* Stack: ES6, React, Redux, Heroku, CircleCI
wouldnt base 11 make more sense then?
I've been a Ruby developer since 2005. Prior to that I did a lot with ancient C, Objective-C and assembly. I'm looking for a Junior position programming Rust.

I know enough Rust to be useful, but not (yet) enough to architect a medium-sized green field project. However, I really like Rust and I aggressively pursue my interests, hence my desire to do it full-time for (less) pay.

So, if your company is doing enough with Rust that you'd like to offload some of the scut work, please contact me. I'm also open to gigs doing Ruby (with or without Rails) and I have the reverse-engineering skills and temperament to work on amazingly bad legacy code, but that would be pricey and fairly short-term.

Location: Albuquerque, NM, USA

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: not now

Technologies: Rust, Ruby / Rails, reverse engineering (wrote clean-room code to run Macintosh software w/o Apple code)

Yup, that’s one of my favorite things about the Fahrenheit scale: it’s a good approximation of “on a scale of 1-100, how cold/hot is it outside?” where a broad range of human climates would agree on the answer.

0F is pretty dang cold out, and 100 is pretty dang hot out. Sure, there are temperatures in human habitats outside that range, but most people would consider then “extreme” temperatures, hence values less than zero, or greater than 100.
Galois | Full Time Research Engineer, Technical Project Lead, Hardware Engineer, Software Integration Engineer| Portland, OR, Arlington, VA, Dayton, OH |

Galois is looking for software and hardware engineers, researchers, technical project leads, and software integration engineers that enjoy working on challenging problems in computer science. We collaborate with organizations like NASA, DARPA, and Amazon Web Services to explore blue sky ideas and turn them into usable technology.

Galois is employee-owned, we have a one-level flat organizational structure, and we make important decisions as a group. We love to learn and share what we know, and that’s a big part of how we approach R&D, so we have no hard requirements for previous experience with similar work.

Some of the things we've worked on in the past: Formal methods, static analysis, binary analysis, cryptographic algorithms, domain specific languages, programming languages theory, abstract interpretation, type theory, formal verification and software correctness, reinforcement learning, autonomous systems assurance, communication security, cyber-deception for network defense, DDoS defense, provable hardware security, statistical anomaly detection for detecting advanced persistent threats.

We think working here is awesome (See https://lifeatgalois.com) To apply: https://galois.com/careers/
Yeah part of me wishes there was a better payoff model for this done, but supported software. I scorn subscriptions often because it often warps into products I don't want so they can justify the payment or force a SaaS that is just waiting to pop and break it.
Good, we need to set the record straight in SV that this kind of blind bullshitting and manipulation will not be tolerated.

There’s different varieties of speed running. Some people do it entirely manually, others do Tool Assisted Speedruns (often abbreviated to TAS) where a program provides all the input, allowing frame perfect moves which humans are incapable of. There’s also a slowly growing trend of letting machine learning algorithms loose on games like Mario - that stuff to my knowledge is still at the stage of trying to get an AI to even be able to finish the game at all, but I’m sure with some time and effort we’ll start seeing techniques no one has even thought to try.

> Simply reverse everything many countries once did to encourage children and growing populations.

“Simply” is the most ironic formulation I can imagine, as I’m aware how many religions state as the explicit goal for their believers to have as many children as possible (and also avoid contraception). Moreover in most of the world, including developed, not having children translates in not having anybody to care for you once you’re old.
Your comment is almost entirely wrong.

"Fire in a crowded theater" is trope which means the First Amendment does not protect speech that is very likely going to cause imminent harm. It has nothing whatsoever to do with property rights. It is a "trope" because in rhetoric, it almost always used incorrectly to justify First Amendment exceptions which have nothing to do with imminent harm.

Also, in the US, if you are in public a photographer can take a photo of you and publish it. You have no "property rights" over the photo whatsoever.
I am glad the definition of kilogram is corrected; I always thought it was no good, and now it is good.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not all jazz and no classical music. I love Hollow Knight actually, it's easily to me one of the best games I've played in years. I do admit it depends, I do tend to lean more on the jazz parts of my brain, even with games like Hollow Knight, especially during boss battles.
This is one of the worst parts of the speedrunning community, imo. The constant, "This team can't program" or "bad devs" or "LOL their QA department was asleep" commentary undermines what's potentially a very awesome relationship runners could have with devs.

I've never understood this need to take pot shots at the devs while running, but it happens all the time during events like GDQ. Even when the developers are on the line chatting while the game is being played (which just seems straight up rude.) It also ignores all the complexity involved in making and shipping a game, which is definitely non-trivial.
Great ad - engaging, entertaining content that doubles up as exposure for the product. The best kind of ad that is actually useful. (This post is appreciating it, not knocking it for that.)
Your second link is to our blog post about user ads, which do not go in slots on publisher pages.

Your first link is to a tech journalist who misreports what we actually do, for reasons I cannot fathom and won't guess at.

