Tindeco Financial Services AG | Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom | Partially REMOTE | Full-time | https://www.tindecofs.com/

Tindeco seeks a lead software architect for our innovative Vision Investments product. Significant experience in software development from a financial services or quantitative background is required. Our stack is primarily C# .NET Core 3.1 and F#, deployed on Kubernetes. As a primarily Microsoft shop, our stack also includes WinForms, WPF, ASP .NET Web API and SQL Server. We also use Go, React, Typescript and Bootstrap.

We are looking for people with a passion to work in FinTech, a willingness to learn and most importantly a strong desire to tackle interesting and complicated problems. Our software is multi-award-winning at the Swiss WealthBriefing awards. We are a small but established company with ambitious growth plans over the next 12 months. Remote working is an option, but will not be 100% of the time once lockdown ends (we value face-to-face interaction).

Because of the high volume of patients, those of us with more critical care experience were redeployed to newly created MICUs, but I am not a pulmonologist (details in profile).

The high death rates in NYC that were published were attributable to a statistical error (failing to use adequate censoring of people still on ventilators). Note that the article has been updated with correctly censored numbers (hence 25%): https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2765184

Finally, we only intubate patients after maneuvers like awake proning fail, so it’s not something that is comparable.
Thank you! Providence wills that I have R studio installed to make a wordcloud, but I installed it without actually knowing what it is. (Just followed a tutorial to get my wordcloud :)
So thanks for the recommendation, looking forward reading it!
It's hard to believe they weren't acquired. The amount of driving data they have must be huge.
The Retrieve Account API seems to always return an empty baskets array, even if baskets with data exit. fyi,
And that’s why the only IoT devices I’ll buy use Zigbee (ZWave works too). You can’t shut down a device that I control internet access to.

Sadly this doesn’t scale, it takes specialized skills and time to build out home automation using these technologies.
Using this very nice POV-Ray render from Wikipedia: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ec/Gl...

It features a lot of effects (radiosity, HDR maps, etc.) which are added on top of its basic functionality. There's been a big shift in how rendering is approached, from the old way of adding a pile of special effects onto your original non-realistic renderer, to a newer way of simulating light as it physically works and using that as the foundation of the renderer.

And there's still a lot of in-between as well, but having gone from 3ds Max's scanline renderer to 3ds Max + Mental Ray, to Blender + Cycles, it feels very different to use.

There are still some effects that Mental Ray (and it looks like POV-Ray) can do that Cycles can't. Photon-mapped caustics seems to be one, although I think LuxRender is FOSS and can do that.
I'm sorry to be dense, but that's a naive view, that an otherwise sleazy sociopath can be forced to behave by public opinion.

Good people give food to homeless because they see value in doing so, not because they fear repercussions from public opinion.
Future of Work Hackathon (virtual), May 8-10
How much does TCP offload help in practice, in particular for TLS connections? Is it a 20% improvement, a 2X improvement, etc.? That would be good to know to evaluate the performance of QUIC in the article.
How to keep yourself sane when WFH
There are parts of it that are just dog shit, complete drivel. I read the book when it first came out and can't understand why it's so popular after all of these years. Came off as bits of pop psychology with a large helping of self-promotion, and sprinkles of bullshit. I do recall coming across some interesting tidbits, though.

For some reason it reminded me of Trump's first book, The Art of the Deal.
More like they don't want to be flooded by fully automated patent filings without a fully automated patent reviewer.

I would be very interested in working together on a publication...unfortunately the last couple times I submitted a proposal I never heard back. Is the write-with-us form page working properly, or was my proposal that bad :P ?
This submission received a fair number of upvotes in the first minutes of submission and yet never reached the front page. It's hard to believe that this isn't interesting to HN so why did it disappear?

Is it TSLA fans just flagging this so it doesn't get there? is there some other process that decides posts like this won't get to the front page?
Maybe I'm being a bit cynical, but this suggestion smells like an attempt at a patent-grab by someone who owns some AI tech.

