Right now we are seeking a full-stack developer with a strong focus on front-end UX in React.

Email me at mike [at] xtelligent.io if interested.

Thanks!
Sure, just not for murders. They can work outside.
You jest, but... compatibility is the corrosion of software. The environment and dependencies underlying your software are slowly oxidizing/transforming all the time and unless you pick only the stainless steel of interfaces/system calls, your software will cease to function more quickly than lots of iron objects rust through.

Sadly, they let it continue.

Systemd's primary selling point is that it has already convinced distros to use it.

It inserts bizarre delays.

It makes debugging harder.

It makes logging harder.

The documentation stinks.

It infects other systems (libvirtd, GNOME) and convinces them that SystemD is a necessary dependency.

In short: SystemD doesn't play well with others. It is not a good citizen.

Why choose the USB-C connector standard then? There are many alternatives which can be cheaper, better and less confusing this way.
California wildfires bring internet outages
There's a middle ground between Apple's rounded corner land grab and allowing non-compliant electrical devices that can cause property damage.

Consider the situation with standard NEMA 5-15R receptacles. As far as I'm aware, the design is not legally protected, but any manufacturer who made a '5-15R' receptacle that couldn't carry 15A--or any device manufacturer who decided to re-purpose the pins such that the ground conductor carried 240V--would have legal problems if they brought their product to market.

This is where USB-PD should be: in a situation where physical connector compatibility brings with it enough design assurances that any pairing of legally-available devices won't blow up, catch fire, or burn out. Ideally, any USB-PD device pairing should work, but at the moment the bare minimum needs to be that any device pairing is safe.

British Plugs Are Better Than All Other Plugs, and Here's Why
Ask HN: Do you find discord's login painful?
Discord is pretty cool and there's a lot of cool communities/groups on it-- I really dread logging in for multiple accounts and unpacking

Does anybody else find it hard to use for auth?

I want to use it for among us w/ friends but it's not as seamless/easy as Slack for authentication
That's weird. I would have sworn the comment said Zcash when I posted.
They have certainly made lots of money with that model. You could almost argue this stuff does not really matter because people are effectively forced to use it, as is.1 There is no alternative choice.

1. If you manage to "beat the system", and bend the web to your will, those invested in it will label you an outlier or accuse you of being like Richard Stallman.

The Suicide Linux idea, and in fact, all "rm -rf /" jokes, are still perplexing to me because I always made systems where one could accidentally rm -rf / (still have not done personally that after 20+ years) and would not lose anything of importance, because / is an overlay and any long-term user data is stored on external media, separate from executables, which I unmount after a periodic save completes. I guess I could describe it as a minimal system booted from USB and running in RAM, overlayed with a more complete system (downloaded from the network then extracted), also running in RAM, with a workspace consisting of 100% RAM. The only way to destroy the system is to mount the USB stick read-write, chattr -i on everything and then try to rm -rf /. Impossible to do that by mistake.

DO could just check again for merged PRs whenever they want.
Quick check: how many of your USB-C cables can actually carry the 5Gbps (3.1) or 10GBps (3.2) bandwidth? Because I've had to try multiple products, all claiming USB-3 speeds, before I finally found one that delivered more than 480MBps (USB 2.0 speed).
Written in 2015, it feels from a century ago. Just consider the second paragraph:

"The concern in the West about China's growing economic and geopolitical influence is not unjustified, although "concern" is probably not the correct word to apply to the situation. Learning to co-exist with a large and formidable competitor is never comfortable, but the integration of China into the ROW ("rest of world" in business-speak) is an unadulterated positive for both China and the West."
Interesting. I'm going to give this a shot, thanks.
Derek now has a range of features including some that we only need in October like the above. The release notes feature is very useful on OpenFaaS, Inlets and other projects with Okteto also using it on their repos.

Try Derek, give feedback, ask for features :-)
Unfortunately its patented.
It's totally an illusion. Up-scaling is a lie. Colorization is a lie. It's literally missing information that can never be verified.

It's like if I used machine learning to double the length of the federalist papers. It would just be absurd to treat that like it was a real piece of history.
IMO, Erlang/Elixir/BEAM/OTP really is the toolset that can be used to build what the mystical 10x/100x programmer can achieve. But that's also the reason why it's hard to push for its adoption into bigger teams. When the value proposition is "you can do all that by only using Erlang/Elixir/OTP...", while the alternatives are based on multiple, but more "traditional" and well-understood systems (which you are easier to hire for) ,"using one thing for all" sounds more like a risk (and potential tech/dev lock-in) than an advantage to the management. Love to hear success stories of how Erlang/Elixir are pushed into "mainstream" within a relative large org.
It may be Stockholm Syndrome but I have come to appreciate systemd-style unit files for services. Being able to say "here's the binary, run it as this user, restart it if it exits" beats copying & tweaking bash scripts which is how I dimly remember sysv init working. Doubtless other more recent init systems have similar capabilities.

