Prima Assicurazioni (prima.it) | Milan, Italy | Full time | Onsite and italian language required | Backend/Frontend/Fullstack/DevOps | https://www.prima.it/carriera

We are a team of really smart people working in a very well funded startup trying to disrupt insurance in Italy by using technology as our main competitive advantage. We employ a micro service architecture (10s of them are in production atm), Docker and AWS.

Most of our micro services are written in Elixir, we also have some Ruby, Haskell, Python, Go and Rust in production besides a legacy Symfony 2 application, while on the front end side we are mainly using Elm.

We have a lot of automation in place, we run a pretty comprehensive test suite on Drone CI at every push and every developer can spin up QA environments that mirror our entire stack for a given feature branch (this is made possible by having all of our infrastructure managed through CloudFormation templates). All of this allows us to confidently deploy to production multiple times per day.

Our stack:

AWS (a lot of services), CloudFlare
OS: Amazon Linux
EC2 instance number: from ~30 to ~100: we scale automatically a lot of times during the day and treat our infrastructure as immutable
Infrastructure: CloudFormation + scripts
CD: Drone CI, Docker (dev -> qa -> staging -> production)
Container orchestration: AWS ECS
DB: Aurora MySQL and PostgreSQL, Redshift, ElastiCache Redis, DynamoDB
Monitoring: ELK, DataDog, New Relic, CloudWatch
Team organization: small cross functional agile teams (every team has at least one person for all of these roles: backend engineer, frontend engineer, web designer, qa engineer, devops engineer)
Backend languages: Elixir, PHP (we're phasing it out long term), Haskell, Python, Rust, Ruby, Go
Frontend languages: Elm, Javascript

Stuff that we like:

Micro service oriented architecture
Functional reactive programming
Event sourcing (CQRS)
Actor model
Agile (Scrum)
Domain-driven Design (DDD)

90% margins -> cut prices in half -> lose money?!?
It is loosely related but: let us not forget that we only buy access to games, movies, music, books, and so on. It can be revoked at any time for arbitrary reasons. I would say that the majority of us are too dependent on them. What would happen if Steam, Netflix, Amazon, Spotify etc. revoked your access? How dependent are you on their good-will? Mind you, there have been occasions where your account was deleted because you said something somewhere else that they did not like. I do not know how common is, but it did happen, one too many times.

I prefer having my own, DRM-free local copies.
yeah, 24 hours MAYBE?
you can bet your bottom dollar nobody would ever listen to someone from the other side and perhaps learn something.

One problem with listening to the other side is that most people are so ridiculously misinformed about issues (on all sides), that listening to the average person of the other side is unlikely to make you learn something. You have to actively seek out the smartest people from the other side and listen to them, and that's a lot of work.
I just finished Meditations. I would say he was _very_ world weary, there were many notes to himself about dealing with annoying or frustrating people, and not being surprised at their behaviour. I imagine as an emperor he had to deal with heaps of petitioners spewing absolute garbage and had to try very hard not to lose it.
Curious to hear what those are of you have a moment to expand on it
Of course Churchill was perhaps one of the biggest idea guys of the lot. He did plenty, but he also interfered and had bad ideas a plenty too. Thankfully, he was mostly open to being told to butt out.

The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare (SOE) was a famous Churchill enthusiasm, yet he had many useless impractical ones, that were a huge distraction, too.
They only really persist if there aren't long term dominant parties. Or as opposition parties.
Yeah. New idea every day/week/weekend is tolerable if the exec just drops them in a backlog where they can be forgotten. The real wtf is when your priorities change constantly.
Are there any features of GBoards that would make me want to use it over Wekan (https://github.com/wekan/wekan), which is more of a direct Trello clone?
The lack of boxing/borders make it more difficult for me to separate every piece fast. I don't really like the design.
Fira Code however, I love that.
No. As far as I know, OpenBSD was the first OS with W^X enabled, followed by Windows.

I'd recommend against using weasel-words like "many" if you're going to dump as your source the author of "Courting Disaster: How the CIA Kept America Safe and How Barack Obama Is Inviting the Next Attack."

If what you're trying to say is "The American political right wing has grown to distrust the SPLC," I'd agree, but I'd note it's the same right wing that couldn't seem to find its voice to condemn a political rally where participants shouted "Jews will not replace us" and "Blood and soil," a rally that resulted in the death of one counter-protester due to vehicular homicide.

Given the evidence I see, sadly, it's not the SPLC I'm leaning towards distrusting.
Better said: it's not clear that foreign company crashes in China are a sign that the Chinese economy is "crumbling". One of the largest pieces of their current economic plan is "Made in China 2025": a shift from being a contract manufacturing base to instead be building and manufacturing Chinese designed and branded goods.

I recently toured a municipal heat pump plant. It took cleaned sewage at IIRC 12C, dropped it to 6C or abouts, and the heat was pumped into the district heating network at about 90C.

The plant had 6(?) pumps, each producing 18 MW heat while pulling 6 MW electricity (and also some district cooling). Not CO2 though, each pump had 9000 kg R134a as the working fluid.

