I'm mostly skeptical because there's often an element of misunderstanding.. my own parents repeatedly accused me of being addicted to video games, but really I just wanted to finish the match and they have a habit of updating me with whatever plan very shortly ahead of the event, so I couldn't plan for it effectively (and of course, I was also young enough that even if I tried to plan ahead, I'd do so incorrectly). Or I wouldn't sleep on time because I was enjoying the game... Which I would have done with anything -- games, books, movies, etc. It just happened to be games.

And I'm looking now at my younger cousins being accused of addiction as well, yet it's clearly not. They're see switching games repeatedly, but their parents can't differentiate so it looks like they're stuck on one thing indefinitely. But reality is much simpler -- they aren't well socialized, and their friend circles are also not very well socialized, so they spend most of their time on games. Sometimes together, on multiplayer games, or solo, and then talk about it together later.

But it's clear they're not addicted -- they just don't know how to do anything else. eg they can't successfully gather a group to go to the beach, and neither can their friends, and thus they only know of the beach as somewhere to go with as family (which is never that much fun), and thus the whole circle has no real concept of going to the beach as a group of friends, and so no one in that circle even attempts it, so the concept is never learned.

And then the fix, taking away the games, manages to accomplish nothing.. they still don't know what to do. Their friend circle is naturally not going to switch to some sport, or whatever movie, or whatever else, because it's not in their culture. But their culture isn't developed/exposed enough to do anything else. So they're stuck, bored, and just waiting to get back to the one thing they know how to do.

In my case, I'm pretty sure my parents could have fixed the "problem" with something like paintball, if they really wanted to get me out of the house, or DnD if they wanted me to socialize more in-person. But my parents were too far removed from the problem to think of anything other than what they would do (my father was social, and would have done the standard set of social activities, and my mother only knew to study). Paintball/DnD were however culturally close to be inherently interesting to my friend circle.

The alternative is parents trying things at random until the kid accidentally finds a new friend circle or interest (eg send them to Mongolia, whatever kids camp, whatever classes).

Claiming addiction is IME the easy way out of actually understanding the problem at hand (in my cousin's case, not properly socialized)

Would be interesting to imagine a world where US retirees are subject to the same safety nets as younger Americans.
but it is very possible that you can create 'something' in 2 weeks vs. 'nothing' in 6 months.

and in most cases, 'something' * 12 > 'nothing'.

(although that 'something' might not be very changeable, or complete, or 'good')

and thus agile, getting things done with people that haven't done things before.

Here's a tip. Reduce the size of you service plates and never eat out of the food container. If you want more just serve yourself more. Don't fall into the fallacy that you'll save some effort by serving yourself more. We tend to eat what we see even if we are not hungry. Good luck.
Ironically, there is no difference in size now, as they both have almost identical market caps.

I'd encourage everyone to read at least the first few pages of this article before reacting to the title. It was written at a time when OS X was super new, and some of the features requested by the author, like Smart Folders, have been implemented almost verbatim.

He makes a good case for the importance of a "Spacial Finder", but I'm not convinced it would be worth the trade-offs. I like having the same folder open in two windows.

Some parts of the article were a bit hard to follow because I've never used classic Mac OS (discounting some very brief experiences). If anyone would be willing to help put some of his descriptions in context, I'd appreciate it.
I'm not sure if I could say wasm is easy, but I was really impressed with how easy it was to get an emulator written in C running in the browser with Emscripten. It pretty much just worked and only took a couple hours to have it working well. I started with zero wasm/Emscripten experience.

It helped that the emulator was written with SDL and zlib, both of which have wasm implementations provided out of the box by Emscripten. Major props to the Emscripten team!

Emulator is running here if curious: https://city41.github.io/nggm/ https://github.com/city41/nggm
Editorialized title: real title is "Betelgeuse Imagined".

But the real lede here is buried: "Betelgeuse, one of the brightest and most recognized stars in the night sky, is only half as bright as it used to be only five months ago." This is actually quite shocking to me, I'm very surprised I hadn't heard about it until now.

He could not have OPT in 2012 (it requires a year of study), when this form had been faxed. He states as much, mentioning that his life was different "During the first year in the U.S." right before telling about this job.

