Several years of software development experience, starting from digital agency work in WordPress and e-Commerce, to building SaaS applications using several frameworks as a remote developer. I also have an interest in computer graphics, desktop software, and parallel programming, which has been useful in professional work for two indie games launched on Steam.

I'm looking for either full-time or long-term contract work in software development, especially if it can fit more closely with my niche.

Is it? I'm a LP2 backer, and agree with you that I want a phone that does not have a browser, or an App Store, or anything like that; however, I do believe that the small set of tools LP2 is planning on coming with (simple directions, ride sharing, alarm, in particular) are pretty much no-downside.

What bothers you about features like these? Or is it the pricetag?
Tricks for writing allocation free code in Unity3D
The stock price drop isn’t exactly surprising. There are heavy losses from last year, another year of tremendous losses this year, and while growth is highly valued there is a difference between losing 5%, 50%, or 90% of revenue in a calendar year.

Snap was certainly overvalued at IPO, again heavy losses and very large revenue growth projections. Each quarter that they missed in their MAU growth and/or revenue growth the stock got hammered. It hit a low and now is rebounding to more sensible levels. If they can get their spending more under control and continue their positive revenue growth they will mature into a solid public company.

The other challenge for Lyft is that it’s hard to find a comparable. For Snap you have twitter and Facebook so you can estimate the costs it takes to run the operation as well as the potential revenue on a per user basis from two publicly traded companies that have both been in the market for a while.

With Lyft what stock would you use as a comparable to better understand their cost structure at scale as well as the proper way to value their customers true LTV?

The stock is still trading well above the last private round. I would consider it entering into true bear territory if it starts trading below the last private valuation. Which is what happened to Snap.

Then that shows you that valuing a stock on future growth especially at the later stages can be quite dangerous as any misstep is magnified.

This is also challenging news for Uber really. Because it has a similar story. Great revenue growth but heavy losses. If anything coming out first was great, they get all of the press and attention. The IPO was a great success internally because they capitalized the company well and given the pop and the receding stock price they didn’t leave any money on the table.

Now that they are public it’s going to be about the long game. Given the heavy drop in price, you would expect this to continue for the next several quarters until after the lock up period when more shares will hit the market. They need to keep hitting their numbers with no negative surprises as well. It’s not crazy to see them get adjusted down 30-50% and have the stock settle into a floor before the fundamentals of the business really take over in terms of valuation.
I really hope Django can provide some front-end integration like Rails Webpacker or Phoenix does. Setting up a smooth SPA and proxy is such a grunt work which always something holds me back when I trying to set up a small project with Django.
The congestion control is less likely on the server side, whereas congestion control on an ISPs network is much more so.
Chargefox | Melbourne, AU | Mid to senior software engineer | ONSITE | https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/1196426058

Full time opportunity for a full-stack developer with expertise in React Native.

ABOUT CHARGEFOX

Chargefox is committed to sustainable mobility. We're Australia's largest open, electric vehicle (EV) network for modern EV's. As part of that, Chargefox raised $17 million to build a network of ultra-rapid chargers to connect major cities across the country, but that's only a fraction of what we do. We have an unwavering focus on simplifying the EV charging experience for everyone - be they drivers, fleet managers, charge station owners, car manufacturers, energy retailers or more.

Our customers can find, use and pay for electric vehicle charging using their mobile. We’re continually adding new stations to the Chargefox network. So far we've processed over 20,000 charging sessions on more than 500 plugs across Australia and New Zealand, dispensing a total of over 165MWh of electricity. That's enough electricity to power the average household for two decades, and we're still growing fast. We're excited!

Our apps are built in React Native, and we're looking for someone to join the team to help. Values really matter (really!), so we’re looking for someone who’s a great fit for these - (Customer Focus, Sustainability, Safety, Transparency, Integrity and Collaboration).

