Valuemotive | Full Stack Developers | Full time | ONSITE (Helsinki, Finland) | https://www.valuemotive.com/developer

Valuemotive is a software consultancy of ~20 people. Our work varies per project, and it often includes web development, data engineering and cloud/DevOps tasks. What sets us apart from local consultancies is our data science expertise. We combine data science and application development with great results. Some of us also work on Varis (https://www.varis.ai/home), which integrates insights from massive volumes of text data to support business decisions with the help of natural language processing.

We have lately favored JS/TS, React (+ Native), NodeJS, Java, Python (mostly data science), Postgres, Docker, Terraform and Kubernetes in our projects. Our apps tend to run in AWS or Azure. We are friends with Scala, Kafka, Apache Spark, Airflow and Elm, for example.

We are looking for experienced full stack developers to work in our client projects in the Helsinki region. Knowledge of some of the tech above is essential. We appreciate strong communication skills in Finnish and/or English. Data science experience is a plus. As a Valuemotive employee, you have a say in the direction of your career, as well as the direction of the company. Our devs are enthusiastic about emerging tech and will gladly share their insight with each other.

Contact: careers@valuemotive.com. Remember to mention that you heard about the position from HN.
It has to be an electromagnet. I remember doing this experiment with floppy disks and magnets for a middle school science fair. Normal magnets don't do a thing, but electromagnets can change data.
> Most app stores require downloaders to agree to a license agreement with the app store, which typically includes things like prohibiting reverse engineering and prohibiting reselling or making and distributing copies.

Apple’s (https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/std...) actually has a very interesting clause that seems like you can discard their EULA and substitute your own (with some minimal restrictions pertaining to making sure that you don’t bring Apple into it and comply with warranty laws and such):

> Your license to each App is subject to your prior acceptance of either this Licensed Application End User License Agreement (“Standard EULA”), or a custom end user license agreement between you and the Application Provider (“Custom EULA”), if one is provided.

So can you just substitute one that grants your users the GPL freedoms?
God damn it. I bought the non trackpad version. Its garbage. Keys drop when you type unless you hit dead center and hit hard.
I agree with so many points here. Generative AI is one of those things that are immediately applicable. Instead of problems that require 100% accuracy, generative models don’t require that. As long as the avatar looks close enough, it works. And no one really needs explainability there.
The Design of a Signage Typeface (2012)
Not entirely true. For good utilization you need both GPU/TPU ops to be fast (written in C), but that won’t get you far if your input pipeline (possibly written in python) is slow. I could imagine if all the TF calls work in PyPy, that it would help with throughout by speeding up the input pipeline and keeping the GPU/TPU saturated more effectively. One solution is to write everything to TFRecords, but for experimentation that’s kinda annoying.
Lagging Python 3 implementation early on didn't help.

Oh, 100% accidental (not a native speaker). A good chuckle though haha.
Simple and straight to the point ... although some navigation would be helpful to see, you know, the rest of the website.
>It's functionally VR and is most current gen folk's/kids first experience with VR. There is no point gatekeeping it

A Zoetrope is technically a moving picture, but it's a fundamentally different category of thing to a real movie. Sticking your smartphone in a glorified ViewMaster is a cool gimmick, but it's a pretty disappointing experience after the very brief novelty has worn off. If we don't very clearly delineate "real VR" (6DoF, low latency, hand presence), we risk poisoning the well for the whole industry.
So why not AsciiDoc instead of rst?
No one here has specifically mentioned the two primary things I'll be working on over the next decade. Although, the trends surrounding these two things have been (generically) mentioned many times, and I actually see a handful of people predicting the exact opposite of one of them.

I see this as a good sign that I'm on the right track.
Are you making any preparations for this outcome?
Now just to predict what will be the big thing in 2030 so I can get rich :)
Ultra-Processed Diets Cause Weight Gain: Inpatient RCT of Ad Libitum Food Intake

>Human babies don’t get tagged data sets, yet they manage just fine, and it’s important for us to understand how that happens

I do not really understand this. Human babies get a constant stream of labeled information from their parents. Contextualized speech is being fed to them for years. Toddlers repeat everything you say. Is this referring to something else that babies can do?
Did the ALMC deliver letters to every single address in the United States? I don't think they did. They weren't trying to "compete" with the USPS so much as skim off the profitable routes.
Yes but as others have pointed out thats a quater of world supplies. If your pigs get the virus you lose all of them.

Double of nothing is nothing.
Use it for conferences
Poverty rates are almost by definition useless metrics to compare by here, because they are computed from the gross income distribution.

Poverty aid programmes are almost all focused on reducing the cost of living for poor people, which has literally zero effect on poverty rates.

Subsidized housing/childcare/healthcare, food stamps, progressive taxation, you name it, they all leave gross income unaffected yet give a large increase in quality of life and discretionary income.
One more to add:
- Hong Kong's protests on scale that world has never seen
Google Panda launched in 2011. Digg V4 launched in 2010. This seems to contradict the timeline in your post?
1. More profitable artificial food will replace natural foods, similar to how canola oil replaced butter for cooking. Vegan 'meat' will be the default, cheaper option in McDonalds which in turn makes natural food more expensive.