So the best skeptical take is that he went to work illegally, was given I-9 and did not fill it because there was no box for his status at the time "alien, not authorized to work". Then the employer, who is hiring illegals and is not exactly straight edge either, filled it for him. This does not make much sense, though, since it would not matter for the employer without the section 2 of the form, which lists documents proving the eligibility for work.

He still broke the law but, maybe, not to the degree where he earned a ban from the U.S. This depends on how long he worked illegally.

I wasn't directly suggesting cryptography. Rather pointing to a similar "niche" use case of inlining in a different ecosystem.

I assume there are several use cases where WASM is faster than JavaScript, despite all the things you mention. Some types of canvas manipulation are typically faster with WASM, for example.
Oh, I didn't get that impression. Keen's previous Black Hat paper made it sound like Tesla is dual-maintaining 2.6.36 and 4.x kernels, because they're unable/unwilling to upgrade from 2.6.36 on the Parrot board but are still issuing kernel fixes for it.
This is all because of NAT. I bet that to bypass it they have various servers where your cameras connect to and the image is streamed through them when you use your app to view it. When you're connecting you just see the last frame stored that previous user was viewing. Their fix probably will be to just delay the app display so it is not showing this.

Anyone that thinks that cameras that are connected to "the cloud" don't give the company access to them is an idiot.

You don't predict "a little before the top". Instead, you buy a stock that you think is undervalued. It goes up until you don't think that any more. Instead, you think it's fairly valued, maybe even a bit overvalued. Sell then. Don't wait because it's still going up.

Now, if you're a mutual fund investor, this is a bit harder. But if you think the entire market is overvalued, it might be time to sell, even if it's still going up at the moment.

We're in stealth and this is our second full-time hire outside of the founding team of four. We're an experienced founding team and looking for someone to lead the way on our user-facing product: https://www.searchable.ai/software-engineer.

Plenty of room to explore your interests in multiple parts of our stack (e.g. k8s/distributed systems, nlp/ml, search, etc.) but substantive experience with React and Electron are where we need this role focused in the near term.

We're remote-first but you must reside in the U.S. Travel and work is fine, we currently have one of our team in Mexico visiting family and one in Australia hanging out for a bit :) We also have an office in SF if you prefer to do the office thing!

Regarding points 2 and 3, I have the opposite impression. You can't actually walk anywhere larger then your room and you can't touch anything. If you lean in to get a closer look, you can't focus on the thing close to your face (and it'll be low res). You're right that clever software might fix some of this (better ways to "walk"), but hardware has a ways to go to get higher resolution, a focal distance that isn't a constant couple yards away, and tactile feedback. And solving the last mile of comfort and nausea.
napkin guess... i assume the contractors are mainly for the 1:1 interviews... there are about 80-125 of them per month based off that revenue and i assume that some that buy the course don't do the one on one interview. the interviewers are probably paid something like 100 bucks an interview if i had to guess(I am not part of their site just basing it off their pricing)

so anywhere from 27000-22500 after contractor fees but then you have hosting and other fees to contend with.

I used to write a lot of blog posts and, when it was to do with work, there was always some professional writer or marketing guy who said it was better to begin the post with some barely relevant fluff.

I didn’t agree, and it didn’t fit my own writing style. But they insisted I do it, or they’d edit it in themselves.

Same with this post. The ‘context’ wasn’t particularly enlightening. I thought I’d be reading a programming war story but there wasn’t any pay off.

Not the OP, but I think they were exaggerating a bit. In practice, operating kafka is a major PITA, because it means you have to

(1) choose a "flavor" wrapper (confluent seems to be a popular one), because the base project isn't easy to develop against

(2) write your own wrappers of those wrappers, to keep your developers from shooting themselves in the foot with wacky defaults

(3) suffer the immense pain that is authenticating topic write/reads, if that's even possible???

(4) stand up zookeeper... and probably lose some data along the way.

(5) suffer zookeeper outages due to buggy code in kafka/zk (I've experienced lost production data due to unpredictable bugs in kafka/zk, but obviously YMMV).