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR

We're looking for someone with a deep expertise in React Native (experts in React or Android/iOS will be considered as well) who will be able to provide both technical leadership for the team and to also deliver features. At the same time you will be working and contributing on a variety of tasks including development and support of Ruby APIs, web applications and AWS infrastructure.
Remember our value on Customer Focus above? We want to see empathy for the driver and their experience along the way too.
We expect you to know how to build scalable and well architected software solutions. We're looking for engineers, rather than coders. At Chargefox, we are big believers in a pragmatic and agile approach to software development. You will be participating in team rituals including stand-ups, retrospectives, occasional pair-programming and on-call support. We are based in Melbourne, so you will be working in our office in the CBD.

SO, WHY US?

A chance to join a growing and dynamic start-up enabling the uptake of electric vehicles in Australia. This is a unique opportunity to be an integral part of something that is of true value to society.
We are fully funded and offer a competitive salary package.
A collaborative and supportive environment that will stretch you, but give you a chance to learn from and teach others.
We'll supply you with a new company laptop (if you need one).

If you think that we sound like a great place to work and you fit the bill, then please get in touch and send through your details.

We look forward to hearing from you.
Is there some rule that the product has to be available for sale and advertised as soon as the code rolls off the production line? Why can't they begin scheduling these things when the code is 90%+ done? It's not going to rust or go stale while marketing gears up, having a completely different business unit driving you're release process is just a recipe for releasing buggy shit.
You can't deliver the car until the last piece is bolted onto it.

There's only so much value in celebrating having the first half of the car put together. It still won't tell you when it's ready to ship. Especially if you've assembled it in the wrong order...
Every public company ever files a description of risks that are then turned by media into "X could implode tomorrow".

You could short Lyft, but do you have enough money to wait out the people that just saw them raise 20 billion?
There’s a slight difference in approach between the Spiderfoot tool and socialscan:

The linked tool uses a common approach which involves retrieving the account page in question and looking at the HTTP status code and text on the page, determine whether the username is in use. This makes it easy to expand it to a large number of sites as long as they have web-based profile pages, but the approach is error prone and not fully accurate (false positives and negatives occur).

socialscan uses a different method of checking (mimicking verification calls) that has to be implemented manually for each platform, but the accuracy of results is guaranteed. Of course this doesn’t work on all sites, but it isn’t dependent on platforms having public profile pages and can be expanded to email addresses as well.
I would definitely support a digital privacy amendment.
Presumably the landlords then don't deny the request... They just make the process horrendously long and complex...

"Please fax this handwritten form to this foreign phone number and then you can collect the key from this office on the other side of town only at 3pm on a tuesday. Oh - now you've shown up we need ID, and we only accept birth certificates."
It's been a while since I've used SqlAlechmy, but I remember absolutely hating it. Like you said, Django's ORM fails above very simple manipulation and even though SqlAlchemy might be better, it was still awful. I found it better to just write raw sql for my few use cases than to dive into page after page of sqlalchemy documentation.
How about both? The QM49F and there is a Dell version,P4317Q, which works well also. You can have multiple (up to 4 inputs) and 1 big screen. It works for me. I also have another monitor connected so I can look at code vertically, best of both worlds. See the other thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19540939
I haven't had any issues with drying eyes any more than usual.

Regarding black blacks, I haven't had any issues that I've noticed, and I do do some minor photography work as a hobby with the monitor. In a dark room at night, I do switch to a different color profile, otherwise the screen is way too bright.
Yeah, I had brain zaps when I tried to go off Remeron. One thing at a time...
I found this hard to read.

You state “I will explain later” a number of times. It would be better to hold off introducing the topic until it is more contextual to the reader. It breaks the flow of your writing.

The text could be broken up into more paragraphs.

You could use some more headings to break up sections:

1. What is a CRDT
2. What problem do they solve and some simple examples.
3. State based solutions
4. Operator based solutions
5. Join-semi lattice
6. Putting it all together.

In your second join-semilattice diagram it’s not obvious that the two blue nodes are being merged into the green.

The pseduo code you’ve included for the g-counter, 2p-set and or-set are quite unintuative imo.

I’m probably not your target audience but I read a lot of academic writing now and I think this could be better.

