I've been a paid user for about 4 years now, here are my main gripes:

It doesn't have a calendar, so you can't send or accept meeting invites if that's something you need to do.

They keep saying they're going to open source the app when the next version comes out, but development seems super slow on that front, no major app updates in a couple of years.

They have a bridge app that lets you use outlook, thunderbird, etc. and it works great, but the Linux version has been in beta for about 2 years, and you have to email someone to get on the beta list.
Yes, because without appropriate guidance and modeling, people create Hobbesian dystopias. Countries like Finland and even the US are anomalies which need costly, active, intervention to maintain.
Seantis GmbH | Full-Stack Software Engineer (Python) | Lucerne, Switzerland | ONSITE | Swiss or EU member-states passport-holders ONLY

We are a small Python shop in the heart of Switzerland. We mainly develop for governmental, NGO, medical, and pharmaceutical clients. We are not a web-agency however. We generally write applications that solve interesting problems and we avoid one-off code.

We have no regular meetings, are flexible, and try to let people do their work as much as possible. We also control our full stack by developing both front- and backend. Additionally, we configure our own server stack using Puppet and Suitable, our very own Ansible API for humans (https://suitable.readthedocs.io).

If you join us you would primarily be working on OneGov Cloud, our set of open-source web-applications running with our own framework built on Morepath: https://docs.onegovcloud.ch

However, you can get involved anywhere on the stack and you are free to introduce new languages and tools to get the job done.

Also, we don’t do algorithm questions, work samples or any of that. If you’re passionate about your craft and your resumé indicates that you know things, then you’re good. Note that you should at least know basic German.

I am a vegetarian, and consume very little animal fat. My brains works just fine. Generally this article goes against massive amount of evidence that vegetable fats just healthier than animal fats.
Right on. I'm a photographer as well as a programmer, and I've largely stopped sharing photos on Instagram because I don't want to measure my work based on the number of likes each receives, and I don't want the people I care about who "follow" me there to feel the need to like my work. I've watched friends go through their various networks' feeds and mechanically like, react, whatever lest their friends think they're giving them the cold shoulder.

For the same reason, I've come to find using Uber exhausting. Why do I care about my 4.75 (was 4.77) rating? I take taxis whenever practical because I don't want to endanger my rating by making too much small talk or not making enough small talk.

You claimed there were "a lot of cultures". Can you name any more?
If Cloudflare provides CDN services for advertisers, you likely won't see adblocking products from them.
Read a paper: An axiomatic basis for computer programming
Ownership should probably have a vesting period. You could create milestones that must be met to vest X% of the 33%.

They should be spending just as much time on marketing material reaching out to initial "customers", market research etc.
Which businesses succeed without a business plan?
Without metrics, how do you keep your runway open?
More is said when you say less. If you just lead with "I love working here" you will create a lot less resentment than saying "I could have resigned"...

Also - I am not suggesting not to discuss a salary raise early on. I am suggesting not tying that raise to some performance goal. Keep it open...
Thanks for proving my point, your mentality is the perfect example of why I think it's great to stay as far away as possible from PC-people :)
TrafficLand | Software Engineer | Remote | Full Time

TrafficLand builds solutions to distribute live traffic video for media, analytics, and security.

We’re a small, remote-first group with minimal management and good work-life balance. We’re looking to add an adaptable mid to senior level engineer to our ranks to help across a range of projects.

Most of our team is located on the US east coast, but we will consider anyone in the continental US. Minimal travel is required for quarterly team meetings in Fairfax, VA.

Our stack includes Scala, PostgreSQL, Kafka, Redis, C#/WPF and Rust. The majority of our applications are written in Scala and leverage Akka, Play Framework, and Slick. Scala experience is a big plus, but candidates with experience in other JVM languages, functional programming, or actor model will be considered. Candidates should have experience with relational databases and general networking and Linux knowledge. Experience with network video processing and distribution is also a bonus.

Email resume to careers@trafficland.com to start the conversation!
Many people have multiple Gmail addresses (personal, work, etc.), but as far as I know there's no way way too unify them.

In Chrome you need two tabs open and in the mobile app there's no way to default to 'All Inboxes'.

It's a huge pain point.

Southeast USA including: Virginia (Arlington and Dulles), Maryland (Annapolis Junction), South Carolina (Greenville), Alabama (Huntsville), Florida (Melbourne and Indialantic), Texas (Austin and San Antonio), Pennsylvania (State College) and possibly others, all ONSITE. Citizenship is a job requirement.

We do emulators, JIT, hypervisors, stuff similar to valgrind, debuggers, manual disassembly, binary static analysis, parsers, and assembly. We write our own low-level tools, frequently in C99 to run on Linux. We also use IDA Pro, qemu, Simics, JTAG debuggers, gdb, Coverity, KlocWork, LLVM, and so on. Easily transferable skills include those related to compilers, kernel drivers, embedded RTOSes, vectorizing, firmware, VxWorks BSP development, symbolic execution, boot loaders, software verification, concolic testing, abstract interpretation, satisfiability (SAT, SMT) solvers, and decompilers. We work with more than a dozen architectures including PowerPC/ppc, MIPS, ARM/Thumb/AArch64, x86/x64/Intel, DSPs, and microcontrollers. We hire from no-degree to PhD. Common degrees include Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Mathematics.

We don't normally work overtime, and we get paid more if we do. We're never expected to take work home or be on call. Because of the citizenship requirement, there is no chance that the work will be outsourced. Flex-time is fairly extreme; some do randomish hours.

Location hints: Pick Arlington for a car-free life, subway included. Pick Florida or Texas to live in a place with solid gun rights and no state income tax. Pick Florida for almost no traffic or commute, surfing, and a median house price of about $150,000.

Computing Conversation
While it is true the economic sanctions didn't work in NK and Iran, similar conditions worked in former-USSR and they can and will work in China for a simple reason: Folks in NK never experienced economic propsperity and were brainwashed from day one, people in China are experiencing economic bounty and as such are at the moment willing to overlook their government.

The day this economic progress slows down, the masses will turn and hopefully revolt against the system. The only fear is that China is militarily very strong and I believe that Western nations are probably afraid that this may lead to WW-III, but in the absence of that, in the case of China economic sanctions can indeed lead to internal revolt and collapse of the CCP like that happened in former-USSR.

Meh, it's just a fact of the internet. Many sites often turn into an echo chamber and you can choose to either get with it, ignore it, or just get off the internet. This site isn't too bad (compared to say, Reddit) so I stick around despite the flaws.

My high school don't go beyond Calculus 1 (edit to add: this was two semesters and covered differentiation and integration).

That was years ago (pre-internet) and if a student wanted to take other college-level math they were released to take it at the local university campus. Today, I guess online classes are an option.
The real impact of this kind of technology will be when it becomes cheaper and starts to interest the general public.
For the interested:

The NIH's change in requirements to include does/dams largely follows from the finding out of McGill [0] that showed male rats will change their pain tolerances in response to testosterone smells emitted by male researchers. That particular finding invalidated a LOT of pain research from a few decades past. There had been calls for a long time to include female rats in research, but the rodent estrus cycle is very difficult to deal with and control for, hence female absence from most rat studies. Bucks are very pheremonal and will also greatly change behavior when does are around, another confound to experiments. The McGill work was the straw that broke the camel's back and finally forced the change from the NIH.
