Several billion-dollar businesses have been built doing things that "wouldn't be that difficult".

In this case, I agree that a single VPS is usually enough for most but never underestimate the market power of making things simpler and faster.
Makes sense. Sometimes the kid and I need something to do when it's dark or rainy and other things are closed, and the McDonald's down the road has a play area. Having something at least nominally healthy on the menu (nutrition of the dressing aside) makes going there an easier choice for me.

I can't recall the commands to my text editor. I just look at my fingers to see which keys they hit.
This sort of defeatism isn't helpful. Surveillance technology doesn't sprout up from nothingness; it's built on a culture and a political/economic environment which can be changed.
The most shocking thing is that this could happen apparently without any public discussion or awareness.

There is simply not enough crime in most US areas to justify this.

This should only be allowed in hyper-specific scenarios wherein there is an evident need: airports, borders, very high crime areas, international conferences, maybe around Capitol Hill and White House etc..

And it should be marked / publicized.
How is Cloudflare handling IP allocation here? I might be mis-understanding how WireGuard works, but it doesn't look like there is an official method for IP dynamic assignment.
You could put it in a micro VM in the same VPC as the GKE cluster, and then have a 2019-grade bastion host.
> many companies will not give you more responsibility

You don't get responsibility. You take responsibility.

Of course this is harder in large companies, but it's equally important.

They altered the rules for the H-1B visa program to deal with abuses.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/andyjsemotiuk/2019/01/02/recent...

The slowdown has nothing to do with H-1B abuses or exploitation. Nor is it because the administration "isn't tech savvy."

It's because the current administration was elected with a mandate from their base to stem immigration in all forms. They do not want more immigrants in this country, and are doing everything they can to prevent more people from coming here, staying here, or being allowed to stay here.
If you're worried about social justice/equity, I have great news for you: the SFUSD "joke" created dramatic and positive improvements across student demographics, including (and especially) black and Latino students.

In most districts, private school is often better than public school. This is especially true in California for a variety of reasons (first and foremost Prop 13). You may wish to send your kids to private school (makes sense to me) but from the data I've seen, these changes significantly improved SFUSD's math offerings.

Source: I am on an SFUSD community board and have read up on this a bit (eg https://www.edweek.org/ew/articles/2018/06/13/a-bold-effort-...) but I'm always interested in learning more!

Yeah, would be happy with their 2010-2012 layout for keyboard/trackpad... 2014-2015 for trackpad interface and USB A/C and headphone jack. Modern CPU and 32-64gb ram.

At this point, next laptop may well be a linux box... likely going the same when I replace my desktop later in the year.
On older Intel chips it's possible to remove the ME and have a functional CPU. These Intel systems running Libreboot lack functional ME firmware/hardware.
What low CoL city? Are you counting Austin as low CoL?

I got what I thought was a pretty good low CoL offer as a new grad for $95k base (+maybe $10k-20k bonus?). Haven't heard of people getting such high offers as yours in low CoL areas except for small offices of tech giants
> I don't think your experience driving around Africa gave you a enough information to adequately support your conclusion....you got breadth, but not depth. I, an African, on the other hand, have depth, but not breadth.

That's a great point I had not thought enough about, and I think you are correct.

Certainly your examples of health (disease and sight) sound very positive.

Also examples where NGOs or World Vision or whoever bring in massive quantities of food appear very positive on the surface, though the long term consequences are extremely unhealthy, and just create more of a dependence loop than ever before, until locals are utterly unable to help themselves.

> Donors are helping, but maybe not as much as they think they are (per dollar). It would be great if they would research the org they are donating to to find how many cents per dollar are going to the cause. More transparency in this area is needed.

More transparency is absolutely the key, but I also think it's really important to take a step back and really think about if and how any donor is actually "helping" at all. We in the west have this funny idea that money is the answer to everything and more money = a better life. Certainly it's important to have healthcare and clean drinking water, but after that a lot of times I saw money degrading African society, not making anything better at all.

I'm terrified we'll turn many special countries into "little America" or "little Europe" complete with high cancer rates, stress, 9-5 jobs, pollution, lack of care for our community and neighbors, high crime, rampant greed and inequality ,etc. etc.
> But you can't implement a case insensitive version of O_EXCL in userland.

So leave O_EXCL in the kernel in its current case-sensitive form. In userspace, implement normalization and case-folding as you see fit and pass the normalized, case-folded filename to open(). Ignore any files other programs may create with non-normalized names. Keep an xattr or lookup table with the unfolded "presentation" version of the name for directory listings.
Why the Terminator Doesn’t Bitch About Money, and Why You Shouldn’t Either
Sure but most of the gains for microservices are splitting up large teams into independent teams responsible for sub modules which is much larger scale than most C# applications.
It's a quirk of the American immigration system in general - it's tilted towards family migration more so than skilled migration, especially in contrast to pretty much all other developed countries.

