To apply please message me at zachary.schuessler@engagedc.com with a list of projects you've enjoyed most, a link to open source work if applicable, your hourly rate, and a little blurb about yourself. Looking forward to hearing from you!
I don't see how this could be framed as a trolley problem. A trolley problem needs to compare two equivalent goods, where intentional 'action' is likely to cause less overall loss but at a direct cost to an 3rd party. Neither side regarding lockdown views this problem as such:

People who support aggressive measures don't view their actions as killing the bystander. 'Financial hardship' is far from letting people die (i.e. no equivalent good from their PoV) and they almost always support measures to alleviate economic damage.

People who oppose lockdown have differing arguments which don't map into a trolley either. An argument for lack of efficiency isn't relevant. Others' argument that governments' action is taking away liberty for security is closer, but no trolley either. For that, they'd have to weigh liberty of 'bystanders' again liberty of those that will get sick, and it's clear their concept of liberty does not accept the latter condition as a loss of liberty (no equivalent good either).

You might wish to drop my suggested equivalent good criteria. I'm not so sure. If diverting the trolley merely slightly inconveniences the bystander, are we still talking about a trolley problem?
Overview of Python dependency management tools
It's 2020, but the python community still has not converged to a small set of sane solutions.

It seems to me that Ruby, PHP, JS, and Rust communities have solved the problem.
That is pure evil.
I liked hearing George Lucas say that he wanted all the craft to look beaten up and used instead of shiny and new (long time ago far, far away) so as to focus on the human experience instead of the tech itself.

If you think about it, the old virtualhost hosting providers were the original serverless providers: you didn’t run a server, you just uploaded your code and they ran it on their infrastructure.

They... don't impact the environment. The trees they use were planted for the sole purpose of being harvested. And new trees are planted for every tree that's harvested.

~~If anything, they're a net positive for the environment, since they're sequestering carbon into books.~~

EDIT: I'll acquiesce that they may not be a net positive, since there are carbon costs associated with the entire process. But, using purpose-grown trees is hard to consider as a net negative.

And, if we're talking about the entire process, e-books are not carbon-zero products either.
Had to jump through two useless posts to get to the actual pdf report here. https://acrecampaigns.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/PoliceB...

This should just link to the pdf directly.
About time. When I worked there in the mid-90's I thought it was double what it was worth. That would be dirt cheap today.
Thanks! FWIW I think the virtual con this year is going to be pretty cool. There are a lot of challenges, and forms of interaction that aren't possible in person we're going to try out. There sadly are a bunch of things we can't do virtually that I'll definitely miss from the in person event as well. It'll be different but still hopefully awesome.

I think the term cracker had the same media portrayal problem probably starting with the movie Sneakers (of the top of my head, no fact checking there) but it is a much more niche term in general and if you were to generally use it around people, probably even in computer adjacent jobs, they'd be more confused by what you're talking about then recognize it.

That being said yeah I'm 100% down with considering crackers being the DRM busters. I personally kind of consider demo scene wizards to be part of the "cracker" group even though it is completely unrelated. There just seems to be a heavy amount of overlap.
I haven't seen proof that the output of these libraries is restricted in any meaningful way. Is there a case where some small input n yields !n code? Is there even any proof that all states can actually be tracked? In the case of a vDom, your code size is fixed and execution has a provable upper-bound.

Even if that could be proven, code bloat is still a problem. With a vDom library, the render engine size is fixed. Moreover, those functions are guaranteed to run enough that they will be optimized by the JIT while changing render functions for every component could mean your renders are optimized for this view, but back in interpreter land when rendering the next view.
There's a reason this as filed in the southern district of NY [1]. IA will lose based on the results of the Redigi case. The court found that in the case of a digital phonorecord that the "tangible medium" was the hard drive of the device it was downloaded to. Thus if you want to resell an MP3 you need to sell your hard drive. You can't just copy it to someone else's and then delete it. Any copy other than the original was found to be an illegal copy.

They never even looked at First Sale Doctrine which is a possible defense in this type of dispute.

If you translate this too books then the book itself is the tangible medium. Scans are infringing copies and only valid for personal use.

