We will jump-start your career:

You'll take a deep dive into Software Engineering and/or Systems Architecture in an early-stage startup. With us, you'll build something people love, from scratch. We have to be truly Agile and deliver in quick, little iterations. We also can't afford unstable code or unreliable systems. We take Software Crafting and Site Reliability Engineering very seriously. You will plan and grow software and systems as if it’s you own company. If you are dreaming of launching your startup in the future, there is no better place to prepare and learn. Your time at an early-stage startup like us will be a unique opportunity to grow Engineering/Ops skills and have fun at the same time.

What you bring to the battlefield:

You know your way around PHP (we use modern, type safe PHP 7.2) and/or (Postgre)SQL. You’ve used your favourite browser's Developer Tools You have installed Linux somewhere once or twice.

Your responsibilities:

Help me design and implement new features and grow infrastructure. Improve our CI/CD pipeline (GitLab). Deploying on a Friday night and actually enjoying the weekend is our end-game. You'll research and implement algorithms from the Machine Learning, Statistics and Natural Language Processing (NLP) domains to improve critical parts of our product. Plan and grow Cloud infrastructure (AWS).

Write me, I'll reply to all messages.
Interestingly, this is shocking close to something we've been building for our internal dashboards. The only slight variation is that we serve the URLs of the JS from one of our backend services over CORS - because we want access to the code for the dash to be subject to authentication, so all our fraud controls etc aren't super easily visible.

So if there's no valid auth, it goes to our `service-dashboard-asset` system and requests a URL for the login app - injecting the script tags into the page, then the user can authenticate.

Then the page refreshes, the auth is present, and it goes to `service-dashboard-asset` and requests a URL for the actual dashboard, and now injects this script tag in instead.
It's more like homeownership. It doesn't need to become your life, but you do need to be aware of the risks and start thinking about maintenance.
Wow! Such a lot of work on top of a mistake which they already figured out, too bad that only in a scale of laboratory room. If EVERYTHING is determined taking quasars from far far away (in time and space) doesn't change anything in the experiment. Back then, the experiment in the laboratory room also was determined. Pop-"science".

Set aside a large chunk of it in some investment/retirement vehicle to provide funds during retirement or should something dramatic happen in your life that you need the money. A personal safety net / retirement fund. If you or your wife's parents are still around you might consider if they will need help in retirement (I know mine will).

Create two funds for the kids for use if they choose to go to college or whatever. Nothing dramatic, just enough to offer aid and support during that part of life transition.

Set aside a fund and find a local cause to support. Something you and your wife might do together. Don't toss all the money at once. Do a monthly or yearly donation and become involved in making the lives of others better. Not just as a financial supporter but as a real life presence that does real work to make a difference.

Take up woodworking or welding or sculpting or painting or something else that involves making with your hands (or whatever you are physically able to do)

Find a new job and be super picky about what you are doing. Try to find something you will be proud to work on.

Not a complete list by any means. But with a little list like this you will be making a choice to better the lives of your family, community, and yourself. You have the potential to be a positive force of good in the world. You will feel good knowing that you utilized your situation to give back to the community you live in.

> representation that is invariant under program equivalence

is this even computable at all (leaving aside the complexity theoretic issues)?
Nope. Because the real world is complex, it doesn't only matter how much surface you occupy but also how much prime matters and energy you need to build a thing, tall buildings need far more powerful concrete foundation and steel than individual houses. Witch means more natural resource used to build them. Also steel and concrete are far less recyclable than wood. Also individual houses may occupy soil surface without destroying it too much, for instance, at least in most part of EU individual houses foundation are only underground horizontal beams with some poles that popup vertically (60-100cm high) from them leaving the rest of the soil natural ground. If tomorrow you destroy the house nature came back on the soil in an year. If you destroy a tall building nature came back (humus in soil) in more than ten year.
"What would that take?"

The quality of primary education in sub-saharan Africa is abysmal compared to the developed world, Sierra Leone included.

I don't know what else is wrong, but not having an educated population is an obvious hindrance towards japanization.

