I'm a full stack software engineer with ~4 years experience developing full stack applications. If you need React work done, chances are I can help!

My experience includes building responsive and performant user interfaces using React/Redux from designs or from scratch as well as creating robust APIs using TypeScript/Node.

Some other things I enjoy: modernizing codebases using tools like ESLint and Prettier, autogenerating documentation, optimizing build times in CIs, refactoring code, adding tests.

Fluent in English/French/Polish.
Farmers Fight John Deere over Who Gets to Fix an $800k Tractor
Exactly people would behave differently if they knew it was permanent vs temporary.
I'm also a fan of Rancher. Especially the newer versions. It significantly simplifies the process of spawning up and managing a Kubernetes cluster.

I do think that Kubernetes is overkill if you just want to spawn a couple of server instances.
But if you want to build a complex system which scales and you happen to have experienced developers on the team who understand how to build scalable systems and who have experience with Kubernetes then you'd be foolish not to use K8s IMO.

That said, having that specific talent and experience on the team is critical or else you're just wasting your time and money with K8s - And that talent is very hard to find.
There is no point building some complex architecture for Kubernetes if that architecture is not designed to scale linearly from the ground up.

Kubernetes can allow you to operate highly scalable systems easily and elegantly, but simply using Kubernetes doesn't itself guarantee in any way that your systems will be scalable and will benefit from K8s at all (aside from pretty UI).
Very few people can build systems that scale and also meet business requirements.
Very good to hear that. How do you intend to use ML (I read one of the founders has an ML background)? Also what makes the service different from healthgrades other than facilitating the video call? How do you intend to ensure your providers follow hippa and/or aren’t charlatans? I’m genuinely intrigued... so above aren’t intended to shoot down your business.

Bureaucracy is rarely as expensive as aggressive profiteering.

In fact the opposite is more likely. If pharma is nationalised - or better, internationalised - it would become economic to fund solutions for common conditions that aren't currently considered profitable.
Alternatives?
Nobody truly believes "FOSS is free"... sure there's cost, you just gotta figure out what the cost is for you! (that's the trick a "free" product has a unique price for each "buyer", here in lies the beauty and the opportunity of the game). There's no "market price" so it's tricky, but when you can compute the cost and it happens to be very low for your team (and preferably high for competitor's teams), you have a competitive advantages.

OSS is all about leveraging "hidden" advantages agains competitors that have clear and obvious financial advantages over you. If you get it right, you win!

Of course, if you don't like risks and don't like "uncomputable" prices, or "prices unique to each buyer", then sure, be conservative, and stay away from FOSS.
The thing about law enforcement use is that for however bad civilian use is, the consequences of false positives are severe.

Missed out on a job opportunity or social interaction unfairly? That sucks.

But here we are talking potential for wrongful incarceration. And since some places still have the death penalty, theoretically it could lead to the state killing people based on misidentification.
For my personal projects, k8s is so useful that I wouldn't ever build a server by hand again. I can spin up my blog or whatever easily on one cluster, and if it becomes too expensive I can just move elsewhere, or if I want to reduce my costs, I could just run a single-node-cluster (I don't need HA) on a DO droplet or something and still get the ease of being able to destroy and rebuild my apps anytime I want to. It might be "overkill", but so are most of the tools I use each day. Of course, I never create my own clusters, but it isn't that hard to follow a tutorial if I had to.
The Graham-Blumenthal Bill: A New Path for DOJ to Finally Break Encryption
The combined disposable income of an entire family should be enough to afford housing for one great grandmother. UBI probably won't help or hurt her at all.
>> problem is rarely that they are undeserved but that they are stuck with an nearly good enough computer platform and too much complexity

This is true for large, enterprisey companies.
But I'm talking about companies in $7-15M range who have bookkeepers downloading 35 excels each month and then run their custom Excel process to enter into a basic ERP system, so they can send out emails to each of the 35 employees to collect receipts. That kind of thing is so prevalent and accepted, the biggest hurdle here is convincing that there is a better way rather than "hire another bookkeeper".
I stand corrected. My recollection was that AnkiDroid (the Android app) didn't provide the capability of creating new cards, but I just checked and the current version of AnkiDroid does let you create new cards.
Aye, and that's my problem, social networks promote themselves as "open forums" when it's convenient for them and note that they were technically lying when they said it when it's inconvenient. I'd really love it if that public deception could be disarmed.