Content is great though, didn’t know what a join-semi lattice was before hand so thanks a lot!
that graphic is simple and naive

Here is an 60-minute interview, in 1999. The journalist/expert made the same argument as in your graphic, that a software company is overvalued because its market cap is higher than traditional companies

https://youtu.be/VuI-ss5aQU8?t=629

the interviewer literally laughed at how Amazon is overvalued, because its stock price was worth 20% MORE than a real company like Sears. Your graphic uses the same logic as that interviewer did in 1999.
Yeah, Moesif is legit. We're a customer.
For some reason the Indian government feels a suffocating and wasteful Soviet style beurocracy provides all the jobs they need. In fact, their beurocracy makes the Indian economy suffer the death of 10,000 cuts as these myriad small tasks,(permits, fees etc) drain the blood of the economy to the earth.
Try and eliminate one and a furor of gored private interests arises - those who gather these fees and exert control of their little turf.
This is just what the USA threw off with independance in 1776 - and soon the USA took part in their industrial revolution, and so did the UK when they also freed part of their economy from the bemeath royal foot.
India is going to descend into a morass of unfed and uneducated masses unless they find a way.
There are glimmers of hope as segments gather freedom. They should copy China and do China 10 better - will they?
Reference = "A letter from a previous employer testifying to someone's ability or reliability, used when applying for a new job." [0]

What even is your rant about? Managers especially can easily tell your performance, how you get along with everyone, etc. That's the whole fucking POINT of a reference.

It's actually worse than that for RSU holding employees. The taxation event occurs on share release for RSUs, at a cost basis of the price on release. In many cases, that will be the day of the IPO, at the IPO price.

If the share price falls over the lockup period, employees end up owing tax at a share price higher than they are able to sell. Some of that is usually offset by the company withholding some of the released shares for taxes, but the current withholding rate is substantially under most engineers' marginal tax bracket. It amounts to a ~10% extra tax penalty on the share decline.

You obviously know vastly more about security than I do, but I don't understand how a black box with DMA doesn't implicitly compromise the rest of the device, for people whose threat models might include state-level actors — and particularly their shadier bits.

EDIT: Is it just a matter of there being easier/cheaper vectors?

Also, phrasing.
You'd think that if the EV was positive, that no one would buy the IPO, and would instead but a few days/weeks later. Why buy before the dip?
This is flipping the parent poster on their head and then some. The immigration system is supposed to allow a fair and just way for new people to immigrate, _that's it_. There has been (among really stupid internet circles) this concept that demographic replacement is a thing we should all be running around waving our arms over. I believe simple pandering and greed (more than demographic replacement) is a motivation for the immigration law shifts we're seeing today but...

Wanting to avoid a demographic shift is an invalid reason to constraint immigration in my eyes, I find arguments like that to be heavily based in strongly bigoted opinions.
It's definitely not something you'd want to do manually. I'd want to come up with a representation of the layout that lets you run a genetic algorithm or similar on it, and score them on musicality when used to type some representative corpus of text. That's a much bigger research project, though (read: extra insane :D).
Their backwards-compatibility suffered too. What a coincidence.

I think some would argue that you aren't fine if you are on these kind of medications, and "fine" might be an illusion to the patient and their peers.

It’s a gimmick now, but it will undoubtedly included as the killer feature of the next generation of consoles. AMD is the supplier of choice for console hardware, so they likely have no choice in the matter.

Right now plant based meat is well under 1 percent of the meat market in the US and it's realistic it could become the majority within 10 years. Who will get the bulk of that is up for grabs, I invested in a smaller competitor to beyond and impossible which had a much lower valuation but with product I think it's right up there with them. Personally I'm a big supporter of them all

But breaking the terms of the lock up agreement isn't a crime, especially if there's no insider trading involved.

If a Lyft employee quits 2 months ago, and then buys puts on their lockup RSUs, I don't see how this is something the SEC cares about. At worst it's a contractual agreement between the employee and Lyft, no?

To somone familiar with ray tracing algorithms: How much efficiency can be gained in using different (invented in the future) algorithms n' tricks (e.g. The kind of stuff that modern game engines use that didn't exist when CG was in it's infancy) or is real time raytracing purely limited by the hardware (By which I mean in general rather than current hardware)?
Very accessible paper. They took the seL4 kernel, implemented a series of mitigations against timing leaks, and showed that their performance impact is tolerable and less than one might think.

