Looking for freelance work as a full stack dev and/or product manager. Good fits are early stage companies who need an experienced, self-managing, and reliable dev to get things done. I've co-founded three software companies and sold two, so you're getting someone who uses code as a lever to grow a business.
Isn't that a false dichotomy though? You can have both, and I'm not entirely convinced that universities are disqualifying candidates based on opinions in their applications.
I see you took my use of the word stuff quite literally. Services are stuff too, and get included in M1 and consumer spending. I'm not wrong.
From the detailed problem description:

"If one can show that a system is universal, however, then this does have implications that are closer to our rule 30 problem. In particular, if a system is universal, then there’ll be questions (like the halting problem) about its infinite-time behavior that will be undecidable, and which no guaranteed-finite-time computation can answer."

I'm pretty sure ISO 9001 companies are audited every 4 years at their own expense.

Basically an auditor comes and quizzes you on your own processes. You must show that you have processes which meet ISO criteria, and that you religiously follow those processes.

Basically you have a lot of freedom to develop your business, just be sure you adhere to whatever you put into writing.

We were affected by this, it appears resolved now.
This is incredibly dramatic. Orwell warned us of governmental censorship. Huxley warned us of government and citizen complacency. What we are experiencing here is something else, and it's NOT in the form of a law, or a punishment, or anything else. The government is not enforcing these actions on anyone. People are free to mob around an idea and attempt to actuate results. You can still speak your mind. It has nothing to do with 'Our Country'. Your equating of the two is worrisome
(I'm not in a position to hire so sorry to digress but) Are there any good texts you can recommend for quantitative finance, 'for engineers' sort of thing? I studied engineering (EE / CS) and am interested (in a non-work sense) in finance / economics, but haven't read anything that bridges the gap and don't know where to start.
Do you in fact know anyone who has taken a 401k loan?

Right now, I can't get a mortgage loan from a bank, but then again, I don't have a 401k either. I'm not sure of what scenario would make me do it if I did have a 401k.

I love this concept. Start it.
About 11 years ago I ran a script that deleted everything I ever posted on facebook. It worked well for a while and then it started to scramble leaving bizarre posts with huge timeline gaps. I had to manually delete the rest.

I also un-followed everyone and everything. It took days - since then facebook has been a wonderful tool for me to keep in touch with distant friends and it is still used by many in my social groups for organising gatherings.

Ultimately I know mostly just use it for work. I get quite a lot of business from Facebook connections.

My advice: delete the news feed and un-follow but keep your connections.

> If nukes had been used we'd quite likely not be having this discussion.

Exactly. No matter how that bias is named. There's no system where the accidents never happen. We were just lucky up to now, but it doesn't prove anything.

Instead of naming it, I prefer to quote Nassim Taleb:

https://www.businessinsider.com.au/nassim-talebs-black-swan-...

"“A turkey is fed for a thousand days by a butcher, every day is a confirmation to his team of analysts that butchers love turkeys” with statistical confidence increasing daily. “The butcher will continue to feed the turkey until a few days before Thanksgiving Day. And then comes the time when it’s not really a good idea to be a turkey. Being surprised by the butcher, the turkey reviews his beliefs when his confidence in the assertion that the butcher loves Turkeys is at its peak and the Turkey’s life is “very serene” and mildly predictable. This example is based on the adaptation of a metaphor created by Bertrand Russell. From the Turkey’s story, we can also identify the source of all prejudicial errors: confusing the absence of evidence (damages) with the evidence of its absence“"

That's why I really don't understand those who claim that the nuclear doomsday can't happen because it didn't happen up to now.

Errors happen in any complex system, and any probability of the total annihilation of the whole civilization is simply to high to be tolerated.

There are many people who can trigger it at any moment, it's definitely not "the president only" and it never was. Who doesn't believe that should read the books that cover that subject. I've already referred to one, written by a former nuclear war planner. Search for it (that former job of his is a part of the book's title), read it and act. Before it's too late.
> and so were Nazi skinheads, although they sucked. But as you say, opinions vary.

