Linux implies a level of user arrogance and heavily implied it's the developer's fault and inability to understand how things the way they are. We can only test on so many configurations, and users will complain when their distro, or sound server, or preferred desktop environment isn't supported. If you don't think that last one matters, what happens when a certain obscure floating WM doesn't focus the window in an ICCCM-compliant way (WM_TAKE_FOCUS) and as a result, no keystrokes are delivered to the window. I had to fix that, for one user who was very loud on Twitter about how we clearly don't care about Linux. The total number of Linux sales was less than 0.1%, but cost us way too many support tickets and weeks of developer time.
Uniform Teeth | Full Stack Engineer | SF | $127.5K+ and _good_ equity

We're Uniform Teeth — the first premium, clinically credible consumer brand in orthodontics. We're making orthodontics cheaper, faster, and more accessible for everyone, plus we're backed by the same investors as Warby, Instacart, Casper and GoodRx. Read about us in TechCrunch.

## The Role

Full stack engineers at Uniform use our capabilities to bring complex systems together in an industry (orthodontics) full of antiquated infrastructure. Projects span over our medical record system (UX and API), operations (eg. manufacturing), and apps and to help build critical functionality for customers (patients), clinicians, and support team.

You'll be responsible for owning features end-to-end with a team who loves doing things right.

## Responsibilities:

- Work with a range of systems, processes, and technologies across the stack – from spec to API to UI implementation

- Work with clinical, operational and back office teams to own and solve problems end to end from our EMR (electronic medical record) to our app

- Build new features for patients, clinicians, and support team alike

If you're interested reach out to tony@uniformteeth.com. More: https://bit.ly/2VH180g

Bjorn Lomborg's analyses are well known for being highly motivated to push contrarian agendas, and shouldn't be taken as evidence of any sort of honest analysis. His thoughts are only useful to drive out of the box thinking, and should not be taken earnestly in any way.

This would be like asking "but how does all this new molecular biology work showing how smoking causes mutations that drive lung cancer square with Ronald Fisher's analysis showing that smoking is just correlated with lung cancer?" It just doesn't matter, because we need to realize when people are using statistics and analysis to push particular agendas, rather than using it to answer questions about the world.

Which doesn't abdicate us from preventing harm. My grandkids, if I am even lucky enough to have them, are going to live in a world where at least 31 days of the summer month will be too hot to go outside, winter will mostly be bouts of torrential super-storms, food will be incredibly expensive, and the politics of the day may very well be battles over how to handle the billions of migrants fleeing the uninhabitable places of the world.

Climate change is already displacing tens of thousands of people every year to floods, forest fires, and arid land. It's going to get worse before anything we do today to survive has an effect.

I think the thousands of scientists studying this phenomenon already understand the impact of human civilization on Earth rather well.

There's almost certainly more users of S/MIME than PGP. PGP keyservers can be well-analyzed for number of available keys, which is somewhere in the region of hundred thousands to millions, with the number of active users probably around a hundred thousand or so. S/MIME is known to be used by the DoD and CAC, which gives it several million users.
LA has already said that almost all of the facilities used in the 28 Games will be existing facilities (or facilities under construction at the time of the bid).

Only a handful of facilities need to be purpose-built for the games, like a velodrome for indoor cycling, and it is expected that those facilities will be kept after the games.

As a child, breaking my arm was upsetting, but imagine if it put additional financial strain on an already strained family?

If anyone has questions about the US Digital Service, I'll keep an eye on this thread. Here's a few things that we did in the last month or two:

- a federal computer system that took six years to build was flaky, crashing, and slow. It's 3.75M lines of Java code, and some engineers went in to get the system back up, then helped add monitoring, then made changes based on that monitoring which significantly sped up the system (80% faster, I think?). This is a system that handles important processes for the government with 1,000 daily users and ~70,000 weekly users.

- we consulted on how to make it easier for farmers to hire seasonal workers. Most of the work was done by contractors, but we offered some product management help and some content strategy. The new tool makes it simpler for farmers to navigate a process that involves dealing with multiple federal agencies. You can see the new tool/site at https://www.farmers.gov/manage/h2a

- we're running pilots on how to improve hiring in the US government. It's harder than it should be to hire folks into government, and we're working to improve that. This involves the Office of Personnel Management and several other federal agencies. In fact, you can preview one of those job postings at https://www.usajobs.gov/GetJob/ViewDetails/532244000 and apply for that soon. But again, the main place to learn about us (and apply!) is https://www.usds.gov/ .

Let me know if you have any questions!
They're not building anything major.

They're reusing existing stadiums:

Coliseum (seats ~80k and previously featured in 1932 and 1984 Olympics)

New Rams stadium in Inglewood (seats ~80k. Being built privately with relatively small indirect subsidies)

Rose Bowl (seats ~90k)

And smaller preexisting venues (2 soccer stadiums, Staples Center, the beach, the ocean, etc).

There's no new megastadiums being built. When I looked at their budget, I think the biggest facilities expense was $7 million to make an area at the Rams stadium safe for shooting and archery events.
whats so dangerous about systemic critique
World's First Private Cargo Registry @ Cloudsmith (Rust 1.34)
Unless you've been following developments in Rust recently, you may or may not have realised that Rust 1.34 [1] introduced the ability to point Cargo (the Rust package manager) at your own private registry, either self-hosted or managed.

