from the guy who then tried to sell the tech to Uber and created this massive lawsuit:

Quality and Effort
But they did allow controlled burns, thats what his link says. So you created a strawman in the scientists.

The 1964
Wilderness Act, Tall Timbers Research Conferences, and Southern Forest Fire Lab
research demonstrated the positive benefits derived from natural and prescribed fire.
As a result, national fire policy began to evolve to address both the economic and
ecological benefits of not aggressively controlling, and even using, fire. In February
1967, the USDA Forest Service permitted leeway for early- and late-season fires. In
1968, the National Park Service changed its policy to recognize the natural role of
fire, allow natural ignitions to run their course under prescribed conditions, and use
prescribed fires to meet management objectives.
If you look on the map, there's a small patch of wilderness in the lower 48 (direct link):

https://media.nature.com/w800/magazine-assets/d41586-018-071...

That's most likely the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness here in Idaho, as well as the various national forests surrounding it:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Church–River_of_No_Retur...

There is almost no wilderness left, and what remains is only there because people spent lifetimes working to defend it. I highly encourage anyone who reads this to make a stand in your personal discussions to always choose protecting wild lands over financial gain.

I see the recent attacks on things like the Bears Ears and Grand Staircase national monuments to be sabotage, undermining the decades-long efforts of conservationists:

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/04/us/trump-bears-ears.html

As a native Idahoan I respect opposing arguments but recent trends have gone too far. I heard discussions while growing up that when the national debt reached a certain level, the US government would begin selling off its public lands. So look at who stands to benefit from that and other debts, and you'll see a giant circle of corruption. Meta-level critical thinking is needed now more than ever in these times.
>The fact that Muslims aren't as integrated into European society as they should be is 99% the fault of Europeans.

You're blaming Europeans for not forcing their culture onto immigrants. You're also making the naive assumption that a sizable proportion of immigrants WANTS to assimilate - the truth is that certain groups are simply not interested in assimilating. Why would they be? Foreign customs are hard to learn and - here's the part many proponents of immigration conveniently miss - directly opposed to Western customs.

When you are raised to believe that women are property, for example, and that your customs and culture are biblically justified, and some white idiot welcomes you into his country, provides you with free (to you) government assistance, while you live comfortably in your homogeneous ghetto, don't be surprised if you get laughed it at best, taken advantage of at worst.

And when one side not only denies that any of this is happening, but worse, slanders their countrymen as "xenophobes" for not wanting to accommodate the culture of their home and Homeland for that of ungrateful immigrants, populism suddenly has a very strong appeal.

In the U.S., for example, immigrants vote Democrat. You have millions of people who have called the U.S. their home for generations, and now you have a large group of people flowing into your communities and imposing their cultural values onto you via government. This is not xenophobia - people have a right to preserve their peaceful ways of life - otherwise you are arguing that one culture is superior to another.
Search has been broken and half-assed for a long time. Just look at the last decade's worth of bug reports and suggestions.
Then just get your wallet out to use the ATM in the dodgy neighbourhood and put it away again. You just need your wallet for the ATM in the dodgy neighbourhood.
> The phrase "Open Source" is not necessarily just the summation of the constituent words "open" and "source". "Open Source" is a unique concept with a unique meaning... and the de-facto definition of that concept, is the OSD[1].

The use of the phrase "Open Source" predates the very _existence_ of the OSD by years[1], so it's somewhat laughable to claim that people are "trying to muddy the waters and being intentionally disingenuous" for simply not complying with the OSI's attempt to retroactively redefine the phrase to mean something other than the conventional and obvious meaning.

[1] The OSI was formed in February of 1998. The OSD had been drafted 9 months prior, in mid 1997. If, as claimed, the meaning of the phrase "Open Source" sprung forth from the ether with the OSD, then why, pray tell, is it dead easy to find uses prior to 1997 in which people are obviously referring to the ability to see the source-code and obviously _not_ referring to the ability to exploit it commercially?

For instance, here's a post from 1993 on comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.win32 (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/comp.os.ms-windows.pro...):

> If a developer wants money for shareware,
paying the fee should automatically grant the user a copy of the source
code for their personal use. Restrictions could prohibit modifying and
redistributing binaries, but should allow distribution of "deltas" for
bug fixes, etc.

> Anyone else into "Source Code for NT"? The tools and stuff I'm writing
for NT will be released with source. If there are "proprietary" tricks
that MS wants to hide, the only way to subvert their hoarding is to post
source that illuminates (and I don't mean disclosing stuff obtained by
a non-disclosure agreement). Open Source is best for everyone in the
long run.

Or this email from 1996 (http://www.xent.com/FoRK-archive/fall96/0269.html):

> Caldera Announces Open Source for DOS.

> ...

> Caldera believes an open source code model benefits the industry in many ways.

> ...

