A Developer's Digest – Issue #21
Location: rural California

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: No (but can be onsite occasionally)

Technologies: C++, Python, Swift, ObjC, Java, UIKit, OpenGL, Qt, Cocoa/UIKit, Win32, Linux, macOS/iOS

Résumé/CV: http://geoffprewett.com/resume.html

Email: prewettg a.t gmail com

I am looking for remote consulting work. I enjoy creating tools that are a joy to use to create things or to solve problems. My strength is my breadth: I have worked with the major platforms and languages, and regularly pick up new languages and APIs. Whether it is a green-field MVC or a million-line code base, I can be up and productive very quickly.
You say "ironed out" but what I think you mean is "layered on top of each other and ironed together; impossibly thin."

I feel like developing on Windows is more difficult because of all it's abstraction layers. WMI, DCOM, the registry, overlapping snap-in functionality, ect.

To me programming on Windows feels like you've got to peel apart all these layers to understand what's between them. Linux is one layer and you can already see right through it.

> - and a ton of other minor little annoyances with hardware support that Mac/Windows ironed out years ago

Uhh, did you just say that Mac has ironed out harware support? For what? They only support their own hardware. The hackintosh community will be the first ones to tell you that Apple purposely doesn't iron out hardware... ANYTHING unless it already says "Apple" on it.
Considering it uses the same rendering engine as the most popular browser in the world?
It could be that the desire is so great to have your fear justified that the quiet that a lack of reporting from your local Ring community is seen as a lack of quality.

"My neighbour's kids are constantly being held hostage by sex slavery rings. My Ring feed just isn't reporting it!"
"And never mind getting a nice IDE environment like Visual Studio up and running."

I guess I'll just have to settle with using Visual Studio Code for linux.
IE7 did have tabs. In fact, it was one of the main features. They didn't make significant standards compatibility improvements until IE8, and only really in IE9. IE10 was the first one (since 6) to actually be comparable to other modern browsers.
The real mindfuck here isn't just that Japanese law allows the authorities to question you during detention (before being charged with anything), all day every day, with no attorney present.

Nor is it that they can restrict access to the outside world, only allowing you to speak to family for max 20m a day, with a translator + officer present at all times.

No, the real kicker is that the clock for the 20-30 day detention period starts fresh every time, for each charge they want to investigate. This means that they can essentially keep people in detention for as long as they want by having a list of charges and "investigating" them one at a time.

If you're used to things like due process, "give me my phone call", etc, the Japanese justice system is quite difficult to wrap your head around.

I have no idea if Ghosn is guilty of what he is accused of. But there are massive pressures to extract confessions from people in his position. And forced confessions reduce the legitimacy of the entire justice system.

It would be astoundingly easy to fix. All you'd need is a law/regulation that says drug companies can't charge US customers more than the average price for the same drug in say, Canada, France, Britain, Australia, and Japan.

Suddenly we'd be paying a lot less and if we are subsidizing the cost it'll for them to raise prices in those other countries.

there are no public canteens in the city (what council could now afford to hang on to such a quantity of land after cuts?)

After the war Conservatives dismissed them in parliament because they weren’t making profit. The canteens were allowed to decline, then disappear.

Where I live, and apparently where the author lives, there's no way they could survive without government support, because they don't extract as much money from the space as other styles of restaurant do. The restaurant business is very tough, even without serving affordable food to all classes and providing ample space for lingering.
When it comes to cosmology, our observations have been using light, because that's what has traveled in space. It is pretty obviously not that useful to ask a dog to sniff the sky or a homing pidgeon to navigate to Alpha Centauri, or something. We've obviously long since passed using only the visible spectrum.

We also recently added gravitational wave detection to our repertoire. I seriously doubt any animals out there are detecting gravitational waves.

I'm not sure how a science based on observing every wavelength of light we can get our hands on, the vast majority of which no animal on Earth can detect or use, and also gravitational waves, is "confined to human senses".

>That really does seem counter to the low-carb diets that seem to be all the rage among internet communities (also HN).

Generally people discussing “low carb diets” really mean managing blood glucose/insulin spikes. So high glycemic carbs, refined sugars, refined carbs.

Not all carbs are created equal when we talk about impacts on blood glucose and/or the liver.
There is definitely double entendre going on, which is why they picked that name. At the surface it means one thing, but it has a second more relevant meaning hidden in there. They make bets which make great returns on investments, and these bets cover everything from A to Z.

Microsoft Chrome is essentially Chrome slapped with a new, pardon the pun, chrome.

Admittedly the DE from Einstein is for very different reasons than the DE today, but we again had the big bang and no DE from the 60s until the 90s (observations from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supernova_Cosmology_Project) so they don't go hand in hand.

nilenso | Engineer | Bangalore, India | ONSITE, REMOTE (India) | http://nilenso.com

nilenso is an employee-owned software cooperative. We work on problems that challenge us, in domains with high impact. And at the moment, we're looking for non-male applicants to improve gender diversity.