Anyway, we do not replace publisher ads we block. Check it out for yourself.
Not looking for a job, but the product looks awesome!
Right. So in other words, the SI unit definitions are for scientists wishing to affirm the base units, but the old definitions are superior for education purposes (well, except maybe for the prototype kilogram...)

docker logs --tail 1000 -F container-name is kind of a pain
The HAProxy Data Plane API performs a validation check: it sends the -c flag to the HAProxy process before reloading to make sure that it is a valid configuration. If the configuration is invalid, the changes will not take effect and you will see errors in your console or log. With transactions, it's not quite stateless (as HTTP is). Transactions provide a way to make multiple changes and apply them with a single commit. The main benefit of an API is towards program-ability (is that a word?), in which configuring HAProxy can be controlled by "control plane" software, slick looking UIs, tools like Ansible, etc. in an automated way. You can also generate client-side code from the API, such as for Go/Python/[insert language] coding. It goes beyond the use case of "I'm a human who wants to control HAProxy manually or with templates".
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subsumption_architecture

Looks like a kind of "deep" architecture:

"It does this by decomposing the complete behavior into sub-behaviors. These sub-behaviors are organized into a hierarchy of layers. Each layer implements a particular level of behavioral competence, and higher levels are able to subsume lower levels (= integrate/combine lower levels to a more comprehensive whole) in order to create viable behavior. For example, a robot's lowest layer could be "avoid an object". The second layer would be "wander around", which runs beneath the third layer "explore the world". Because a robot must have the ability to "avoid objects" in order to "wander around" effectively, the subsumption architecture creates a system in which the higher layers utilize the lower-level competencies. "

One can imagine how backpropagation style training on "explore the world" or other high-level scenarios would result in formation of "avoid objects" kernels at the lower levels similar to how image recognition deep nets produce Gabor like kernels at the lower levels. We do have some theorems on optimality of such deep networks for image recognition and i wouldn't be surprised if similar optimality was present for behavioral deep networks. Also, it seems that like in case of image deep nets, the deep architecture for behavior naturally allows for transfer learning by reusing the lower layers too - like one would reuse the low/mid layers of image deep net, one would naturally reuse the lower "avoid objects" layers (and may be some more complex aggregate behaviors from "mid-levels") for other tasks.
> I can't think of any good reason to use volumetric measurement in cooking

A good reason is because you rarely need exact measurements in cooking (vs. baking), and it's easy to eyeball approximate volumetric measurements, especially with help from the known volume of a container; also because many recipes need quantities of some ingredients (most frequently water) that would require a much larger and more expensive kitchen scale than most people would like to keep.
As long as it includes a disclaimer that it is a fake (even though it appears to be a real photograph), I do not complain about it, because I like freedom of speech.

Yes it is. I bought a tape-measure maybe part of a tool-kit or something and lo and behold it is ONLY in inches. It could easily have cm on the other side but it doesn't.

I guess its cheaper to produce a one-sided measuring tape.

They are no longer functioning within a socially accepted framework. It’s unfortunate that opinions can lead people to despicable actions like these.

This is not a fully correct conclusion. I feel a need to call out the conflation of "non-hierarchical" with "structurelessness"/"without a formal structure".

There are at least 3 things that the typical org hierarchy provides:

1. The dominance hierarchy, the power structure that says who can give orders to (and/or fire people for refusal to comply with orders) whom.

2. Decision-making governance. There has to be a way to get decisions made, including what people work on.

3. Conflict resolution. How does conflict get managed and escalated.

It is not true that the necessary opposite of hierarchy is anarchy - you can't just destroy the org chart and expect nothing to replace it. The org chart typically provides all 3, but the proponents of flat/innovative org structures are usually trying to dismantle just #1 the dominance hierarchy. I totally agree that it "doesn't work" if replacements for #2 and #3 aren't implemented at the same time. Approaches like Holacracy/Sociocracy are actually quite structured! They attempt to make decision-making and conflict-resolution explicit and effective, even while trying to remove the "violence inherent in the system" of bosses/bossing.

Mead and Bateson's work in South East Asia was the basis for the title of Deleuze and Guattari's Anti-Oedipus[1].

I was curious and went through the footnotes of Anti-Oedipus and D&G say in Mead and Bateson's Balinese photographic survey that they describe a certain culture the mothers tease their sons when they are very young by pulling on their penises and then ignoring them, but I pulled the Mead and Bateson book out of the Brooklyn Public Library and could not for the life of me find evidence of what Deleuze and Guattari were talking about.

Why would you title your book based on a 30+ year old half-heard tale about a foreign culture?

I like Deleuze and Guattari, but the experience of trying to figure out the physical, material, biological, sociological source for the idea of 'Anti-Oedipus' itself left me disillusioned.

It is entirely possible that evolutionary conferred advantages really do 'suck' in other senses or in certain social situations, which tend to go beyond evolutionary fitness. Indeed a great many things have evolved that would be abhorrent to carry out in civil society; many intuitions (moral and otherwise) we have (even those spread across several cultures) seem correct but are not scientifically grounded. The is-ought problem shows itself again here, and as far as modern conceptions of justice and moral psychology go, social Darwinism has lost a lot of ground in the last fifty years.
