Baremetrics | Senior Backend Engineer (Ruby) | Full-Time | Remote

https://apply.workable.com/baremetrics/j/96F891A001/

Baremetrics is a business analytics & insights company. We provide the tools and data businesses need to make solid business decisions.

We're not some flash-in-the-pan startup...we're seven years old, profitable, doing over $1.5M in revenue and growing. Nearly 1,000 business from all over the world trust us to help them grow their businesses.

As a senior backend developer at Baremetrics, you will be working on a variety of projects from payment provider integrations and data ingestion to metrics processing and user-facing features.

We're a very small team with a huge bias for simplicity. Baremetrics has grown to its current state with just 2 backend developers. You'll be working on projects, large and small, from inception to completion.

We approach our work with focus and purpose in an environment of trust and autonomy. When we work on a difficult problem, we take the time to think through and research the possible solutions and then write an implementation plan. Sometimes that may also include some tinkering.
I have looked at the budget update before.

Taking your linked budget update the three highest expenditures being Health (which is not just wages) $20B, Education $8B, and Advanced Education $5B amount to $33 Billion.

How much would you have to reduce public sector wages as a percentage (note not all those expenses are wages) to cover the $8 Billion pre-covid deficit. Now how much would you have to do to cover the $24 Billion deficit? The budget update mentioned there is only an additional $3 Billion in post-covid recovery spending but somehow an additional $21 Billion in deficit? Seems like the deficit is coming from revenue collapse.

There is no doubt they will have to increase taxation or reduce spending. My point is that there is perhaps there is no longer any 'Alberta Advantage' allowing for the special taxation status of the province.
did they leave out the price of the 3090 in the article or did I somehow miss it? All I see is the 3070 and 3080 prices.
Do any of those actually look real to you? I'm not saying that a convincingly realistic render is impossible, but those are all obviously synthetic to me. Maybe that's just a lifetime of photography at play.
In mature union relations, they also ensure the long term viability of the business.

“Bad code that ships is better than good code that doesn't”

When you work on code long enough two things will eventually happen:

Shippable Bad code will eventually be unshippable.

Unshippable Good code will eventually be shippable.

Your quotation simplifies a concept by hiding the extra dimension of time. Bad or good, shippable code depends on a point in time.... It could be shippable now, or shippable in the future...

I actually had been thinking alone these lines myself.

Disclaimer though: I have very unethical ideas around technology and if that offends you don't bother reading and don't downvote the hell out of me, just move on, this is only a thought, but consider this:

Imagine you come across an instagram profile of a woman with a lot of followers who you think would make some damn good money on OnlyFans, but for whatever reason she will never do that.

If you could find a woman with her similar body shape, you could create deep fake videos using that women performing various sexual acts, but use the face of the woman using her instagram selfies, which inevitably she will have tons of on her profile.

You could then create a marketing funnel, privately following and DMing male followers from some "Instagram business account" cloned from some of the girls pics and perhaps some deep faked pics, and invite them to your OnlyFans page that you create for her. Setup some low cost individuals who can reply to chat messages competently 24/7, and you now have a full working product setup and ready to produce profits.

You can then continue doing this with more instagram girls, each time you do you must be careful who you market to to avoid detection, you don't want to end up having to "burn" a girl that could make some good money, but it's no big deal because your central operation won't be threatened unless someone can tie all the accounts together and ban you.

This could probably make about $5k a month per girl. Should scale well.
> What also works against the idea of subsidies being the culprit is that it's not just universities that have seen this cost inflation.

The entire economy is subsidize. We have a credit-based system, hence universal access to cheap credit is the end-game, that is why car loans are starting to creep into the 10-year territory with 0 down and no credit score.

I agree that the middle of the novel was dragging, but after a while, the story was picking up speed again for me.

Stephenson's early novels suffered from weak endings, IMHO. His newer ones (Fall, Seveneves) suffer from bloated midsections).
This sort of "unintended consequence of over precision" has happened a few times... I remember a while back a dating app (I think?) was returning the distance between the two people with a ridiculous amount of precision, which allowed people to triangulate where someone was with three phones
I tried to achieve basically what this app does on manual mode some years ago. “How hard could it be?” are the famous last words etched in the three ATI video cards I bricked before giving up.

For things like setting brightness or toggling devices that ought to be dead simple, stuff like DDC/CI and HDMI-CEC being broken on so many levels never fails to make me spectacularly sad.
Hey, I can't deny that was me 5 years ago. I was totally putting emails and other personal info into JWT's because "Hey, it's encrypted".

Live and learn haha

But yeah, definitely some lack of awareness around how JWT's work + best practices.

I think that Auth-as-a-Service platforms and the "npm install" culture aren't helping this at all.

In recent years from conversations with other devs, it seems like many of them have never written an auth system themselves + couldn't do it if you asked. Coming from an era where rolling your own token-auth setup, or on larger projects even custom OAuth providers, this is both a bit mindblowing and kind of scary.
Daryl Davis does good work and makes the world better.

Yet, As much as I have personally argued for following Daryl Davis' footsteps, and have attempted it myself, it simply does not scale in the face of massive action by dedicated firms.

The scale and rate at which misinformation wars are playing out, is beyond that at which an individual's actions can stem the tide.

At this point, our societies artisanal approach to thought, is giving way to the industrial approach to thought. Which is very dystopian, except phrased nicely since it is the early stages.

> I claimed that RFA is an unreliable source on topics that directly have to do with the interests of US foreign policy because it was founded by the CIA expressly as propaganda and is under the control of the State Department.

This is not a universally accepted truth. You made a claim and didn't back it up. It's not that hard. Honestly, I'm not even trying to defend RFA but it's irritating to see people make claims without substantiating them and then trying to argue about it afterwards.

