Email: ceo at dagan.enterprises

I’m an experienced software dev who’s looking to get hired into his first dev management position. I’m a calm, empathetic, meticulous communicator with a shrewd sense of what’s important to succeed as a business. I love mentoring and teaching, so if you’ve got junior engineers with big ambitions, I can grow them into first-class developers. I’ve “grown up” in the startup world, so I have a knack for balancing competing priorities: reliability vs. shipping speed; team focus vs. bus-factor; work-life balance vs. business objectives; trust vs. oversight. I have the judgment that it takes to navigate these tensions and lead teams of happy developers that create quality software.

If all that sounds like a lot of hubris from someone with no formal management experience, just know that I deleted about fifty “I think”s and “people say”s from the above paragraph. That said, I do honestly and earnestly believe I’m qualified for a management role. My last company would agree; I spent years as the management “heir apparent” at my last job. Unfortunately, the timing was wrong when the position opened up (see: https://i.imgur.com/5lUjWzA.jpg), and I missed my chance. Now I’m on the lookout for a new opportunity.

I understand and appreciate that companies are reluctant to take a chance on an unproven manager. Your people are your most valuable resource, so it’s appropriate to be conservative about who you’ll entrust them to. All I can do is invite you to vet me as thoroughly as you’d like. You’ll find that my temperament and skills are well-suited for the role.

PS: I want to do management as my full-time job, so dev lead, sorta-manager-but-also-IC, or "we'll hire you as an SDE and then re-evaluate in X months" offers will be politely declined :)
Yes but it looks like a death trap.

Ive never made a tpyo in my life!!!
Yes I know about avoiding tolls and do use it sometimes - the trouble is, I forget to turn it back on next time! I'd like an option 'ignore tolls for this trip only' or a setting where saving 2 minutes is weighed up against spending $10. But that's probably not so easy.

Speaking of the UK, I drove around The Lake District and I have so say some of those narrow village roads almost made me feel like I'd taken a wrong turn :) I've heard stories of trucks getting stuck between houses.
I wonder if there is bias in that companies offering remote working tend to fall into a category of companies that tend to have more highly engaged employees on average. ie, there is much more soul sucking onsite companies mixed with soul enhancing onsite companies and the remote/onsite isn't the critical factor?
The main flaw with this claim, at least for tech, is that there remains a CEO, and more importantly that the CEO is the agent of a board and a set of investors. In this context the notion of "flat", "non-hierarchical" is a farce since real authority always rests outside of the group to ensure investor returns.

>> I.e. if you could do DLP in polynomial time, then also factoring becomes polynomial

That is what I remembered. You don't need Shor's Algorithm though. DLP would help finding roots, in particular if the log of a number is even, you can compute the square root of the original number which is useful for finding quadratic congruences (the goal of the quadratic sieve). The reverse (factoring enables DLP) does not appear to be true.
Seems to me like the actual problem is staring you right in the face, though: you are not in a tech cluster and you don't want to countenance remote working. That instantaneously removes 90% of the pool - or rather 99%, since no city on Earth has 75m people in commuting distance. No wonder you struggle to find people, particularly for a hard skill like assembler.

The vigilantes should sue Oakland for expenses at the end of the year, would make for a hell of a case, particularly if they can demonstrate safety and quality at lower cost than govt would have spent.
My advice would be to live in the real world. We don't know how long it is going to take. Just like if you go to turn on your car and it doesn't start. Maybe it was a minor issue and the next time you turn the key it will start. Maybe there was a short circuit and the car is totaled. A passenger asking you when you are going to get moving is no help.

This is basically why "climate change" is coming into fashion to replace "global warming." Warming is the problem, but it manifests in different ways. The same warming that makes worse heat waves also weakens the jet stream and lets the polar vortex move further south.
I reached out to a company from a Who's Hiring post and got hired. Great job, got to move with relocation.
Hey, that was me! See the sister comment.

It's actually a plugin for sudo (surprisingly yes, sudo has plugin capabilities[1]) and not PAM. I had originally developed it as a PAM module, but the sudo plugin API allows for the neat trick where the TTY is mirrored.

Epigno Systems | Full-Stack Engineer, DevOps, Data Engineer | Tokyo, Japan | Part-time or Full-time | REMOTE

Do you know that an average Japanese doctor works 124 hours of overtime per month?
Do you want to improve health-care and hospital management in Japan's aging economy?

Epigno Systems is an early-stage start-up that provides prediction, optimization and visualization solutions to streamline hospital management. We provide consulting services and software solutions to solve hospital business needs.

Our team is entirely remote. Team members living in the Tokyo area tend to gather at most once a week.
We are hiring fast learners that finish their job on time and do not work overtime. As a company that strives to reduce overtime for medical staff, we should show the example, shouldn't we?

