Looking for systems engineering and backend engineering roles.

Experienced in building distributed systems that operate at scale.
Most recently, was the only data engineer for 15 million user video game that routinely saw 1,000-10,000+ req/s per microservice.
nobody fucking cares
I wrote that article in 2000, and the really scary thing for me is that I'm now seeing code that obviously either came right out of it, or is only a few copy-pasta steps away from it that's just taken as "the way things are done".

For the record -- it's one way to do it, but the code in there was primarily written to be as easy to understand as possible, not to be the World's Best Controller Implementation.
Usually, people are even more against private killings.
The blur is done on the frontend, of my app ? Or the receiver app ?

It makes a huge difference.

The later is basically the same as not having any blur.

I don't get why people idolize Elon Musk so much.
I have to agree that Zoom just doesn't seem to care very much about privacy or security. Once? Sure, maybe an honest mistake. But, come on.

Also, I have been enjoying this: https://github.com/arkadiyt/zoom-redirector which highlights how optional the use of the native client is.
"Work from home Wednesday" could be marketed by pajama companies, in the same way that "casual Friday" was marketed by Levi Strauss. ;-)
Maybe ChromeOS could do since it is the closest to this idea.

But distro-wise, if that's the case then the second last sentence in my previous reply is an unfortunate tautology which doesn't look good for those who just wants work done or needs to reproduce/trace bugs in subsystems. :(
that makes sense, thanks. not to belabor the point, but what about segmenting/tagging network traffic through a TPM or a user-controlled pathway? then you could route facetime through the TPM-mediated pathway and the rest through the user-controlled one (assuming cost isn't prohibitive).
There's something called "Macaroons" that can be used for this.

I was the one who posted the original post. The title is definitely sensationalist, and I considered changing it from the original title that Dr. Zayner originally gave his blog post, but didn't really know what to change it to.

The post is clearly written from a sense of loss. Dr. Zayner just lost someone close to him. But, he brings up many important points about life and death that I thought were worth sharing here.
I almost knew exactly who it was going to be when they mentioned AlphaGo Developer.

For those who aren't that well versed in RL, I recommend watching his lectures at UCL (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pWv7GOvuf0). Really clear explanations that went hand in hand when I was reading Sutton and Barto's introductory book.
Somewhat of a chicken-and-egg problem. If the West was successful due to colonization, how is it that the West became the colonizers in the first place, and not the colonized?
Ask HN: If not Zoom. What to use for large group video with breakout rooms?
So Zoom is getting lots of valid privacy heat. One big issue is that it’s currently the best tool for large facilitated meetings (think 50+ ppl) where the breakout room is the killer feature here and you can auto break people into smaller group chats as part of running a large group session.

The use case is public video meetups, so using say Microsoft Teams would be excessive.

Anything else out there that’s up for the challenge?

(The other killer feature they have is URL based session invites that just makes it much easier to get people on a call)
Google Meet seems to work pretty well if you have G Suite: https://gsuite.google.com/products/meet/
When you copy paste something, you should indicate so. Ideally you should source the quote.

Host certificates are fine, but user certs are pointless landmines when features like AuthorizedKeysCommand exist. why worry about revocations, expiries and all that noise when you can simply have some script just pull the allowed keys? sure maybe login is a bit slower, but does that matter much?
I think in the general case, say you made a black box PID controller then attach it to some system it is supposed to control then you have to tune it, which isn't so much "guessing" but a specific refining process. If you have a model for the system under control, then sure, it's math
Does it matter which part of Zoom is causing the issue? It ends up making it shady either way.
Cool! Is there a copy of the Swift BitPaint code anywhere? I couldn't see it. Just trying to gauge how much this could support.
It hasn't. You don't have these citations to hand because (actual, peer reviewed, factual) evidence does not exist.

There are lot that of options that setup.cfg doesn't support. "use_2to3" is one.
Why was the US removed from the Johns Hopkins CORVID-19 map?
To me this implies that the installation process on Mac OS should be improved. The fact that they have to resort to these types of things to make it “just work” for people suggests that the official way of doing things is less than ideal.