We already have immutability in Java - why, the designers themselves made Strings immutable [1]

We said goodbye to nulls in Java [2] but in case you really don't like nulls you can also say goodbye to them by switching from Java to Kotlin, which doesn't have them [3] but also does [4].

If you want to cut down on some boilerplate (without moving to Kotlin), you can try type inference in Java [5]:

> For example, consider the following variable declaration:

Map<String, List<String>> myMap = new HashMap<String, List<String>>();

> You can substitute the parameterized type of the constructor with an empty set of type parameters (<>):

Map<String, List<String>> myMap = new HashMap<>();

Go got rid of Generics which made programming so much simpler. I can't wait for its new Generics feature though.

But if you really need that functional stuff - the best thing writing Java code is that it runs on the JVM, so you can code in Scala instead. And if that argument doesn't make you want to code in Java I don't know what will.

True.

This reminds of porn, whereby, once you're out there, then you're out there. Good luck working with kids or anything involving kids. Even females aren't exempt from the scrutiny.

Or any job where guys recognize you, now you're screwed if you have any aspirations to remain anonymous or even lead a normal life. You'll need a community of people supporting you.

It seems like an endeavour where the potential for regrets is high. Look up most pornstar bios and they usually end up with them having a hard time readjusting to the regular world and few ever manage to move past their old life that they end up going back to porn cause it's the only family that accepts them, but at the cost of exploiting them more.

This might not carry necessarily the same stigma, but the fact that many people treat it the same is problematic.
Oh no, not this again. There's been a long-running propaganda campaign to convince Americans that the CDC and their government has failed them because they can't achieve a supposedly easy level of Covid-19 testing which is in reality an order of magnitude beyond what any other major country has managed, and that that this is a uniquely American failure. The NYT opinion piece this is based on looks like it's in part a continuation of that.

It's gone hand in hand with a narrative that the US is behind the rest of the world in its level of Covid-19 testing, when in fact it's ahead of almost everyone else. (Last I looked, this trick was being pulled off by comparing based on the number of tests per positive, even though this is really a measure of outbreak size rather than testing levels if you're trying to test everyone with symptoms - unless the outbreak has hit catestropic levels, the number of tests required to do that is basically independent of the number of cases. Clearly it has absolutely nothing to do with how close a country is to being able to test a particular proportion of the population on a regular basis regardless of symptoms.)

No, because this kind of thing is intentionally exploitve and these models make money by exploiting mental illness, particularly loneliness. Even in the case of mobile apps and micro transactions.

I have shamefully worked (for a short time) for a company that used to have serious meetings about how to exploit these types of people.

I've had a lot of friends into camming, and tbh it kinda sucks to watch some of them bend their morals and who they are more and more as it becomes harder and harder to ignore the money that comes with it.

LeBron James licensed the shit out of himself for video games, action figures, commercials, etc - and I'd argue other than the commercials, which are exploitve by nature, none of this is specifically exploiting anyone. It's entertainment.

I'm asexual, but I have absolutely nothing wrong with pornography on principle. I still have friends who cam ethically.

Unfortunately in the past performers more often than not ended up exploited. Now the tables are turning and some performers like Bella just end up exploiting their viewers, and that's just sad.

I mean Bella literally bailed on $200 pay per view stuff and essentially exploited her past as a Disney star, of all things, to draw attention to herself, and as a result has single-handedly irreversibly screwed over the lives of every other performer on the site by forcing monthly instead of weekly payments.

Bella Thorne didn't figure out how do to micro transactions. She thought she could take advantage of her micro celebrity status to give herself an advantage over others, exploited hundreds, and screwed over hundreds, probably thousands of performers.

I have a lot of friends in the sex industry and camgirl industry as the queer communities which I am a part of often are supportive to these folks, and it's awesome that the people who choose to do this non exploitavely can do it. I don't think it's that different in that case from being any other kind of celebrity, except I do believe it is obviously objectively riskier.
Even outside of app stores, adult content in general is a massive hole that no large company wants to touch. There's a ton of overhead due to scams/chargebacks, harm to the brand, content moderation and lots more.

> The other big mistake I've seen is encoding personal data in the token, instead of just an ID that only has meaning inside of your database. It turns out not everyone is aware that JWT tokens are publicly decodable and that the only security is in the signing + verification. Many people I've spoke with think the token is like a hash.

I've not been able to find much tuition data going back a long time online, but for the little I could find (Stanford going back something like 110 years, and one public school whose name I don't recall), it has almost always been raising a bit faster than inflation.

When I graphed the data over time, there was no place that stood out as being a place after which tuition increases were consistently worse than what they had been before. There would be a couple years or so here or there where it rose more rapidly during those years, and a couple years here or there where it did not rise as rapidly as in prior years, but mostly its been pretty steady.

Most articles I've seen where someone says the high cost of college is because of change X appear only look at the growth since X and just assume that X was the cause. So if tuition goes up 4% a year for 10 years, then some change is made, and it goes up 4% a year for the next 10 years, you'll see articles blaming the previous 10 years of 4% annual rise on X.
Most of these come along with being a professional athlete, and yet few seem to have the same level of concern.

Thanks for your response, I find this stuff super interesting to watch evolve.

I think I understand a bit of your concern, although note that the pubs aren't necessarily required for replication in SSB, one can use onion routing, physical devices (sneaker nets), local area connections, etc. But I agree, that there are more areas to improve, such as changing the network/capabilities keys on the fly from within a message to ratchet the distribution, making reference to content hashes within different network keys, etc. I'm curious if your work takes any of this into account? Thanks again.

In many countries, the power of social media gives a platform for superstition and mystical thinking to expand.

In less developed nations, where religion and superstition are fundamental parts of the power structure, they travel even faster than facts, and those who argue for reason are silenced (Death of rationalists in India for example).
