Made a new notification tool and I'm looking for some beta testers :)
Hi everyone!

I've been working in DevOps for quite a while now (> 1yr) and have always been a full stack developer, always involved in developing from end to end.

Due to my background, two years ago I started noticing I lacked a tool to monitor better what happened around my systems, which would push me notifications whenever I wanted, with whatever kind of content. After starting doing DevOps I realized i desperately needed such a kind of tool (I'm very well aware and use many monitoring products, but none of the kind I desired).

Long story short, after 2 years of working weekends and early-raise mornings, I finally managed to put together Notify17 ( https://notify17.net ), which is a tool I'm now using every single day to receive custom notifications (on iOS for now) from the most disparate sources (e.g. Graylog, Grafana, Jenkins).

I'm looking for anyone who'd like to try it out with beta-tester benefits, which means just using the tool whenever you feel like and have an extended free tier (free tier for some good time, 3 months at least), with the purpose of seeing if it could fit into daily life as a companion tool, as well as to get some feedback about the overall functionalities.

Edit: for who's interested as beta user, please just drop your email address at beta@notify17.net after you log in once into the dashboard ( https://dash.notify17.net ).

Edit 2: for who's interested in knowing when the Android app will come out, I made a little mailing list you can subscribe to at the bottom of the homepage.

Thanks a lot,
Alberto
It’s quite anti Semitic of you to attribute this to white & Jewish over-representation in universities.

Whites and Jews are successful in colleges because they come from cultures that value hard work. They deserve every spot that they get
I wonder if anything has changed since GDPR passed as I am pretty sure you are suppose to be able to download your content but I'm not sure how that works when accounts are deleted and/or banned.

Regarding your situation and concerns of other comments...

Many people in this thread point out that marketing and creating an audience is difficult work. But I think obvious-in-hindsight solution is to always keep a backup of your own content no matter what platform you publish it on. I'm not sure how Medium interprets their rules exactly but I would be suprised if you couldn't at least link every post back to a mirror on your own blog which would let you both generate an audience and prevents you from loosing everything is medium goes nuclear on you.

As always, back up any content that you care about. Don't just backup your own content but also that of others - ever relize a youtube video you like has been taken down by a bogus DMCA claim?. Online services may have their own redundency but that doesn't matter if they decide to delete (your) content.
I generally agree, but here's a concern I have:

The student body is going to have its own set of values, some of which may challenge the prevailing norms of society or the university itself. Should a university ignore, nurture, or challenge the views of its students? I feel like, as a student, you should be allowed to pick. Because depending on the issue, or the individual, the answer may change.

For example, at one time Gen-Xers and Millennials were significantly more tolerant of homosexuality than society overall (they still are, but society has largely come around). Did universities do them a disservice by either nurturing or ignoring these views, rather than intellectually challenging their pro-gay marriage views?
Slower than Dropbox but much, MUCH faster than Google Drive.
It's still a bit of an issue, especially if you're controlling a camera with a mouse even 50ms latency is likely to be very noticeable.

However much lower latency to these services is definitely viable in a lot of places as long as they put enough servers spread out across the country.

In the USA at least there's going to be a lot of areas where the available options for internet are just not good enough though.
They will just host turn based strategy games, like yahoo chess.
I worked at a company that logged every single SQL query and made a rule set based on that. May not of been the most efficient but it worked great. There was basically a whitelist of sorts and if the query structure wasn’t in there then action taken. Also worked by knowing what queries came in what order when doing certain things.
Or they maintain back channels to the groups and negotiate discounted rates on the basis of reliability of pay outs.
On iOS I find the lack of inertial scrolling on this site an order of magnitude more annoying than anything Medium currently does by far. To the point where I closed the article after I first tried to scroll.
Medium should be used as a means to distribution (like a mirror) but not be the canonical source. Make your personal blog be the primary source of storing your articles but copy post on medium for discoverability

This was for manslaughter; murder with intent was explicitly excluded from making use of these.
The student's family's income is not taken into account for the adversity score.
A more accurate analogy is

Your friend drops a package for you in a mail box.

The package is delivered to your doorstep

A criminal steals it from your doorstep.

Therefore there was no reason for the usps mailbox to be secure.

