We currently have one central office in SF (on Townsend Street, near Caltrain), and the rest of our teammates work from their home in various US cities/states. We are a remote-first culture and hold all meetings/corporate-wide meetings via video chat. Some of our customers are based on the east coast (Baltimore/DC area), so having some of our engineers able to collaborate directly with stakeholders is beneficial.

The only real blocker for remote work is due to our work with protected health information. We must be located physically within the United States.

RaiseMe | Senior and Mid-level Full-stack Engineers | San Francisco, CA | ONSITE, Full-time | https://raise.me

RaiseMe is expanding access to higher education by reinventing how students earn scholarship dollars from colleges. Our platform allows colleges and universities to award incremental "micro-scholarships" to high school and community college students, based on academic, testing, extracurricular, and real-world experience. We've over 250 college partners, and users in 1 of 2 high schools in the US. Many of our students earn tens-of-thousands of dollars for college. The coolest part of our platform is how it educates students about the possibility of college in the first place. Many of our users are first-generation college attendees, or minority or low-income students.
We closed our Series B in 2018, bringing our total funding to around $30M. Our investors include Salesforce Ventures, Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative, The Emerson Collective, Teamworthy Ventures, and First Round, among others.

Converting carbs into fat is fairly inefficient. It comes at about a 40% calorie loss. So you can put on fat eating carbs alone but it’s not easy. More often than not we eat carbs together with fat so your body will very happily just directly store the fat and burn the carbs for energy.

This is why things like french fries or pizza are so fattening.

Rocket League pretty much pushed cross-platform play to consoles. How would this split the community when they're pushing in precisely the opposite direction? Why wouldn't they do the same now that they're under Epic Games?
> but I don't understand why everyone has NIH syndrome.

Many free/open-source advocates have been complaining about NIH syndrome for years and years and years... to no avail.

Consider, for example, the situation with window managers and desktop environments. Off the top of my head, we have Gnome, KDE, Unity, XFCE, Openbox, dwm, Gala, KWin, Fluxbox, Enlightenment, JWM, and Ratpoison -- to name only 12 of the remarkably large number available for Linux. I suspect there are well over 100 window managers/desktop environments for Linux actively used in the wild today. And that's just window managers/desktop environments.

The number of people who have complained over the decades about this proliferation is... quite large. The number of words that have been written and spoken in waste, and the number of flame wars that have raged on, over which particular choice is best is also... remarkably large. Search for "Gnome versus KDE" or "Unity versus Gnome" if you want to see some examples.

I've come to accept this is The Way of free/open-source software.

On the flip side, some people love all this variety and choice.
I think the desire to create this insane things using technology that wasn't ready for it is what drove browser development forward. But this is like complaining your toddler couldn't do algebra now that all your kids are teenagers.

I think it's the implied 'ill will' of the interrogator also has an effect.

Awesome to see the Epic Game Store continuing to make waves. Hopefully the beatings will continue until Valve stops taxing game developers so hard.

Epic gets a lot of flack for being a fairly simple store at the moment, but Steam's had ten years to get where it is. Competition was sorely needed and we're finally getting it.

The CEO of Epic is a big fan of open platforms and cross-platform gaming and a loud and outspoken opponent of walled gardens. If there's anyone who will move us out of this model as much as possible, it's probably him. But exclusives is the only way to fight the Stockholm Syndrome people seem to have with Steam.
You got it completely backwards.

UEFI doesn't install anything. It provides a machine-specific binary for Windows to install (intended to ensure that Windows has proper drivers for all the machine’s hardware).

Windows then decides to install this, based on the assumption that OEMs won’t bundle non-critical shit-ware using this method. Which has turned out to be the faulty assumption here.

Either way: Use any other OS except Windows and these UEFI-bundled binaries does nothing. They’re duds.

UEFI doesn’t need to be “tricked” and it can’t force the installation of anything into an OS not wanting it.

It’s really simple, so no need to invent overly complicated threat models.
The Ego and its own
If they raised rates few would use the service. The costs are inflexible. So making it up in volume is still funny like the joke was in the 80s. "losing money on every sale but we're making it back in volume".

This whole narrative gets more implaussible by the day, the more you look at it. And by defending it, and not trying to look for the real issues, those who push it - further the only counter-quack-narrative, which is basically racism.

hot reloading is standard with Java frameworks such as Spring Boot or Play.
I was thinking the same thing. I wish they focused their efforts on making good hardware.

The risk is that some features like power management will only work well with their OS and not other distros.
To be fair, developing "a few add-ons" requires considerably more time & effort than a simple reskin.

Reduction is the best thing that could potentially happen right now, but it's also going to require a cultural sea change on par with the adoption of recycling -- and there are many, many interests aligned against reducing consumption.

In the meantime, recycling technology is still in relative infancy, so while it may not make business sense now, it may be essential in the future for the recovery of certain materials. And, like solar before it, the only way to get it to a useful enough efficiency for that future use is to suffer through adopting it while it's inefficient.
That's about as "on the contrary" as pointing out that the number of people using NoScript jumped from 7 to 8 last year.
Epic has been buying games away from Steam for a while now, this time they are simply buying the developer outright. There is 0 chance the game remains on steam beyond for anyone who already paid for it, but 0 guarantees of new content after this.
Well I think it's very possible that backdoors are set up by governments like you say.

