One thing I've learned about startups is that things are always in flux. I would expect your responsibilities to move and shift with time and with different clients.

The position sounds like it will lean heavily on communication and social skills. You will likely want to build a strong relationship with your sales staff and your client.

If in the course of work changes arise make sure you coordinate with your company and do not over promise or move too far from the core solution.

The best thing that will prepare you is to go in with an open mind and do your best. Try not to stick to preconceived ideas of what the job is.

And most of all, be prepared to work hard.
Were you at least given a stern talk about the wasteful nature of version control software?
Its maybe zero for you, but not for some, if you have automation build around hardcoded 'master' branch.
No, it was literally Steve Jobs in 2010 saying he didn't want flash on mobile. Then it collapsed quite quickly after that as the barriers went up.
10 years later and mobile games still need to be made in Unity or Unreal. The new Meatboy won't come from HTML5, even if development was as easy.
All the 3d engines you have in HTML5 owe a debt to actionscript and flash and still don't perform as well.

People don't realise how liberating and easy the multimedia of the flash years were. You could literally make a animated film and show it globally in an hour.
Nothing comes close, still.
Maybe we'll get a Web Assembly flash tool, when we all have 8Ghz PCs.
You're conflating cost:reward. If it's a large cost and doesn't actually matter, maybe don't change it.

The principle sounds like LaTeX and its various packages for creating diagrams.
It's a shame that you're being downvoted for this, but I suppose that's the only tool these people have since they can't argue against your position any other way.

EDIT: Your downvotes are proving my point.
They definitely seem low when compared to androids, but If 2 GB works as great as it does on my iphone 7 then it should be doable to get a good experience here too. 3 GB is the max ram for the chip, hopefully they come out with a version that has that, or one with a different soc that can support more.

Like the other guy said with SD card you won't have an issue with storage.
Weren't the airlines insolvent just a month or two ago, before they were bailed out? Can we confidently say that there is a 0% chance for a deus ex machina intervention that will bring the equity back into play?

I'm not suggesting that buying into this offering is a good idea or that bailouts are a good idea. However, given recent experience, assigning a > 0 price to Hertz equity is not irrational.
You know you can turn off the theming shit, right? XP or even Win7 can look mostly like Win2k.
There’s a bill in Congress now to end QI, it has support among democratic Congress people and Justin Amash.

I would personally count that as leadership not supporting QI.
I think that the graphql adapters like hasura and goke are also an important innovation, for small mvp projects you can create a graphql api to query your database directly from the frontend, this reduces the development time by a factor of 2 at least.
But Vista was not a technical failure but more a commercial failure. I am not an expert but I am pretty sure massive chunks of the OS were updated in Vista that took years to debug and smooth out to what is now Windows 10. You are also correct that XP was technically more advanced than 2000 but I am not sure of the specifics. All I remember is pro audio applications and audio device drive drivers ran much better in Windows XP sp2.
If you read the Socratic dialogues, you'll get a sense of it. Sophists would typically teach just a series of "facts."

Feynman ran into something similar when he taught in Brazil. There's a difference between "knowing" the E=mc2, and "understanding" relatively. Sophists dealt in the former.
Jobs did this so that Apple could get the 30% cut on apps downloaded from the App Store. Otherwise everyone would just play Flash games that Apple got no cut of. Follow the money!
Roughly nothing used Flash Lite, outside of a few weird embedded use cases like the Chumby. Web content was almost exclusively full-on Flash.

If something decreases both expected value and variance, it's pretty hard to call it gambling.
English isn't my native language; I've always read the "master" in "master branch" as kind of a "high-quality reference copy", similiar to its use in audio; my native language has a very similar word that doesn't have a slavery connotation, so maybe that's why, but does this usage have a slavery connotation to a native speaker that I'm missing? Is that also true with "mastering a challenge", master sculptor, etc.?
Whenever a white person claims reverse racism or discrimination and then brings to light what that instance entailed I have yet to find that it comes close to what a black person experiences as racism. (Maybe you are different) It may feel unfair to you but you just aren't going to get far on the white people experience racism too argument. It's a loser except among other white people with hurt feelings.
FCC review of their preliminary application (I believe for access to the subsidized US rural market) said that they had a hard time believing the total network roundtrip would have better than 100ms latency, and now it's 8ms?