Lyft Drops Below IPO Price in Second Day of Trading
For me, there is no comparison - and I say this as someone with a freezer full of Morningstar Farm veggie burgers and has consumed thousands of that brand in my life. The Meat Lovers burger is basically just a bigger Grillers Prime. Before cooking an Impossible Burger, it looks like ground beef, and the resulting veggie burger has striations and the cohesion yet crumbling nature of a real burger. Both the Meat Lovers and Grillers Prime look basically the same before and after cooking. (So much that my parents affectionately call them "hockey pucks.")
Life in 2039
> There's a small subset of the population for whom meat consumption is some kind of cultural statement

There are actors in the cultural discourse that are already trying to make large scale meat consumption a cultural authenticity issue, especially if you read some of the nativist criticism of the Green New Deal [1]

I don't think that line of manipulation will go away, as it always will have some cultural currency with a subset of the population, but eventually the economics of the meat substitutes will win out, and "real meat" will become more of a special occasion thing, like truffles.

Read the post you're replying to. The problem is lack of accountability, not fads.
Trains are more efficient and less polluting than other transportation modes
Hi pydev22 -- thanks for the response. The immediate need is for ML engineers to take over the code I've been writing so I can focus on connecting with more customers, but we'll certainly need Python devs for broader purposes in the near future. I'd encourage you to apply via the instructions & email address at the bottom of either of the links above if that works for you. Thanks again.
I feel like there's a misreading of the premise of the H-1B program here. If you'll refer to the USCIS website here [0], you'll note that the main prerequisites for the H-1B visa are
a) Educated or Licensed
b) Paid on par to American workers
c) Not impacting the pay of American workers

Upon review, it's apparent that the 'visa for people with skills that the American market doesn't have' argument doesn't fly - the requirements only establish that the visa holder be competitive with Americans. You might be thinking of the 'extraordinary ability' category of visas, which are O-series (instead of the H-series of H-1Bs).

I'm also unclear on your criticism of consultancies - there's no criteria for the job to be STEM in nature, and I don't think it's an extraordinary view to hold that other fields may be technical/specialized. Fundamentally, very very few employees are irreplaceable (for good reason) by someone with sufficient motivation/training.

In defense of H-1 visa holders (especially fresh grads), I'd argue that if you outcompete locals (on even salary conditions) through fairly rigorous recruitment processes, overcoming the lack of local network and cultural/language barriers and survive the lottery cull, then the position has been earned. [1].

Finally, your argument about 'having the time to gauge applications' is absurd. Either the process was working before, or it wasn't. If the program was compliant prior, then extending processing times is fundamentally a violation of due process, and effectively re-interpreting existing law.

Many high-quality burgers have mayo by default. Au cheval/small cheval come to mind. Mayo is useful for adding flavors, and can protect the lower bun from water-based liquid penetration that would weaken the structural integrity.
I highly agree, it somehow just cooks better though and doesn't burn that easily.
ANS Forth does include file I/O as well as blocks. Back when I worked at FORTH, Inc. we all just used blocks.

(also iirc EMPTY-BUFFERS predates ANS Forth, though maybe it wasn't standard then.)
Solar United Neighbors | IT Generalist | Full-time | Washington, DC | ONSITE or REMOTE | https://www.solarunitedneighbors.org

Women, minorities, people with disabilities, and veterans are strongly encouraged to apply.

Solar United Neighbors is a national nonprofit that organizes local communities around the country to go solar, join together, and fight for their energy rights.

We’re growing fast -- really fast. We’re expanding into new states, building new partnerships, and offering new services. That kind of growth requires a great IT infrastructure to help our members and supporters organize and advocate for solar at the state and national level. Your job is to help build the infrastructure that powers our growth.

IN THE FIRST YEAR, you can expect to work on projects that include:

- Work with our Go Solar team to CUSTOMIZE SALESFORCE to support new product lines and workflows, streamline their workload, and increase our ability to report on campaign performance.

- UPGRADE OUR COMMUNITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (mass email, advocacy, event management, donations) to a more effective and flexible system (or systems) and integrate them with both our websites and with SalesForce.

- Work with our Growth team to REBUILD OUR WEBSITES to be more user-friendly, accessible, and effective at engaging our community of solar supporters.

- Work with our Engagement Director to DEVELOP WEB APPLICATIONS that automate the internal workflow for our two major national solar awareness campaigns -- Brews from the Sun and the National Solar Tour.

