Network and Sys Admin

Skills: Network design and implementation, firewall and IDS configuration (Checkpoint preferred), server integration and support.

We are looking for someone to help us set-up and configure our data center build. Rack and stack is done, now we need help getting firewall, switches and servers secure and accessible through VPN. We have remote hands available at the data center and can work with someone remotely if not in the tri-state area.

Presumably, if you decide to install the app, it's because you are willing to consider altering your behaviour based on the alerts it gives you. You might find forcing people to install it has little benefit because of the point you mentioned but I don't think anyone is talking about making it mandatory.

> As a random observation, I find it interesting that TV show writers' rooms (including weekly dramas and comedy skits) will all get into the same office to hash out a show.

I believe some TV shows (SNL IIRC) are still being made with people working remotely.
Even in 2013 this wasn't really the state of the art anymore. LuxRender came out in 2008.
That seems more related to weird choice of denominator than to any underlying facts of large scale cluster management. Large services have stable names and run forever. Search is just "search" and bigtable is just "bigtable" (some irrelevant details have been elided for clarity). If I run a batch logs analysis job though it is transient and has a unique name every time I run it. So there's a huge long tail of transient job _names_ and a few dominant services with permanent names, which makes the number-of-jobs denominator quirky.
> 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.

Sounds wonderful. If a move towards remote work makes it harder for those with capital to extract maximum value from their employees, all the better for society imo. I've seen a lot of propaganda on social media about how people should be excited to work _more_ (to 'kick ass') now that they don't have a commute lmao.

The employer-employee relationship is inherently adversarial to some degree, and remote work clearly shifts power towards the employee and gives the employer less ability to monopolize people's lives.

If your company needs people to drown in kool-aid to be successful, sorry! People seem to be slowly but surely leaving that capitalist hypnosis BS in the last decade.
All of those are selling points for me along with your first class support for Nvidia drivers. I'll definitely be giving it a go over the weekend!

One followup question; how easy is it to uninstall your default DE/do you provide a minimal install without the DE?

While I appreciate your hard work on the user-friendliness of it I've spent the last god knows how many years building my workflow around i3 I'm loathed to give it up which means 99% of the desktop will sit unused.

Keep up the good work, you folks are doing great things and are a boon for the Linux ecosystem!

Edit: Also any chance of UK keyboards on your laptops? Or have I missed an option when speccing a machine up?
Also, I rely on https://regexr.com/ for interactive RE debugging.
Doubly impressive: there are spots you can visit in the vtour, that you cannot see in real life because they're outside the pedestrian walkway.

Yes, it’s an insurance policy, not a standalone investment strategy.
>Sorry to be blunt, but by suggesting it is comparable to a bag valve mask, it sounds like you did not learn a lot about the device before making up your mind about it.

Noting wrong with being blunt. But please, be blunt only after you read whole sentences and trying to decipher the meaning. I listed several different classes of devices of varying complexity that are not equal to those $20,000 ventilators used in ICU.

I have experience in design of electronics that becomes part of ventilators and other medical equipment. GE healthcare and other firms.

>Are your criticisms based on an understanding of how this specific device actually works?

Yes. The system in question is very low-end emergency-response ventilator (explained in documentation). It's simplified design from those you see used in emergency response and patient transport. The operating mode seems to be basic pressure-controlled ventilation PCV.It can also measure tidal and minute volumes.

ICU ventilator is device is very different from everything else. It's connected to the patients trachea. You must sedate patients because it's super uncomfortable to use. Patients are put into those ventilators when they are really sick. Removing carbon dioxide is an issue. Long term use can damage lungs so the system monitors large number of variables and it has multiple operating modes.
I'm finding some extreme schadenfreude in this considering in the Tesla Q1 2020 update thread posted just yesterday had people defending Musk's tweets because it didn't affect Tesla's stock and he was still earning them money.
Provisional Death Counts for Coronavirus Disease (Covid-19)
Yes! This, so much this.

At the hardware level there are countable events (interrupt, reprogram the device, change the timer list, callback, call from callback, etc) that can be listed and all combinations dealt with.