They are aiming to make the process completely idiot proof, and good for them. If you’ve ever watched a nontechnical user try to install an application you’ll understand why they had to do all this.

I recently watched One of my friends who has only ever used an iPad and not a laptop try to install an application downloaded from the internet. Things we take for granted like “find your downloads folder” were not obvious. I had to explain what the Finder is, and it seemed laughably not obvious to someone who has never used it before.
The parent is trolling.

I don't know if this is the way, but ~20 years ago I was curious about running emulators for 68k Macs on PCs.. there was vMac which emulated black&white Mac Plus, and basilisk II which emulated a macII. They could both run system 7. That was true circa 1998. I imagine the hardware needs are not that high.

Thanks for the nice kick-in-the-ass response. I needed that.

Not sure why I defaulted to defeatism on this topic. Guess it’s time I add a new hobby.
yeah, but if we cut the number in sick then those with genetic disorders could get more hands-on treatment.
Sounds more like they're not helping your argument.
Because it is very likely that governments (such as the UK) will attempt to force all traffic to the censored one by law.
Uhh yeah but why would tiktok pay all the hosting and bandwidth fees so some competitor could have a cut of their revenue stream (by inserting ads or whatever the competitor plans to do to turn a profit)?

Why would tiktok spend the immense time and engineering effort required to create and never break a public API?
We'll see what happens with T mobile in the coming years, but Legere definitely made T mobile just feel way better. They started adding all these seemingly weird features as part of their plans but it has made me a customer for 5 years. I get free WiFi on a lot of flights, 15GB of hotspot for updating my Tesla, Netflix, and international which is my favorite thing about it. I get unlimited texting and data in almost every country and I've tried it in Peru, Morocco, Iceland, Mexico, KURDISTAN, etc. It's small things and honestly I could probably save money if I just managed all those features myself but it really made my phone plan just feel more useful. My girl and I also signed on every Tuesday to see if we'd get a free coffee or donut on T mobile Tuesdays. Call me a sucker but he really did make T Mobile feel fun and exiting.

Kind of like Elon Musk. He called that guy a rapist and he's a bit weird/asshole, but he also made several successful companies that have benefited the world in a positive way. The world isn't black and white and I honestly think people should be judged by the combined weight of their sins and deeds. We're complex human beings.
I regularly have complaints that people can't hear me over my laptop's fan when using slack video conferencing, or jokes about hair driers. Computer is a MBP16.

Seems like they need to get their CPU use under control.
FYI, if you're a visual learner, check out my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC923b-omXUs0dnWOTDD7FhA, but be warned there's not as much there as I'd like.

I do have all the material from "PID Without a PhD" in there -- just watch the three videos with "PID" in the title.

I also recommend Brian Douglas's channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/ControlLectures if for no other reason than because I haven't posted a new video for three years -- but then, he's been posting on some Matlab channel, so you'll want to start with his and then move to that one.
> Where are the GNU apps for mobile?

I'm sure they would have issues with supporting the locked-down nature of both of the major platforms, even though both (I believe) have nothing against GPL software on their "stores" today.
AFAIK, the recommended way to do it now is to use a live usb/cd.
I'm sure you weren't, but it was flamebait because it was predictable that the comment would blow up into a flamewar. The issue is the expected value of the subthread, i.e. the sum of the probability distribution of responses.

Ever used IDA Pro?
That’s my understanding as well, but that to me also means we should be telling people wearing masks helps; either it protects the wearer or those around the wearer. In either case we have less spread, which is the goal.

If we have a shortage of masks, either surgical or n95 respirators there are other things we can do to prioritize who gets them. I just don’t think lying / misleading the public about their effectiveness is the way to do it.

