Construction productivity has decreased over the last 50 years. According to The Economist, one of the largest contributing factors is construction regulations. We bring sanity to the complex ecosystem of construction compliance.

We are able to validate 3D building models automatically and in real time (similar to a linter highlighting errors as you type.) We launched the beta in mid 2018 and have already caught thousands of violations on user projects.

We’re looking for software engineers who have experience with compiled languages and knowledge of or ability to learn some 3D / geometry algorithms.

I have written multiple scientific desktop apps, scientific web apps, written multithreaded and CUDA HPC codes in C++, lots of scientific Python code for low-CPU apps, scientific visualizations in Three.js and D3.js, and I wrote much of boost.math, which you can clone and look at my commits. My boost commits are basically a list of "glue" tools for my projects, quadrature, denoising, interpolators, statistics, so on. Fairly experienced in Eigen for linear algebra.

Little Warden is a small SaaS company looking to hire our first employee to give our UI/UX a refresh

We have a series of small web apps built to help solve a specific problem and whilst our backend work is top notch ( if I do say so myself) our front end work usually consists of taking a bootstrap theme and working around it.

We’d love to have someone on the team who can take a wireframes or concept and turn it into a design and HTML

Curious about this, I had a look at some Tesla camera footage, the youtube video on this site https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-dashcam-autopilot-cameras-fi...

As a human driver I'd say you could drive ok with that although looking into the distance the images are annoyingly blurry compared to what I'd see by naked eye driving normally. Maybe comparable to driving in the rain with so so windscreen wipers.
The standard for correct rules: when two people communicate they emerge at the end with a shared mental model of the subject.

People make up languages all the time. You can write your own rules to make the above grammar be instructions on getting to my village. You could write a different set of rules that make it an order to make my roast duck for dinner. (you can have fun coming up with even more bizarre things that it could mean under some rule system)
The choice to omit any sort of sign-in or account feature for the app is also a very stark difference. Even most apps with the stated goal of improving your privacy requires some sort of account.

While it's true that if Cloudflare was evil, they could fairly likely identify you from metadata, that's a lot more complex and a lot more error-prone than having you sign in.

I am curious though if this will extend to their premium Warp+ offering though, as presumably they need to identify a paying customer. Perhaps if they're entirely built off of IAP on whatever platforms their clients are on, they can avoid this problem entirely?

Awesome tool! Though I'm personally happy to hear compensation isn't weighted based on formal education, I'm not sure I'd f eel the same way if I did complete University... I'm self-taught without a degree, ended up moving from Wales to Silicon Valley when I was 20 and only really felt education was a concern for my first role, and visa. Many of the companies who didn't respond to my application years ago now target me on LinkedIn. It's occasionally awkward when folks asked where I studied, but have gotten used to it now

This was a back of the napkin estimation of accuracy based on some prior experience from several years ago. If you've used sensors with 2cm accuracy and they've performed well I would be interested to know whether they would perform as well if the survey area increased. For example, would they perform as well if the survey area is 10km^2 vs 1km^2 ? Is there a limit on their performance as the survey area increases?

If you are a software developer in any major city in the US and you’re just really good at your bog standard enterprise developer type jobs or yet another software as a service CRUD app developer, you’re already probably in the 80th income percentile. If your goal is increasing net worth, it’s quite easy to live a comfortable middle class lifestyle and still put aside enough to have a couple of million and a paid off house in 15 to 20 years just by putting money in an index fund.

There is really little risk of being long term unemployed as a software developer if you keep your skills in line with the local market and keep your network strong. This is coming from being a developer for the past 20 years. I’m not talking about how much I have personally saved, just how easy it is to get a job or at least a contract. It’s even easier for dual income earners. You can literally save an entire second income or put it toward net worth building.

On second thought, the best “investment” I guess is a working spouse and a happy marriage. Statistics back that up.
Again, I disagree. The owner of the emotional response is fully qualified to judge it. Dismissing this as “not getting it yet” is not something I agree with or let slide.

His own response was annoyance and disappointment with the mechanical approach. He did not experience connection and he did not feel understanding. That’s pretty much the perfect example of empty words vs true connection.
In addition to what has already been said, I think there's a lot of interest in reimplementing command line tools in Rust because there are a lot of useful support libraries for TUI development. Because of the lower barrier of entry (no fussing with build/linker issues to use convenience libraries) you're seeing an increase in people trying things just to try them.
We probably will never run out of oil, because we find new deposits, new ways of extraction, etc. What people have said and are saying is that with the deposits we know of and with current equipment we will run out in X years.
As a vegetarian, I'll testify to that.

Are you an eCommerce company who is looking to save money on hosting through extensive automation?

Working with iOffer[1], an established eCommerce platform, we cut their hosting costs by 80%, while matching the previous hosting provider's SLA. This added up to more than $500,000 per year in hosting cost savings.

Here's what iOffer's CTO had to say about the outcome of our work together:

> “If you point to any particular piece of our infrastructure, Fuzzy Logic has improved it. Everything is automated – all the provisioning, new services. We have a complex setup with all the applications, databases, storage and search servers. Fuzzy Logic set it up in a way that we’ll be able to continue to grow each of the services.” – Ian James, iOffer CTO

As the Principal of Fuzzy Logic, a Seattle-Based DevOps consultancy, we have deep experience in providing our clients with the business results they need through technical solutions:

- Infrastructure deployment
- Code-checking/deploy
- CI/CD
- Best practices for on-premise or public cloud management

Clients who have worked with use have experienced great results, including:

+ Savings in excess of $1.4M/yr through environment-wide migrations from Rackspace fully-managed hardware to a private-cloud Openstack environment

+ A 33% savings from previous OpEx through optimizing public-cloud spend, replacing expensive SaaS products with internal services, etc

+ An 85% reduction in 'time to first commit' for DevOps engineers (going from two weeks to two days) through improvements to documentation and optimizations to the onboarding process

You can read more about the outcomes we've helped our clients achieve through technical solutions here: https://fuzzy-logic.org/page/project_sections/

I'm curious as to how Impossible burger compares on the health impact. I understand that it's plant based, but it seems to be highly processed and perhaps (not sure) loaded with bunch of chemicals and potentially unhealthy ingredients that make it taste like meat.

