The most common scam call I’ve been getting for the last month is my mobile number on the caller ID, saying they are my carrier and that my account has been locked.
Yes? No? I don't know; I'm not an expert in these matters. It is entirely possible that spending $100k/year per homeless person and still having an increase in the homeless population is reasonable if the costs are staggeringly high and the underlying problems still exist--perhaps even at an increasing rate--that drive people into homeless.

I didn't say that Mr. Rufo was incorrect in his numbers; I said I vehemently disagreed with the proposals he made in his brief campaign. I agree with Mayor Durkan that we need a comprehensive understanding of what the money is being spent towards and the results it is having, something her office is supposed to be working on. But we can't just say "spending is paused until we figure that out." We also can't continue with Seattle being the only government entity spending appreciable money on the problem while surrounding cities and counties cluck their tongues in disdain. This is also the State of Washington's and King County's problem, if nothing else. They should act like it.

One last bit, I did not engage in any ad hominems against Rufo; I called him no names (unless you mean "very conservative," which is a label he adopted for himself in his campaign). I denigrated his policy proposals and related an observer's view of what happened to his campaign.

> Async/await appears to require runtime support, possibly even a modern OS. Wasn't rust supposed to be suitable for writing bare-metal code?

You're probably thinking of Tokio, the library for async network IO, which obviously depends on an OS. The async/await language feature compiles down to basically a state machine and has minimal runtime requirements. I'm looking forward to using it on bare-metal microcontrollers.
It’s all just a matter of preference.

Pretty much Emacs (Spacemacs specifically) for anything once the OS boots up.
I was tech lead for a project that did this, about 7 years ago. C and C++ for all the business logic and core functionality. Objective-C, Java, and Qt for native bits. Worked great and was the obvious solution that allowed for shared code. I don’t see why you wouldn’t do the same thing today. The capability is still there.

I’ve lived through decades of promises of “write once run everywhere” development technologies but they have always come with significant drawbacks vs native applications. Performance, memory footprint, native look and feel, ability to take advantage of os specifics.
Or maybe raw performance isn’t always the most important attribute of a system?
Those are harsh words. Great feats don't necessarily involve discovery or profit.

That’s a strange reply...I never suggested HFCS was different or more harmful than any other sugar, I only mentioned that it contains both sugar that is processed by the liver and sugar that is released into the blood stream triggering insulin.

Although now that you bring it up...if one were to choose it’s probably better to have only a single one type of sugar processed by the liver or released into the blood triggering insulin...rather than both.
"My rent is $1300, I live with one roommate on Russian Hill."

Sorry this pricing is not realistic for other viewers here. A two bedroom in Russian hill for $2600 is probably a passed down rent controlled unit (A decade?). A typical 2 bedroom (without problems / not nice / no parking / 800sqft) is about $4500.

If you are outside of SF and look at prices, remember many people are on rent control. And your best bet is finding someone who is.

in early 2017 we started a project in c++17 (the compilers we cared about, g++ and clang++, by that time supported basically all of C++17 and everything in the library we needed except std::variant). It was a "start with an empty emacs buffer" project so we could start straight there.

The trick was to treat it as a brand new language that happened to have some resemblances to other languages some of us already knew (i.e. C, C++, etc). C++17 is actually a pretty expressive language and pretty fun to program in.

I recognize most people don't have this luxury. Interfacing to the small number of external packages we used involved making modern "cutout" connections to the legacy packages, which actually was worthwhile.

Recent Australian laws make it possible to force Australian companies and individuals to compromise software to defeat encryption. Which could be as simple as getting a boutique update delivered to a device that includes a screen recorder or keylogger, and it doesn't necessarily have to be the messaging app that gets compromised. That isn't really a problem unique to Australia or state level actors. I think apple and Android have some protections against screen recording.
I agree with you, being in the same position. I wonder if the DevOps trend started because of the constant friction between devs and ops. While devs main concern and job is to deliver new features, ops main concern and job is to keep things stable. These different goals caused ops to be seen as an obstacle to dev job. Being the devs close to the business was easy to predict that we would be taken out or at least required to change. I think, we (ops) are mainly the one to blame for the current situation and now we can only adapt or die.

I've always wondered this. When encryption algorithms are broken, we phase them out for new ones. When cell tower protocols have weak encryption we don't seem to do anything about it. I hear that edge and 2g protocols are completely unsafe but there's not even an option in my phone to disable them. What gives?

People get the Seattle tax story wrong. The money was not a problem. USD 250 is a negligible amount for an employee that earns above $100K a year.

The problem is taxing job headcounts regardless the amount. That creates a horrible precedent for any company trying to do business in a city. It's basically telling business owners that the jobs they are creating are not welcomed. It's penalizing the core of what makes an economy productive.

Let's put Amazon out of the picture for a minute. Since the head tax was meant to tax large employers, it's kind of hard to see in the micro context what imposing a job headcount tax actually means. So for the sake of the example let's say that the head tax applied for any business owner (not hard to imagine since implementing it for large employers create precedence for taxing small employers).