A romantic interest isn't really compatible with deep focus work, IMHO, so I'd argue that you're better off not attempting to maintain one in the first place.
Is there an employee version of Karen? "I am not shopping here anymore!" and yet they typically do come back to shop there. "I will not work for this company is X" and they still work there.
Always remember that while you and your partner tend to agree on many things, you will always discover things where you don't. It is neither's job to force change on the other's thoughts and beliefs, but instead to accept their ability to have them. You can always compromise, which means learning and change for both of you.
Vocalink, a Mastercard Company | Multiple roles (Java, Devops) and Engineering Manager | Rickmansworth, London, UK | ONSITE | https://www.vocalink.com/

We are a payments systems company which designs, builds and sometimes operates payments infrastructure. My team is involved with desiging and building real-time/instant payments systems. So think instant bank transfers. This software is run as part of a central infrastructure and all banks, who have signed up for it, connect into it.

We are looking for strong senior Java and Devops engineers. We are very interested in engineers who are willing to push themselves and not just technically.

Please get in touch if you have any further questions: rohit dot aggarwal at mastercard.com

All job listings here: https://mastercard.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/CorporateCareers/1/...
Oh I guess I kind of assumed that was what they were doing, although I guess I didn't explicitly see that anywhere. If they really do lend more copies then they've purchased then IA is pretty clearly in the wrong.

Its not the dip yet. Also these are rents, so you wouldn't be buying the property yet, wait till courts are even open for foreclosures and evictions as the moratoriums are still ongoing.

My luxury building and a few others I checked have slashed rent 10-15%, while also offering 6-8 weeks free, which is two months. That means the real asking rate in these properties another 15% lower. Thats a total of 27% lower.

You can try offering far less. I would ambitiously go for 60% lower than asking price and see what happens. Assume they're cash starved too.
oh no 1000000xxxx engineer?
The headquarters are in Estero/Ft Meyers florida. I would know little to nothing about this place except I have a friend living there. He was in golf course management, which should give you a hint about the type of town this is. It is largely a place for wealthy northern folks to spend the winter. To me it seems that the move was so that the CEO could live in a resort town.
On that note I will highlight that the reason that I get any local news is that Facebook makes me follow my local representatives after every election cycle

So I am actually quite up to date about what goes on locally
> The 9.2% drop in the average one-bedroom San Francisco rent of $3,360 still leaves it unaffordable for the vast majority of city residents.

Yeah, that's not much of a drop.
given how much they climbed in the last few years, rent (buy) still way too expensive. But it is a start.
We are moving away from SF anyway. Not worth it.
Interesting news. I've heard that real estate prices haven't budged much and with the stock market remaining relatively strong, I wonder if we will see a corresponding rebound in rent sometime soon.

Hello! My name is Pramod, and I'm a software engineer with 3 years of experience making production-level web applications, both as an individual contributor and a technical lead.

I love building software, and I have experience shipping features and providing technical solutions in startup and consulting environments. I'm a "T-shaped" full-stack engineer; I enjoy working across the full stack, but my expertise currently lies in the front-end with JavaScript, React and Vue.

Please feel free to reach out if you're looking for an experienced full-stack or front-end developer with leadership experience to help build your product. Thanks for your time!
It is happening (I recently got a kickstarted atlas of Mars - how fricking cool is that?!). But then the authors also have to do their own marketing and promotion, another care taken over by the publishers for these few authors.
I’m sympathetic to this as a sociological phenomenon, but I can’t actually find any neuroscience in this article.
In the US, it depends on whether the violence incited is "imminent" or not. In this case, I'd say that it was and the government failed to act (surprise! /s) to enforce its own laws because the president is indeed above the law while serving, as the Mueller report found. Lamenting society's loss of free speech in a situation where that free speech isn't even legally protected seems strange to me.
Here's the last sentence of the article: "In addition a lot of Airbnb listings are being offered as regular apartments now, which could also increase supply and lower rents, Goss said."

"Goss" is Charley Goss of the San Francisco Apartment Association, FYI.
And in the Netlify example, they'll sell you analytics based on the logs (adblocker proof) for $9/month. For one case on a site I operate, the numbers are ~2x higher than GA.
There was a period where I was ticketed rather frequently for various reasons centering around having an overwhelmed schedule and needing to drive to parking constrained areas with lots of meters and complex rules. A few had been lost or forgotten. It would have probably used many fewer public resources if I had been sent a letter instead of a tow truck.
I too have a Stallman encounter story from years ago. He used to work/sleep one floor below the research group I worked for as an undergrad, and he would wander up to our floor regularly. He would sometimes walk by and nod at me when I was working on the computer. One day he stopped and asked me what language I was using. I told him it was Java, and he said, unsurprisingly, that I should help contribute to gcj, gnu’s free Java alternative. Not really knowing how to respond, I kind of mumbled something to the effect that I’ll look into it, and then added that I was at least using Emacs. A few days later, I went to use the bathroom on my floor, and who should be standing at the next urinal but the man himself. He recognized me, and while we were both emptying our bladders, he asked if I had checked out gcj yet. I had to admit that I hadn’t yet and that I was hosed that semester because I was taking some tough classes. He reiterated that I should contribute if possible. Well, after that, I did checkout gcj and eventually used it quite a bit, including in production. Sometimes I wonder if I might be the only person who’s ever had a urinal conversation about free software with Stallman, but given his whole life of gnu advocacy, I believe there must be many more of us out there.

