FULL-STACK / PRODUCT ENGINEER

We're looking for remote engineers to build web applications and APIs. The ideal candidate is looking to grow into position of technical leadership in product development.

Experience with full-stack web development, Python, PostgreSQL, and Linux is required. Competency or interest in data visualization, UI, UX, and design are desired.

Email available in profile.
Of course, but a) joke and b) if you haven't been exposed to it before--and in many cases, even if you have--it can seem pretty daunting.
The way this works is that the SSM module just implements a general-purpose TCP tunnel. The interactive session with ssm start-session --target is a specialization of that, as is the ssh-over-ssm functionality. If you marshal the CLI tool or libraries correctly, you can tunnel anything. If at all, you can ssh over ssm and then use the native SSH port forwarding/proxying capabilities to get the rest of your tools to work.

Is yodeling telephony?
Personally I wouldn't trade my privacy for an emergency.

But it seems that this app proposed for the EU is built with privacy in mind and if that's the case then I won't mind using it.

N.b. in UK and other countries the location of your phone is already tracked via the mobile towers it connects to. It's not a concern only if you leave it at home.

So I'm actually hoping for an app that respects privacy because mobile operators have already started sharing this data.
Zoom has about 130,000 subdomains. Cisco, established 20 years earlier and operating in the same space and many more, has 45,000.

About 40-50k of Zoom's subdomains are customers. Company.Zoom.Us.

About 5k of the subdomains reference MMR. Likely this means "Meet Me Rooms" which are seen in data centers.

About 200 contain the word tracking, 300 the word face, and 400 the word elasticsearch. Something like 700 contain the word vip. Maybe 1000 gitlab. They really like gitlab! These are not customers again and the whole structure is impressive and strictly followed.

IPA is the most used term after zoom of course. I think it is a reference to "international phonetic alphabet" for the China based engineers. Anita is used around 4K times. Likely this references the CFO since 2018.

Most interestingly, every US state and every Chinese province has about 10-20 subdomains carved out for it.

So xj-restricted.acv.ipa.zoom.us refers to "Xinjiang".

And xz-influxdata.amp.ipa.zoom.us refers to "Tibet".

Finally as a last example "va-accounts.asset2.ipa.zoom.us" refers to Virginia one would assume. All the other states are there. Didn't check other countries though.

Have never worked at like an MPLS company but overall fascistic fastidiously well designed naming schema that they had the discipline to adhere to. These can get out of hand so fast at companies so again cool.

> My ideal, would be a strong government that represents the interests of the People and defends them from the Elite and powerful. Related to this, its job would be to defend the Free Market from the Capitalists. (Where the "Free Market" is an unobtainable ideal where everybody has perfect information and nobody is coerced, while the "Capitalists" do everything in their power to hide information and coerce the players to their own unequal benefit.)

This is largely the position of the Classical Liberal, which used to be a big part of the Republican party, but that has been discarded in favor of big business and religious conservatism: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_liberalism

_The Economist_ magazine in the UK is probably the most widely-known promulgator of the classical liberal position today.

It's not going to work if you think that a black list will do it, and the problem isn't sites like Reddit, but actual porn sites (and such). You cannot have a complete, accurate black list, let alone maintain it that way.

For kids, a whitelist of approved domains should work. If you don't think Reddit should be on it, you don't add Reddit. No brainer.

The problem with DNS is mobile devices; your custom DNS runs only in your own intranet, not whatever devices connect to.

Undoubtedly there are hacks for that, but they are mucky compared to the pure DNS solution, which can be perpetrated entirely externally to devices.

Wasm doesn't have its own GC, but just like Go binaries for other compilation targets include a runtime with GC, the Wasm binary includes that as well I think. That's regarding Go in general.

