Odd that you say that. I got an offer from WeWork, which I declined because of weird cult-y vibes I was getting during the interview. A few months later they blew up.

I got rejected by Uber, was too scared of rejection to try Airbnb or Lyft. But I considered all three a tier (or more) above WW.

I'd have hands down, without hesitation, accepted a job from Uber even if I would have been laid off at some point down the road. Having Uber (or Lyft, or Airbnb) on the resume would open doors I imagine having WeWork (even disregarding the whole scandal) would not.
Flutter uses the same concept, and it probably won't be the last. But who knows, things go really fast in the web world.
Yes I was! Thanks for listening :)

I really want to get more Go developers into WebRTC/P2P, that was my goal for this year. It is hard to convince conference developers WebRTC is more interesting then all the DevsOps stuff! I am putting in the good fight though.
That just looks strange, I would not subject my dog to such terrible portraits.
We also need to focus on what this pandemic had meant to us and what we can consider essential and non essential in the long run and use the lessons learnt to our benefit. Certainly the nature of work for a large number of people in Silicon Valley is such that it can be absolutely done remotely. I seriously hope and wish that unless it is absolutely necessary companies like FANG or Intel or NVIDIA or all other tech companies continue to honestly (not just on paper) encourage their employees to work from home. I am sure there are many roles that can continue to work from home in the foreseeable future :

- Software engineers
- Software development Managers
- Product Managers
- DevOps
- SREs
- Accountants and Finance
- Marketing
- Solution ArchitectS

It is entirely possible for all these categories of people to WFH with the help of VPN, FaceTime/zoom or other Video and chat/messaging software.

Companies should also stop new constructions or building new office spaces. It is time that tech companies understand that new office spaces are not a tool to increase productivity.

Also in the long run having people work from home as much as possible will significantly improve Bay Area traffic and reduce pollution.

I understand that some folks does not have the space in their home to WFH peacefully , but with childcare facilities opening up and eventually schools ... it can be easily worked out where members of such households establish a rotating schedule and WFH on a partial basis (ie 2-4 days a week).
Haven't looked through the code yet. How does it handle stream backpressure with WebRTC?
Aside, take a look at tools like PlantUML as a way to create your diagrams. It's higher-level than, say, rolling everything with Graphviz, while easier to share and edit than a bunch of PowerPoint/Visio/etc. files.

The great thing about generated-diagrams is that you can easily store and version the original text representation along with the code it describes or applies to.

I once tried to chase a bug in a wifi driver on NetBSD and soon gave up as I was just completely lost. I also remember buying a book on driver development, hoping there would be some decent info on the 802.11 stack and was mildy amused to find a breif mention at the end of a chapter describing ethernet internet saying "sorry wifi is too complicated to cover".

Since that and about half a dozen other wifi kernel issues? I've been kinda fascinated by wifi and wifi stacks in the kerbel, but it appears to be some black magic power not available to the masses

The author even says that he didn't pick the texts to comment on the voice in particular, but that doing the same text (the copypasta, the Bible, etc) with each voice was just convenient.

It's one thing to impersonate someone to make fun of them, but he's not picking texts for them that way. A Bush impersonator reading the phone book isn't obviously parodying Bush unless he starts throwing in comedy Bushisms or exaggerating the voice for effect. Some Elvis impersonators are parodying Elvis but a lot are just doing a straight recapitulation of his look and voice.

I like Praise. We don’t give it often enough and if someone does something awesome like simplifying complicated tests, removing dependencies or works smart and not hard, it is due.

While the conventional comments give a nice framework, nothing stops someone from adding a cheerful gif to the body of that praise.

Even on larger reviews it is nice if you scroll through 10 nitpicks, 20 suggestions and 5 questions, if you see the occasional praise.

Coronavirus is the name given to a family of related RNA viruses. The family is named for the spikes. The family is not defined by the spikes. The family is defined by genetics and evolutionary relationships. So yes, we can infer plenty. The covid virus is actually so closely related to another one of the coronavirus (the sars virus) that it's considered just another strain of the sars virus (hence the name Sars-cov-2)

Thanks, will definitely read it, but on a first glance I couldn't see any information on your background or experience in the field of epidemiology or a related science. It would definitely help to put your thoughts into context and if you have a background in this field it would give your collection of thoughts more weight.

With all the misinformation going around I resorted to mainly listen to scientists in the relevant fields directly (if you speak German, the NDR podcast with Prof. Drosten is really nice in my opinion). Therefore I think it really helpful if research institutions and researchers themselves who are in that field (!) are vocal (but reserved and competent) about studies and thoughts. For instance, today the four big research institutions in Germany (Max Planck, Helmholtz, Leibnitz, Frauenhofer) published a joint message in favor of social distancing and contact restrictions: https://www.nytimes.com/reuters/2020/04/29/world/europe/29re...

Edit: I only found the German press release so far: https://www.mpg.de/14759871/corona-stellungnahme
“There is currently no evidence that people who have recovered from COVID-19 and have antibodies are protected from a second infection.”