TrialScope | Remote (ET) or Jersey City, NJ | Full Time | Backend & web frontend

TrialScope is hiring a mid-level (or higher) developer familiar with TypeScript/React and one of: C#/.NET or Ruby/Rails. The role is fully remote, working roughly eastern time, with the option of working from our Jersey City, NJ headquarters.

The role is for a team whose software aids clinical trial recruitment, allowing trial sponsors to recruit quickly. Our hope is that this will allow pharmaceutical companies to bring high quality drugs to market faster than they can currently.

We’re a small team (4 full-time across product/eng) inside of a larger, established company. We would love to hire someone who is interested in contributing to the product & culture, as well as the engineering efforts. The interviewing process is practical, with no algorithms, trivia, or whiteboards involved.

You can apply by emailing me (in profile) or: https://apply.workable.com/trialscope/j/7148F84966/
Publishers: You cannot save our books without our permission.

Also Publishers: Oh, damn.... uhm... you want THAT book? Uhm... we don't even have a copy anymore... Sorry.
Okay that seems like pretty brazen copyright infringement then. That's crazy! Maybe they hope to disrupt the publishing industry, but really just sounds like a way to get sued.
Jimmy Carter has done a lot since leaving office, as a diplomat and as an author. I think Bush I remained fairly politically active after leaving office, as well. Wikipedia has several articles about "post-presidency of [ex-prez]" but it's a very incomplete list.
Please consider me :) I'm looking for my first engineering role. I'm extremely hard working and I love product focused development.

I have recently completed a full-stack Ruby on Rails bootcamp and since then I have designed and built my first webapp: https://taaalk.co. A platform for people to have online conversations, e.g: https://taaalk.co/t/bitcoin-maxima-other-crypto-things. The greatest engineering challenges were solved for the Taaalk participants, so if you want to get a sense of what it can do, it would be best to start your own Taaalk.

It's:
* Ruby on Rails (running on the Edge branch)
* Javascript
* AJAX
* SCSS
* Running on a Hetzner machine (Ubuntu) with an AWS S3 bucket

During my bootcamp my team and I really pushed the boundaries of the final project by building a Rails application that dynamically builds other complex Rails applications: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUUJoEvs8Uk&feature=youtu.be...

The people who ran the course said "DAMNNNNNN", and everyone else from my team has been hired - so you should snap me up!

Location: London

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: Yes

Exaggerated sense of self: Yes

Technologies: Ruby on Rails, Javascript, AJAX, SCSS, AWS

Résumé/CV: Prior to this I have founded a startup (https://techcrunch.com/2013/10/28/shufflehub-is-for-when-you...), been a VC at DN Capital and run growth for a suite of bootstrapped startups (50k-1M ARR).

Note that it was upheld on appeal, and so is precedent for the entire second circuit.

Did you take much of a battery life hit with the addition of the NVMe drive?
I'm also a student in OMSCS, on my fifth class of ten.

Likes:

- It's very affordable. My company's education reimbursement is able to cover the whole program.

- The courses are rigorous and I don't feel like I'm retreading very much from my undergrad.

- I'm going to end up with a degree from a top program that is exactly the same as is granted to students who attended on campus.

Dislikes:

- The course selection is a bit limited. Some of the classes that I want the most are only available on campus.

- Slack and Reddit are active, but I feel like I'm missing the social aspect of being a student.

- Some people are skeptical of the online format, which is frustrating sometimes.
Indeed, I’ve been muted for daring to ask why a comment of mine was removed, then subsequently banned for replying “yes, and here’s why,” including a link to this very article when asked “Do you think you’re entitled to a reason?”

I’ve also been banned from a sub simply for posting in a completely different sub.