Tech stack: Python / Flask / Docker / VueJS / VanillaJS

As we are still small, professional Japanese proficiency is currently required for full-time staff to reduce communication overhead. For part-time positions Japanese proficiency is a good-to-have.
We hire people located in Japan for the time being.

Neural Odes as the Deep Limit of ResNets with Constant Weights
The current crop of local politicians are not to blame - it’s squarely the fault of generations of politicians and voters who severely overbuilt road systems without a plan to fund maintenance.

We should tear out 50% of our asphalt and replace it with dense housing - there’s a shocking number of giant, underutilized roads that are large enough to accommodate entire buildings. That’s how you increase density and actually fund your infrastructure.

State level funding is a big one, poor areas get the same funding for local schools as wealthy areas. I don't understand why "progressives" in the US don't support a more egalitarian funding model, it seems like a very achievable goal and compensates for quite a few privileges.

Ask HN: How many published papers should you have when applying to PhD programs?
Hey HN,

I'm thinking about applying to PhD programs focused on Theoretical Neuroscience and Deep Learning this fall, and quite frankly I feel like I'm not good enough.

I'm finishing two Master's degrees, one in Biology and one in Computer science, from Harvard and Georgia Tech respectively. I previously did my undergraduate studies in Cognitive Science from UCSD. My GPA in my masters is a 4.0.

I just started doing research in the past 6 months, and I feel like I'm so far behind my peers its not even funny. I have a paper accepted for a small conference in the fall, but after talking to some folks at Phd programs at places like Stanford or MIT, I hear that students often come in with multiple first author publications. Is this true? I don't know how I can compete with that :/

I want to do research, I love it and have been working 80 hour weeks juggling two RAships and a research internship this summer, but I just feel like I won't be able to get into a solid background because of my non traditional background. My undergrad was non technical, and my research record is short, if a little intense.

Do you have any advice for a nervous kid?
That's why it's good to crawl twice, so if the site got deleted by the first crawl, you can check and then discard the results. Saves a bit of disk space.
Several interviews with very few solid (or high quality) experiences. It's becoming a bit of a dumping ground for recruiters running out of ideas. Especially frustrating are the folks that don't seem to understand what "remote" means.
It wont apply to everyone. For people who enjoy most movies that come out, for example the superhero series and wizards and warrior series, this wont apply because your taste is easy to meet (the majority of consumers).

However, if you arent satisfied by these films but want something that provides more in terms of story, originality, verisimilitude, revelation, or some other of a lot of possibilities, youll look out at the hige catalog of films that have been produced and find only dozens that are really something you enjoy. Theyre hard to make, and so theres only a few directors who have made them. When you watch eyes wide shut, you know you cant get ot elsewhere.
The values that we hold in the industry are often the very things that lead to problems. We love generic things that can flexibly serve multiple purposes. And then we end up with a data port (USB) that is also used as a power source. What could possibly go wrong if I plug my computer to get power, but that same connection can be used to attack my computer? We love the cloud, but what could possibly go wrong if I hook my front door lock up to it? If the IT industry built cars, rolling down the window would occasionally cause the undocumented ejection seat to kill the passenger.
Please don't assume decent project managers. That's how you get in trouble.
I assume you haven't gone hiking in many places. In national parks and similar areas the trails are often vague, poorly marked, and easily confused with animal paths. Get just a few steps off the path and it's easy to become completely disoriented, especially in dense forest where you can't see anything but trees.

> ancient Egyptian in that he tried to create a different symbol for each word

This is not how Egyptian hieroglyphs worked.

An common example

𓉐𓂋𓂻 - pr (v) - to leave

𓉐 is a house. It represents, here, the sound pr, which is the Egyptian word for house.

𓂋 is a mouth. It represents the r sound. Here, it's being used as a phonetic complement to emphasize that we're spelling a word here and not talking about a house.

𓂻 is a pair of legs. It's being used as a determinative to tell you the word has something to do with walking.

It's a shame you're not open to remote. I didn't post in that thread, but matching on "assembly", "assembler", and "embedded" is right up my alley. Unless you happen to be anywhere near Regina, SK :)
> What we (programmers) normally mean by working we mean "It fulfills the requirement that it was developed against".
> Things like code quality, maintainability etc. are separate issues.

That's your characterization and not all how development works in practice. The vast majority of software barely has anything like versioning and a scant few have maintenance/support windows. That's a fact by volume.

