Bogged down by bugs? Tangled up in legacy projects?

Dealing with issues in existing code saps developers energy and enthusiasm, draining the creativity from your team and slowing you down. Let me help you relieve the pressure by taking over the tasks that weigh down your team so they can concentrate their energies on moving your project, product or company forward.

A longtime Django developer (since 1.2) I have the experience, temperament and tenacity to deal with all the day-to-day distractions you have. I provide a fresh pair of eyes and a willing pair of hands to help you free up resources and get you going.

I work with the typical Django stack: jQuery/Bootstrap, Django/Django Rest Framework, Redis/Memcached/Celery, PostgreSQL, Fabric/Ansible.

For newfangled apps, Vue.js is my front-end framework of choice.

For a detailed description of who I am and what I do, please see:

Thanks for the reply.

From what I understand, Jason was willing to make your guys head of a sub-project. I'm failing to see how this would hinder your development, considering you've probably got your own build and deployment systems anyway. The way you've done it feels like a 'chuck the code over the fence' style of interaction, which again - I can't see any rationale, from a project perspective (imho)
Going to be pretty crazy in the public markets this year...
I didn't think it would work. From my own experiences...

One day when away from the office, I pinned my wifi DNS settings to 8.8.8.8 just to try it out & compare it to the DNS I normally use at home, but then I forgot to undo it. When I got back to the office, the office Intranet was unsurprisingly inaccessible, and I removed the pinned DNS settings. I knew how to solve the problem, but less savvy folks trying out the Cloudflare product might not, which could create some confusion for IT helpdesks.

Cloudflare is concerned with the user experience of people who don't know what a VPN is, and that's why I mentioned it. Normally I would have just tried it & reported the edge case I it exists, but the app isn't usable yet, so I posed the question instead. Judging by the downvotes, I should have mentioned that in my comment above :)

This article is written by a crusader for meat with a clear agenda of being vehemently pro-meat.

She supports the keto-diet, which has no real basis in history or science, the person she cites actively disagrees with her dietary suggestions. She cites inflammation and healing as side effects, but doesn't describe what gets inflamed, where it gets inflamed, or how.

She also makes a claim that vegans and vegetarianism will lead to mental disorder because of this lower DHA claim. Well where's the data that vegans/vegetarians have higher instances of this? Should be easy to produce right?

She even makes the claim that vegetables have no science to prove that they are healthy.

How did this even get onto HN, it's obviously garbage?

In the UK, differentiation and integration aren't taught for GCSE maths (to ~16 year olds, last year of compulsory schooling) [1] but are for AS-level maths (to ~17 year olds) [2]

However, students select which AS-levels and A-levels they want to study; students can drop math entirely if they so wish. And some CS departments will accept such students, putting them through a high-speed remedial math course.

Well, nuclear weapons have been around for 74 years, and there's been either zero or one nuclear war, depending on your definition. So ~1% and ~1‰ chance per annum are both supported by the data; 1% is more likely if you're in the "one" camp and 1‰ if you're in the "zero" camp.

But much more importantly, we've all been discounting the cooling effects of nuclear winter.
Trams are also very popular in Europe and cars can still drive on roads with tram tracks.

Is "LSC" a side-venture of Mediocre Laboratories?
In the expected environment such as large corporations, the desire for an objective (even if bad) metric is driven by the fact because yes, being unable to put a number on it does mean you can't tell if you're improving or not - in every case you'll have some people making points why they believe it's improving and other people making points why it's becoming worse, with the arguments mainly driven by politics; in the absence of such numbers, any claims about a suborganization will be even less reliable as bad metrics - bad metrics can be manipulated, but no metrics means that claims can have no relation with reality at all.

And regarding your latter paragraph, the answer to "Should we continue the system?" depends on what alternative systems can plausibly be implemented for making the same decisions. If the current system causes poor decisions, but the alternatives are even worse (or there are better alternatives which we are unable to implement), then we should keep the current system.

Yes, the whole system would work better if people could just agree on what best needs to be done, and which activities are useful for achieving these goals, but often they can't. Metrics are a solution to a particular problem - an environment with limited trust and plenty of subjective politics, where any non-metric system for evaluating success and assigning benefits will be gamed as well. There possibly can be other solutions, but "simply" not having that problem isn't a solution.

It's too bad that the reactions to this article are so quickly approached as if it's a wholesale indictment of plant-based diets. Maybe it doesn't mean that veganism should be immediately stopped worldwide. Maybe it means there's opportunities to optimize what is already a mostly good thing.

The fact that an individual poster is vegan and, in his opinion, "is fine" is obviously not useful.

The fact that hundreds of millions of people in India are to some extent mostly plant based and are are "Ok" is not useful because a) they are not necessarily 100% plant based and b) what is the definition of "Ok"? They continue to live obviously but who's to say they can't be better? There are plenty of negative characteristics of Indian health - as there are for any population - that could be correlated. If there is a causal link found, maybe it would prolong life and/or life quality.

The assertion that the writer is funded by big meat is not useful. If someone says the sky is blue, the first thing to do is look at the sky to see if it's blue - not question whether or not the speaker is paid by the pro-blue sky lobby.

It's unfortunate to see cultural movements smother science. I'm not saying that this article is science or is even correct science. But until a rational discussion is allowed that even allows such an evaluation we can't know.

I think you nailed it - I wonder how many of those installs are from CI tools.
Steve Garcia in BYTE (1983) had a DIY acoustically coupled modem ($20 in parts )

I was (in the UK) sorely tempted to change a couple of components and get our electronics shop to build a batch for a project we where doing to avoid the huge GPO tax £300 for answer and £650 for answer origionate.

