In my experience with much smaller teams (5-50 programmers) the main challenges are three-fold:

1) getting developers to talk about formalizing (to any degree) cross-system responsibility at all rather than just hanging code where it's easiest at-hand;

2) getting developers to think about external inputs/outputs at all and everything that entails, e.g. namespacing, versioning, forwards and backwards compatibility, validation, access control, ...

3) teaching developers to pick the right kind of interface for their data and processing, i.e. more or less queue vs. pubsub vs. RPC vs. REST vs. query language; of the three this is the only "technical" one, the others will be harder sells.

Once you have done these, the question of _which_ queue/etc. you take is largely irrelevant; there will be some natural pressure to standardize and even "unnatural" pressure from CTOs/management will be straightforward to implement.
When user's information was leaked to third parties without proper management or oversight, while Facebook stock continued to go through the roof, that was another watershed moment. That was the moment people realized that Facebook is full of crooks and enables other crooks to boot.
>just in case I'm getting this wrong, let's make sure it's an unalienable right for people to have weapons in case they need to kill me?

That supposes that the Founders would forever rule and be unified, with no possibility of anyone else ever ruling. That obviously is idiotic.
This is the text:

> A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

How do you explain "Militia" and "State"? How does 2A not refer explicitly to State militias?
The video shows that the police officer had his handgun drawn before he was hit with the pipe.

Furthermore, the same officer was actually carrying a rubber bullet gun on him at the time.

Why didn't he deploy rubber bullets at a distance, but instead charged in with his handgun drawn?

I'm not tied down to a particular technology stack. If you're willing to allocate time for familiarization, or relocation, I'm open to just about anything, with security orientated work being preferred.

If you saw https://ieddit.com on the front page yesterday... that is me.
I never have any that are even half-decent. Plenty for things that aren't businesses. Sometimes I act on those but they don't make me money. None for businesses. When I think I have one it always turns out there are a few players in the space already, one or more of them appear to be doing a good job with no clear way to outdo them, but nonetheless all appear to be struggling (so it might have been an OK idea when no-one was doing it but trying now would pretty much be doomed, spending weeks to months to get off the ground to take 10th place eating from a small pie). Or it's something you'd have to have FAANG resources and/or a huge pile of cash available to do (owning/collecting relevant machine learning datasets, mostly).

When other people say "hey I'd love an app that let me do X, you should build it, you'd make so much money" it usually turns out there are already 20 in the app store, and they "love" the idea so much that they'd never bothered to look for one. This is true whether it's for themselves, or for their job.
There's been a steady breakdown of trust and goodwill between SO Employee's and moderators/power users over the last year. Part of why this blew up so fast is probably that there's no good will left between the two groups anymore; and people immediately assumed the worst and reacted in anger.

AD:60 | Senior Software Developers | Brooklyn, NY / Chapel Hill, NC | ONSITE

AD:60 is an award-winning product agency headquartered in Brooklyn, NY, with a small but growing office in Chapel Hill, NC. We've been around for 10 years and have a proven track record of building things right - we're data-driven, do everything from branding to infrastructure deployment in-house, and strive to be serious partners for our clients rather than simply software outsourcing, building businesses instead of just handing over websites and apps.

We're currently seeking:

- Senior Go developers

- Senior Ruby/Rails developers

- Senior React / Angular developers (freelance OK)

If you're a Go dev who knows some Rails, or a Rails dev who knows some Go, thats even better - we're big on cross-training.

Buzzwords, etc:
Fintech brands, Go microservices, Kubernetes, Rails APIs + React frontends, Postgres, CI/CD, Ansible, Terraform, Docker

Remote freelancers are OK for frontend roles - sorry, at this time we aren't set up to work with remote full-time candidates for Ruby/Go roles, but hope to be soon.

For more details about the company and some past projects, see our website: https://www.ad60.com

For more details or to apply, send questions or a resume to shochberg at ad60 dot com and be sure to mention HN. I'm the Director of Web Engineering at AD:60 and we can chat directly.

It's always amazing to watch people who have never committed crimes try to solve them.

At least with regard to Americans, your suspicion is incorrect.

American CO2 emissions per capita reached their highest level in the 1970s and declined later:

I've conducted technical interviews for approximately 200 students and recent graduates - around 100 each from American and elite Chinese universities.