Hopefully that is not the case and it's not just a meat substitute but is also healthy. Can anyone with more details please opine?
At my last employer, I sat in on an interview for a co-op with my boss. After asking the interviewee some questions the conversation went basically like this:

Co-op: No

Boss: Would you like to know about the company? What we do?

Co-op: No

I generally consider comp numbers on public forums to be a bit like salaries on dating profiles. Even if you're not inflating the number and even if you're anonymous, there's a status drive to "round up", and the ones open to talking about the numbers generally know their numbers are pretty good.

I trust Triplebyte's data to be more representative because it's not one internet identity at a time stating their own number.
> Kitchensoap rightly observes that "this event was very harmful" does not imply "this event was caused by extreme negligence".

What makes negligence extreme? Doing things you have specifically been warned against would be one thing, but there are others, including being oblivious to the magnitude of the risk when, with a little thought, it should have been clear.

The inverse of the above quote is equally valid: not-very-harmful outcomes do not imply that the negligence is not extreme, and it was all the days of operating without big problems that allowed the organization to be blind to the risk it was running, day in, day out.

OP wrote:
>> Clearly Knight thought [its controls] appropriate or they would have fixed it.

But the problem is that it did not think about it, in a meaningful way: it did not have an informed opinion. Every day in which nothing very bad happened contributed to the normalization of deviance. I am sure there were other days when things went wrong, but without the worst possible outcome, and they became just part of the way things are, instead of a wakeup call.
Every programming language consistency is
inversely proportional to the scale of adoption.

And by adoption i mean how popular it is with actual companies using it and pushing delivery over code-quality, with an ever growing pool of junior devs. Adoption as hobby languages or slim startups full of very experienced devs doesn't count.

> PHP
PHP is in usage decline (by the demographic outlined above). So it is getting more consistent (take a look at it during the 3->4->5 timeframe, you will think JS is moving slow)

> [ruby on] Rails
This is even on a steeper incline than PHP today. So expect more consistency i guess.

> everywhere or

Java is always popular (it's the bread and butter of the demography defined above!), and people make money selling IDE plugins (something hard to grasp out of the java world) which accelerates the inconsistency. So it is always a crap shot. A pile of incompatible concepts every time a new senior dev passes trhu the project. Not to mention in the last years every project moved full steam to scala and then back. So every 4yr you can see the same project and not have any idea what is going on because they moved from ant to maven or gradle, or rewrote half (only half) the project in another jvm language, or now every method and class is full of never seen before toolkit annotations, etc.

GoLang started as a nice perl/bash script replacement and is becoming the new web application server as it gains adoption. Which was first bringing consistency and parallelization to what used to be done with perl or bash, is now full of weird ways to manage packages, which are mostly implementation of web authentication and what not.

erlang is in sweet spot. Some bigCo uses it as hiring bait, and there is lot's of smaller companies using it. There still isn't a mass of jr devs pumping out features on erlang projects, so consistency is at an all time high. With frameworks that actually add to the ecosystem instead of flipping everything on its head for silly syntax sugar.

Cpp had a bump in adoption recently because of CND related projects and more focus on ssl and things like that. So the new standard bodies are busy at work churning in new things nobody asked for, but that so far everyone is loving.
About web pack and many others:

I use Vue with several others dependencies. But 0 package managers.

This is mine:

cat js/vue.js js/vue-router.js js/vuelidate.min.js js/validators.min.js
js/vuex.js js/vuex-i18n.umd.js js/translation.js js/vue-moment.js
js/vue-virtual-scroll.js > js/build.js

0 problems. Predictable, not folder with millons of little JS files, etc...
Usually an AST is needed that is void of all syntactic sugar,

That’s how I’ve always see “AST” used, but not the following:

yet can express the required data flows and dependencies so the trivial substitutions/replacements/caching and refactorings can be done at this level.

Is what you describe some flavor of ‘augmented’ AST? Does that have a name other than AST?

> Most secular and democratic societies has agreed to a standard that I defend.

Cool. But that’s your politics, and not necessarily everybody’s, and to have a different political position from you is not inherently morally wrong. We could argue about whether or not the status quo is fine, but that’s not the point - the point is simply that taking the status quo as acceptable is a political position which you’re subjecting others to, and your defence of it to the point of refusing to use software that does not back the status quo doubly so.

Or, in other words, you’re not for getting politics out of software - you’re for getting politics that you don’t agree with out of software.

Yeah I haven't mention this, but my theory also suggest undesirable men may be even less well served if, for some reason, more desirable men also want more sex. If so then they could easily satisfy most of the women -- even if the undesirable men don't want sex as much, sex would unlock more social benefits of "interacting with a woman semi-regularly", and now that they aren't getting any, they also lose that.

If that is the case it would be interesting to know why desirable men have such outsized libidos. Is it that they are choosing sex over other activities because it is more rewarding for them?