To fix that, you'd probably need to:

* Create a system for teacher education
* Instill a sense of vocational pride in teachers

The most critical part in educational outcomes is often the fact how much the surrounding culture values education. To support the improved infrastructure and operators in primary education an education positive sentiment should be instilled using various public education campaigns, including advertising and using popular media such as TV shows to proactively affect public opinion.

Soap operas (or equivalent popular entertainment) are a really powerful tool to instill cultural shift if you can get all stakeholders to co-operate.

After education is fixed someone should probably invest capital in some industry that can create jobs and wealth. I don't know Sierra Leone so I don't know what that is.

If they have lots of natural resources then a land reform where the ownership is divided among many smallholders often is a great way to distribute and create national wealth. It can also backfire badly if you don't know what you are doing (like in Zimbabwe).
And it's a known biological fact that during teenager years the circadian rhythm is affected and normal sleep is pushed later in the night. Having teens wake up early is literally fighting biology and can't but have negative results on their health, education, socialization, etc.

Does it actually cost 100s of millions to run? They don't seem to be actively developing it or really doing anything with it other than banning all its content.
>Similarly "punishment causes less crime" may be the right level of abstraction if the correlation is there, even if it can't be reduced to physical terms.

If it can't be reduced to physical terms (and there's no free will) it doesn't matter if its the "right level of abstraction" or not.

We have no other alternative but to think of it at whether level of abstraction we're determined to think of it. We don't have a say in the matter for our thoughts on it to matter at all.

(In fact both our thoughts of it and this comment and your responses will also be pre-determined).

>So the future increasing/decreasing in punishment is depend on elementary particles, also the effect of those, but we still can use the higher level explanation if it suit us better.

This presupposes some "us" that can or cannot use the this or that explanation at will. Which is exactly what we assumed doesn't exist.

If free will doesn't exist, then we don't have any say on whether we "use the higher level explanation if it suit us better". We use it or we don't use it as was predetermined by the causal chain of the universe -- not because it "suits" us.
That's a prediction, but why do you think that's how it'll turn out?
You're almost certainly right, I was being a little flippant.

I came into a windfall about a year ago. I found that it's easy to fall in a rut. Having so much money made me feel like that what what other people perceive as the biggest thing about me. I miss the praise and respect that a job well done gave me, that I had while working. After retiring, it's easy to think that, besides the money there is nothing worthwhile about me.

Then there is the question about what to do when meeting new people and they ask what I do? Tell the truth, and I create this weird social dynamic. Mutter “computer programmer” and I've just stunted any possibility of a real longterm connection by not describing who I truly am. Not sure what can be done about this, except say to prepare for loneliness.

The other piece of advice is to get deeply involved in learning something or creating something. I was amazed by how much the feeling of accomplishment gave me happiness and contentment over going to a fine restaurant or buying expensive clothes.

We (Mozilla) store our SOPS-encrypted files in git repos and we don't really get merge conflicts, but that's just because we structure secret files in a way such that two people don't edit the same file at the same time often.

I didn't have access to a specialist in this case but I have used one in the past for something else and he was super helpful for me.

Just the act of vocalising all your thoughts to someone can bring a great deal more clarity to the situation.
I visited a friend of mine when he lived in Astoria ca. 2012-14 or so probably 3 or 4 times, it seemed like a good area and the rent seemed reasonable at the time. He commuted to Columbus Circle and while I never made the trip during rush hour it was not bad at all.
I guess on paper going without sleep gives you some kind of competitive advantage? A company that believes otherwise could bet on giving their workers more sleep and they should gain an advantage by doing so.
Retire? Become an angel investor?
Wait for a market washout. There may be a big one coming. Then, invest it in stocks that increase their dividend every year. But say don't borrow money, or perform some other kind of financial engineering, to cover their dividend. These are the companies that are making money and are proven winners. Then let the money sit year after year after year. Unless something drastically bad about the company's business has changed.

US is weird, you are usually stuck with whatever insurance your employer provides. If you try to buy your own we're talking $500 a month with a $3000 deductible. If your insurer doesn't cover a hospital there is no way you want to end up there. Down that path lies bankruptcy because the hospital will try to charge your insurer an arbitrary large amount who will then just hand it to you and go "Good Luck!"