Let's imagine that the business that we are talking about is Mommy's Bakery. The head tax in Seattle was the equivalent of telling mommy to pay a USD 750 ransom for her three employees or to fuck off. Mommy is already collecting and paying taxes and fees.

She is employing people that are putting money back into the local economy, but the city feels that the act of job creation is adding to their problems. So they decide that they want to tax those headcounts.

This is more or less the equivalent of you helping a friend or relative with some money and they coming back and telling you, "hey thanks for the hundred bucks, but because I'm gonna get wasted tonight and gonna spend it all on drinks, I'd need 6 bucks more to get back home".

Yeah sure, six bucks are not too much but just asking for them after you gave them a USD 100, it's utterly ridiculous.

This is how the Seattle city employers felt when the head tax was proposed. They already contribute millions of dollars to the city economy in taxes and jobs, but the city still wanted to get more to justify their gross incompetence when it comes to dealing with the homelessness crisis.

Did you try just giving them the option of eating the food you made or going to bed without any food (and following through)? I've heard that works well for European parents, though it's obviously easier said than done.

Also, just not having any of the stuff with Red 40 or whatever in it in the house can probably help - it certainly helps me eat better.

Config blast radius, hardware sizing, networking partitions, disaster recovery, dev/prod separation -- lots of good reasons to have multiple clusters!

As a gut check, most of these reasons apply to AWS AZs as well. If your Kubernetes strategy calls for more than one per region per AWS account, it means that you, organizationally, don't trust containers as much as you trust VMs on AWS. And right now, you're probably right to do so.

If you haven't frozen your credit with the three credit bureaus (whether you were part of the OPM hack or not!) you really should.

Actually from a fraud standpoint Experian was much worse. Whomever hacked OPM was probably a state actor and more interested in the data for other purposes.

Credit monitoring is useless. It just lets you know earlier (maybe) that you have a mess to clean up. What should be criminal is the utter lack of real security/identity validation from banks, financial institutions, the IRS, etc. that causes the mess after these breaches.
Ask HN: Where to look for junior level remote positions?
Hey everyone. To the point: I want to become a good programmer.

This year I went to a bootcamp and spent the rest of 2018 writing full-stack apps for my personal use/development. I've been using Linux on the desktop since 2006, and I am comfortable using new technologies and languages whenever needed. I believe and have been told by people in the industry that I am qualified for a junior or level 2 position as a software engineer. Getting a job seems like the obvious next step to keep accumulating experience, but there are two obstacles:

* I can only work remote, for a variety of reasons, and
* I am not a Western citizen, which I believe disqualifies me from working for companies in the EU or North America.

I am not interested in what the salary might be: what I am looking for is experience and tasks with which to fill my days and occupy my mind. With this in mind, how do you think should I go about finding a 'job' under these circumstances, if its even feasible? I considered opening up shop by myself and offering pro-bono services to local charities/NGOs, but I feel like it would be an inefficient learning environment. Is it feasible to find a full-time 'post' in an open source project? Or does open-source work asynchronously as opposed to having team dynamics?

I don't even know where to begin looking for the answers to my questions.

tldr: third-world citizen wants a remote job, doesn't know where to look, has no prior work experience but is unconcerned with the salary, how to approach this situation?

Thank you

I helped build an e-commerce marketplace, which is essentially a shopping cart system that was used by third parties. We had no idea how to predict traffic loads because we had no idea when one of our customers would run a successful campaign. Autoscaling on google appengine was a lifesaver for us. Our very small dev team focused on building features because we had zero devops and we didn't have to carry a pager.

It was not pointed at you or at anyone; it was a comment about my general experience as an HN user. I didn't realize that your account existed before you replied. My motives and knowledge, including about Africa (a word I personally wouldn't use for a very large and diverse area), are not what you assume; please don't attribute things to me.

FWIW, Western analysts have talked about the problems of Sub-Saharan African infrastructure extensively and for a long time, and the West has attempted to fund it. IIRC, generally it has been found that foreign-built and -funded infrastructure projects fail, due to problems like corruption, rule of law issues, lack of involvement by local communities, lack of understanding by foreign funders, and lack of capacity for maintenance. As an analogy, you can't just drop an infrastructure project on a country any more than you can just drop an ERP system on a company; the company has to be ready, have capabilities, and needs a lot of highly effective consulting if you want a chance of success. The West's prior attempts at funding led to a massive 'debt trap' for many poor countries, making debt relief a major priority (and one that was resolved to a large extent). As I understand it, the predominant view now is that developing local capabilities, including building institutions and functioning government, is a necessary precursor to things like infrastructure. Kenya's problem with the port, on its surface, would seem to be a repeat of the old development pitfalls.
Search is debounced and feels pretty quick. With ~1500 notes the first filtering round can take about 15ms on my mid-2014 MBP, subsequent rounds can reach sub-millisecond speeds depending on how many notes are left from the previous rounds.

Currently there's no real index, and a note's content isn't searched, just its title. I will probably add support for searching the content as well, but I think with fuzzy search too many notes will match.

Anyway if you need something fancy you could also open your notes directory with your favorite editor and perform a regex-search there. No other GUI note-taking app that I've tried gives you this amount of freedom.