Anything to do with systemd logging is a goddamn nightmare though. It loves to tell you that a service has failed to start, but doesn't try to do anything like show you stderr from the process that might help debug.
Then they really need to pick a new name, because OTP is widely understood in programming to be a “One-Time Pad”, and without defining what they think it means in this context this is the least coherent article I’ve read in a while.
I'd be super uncomfortable to tie my account recoveries and stuff to a SIM technically subscribed to by another entity... But if I wanted a phone for leaking or whistleblowing, it's hard to imagine a better choice of service.
I see the issue of compelled speech troublesome.
Maybe it's one of my character flaws, but I don't like being bullied into saying some group's mantras. Even if we agree.
That's just based off of IP...
Interesting connection. What are your thoughts on connecting these two together?
Here in the Netherlands some jobs require you to submit a Certificate of Conduct. It's a document you can request from the Ministry of Justice and Security that declares that you have not been convicted for any crime relevant to the job you request the declaration for.

I have never really thought about it that deeply but it seems like a decent way of doing things. I really like that your employer can't just look it up.
No sure what they want to do if they think that play store and apple store buttons don't belong to the fcked internet...
Quill.org | Software Engineer | Remote (U.S.) Ruby / Rails / React / Python / Machine Learning

At Quill.org, we’ve created an online learning platform to help middle school students, primarily lower income ones, improve their reading and writing ability. Our pedagogy is based on years of research that shows that once students understand the logic behind constructing sentences, their ability to read and write improves dramatically. Unlike common multiple-choice-based learning tools, our tools allow students to practice writing sentences and passages in their browser, while still receiving real-time, focused feedback. This is a challenging engineering problem that we use a variety of methods to solve, from simple regex to machine learning.
Some info about Quill.org:

- We were named one of Fast Company’s Top 10 Most Innovative Education Companies in 2018 - We served over 2 million students last year and are continuing to grow. - In April 2019, we won a grant from Google’s AI for Social Good initiative which provides us with both funding and mentorship from Google’s NLP experts. - We’ve been funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, AT&T, Black Rock, and the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (to name a few).

As a member of our engineering team, you will be directly involved in building tools for students, teachers, and administrators. We are looking for developers who can take features from a user story to production. We are a rapidly-growing team of 23. This is a full-time remote role open to applicants in the US. We cannot sponsor a visa at this time.

We're hiring: Mid-level and Senior Full-Stack Engineers. Full positions here: https://www.quill.org/careers or email a resume and cover letter to jobs@quill.org.
Speak AI: Leveraging Technology to Improve Psychedelic Therapies
Debugging is harder until you get used to systemd but otherwise it's a great improvement over sysvinit. The biggest issue I have is that it's apparently not well-supported inside containers and people recommend supervisord instead.

> It makes logging harder.

journalctl -u or tail your daemon's log file

> The documentation stinks.

It's actually pretty decent, and once you dig through it a lot of the unit file properties are genuinely useful and solve real problems that shell scripts can't deal with.

> It inserts bizarre delays.

Like what? Nowadays all distros boot pretty fast with it.
That’s fascinating. Could someone translate this to English for those of us that can’t read the language?

No, this is about academic notation.
I don't understand people who insist on using a cryptocurrency that they have to jump through hoops to mix and hope they do it properly, spending lots of time and money on fees, rather than just using a cryptocurrency that is private by default.
> That's a CPython implementation detail

Which would be why I specifically wrote « in CPython ».

And it still makes the original assertion completely incorrect. Python destructors do not run « down the road, during the next GC cycle ». They may, in certain cases or implementations.

I also just don't think most of them own guns. I think they more fantasize about it. I could be wrong but that's my anecdotal experience.

Meanwhile you've got center left guys in the midewest who own 19 tacticool firearms with cool skulls engraved in them because it's their hobby. Like one side of this equation has about 99% of the guns I would venture.

Yes. But again, people who push for homeschooling were not all beaten not witnessed traumatic things. Quite often it is religious or political. Or living in group where it is normal.

Or sometimes having special needs kids - but these people don't need schools to be awful. They have that special need and tend to focus on that.
AMD's general lack of interest is amazing. Intel is more interest in supporting Radeon GPU than AMD.
I don't know of specific cases where a programmer was prosecuted, but I believe that knowingly and negligently leaving holes in compliance-heavy health technology (HIPAA) could result in prosecution.
The problem is that the runtime does too much magic and it's not portable / standard compared to other languages / runtimes. Lot of what BEAM/OTP is doing is done in other tools and it's language neutral.