Netherlands has a much higher density than Sweden (densest country in Europe and one of the densest countries in the world, dense places don't do well once the virus is released, sadly), so it's clearly not as comparable as the countries in the chart (originally put together by Vox). Nonetheless, if you add Netherlands, you'll notice while it has a higher per-capita death rate, Sweden has been approaching it over time.

It's amazing what would be possible if NAT wasn't a thing. We will get there. Someday.
You want to join medium-size organizations (< 1000). Big companies have too much red tape, small companies either do not pay very well or do not have enough ability/knowledge to execute.

In medium-sized org, you have more room to grow in terms of projects, responsibility and money. Usually, you have fewer limitations and your projects would have a higher impact. General engineering culture is still the most important factor following compensation. You want to find a place where you will get paid well and you will learn the best practices and tech.
Sure. I was thinking more along the lines of a mobile OS, where you're given some insight as to what the app is actually asking for. Which I think overall is a good thing...although the granularity or function of the permissions you can request here might not be as easy to understand.

(Not sure why I'm being downvoted above)
I maintain https://github.com/pion/awesome-pion which has some of the things people in the community have built, and companies who are willing to publicize their work.

Lately I am seeing a lot of stuff in the broadcast space (mixer.com), robotics and IoT. I am really enjoying the Teleoperation stuff as well, people are remotely controlling cars/robots with WebRTC.
I do not disagree.

If you look at my original message, I was not suggesting NAT was useful - on the contrary, I was cautioning against relying on your internal NAT as a mitigation of the other enterprise's change processes. My whole post was about complexity reduction (as it relates to inter-enterprise conections)...

> Needless to say I am a fan of the BeyondCorp/deperimeterization approach. Ideally physical networks should be dumb pipes and everything should be virtual. The LAN itself is legacy baggage.

I also like it. But the post I was originally replying to implied a server->server connection between two enterprises, which is afaik not at all addressed by BeyondCorp or any of the projects it inspired - specifically, you need to treat the other corp like a Google user at home, rather than a Google employee in a hotel because you cannot enforce trusted hardware, inventory tracking, or any of the other things that make BeyondCorp as useful as it is.
If it can give you a comparison point, France wants to be able to do 700k tests per week in less than 2 weeks time to have test and trace capability and start lifting the lockdown. That comes out to approximately 150 tests a day per 100k. The following reason was given.

The models predict 1000-3000 new cases a day around the time lockdown would be lifted. Each new case will imply 20-25 other persons in contact in the preceding days. 3000 x 25 = 75k tests per day, ie ~115 per day per 100k. Going to 150 allow an extra margin to also set up testing campaigns in sensitive places, eg nursing homes.
They officially use the term 'aerial phenomena' instead of 'objects' for that very reason. I do see in some of the articles that the people in interviews sometimes use the older term, but officially they avoid calling them objects when they could be "reflections" etc.

For example, the rotating one that is making its rounds in the official release definitely moves in such a way that it is probably something firmly attached to something else and twisting kinda like a bolt or screw or even a lever does, and somehow ending up on the radar. That rotation it does is definitely not of the aerodynamic kind.
I've been sick for almost ten years and had low vitamin D levels. Last two years I've finally found some treatments that work for me, now that I'm healthier my vitamin D level has gone up to about 40 even though I rarely go outside and don't supplement. It's typically 5 without supplementation.

Previously, I tried supplementing with 10,000IU daily, didn't help me feel any better and took a long time to get my levels up. Doctor even told me to lie outside in a bikini every day in the sun and not to burn myself. My doc's theory is that some process in sick people uses up their vitamin D and calcium, and that's what needs to be stopped. He says he has seen patients with Vitamin D deficiency where they are cured with supplementation and/or sun, but it's not very common. It's cheap, easy, and harmless enough though to try before moving on to other things.

Depends on the virus. For diseases like dengue you get antibody mediated enhancement of the infection, making it far worse, so the first time you're nearly asymptomatic and the second time you're on deaths door. For other diseases, even partial binding helps make the disease more mild. Biology is super variable.

Possible. I remember going a Lyft event in mid-2018 and they were telling me that they had just doubled their team size and were looking to double again by the end of the year, so they were certainly hiring fairly quickly then.
Vitamin K (specifically K2) is personally on my short list of vitamins that I think Americans are short on.
Would this be a bad time to be in a job hunt to change companies? Anticipating that there may be a cohort of newly laid off SWEs from prestigious brand-name companies (Uber, Lyft, potentially others) flooding the market?

I'm guessing I, as a lowly, humble, SWE from an investment bank, would be easily looked over in favor of those aforementioned veterans/alumni of highly regarded Silicon Valley companies. Unless if I make a lateral jump to another bank or hedge fund, which I have no desire to do so.
"They often times took less money up front in return for better pensions."