We’ve gone all-in with WordPress for our websites, so you need to know your way around WORDPRESS (and PHP in general) really well. Most of our core business logic lives in SALESFORCE, so you need to know how to customize SalesForce (custom objects, reports, workflows). Deploying and managing the servers will be your responsibility, so you need to be effective on the LINUX command line. And we have some data analysis projects on deck, so you need to be comfortable setting up DATABASES and writing SQL queries.

Just as important as all those technical skills -- maybe more! -- you need to be a COMMITTED TEAM PLAYER who is ready to shoulder responsibility, find the opportunity hidden in every problem, and build other people up.

Finally, you need to bring a commitment to innovation and continuous improvement. We’re huge fans of applying the LEAN STARTUP model to our work -- building quick prototypes to test our ideas in the real world, collecting data to measure how well those ideas perform, and learning from that data so we can make the next version even better. If you bring data analysis skills, that’s a huge plus. Either way, an “ALWAYS BE TESTING” attitude is required.

You'll report directly to the VP OF GROWTH (me) and work with a committed and brilliant team of communications experts, policy wonks, digital marketers, and community organizers on projects with ambitious goals and aggressive deadlines.

I'm at my local public library which has wifi. It's also how I download new NPM modules, email my client, deliver my work to him, etc. But I do 90% of my work offline at home.
Given that FAANG (+Microsoft) employ close to quarter of a million software engineers and probably represent 50%+ of hiring in a given year, it seems weird to ignore those.
This isn't defeatism. I just think there is a wave coming that's really hard to stop and I don't see anything in the current political structure that's willing to stop it.
I really liked it. At medium doneness, it was like really soft ground meat, and had a pretty beefy flavor, but perhaps a little bit sweeter. I found myself wanting seconds after I finished my burger.

I should note that I have never tasted V1 so I can't compare the two.
AI Fools’ Day: Tech Giants’ Top Pranks
The draw is that you don't have to do a phone technical screen, which is true, but they do still want to have you over for a full-day technical & comprehensive interview.
Your career page link seems dead... because it's missing a .com...
Yes, exactly. Diminishing marginal returns after 8 years.

That said, I really wonder about management - a talented senior dev who can write clean code, is polygot and knows their way around everything, gives good estimates, communicates well ...

I think that might worth more than anything really.

Often tech is more like a sports team where individual contributors matter more than those making other decisions, i.e. coaches.

(That said, there could be a serious market inefficiency here: a spectacular coach may be worth more than great players, it's just really difficult to measure!)

This isn't complicated. Many vegans would prefer to never eat where meat is being served, but recognize the practical reality that if you want business to start providing more ethical alternatives, you need to actually patronize those businesses. So they compromise by providing that revenue, while still trying to avoiding cross-contaminating what they're eating with what they see as murder-byproducts.
there is a real xenophobic movement in the US, people have been persecuted and killed, and now there is a list of companies working with foreigners.
How Lines of Code Made a Rocket Explode
Ask HN: Anyone else seeing 500's from Google Maps?
Google

500. That’s an error.

The server encountered an error and could not complete your request.
I have a strong resume by most metrics, and I used Triplebyte because it seemed like a good method to learn about a ton of small companies I otherwise would never be able to find. (I didn't end up joining any of them, but they were solid 2nd/3rd/4th-choice offers.)

I'm confused about why you think this is irrational. If I find some startup through Triplebyte, and then apply to them, it doesn't seem like a substantially different process than if I applied directly. Once I'm talking to someone at the company, any signal based on how the recruiter found me seems like it should immediately be swamped by concrete observations about me.

If you know a better strategy for next time to find the kind of companies that Triplebyte will connect me with, I'm all ears.
This is true, but those events are few and far between in most cases, and usually publicizing far in advance is a mistake when the work is not at some late stage of development.

I think this was probably one of the better articles I've read about leadership; but then, it confirms most of what I believe.
Lyft, Uber, Pinterest: Are internet unicorns worth billions?
Do they have any data about it? Or blogs or something? I'd be super curious to read thoughts directly from Triplebyte on this, if they have any public material out there.
> which can be changed.

But won't be. GWB expanded the state's powers with the Patriot Act, Obama signed an extension and then a new version of the act when parts expired. When both sides are pro-surveillance and Americans refuse to change the system or support 3rd parties, what change can there be?
A reasonable portion of H-1Bs are from students who graduated domestically (within the US) and found jobs in the US. Their degrees might not have the brand name recognition back home, they might not want to go home for various reasons, etc.
It also gives tech workers unprecedented abilities to fight it. Software engineers need to take social responsibility for what they create.
Does not change the fact that the light source is very close to the observer, and to make it worse higher than the observer. Both are quite bad for detecting the structure of the ground.
