Looking for backend jobs remote or in Boston. Early engineer at current startup and helping lead a team which is recognized as the top performing engineering team in the company.

Interested in mid/senior positions preferably with a statically typed language stack. Would love to transition into golang.
If you're moving up in home value, it may be worth taking the loss on a smaller home to get a good price on a bigger on.
I'm not defending anyone working at Facebook and, on the whole, I think Facebook is extremely problematic. I personally decline semi-annual offers from their recruiters. I'm just saying that it's too easy for outsiders to pass judgement when they know nothing about individual situations and circumstances. To their credit, despite whatever friction they may receive from on high, Facebook does have employees who care about and are working to address contentious issues.

Also, people greatly overestimate how easy it is for others to actually find new jobs. Yes, there are lots of high paying tech jobs available (I have no idea how the Covid-19 pandemic may have changed things) but some people -- for a variety of reasons: health, family and otherwise -- have great difficulty doing this. Hiring is known to be broken and is the cause of _great_ anxiety for some number of us for these reasons. (It's so problematic for me that I don't even bother, at a great cost.)
Please note you still can use the site without the need to create an account... But the account unlocks more features like for example special offers: https://www.freetogame.com/giveaways
Despite that, many companies employ dark patterns where you can take that action if you are in the EU, but they add friction in other markets.
Correct. Trees act as a buffer, to soak up and delay the carbon from releasing into the atmosphere until the tree decays. But it can't hurt to buy some time for us to have better approaches to permanently removing carbon from the natural cycle.
> Can anyone say with a straight face that getting a new JS dev caught up on what all these different parts to compile a JS program is a solved problem?

You are intermixing dependency management with build tools. Webpack and Babel have very little to do with dependency management.
> In the JS framework benchmark suite, SolidJS and InfernoJS performance is almost identical (with SolidJS having a much larger margin for error in most tests).

I mean I agree with most of your post, but I'm not sure I would necessarily make that highlighted claim from the benchmark results. I mean the +- seems to be pretty run dependent for most libraries on there. And while I agree that the differences in performance is neglible, there is one. Solid is clearly faster in most tests even if by a small amount. Anyone interested you can look at: https://krausest.github.io/js-framework-benchmark/current.ht... And then isolate Solid and Inferno and then do a comparison against one library. It will color highlight the degree of certainty the difference is between the libraries in terms of significance of the results.

Facebook Employees Stage Virtual Walkout to Protest Trump Posts
What secrets? The code is open source. They were probably planning to hire him as well, something just happened in the meantime before he started so it didn't work out.

It's a shitty situation for him, but that's just life. Sometimes it sucks.
>React will simply re-render everything all the time which is the same as calling `App.render()` after every data change.

My understanding is that react will calculate the diff of your changes and what is already rendered and then only render the difference.
Hasn't it?

pypi is really the de-facto package index, Pipenv/Poetry/Conda are all venv handlers (using the standard venv tools) + dependency graph, and using pip which is standard as well.

I would call this a small set of solutions (3), and they are all sane (any will do, just pick one).

I'm not a BO hater by any means but I find that timeline to be virtually impossible. On the most basic level the craft they would need to use hasn't even seen the light of day, let alone accomplished any orbital flights.

Something like the moon is a very iterative process. You need orbital flight capabilities, second and perhaps third stage capabilities, life support, launch abort systems, landing and take off from the moon, EVA gear and provable safe earth re-entry... just to name the few key ones off the top of my head. All are huge challenges and you have to solve them step by step with multiple test at each level.

The year 2024 is 4 years away. At BO's current test rate of 2-3 flights a year, and with a rocket that hasn't come out of the factory yet I can't possibly see how it could happen. I look forward to what they will accomplish but they have a very very long way to go.

Edit: adding that BO did recently win a contract to develop a lander only for the Moon and this is much more feasable. But it would still be docking with NASA's Orion for the actual trip there and back.