Not everything is good tbh, when you see the pain it is to deploy an Erlang app in 2020 ...

> would you hire a babysitter with a criminal record or one without a criminal record and good references?

I wouldn't hire a babysitter at all because I wouldn't trust strangers around my children. It doesn't matter what their record is.

But for my business? Property can be insured, code can be copyrighted, lawsuits can be filed. I have recourse if one of my employees does something stupid. And on the other side, my employee can quit or sue me if I do something wrong.

> how would you explain repeat offenders?

People choosing to hire everyone else over felons, leaving them no choice but to go back to the same bad people or the same bad crimes. Why would a felon go back to risking their life on a daily basis against other murderers and muggers when they could have a comfy $12-20/hr job in an actual workplace with civilized coworkers?
So, this is a stupid question, but do you mind explaining what are the benefits of using planter boxes vs just planting directly in the ground? We're getting into gardening a bit during the pandemic as well and I'm trying to understand why planter boxes have become so popular. Thank you!
In the USA, working full-time salaried in tech, and I also do non-tech freelance work.

Vitally.io | Software Engineer | Remote (U.S.) | Full-Time | https://vitally.io

Vitally is a powerful and beautiful Customer Success Platform that helps SaaS teams reduce churn. We're a small (8 employees) but fast growing team based in Brooklyn, NY looking to bring on an early engineer to help us continue to scale as we rapidly add more customers.

As an early team member, you'll have plenty of discretion to make technology and design decisions as we grow, but our current setup is full-stack Typescript: React+Typescript on the frontend and Node+Typescript on the backend, all backed by Postgres and hosted on AWS.

You can apply by emailing patrick [at] vitally.io
Along with the addressability (effectively deflection DAC's resolutions), the other big limitation of vector displays was the number and length of vectors they could show (itself a function of beam intensity and how fast the deflection mechanism could point it) without the display flickering. Some terminals from that time used very long persistence phosphor to allow more lines to be drawn. Even then, sometimes, the amount of information shown forced them to flicker in seizure-inducing ways. The CDC 6x00 consoles packed so much information the fonts themselves ended up deformed by the inability of the deflection coils to keep up with the data.
It matters in the case of a malfunctioning device, as others have pointed out. If you're going to have an adapter than a allows a 15A device (which would normally only need to fail safely in the presence of 15A, or perhaps a very brief lighting surge) into a plug that can supply 25 or 30A, the adapter should almost certainly contain its own 15A fuse.

The reverse of this is plugging big loads like power tools or vacuum cleaners into extension cords intended for use with desk lamps, but I think most people understand that that's a bad idea.

This entire thread is misguided. Science and certain sub disciplines (e.g. logic) of philosophy are relatable and quite entwined. But lets say philosophy is really just an aspect of critical thinking which is missing in many parts of human experience (e.g. current politics). Regarding science it seems the opposite of the authors unintelligent claim is more the case, that science has moved further away from philosophy. Limitations of science are at core a place where critical thinking and reason take place. Think of Kant, Hume, and other science oriented philosphers. Empiricism and epsitemic functions of science are literally couched in philosphy. No, Heidegger and Foucault are not very relevant to science. Yet where real world results entrance the scientist and non scientist alike, all too often any philosophical implications are left unattended. Truth is a concern of both science and philosophy but it isnt always a relevant approach. Ethics and morality are very important in scientific discovery. Theological speculation is a side note to both, and no we arent living in a simulation so stop being idiots.
I'm sure it is, but I just wanted to window shop and see what they even had to offer for myself, now I'm just walking away.
From Brian Armstrong's letter:

"We create job opportunities for top people, including those from underrepresented backgrounds who don’t have equal access to opportunities, with things like diverse slates (Rooney rule) on senior hires, and casting a wide net to find top talent."

"Fair talent practices: We work to reduce unconscious bias in interviews, using things like structured interviews, and ensure fair practices in how we pay and promote. We have a pay for performance culture, which means that your rewards and promotions are linked to your overall contribution to the mission and company goals.

Enable belonging for everyone: We work to create an environment where everyone is welcome and can do their best work, regardless of background, sexual orientation, race, gender, age, etc."

"Of course, there are exceptions here around internal employment matters, whistleblowing, etc. And we want all employees to feel safe disagreeing on the work itself. Candor and debate are core to a healthy team, where it is safe to disagree. We consider these to be related to our mission."