Based on my naive assessment, the kafka/zookeeper ecosystem is maybe 10x as complicated as the problem it's solving, and that shows up in the OpEx. I personally doubt that Pulsar is that much better, but it might be.
WASM was explicitly designed to be human readable and human editable. The WAT format wouldn't have been created if that wasn't the intention[0]. That's a lot of effort being invested into readability, and it would have been a lot simpler to just create the binary format and not worry about syntax or WAT compilers if humans weren't meant to be able to read and debug the final product.

Of course I wouldn't write web assembly by hand normally for most projects, but I also wouldn't create a blanket rule that it should be discouraged across the board. It's another language that goes through a compile process, just a very specialized one, like assembly.

LeanTaaS | Software Engineer, Data Scientist, DevOps Engineer, QA Engineer, Product Manager, Product Designer, Data Analyst | Charlotte, NC or Santa Clara, CA or Ottawa, ON | Onsite | Fulltime

We're hiring backend Python and Java developers, frontend Angular developers, QA engineers, data scientists, data engineers, product managers, engineering managers and more. Job openings can be filled in Santa Clara, Charlotte or Ottawa.

https://hire.withgoogle.com/public/jobs/leantaascom

Everyone complains that our healthcare system is inefficient and costly. If the idea of working with smart people to actually solve the problem and make it significantly better for our future generations seems worth your time, reach out to me directly at hireme@leantaas.com and I'll put you in touch with the right hiring manager.

We're a Series C funded healthcare tech company based in Silicon Valley obsessed about making our hospitals more efficient with data science and machine learning. 65+ healthcare organizations including the likes of Stanford, Duke, NYP, Dignity, Memorial Sloan Kettering, Tenet and more rely on our products to lower patient wait times, improve staff satisfaction and overall financial performance.

Our team includes successful entrepreneurs, engineers, product managers and data scientists from Google, LinkedIn, Apple, Symantec MIT, Stanford, UC Berkeley, Google, McKinsey, and more. We've raised $55 million to date from top tier VCs in Silicon Valley. CBInsights recently named us among the top 100 AI companies in the world.

On the data engineering side, our stack is Airflow/Python. On the web services side, our stack is Java/Play and Angular 2/Typescript. There's also Python/Flask products. We're fully cloud hosted on AWS and leverage modern tooling and automation to produce high quality code - and we ship every week!

Our vision is to build an "Air Traffic Control" for hospitals - a centralized command and control center that routes the right information to the right department as patients flow through the system - if we get that right, we'll be able to significantly make our hospitals more efficient and eliminate waiting and wastage and solve the problem once and for all.
Is it me or does NATS looks like it's aimed at an actor-based style of distributed system ?
Many (major) tech companies have just as bad internal engineering infrastructure.
Root Insurance Co| Columbus, OH / Chicago, IL | Full-time | Onsite preferable / limited remote possible (US only, select roles only)| $80k-$170k

https://root.engineering/

Root is an auto insurance carrier, like GEICO and Progressive. We use data science to identify and insure good drivers, reducing insurance premiums for good drivers significantly as a result. We're a startup — we're 700+ people who have been working on this since March 2015. We've built an iOS and Android app that gathers data on how well people drive. We use that to set insurance prices. To build the best possible product and user experience, we went through the arduous process of starting an insurance carrier from scratch.

We're focused on becoming a national insurance carrier and are now live in 29 states.

We recently raised the largest VC round ever for an Ohio technology company ($523 million in funding to date.) We're planning on leveraging that momentum to continue scaling rapidly and build something truly unique in the insurance industry. To do that, we're looking to bring on more exceptionally talented engineers. Whether you're just getting started out in software development or someone who is looking to lend your experience in leadership to a rapidly scaling engineering organization, we plan on doubling our engineering team in the next year alone.

Our tech stack involves Ruby / Rails and Javascript / React Native. However, we're not only looking for people with experience in our stack but rather we're looking for experienced technologists with sound engineering fundamentals using any technology.

We're actively hiring in Columbus, OH and are also building an Engineering Team in Chicago, IL that will be working very closely with our telematics data. This team will play a major part in where we're headed, and we're searching for experienced Engineers who are looking to have a significant impact by building and leading a team from scratch specifically in Chicago.

Email us at enghiring@joinroot.com to apply and either Tim or Chris will respond to you promptly.