One time my family was charged $1000 for an ibuprofen for a perforated eardrum at an emergency room. We never even saw a doctor because we waited 7 hours and left. It was faster to get an appointment at our personal doctor the next morning. I can't imagine what it would have cost for a severe problem like a car accident...
Microsoft supports C++ and pre-compiled C# for Windows UI development too.

As a UI dev, I'd much prefer the hot-reloading that you get from Flutter, React Native, and web UI development though. But I still care about battery life and global warming so it can be hard to justify the flashy new stuff for most the UI development I do, which is mostly just list views.

I'm also weary of the post-mortem debugging experience for these higher level frameworks. C++ is nice for this given that usually the OS and UI frameworks are implemented in it too, at least on Windows.

Disclosure: I work at Microsoft.

Currencies don't just undergo inflation for no reason. Central banks create that situation on purpose to discourage saving.
tl;dr

- Use pure functions

- Avoid mutability

- Limit use of classes

- Strive for idempotency

- Use lambdas and higher order functions sparingly, only when they actually simplify the code

- Use generators where applicable

All in all, it's good advice which shouldn't be ignored just because she works at kite.

She should probably go back and proof read the article and fix the code and terminology errors, though.
My two cents:

First, Congratulations.

Second, breathe. Take your time. If you are still stressed about it, talk to someone IRL. It will really help to get the weight off your shoulder.

Third, beware of self-doubt. It sounds contrarian but I see lots of people who have a big win - money, beautiful girlfriend - start to doubt if they ever deserve any of it. They tend to go the "I am not that great. It is just a case of being lucky". And my answer is - You deserve it. You worked for it. You are awesome. Believe that.

Fourth, take your time understanding your options.

> No need for the free will at all.

You're mistaken. Free will is needed to identify who the criminal is in any given situation, ie. who are the morally responsible parties. You can't escape that with the arguments you presented, and you just skipped it to talk about justice, which is a whole separate matter.
Others pointed out that nobody was (uint16_t) -2, or 65534.

But, it turns out this value is, in fact, special in current day Linux as well. It's the default value of the special 'overflow' uid, can be seen/set at /proc/sys/fs/overflowuid.

Apart from some legacy stuff using 16-bit uid's, today it's mostly used for two things

1) In NFS, if mapping a user fails, then it gets assigned the overflowuid.

2) In containers with user namespaces, unmapped users again get the overflowuid.

I worked for one of the largest financials services companies in the world and they STILL use excel to drive their trading activities. They are so large and so complex that it's impossible to convert them because no one completely understands how it all works. They were developed by traders/market experts with no help from IT, for years IT didn't even knew they existed.

These spreadsheets are truly amazing, I've only seen glimpses of these spreadsheets but they were massive, nothing like needed to have servers in the local network cabinet and running cables for keyboard, video and mouse, because you needed 1/2 a Tb of ram in order to open the spreadsheet.
I pay taxes as well... And not less than people in cities, like I was until few years ago...

I do not consider it a luxury but a different development model that may led to a "luxury" life without the need of other's sacrifice.

Consider a thing: we do not produce foods in towns, we (normally) do not have factories in towns so towns live of the shoulder of productive people outside, they can't live without them. In the countryside you suffer without a "countrywide development" but you still survive. In towns you generally have only tertiary sector's workers, no more.
>Okay, but self defense does not necessarily mean firearms.

There is a fundamental human right to defend yourself from physical violence. If there are tools that are used for that task then it follows that one has a fundamental human right to posses tools that give one the means to do so. If the year was 1018 we'd be discussing bows and swords instead of firearms. In 3018 we'll be discussing lasers or something like that. In 2018 (or 1788 for that matter) the tool is firearms.

>Voting is the method for the citizens to control government in a Democracy. Once you take away or impede someone's ability to own and operate firearms, you have hampered their ability to protect themselves in some small or large part, but there are other methods available to them. Once you take away or impede someone's ability to vote, you are affecting their only way to actually affect their own governance. (all the above all assumes legal recourses are considered).

While I understand where you're coming from I think you're wrong because I don't believe there is a meaningful distinction. The union of all fundamental human rights is greater than the sum of them individually and each right is so important in the context of the others that a threat to any one human right is a threat to them all.