> Individuals can use OpenDOS source for personal use at no cost.
Individuals and organizations desiring to commercially redistribute
Caldera OpenDOS must acquire a license with an associated small fee.

I guess somebody should travel back in time and tell them they're "muddying the waters and being intentionally disingenuous"?

Or maybe, just maybe, it's the OSI that muddied the waters by trying to redefine a term to add their own ideological baggage to it.
> I will literally vote against hiring anyone who can't at least handwave why that's true.

I hope you're at least hiring for a machine learning engineer and not a general software engineer to build CRUD apps.

Indeed, Gmail does have a limit, but Google Photos still lets you upload “unlimited” photos on that lower quality plan — which is more than enough for a vast majority of users.

I've began noticing the issues of large-scale cloud storage with the OneDrive fiasco, so I learned my lessons the hard way over there. But unfortunately too many people remain invested in such ecosystems and have no idea of the risks involved...

mySQL needs this as well. We do a lot of pivot style reports for clients and while we have it down to a bit of a science now the resulting SQL is a debugging mess and not terribly efficient. (though it still runs fairly quick)
I watched that one. Made me realize how fascinating Hayao Miyazaki really is, and helped me to understand and appreciate his movies more.

I would say we need more filmmakers like him, but there's something special about being unique in the ways that he is... that I almost don't want another Miyazaki.
So this is defining the random variable not as the ratio but as the implicit function that computes the ratio?

So we are really looking at the density function of the hidden variable X?

For the original problem it feels like the interval constraints on the ratio are causing the issue since they will be inverse. But maybe I am not clear on that...
They can try rebranding and get a clean Glassdoor profile under the new name. You don't even need to change the legal company name or move offices. They will still be a bad company though.
As Microsoft could not guarantee the storage of data stays in India, they'd be ineligible to do such business in India if Indian regulations are kept abreast that no US corporation can possibly guarantee such data remains within the country due to US govt.
At Ondaka we’re all about visual, industrial, intelligence. Our mission is to help our heavy industry & critical infrastructure customers access mission-critical information quickly and efficiently by building intensely visual data management tools and services that empower them.

Why Ondaka:

Using the techno magic of photogrammetry, our platform serves up hyper-realistic representations of sites and equipment as-built and layers them with contextually relevant information. If you’ve never gotten over your childhood love of big machines doing big jobs, but are mature enough to recognize the value that big data brings to this equation, you should drop what you’re doing right now and apply. Having a baby? Text us between contractions! We all have kids and we can help…PUSH! Interviewing for another job? Stand up and walk out, we’re better! Robbing a bank? Call the cops and turn yourself in, seriously what were you thinking?

Have you ever been to a “Foxconn type factory”? I’m not sure it’s exactly the picture you’re trying to paint.
In the UK it's quite rare for people to run a retail business out of their home, I can see why we don't do this but I also have a feeling we miss out on a lot as well.
Why do you think anyone would want to go and work there? One easy way is to lie, but that's pretty unethical.

If the lack of ability to hire hasn't stopped the companies ability to make money, is it really a problem (in their eyes)?
People circle the block in there SUV 10 times, rather than walking, is because there main stream fear media is reminding them all the time that they are at risk of being knifed, or shot or beaten by random criminals all the time. And if there are police patrolling the streets, they are also likely to get harassed and questioned, or even suicided by cop. Sheesh, even security guards have the right to kill you with a choke hold. Drive your SUV to the end of the street, it’s safer.
Thanks! Didn't know python had magic functions so I was really confused.
Taxis are easy to identify - cars with a (usually lit) topper and writing all over them are taxis, the writing doesn't even have to be in a language you understand to be identifiable as a taxi - you don't need to actually be able to read the writing. Other marks like checkered patterns are common, taxis are designed to stand out.

New York City also has green taxis, so it's not anywhere-centric thing.

Depends on carrier availability, but I believe Wifi Calling does this.
I think this theory gets buried with zero thought. It is widely assumed that we are worse off because of social media and mass communication. I don't think this has been even close to being proven correct. People have rose-colored glasses about the past and how progress is actually made. It is never smooth or without severe argumentation and usually violence.

Maybe the magnitude is larger, but that doesn't make it worse. It may make it simply faster.
I disagree with about every single conclusion you've drawn there, but I appreciate that you're willing to be clear and honest about your positions and beliefs. I won't upvote you, but I won't downvote either.
Reality check: tell that to the German border police who are standing on the A93 motorway at Kiefersfelden eyeballing every single driver entering Germany from Austria.

There's more than a whiff of Checkpoint Charlie about the place (portakabins installed directly on what was the motorway surface, concrete traffic calming measures, 5 km/h speed limit, armed police, more police sitting in chase car should anyone decide not to stop, floodlit at night)

I'm sure it's worth it, what with Austria and Germany sharing a fairly long land border which is more or less completely unsecured. Side roads - of which there are plenty - don't get checked much either. <rolls eyes>
