Trulia | SF | Full Time, On-site

Hi, I talk a lot here about the side business I’ve built, Cronitor, but I’m also the director of Growth Engineering at Trulia.

I would love to hire other product-focused maker engineers to work on growth experiments, personalization, communications and seo. If you’re a maker I can teach you over lunch anything you want to learn about how I’ve bootstrapped Cronitor over nights and weekends to $16k a month MRR.

For communications work, we are using hbase, Kafka, java and data science models to only send emails we think people are likely to open.

For seo, we are doing world class technical seo at the scale of 100 million pages indexed.

On the front end we are building with GraphQL, NextJS and React

I finish my current role on Friday, and start a new one next Monday.

The difference is pretty much 20%.

On why I took it:

* The money is better

* It has more potential for fulfillment

* The money is enough to offset the risk that it won't suit me
Also true. And I've probably been heavily influenced by Stoicism as well, its hard to keep track where the lines are when there's so much overlap between the three.
Implementing a Forth is a great incremental process, all you need is a processor with stacks, registers, and RAM. Words are just lists of addresses. Once you have the base execution routines, e.g. DOCOL, NEXT etc., implementing the rest of the interpreter is easy. It can even be done on a calculator or in-game computer![1]

That seems really low to me. I have friends that work at a dozen or so places all 3-4 years out of school and the range we’re getting is more like 110-140.

Personally out of school I got 85, but got bumped to 110 after 1 year and 120 after 2.

Maybe they’re including 495/NH jobs bringing it down? There definitely is a difference between jobs in Boston/Cambridge, those on 128, and those in the outer burbs.
What is an OKR? Whatever it is, clearly didn't help the author to communicate clearly. ;)
In addition to this, to narrow the scope strictly within software engineering, I don't think too many people on HN would sign an employment contract that states that cash will be paid or equity vested "whenever".

So why the hate for deadlines? Software engineering does not exist in vacuum separated from business constraints like runway or annual budgets. To demand deadlines of your employer but to not be willing to even try to meet deadlines in deliverables seems to me to be a bit unprofessional and disconnected from the underlying business reality. A whole company that wants to shrug off this underlying business reality seems even worse. A series B startup that doesn't meet deadlines might not even be in business in 6 months.
The MSX was also my first computer. I wrote my first lines of code in Basic copying small games from magazines as a 6 year old kid in the 80s.

Hi, I'm the author of the post. The reason I made it is because I've already worked on a ton of other games and I wanted to try something different!

I've worked in the AAA industry for years on many games. Just recently on Doom, I remember that code was so bloated you could open "hands.cpp" and just hold page down for days. I've also released many games on my blog, like close to 40 games on there.

So the main point is just try creating something different. Maybe for you it's not writing tiny code, maybe it's something else that seems pointless but you know you will have fun doing it and at least create something in the end. Trust me, it will be worth it.
LIDAR is really cool. The coolest use I know of is that a man named Steve Elkins used it in Honduras to discover lost ancient archaeological sites a few years ago. If you're interested read The Lost City of the Monkey God, it will blow your hair back.
First, thank you for the first implementation when the app was just 1.1.1.1 Ive been using it for a while.

Not sure if you can answer this question, but are the performance benefits still there in conjunction with utilizing the VPN google uses to encrypt traffic with google fi? This announcement mentions they have 2x the latency in comparison to WARP, but did not mention specifically which google VPN technology (not sure if they have multiple) but I assume something mobile related since this is a mobile application.

If I use the WARP app in conjunction with google fi, am I layering this VPN on top of the 2x latency of google fi, thus slowing down WARP VPN to gain then the other performance benefits of optimized network switching of google fi?

Neither project is open source (that I know of) so it is hard to understand how the implementations overlap or not with one another. I also am not an expert in VPNs so maybe this is not a good question, but I find myself reading Cloudflare's blogs alot and couldn't help but ask.

> The "international" world order isn't international. It's american.

This is a contingent fact that's only true as of the end of WWII. The international world order was British before it was American; it was French (however partially) before it was British - and indeed, French is still an international language in diplomacy and e.g. at the UN. It still was, and is, an international order, ruled by the same sort of basic principles and norms. Of course there are some opportunistic advantages to that stewardship role, but that's all they are - advantages. Nobody would rationally want to upset the apple cart, even though they might physically be able to do so.
Unfortunately, TripleByte is focused on just a few major US hubs at the moment.
Dopamine blockade isn't significantly induced by doses of Seroquel used for sleep. Although it and its metabolites do have action at certain dopamine receptors, lower doses will first occupy other receptors that they have a higher binding affinity for. Its metabolites are partial agonists at 5HT1A autoreceptors that induce downstream release of dopamine, which theoretically reduces the risk of tardive dyskinesia from direct dopamine blockade.