Telecommuting with the Amiga
He's been working on Go for a very long time. Since he was a PhD student. Though I am sure the team helped, don't think he wasn't the main driving influence behind the algorithms and featurization of the problem.
Where did you hear this rumor?
I echo the sentiments about documentation. It works great but they really need to verbosely document every command option and usage. They seem like they’re trying so hard to keep the website clean and minimal, but docs are not the place for that.
OK, so this is less than 1% the size of supermassive black holes:

> Weighing in at about 50,000 times the mass of our Sun, the black hole is smaller than the supermassive black holes (at millions or billions of solar masses) that lie at the cores of large galaxies, but larger than stellar-mass black holes formed by the collapse of a massive star.

And then about this question ...

> Does a supermassive black hole grow from an IMBH?

It'd take at least hundreds of mergers to get even small supermassive black holes. So does that mean that mergers mainly occurred when stuff was closer together?
My favorite tool for this example is Whimsical. How many mind mapping and flow chart tools are there?

Whimsical built a new one with way less features and I’m suddenly creating flowcharts again because of how refined it is. Refined because all the cruft has been stripped out.

Choose a business process AVD build the MVP of it. The key here is also that it has to be lightning fast with a modern a aesthetic. But use something like Tailwind and prioritize the speed of every user interaction and you have a winner.
Do note that Python the language is developed by a separate group as Python the packaging ecosystem. So even when Guido was a BDFL he completely stayed out of the packaging situation.

And there is a packaging BDFL, but there's a severe lack of time and effort in the form of volunteers to tackle a lot of the projects, big or small. Plus rolling these things out takes years and it takes even longer to gain traction as people are often reluctant to change their build tools once things work.

As an example of timelines, take what my blog post covers. PEP 518 and the concept of pyproject.toml was conceived in 2016, four years ago. Getting PEP 517 finalized and it all worked into pip didn't happen until pip 19 in January 2019, over a year ago (https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/news/#id203). And a year later there's still enough of a need to educate folks that I wrote this blog post to help get the word out.

IOW the timelines are huge and the pay-off is way down the line. And that's if you manage to be motivated enough to do the work. Burn-out is a huge problem in the packaging world. I mean reading that you think "it is a fucking mess and it's unacceptable" doesn't motivate me and others to keep trying to improve things if that's how us volunteers will be treated for years to come while we try to rectify the situation. Add on to the fact that we aren't getting paid for this and it makes the idea of pulling out my laptop tonight to work on some packaging stuff feel rather pointless.

So please be understanding that people are working on things as best they can and that overt negativity about it all will work against you getting what you want.
That is an important point. I would like to think that people would be careful enough in their search for treatment that this would never happen, but it will and does happen to some degree.

A lot of the gouging we currently see happens through FDA-approved treatments that are given monopolies due to regulatory capture.
Yep, still working on adding the search feature :) Should be up in a couple of days.
Hey this looks really sharp. It seems a bit like Processing but for .NET, is that a fair characterization and if not how would you say your project differs? (Asking only for elucidation and to maybe stimulate some discussion on the thread, definitely not commenting in the vein of “Processing does this so what’s the point”. A world with more tools like this is a good thing.)
Thanks for reaching out, I appreciate it!
If you have anyone around who is looking for passionate front end developer feel free to share my contact :)
Unfortunately, the threats these days are also probably more sophisticated, and most people weren't using ICQ for sensitive business meetings.
I realize it's frustrating, but comments like this aren't allowed in threads like this. See the rules at the top.

Even though most people don't lie about things like this, not all such comments can be trusted, and we have absolutely no way to adjudicate them.

> The supposed root exploit found in Zoom also requires physical, logged-in access to the machine, at which point a Zoom exploit is the least of your problems