Defining the term "Legacy" to mean something specific as a subjective point of reference (since there is no formal definition), eg

> Legacy until relatively recently meant "Not supported" i.e. Windows XP is "Legacy" whereas Windows 7 is not

is helpful, because it lets me understand what you are thinking, clearly. This does not change my position, as my experience is that working code is still called legacy internally, all the time. The historic resource problems with things like broken dependency chains (you can't even build it anymore), or availability of platforms to test on, is common.
I have experienced symptoms far worse than netsplit on Slack on at least four occasions in two and a half years of usage for work, with messages getting lost, duplicated and reordered, differently in different clients, and generally with no obvious indication that things are broken, unlike with netsplit where you’d see a bunch of parts/quits signalling the problem. Eventually it decides on what I hope is a consistent history, but even that only works because the clients are slaves to the server and don’t cache things.
Good question, and I’ll preface my answer with the fact that I’m not a lawyer and this subject is nuanced with much more eloquent threads on Hacker News on this topic. One of the speakers at Sidepact 2018 was a lawyer who also gave great answers to this question and its many sibling questions.

My summary: working on something that is not related to your current company’s product while on your own time on your own equipment is ideal. And yes, if you work at a Mega-Corp or very extensive R&D shop, this is tricky since your company may have lots of products.

In my personal case, I worked at a small startup that had a focused product. I started my project at Sidepact in a completely unrelated area and informed my manager months before I left to give them time to hire, onboard, and prepare for my departure. They even let me work part-time for a month so I wouldn’t go straight to no paycheck :) Not everybody is as fortunate to work at a company like this though, so each person has a different approach.

Hah, tents. Those can be broken or lost, utterly unreliable. Best just cover yourself in leaves when the rains come.

Sarcasm, of course. But this manly-man "gotta be self sufficient" thing always strikes me as so peculiarly limited. Why assume that this piece of gear will be lost but not that one? Why should we believe that, when all the restaurants have gone and civilization has collapsed, the grocery stores will still be open? That by the time a software engineer cannot be found at all their skills will be at all relevant?

I get being a well-rounded person and the desire to be useful in a pinch, but let's not delude ourselves about how prepared any of us really are for The End Of The World. Certainly none of us should be getting up on soapboxes about it.

Oakland is a disaster. If I recall correctly, someone from the U.N. went to Oakland a year or two ago and declared a humanitarian crisis or something to that effect. I remember the wording was quite strong, saying that it matched conditions in third world countries they've been to which are in crisis. How people can just step right past so many homeless people and so much obvious city disrepair and human brokenness for years on end is beyond me. Yet Oakland and nearby Berkeley are home to a lot of people who are considered "progressive" and "caring" and who supposedly want a better world. If you can't achieve positive results for the people in your immediate vicinity (which the people of Oakland and Berkeley very much have the power to do, especially with things as simple as potholes), then do you get to count yourself as a person who can say they are working towards a better world? Thumbs up for these so-called vigilantes. They talk less and act more. I just hope they don't let the mayor co-opt their efforts by letting her go around saying she's all about it.

There's plenty of split units in the UK too, but those require professional installation and quite possibly also planning permission with a full professional noise assessment. No dual-hose portables though. I'm not sure why; we don't seem to have banned them like Australia accidentally managed to do (they imposed efficiency requirements on dual-hose units that portable aircon couldn't meet whilst exempting the single-hose variety).
I had a similar experience -- I found my current job on the "Who's Hiring" and it's by far the best job I've ever had.

> but if you're spending $500k or more based upon one engineer's "estimate" (for which you're paying $10k/month)

The $500k was just a random number I came up with. Budgets wildly vary based on whether they get allocated weekly/quarterly/yearly/etc. And also it's never "one engineer's estimate", it's usually a project manager who works with N number of engineers to come up with an estimate.

Apollo’s Legacy: 50 Years of Lunar Geology
Let's avoid judging -- remote is awesome if it works, but a lot of people aren't open to remote precisely because they're in a field or industry where it's incredibly logistically difficult. For example if you're a hardware company it's often pretty hard to do work without the actual hardware in front of you.
In these cases it’s often a matter of ‘give me a week and I’ll tell you’.

Then again, a similar number of times, the only information you get is ‘we need a chat program, can you please estimate how long that will take?’. Which will leave it forever impossible to estimate.
Are you talking about oakland specifically or American cities generally? I don't really think this applies to oakland, which was built out 50-100 years ago and has almost no new roads in the last several decades.

Maintenance was deferred here for way too long, and now it's going to take a long time and a lot of money to get caught up.

This is ridiculous for so many reasons.

Comparing a minor bug with player speed calculations in an edge case scenario with the total collapse of a bridge. They are on totally different scales. One cost lives. The other is a minor inconvenience at worst. When bugs are found you triage them, and if the expected cost to fix is greater than the expected benefit gained, you don't fix it. The benefit gained from fixing an edge case movement bug like this is minimal, so it will often be left unfixed. This isn't incompetence, it's just prioritisation.