I recall part of the solution was, scheduling callbacks. So there wasn't infinite recursion (call a timer expiration callback, have it re-start the timer, have it expire, call THAT callback and so on).
But how am I going to get that VC money if I don't say "deep learning"?
Pioneer | REMOTE| Engineer | https://pioneer.app

Founder of Pioneer here.

We're building a fully remote online accelerator. A kind of YC-before-YC. We find people on the Internet that seem promising and give them "Silicon Valley", but on the Internet. It's a lot of gamification, Ruby software, Zoom, Slack, and fun. We've funded over 100 people around the world in 30+ countries. We direct them to YC once they graduate. (Tbc, we have no formal attachment to YC; just admiration. And a severe addiction to HN.)

We're looking for a competent software engineer that can do front and backend development. We're happy to take a bet on someone junior or senior. The interview process is much like the job: get a high level prompt, and then _make a thing_. That's it. Don't apply if you're looking to optimize tight C++ loops, we don't have that. Apply if you're interested in building products, end-to-end. Apply if you're energetic and excited about the idea. Apply if you can see this gig be a legitimate cornerstone of your career.

There's no formal ATS, it's a startup. Just email team@pioneer.app, mention this post.

I'm guessing because of the large number of undocumented workers in farm labor, which I think the farm would be liable for if caught. I don't recall off the top of my head, but it seems about a year ago several large places got busted.

Reinfection has been seen before with other viruses like H1N1. It happens when a person is exposed again to the virus too soon after the initial primary infection. They still become immune but their immune system just didn't get a chance to build the element necessary.

I think this may be what we're seeing in these cases.

Thanks, that makes a fair bit of sense and it's nice to see the likely reason more clearly articulated.
Exactly this. Management wants every part of the production process to be easily replaceable, including the people. This is why management loves, e.g., Java. Java gives you a lot of the benefits of Lisp (GC, objects, exceptions) but without any of the features that facilitate writing beautiful elegant code. So Java code is ugly and festooned with boilerplate and using it is an incredibly painful experience (for a Lisp programmer). But if I'm a manager and I have a Java programmer working for me and one day I don't like the cut of his jib, I can fire him and instantly replace him with another Java programmer, because they are a dime a dozen and one is as good as another. As a manager, that one feature dominates all the cruft and the horror, because I don't have to deal with the cruft, I hire you to deal with it for me. And your replacability gives me power over you. So you type boilerplate while I play golf.

It would be a pretty good deal if I enjoyed golf as much as I enjoy writing Lisp code.
It's Musk, he has whiny meltdowns on Twitter all the time. The best thing SpaceX and Tesla could do is rid themselves of him.

Isn't a large part of the performance gain from TSO offloading on transmit due to avoiding working with way too many skb's in the kernel?
Shouldn't GSO for UDP with proper NIC support give you most of the performance gain?

I'm not sure about the implementation details of GSO and TSO in Linux. But I know a thing or two about the hardware: the Intel Niantic/82599 NICs support UDP transmit segmentation offloading, I've checked the datasheet real quick and it says "Note that current UDP segmentation offload is not supported by any standard OS."

Not sure if this is just an outdated comment in a 10 year old datasheet or if there's some performance to be gained by using this UDP segmentation offload for quick.

Edit: Should have clicked on the link in the article [1] before posting here, UDP segementation offloading is coming to lots of NIC drivers in 5.5.

Always interesting how the hardware often supports way more features than the drivers expose and you suddenly get new hardware features on a 10+ year old NIC model :)
(Similar story with IPsec offloading on the Niantic/82599)

I worked a second job in 1984 to score an Apple //c! I still have it safely tucked away in storage and had an opportunity to fire it up a couple of years ago. It worked perfectly.

Beagle Bros...oh yes. I so loved their software. Those guys had such a cool, retro aesthetic and the code was so much fun. Like Monty Python, but for BASIC. Such great times. I wanted a Mac so bad though, but there was no way to afford that, even with two jobs.

Programming my //c in assembly led me 3 years later to my first programming job (I was a staff artist at a Children's book publisher) -- programming the Mac in 68K assembler! So I ended up with a Mac anyway, if only at work.

