Alban is my favourite speaker at conferences, eg fosdem, kubecon & ccc. He can explain fundamental topics you always wanted to understand but never dared to ask in plain and simple language, strait to the point, brief and very clear.

I always drop by the Kinvolk booth and have a chat with him. In the pre-corona time they had meetups in their Berlin office, also highly recommended. They are the organisers of https://cloud-native.rejekts.io/

Now you have me worried about what maintance I should be doing. Going to a bike shop once a year at the start of summer seems to have been enough for me. After a quick google search I got crazy suggestions that I should be changing my cables every 6 months.
Great way to cook frozen green beans and frozen asparagus. Pour a 4" diameter circle of olive oil in a non-stick frying pan, add veggies. Now add water to a depth of about a quarter inch. Start cooking. Veggies start off being boiled/steamed and transition to sautéing as water evaporates. Add soy sauce and hot sauce if desired.
I somehow knew this was going to be about “rich kids of Instagram” before even opening it. The part about renting and posing with the Lambo is tragic.
Hive.one | Remote (Europe) | Full Time | Algorithm Architect: https://hive.one/jobs/algorithm-architect/

We are building an influence algorithm. In other words, we are trying to find ways to describe groups of people mathematically. Many tried and failed before. But we think we can make it work.

Our core hypothesis is that influence can be quantified by tracking attention flows. In order to do that, we ingest data streams from multiple sources (we started with Twitter and are now indexing podcasts and soon more). We then cross-reference these datasets in an attempt to continuously improve the accuracy.

The accuracy of our work is being verified by members of the groups that we aim to describe. We publish our results in real-time and there are thousands of people already using our scores. It is hard to verify when we are right. But it is very easy to tell when we are wrong. This short feedback loop puts us in a unique position to work on problems that might be much harder or impossible to solve somewhere else.

About this role
You will be working on the core algorithm. This means that you will look for creative, but methodically robust ways of identifying groups in various streams of data (e.g. Twitter, Podcast RSS feeds, meetups, Reddit, GitHub etc.). You will design and execute experiments closely following the scientific method.

You should be able to design and perform experiments independently. We have a dev team that’s responsible for engineering of the data streams. You need to be able to code up experiments from A to Z and give clear instructions to the devs what data streams you need.

You will work directly with the founder, who is also working on the algorithm. You will be responsible for implementing the new algorithms and will be taking the lead in shipping these into production along with our dev team. You will make sure that all changes are properly documented. You will also be responsible for making sure that there are robust tests put in place to ensure data correctness. You will often communicate with engineers on our dev team and you will be able to request resources from this team.

You will have plenty of flexibility and you will be encouraged to try new things and think outside of the box. The only requirement is that you have to be able to defend the logic behind these ideas and provide a falsifiable methodology.

> OpenShift & Kubernetes is just ELBs, App Routers, scheduling, monitoring, and logging systems, some orchestration tools

True but consider this - there used to be people whose job it was to do most of that stuff and the app developers did not have to think about it for the most part. Kubernetes/OpenShift just moved all of the complexity on the developer's plate - and the mind numbing stuff that results from that is worthy of few articles. And to say most developers have no way to actually run this at their home and become familiar with the intricacies is even more asinine.

This isn't a OpenShift/K8s critique per se but the whole idea that you can somehow make all the complexity disappear by writing more software and more abstractions and then let the developers deal with all things that organizations failed to account for in the need for cheap and fast - it doesn't really work all that well.

What?
Apple has even a less incentive then most to support RISC-V versus ARM. They were a super early investor in ARM back in the early 90s (to the point where ARM probably wouldn't exist today without Apple). I'd be surprised if they pay more than a token amount for their core licenses.

For all intents and purposes, RISC-V being open just puts it on the same footing for Apple as ARM is for them.
Yep, but if you want/need more efficient concurrency today...

Forced office work already polarizes opinions. Many of us already say Work From Office is the devil.

Why does my typing on a keyboard in the office bring more "value" than when I type on a keyboard at home?
It’s gotten easier with Home Assistant but still, even as an engineer I prefer to use the easy APIs for these things sometimes than run my own support system for the Z-stuff

PM Trudeau announces Canada is banning assault-style weapons
> The same New York Times investigation found that law enforcement agencies devoted to fighting online child exploitation “were left understaffed and underfunded, even as they were asked to handle far larger caseloads.” The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), established by Congress in 1984 to reduce child sexual exploitation and prevent child victimization, “was ill equipped for the expanding demands.” It’s worth asking, then, why EARN IT does not instead empower these agencies with additional resources to solve crimes.