That is no longer the case when compared with comparable private sector jobs since at least the early 2000s in many parts of the country.
I hadn't seen the Lancet article—I was getting my latest information from the Quanta article also on the front page (https://www.quantamagazine.org/what-can-other-coronaviruses-... I guess it's a matter of language and personal preference, but "this global pandemic will be in abeyance for a year or so" doesn't match my informal understanding of "a long time". I also believe, as sibling postpawl (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23025675) points out, that there is still at least a divergence of opinions here, and that it is dangerous to get it wrong.

(Personally, while I think voicing unpopular opinions is definitely a role we need in society, it seems to me that dismissing widely accepted opinions as due just to "talking heads on the media" puts disputants in an adversarial position that makes it more likely for people to hunker down in their existing opinions, and less likely for anyone's mind to change. Your refutation would have been more, not less, convincing to me if it had just pointed to the Lancet article.)

It’s dose. So you get a higher dose the longer you are exposed. A smaller dose infected less cells are initially infected and maybe you get less sick. Higher dose may mean you get more sick.
The former should however follow recommendations of the latter I think. If you agree, then policy isn't independent of epidemiology.

Yeah, %net worth would be more meaningful, but I still think monthly is odd. Why should it look bad if you donate nothing for 11 months and then drop a big one, because that's what you do every Christmas or something.

Assuming accurate monthly data is even available, I think a 12mo moving average would make more sense. In addition to the %net worth you suggest.

My current "quick" source of news is NPR's five minute reports that get updated many times per day, I mostly listen on Amazon's Alexa while I make coffee.

The BBC also has a similar short "headlines" podcast that is worth listening to that is updated hourly.

For long-form stuff, I find a lot of the finance-focused news sources to be about the most reliable/ spin-minimizing. Stuff like The Economist, the Wall Street Journal and Marketplace (NPR) generally get the facts correct and are generally fairly clear when expressing an opinion versus stating a face. Their biases (e.g. The Economist is pro-free market) are clearly stated up-front.

Le Monde Diplomatique is a solid addition, as is the English version of Al Jazeera (the Arabic version is supposedly much more biased but I can't confirm that).

Der Speigel is good but I rarely read it. Kommersant.ru is also decent (I use Google Translate). Again, even in. countries with authoritarian regimes, the ruling-classes need a way to roughly understand what is going on and usually this means the financial publications are closer to "the truth" than other sources.

Channel Four news from the UK is a solid TV News show, with journalists that hammer home on tough questions, but I haven't watched it regularly for a decade and it may have changed a lot.
Weird that it took a few days for the allergy to kick in. Do you get hives from other stuff?

I had a bad allergic reaction recently to wine (which was never a problem before), that started as bad hives and progressed to me nearly fainting. Doctor tested me as positive for a grape allergy, but negative to the shellfish allergy that caused hives as a kid.

Anyhow, all of that is to say that the doctor prescribed me an epipen, because apparently it's possible to experience anaphalaxis without having breathing issues. And full-body hives is one sign of that. The near-fainting I experienced was likely due to low-blood pressure, which is another symptom. So just be careful. I had always thought hives weren't a big deal (other than being extremely annoying), but I'm definitely going to take them more seriously from here on out.
The two viruses are related. One is thought to have evolved from the other.
Won't believe it till I see the benchmarks. Now trying to find some links comparing to MP3 and AAC. I'd really love to find out that codecs have halved audio size in the past half decade.

To be clear, I mean quality indistinguishable from an audio CD, listening to songs in the quiet living room. I am not talking good enough for a stream or a phone call, that's a much lower bar.

For historic reference. Steam changed the codec for their voice chat around 2011 to something called SILK that seemed to be the parent of OPUS. It gave just enough quality to blast Ievan Polkka and Britney Spears in team fortress games and other players could recognize the song (noting it's very very low bitrate, it ain't great). By comparison, the previous encoding couldn't play songs at all, it butchered most frequencies so much that the audio was just lost.
It is a game. The consequences are varied, but for McConnell they are generational wealth, the self-satisfaction of entrenching Republican values in the Federal court system for at least another generation and the destruction of senatorial traditions that were centuries old.

It does give you a similar alert as it would on iOS; the issue with Apple Events is that it generally gives you the same permissions as the process that you're controlling so it's fairly hard to describe it in general. This isn't an issue on iOS because such a permission doesn't really exist.

There is no such thing as imperative syntax. Syntax is completely orthogonal to being imperative, which is semantic not syntactic.

It isn't "almost C-like syntax", unless you define that to mean "if I do any amount of search and replace I can make it into valid C code that has completely different semantics". "x <- a" in haskell is not at all the same as "x = a" in C.

And that isn't the reason I said your comment is wrong. Your comment is wrong because do notation is not the result of "40 years of research in functional PL", nor is it an accomplishment. It is simple syntactic sugar that didn't come from research at all.

Your comment could be accurately summarized as "I would like to express how smug I feel for not learning something".
Could be. Also a good reason to keep the schools closed.