But I also think that even if they don't, it also seems very possible that vulnerabilities are quite common as mistakes. Just due to the realities of security.

In my opinion security is much more difficult than people realize.

For example in this case there seems to be a majority opinion something along the lines of "What an idiot! _I_ would never make that mistake!". It's much easier to say that in hindsight than it is to really execute secure code that no one can defeat. The response might be "well, no one broke into any of _my_ systems so far" and I would say .. how do you know they didn't? And also, maybe no one bothered to try to exploit you because you are not a high value target. Or they are just busy and will get to trying to penetrate you next week.

I think this is due to the complexity of software and IT rather than general negligence.
It's marketing speak. They hardly have their own distribution on a technical level. System76 can use this to prevent any non-developer UI mistakes like material design getting into the mix from upstream.
What if all you have is a human brain?
I don't think it's unusual that a hardware vendor would want to provide an OS that is absolutely guaranteed to work on the hardware they're selling--that's just protecting your customers. Ideally it shouldn't even be necessary if all of your components have well-supported drivers, but this is Linux we're talking about--only three years ago I had to replace the default wireless card in my Dell XPS 13 because the broadcom one was flaky as hell in Linux.

As good FOSS citizens, they would be encouraged to try to upstream all of their tweaks to GNOME or Ubuntu instead, but that's no guarantee that the changes would actually be accepted. Isn't that how Unity started in the first place?
We also cavalierly assume that our brains are universal understanding machines. While we have no problem knowing that there are sounds we cannot hear, and light we cannot see, we're reluctant to admit that there are thoughts we cannot think. Concepts which may be true and universal, but which are literally inconceivable to us.
Since we are talking about climate change, it happens that the last couple of winters has been the mildest in ages and reduced the number of months that farmers need to keep cattle inside to between one and two months.

But it is more complex than that. We don't have deforestation issue from farming. Fields, even those that is just for hay are important for bio diversity and it is generally soils where other crops won't grow. We don't burn down old jungle forest to grow corn in order to feed cows that then get transported through half the globe. It is fields that if they get overgrown would remove the biotope that many species here depend on.

Highland cattle is the extreme end where they can basically live outside the whole year, and they do the job that people and motorized machines otherwise would need to do in order to maintain national reservations. I would be much interested in reading a study that compared the environmental effect of using forest machines vs letting cows keeping overgrowth down.

Hmmm...that doesn't seem to fit the historical data. Most of what they said was inline with protestantism generally. For example Luther (certainly no Puritan!) said this as early as 1518:

> The law says, "do this," and it is never done. Grace says, "believe in this," and everything is already done.

At most we could say they didn't live according to their preached views, but that's still too broad a brush stroke. For example, the Salem trials (1692) were viewed with near universal horror outside the immediate area, and Salem itself publicly apologized (1696) to the victims, reversed the convictions (1703), and paid restitution to their families (1711).

Shunning was an Anabaptist practice (Menno Simons in Germany -> Mennonites, most famously Amish) not a Puritan practice. Most Christians, including Edwards, have regarded shunning as a cultish aberration since it appeared on the scene in the 1530s.

My point in saying all this: fair criticism is good, and evaluation of their doctrine is fine. But pop culture "knowledge" on this issue is pretty wide of the mark.

Also: I'm not a Puritan. I just like history. :-)

It's worth highlighting that right from the initial launch of the Epic Games Store, they said Linux support was happening (as well as Android).

That's fascinating. You don't see old-school imaginative solutions like that in F1 anymore. Now, it's all about tiny bits of aerodynamics at great cost.
I dunno, you tell me? The war crimes are true. The crimes against humanity are true. All of the evidence that has been presented by Wikileaks to demonstrate that the USA regularly assassinates innocent people: quite true.

You might not like the truth, but that doesn't excuse you from investigating it for yourself, especially when its in your name as an American that these crimes are being committed ..
Not sure about the support. Intel employees regularly submit to coreboot repo. I know at least for the Atom based designs that I've been involved in Intel provides reference designs using coreboot and supports it.
Epic isn't putting RL on their store because Fortnite is there, they are building the store to milk consumers, use anti-competitive consumer-hostile business practices, and try to put others out of business because they have effectively infinite money from Fortnite.

I used to be sympathetic to Epic games back when they were developing UE4 as a source available engine and were working on UT in the Linux space. But whatever mindshare begot those intentions seems to have totally dried up - thats not to say Epic was ever a particularly ethical business... from the first Unreal they were pretty run of the mill proprietary games maker selling proprietary engines and running the full gamut of games as a service, exclusives, manipulative game design (loot boxes, achievements, skinner boxes, etc) for over a decade.

Now they are half owned by China, overwork their developers horrifically, and are trying to use mountains of 10 year old kids money to coup the PC game space because the suits want that sweet sweet rent seeking 30% cut of game sales that requires no effort or investment by them through market capture in the long run.

However, despite that engineering work, FB's UI seems broken at times, at least on Android. The app crashes a lot, it often seems to be in a confused state, and it contains basic UI design errors (such as when using the Back button, you almost never end up at exactly the same screen and scroll-position as where you started from).
Google has already addressed this. If you are going to post about this it seems remis to not include something about their explanation.
Do you have any sources for EGS specific features? I really don't want to speculate because I really want to root for Psyonix here, but this is what I'm afraid of. New maps and queues only being available on the Epic version, being able to purchase/unlock DLC/items on the Epic version only etc.