Nazi skinheads are alcoholic sociopaths who dream of an authoritarian, fascist world dictatorship. I'm not sure how that fits the punk ethos?
401k loans are not a great idea in general. Are you saying that only "real" people take out 401k and other creative types of loans and only not "real" people (millionaires? I guess?) can qualify for better loans? I'm not sure I understand.

SemVer is generally good practice but I don’t like promotion to religion. For example, during the pre-release of the firebase-functions SDK we shifted SemVer by one: 0.2.1 was a feature addition from 0.2.0 and a breaking change from 0.1.

Similarly there are rare cases where I’ve swept breaking changes under the rug because they were severe bug or security fixes that affected a corner case unlikely to be seen in the wild.

Oh I get the risk. What I don't get is someone sitting on this for a decade and at EOL starting to wonder how this is gonna work.

>nearly 0-risk

That's cool to. I mean there are *nix servers with years of uptime that haven't seen a proper update since ever. All good (sorta).

I coded in Python 2 last week - nothing against it. It's the bizarre "this decade long transition just snuck up on us" tone of the question that gets me.
"Microservice" is just a new name for something that has had many names throughout history. For as long as we've had networks, we've had small, loosely coupled networked apps communicating with each other. We've also had standards for communicating and for discovering nearby services — at one point it was DCE/RPC, later CORBA or DCOM, or Java RMI. Then people started with REST and Thrift, and these days it's more often gRPC and GraphQL.

I think the core of the Amazon invention was to mandate that the API be a strict boundary around a service. No cheating by making assumptions about the internals of the implementation. Force teams to work off the published API documentation, and make teams the guardians of each service. Microservices probably aren't developed exactly like that in many companies.

Why people have downvoted you is beyond me. There’s a lot of truth about investing and life in your comment.
They didn't die out, but they died in much larger numbers, because the industrial revolution lead to an exploitation of child labor. Combined with non-existent protections, a lot of them did die on the job.

Children started to be children for longer because labor unions helped end the practice. That was a good chunk of time after those jobs changed, and it wouldn't have happened without active pushback. (The AFL pushed for an end for child labor under 14 in 1881, and it took until 1938 to get the Fair Labor Standards Act)

The idea that paradigm-shifting transitions somehow don't affect anybody because "there will be new jobs" shows a stunning unawareness of historical precedent, or how capitalism in general works.
"Oh, just do these ten things, and you will become a billionaire"

I think you're completely misconstruing what you responded to. That list is neither about becoming a billionaire nor about what to do to get there. It's describing talents or tendencies that make people build things worth millions, not billions.

This is a cute phrase, but too cute to be true.
Most people to my knowledge do not use secure boot out of choice but rather because it was forced on them.
It seems the OP is interpreting Bezos mandate as if he were talking about the interaction/communication between actual teams (people) as opposed to between each teams software service(s). Whereas there are parallels between these, I'm pretty sure Bezos wasn't saying anything about inter-team communication. It sounds like they already had a good company organizational structure but there were no limits on how services used each other, which would result in tight, often-hidden coupling that would be too complex to manage.

My guess is this was the thinking behind the mandate, limiting all inter-service coupling to a single, well-documented interface prevents the whole system from devolving into a big ball of mud; primarily because it forces all dependencies to be explicitly declared and documented in the same way.

Sure. Power concentrates not by "merit" (narrowly construed as GPA/test scores), but through complex social and cultural factors, and race is obviously politically relevant. Existing institutions will favor a black Harvard graduate over an Asian graduate becoming a leader of some political institution. Asians as a whole outnumber blacks, but are far more politically and culturally diverse.
At that scenario you might shoot right through someone's brain.