While some of these mitigations have seen common use, their chief innovation is the on-demand cloning of (the majority of) global kernel data and state, which reduces resource sharing and allows the other partition and padded-flush mitigations to work better.

While they acknowledge that doing the same in a larger and differently-designed kernel would be a big undertaking, they also note that the hardware's uneven support and seeming lack of a formal mental model about this topic is unfortunate. Both software and hardware work would benefit from a focused approach in this area.
This is awesome that you have managed to stay vegetarian for 10 years. I have heard the term Pescatarian before but didn't quiet understand it. Is that when you eat fish + veggies?
I think ultimately the price will be determined through government subsidies. Current Meat and Dairy Industry receives massive subsidies (~38$Bn) and the lobbying groups won't appreciate a cut of profits.
I don’t understand that though. I agree that C# certainly could be clearer on the intended purpose of project separation, maybe it could even be stricter, but the default way to build projects in C# is with a high amount of isolation. You can break this isolation, but you have to deviate from the standard. Hell breaking some parts of the project isolation in C# is even quite tricky.

Ironically consolidating your packages cross projects while using NUGET is suggested by standard, but I’ve already shared my views on NUGET being terrible.

Anyway, my point goes something like, if you’re not utilising OOP “correctly” in C#, then why would you be using OOP “correctly” in a language that is even less opinionated about isolation than C#?

I say “correctly” in quotes because I personally like a high amount of isolation in my OOP, but I’m sure not every one does.
Why is the SEC involved, especially if there's no insider trading involved? What if a Lyft employee quit a few months ago, and then hedges her RSUs with puts? There's no insider trading involved, why would the SEC care?
Kolmogorov had to go against a strong political pressure to convince the government to allow him to create a school for mathematically gifted kids.

Also, a large part of Soviet mathematical output came from people who were politically forbidden from getting an official scientific job (and then the Academy of Science was filled with people like Lysenko), and sometimes had to get a manual job. So they did math in their free time, corresponding with each other. Which, paradoxically, probably provided more freedom than they would get in an academic institution: no pressure to "publish or perish", freedom to spend years solving some obscure problem with no impressive intermediate results, true cooperation between the outcasts instead of fighting for a limited number of academic job.

A large part of Soviet mathematical progress was made in opposition to the regime. Or perhaps, to put it more mildly, the system was so hopeless that people didn't waste their time, and organized better mathematical education outside the system. Then they created things like the International Mathematical Olympiad (the first twenty years, it was an Eastern Bloc thing), various correspondence seminars, etc. But this all happened outside the official educational system.
I still hold my MSX dear, protected in a box for future generations. That's how I learned to program, fiddle with memory addresses, and weld broken circuits. 3.5MHz could do a lot, well, sort of, games were pretty cool :-)
I've been to Mondragon which is the biggest co-op federation in the world - at something like 74K people and $25B of revenue. They've been around since the 1950's and have their own banking, healthcare, university, etc.

It seems to be working pretty well and the area seems to have little poverty or wealth - very equal. I believe they do run into the same issues other big co-ops (and any big orgs really) which is after 70 years, the culture (which is so key to good co-ops) didn't maintain, and people in effect took the easy way out which led to the bankruptcy of their biggest co-op: Fagor. Still though, apparently most of the laid-off employees found work in other Mondragon co-ops - pretty cool.

Right, my point was that static typing doesn't seem like a good fit for a library like Pandas, which needs to be flexible enough to handle a wide range of use cases for tabular data where you're cleaning, reshaping, etc. At least not without a total rewrite.

With Flow in JS, how would a JSON library for similar purposes work where you don't know what kind of data it will be and you will be doing a lot of transformations on it?
It's that (c) that I really take issue with, H-1B workers tend to be paid below par and their immigration status being tied to employment greatly lowers their ability to self-advocate. I also (cynical opinion incoming) think that companies target cultures with less emphasis on self-worth when bringing people in on these. I think people should absolutely be able to immigrate on a fair and just basis but I really dislike H-1Bs due to the impact that process has on the immigrant and those around them - I'd rather we all came looking for employment as equals.