Or:

A letter is dropped into your mailbox. A criminal breaks into it. Therefore there was no value in having a lock.

Etc, etc

that is how you explain it

Wouldn’t you agree that two people who achieve the same score on the test may not have worked equally hard? If someone scored the same as your child, except they didn’t have good security, good quality schools, parents that could help them, etc, I would say that they in fact worked much harder than your children.

And by the logic of “those who worked harder deserve it more”, well I think you see where this is going.

If anything this adversity score IS making things more fair because it’s providing light to the extra challenges someone might have had and thus who indeed worked harder at it.
And so if we can present underground thorium capsule reactors as “if mismanaged, it cools into a lump of harmless rock”, and design them to do so, we have a viable marketing solution to nuclear power.
In Maine people used to seek out the local wardens to get on the list for moose hits because they liked moosemeat.

It's pretty sickening driving south, where deer populations are so thick and there aren't the winters and hunters to check them, to see so many roadkills in the ditch just rotting and going to waste.
I’m on mobile so I can’t read the numbers on the excel screenshot you provided but the historic high return on average equity for banks[1] (not including brokerage) was 16.29% in 1999. At last measure it was 11.85%. Dodd-Frank was merely a speed bump.
The vast majority of banks have long since recovered from the crisis.

Beyond the score - I see this as colleges accepting more people having more remedial classes and collecting more in tuition.
60% are overweight or obese, which is the majority. Clearly we can survive on less.

I think the both of you are conflating a multitude of separate topics. Private schools tend to have strong reputations because of legacy reputations, and wealthy alumni funding. Freedom of speech is unlikely to be related. Berkeley and Stanford are both examples of very famous schools with distinct (and sometimes contrasting) cultures. They do not necessarily correlate to supporting/not supporting freedom of speech. (Berkeley was home to a Free Speech Movement in the 1960s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Speech_Movement) Aggressive protest is part of the Cal student body culture, and the behavior of students is not reflective of the actual college administration's actions restricting or upholding free speech.

There was some funky scrolling on this article I noticed on my phone which is not present on most websites/websites viewed through Safari backed mobile browsers.
I prefer this to school's independently coming up with their own non-transparent systems. That being said I hope this is like Affirmative Action, only meant to be instituted for a length of time ~10 years once the problem has been deemed solved.
I used to work for a hyper converged infrastructure provider which had an option to aggregate all the disks in a computing cluster and expose it as an NFS filesystem. You can then enable fault tolerance, compression, encryption etc on a file system level.

In the US machines simply won’t pay for bottles purchased out of state. That’s my experience in Michigan, anyway.
I was actually wondering about that - or alternatively ye olde protection racket type thing: they being the original authors of the attack.

Of course it’s much more plausible that they’re just scumbags looking to make an “honest” profit of a criminal act.
In Oregon there are homeless people who ride around in bikes with trailers collecting cans and bottles all day. A couple sacks full is worth $20.
Event sourcing was one of LinkedIn use cases when they created it, Kafka is fine for all logging needs.
I believe all the problems you have mentioned can be easily solved. Permit adversity scores to weigh in favour of course grades and graduate honors. Legislation can be passed to ensure adversity scores count towards corporate and government employment to prevent any bumps further down the road.

Furthermore, adversity scores should also be counted towards recruitment in elite military units, selection for senior military leadership and all significant promotions. The adversity you faced in childhood should give one guaranteed opportunity throughout life. This progressive path ensures harmonious diversity and a perfect union of our states. Adversity is Excellence! Merit is Privilege!
It costs money to capture carbon — whether it’s reforestation, or switching pasture to organic farming, scaling up an aquatic carbon sink of some kind, etc. So it’s definitely beneficial. And with properly audited trade markets, it should be reliable for “cancelling” emissions.

At the moment it’s cheap. But as the market becomes saturated it’ll naturally get more expensive to offset; ideally that leads to innovations in other ways of reducing emissions. And, of course, we need to eventually get to negative emissions to reverse the warming we’ve already locked in.
Interesting, but the result will be that they're going to blast all of those passwords at the login of whatever service you're trying to protect by this trick. That could DOS the service. It also could result in them locking your account, if they're awake at all.
Right, but the question is that roadkill fresh enough to be cooked for consumption? It's one thing if you killed it yourself and bagged it up to be cooked, it's another if that deer had been laying there all night.