Steady Health | Software Engineer & Product Designer | San Francisco, CA | Full-time | Onsite

Managing your diabetes well can be the difference between a long, healthy life and heart attack, cardiovascular disease, amputations, and blindness. Today, diabetes care is based on guidelines that are the same for everyone, regardless of motivation, lifestyle and other individual factors.

Steady Health (https://steady.health) is changing diabetes care by leveraging a new technology and dataset, continuous glucose monitors. These sensors let patients track their levels throughout the day without pricking their fingers with complex equipment. We’re building an entirely new clinic experience that use data analysis to help patients understand how diet, physical activity, and medication is impacting their blood sugar levels.

I’m an experienced founder who previously sold a company to Dropbox. My co-founder is an MD who specializes in internal medicine. I’ve also been diabetic for 18 years so between us we know both the patient, and care side, really well.

We're looking for passionate people with a low ego and a drive to learn. Our first clinic will be in San Francisco and we are currently building out our founding engineering and care teams. The company is backed by top funds and angels including former Dropbox CTO, FBs first female engineer and Head of Data Science at Airbnb.

Come and change an important piece of health care with us, email me at henrik@steady.health and read my story https://medium.com/south-park-commons/the-wearable-that-chan...
This is not at all "how to be a stoic". This is "what it is to be a stoic".

It's nice to say you have to avoid reacting to things outside of your control. But how does one do that ?

Stoicism fails at explaining any practical way of embrassing the teaching. It's strange since they were quite practical people, but you see that a often in philosophy: lots of theory, very few advices for practice.

At least the buddhists suggest meditation as a tool to learn to act instead of reacting, and see things more objectively.

This is not true actually, in some enterprise network your host won't be able to talk to MS directly so there is no way for your machine to send any data to MS.
Depends on how long you're in jail for and if it's Club Fed, or a Super Max.

I'm sure there are tons of people that would be willing to risk a month or even a year in Club Fed for a chance at set for life money.

The calculation is different for everyone.
I think its on purpose to not give too much advantage to downloaders, there was a discussion long time ago, but they still continue with mp3. There are also other not so nice points: https://github.com/kaldi-asr/kaldi/issues/2141
Unfortunately, they exist for both reasons, one of which we want and one of which we don't, and I have thus far not found a good way to disentangle the two.
So we just go around downvoting comments we don't agree with?

Paranoid? Really?

Edit: Also, I asked dude to explain to me. He/she is free to do so, I was genuinely curious. But also, yes, I am cynical when it comes to the Russian mob. I mean government.

I tried improving mdn with examples of window.alert, which is laughable right now, but my PR was not approved because MDN was structured differently than the browser API.

Do you... live in New York? I don't mean to be rude but you say "our" culture can't handle 25,000 high earning employees. 25,000 new high earners would be utterly unnoticed in the sea of Wall St.-ers. Honestly I think it'd improve the high-earner culture here if anything...
Tweek: A Tween Animation Kit for Rust and WebAssembly
The author logic for the header and tabs seems pretty reasonable because the arguments come from ideas from most UI kits around, but after the break the article clearly states a lack of knowledge on git and how github was designed around that.

Thats one take i`d criticize on github design, it does fail to explain how git or github works, but I think the platform was designed as a hub for git users and does great on that.

I think we can agree comparing to other similar plataforms github has the most straightforward design, so much that is used beyond coding. Some people are running communities on it, with colaborative forums using issues and plain text documents formatted using markdown. Its quite remarkable.

The intent of the article was good but as some of us programmers would say: if it aint broke, dont fix it. :)

$500M is literally a check to Bezos.

And it is a backroom deal in that there was no competitive process to redevelop LIC, which would allow other companies and developers to compete with Amazon, as well as no input from city residents and those affected. The NDA is for Amazon's benefit and was clearly done at Amazon's behest.
Ever had a new CTO come in with "ideas" that have already been explored 10 times over by the current staff (that has 50 more years combined experience in the industry) that won't take no for an answer? Instant motivation deflation.

I'm the founder of SpinMeNot and just wanted to give a little background on the service. It's a spun content checker that allows anyone to submit a document and see the likelihood that the document was generated by a content spinner (a.k.a. article rewriter). It then highlights phrases within the input text that are indicative of spun text.

I would appreciate any constructive feedback you have. Thanks for listening...
The core theme of the bible is 'Your life is not (entirely) about you'. There is a danger of focusing too much on self-actualization (although I guess this danger is not restricted to that endeavour) and forgetting that one is also part of a society. Epictetus reminds the reader of this constantly, trying to make one feel at home in groups and alone :)
They don't necessarily ban you from trains outright but ban you from the comfortable trains (the article mentions high-speed trains).

A lot of these punishments seem targeted at the middle class and business people by forcing them to go down a peg or two if they don't abide by the rules. It's making them lose face, which is something very important in China.
Not yet it seems
Smarkets | Full Time | ONSITE (London, UK; now also Downtown LA, California)

We're a modern betting exchange, going technology first to enable proper price competition in a field of fat commissions.

We can - and do - deploy to production several times a day.

Our entire production is in AWS. In fact, Smarkets was the first gambling operator under the Maltese regulator to get permission to run everything in the cloud. We push the envelope where needed and educate auditors when necessary.