There's significant high chance to shoot through arteries at leg shots.
Its commercially taking subconscious advantage of the consumer who sees "big box which seems full" but actually gets "circular portion less some". If you went efficient, your product would be square and look smaller than the competition.

Friends of the Earth appears to be an organization that split from the Sierra Club because it wasn't environmentally radical enough. I care about the environment and about social justice. Why would you think "The People's Demands" speaks for me?

Rashida Tlaib supports Scandinavian social democratic policies, and supports this website. But she'd support the social democratic policies either way. I agree with you and not with her (on Scandinavian social policies applied to the US), but her support for this website is not really evidence for it being representative of the mainstream; Tlaib is herself not even representative of the mainstream of her own party. That's why they call her, Omar, and AOC "the Squad".

So to rephrase my question: do you really believe the majority of people who believe we should make tradeoffs in our economy to favor combating climate change also believe in the nonsense in this People's Demands site? Because that's what you sort of directly implied.

I think it's already too late for enterprise, those needing tracking of something, be it a forklift or a single person with a handheld computer/scanner, already found solutions for this.

Actually Zebra is already offering something in this direction[1], but if you don't need such precision or have way less budget, triangulation with WiFi access points is usually enough (and they're already there for providing network access to the devices).

Then only remains the consumer market, I don't know if it'll be as big as they think it is. But I suppose they already checked that.

It’s such a loss that Yegge doesn’t blog anymore.
No I disagree. This is not "progress", this is "technological progress". We need to make sure that we don't leave older people behind, and we don't pull the rug from under our childrens feet. Of course we should not stop technological progress, but we all (big businesses, governments, everyone) need to think and plan ahead on what will happen to the people. I believe that there is a statistic that 1/2 or 1/3 of USA citizens have at some point worked on Macdonald's. I remember a piece of news about a robot burger flipper and discussion here on HN a few months back, and people were writing how working on Macdonald's paid for college or what have you. Eliminating fast food jobs is depriving important resources from the youth. Who will be paying for that?

We cannot just move forward and leave the people behind. Capitalism should try to care for more than jist the few.
Society doesn't enable the possible, it responds to the possible.

I'm not saying what you're discussing isn't a problem. But it's a separate problem.

The problem isn't with the answers or solutions.

What you've been arguing here is largely simply wishful thinking. "The consequences of some fact are too terrible to imagine, so we won't imagine them."

Hello, I'm Sam Lawrence.

I have lots of experience (6+ years) in manual QA, but at my last role I began using Cypress to drive test automation and I really took to the experience. I'm still wrapping my mind around Git and Javascript itself, but being able to contribute code to the team, participate in PRs in both directions, and drive automation that reduced regression testing time was both exciting and a welcome new challenge. I'm looking for a place where I can continue to learn and grow into my Javascript shoes, as well as my overall engineering skill set. I've been at a good few product companies and agencies so I know how to make things with an eye for quality, but I'm tired of being only semi-technical and want to dig in deeper to establish a stronger skill set around Javascript, and ideally use Cypress as the doorway.

The reason I'm looking is that I was laid off today alongside 1/2 the engineering team and 1/3 of the company's total workforce.

Thanks.

Examples of recent work:

- I just finished a contract to survey point cloud classification and reconstruction research, and then to build a classifier for urban LiDAR scans based on my findings.

- Last year I worked with a software consultancy to lay the foundations and develop core features/algorithms for a specialized web-based CAD tool, eventually bringing onboard a team of ~6 to continue building on top of it. (Demo vid + testimonial: http://symbolflux.com/projects/cadtool)

- I've been designing and developing a product built with Electron, Rust, javascript, three.js, webpack, etc.: (https://diskatlas.com —it's all placeholder stuff: download doesn't actually work.) I'm taking a break from this for the next few months to catch up on finances.

What I'm seeking:

I'm open to a wide range—just shoot me a message. I am however, almost certainly only looking for limited duration or part-time work, potentially on a contract basis.