Maybe we just need better advertising standards enforcement to fine these guys into the ground whenever they talk about how their platform "enables open communication on a global scale" and other marketing BS.
In no way am I arguing that you shouldn't wipe your data, use encrypted filesystems, or anything like that. That is a totally legitimate thing to do.

We're just talking about drawing attention to yourself from governmental agencies that probably don't have your well-being as their highest concern.

Using state-of-the-art encryption to keep your files safe is good. But if it leaves any evidence that you are indeed using encryption, you are potentially drawing attention to yourself. And people should be aware of that.
Bernie Sanders has a job he’s not going to get fired from if he doesn’t show up for months at a time because he’s on the campaign trail.
I worked at company with k8s+rancher, and was constantly bumping into rancher specific issues. I am not sure if rancher is really worth the effort.
Yep and I'm saying the reason DO isn't able to call you up to see why your card expired and to get you updated is because you're not paying enough to expect that level of service from them. There simply isn't enough "profit" from a service that costs so little to allow for that many customer service reps.
No, forensic watermarking would be done by the HDMI source (e.g. a PC in this case). I'm not aware of that being done in reality though.
This is absolutely the goal. Not to mention bringing this to other design tools. Sketch, Adobe XD, etc.
This made me laugh, I just wanted to say thanks.
It's true that with age, one realizes that one won't be around much longer. And one realizes even more clearly just how little effect one person can have on the world.

But alternatively, sometimes people who are detached from a problem can do a far better job on it. And people who have seen a lot are better equipped to put things in context than those who haven't.
I'm not convinced it is a "new logo". It appears to be the old logo, with some new styling. To my eyes, a line drawing of the new version would be no different that that of the old one.

As much as I value my design education, stuff like this really rubs me the wrong way. Not the new appearance, but just the idea that this variation counts for even a day's work.
I don't think it does. If one blindly copies a command to their terminal, this is a good lesson not to do so. Too many projects suggest `curl foo | sh` as the "quick and ready to go" method for installation which is equally as bad as rm -rf in the wild.
Hey Jeff! Isn't it also incorrect because

WHERE DATE_TRUNC('year', o.ts) = '2019-01-01'::timestamptz

will filter out customers without orders even before the HAVING (because DATE_TRUNC of NULL is NULL)? I mean, I guess you're still demonstrating the perils of NULL with that ;)
Those article quotas aren't going to reach themselves...

I think his statement that these UBI experiments yield little insight into how actual UBI could play out full-scale holds water without a source.
"Man.

Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money.

Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health.

And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present;

the result being that he does not live in the present or the future;

he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived."
For a lot of companies I think it's actually the key to being able to expand and hire in the first place. Most startups aren't choosing between "should I hire someone to do this, or buy a solution?"--they're choosing between "Can I do this by buying a solution or do we go without? (either this, or something else because we need to build this)"
> I don't know anyone who would be less likely to be successful as a result of UBI.

I have an acquaintance who works at min wage jobs just long enough to qualify for unemployment, then he manages to get laid off. He lives off the unemployment until it runs out, then gets another min wage job, and the cycle repeats as long as I've known him. He's quite content with this arrangement.
yes, it would.

Costs start really getting heavy with EB at a certain point, since you're spinning up 1+ ASG & LB per service (a tier is an ASG and a LB, possibly a DB). I wouldn't build a microservice architecture against EB, at _all_.

I'd say EB probably is cost effective up to, IDK, maybe 3 services with 3 nodes per ASG. Then you're breaking even or worse with k8s ops cost, and now you're looking at "how much time (= money) is it to manage k8s with KOPS" vs "how much are we spending on EB". KOPS is a very low-effort solution once you get it rolling.
It’s a logical challenge to the ecological validity of the study.

No citation is needed for straightforward observations.
I don't know if that's true. In the nonideal world a Faraday cage must have a minimum thickness to function, which is a factor of the wavelengths you are trying to block and the conductivity of the material, I think.
agreed, a lot of it is niche knowledge that you could only gain by working in such a field or having close access to a company.