Unless, it's somehow sanitary or safe to eat raw meat that was also left outside for the same amount of time, so long as you cook it thoroughly after.
If you find game streaming on your LAN unplayable you probably have a setup problem. If you have a solid router and you're only going through ethernet, no wifi then stuff like steam in home streaming should be basically flawless as far as framerate and input lag goes(I get ~3ms added from the streaming iirc). You will notice video compression artifacts though of course.

I do always use it with an xbox controller rather than mouse+keyboard though, so it's less latency sensitive.
I'm sure it is the root of many social ills, but the alternative is the root of many more social ills. The competitive struggle is what drives people to be productive. Without that, people don't attempt very much. Attempts to level the playing field cause widespread corruption as people evade the restrictions on competition. The lack of productivity is then fixed by the use of force.

> It seems logical and reasonable to give more help to those who need it more.

It does, but that is because all the counter-arguments are complicated and sound mean-spirited. That approach, when tested, sometimes works out absolutely terribly.

Liberty and assuming everyone has an equal capacity to better themselves is the winning philosophy.

Helping people who need it is a lousy strategy. Giving them opportunities is a great strategy. However, the opportunity needs to be to show that they will work hard for a goal, not shoehorning them in to university. Nobody needs a degree to succeed. They need safe shelter, clear/consistent/unbiased rules, food and a system that allows accumulation of capital. A good universal level of high school education. The basic foundational things that underpin a civilised society.

> And realistically, you're always going to be way better off by maximizing your own success

Most people don't actually work that way, I don't have a statistic but based on anecdote I'd expect most people to minimise risk. People who optimise for success are quite rare.
Seems like an oversight in how the score is calculated, then.
How is this different from what Opus 12 has developed?
The Bay Area already has enough train routes to create a viable commuter system, but they are not connected, or even time synchronized. Some are idle, or prioritize freight over commuters.

The systems include (counter clockwise from east bay):

Bart, Amtrak Capitol Corridor, ACE, VTA, the old valley <-> Santa Cruz line, Caltrain, and Muni.

The only part missing commuter rail stops is Marin county, and they have a nice ferry to SF (they intentionally blocked BART).
Well, they are based in Germany. Europe has vastly different distances and fuel costs.

> eg, the classic hook-nose propaganda - clearly a racial stereotype

Please, do not repeat this filth. It is anti-Semitic nonsense that there is are “Jewish racial characteristics”. Jews come in every shape and skin tone. I know a very nice black man who is an African Immigrant and he is Jewish.

There is no Jewish race - Judaism is only a religion.

> Ah yes, the system of discrimination that nevertheless has white and asian men disproportionately over-represented in silicon valley, tech companies, and government.

Asian immigrants, many of us who grew up in poverty and other difficult circumstances, are "privileged" now?

One of these days, progressives on HN are going to wake up to find the many, many Asians in technology on the opposite side of them. We ain't "woke" and we ain't your "allies", largely because of treatment like this.
Right. Some companies use it as a screen, we used it to inform the interview.

Two of the last three companies I interviewed at had at least 4 hours of in-person interviews. One of those (for a regular developer position, around 7 years ago) had multiple whiteboard sessions with different people. The problems were trivial to solve if you had access to google or had memorized basic data structures and related algorithms. Instead of taking half an hour or an hour talking about the code I'd written to solve a problem representative of what the actual job entailed, we spent 4x as much time (during business hours) talking about things freshmen learn in CS programs (I'm assuming here, I didn't get a CS degree).

Even if the total amount of time is the same, or even greater, I still prefer the take-home assignment because I can do it on my own time, rather than taking off of work, and - if done correctly - makes for a much interview.

As a candidate, you learn far more about the people you're going to be working with than in a whiteboard session as well.
I think float planes might be an untapped market.
Forgive me for asking but what is the purpose of this?
What happens if the problem doesn't resolve? Or maybe due to system gaming as has been described by other commenters or external factors it gets worse?
Many White, Black, and Hispanic families do the same thing. It's not denigrating that sacrifice to acknowledge that being born into cohesive, supportive family that values hard work is a privilege that many poor children do not have.
Gruber rants, fairly, about the changing headline. But then he creates a misleading headline of his own.