This is a very striking point that I think even the least tech aware person could understand.

Also, the acronym EARN IT is marketing genius for the US. I can really easily see that convincing a lot of people of its validity just because it's kind of sassy/obstinate and for some reason Americans gobble things like that up. "You want encryption? Well why don't you EARN IT by not being a pedophile. - Karen 2020"
For the same reason why managers and executives love PowerPoint slides and UI mockups: they can see it.

I completely agree with you.

https://emailoctopus.com/careers | UK / LONDON | ONSITE OR REMOTE
We're looking for:

- Backend engineers

- PHP Developers

- Senior PHP Developers

Since 2014 we've been making email marketing simpler, more intuitive and better value, to help anyone with an audience grow. We're sending over 100 million emails a week and processing a huge amount of associated data – 10 TB and counting! Doing this affordably (fair pricing is one of our core values) brings some unique and fun challenges.

You should apply if:

- You're excited by our technical challenges

- You have the right to work in the UK, but enjoy working flexibly from anywhere in the world

- You have 2+ years experience in PHP and its web frameworks, like Symfony/Laravel

- You're passionate about writing clean, well-tested and maintainable code

- You like the idea of working for a small company and having a big impact, and you have the ability to work with a high degree of self-motivation and limited supervision

Apply here: https://emailoctopus.com/careers
I think the question is: given that you're going to be performing pretty heavy symmetric encryption on every byte anyway, how much can TCP offload really help when all it's handling is the relatively trivial checksum and sliding window computation?

Volley (YC W18) | San Francisco, CA | INTERNS | ONSITE | Typescript

The Volley Infrastructure team works on internal tooling, processes, and engines that power Volley's voice-powered games and media applications. The work you'll do will be high-impact, facilitating our entire organization to achieve its mission objective: ship voice-applications quickly and easily.

Practically speaking, the work will involve plenty of backend systems engineering, mostly in Typescript, with a strong functional bent, on AWS.

Entry-level NodeJS developers are encouraged to apply, especially those with interest in Haskell, Idris, or other type-heavy languages.

Mention Hacker News when you apply.

>> 4. Don't offer large salaries to anyone. The role shouldn't attract people who care about salaries, even if it means you don't attract the "best talent". That "best talent" was probably going to wreck the organisation anyway.

> This seems counterproductive to me. If you don't pay people enough that they're worried about losing the position then they're incentivized to try and monetize whatever power they have, leading to corruption.

No, I think the idea is to offer something comfortable but not so large salary would attract people by itslef. You want to discourage the people who "try and monetize whatever power they have" from joining, and reduce the barriers to joining for people who aren't driven by greed.

Not really related to the article, but this is from Cadillac's website:

To address concerns related to dealership sales department closures and social distancing, Cadillac is offering virtual tours of its products via Cadillac Live and promoting its “Shop. Click. Drive.” online shopping, purchase and delivery program.

Wasn't this the very thing the automakers were against when Tesla came up with it?
It's also long been possible with lesser-known proprietary solutions like Excelsior JET, so I suppose Java can claim to have a mature solution to that feature, just not a mature mainstream FOSS solution (not counting Graal).
>I believe some TV shows (SNL IIRC) are still being made with people working remotely.

I think you're saying the current COVID is making producers and writers adapt to the lockdown situation because they have to, and therefore they have to work remotely. Yes, I understand that.

I think once the coronavirus scare is behind us, those writers will willingly go back to being in the same physical room to hash out the dialogue for a show.

If you look at the "writers room" from the SNL documentary[0], you wonder why all those writers and stars are in the same room when they could just use videoconferencing for the "table read". They're all younger generation with money so using technology such as laptops with webcams probably isn't the barrier. I think it's because most writers want to be in the writers room and videoconferencing is still not a good enough substitute for a physical presence. That's why they suffer the miserable Los Angeles traffic to show up in that room.