So this is really exciting for anyone looking to privately develop or distribute Rust crates (packaged libraries), or to mirror some portion of crates.io for other reasons (e.g. availability, isolation, modification of public crates, etc.).

Although I am somewhat "anti-Olympics," my acquaintances in Salt Lake City say the 2002 Olympics were very successful in sort of modernizing the entire city. There is apparently a very clear before-and-after with regards to infrastructure, public spaces, transit, etc., all for the better.

But that was a rare exception, as far as I can tell. Most Olympic cities appear to have that kind of effect as a goal and fall short. I read a proposal a while back that the summer Olympics just get permanently moved to Greece and that sounds like a great idea to me.

When I lived in Seattle there was a kilt store.

Chicago had a button store in the last ten years or so, but it is gone. It became a Barneys New York.

Roaming through the Nevada desert a few years ago (Tonopah area, I can't remember exactly where) I came across a small town with a book store that sold nothing but old 1940's-1970's cowboy paperbacks. $1 each. I bought 50.

I think top-mounted oil filters have been a common feature on German cars for a long time. Even though mine has a top mounted filter, I find changing the oil to be one of the least interesting common DIY car maintenance items. It has big mess potential, requires a stop at a shop anyway to drop off the used oil, and doesn't really save much money.
As a personal anecdote, vegetarian didn't work for me! Persistent anemia, hair loss, fatigue; adding back some meat just fixed it.

Various diets are worth trying -- you never know until you try, and you learn a lot by trying. So for readers out there, try being vegan for a month: you'll learn a lot about what you eat and how to cook and you can observe how you feel.

Also worth noting: many traditional cultures embedded food restrictions into calendars and/or religious rules. Being vegan for a while before Easter is more or less a thing in some Christian groups; Ramadan involves fasting as a practice. These cultural practices, combined with the seasons in nature, make me wonder if we were built to be cyclically vegan/omnivore/berry-eater. This may be more sustainable for many.

Ford and Tesla's market cap are about the same at $40 billion, yet Ford's total liabilities are ten times Tesla's: https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/F/ford-motor/total...

That doesn't mean Ford is ten times as likely to go under - indeed the market cap's being the same means that buyers and sellers generally believe that Ford can carry ten times as much debt as Tesla with about the same risk.

People aren't making S/MIME software better because too few are using S/MIME. Too few are using S/MIME because it requires certificates to get started.

Making it easy to get email certificates certainly doesn't guarantee mass adoption, but the lack of easy access to email certificates absolutely is blocking mass adoption.
Arbor | Software Engineer - Python | Cambridge, MA | Full-time Onsite

Manchester, UK | Boxmove and Others | Rails/React Full Stack Developer | REMOTE | Full or Part Time.

We run a few different businesses, and we need a remote full-stack developer to work in-house on various upcoming projects. It's varied work - there's a lot of different things to work on. Think of it as a Developer in Residence role.

Industries: Logistics, eCommerce, Publishing, Advertising.

Stack: Mostly Rails/React/Postgres. We've got some legacy Wordpress stuff that needs an occasional poke. Open to moving to Elixir for greenfield stuff.

Role: Getting stuff built. Full-stack developer with the ability to set up servers and explore new tech as needed.

To give an example of a first project (which I'll also post on Seeking Freelancer because it needs doing ASAP).

We need an eCommerce platform for small chains of brick-and-mortar shops (1-20) to list and sell their stock online. Mainly we are talking furniture, books, CDs and DVDs (... yes, CDs and DVDs). Challenges you'll tackle:

- Set up a white-label storefront for our individual clients.

- Set up an own-brand platform that searches across all our clients.

- Taking barcodes / ISBNs and fetching article information from online sources.

- Click-and-collect reservation system with notifications to the shops

- iPad-based interface for shops to list and manage stock.

Other businesses we run: https://boxmove.com, https://www.howacarworks.com, https://www.thebigspace.co.uk, a lot of mobile games sites.

We're flexible and you'll have a lot of freedom to get stuff built and shipped. It's an ideal role for someone who would like to do their own startup but wants get a breadth of skills before striking out in a couple of years.

Compensation: £40k - £55k+

Send me an example of something you've built.

I am an experienced .net developer and while asp.net core is very nice, I would still choose Laravel and php to develop a sass. Modern php is very easy for a c# dev to pick up and be productive with within a week. Laravel is a better designed framework for doing open web work. It is pre configured with many things out of the box and you just can’t beat the ecosystem of packages and the community around it. It is the Ruby on Rails of the php world except you don’t have to learn ruby! There is also laracasts.com with many free screencasts on php and Laravel to get you up to speed quickly

Partially, yes. This is the drive behind the "28 by 28" initiative at LA Metro, where the goal is to complete 28 pre-planned projects before the games. (The original plan, sans Olympics, was to complete about 5-6 of them.)

These projects include the Subway to UCLA, the LAX People Mover and Metro connector, the "Regional Connector" downtown, the extension of the Gold Line in the San Gabriel Valley, hundreds of miles of bike lanes, and various freeway upgrades. (See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twenty-eight_by_%2728)