How many apps for video conferencing you have installed ? I have at least 10 (zoom, Webex , teams , Skype for business , Skype , chime , ring central , blue jeans ,
slack, Hangouts, ..) I am not including non work related ones like FaceTime or WhatsApp etc either, Each one requires additional effort to setup and use. It is like Office , more people using the same app , makes it more attractive to use .

for example if half my customers already use zoom , I would seriously consider it even if it was costlier
According to the briefing video above, smoother than the Shuttle off the pad (for Falcon), which is the lower-atmosphere phase with more aerodynamic interactions, rougher following Falcon MECO, under the single-engine second stage. During the equivalent flight phase the Shuttle has shed its solid rocket boosters and consists of the three space-shuttle main engines (SSME), and the external tank. Still not a vertical stack (so subject to greater structural dynamics), though the thought occurs that three engines might be smoother than one.

There can be other effects as well --- the Saturn V had significant issues with "pogo oscillations", which are just what they sound like: strong periodic variations in vertical acceleration. Falcon 2nd stage issues might be similar.

Oh man, I could have really used the sequencer when I took my music composition classes in college. Finale and Sibelius are not conducive to actually writing music.

This just seems like a weird, ineffective way to put pressure on ICE to stop detaining people excessively, inhumanely, or lethally.

Anger and outrage are valuable, and it's important that we channel them in the right directions.
Sure? If you mean it's probably a 16" with a carbine-length gas system, tube-like handguard that probably isn't floated, and a carbine stock, that looks about right.

It's kind of an ill-defined term, and doesn't really mean that it was purchased whole. It could easily be a stripped lower + lpk + complete upper, or complete lower + complete upper. Either of those sidesteps the 10 day waiting period, and it's about the same price - you can get a lower+lpk with buffer tube and halfway-decent buttstock for something like $120, or you can buy a complete lower for about that same price.

Assuming you just buy a stripped lower and not an 80% lower, assembling requires minimal tooling - a couple roll pin punches, a hammer, some pliers, a hex wrench, and maybe another wrench. A vise grip makes it easier but isn't strictly speaking required. Takes like an hour or two even if you have no idea wtf you're doing.

That said, I agree it's probably more likely they bought it whole, or bought a lower+upper and just slapped it together (which takes 5 seconds and zero tools).
thanks for that. good luck on chart 5

> The entire purpose of Civil Rights legislation was to enable the courts to "enact policies"

Congress cannot change the structure of the government by passing a law. The Constitution makes enacting policies the job of Congress (and the President, for either signing or vetoing bills passed by Congress), not the Supreme Court. If we want the Supreme Court to be able to enact policies, we would need to amend the Constitution.

As I said in another comment upthread, I think you have a highly idiosyncratic (and wrong) view of how law in the US works.

>>>Having a part time job and trying to go to school full time took a huge toll on them.

Nobody said it would be easy. Having a part time job during the school year and a full time job during the summer is just what you have to do. So suck it up for 4 to 6 years like everyone else and quit complaining. So sick of lazy ass millenials crying about literally everything. You shits have the easiest/safest life in the history of the world, yet you still cry and complain. Sick of you cry babies.

The scope of that power has to be dialed back significantly.

Currently the FDA has the unchecked power to create federal felonies, because failure to comply with FDA regulations is a felony.

I’m sure most people agree that having a FDA is good, as is having an enforcement mechanism. But giving an unelected member of the executive branch the ability to effectively legislate alone is kind of a crazy power to leave totally unchecked.