I mean...you can always appeal to “old school” AI. Just dig in to the old papers and use their words. Latent semantic analysis (LSA) is an example of a hard to beat baseline model for text:

“By inducing global knowledge indirectly from co-occurrence data in a large body of representative text, LSA acquired knowledge about the full vocabulary of English at a comparable rate to schoolchildren.” (http://www.stat.cmu.edu/~cshalizi/350/2008/readings/Landauer...)
What did they make? Their site doesn't have any info on their products.
I always really liked this approach: Instead of every car smart by replacing them, make dumb cars (a bit) smarter with a connected device. Even once pitched a competitor to this service.
That said, I'm wondering what the impact of Covid was on this: A regular SAAS service shouldn't see a huge impact, or would all customers cancel when not using their car for a month?
>Yeah I’m aware of this, but this just brings back the point that you’re using emails but then not really using emails...

_I_ like using emails. But the point of tools like that are so that people who don't like using emails can use other tools instead, and seamlessly collaborate with people who prefer to use emails.

I got into POV-Ray in the late 90s when I wanted 3D graphics for my Geocities page.

It's entirely a business decision that's profit-driven.

There's nothing technically limiting these manufacturers from making reparable devices. It may extend their development cycle by a month or more for a product though, as they need to settle on standardized parts, keep stock of materials for repair, produce readable manuals, and make alterations to make components accessible.

It is not in their interest to make any of this available, and it is entirely in their interest at the same time to discourage repairability, through marketing of new products and suppression of right-to-repair movements.

Ironically, a right-to-repair law would at least put everyone on equal ground as far as having to comply to a minimum standard. But tragedy of the commons and all that.

This is one reason you should always just execute - never ask for permission. Have conviction - think your objective through - plan - cross your t's and dot your i's - and then just execute and show your results to everyone in your mgmt chain.

...to the degree that you can do that without getting fired.

It's always easier to ask for forgiveness than permission. Trying to convince a bureaucracy of anything is futile.
I probably owe Beagle Bros most of the credit for nurturing my lifelong interest in computers. (My father gets the rest for giving me the things in the first place!)

"Withstanding more arguments" can be gamed by throwing thousand of silly arguments at your favorite hypothesis. And "higher quality" is the part people would disagree about.

I think that when people are essentially honest and trying to find out truth, they can agree on reasonable rules. But there is no way to make the rules simultaneously philosophically satisfactory and bulletproof against people who are willing to lie and twist the rules in their favor.

For example, in real life you usually cannot convince crackpots about being wrong, but that is okay because at some moment everyone just ignores them. If you try to translate this into a philosophical principle, you end up with something like "argument by majority" or "argument by authority". And then you can have Soviet Union where scientific progress is often suppressed using these principles. But what is the alternative? No one can ever be ignored unless you disprove their hypotheses according to some high standard? Then the scientific institutions would run out of money as they would examine, using the high standard, the 1000th hypothesis of the 1000th crackpot.

The point being made is that the system creates such deniability that it's impossible to say who the perpetrator is.

Let A and B be two data blocks produced by different people, and C be a copyrighted work.

It becomes known that A⊕B⇒C, and so the copyright holder of C would like to sue someone.

It is obvious that either the person who produced A or the person who produced B is infringing on the copyright of C. However, it is impossible to say which one it is; it is impossible to say whether A is a derivative work of B and C (B⊕C⇒A) or if B is a derivative work of A and C (A⊕C⇒B).

(Of course, good luck explaining that to a judge.)

Let's iterate on that more. So A and B a blocks on the network. Yet a 3rd person publishes some freely-licensed works; they F1 and F2. In order to be stored in OFF, they get xor'ed against existing blocks, and just so happen to xor against A and B. So A⊕F1⇒A' and B⊕F2⇒B'. So someone wanting to download F1 will download A and A', then get F1 by A⊕A'⇒F1. Neither the person publishing F1 and F2 nor the person downloading them have any idea that A⊕B⇒C. So now someone lawfully downloading F1 and F2 appears to be downloading C, because the blocks they're downloading are [A, B, A', B']; and [A, B] are what it takes to infringe on C. But they had no idea that A⊕B⇒C, they were just interested in F1 and F2. So now you can't say that downloading A and B together indicates unlawfully downloading C.

(Again, good luck explaining that to a judge.)

So the point is to make it really hard to say who did what.