2. Russia and China will launch a competitive, international currency to fight the US dollar and China will humiliate the US in a regional conflict.

3. Most countries in the world will benefit from global warming or see no ill effects. Climate fear mongering will continue unimpressed by this.

4. Smartphones will be replaced by smaller optionally wireless computers, the screen will just be a screen and receive all the computing information from a detached CPU/GPU/computer you keep in your wallet. Commonly sold desktop monitors will have a place where you can slide in or connect your personal wallet computer wirelessly.

5. As social support systems in Europe start to crumble under the strain of continued limitless immigration, they will enact openly communist policies such as a duty to work for all citizens. This will be celebrated across the world as a progressive action to fight the low economic performance of the EU compared to China.

and no one really knew about it until it made slashdot on 7-11-2010. Mtgox started trading in 7/2010 and I think I bought my first bitcoin around 5/2011 for $10/each or around there.
These dates don’t line up with the attacks on the US military base which killed an American and heavily damaged the base plus the embassy siege which NYT reported showed tacit support from local police. It’s unique in the region where the US doesn’t respond to protests with mass shooting of protestors like the hundreds killed in Iraq this past month.

Hands down this is the boldest thing Trump has done since taking office and will have serious implications.

But I don’t think anyone is under any illusion that both men were responsible and helped finance/support countless terrorist operations. And the Quds leader had his hands in every dirty Shiite business in the region, most notably playing a big role in suppression the revolution in Syria, bombardments of Israel from Lebanon, and constantly stirring up shit in Iraq including openly attacking Americans.

Also some 60% of the Iran economy is owned by gov connected groups and agencies including the imperial guard and Quds who all pay zero taxes and live in luxury, while jacking up gas prices on the poor when things get tough.

I have made something similar by detaching the display from an old Macbook Air.

When you reach term limits, you don't get kicked out of the country. It would create a powerful disincentive for people to move up at all, unless they wanted to leave the company soon anyway.
Sativa makes me go pretty bonkers, not in a good way.

On the other hand Mushrooms and LSD are much more mild and therapeutic for my mind, even though the visual hallucinations are stronger.

Personally I think weed is much more dangerous than LSD and mushrooms because it's done to such extreme quantities. E.g. the "smoke weed every day" motto is very dangerous for some.

> Early 2020s: Brexit unexpectedly results in the UK narrowly escaping [..]

I had this thought too and reading it explicitly spelled out by someone else is extremely chilling. Apparently this is no only my crazy idea. Maybe no better time than now to buy some property in the UK, move there and try to get a passport?
No, but they can get short-term secondary effects such as nausea, headaches the next day, etc. Probably this category of things is what they want to control for.
Think of farmers in this instance as refineries that use soybean feed to convert Piglettes into Pork-Pigs. Tariff relief on USA brand soybean feed means that Chinese Piglette refineries will probably demand more of the USA brand feed than before because of the now lower price relative to other feed brands. However, at the same time, the refineries are experiencing a shortage of Piglette to mix with the imported soybean feed due to ASF and so they simply have lower feed needs/demands than before. You could make it more complicated by adding nuance like whether this will drive an increase in demand for imported pork as well which could, over time, stimulate USA/Worldwide feed demand as non-Chinese Piglette refineries expand and compete to fill the heightened demand for foreign pork (assuming things play out this way) but the overall gist is simply that there's pressure in two directions but probably not equal pressure.
Joining two lines, (of the same or different diameters) is very much of interest in climbing, and these knots often do "collapse." The simplest/most common knot used for this purpose is even named for fishing- the double fisherman's knot.

It is used for joining the ends of a cordelette, combining ropes for rappelling or ascending, or in a single ended version, backing up (collapsing on) a knot used to tie in to the rope, such as a figure-eight follow through or bowline.

I think you will find that equal to your desire to debate which is the strongest knot is the desire of a climber to not have to think about it- when 100 feet off the deck and on thin footing.
The IRC bridge between matrix.org and freenode disconnects almost every week, showing sometimes hundreds of clients disconnecting, then reconnecting a few hours later.

I didn't check it personally, but I heard they (understandably) have issues enforcing bans: if one of their users is banned but another one is in the channel, the banned user can still read messages.
Is it a coincidence that Trump just happens to be in the middle of an impeachment right now and he's chosen to start a war?
Point 6 would be such an amazing achievement to hit, even if adoption isn't widespread immediately.
These are the predictions that I think go against the norm, where I think it's most likely someone would take up a bet with me. Otherwise it would just be a list of "things largely stay the same, and things people predict will happen wont"

1.) UK's Brexit is an economic success, leading to a boom in Britain's tech sector and a modernized efficient state.

2.) Concerns about climate change will be a driver for terrible policy, further stifling the European economy.

3.) Probably not this decade, but it might happen near its end: Many European nations have their own vote leave, Denmark among others leave the union.