"You used my AI in the process of inventing something? Well, I guess your patent belongs to me now."
I wouldn't worry too much about making the examples trivial. That just makes it easy to learn! There are probably lot's of good orders, but I'd probably go something like:

- Literal strings
- Optional characters
- Optional strings of characters (using groups)
- Alternations (using groups)
- Repetitions (using groups)

Then move onto to things like character classes.

IMO character classes are quite an advanced feature (or at least confusing for beginners) because of being character orientated. They also don't tend to very useful unless you've already covered repetition.
No, I honestly believe that this will happen one day.
Yes, it must appear immediately after `[`
I'm in a similar boat. Funny thing is, the work day actually works out better. I'm not commuting. I sleep longer. Our meetings are shorter and more efficient in general, though we still chit-chat. And we've even taken to multiple times a week game sessions for an hour out of the end of the day when we have time.

> Stock markets are also priced according to _expectations_ about the future,

That does not mean they are the right expectations and market is correct. Market could be over optimistic in this situation or just right. I know you don't mean to suggest that. But I just wanted to point that out. I feel "priced in" is the stupidest answer to questions wondering "why is this happening". And I know you aren't saying this either.

Wow, the service stops on May 28th, less than a month away.

Just out of curiosity, have there been more (relatively successful) companies with a paid subscription plan that announced that they would, within a couple of weeks, shut their services down? As an outsider it seems quite drastic to me, given that the daily costs of keeping the servers running a bit longer is negligible.

"Cycle training and temporary parking spaces will also be provided by the funds"
I'm just leaving a company which has been experiencing stagnated growth for a couple of years and everyone I talk to says that the 100% remote strategy has played a role. My company just couldn't figure out how to get momentum or rally the troops and "light the fire" again.

It wasn't just the remote, but the typical baggage people adopt with remote. For example, it made the mistake of adopting "work when you want" kind of attitude because that was always the norm with 100% companies, which is terrible for a VC funded startup. It set the tone of "what did you cook for lunch?", "oh wow, look at your view of the ocean in portugal" instead of kicking ass.

Obviously not the only problem, but remote was definitely an extra layer of hurdles. A lot of problems would have been easier to address in a physical office.

EDIT: the sibling post that says its a "path to mediocrity" is pretty spot on. But maybe you're fine with your company being a lifestyle company, a "good enough" company. That's fine for some people.
Bikes tend to degrade slowly over time if you don't do regular maintenance. Most people don't notice the slow decline until it's quite bad when suddenly it feels like an unreliable POS.

Giving people who are just a little frustrated with their bike might go a long way to helping keep people from getting to that point at least once.
Through all of what?

Walking your bike 200m to the closest bike shop?

With 50 EUR, every bike shop does the usual tear fixes: changing tubes, adjusting gears and brake levers, changing break pads, changing the handlebar tape, centering the wheels, and cleaning / oiling.

Those 50 EUR can't cover major damage, but lots of people in Europe have multiple bikes in their basement that are just "rusty" / flat tire / etc. and that they didn't needed during the winter.
>Is there a (preferably BSD-licensed) QUIC piece of code that can be retrofitted where the TCP stack of an OS used to be?

No, and that's a current drawback of QUIC. But of course it's just a current drawback - the investment cost of integrating this into the operating system vice applications will certainly be eclipsed by the benefits as QUIC is deployed more throughout the internet

On July 11, 7-11 offers a free slurpee to all customers. The free slurpee cup is a fraction of the size of any of the already-very-cheap options available for sale.

I have seen lineups out the door and around the block on this occasion. I think this illustrates very well people's well-known tendency to irrationally value free stuff.
Exactly. And there's a clear effect here akin to adverse selection. Financial innovators on the up and up will just use the existing platforms. People who are up to no good and are hoping not to get arrested will have a strong incentive to use new platforms. That moves right on to the slippery slope: the new platforms get reputations for being the financial equivalent of bad neighborhoods, which means even less legitimate financial innovation. Eventually, nobody in their right mind will use the new platform, so it's down to criminals and fools.
At the very least I hope the open concept office design dies of coronavirus. It was a bad idea all along.