I've seen absolutely zero evidence for your view that "a generation" of Chinese students has graduated with "weak understanding of the fundamentals" compared to Americans.

I'm happy to discuss further (surely my interviews are imperfect tests and the samples are biased in some ways), but let's ground the discussion in evidence. Where did you get this idea?
Statistical classifier (written in TF) diagnoses disease from immune repertoires
The more optimistic children seem to have been more correct. We are more integrated, have more cures for diseases, etc.

The most pessimistic ones (who, understandably for children, have a caricatured view of the threats) echo a lot of the concerns we have today (including automation, which might be the most over-blown fear) except for the notable presence of fears of nuclear war. Merely 2 decades after the first (limited) nuclear war, that wasn't completely unfounded. However, those fears were not realized because humanity, somehow, was able to restrain themselves from using these terrible weapons again. And over-population also seems to have largely been solved as well.

That's a ray of hope. Problems which seem too intractable now or seem inevitable, like anthropogenic climate change, CAN be addressed, just like we avoided nuclear war. Just like overpopulation was addressed (through education and development and access to healthcare). Just like we were able to stop the ozone hole by banning ozone-depleting refrigerants.

These big, nasty collective-action problems CAN be solved.
I think "brand" is used here because it's a bit more accurate than "company" or "institution". Consider an Instagram account and a Facebook account. Both are owned by the same company - though they weren't in the past - and yet they create their separate communication networks. What the author calls "a brand" can change its owner, and multiple distinct "brands" can be owned by the same organization. The example with Alice and Bob tells you that an individual can also establish such a "brand".

I don't know of a better term to use here.
I don't think the climate cares much about our technologies and cohorts. A ton of CO2 is a ton of CO2. Since you claimed I was arguing dishonestly, I withdraw from the discussion.
If you do it in a language that provides static binaries or an equivalent, you don't need to pull dozens of libraries with possibly hundreds of files just to run a single script.

Yes, I completely agree with that.

================

I usually post this long thing about why we're a great company to work for and I realized that nothing compared to mission and purpose.

So yeah you can read our accolades and I'll reference them below, but the truth is nothing matters more than why we exist:

We're fighting climate change by building better apps for farmers and the agricultural economy.

If I didn't believe this was one of the most important problems of our generation to help future generations, I wouldn't put so much emphasis on this. If you want a mission you can tell your grandchildren about in hopes of creating a better environment for farmers (and really the whole world), we're working on it right here, right now.

I'd love to hear from you and learn more about how you can work with us. Our stack is JavaScript (React front end, Node back end).

>I find it strange to not just use your personal network to find somebody.

Your sentiment is similar to the top-voted comment in a previous thread about this.[0]

It seems insane and uncomfortable because we're using labels for people like "random stranger". But it's a paradox: before people become friends, they're strangers to each other. So how did they ever become friends?!? Before someone was in your personal network, they were previously _not_ in your personal network? So how did that status change?!?

By meeting new people and seeing what type of interactions happen. There are no guarantees in life. All we can do is try to meet new people.

Not everybody has a "cofounder" already existing in their personal network. (E.g. didn't go to same school at Stanford and not a coworker at a company job.) In that case, they have to grow their personal network with like-minded people who might be a cofounder.

The "alternative" of starting a solo business may be less realistic and higher risk of failure than trying to find a cofounder that shares the same goals.

From my understanding it was pretty basic "Prosecution didn't do their job, and they did they're job SO poorly I have to dismiss this because everyone is staring at me because this is such a high profile case" situation.

High profile cases like that are high risk high reward for the prosecution. You can't let private militias start dictating how the country works, but you also can't fire up extremists and provide sympathy for their cause.

"In its testing, though, [Amazon] sent out 700 gateway devices to Amazon employees in the Los Angeles basin, and because each one has a range of between 500m and up to a mile, Amazon was able to "basically cover where everyone lives in LA"

Whoa! Article also mentions the Ring ecosystem but this may have major impact on Amazon's home delivery bottleneck. I would totally buy a (cheap, small) personal lockerbox for my condo if it interfaces with Ring Bridge. AFAIK, they tested the apartment complex lockerbox idea some time ago but didn't take on.