If you're curious about this, Stahl's Essential Psychopharmacology textbook goes into detail about this and is written in a way that some idiot (me) on HN can grok it.

Refactoring is a really tough sell for an OKR. We use OKRs and we have had a couple quality initiatives in the past that were tied directly to OKRs and even then it’s hard to get that work prioritized. At the end of the day as long as users aren’t complaining product is going to index on features and value added. I’ve never been somewhere that would let you make a goal around redoing something that already works (even if it works like shit). I think the reason for that is it’s hard to come up with a key result that can be measured once the work is done — other than “it still works the same”
Let's say "metaphorical".

Immature neanderthals didn't have protruding chins, and neanderthals were not our principal ancestors. But our actual adult ancestors did have bigger teeth and heavier bones than we do, like Neanderthals, and immature ones of them were more like us.

They would better have said "cavemen" than "Neanderthals", but they would have been beat up for that too. I just appreciated them allowing Wrangham lots of column-inches to touch on a broad range of surprising observations.

Can't imagine why NPM needs a "developer advocate", to be honest.
Because there are enough people that don't know their own market value to fill their ranks, I guess.
From what I remember reading a while back, 70% of corn in the US goes to animal feed thus making meat a very subsidized industry transitively. Entire US states' agricultural product won't be needed and can be shifted over to other crops, returned to a more natural state, or used for plant based carbon capture. The best industry has some serious competition which will have massive effects up and down the supply chain.

I swear I've seen someone put a very similar comment on another F35 article, time to scrub HN as a sanity check.
The "you gotta" was the only part of your comment that wasn't a problem! For starters, please don't go on about your "graphic sex fantasy" here. No doubt it gratifies something, but not intellectual curiosity: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.
this is because they want to squeeze every little penny from it. Big AG firms compete on price and we see this, plus tasteless meat. Cheap but tasteless and unethical.
"Developers do not need to be told a minimum to build, they will build what the market will bear because if they underpark their buildings no one will rent units or office space."

The problem with this boils down to

1) That ain't exactly true; in sufficiently-dense cities people will still rent spaces in underparked buildings

2) If you underestimate the demand for parking, it's way more difficult to add parking after-the-fact

I do agree that parking lots are absurd wastes of space, though. They're cheaper than parking garages, sure, but they suck on pretty much every other metric. Parking garages are much more space-efficient, and if every building was built atop a parking garage (even just one or two levels), that'd cut down significantly on both the need for parking lots and the need for street parking.
It would, but I'm guessing they have a very cheap, ~$1 lens filter or glass sheet on those things.

Permanently damaging the camera sensor isn't so cheap or easy to replace. And as many lasers operate in the visible light spectrum you can't block it without worsening the image quality substantially.
I don't fully agree on this notion. Because implicitly doing this is also surfacing the gaps in achieving those targets.

Most okr are dependent on someone else - the Android app guy will not achieve their okr if the API guy is off doing something else. In that way, the whole aspect of goal setting and achieving that is probably more inefficient using an okr structure than thrashing it out on slack (and most likely in a dedicated channel called "planning")
I only speak from personal experiences with the business side of things. It's a combination of despotic upstream vendors, highly addictive products aimed towards children, lack of regulations, abusive working environments, and a general contentedness with profiting directly from the misfortunes of others. I do not believe any corners of the industry are safe from this attitude at the moment, despite the marketing veneer they may put on. And yes, if I sound cynical, it's because I am suffering from burnout at the moment.
> but we don’t segregate them anymore

Except all the places we do (single-gender schools do exist, and even in non-single-gender schools physical education and health are often taught separately).

Also, maybe we should do more of this; there is some evidence in the literature that at some ages educational outcomes would be better with gender segregation if we did things right in terms of keeping equality of resources. Which is of course the sticking point.

> why should we segregate them on the basis of one year age gap

In case it wasn't clear from my answer above, I don't think we should. I think we should group kids by interests and current level (i.e. by what they will be trying to learn) a lot more than we do now.
The article is about avoiding bloat in SCM repos.

Eh, it's a bit of a simplification I think. Certainly the pclntab is consulted in more situations than just application crash; for example, when logging, you can have a source line prepended to the beginning of the line, which certainly uses the pclntab. I would be pretty surprised if there weren't a lot of other cases where the pclntab is consulted.

I for one love video games. When done right, they are my favorite art form.