4.) The colonization of mars begins. By 2030 there is still no humans living on mars, but machines are shipped off to mars to start building the colony in which humans eventually will.
There are studies that a fragmented hospital landscape wit too many small hospitals are increasing risks here in Germany. Whether mergers would make matters any better I don‘t know.

I have a counter-prediction: the UK will leave the EU but join it again this decade and adopt the euro.
I'm an Iranian living in the states and I hate the Islamic Republic to the bone. Islamic Republic is the evil of my era.

With that being said, I truly don't understand what the U.S. plan is at this point. Do they want to make Iran another Syria? Or Iraq? Because everything they've done in this administration is aligned with one of those examples.

Basically U.S. strategy is like holding a gun to someone's head and saying "kill yourself or I will kill you".

Of course that person is gonna fight back.

I am worried about a war and I'm worried the U.S. population doesn't slightly care about government's actions outside the country. And the U.S. has been acting quite hostile for many years now.

This is truly sad news. Not because I liked or cared about that genocidal motherfucker.
Because Islamic Republic is (probably) gonna have to respond.

I think there are 2 important questions:

1. Can Iran retaliate this?

2. Are they willing to?

I think the answer to this question 1 is, yes, they can. Shadow of war has been on Iran for more than a decade now and Iran has strong influence in Iraq and Afghanistan. I'm pretty much sure they have plans ready to attack U.S. targets in case of war. Because of course Iran cannot defend itself against U.S. in a classic war.

But hopefully, the answer to question 2 is, No. Supreme leader Khamenei understand that if they try to "really" retaliate this, the war may be imminent. And over all these decades he has shown that he is afraid of war and he would step back if necessary.

But again, we've never been this close to a war. At this point any side can miscalculate the other one's reaction.

Another point I want to make:
Islamic Republic is not a match for the U.S. obviously. But you have to remember: Their pain threshold is quite different.

Islamic Republic may lose a general or a thousand soldiers. They can take it.
But if Islamic Republic responds back with a few bombings and killing of a few American diplomats, it's enough to make it a full-blown national disaster for both the administration and the country.

I'm sorry about the long post. I'm afraid for my home country, family and friends who are already crushed and destroyed by the sanctions and are now threatened by war and I'm not necessarily level-headed.

Greg Wilson made the talk "What We Actually Know About Software Development, and Why We Believe It’s True".

The gist of it is that we're too much willing to believe bloggers without experimental evidence (e.g "DSLs are good"), and not willing enough to follow/apply proven scientific results ("code reviews significantly reduce errors" ).

That was 10 years ago. Today, he writes:

> "The best way—in fact, the only way—to improve productivity is to improve quality"

This is a highly controversial statement (with which I agree, but that's not the point), stated here without supporting evidence.

Are we supposed to trust him? Where's the Greg Wilson from 10 years ago?
He could have been the evidence-based software guy giving the software industry the push it needs towards more proof/experimental-studies!
Unicode doesn't decide anything about character appearance. Unicode is just about giving a character a number (among other interesting things for text, like collation, bidirectional text, etc.).
If you tie an alpine butterfly somewhere in the rope, and then pass the other end through it, you can achieve a 2:1 pulley system in the rope. This greatly increases the compression of the lashing. Hard to explain, but you're basically using a fixed loop in the line as a pulley to increase the force applied.

Would the Logitech K810 fit the bill, or are you specifically looking for something that would magnetically attach to an iPad but still be able to detach and connect to other devices?
Yeah, it must've been at a pretty high altitude far away.

Too bad the pilot was flying past a building, blocking view of the civilians carrying indistinct objects. Maybe the pilot didn't know what he was doing. I suppose I will be downvoted for my views, but I abhor dishonesty.

I wonder why they studiously avoided even ever mentioning IBM Power architecture. It is considerably more open than MIPS or ARM, and quite a lot cleaner than either has become.
Depends on what your goals are. But in the video industry, porn websites are usually at the forefront of innovation and are early adopters for a lot of startups. They have demanding competition and constant supply of users consuming content. I think working at a company like PornHub would be fascinating and challenging.

Male Diabetes Solution
"I'm a fifty-nine-year-old male, wedded, with three youngsters. Around four years prior, in the wake of being burdened with Type II diabetes for around ten years, I saw that I was constantly worn out. Moreover, I was very peevish, irritable, and experienced issues keeping up focus for broadened timeframes. Else I was feeling admirably, with the special case that I was getting inept, experiencing issues keeping up an erection during sex. At the time, I had no information whether these conditions were interrelated.

I got burned by this with RQ.

Say you have an object, the object load some config from a settings module which in turn fetch from env. No matter how many times I restarted RQ, the config won't changed. Due to the code changes, the old config cause the job to crash and keep retrying.

Until I got frustrated and get into Redis, pop the job, and yet all the setting was in there. In other words, RQ serialize the whole object together with all properties.

RQ isn't that good IMHO. You will have to add monitoring, health check, node ping, scheduler, retrying, middleware like Celery eventually it grow into a home grown job queue system that make it harder to on board new devs.

Just use Celery. Celery isn't that bloated. It has many UI to support it and backend and very flexible. Celery beat schedule is great as well.