This power is exactly what creates the CrimeADay twitter feed, since these federal regulations are both insanely minute and often not very well thought out. My favorite example is that it’s a felony to sell shredded cream cheese.

There appears to be something of a contradiction in the majority opinion:

From page 2: "Those who adopted the Civil Rights Act might not have anticipated their work would lead to this particular result. Likely, they weren’t thinking about many of the Act’s consequences that have become apparent over the years, including its prohibition against discrimination on the basis of motherhood or its ban on the sexual harassment of male employees. But the limits of the drafters’ imagination supply no reason to ignore the law’s demands."

Then later, on page 4:

"The employers also stress that homosexuality and transgender status are distinct concepts from sex, and that if Congress wanted to address these matters in Title VII, it would have referenced them specifically. But when Congress chooses not to include any exceptions to a broad rule, this Court applies the broad rule."

The Majority refuses to limit the scope of Title VII simply because the drafters did not consider gay and trans workers when they made the law, and also penalizes those same drafters for not creating exceptions for individuals they lacked the imagination to think of to start with.

Maybe it’s because the majority should never have the right to impinge on basic liberties because of religious beliefs — see also, laws against “sodomy” (non heterosexual sex) and laws against “miscegenation” (interracial marriage).
No complaints from me. Nothing out of the ordinary.
I agree on the vertical space thing. I would add that lack of contrast between controls is very annoying. That 'flat' look is a pain. Can I or can I not click on this? The one that is a real pain is the disappearing scroll bar. It is there. The space for it is used. But just gone until you hover over it. Then it is clunky to use in relation to all of the other windows controls. The rules for making a GUI were dead simple for MS in the 90s. I had them printed out on 1 sheet of paper and most of that was a couple of pictures.
Are you planning on expanding to Android?
To the best of my knowledge, you'd have to do a "4 degrees of separation" from git back to its ideological ancestors to find out that master was indeed referencing a "controller" with an attendant "slave" function.

But, also to the best of my knowledge, it's not used in that manner in git itself; it's used as you explained it.
There aren't too many choices if you need to deploy something important in the most boring, reliable and maintainable fashion.

If public property (streets, society built around cars, tax incentives) is being used to provide access to your business, for the mutual aid of both your business and the public, then you should not be allowed to deny access to the public for anything other than a business reason.
People often talk about speed as an advantage of Julia (which is true), but the real secret advantage compared to any other language I've worked with is more of a network effect: composability

I didn't appreciate the importance of this (or the degree to which this just works as a result of multiple dispatch), but there's a good talk about this from JuliaCon 2019 [1] by Stefan Karpinski

Really all you need to do is google "twitter mob".

The most common cases involve people who did something bad, but where the punishment meted out was totally disproportional to the crime itself.

Justine Sacco is the classic case, who made a bad joke and had her life turned upside down.

Then you have the cases where people are so full of emotion that they get basic facts wrong.

James Damore is a good example of this, who many media outlets falsely claimed had written in his infamous memo that women were inferior to men in terms of software engineering ability.

Just go on twitter or facebook and take a look at how issues are being discussed. Even here on hacker news it's sometimes difficult to have sense making discussions because people are in such a rush to judgement.
Very good. Nice one. So if you stand with your principles cancel this contract haha
Would you like to talk about Python 3?
The historical default rate for leveraged loans is 2.9%. This VC program claims a mortality rate of 10% over a 5+ year horizon. I.e. a 2% annualized default rate.

Now I'm sure they're not using exactly the same definition. Plus we have to take into account recovery rates. But the point is that this VC program almost certainly is not funding the "average startup". To achieve those low levels of default, their investment pool has to be significantly safer and more stable than the typical Valley startup.

So either their typical investment is safer in obvious ways, like interest coverage and EBITDA multiples. In which case they should be able to access traditional credit markets at much more favorable rates. Or the VCs in question have a unique ability to identify sure bets in opaque ways. Ways that other investors just can't see. In which case the secret sauce isn't the funding structure, but the preternatural giftedness of the firm's general partners.