Consulting within a niche is one way to do this.

They load Google Tag Manager, Google Retargeting Pixel, Segment, Facebook Connect, and SmartLook (which looks like some kind of analytics package).

This should not be controversial as this would be found on pretty much any website that runs advertising and does user analytics, it's not really something to get all worked up over.

Also, I would probably recommend that small startups not put much effort into complying with EU regulations because:

1. EU regulators have limited time and are very unlikely to go after small startups.

2. As a result, the benefits of (costly) compliance aren't worth the costs.
If you are a user of k8s then the experience relatively smooth and painless since all the complexity is hidden behind the API you're calling to provision resources for you.

If you are an operator or k8s then you've entered the nightmare zone where you have to make all of those endpoints actually work and do the right thing with code that written 17 days ago. Unlimited terrible middleware to try and form static services into dynamic boxes.

k8s was not designed for someone to deploy on-prem that doesn't have a dedicated team of developers and ops people to work on just k8s.
There is no need to nationalise at all. The solution is not reduced competition but increased competition.

The power of the pharmaceutical industry comes from artificial monopolies in the form of patents, approvals and import restrictions. Since the public funds the initial research anyway, those limitations can be reduced until competition exists and medicine is once again affordable.
:) That's the magic we hope to recreate.

We support all families! If there is an additional factor (such as autism) we take care to make sure parents see us as a support for them, and not a replacement for whatever supports they have in place for their child. But lots of parents appreciate having a partner in their support system. Lots of our coaches have extensive experience with specific diagnoses.

> never make it impossible (until quantum cryptography becomes mainstream maybe?)

Even in the 'quantum cryptography' world it still has a hole. In order for the client to "use" (i.e., view, play, etc.) the encrypted stream, the client needs:

1) the encrypted stream data

2) the key necessary to decrypt the data (because without the key, the client can't decrypt the data in order to play/view it).

Item #2 is where the breaks will always occur, even with quantum cryptography. An attacker does not have to break the cryptography, they just have to find where the key exists that allows decryption and once they have that key, they can decrypt as they like (at least for that stream, assuming one-off encryption for that one stream).

If you give people a locked box, and you also give them the key necessary to unlock the box, some number of them will use the key to unlock the box, even if you tell them not to do so.
Agriculture.

There are plenty of companies trying to serve ag with what they think ag needs. Most of them fail.

Modern farmers are spreadsheet jockeys with Ag Economics degrees. They are NOT dumb hayseeds like they are often portrayed! But they typically don’t have a lot of domain knowledge around software. Smaller farmers are used to making and fixing their own tools (all know how to weld); bigger farmers run corporations with a lot of employees.

They are unlikely to be interested in a SSAS. Why? The tax law for farmers in the USA and Europe revolves around tax treatment which favors cap ex (which makes sense — they need to buy big equipment which is used only briefly each year. It’s hard to share since all the other farmers in your area need that equipment at the same time). So understand your market and figure out what their specific need is, then meet it.
+1 to trunk based. There's obviously a lot there, but one of the best bits is the idea that each release deserves a branch. It makes hotfixes, ci/cd, and rollbacks all much simpler to reason about.
I can see why you got flagged, but even being a millennial that's a response I hope catches on.
Software can't fix aircraft idling, but maybe it can help. And ATC has the final say on routes for IFR aircraft (except emergencies), but there are a thousand VFR airplanes in the air right now. I think it's possible we can do better than GPS direct.

I don't have a solution for either of these things, just enough intuition as a pilot and software engineer to say "maybe there's something there".
> you've just disguised an unsolved math problem as a computer program

But that's the point! The halting problem hides inside of it all of the complexity of math, including the dark tricky self-referential corners. Saying that you can solve the halting problem is tantamount to saying you've solved Godel incompleteness.

If you applied the halting proof diagonalization step to yourself (modeled as a machine built of out physics) you would find that it spit out something very complicated that ultimately amounted to a program equivalent of a statement of the form "The physics machine that I am cannot prove this statement". If you proved the statement then that would disprove it, which is the core of the problem.
It's amazing how we used to read entire stacks of bound leaves of paper. Some contained dozens of events and interwoven narratives. I don't have time for that.