No, it does not; 9to5Mac is just playing a game of telephone from the original blog post and the actual issue only requires code execution on the machine.
As I understand it, in the U.S. a business has to actually engage in anti-competitive practices in order to be punished, while Europe doesn't really have the concept of a benevolent monopoly, which is why lots of corporations get hit by antitrust laws in Europe for doing the same things they get away with in America.
Meet is garbage. Video drops a lot and you can’t even tile anything on their apps.
Pre-dotcom bust there was this lady from The Daily Deal. She harassed the shit out of us with her perkiness. No way we would spend IBM's money on a new website. But she was a no means yes woman. I asked her for $50,000 of free inventory to test if it was as good as she said it was. Free is always best and it kicked ass. Then she gave birth to twins and named them Joe, my boss, and my name. That was a bridge too far. Daily Deal became a favorite of IBM's and they ended up investing millions in it for B2B marketing. Sometimes stalking works. But I don't recommend it.
Hi! So the plan is to include job details on the primary site (i.e. gowfh.com) itself, but if I'm hearing you right, the website shouldn't list jobs that require you to sign in to be able to see the job details and/or apply - right?
> They typically get away with bad practices until they really get massive

They get away with it because they aren't liable for any damage caused by exploitation of vulnerabilities caused by their bad practices. If they had to indemnify the victims of their negligence, I guarantee they'd care a lot more about doing things right.
Maybe? Josiah's post really isn't really about that barrier to better care though. It is more about "corporate greed", perverse incentives, and barriers due to regulation.
I'd like to know that too. Worthy of a downvote until substantiated.
On the ARM TrustZone, maybe? Or whatever co-processor run Widevine.
To those saying SpaceX is subject to ITAR and defence standards, what does that say for anyone in healthcare, finance, California or Europe?

Zoom is looking like it’s closer to Discord than Slack.
You have got to be shitting me.
Even if they weren't supplying the DoD with anything, rocket technology is missile technology. (Granted, liquid fueled ICBMs are old-school, but they'd nevertheless still be under ITAR even if they took no government contracts.)
> of yore

It isn't 2005 anymore; which is about when their approach to security would fit in.
Yes, but what do you know about its security?
Yeah because if some people don’t use something correctly that means “as a general statement” it doesn’t work.

If the brakes on a car are not properly maintained and replaced, the car won’t stop and will be dangerous therefore “cars don’t work”.

That doesn’t make sense. How about we tell people the truth and allow them to use it to make better decisions. A lot of people want to do the right thing but are disempowered when truth is withheld or replaced with falsehoods.
I saw this too. Very strange.
Sure they can, Apple would still have full control over push functionality. Web or native doesn't matter.
We've moved it now, a la https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22752509. Thanks!
Yeah. Security and privacy preclude performance.
Like ... i dont need a Ferrari with an activated self destruct. ill take the camry, thanks.
The undermining wasn’t done by the “people” in this case, it was done by the authorities putting out contradictory and misleading information. How would the public go about evaluating what information to trust now? Should they wear masks or not? Or just go with the flavor of the day?

Like I said before I understand the need to prioritize, but there’s other ways to do that. Redirecting supply to medical facilities etc, which is already being done. Most people can’t even buy n95 respirators now even if they want to. No need to lie about their effectiveness in preventing spread.
Why not use the GNOME keyring as your SSH agent? It's a full agent that you don't really need to think about.
My point with web apps is that you can target both Chromebooks (technically a "Linux desktop") and any other system that has the Chrome browser installed.

If you're shipping a native B2B application the standard solution I see is to target a specific distro version (Latest RHEL/CentOS, Ubuntu LTS, etc) and tell customers you only support the default desktop. If they want support for some other weird configuration they can pay extra for that.
> The internet wants you to believe you aren’t doing enough with all that “extra time” you have now

No it doesnt. the article's proof is about 8 links (half of which come from the nytimes itself). 8 links on whole internet suggesting things people can do at home because duh its boring being stuck at home. This is a made up narrative for a made up backlash.
If someone asks you for your phone, you won't ponder if they mean your "far voice". However, if we start discussing what is a phone and isn't (does it have to dial?), then suddently etymology is very relevant. I personally love etymology, because it let's you cut through the not-always-useful baggage accumulated around words.
You've copy pasted the same text twice in this thread. You are literally spamming your support for [someone who lied about throttling then attacked, via despicable rhetorical methods, attacked an organization for bringing the truth to light. By definition, a manipulative liar.]
It means that it's opaque to your ISP and other people on your network, which is at the very least useful for people using it at McDonald's or a university.