I am "anti" any game that uses psychological tricks to get me to keep playing. And for stuff like Celeste, Gris, and Hellblade and Portal that keep me engaged by providing an inherently fulfilling experience.
Hi, I'm the author of the post. I actually am an indie dev myself and have many smallish games as well as worked in AAA for years.

I think indie developers tend to get it right more often, but anyone can fall into the wrong approach of over-complicating their games with needless features that actually detract from the fun.

Like take for example RDR2. Imagine if instead of having all those silly mini-games, they just polished the core combat and movement mechanics more. That's the game I want to play.

I guess I was trying to say a few things with this post, but one big part is that removing stuff from a game and making it simpler is often better then adding more stuff. I talk much more about that in my epic js1k post coming soon!

Why doesn't it count as fraud? It's misrepresenting the truth in the context of a business transaction for your monetary gain and their monetary loss.

Is the deal that Getty doesn't know for sure that they don't own the rights, and therefore it doesn't legally count as deliberate / knowing deception?

Or is it that Getty says "You can buy a license from us" but does not say "We own the copyright for this" or "We are the exclusive licensors of the copyright for this," so they're not actually lying?
I like that comparison!

One caveat, though: the identity of chemicals needs to be pretty carefully defined. Especially any time chiral things are involved, naturally-derived things are much more likely to be a pure enantiomer or close to it while artificial synthesis is more likely to produce racemates unless you are very careful.
Do you think great artists make things that are fun to make, or do you think they really just try to make stuff that other people will enjoy?
considering the number of flags for Go already, that seems the sensible option :)

even in docker-and-microservice-land, though, there's a cost to having an extra 10-50Mb of executable to copy around the place... I'm nowhere near experienced enough in that to work out if that counter-acts the gains on initialisation speed, though.

I’m not anti-games, but as I went through college and then started working full time I found I first ran out of time for games and later had lost most of my interest. Now a days I feel like I get more value from exercising, socializing (which can include playing games on the same tv!), or need to do other things (chores, projects), so I can see where the sentiment that games are “a waste of time” can come from.

> Dopamine blockade isn't significantly induced by doses of Seroquel used for sleep.

True at typical low dosages.

I have been on Seroquel at very high dosages for sleep and the doctor gave me the explanation above. I have after multiple attempts failed to taper off of it. I have even tried liquid. I will definitely check out the book. The key issue being that the receptor up scale permanently.

He was a southern, segregationist racist who segregated the federal government. He believed that there were nations and races and that they fundamentally had different interests.

Quickly scanned through the references and didn’t see one interesting perspective: Julian Jaynes’ theory of the “breakdown of the bicameral mind” in response to increasing societal complexity.

His idea is that the voices of “gods” in premodern societies were literal command hallucinations experienced by members of these societies, in the place of having self-identified conscious thought. In a way, he argues, premodern peoples could be considered to be “not conscious”, as they had no inner locus to consider or contradict the voices they heard. This contrasts with the “conscious” experience, in which we personally identify with a sort of homunculus inside our heads that is watching and judging its surroundings.

Jaynes argues that societal upheaval and complexity led to changes (maybe cultural, maybe biological) that caused the “voices” to disappear, becoming absorbed into a new “conscious” stream of self-identified thought. From the perspective of societies experiencing this change, their inner gods would have been thought to have gone silent, leading to greater identification with (and societal organizing need for) externalized, idolized god figures.

"No communication" attitude does not really help with figuring out what other people think.

That hints that there is an unresolved conflict.

It's a nice tutorial, gradually increasing in pace. I'd recommend you beeline towards getting the certifications, and then do the exercises that lead you towards that.
Should not be a tough sell. Refactoring, from an OKR perspective, means you are protecting the ability to ship. Which means that there are tacit implications to OKRs. Nobody would want you to prioritize some rando OKR that would cause code quality to drop to the point that it impacts shipping (because now there are, say, bugs that shut off entire functional areas or something stupid like that). OKRs have built-in assumptions and these tend to be around protecting existential abilities of the company, like shipping code.
This is an interesting point. I wonder if it might be easier at larger companies, since you can use metrics like "we are receiving fewer complaints that our system is hard to integrate with or understand".

You might improve on some measure of "velocity", but on a small dev team that's so noisy as to be nearly meaningless. I guess you could track employee frustration as a primary target.
Deadlines are also a way to manage resources and priorities. If something doesn't work, knowing when that thing needs to work by helps you determine if it's worth it to add more people or pay extra overtime, etc.
Have you found a decent Rails counterpart to Django Rest Framework?