It would be insane for her family to not take her into their home and take care of her, which unfortunately the US doesn’t do as much as other cultures.
I didn't know there was a name for this, but I've been doing it for 2 years now and I don't think I could go back.
Woah, cool thank you.
> If you instead give $10k/year to that individual in cash he would not be able to buy the same level of care for the same price on the private market

How do you know that? Countries with much worse welfare than the US often have much better prices than the US when it comes to healthcare.

Maybe healthcare prices were allowed to grow so much only because insurance pays for most of it anyway. If that changes, healthcare providers would have to charge more realistic amounts, especially for common procedures like dental checkups and medications like insulin.
Show HN: Mnmlnws – a fast and minimal news aggregator
Hi, looks interesting. I'm still figuring out if it's a good idea for us, but I noticed a typo in the FAQs you probably care about: "By helping you to think proactively about your goals and the environment you want to create to your family"
You get used to that cold shock, I take a cold shower every day for many many years, and quite frankly I don't feel a "cold shock" anymore, even in winter.
It's really just requires a bit of training to get less sensitive to cold; on the other hand I also have a tendency to get warm a lot quicker, which can be a bit annoying sometimes. I keep my house at 18C and no warmer, when many people I know want 21C or sometime more...
Not bizarre at all - it's perfectly fine - this poster could never run a service without kubernetes.

Doesn't make any kind of judgement, just stating their personal fact.

I could never make a souffle without a recipe. Do you find this statement bizarre as well?
While the move to factories was only being completed by the end of the 18th century, the process had started much earlier, in laying the groundwork for the creation of industry, from the enclosures to the transformation of the peasantry to farmers who rent their land (rather than tithes to their lord). The market for land leases, necessary for the creation of the English capitalist class, flourished in the 16th and 17th centuries.

>However, choice between sacrificing time in order to accumulate capital is an easy one, as this has been done billions of times.

It's curious why so much land had to be expropriated forcefully if it were such an obvious choice to the modern-day noble savages - and even moreso when one considers modern union activity and intense revolts against the increasing duration and intensity of the working day in America, and to no lesser extent other countries which did not have the privilege of being so readily acquainted with capital. These are no edge cases either. The largest debate in the literature being the question of why the majority does not rise up against the unfair conditions implemented by a minority. Whether you subscribe to the false consciousness solution or the capability solution, both allow you to say that the "rational choice" of not rising up (or accumulating capital) is simply an element of playing the game. The only difference between the theories turns on the point of whether the players know it's a game or not.
Through the ‘90’s BMWs were well thought out and made. Some time in the ‘00’s that changed.
That's actually how I did it at first, but then I realized that it was silly because you always run the first quoted function right off anyway so it's cleaner to just require a Boolean value.

(There's a way using Category Theory to firm up that assertion into proper math, but I'm not good enough at CT to do that.)

Distributed transactions are a non-starter – I already said I want to run master-slave with synchronous replication, which is basically what you want to do in >99% of cases where you have a DB with important stuff in it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Consul, lacking a mesh of its own, is leveraging the early 1990's era trick of using round robin DNS to split load over available servers.

Caching those values for very long subverts the point of the feature.
This article is just a guy whining about how he personally doesn't like a logo. This logo is just fine, and it's certainly better than the old one that tried to look like it was made of physical material. Obviously the logos that are applied to the cars will look metallic because, well, they will be made of metal. This is a better logo in general, especially for print and online purposes. No excessive fake gradients and material renders, simpler lines and colors that will reduce well, and it goes back to the original state of their logo before they piled a bunch of fake chrome on it in the last couple decades.

That's what's exciting for me. If I have two strengths related to startups, it's being able to write code and get up to speed in new fields quickly.
The first thing I would say is to resist typing your kids as xyz. I think everyone is genuinely afraid / hyper vigilant of kids who are “on the spectrum.” (As an example)... don’t give your kid a label. Second advice would be don’t evaluate your kids without evaluating yourself. Your kids are a reflection of you. As for books, I can’t say there’s a complete book that I can recommend. At best you find snippets here and there that provide ideas. The best thing we’ve done is connect with a psychologist. The kids don’t see her, actually don’t even know she exists.