The //c was such a sweet little machine!
I haven't read the article but I wonder how GeoTab worked into this (for the small fleet customers, large fleets would never consider this product)
Neo4j is... conditionally alright. The main problem is that their marketing has a bad case of MongoDB syndrome.

N4J: "We sell cars. Our cars can be anything you want, and are at least pretty good at everything, and often great and even better than any other possible car you can get!"

Client: "Cool, I need a spacious four-door sedan with good gas mileage that's also a race car"

N4J: "Oh yeah, definitely, no problem, this is the product for you, totally fits your use case!"

Client orders car, it arrives, is in fact a delivery van that likes to stall at traffic lights

Client: "Uh. This would be useful if I needed a delivery van for a route with no stops, I suppose."
I think there is more to the ContactTracing app then what Schneier mentioned.

Understand how to define a close-contact of infected. It requires a constant 30 minutes Bluetooth-strong-signal (geographically near) to the infected person, not just because your "ID" being captured on the infected person.

The app helps find these close-contacts around you and eventually notifying them to isolate themselves and test. Imagine this process chained.

Of course, this will need a scale of people downloading the app. But better-having this auto-logged than human-effort asking infected 1 by 1 (10,000+++ infected VS 100 contact-tracer)!
> Lightning is a UX disaster

Lightning absolutely was a UX disaster, but things are improving quickly. There are wallets now that manage your funds completely without the notion of channels, and thats how it should be for most users. You don't even care whats going on under the hood, because it's all automatically managed.

> Store-of-value is something that Monero can do better

Monero has worse scaling issues than Bitcoin and is even harder to use for most people.

> Instant transactions is something that NANO has solved

Every design decision is a trade off. Something free and instant is also infinitely spammable.

If every transaction requires a PoW, its not actually free, and if it's easy enough for a phone to do, its 1000x easier for an ASIC to do, and still doesn't prevent spam.

No one wants to actually store spam data forever, and a lot of blockchains have the issue no one one is actually incentivized to store the crap forever, and _someone_ has to.

I completely agree Bitcoin, at it's base layer could be a better protocol, but nearly every other protocol you'll encounter has made design trade offs that make it less decentralized in the long term
Or you might even take a test yourself to confirm and then isolate or not based on that. The fact that the author doesn't consider that as a logical next step destroys his whole argument. What an incredibly weak article. It doesn't even touch on the privacy implications, which would have made it interesting rather than garbage.
If anyone has a device they’d like to sell, please contact me (in bio).

I wonder if the author has read Out of the Tar Pit[1]¹. See, in particular, section 6.

Essentially, the author is, I think, arguing about what the paper calls "Essential complexity", complexity inherent to the problem one is trying to solve. And with that, I agree.

I think the author should acknowledge accidental complexity (or provide some argument as to why that must live somewhere), and I think a lot of comments here on HN are pointing out the fact that accidental complexity exists, and doesn't have to live somewhere. But my guess is that that's not what the author is saying, and that the author is only arguing about essential complexity.

[1]: https://github.com/papers-we-love/papers-we-love/blob/master...

¹I personally found this paper somewhat mixed. The definitions of complexity are what make it worth reading. Its conclusion of "functional programming languages will fix all the woes" I think is not practical.

it sounds great, but I didn't mention why I'm leaving. Got laid off because the company is stagnating, been doing lay-offs since before the quarantine. Turns out a kick-ass culture is safer for job security since the market isn't going to give your company a break just because you want to chill.

But i think you can have a high-energy culture but still be healthy, its just incredibly hard to figure out.

I don't mean to challenge you, I don't believe in technical trading too. But I don't think its equivalent to astrology, which IMO is completely bogus.

Technical patterns work somewhat better than a coin toss in the short term. It is basically follow the trend. They might not be the most optimal, and might as well be self-fulfilling prophecies, but I don't think it can be compared with astrology.
The point about platform leakage was super interesting.
As mentioned, CodeReady Containers (CRC) is the easy button for a single node setup [0]. But it is heavy for a single node. Alternatives for labs and demos are learn.openshift.com [1] and the All-in-One VM blog [2]. Storage isn't too important in a single node setup unless you're looking for Metrics, Logging, and Monitoring to be turned on. You could use NFS if you have to. Just don't do that in Production, IMO.