(Or there's a third option, which is that the fund's track record has just represented a string of good luck. They've been fooled by randomness and future returns will not live up to past history.)
My nickname isn't "master".
Materialize is neat, but there are other database systems that refresh at least some materialized views on the fly, while being smart about not rebuilding the entire view every time. See for example, Oracle, where FAST REFRESH ON COMMIT does most of what Materialize is advertised as doing, at least for views which that feature can support (restriction list here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49578932/materialized-vi... ). Mind you, this comes with Oracle's extremely hefty price tag, so I'm not sure I'd recommend it to anyone who isn't already stuck with Oracle, but it is technical precedent.

It would be interesting to compare notes, and see what Materialize does better.
I'd love to have someone with firsthand knowledge fill me in here, but:

I've seen Flash-based feature phones do all kinds of things that desktop Flash struggled to do on (then-contemporary) desktop PCs. I can only conclude that Flash Lite had a significantly different codebase than desktop Flash, with very different performance characteristics.

Just because "Flash could do it on a feature phone" doesn't mean that a smartphone could keep up with the full Flash plugin. Look at the performance disaster that Flash on Android was.
Reads like something out of Vernor Vinge's Peace War.
Because re-implementing Flash is an enormous amount of work. Back when Flash was popular there were numerous attempts to reimplement it for use on Linux. None of them really got beyond the proof of concept stage.

Based on that I'm pretty skeptical that Ruffle will succeed, although I guess it does have the huge advantage that Flash is no longer a moving target and they really only have to get it to work with existing Flash movies - nobody is creating new ones.
The person you are replying to is confused about what an APT is. Looks like they think it is a package installed with `apt get`.

There's no chance to fix systemic issues of any sort unless the Dems take the Senate. It wouldn't hurt to persuade Biden to make it part of his first-100-days package.
>refuses to spend extra time looking at other sources, like Twitter.

Twitter as another resource was an example. But yes, you can look on Twitter and find many different perspectives about a topic. I would think someone who knows how to spend some time understanding multiple perspectives of an issue knows how to look in many different places for them.

As far as the rest of your comment, I think you're going way off-base here. Sorry.

That cliche complaint about corporations are people forgets that it is better thought of as "people via transitive property".

>It infuriates me to no end that Microsoft does not accept that letters in caps keep their accents.

That behaviour is actually locale-dependant in Microsoft apps. Setting Microsoft Word to "French (Canada)" uses accented capitals, while "French (France)" does not.

I imagine there's a lively internal debate about the latter. France's Académie Française actually says the behaviour you'd prefer is the proper one, but the local typographic culture is heavily influenced by a history of typewriter use where such accents weren't available.
https://stackoverflow.com/a/7611586 claims K&R says it was added for symmetry, but in C and C++ it ¿nowadays? also converts char to int. That can be useful to print the values of characters (std::cout << c outputs a char, std: court << +c its value).

In JavaScript: to convert strings to numbers.

In Python: to assert that a value is numeric (throws a TypeError if it isn’t).

In Perl: among others, replaces an initial ‘-‘ in a string by a ‘+’ and vice versa (https://perldoc.perl.org/perlop.html#Symbolic-Unary-Operator.... See also https://perlmaven.com/the-magic-unary-plus for more power/weirdness)
The design of the GUIs were one of the reasons I got interested in two of the exotic beasts of the 1990s OS wars: BeOS and NeXT.

BeOS was a deliberately “vapourwave chiselled look with 90s cartoon icons” that screamed F.R.E.N.D.S and Melrose Place and edgy or avant-garde typography in nineties magazines.

NeXT on the other hand was austere, alabaster, eminently workable, but... so regular, so regular, so well thought-out, so utterly restrained and so internally consistent.

Those were wonderful GUIs. They had no pretence of disappearing into the background. They had to be clear signage for generations educated in the age of text-mode (and sometimes even still coming from the tail-end of the “typographic age”).