All Illegal of course - though that didn't stop us hacking the modems we did buy to have variable gain.

For information we brought 6 modems (more than my salary at the time)

There's nothing stopping you from writing a Facebook clone. But it won't succeed. Why not?
Well, changing the way people eat is much harder than changing their use of technology. It's not just that it's a larger problem- it's also harder, like you say.

Of course farming uses transport, just as everything else does. But the emissions from transporting food come from transport vehicles. I don't see how these must be assigned to farming. If we reduce transport emissions, we'll reduce all transport emissions, including those from transporting food. If we only reduce emissions from farming we'll still have to deal with transport emissions.

In any case, going by the graphs on this wikipedia article:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_gas#Anthropogenic_g...

- It really looks like a clear majority of total emissions is from energy production, transport and industry.
Everyone is forgetting why big companies do interviewing the way they do. It's the same reason the entrance criteria to elite universities are they way they are.

Last I read, Google has something like a thousand applicants for each position, each level of filtering reduces the amount by an order of magnitude for a position they may or may not fill so it becomes statistically harder than being accepted to Harvard.

Likewise, people practice for these interviews harder than they do for college entrance exams and work on saying the exact things the interviewers want to hear. In essence, the filter is on this particular kind of "grinding" work ethic.
That's not the point of view under discussion. The question is whether there are cognitive differences between men and women. One can acknowledge that there are without thinking that it is these (usually quite small) cognitive differences that are primarily responsible for
behavioral differences.

That being said, I would be surprised if you could find an example of anyone at all prominent or influential on the left expressing in writing the position that you quote.
I've found more success clearly stating the increase I need to stay with the company without submitting reasons why I am worth the raise, except maybe saying that you believe your market value has changed.

I feel like if you start talking up specific points, you create things that can be argued back against and shot down while avoiding the main discussion of how much you are prepared to sell your skills for, and whether the company can pay you that much.

If you're prepared to leave and feel your market value matches the increase you're asking for, make it more of a demand than a negotiation. If you do want to keep this position, don't tell them why you deserve a raise, let them tell you why you don't deserve one, and counter their reasons instead of laying your cards down first.

Not a huge thing, but don't underestimate how much it can change the conversation.
I would argue that's counter to your intended point though. If you go into the E.R. or the hospital, one of the vitals they measure is in fact the number of breaths taken per unit of time. In a normally functioning human we don't have to worry about that metric because it is self regulating. If on the other hand you are in critical condition, measuring your breaths is a very important metric.

So as I've said elsewhere, the problem isn't measurement. The problem is as Deming said "The aim defines the system". Well thought out measures in accordance with clear goals and aims can be valuable. Like anything though, it requires careful consideration and may need to be revised based on outcomes.
Sure. The point is that in languages with grammatical gender, the grammatical gender doesn't necessarily match the semantic gender anyway. (e.g. -chen)
> Living in society today involves having others' political views forced on me every day

Yes to some extent. Most secular and democratic societies has agreed to a standard that I defend. Call it status quo if you want. I think decisions like Djangos goes against that standard and is probably why I feel so strongly about this. They want to police speech and force everyone to use specific words.

I don't think we should police speech but there is a lot of people that are pushing for censorship and making some speech illegal today and I simply defend the usage of the words master and slave. I don't think there is anything political about it and they are not racially charged since masters and slaves has occurred in basically all societies through time. Banning the words because of american politics is absurd. I hate the modern american politics, I am not an american and I do not want it in my life.

By doing this, Django forces everyone to think about this and you have to be extremely sensitive if this is what you go around and think/worry about. What else will they do in the future? Ban people from using Django for certain stuff etc? Surely it would be forked etc, but forks rarely works out great in the long run.

I would prefer Lyft purely because I consider Uber to be a deeply unethical company.
Maybe. Or...

> [a study looked at] the relationship between eighth grade enrollment [in Algebra] and National Assessment of Educational Progress math exam scores at the state level. In short, they didn't find one... [In a different study], they found that early exposure was actually associated with a net decrease in average student math score exams within a given district.

Maybe we're looking at the wrong metrics. Obviously introducing the average kid, whose average abilities change much more slowly than "process improvements," would have a decrease in today's math exam.

Maybe there's something wrong with the exam! And not in the sense of what questions it asks, but more like, who the hell cares?

I know what the answer is, I'm not stupid. But eventually, we'll have to square away the multitudes sitting inside of parent's brains: that they want their kids to actually learn something, while simultaneously having the highest scores / grades / metrics possible. The two cannot be true and honest at the same time.

But the tension isn't learning versus evaluation. It's honest versus dishonest. Under the early algebra scheme, you get a more honest evaluation (students perform worse at harder, more realistic material) and more learning (they're not rehearsing stuff that's easy for them).

The real dynamic is that no one is going to enroll their kids in a school with low test scores.
I’ve used and really liked DataDog in the past. It has some rudimentary ML functionality for anomaly detection of certain fields, but it’s only getting better.

I’ve also had clients in the past use Splunk with ML forecasting models that inject fields as part of the ingest pipeline. I don’t know the details of that implementation; I just know how the dev teams were using it.
Most of the replies here paint the discussion as you against your employer, represented by your manager. In my experience things are a bit more nuanced. Even when your manager trusts you and knows your worth, he often does not have the authority to give you the raise you both agree you deserve. In that context, taking a day off to interview with another company and not hiding it from your manager may actually give him useful arguments when he has to argue for a budget increase so he can give you that raise.