I agree with you on the internet-influenced part, but not on the latter portion of your argument. Even if the anti-free speech movement is small, the majority of "left-aligned media" do echo their beliefs. This to me does swing the overton window to the left.

I guess we will have to disagree. When you are penalizing such efforts, you are most certainly denigrating them.
Do you guys allow remote outside US for this position?
Really what you're saying is that if you open source your product the degree of shittyness will be then obvious to everyone, and that security by obscurity keeps the managers happy because they think there is less work.
Sorry, how is it disingenuous? I didn't consider the example relevant to the policy itself, and I provided a link to the source material for anyone to read. Giving a benign example is meant to downplay the fact that Google can do anything they want with your data.
I've tried to like my Steam Link, but it just isn't worth the hassle - wired with cat6 from one room to the other I've always had lags and glitches and disconnects.

Throwing in ping times of 50-100 ms to some datacenter, not to mention whatever traffic shaping shenanigans Comcast will inevitably apply, and I don't have a fuzzy feeling about the viability of this rash of streaming services.
I agree with your point, given that data.
I think the point is to reject the concept of "platforms" and "curation networks" completely, not to recommend that people try to create their own Medium equivalent. Just let your blog be a blog; you weren't going to win the social media lottery anyway.
In google search cache or in web archive cache can be your content.
It's also difficult to weigh yourself with a mirror.
There's quite a lot of mileage in what this guy says, and the "content behind walled garden" thing pisses us all off (I'm a non-Facebooker for All The Usual Reasons and have the same response whenever I see stuff "published" there).

But: noone seems to have mentioned the fact that you can publish on WordPress and use the Medium plugin to copublish to Medium. It deals with the whole canonical content / SEO thing, you get to keep your original content, and you get the potential benefits of a Medium audience / stats / etc.

Best of all worlds.
Totally agree. 40 years ago I did integrals on the way home on the Subway from Stuyvesant. Totally support you.

>Which should have a better chance of succeeding? This adversity score says family B deserves a bonus over family A.

No, it does not say that it deserves a bonus _over_ family A. It deserves that that circumstance (a circumstance of the parents, not the kid!) is taken into account to close the gap somewhat.

Family B gets a triple mushroom, basically, and family A a green shell.
There are people for whom the difference between $10 and $10k is effectively immaterial. These are the people I bin as “rich”, and I think that’s how we should all see it.

While someone making $500k/yr is definitely prosperous, the “rich” are an entirely different category of individual. It only serves the more selfish interests of the truly rich to conflate the two.
Can you not do that with every browser's dev tools?
With just about anything, with time you get used to it: be it eyesore, noise pollution, bad relationship. You let it be, after a while. With regards to photos, it’s neither here nor there. People will take photos of anything. If it were a big pile of cow dung in the middle there, people would still photograph it.

I’m indifferent to it, personally. De mortis nil nisi bonum.
The above commenter wrote:

> But to your broader point, that freedom of expression yields greater institutional cache: how do you explain the strong performance (and reputation) of private institutions vs. "state schools"?

as a way of insinuating that freedom expression is not important to institutional reputation because private schools (which aren't required to abide by the first amendment) are often very reputable, frequently moreso than public schools.

This is question loaded in false premises. Reputable private schools do support freedom of speech and expression to similar degrees as public schools. And not to mention, the claim that private schools are on aggregate better than public schools is likely untrue.
I wrote one article on Medium. I ended up writing my own little version using open source markdown rendering to see how hard it would be to roll my own, https://jott.live

From what I found, there is a lot of stuff Medium does well that is hard to recreate by one's self. Super simple features, like

- rich text editing that isn't ugly

- caching what you're currently working on

- tracking views and who has viewed your article

aren't easy to build and generally aren't worth it unless you write many many articles.

Although I don't like the aggressive account on-boarding and payment models for reading articles, Medium certainly makes life easy for writing articles.
What tooling did you use to audit queries?
Your intact family sticking together for your childhood and making a sustained sacrifice for your benefit already represents several awesome advantages many, many, many kids will never enjoy.

You didn't eat out much so... home cooked meals most nights?
You lived in a good school district?
You had parents and/or other family as a support structure for 12 years?
You had a dad?

Imagine having none of those things.