We know that not everyone can or wants to work from our office in Bangalore. As of 2019, we have two fully remote employees on staff, and plan to hire more. A more comprehensive list of our company policies are outlined here: https://blog.nilenso.com/blog/2017/02/14/nilenso-policies-by....

Large scale, distributed, low-latency, and high throughput systems generally catch our interest, although we're often faced with even more interesting challenges.

We have an affinity to work with functional languages: Clojure, Elixir, Haskell et.al, although experience in these is not a prerequisite. We write a fair bit of Ruby, Go, Java, Shell, Purescript, Clojurescript, etc as well. Right tool for the right job.

[still-unnamed startup in stealth mode] | REMOTE or ONSITE(around HK: Guangzhou,Macau,Shenzhen,Taiwan,etc) | 20-40h per week, freelancers/full-timers/part-timers

Sorry for the vague description but I can tell you more about the product we're building when you apply. Hopefully I can attract you in a sufficient way with our tech stack! (see below). [NOTE: this is not a pie-in-the-sky venture, you would be joining a team who has a 1+year-old working product, with prospects of new greenfield products built around the first.]

Job positions (in no particular order of preference):

- Rust developer: you dealt with C/C++/Objective-C in the past but are ready to move on. However, you're still not convinced about garbage collected languages, so you have been looking at Rust lately, or willing to learn it. You're not a smart-ass though, so you would be excited to expose your Rust code's API to be consumed by higher level languages.

- FP developer: you value immutability and lack of side effects because you have lived the nightmares of race conditions and heisenbugs in your career. You're disgusted with most job positions out there because the tech-stack described in most of them don't look safe enough to be serious (sure they can build snapchats with them, but not robust software that would end up being used by NASA or Waymo). Desirable to be familiar with F#.

- Desktop/mobile developer: you cringe at the idea of "Electron apps", because you think native frameworks like QT or gtk+ give much power and maintainability (plus, performance aside, javascript is a joke in any other aspect too). But you also understand why garbage-collected languages are safer &amp; more productive than low-level ones, and there are many of these much more decent than JS. (gtk is preferred for this position at the moment; or someone willing to switch)

- SmartContracts/blockchain developer: you've used/developed smart contracts in languages Ivy, MiniScript, or Solidity(EVM), or are willing to learn this technology. Desirable to have familiarity with atomic swaps, HTLCs or zero knowledge proofs. Excited about things like bitcoin, ethereum, mimblewimble/grin, DAI, etc

- C#/.NET developer: generics, LINQ, VisualStudio, EntityFramework et al are your bread and butter. You value the diversity that comes from learning other languages and tech-stacks but also the stability that a robust platform like .NET provides, which you based your career on. Desirable to be familiar with Xamarin, but not required.

- Build engineer: you are a Linux-er who has some past experience building deb or rpm packages, are excited about reproducible builds, and are willing to learn (if you don't already know) new things such as snap or flatpak. gitlabCI and/or AzureDevOps is a plus. (Might do some DevOps work after we come out of stealth mode as well.)

Important perk for all positions: all the code/scripts you'll write will be opensource, at least for the first 4months.

Write me at andrew.forsure@gmail.com

PS: Abstain from applying if you expect a lead/managerial role, because the team is not yet big enough to need extra leadership for now.
I noticed recently that the Target app does this.

Maybe, maybe not. Counter example. Bangladesh (where I’m from) was created in 1972 with a constitution embodying various western style principles, including secularism. The country was organized along pretty sensible geographic/linguistic/religious borders, and there has been no western meddling with its elections. Regardless, over the decades the people have voted to make Islam the official religion and generally cut back on secularism, free speech, and democracy. One of the relatively few bright spots is the Bangladesh Supreme Court—a western transplantation that e.g. conducts its business and issues opinions in English. Americans love to blame the west for everything. I find it fairly patronizing.
Carbs are great if you're actually going to use the energy! The best even! The problem with Western habits is we tend to carb load until we have a tremendous excess of energy which we then use to... sit down for several hours while our body gets busy turning all that unused energy in to fat.

This reminds me of Knuth's stance on email:

I have been a happy man ever since January 1, 1990, when I no longer had an email address. I'd used email since about 1975, and it seems to me that 15 years of email is plenty for one lifetime.

Email is a wonderful thing for people whose role in life is to be on top of things. But not for me; my role is to be on the bottom of things. What I do takes long hours of studying and uninterruptible concentration. I try to learn certain areas of computer science exhaustively; then I try to digest that knowledge into a form that is accessible to people who don't have time for such study.