>Once you take away or impede someone's ability to own and operate firearms, you have hampered their ability to protect themselves in some small or large part, but there are other methods available to them. Once you take away or impede someone's ability to vote, you are affecting their only way to actually affect their own governance. (all the above all assumes legal recourses are considered).

So is it ok that the government routinely tries to side step the people's right to not be subject to unreasonable searches and seizures and right to due process because people can still vote for a government that won't do that?

I don't think the right to vote is any more important than any other fundamental human right.

Why? It's not exactly a stretch to day that pornography and prostitution are clear signs of the degradation of a society.
> Not only that, but randomness and determinism are equally against the (casual) idea of free will.

I'm not sure that I'd agree. Maybe the layman doesn't think about how to reconcile determinism with their concept of free will, but it is possible. Talking about free will without a working definition is hard.

If free will is: "You are free to make any choices presented to you."

Then it becomes simple to argue that you are in fact making these choices regardless of whether what makes up you is pre-determined. The same you would of course make the same choices, but then it is still you making them. The outcomes and opportunity of the choices is irrelevant.
One does not prevent the other. Companies do talk to their customers but data talks far better and reveals insights that customers themselves don't have.

There's wrong ways to use telemetry, but overall they are positive, especially in large apps where gaining insights on tiny percentages of your userbase is both important and impractical. That does mean Windows, Android, Chrome, Firefox, etc.

It's the same in game dev. You might see through telemetry that 80 percent of your churn is right after one specific quest. Without telemetry, this might not be something you notice, because churn rarely ever talks and when they do they're not accurate.
This is great advice, thank you! Not something that's in the works for the next year or two but long term I think it's a good career move. And I'm close enough (~3-3.5 hour drive) that it's not as huge of a change as moving across the country to SF or something.
From what I heard most new hospitals have gone private room only for triage reasons alone - sure a broken leg isn't contagious but hospital bugs are downright nasty.
First of all, congratulations! I've had a similar situation (with less money) but still, I went through the exact same exercise. You have 2 choices basically, you can keep working or you can retire.

When I say keep working I mean working for someone. Let someone dictate your day, week and year. Some people need structure in life to function properly so if you're one of them, I'd highly recommend you to get another job at another company in order to learn new things. Ideally, you'd study a new position in between so you wouldn't get bored too quickly. Switch to Product, design, or dev for example. You're not chasing for high incomes so that allows you to come in as an "entry level". You seem to be humble so that could fit you well. But definitely look for new challenges since you'll be spending most of your time at work. There's also the entrepreneurial route but I'd put that into the second bucket.

Retirement. Unfortunately, unlike you, I could not simply retire from the 9-5 life. When I say retirement I mean not having to work for anyone. What I would do is to work on my own projects and take a year or 2 to explore different domains and ideas until I'd find something promising I'd be deeply passionate about. Needless to say you'd be learning every day.

In terms of what to do with your money? Here is exactly what I'd do personally. I'd put $5 million into government bonds with a 100% guaranteed return of about 2.5-3%. That would bring you about $150k of passive income per year for the rest of your life (based on inflation rate). That's it! I'd move to a not too expensive place and I'd still have $3 million dollars left. I'd actually split it in 3 in your case. $1 million for each of your kids. For each kid I'd split it like this: 50% into a more aggressive portfolio like stocks, then 50% into bonds. I don't know how old your kids are but the idea is to lock these accounts until they get old enough to understand the value of money. With your million dollar left, I'd buy a new house for about $300-400k. Then I'd leave the rest into a savings account to be used for fun, big purchases, etc.
> Just bump your package version and update. If you do run into any problems, please file an issue!

I have nothing against the package but is this the norm for package development these days to treat people like testers?
I have seen that too. I tend to tell young devs that it's better to work for a company where the CEO has at least some basic grasp or appreciation for your work and doesn't just see you as a cost.
> Is this article about America or something?

That was my reaction too. My wife was in and out of hospital for two years in Drammen, Norway (2015 to 2017), and I never got the impression that her sleep was interrupted. I spent quite a lot of time with her in the hospital and the staff were quiet, courteous, helpful, and kind. They weren't always as available as one might wish but that was fairly rare.