Transportant | Marketing Director | USA | Full-Time | Kansas City but REMOTE | $60-$120k

Started in 2017, Transportant is a disruptive technology company building modern hardware and software to help school districts, bus drivers, students, parents, and teachers optimize the school transportation. This includes providing high speed on bus wifi for students, bus status mobile apps, cameras with live streaming audio and video, ridership tracking and management, turn by turn directions, and safety sensors. During COVID19 our tech has helped transportation departments pivot to their new mission of delivering free & reduced rate meals during school shutdowns, and providing outdoor Internet connectivity spots for underprivileged students.

The founders are 20+ year veterans of mobile and software security industries. Our customers are school systems across the USA and Canada, with the Superintendent or Director of Transportation as the champion/purchaser. We're seeking the first full time marketing role. This would involve working with founders and with support from our engineering team. Activities start with marketing basics and expand to experiments to find effective, measurable, and scalable traction channels.

Application process is fast and simple: email cover letter -> initial video conf with founders -> work sample test -> offer/decline. build@transportant.com
It could be that your complexity is necessary, like a small widget that just has an enormous amount of variety that it has to constantly account for. Or it could be that you designed one giant widget made of 10 widgets, and a re-design could simplify how you think about and build it.

Simplicity is the art of taking complex things and stripping them down to their essential nature. Simple things can be complex, but no more complex than they have to be.

With that said, this piece talks a lot about frameworks and tools and patterns, and I really hope people don't think that's the right way to think about architecture. Abstractions do not make things simpler, they make them abstract.

Pragmatically, I think the real issue is editor tooling. Polygons are much simpler to subdivide and edit and are perfect for real-time interaction, at least much better for high-complexity scenes. At render time, though, you need to use a bunch of extra tricks to get the right smoothing - bump/texture mapping, increased subdivision, etc. But some of these other models might actually decrease the scene complexity and increase quality if you could convert the model at render-time.
bingo. Stocks are forward looking - by 10 to 20 years, depending on the valuation model.

The idea that companies should be worth half of what they were last year because of a 18-month long pandemic is kind of idiotic, which is why the liquidations in mid-march were a great buying opportunity.

...the only exception being companies that might be forced into bankruptcy - such as retail, restaurants, travel, etc.

Tech (NASDAQ) has almost entirely recovered... which is reasonable.

I think a lot of commentators are angry that many shareholders are not experiencing the same pain they are, and therefor attribute it to some sort of social evil.

> In my experience, one of the the problems is that Macs are hilariously underpowered for many modern dev and analytics use cases.

This is what I do and works perfectly. My dev machines are 82 cores xeon platinums with Terabytes of RAM or nodes with 8 V100 GPUs attached, etc.

I don't know of any workstation, much less laptop, that could be a replacement for any of that.

For the stuff I do on the laptop itself (Word/Powerpoint/Outlook, web browsing, using an editor to edit files remotely, etc.), more power wouldn't hurt, but my macbook is a macbook air 2013... so I can't imagine that a 2020 macbook would be underpowered.
I'm not sure what you are trying to say here, constructive solid geometry does not solve any of the problems I mentioned and would have to be treated specially to be raytraced (while being likely being much slower).

Converting it to polygons at a modeling or effects stage is workable but rendering it directly is unlikely to be widely valuable any more.
I think dang's comments on the previous thread explain it.

With one notable exception, most countries are at least working on this if not having reached this level already. Just because the country with the largest number of infections is screwing up the testing doesn't mean every country is.
Thanks for the kind words. The "next" issue has been the top annoyance reported so far. Will try to fix.

The "keyboard" is definitely a problem as well. The issue is that since I'm using the system keyboard, if I keep it up, it covers half the app. I considered building my own keyboard which I might.
Disclaimer: I work for Red Hat Consulting where my day job is 100% OpenShift.

Storage isn't easy on OpenShift unless you're in one of the public clouds. Even then, there's caveats based on (mis-)use cases and what nots [0].

But on complexity, I think companies and developers do it to themselves by getting excited about 12 Factor Apps, Microservices, and Event Driven Architectures and not understanding what that all means. OpenShift & Kubernetes just make that easier to roll out. At the end of the day, OpenShift & Kubernetes is just ELBs, App Routers, scheduling, monitoring, and logging systems, some orchestration tools [1].