The post is using TinyGo, which explicitly mentions it uses a GC and doesn't exclude the Wasm target (which otherwise is sometimes mentioned if there's something it does differently): https://tinygo.org/lang-support/#garbage-collection

He was the CEO when I was trying to get T-Mobile to resolve my problem in a reasonable way. He may not have invented the unconscionable contracts, but he certainly could have simply stopped enforcing them.

Also, I'm less than convinced that he was somehow a leader in eliminating contracts. I think it was simply an inevitable result of changing economics, and he was likely just dragged along with everyone else.
TIOBE index methodology: https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/programming-languages-defi...

Basically they only look at number of search engine hits for "<language> programming". That's surprisingly meager. I think a better index of programming language popularity would use more signals: job listings, open source activity, stackoverflow questions, surveys of programmers and companies, etc.

Also it would be good to specify what's meant by "popularity". I'd be mostly interested in each language's share of paid programmer time, so the signals above should be weighted to get the best approximation to that truth.

None of that is "necessary". Rust doesn't have a BDFL and they've gotten along fine.

But I agree that the current situation is a mess. The "official" solutions are suboptimal and none of the unofficial solutions, which are pretty good, have enough clout to meaningfully simplify the ecosystem (held hostage by the majority of users with just pip).

So the ecosystem is kind of frozen in place. PyPA doesn't seem to have the will/capacity to do anything more than very small, incremental changes.
Despite numerous installs, I can't actually directly open BlueJeans. If I open it from the start menu it hangs. If I open a direct link, it works (usually) and takes me right to the meeting, then I can end the meeting and use the program as normal.

The lack of quality control that means a program can't be simply opened cold is baffling.
Most of the examples that Josiah gives of his friends are of genetic disorders. I too would rather not get sick in the first place, but when you are sick, you are sick.
Yes, that is correct. I spent a lot of time on issue #5 to make as user-friendly as I could, but the only way I found to not have all the C++/JS conversion overhead was to keep the pointer to the external C++-parsed object. There might have other options that I haven't thought of, so if anyone knows of a better approach, let me know.
Yeah, what kind of criterion is that? "The best STD" and all that...

That's not stylable from CSS though, so you have to pass JS props and can't use selectors. It also duplicates styling strings across all similar style attributes which is not good for memory or perf.
I agree. This really seems like high impact too. A first party, supported solution would solve this mess. Getting the Python dependency build story under control I would include in this category. In this department, I think Conda shows the way. They leverage Azure Pipelines to build much of the c dependencies ahead of time, and just send binaries down the pipe (at least, that's the high level overview as I understand it).

I can't see a world where the Python Software Foundation can't get support for this, I think they have the contacts at the big companies to get it funded.

The lead Python has on machine learning, data science, and scientific computing won't last forever (though, I think its safe to say no matter what, it ain't going anywhere.
TikTok is distributing some incredibly dangerous material during this pandemic - people claiming in tiktok videos their religious faith makes them immune to the virus and showing a Corona infected person hugging others with messages like - "No virus is going to prevent me from loving my fellow human being". This isnt a oneoff video, there are a whole bunch of them and they are going viral. Completely at a loss at how to contain the spread of this dangerous information during a pandemic.

PS: I am consciously choosing to not post a link to any of those videos here to prevent them from going even more viral.

According to wiktionary [1] mighty is a reasonable interpretation of deinos.

> New Latin dīnosaurus, from Ancient Greek δεινός (deinós, “terrible, awesome, mighty, fearfully great”) + σαῦρος (saûros, “lizard, reptile”). Coined by paleontologist Richard Owen in 1842.

So dinosaur can be reasonably interpreted to mean "mighty reptile".

In fact the next sentence from the wikipedia page you linked suggests that was the intended meaning:

> Though the taxonomic name has often been interpreted as a reference to dinosaurs' teeth, claws, and other fearsome characteristics, Owen intended it merely to evoke their size and majesty.

This is consistent with the meaning of deinos: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%CE%B4%CE%B5%CE%B9%CE%BD%CF%8...