I can't speak for lawyers, but MD education is very relevant. Maybe other MDs can chime in, but at least once a week in practice I use something I learned once in medical school (which was a LONG time ago :) ). Now a 4-year undergraduate education could have been trimmed to ~2-3 years i'd say.
They're probably selling more 8th gen models with 16GB of RAM than 10th gen models and they don't like it, as simple as that
But under the National Emergency Library, a very large number of people can read one copy of a book at the same time. That makes it completely different from a library "lending" system, regardless of whether user actions are tracked.

Whatever your thoughts on the IA's practices, it's worth being clear on this.
> they're a net positive for the environment, since they're sequestering carbon into books.

You mean like 'clean coal?' That's not how environment math or nature works. I hope better sense will prevail eventually and you'll come around to accepting the evil industry behind all that jargon.

Edit: 'Carbon zero' is probably the best spot to be on, but isn't an achievable goal no matter what path the industry takes. However, the net carbon impact with digital circulation is less than 0.0003% of what a dead tree circulation would achieve nationwide in all US with a bestseller. Trying to find the research behind this now, will update shortly if I can find it.

Edit2: Republished this comment because Dang flagged it earlier, before I could edit/polish my response.
pip-tools should really be included here. That's the single-purpose tool that handles environment reproducibility, if you're going with the single-purpose-tool route of pyenv + pip + venv instead of the all-in-one route of poetry/pipenv.

Suppose the candidates for the sortition are selected using following method: Phase 1: Each citizen has a right to nominate one candidate. We assume that citizens will nominate persons with whom they are acquainted personally and whom they believe are honest and competetnt. Phase 2: We count nominations for each potential candidate end keep in the pool only these who have between 10 and 50 nominations. This way we select only person who are considered honest and competent by at least 10 people, and who are also NOT public figures. Phase 3. We implement sortition between the candidates left in the pool. This way we have excellent probability to have parliament full of honest and competent people.
Unless you're in data science. Then you'll be split between conda and pip, which is worse than npm and yarn. You can always swap npm and yarn, but can't do that with conda and pip.
Hi cionescu!

Here is my baby side-project, recently turned full-time:

- Name: userTrack

- Link: https://www.usertrack.net/

- Self-hosted analytics platform with heatmaps, session recordings and powerful user segmentation. A/B testing feature also coming soon!

> Many of these companies have executives in power that have publicly stated their desire to manipulate the election in favor of their political ideology

Which companies? Which executives? Do you have links to public statements made stating they want to manipulate the election?
Keep in mind this a thinly traded market, during the pandemic even more so. We're talking about dozens of transactions here.
Two things:

1. The consequences of having millions of unemployed people with bills to pay and no income are too much for a nation, let alone politicians in an election year. My bet is that the payments will be extended or replaced with something as the alternative is not viable.

2. WFH has already started normalizing, and will shortly become a differentiating perk offered by companies. I don't suspect that may of the people living in tech hubs would choose to continue doing so if they had the opportunity to live anywhere they wanted (of course while considering COL adjustment).

In Germany about half the population is renting. That in itself doesn't mean they're not fostering a community. The difference of course is, that in Germany there are very stringent renter protections, so tenants do usually plan to stay for long times (a good share for a lifetime).

I entered hoping I could filter the list. I wanted to find browser based games that don't require third party account creation (or any other account creation). I couldn't figure out how to do it, so I left.

If filtering is possible, please make that more visible in the UI (assuming you want to target users like me).
To me this just illustrates the excess some companies have. Frankly I wonder what some of these companies are doing to even require these staffing numbers do VCs like headcount or something?
I'm not sure where you're coming from on privacy. Everything there was public at some point. But, yes, I can't in general call myself a library, scrape any web content I want, and put in on a web site.

A lot of people seem to think IA has some special exemption to do so because they're a library (by some definitions) and are, in general, a valuable resource. But really they do it by being a non-profit, voluntarily respecting robots.txt (even retroactively), and generally taking stuff down when asked.
There's not much logic in my statement just an understanding of what the journalist is trying to do: dramatize something quite ordinary.

They want to establish a historical context where Hiroshima was a recent event and somehow tie this highly dramatic event to the simple fact that scientists knew radiation damaged cells. But there is no particular connection between the two since scientists already knew that prior to Hiroshima.

So what's a hack to do? Well you write one sentence. Then you write another. You don't say "because". You just stick 'em close together. That way you get your cake (drama) and eat it too (can't be called out on a falsehood).

In this case your brain does the work for them and "joins" these two statements together. At which point if you know it's false you're aggrieved - and quite rightly because it is intended as a (mild) deception.

But it passes an editor because you can just say (waving hands) "well you know it was all happening around that time - I'm just filling in the general background..."
I cannot condone violence nor encourage it, but you have to admit that the first few protests and property damage drastically influenced the quick arrest of an officer that may not have been arrested or even fired if it didn't happen.

The non-violent protests of Colin Kaepernick were mocked and used to rally the other side and just weren't effective.

The problem here is not the violence, but a policing system that is so fundamentally damaged and has not been effectively reformed fast enough.

The MLK quote is trotted out pretty often, but "a riot is the language of the unheard".
What if the button was to donate a certain (very small) amount? Perhaps incorporate an escrow account of some kind?
I think I'm picking up from context (aka reading between the lines) that the optics of NASA using a refurbished rocket - and it failing - is not good, so let SpaceX do what they want.

Recall that a lot of aerospace budget from the US is defense spending dressed up as something else. Similar to the way the original space race was a proxy war for a proxy war: If you can fly people into space you can fly an ICBM to Moscow/Washington DC.
> You're also aware that you can fix your own car, your fridge, your house if you ever want it.

You can fix material defects. You cannot change the design, which is what you can do if you release the source code.

The same way you can make small fixes in a program relatively easily, for instance updating a dependency or patching small bugs in the binary.

So you are agreeing with me.

> as far as cloning goes, I'm sure you're aware that there are many clones of your television, phone, etc. sold every day.

You cannot clone them for free without cost, which is the problem with software given the source code.

> making sure it won't reach the greater part of mankind but only their customer base

Do you really think a business does not want to sell? Marketing is about telling everyone about your product.

That is how I was convinced to take a microwave engineering course. I was an EE undergrad, and had just struggled through the electrodynamics course. My professor asked me to take his microwave engineering course the following semester. I said I was not planning on it, since I had enough trouble getting through the prerequisite and I had no plans to become a microwave engineer. He asked me the following questions-

Professor: "How fast is your computer at home?" - Me:"2.8GHz.",
Professor: "OK, and what is considered the start of the microwave band?" - Me: "1 GHz"
Professor: "So, I will see you next semester?"

It turned out to be a great course, we built antennas, resonators, did simulations and compared to physical results, talked about a lot of different situations. In my career as a software engineer I have made great use of that knowledge by being able to better understand the issues that my EE counterparts are working on.

That’s one of my favorite aspects of seeing Falcon 9 boosters coming back to port. Dirty as hell, maybe canted a wee bit. Looks like they went through something.

It will be interesting to see what the methane-fueled rockets look like when they come back. I’m guessing a lot less sooty. If SpaceX’s Starship keeps some exposed stainless i hope it gets a little of that exhaust pipe purple patina going. That would be awesome.

This is a good overview of something that took me an annoyingly long time to learn. My personal preference is to keep things simple with pyenv, venv, and pip.

Tangentially related is the tool tox [1], which is often used to run a test suite inside of virtual environments created by venv, on multiple versions of Python managed by pyenv.

Now if only setuptools could work well without hackery...

> At the same time, Amazon was not cash flow positive when it IPOed and it figured out its profitibility just fine.

That’s not a fair statement. Amazon is an online retailer but only achieved profitability due to AWS. I don’t think their retail business is even profitable now if you slice it out.
> I've always rented from Hertz because they've historically been the least hassle, if more expensive than Enterprise.

The only company that insisted on doing a personal credit pull for a rental that was being paid for on corporate card. And then declined me because "details didn't match". And then (initially) refused to refund my prepaid rental.

Enterprise on the other hand has always been a cakewalk for me.
This has not been true in any major market for years, once you factor in all the fees that AirBnB doesn't disclose until you book a listing.

Once fees are included, AirBnB is usually more expensive in markets like SF, LA, or NY for individual/couple listings than a comparably furnished hotel room (inclusive of fees).
