Blue Canvas | Senior Engineer | SF, Berlin, Remote | https://bluecanvas.io

We make source control and DevOps tools for the Salesforce dev ecosystem. We were shocked to learn that Salesforce devs and admins build impressively complex applications without any kind of source control or CI! The market is growing fast as more companies embrace “low code” platforms like Salesforce ($13B was spent customizing Salesforce in 2017).

We’ve reached profitability working with initial customers like Sysco, Twilio and Slack and just raised a round from Indie.vc. We admire companies like Basecamp, Mailchimp and Atlassian who grew mostly with customer revenue.

We’re looking for an experienced backend engineer to take a senior role working with our CTO in Berlin. The position is remote friendly. As an early member of a tight nit team, you will have meaningful impact on everything we do: code, architecture, infrastructure, team and culture.

We're excited about you if you have experience in some of the following:

- Python 3

- AWS, Terraform, Docker

- Nice to have: Vue.js, Typescript, Apollo GraphQL, Ruby on Rails, GitLab

This talk is about Justine Sacco. Within 7-8 months of being fired, she got a new job and has continued to work her way up the corporate ladder ever since [0].

You're right. Your line of reasoning is nonsense.

No one's calling for any mandate, given that the system is currently so stacked against former felons that this worst-case scenario you've posited would require a complete 180 swing into the opposite direction. We're talking about any action that would nudge the status quo, not flip it on its head and introduce dramatic new problems.

No, but you should probably pay your taxes that go into such efforts, and corporate philanthropy does become a (socially) obligatory activity for companies that reach a certain size and success.
I’m struggling to stay loyal to Firefox. Mozilla feels like a bloated pig snuffling on Google’s handouts so that its many employees can enjoy a SV lifestyle. We just need devs and a designer or two to focus on Firefox.
In defence of Forth, the performance numbers tell us more about the Forth implementation than about Forth's performance potential, and the development time depends on whether the developer is already a competent Forth programmer.
You have a lot of questions. Denmark has money tied to the child and not the school district. Look into their system for more answers.

Everything is a process of improvement overtime. The reality is, we don't have all the answers ever. What matter's is how much things are improving overtime. I don't see that with public schools.

I could easily ask you a ton of questions on how to fix Detroit or LA schools.

Allowing competition fixes a lot of problems.

More incentive to at least make sure their backups work.. but not enough incentive... yet, to actually increase security.

So I don't disagree with your premise, I'm just not sure it's actually true in real life, where companies are not punished by anyone for being lazy.
I've found a mix with background checks in the U.S; a lot of rental landlords want background checks for the obvious reasons (e.g. housing a convicted rapist with a young woman), employers can go either way, and in my experience it has tended to be reasonable (but I've always worked as a professional, and for people I know through colleagues or acquaintances).

A background check is, in my experience, unusal for renters in Canada, but that might just be my bias, having mostly rented from slumlords and acquaintances.
Perjury maybe? A lot of compliance relies on truthful reporting by employees.
Which is of no issue of they're just there for easy mocking etc.

I agree with the parents point, if there is value in such tests, it's so miniscule that it dwarfs the added effort to filter out all the false positives if the developers aren't total newbies. And if they are, code reviews by more experienced developers should be a given, making it redundant as well.
Ask HN: Current state of Websocket & RTC in the browser
Hi HN! I'm working on an open-source multiple player social game in Elixir using Phoenix + Websocket + Twilio/Agora. Recently I did a real-life test run for an hour with ~60 participants (concurrent connections) and discovered things are not really smooth. There are dc now and then, and sometimes it takes a long time for a user to reconnect back. (This is mainly because I'm inexperience & there are still a lot I need to learn e.g. best practises to load test websocket + webrtc, to optimise websocket CPU usage, etc.)

So here is my ask HN: What is the current state of websocket-based real-time multiplayer game in the browser? Or more generally, what are some good examples of browser-based rtc application/game in production?

p.s. it has been almost a decade since the inception of Websocket (2011) and we still don't see a lot of real-time multiplayer game on the broswer! So am super curious about the current states of the arts and what are some great examples of websocket-based rtc broswer apps/games in production, etc. Thanks!

About me: I have a lot of experience building progressive front-end applications (React, PouchDB etc.) but also have experience with creating back-end APIs, server-side rendering, Oauth, etc. I'm interested in any kind of web-dev roles though I would be extra excited about something involving Elixir (or functional programming generally).
What's the objective of this comment? It starts off talking about "Chicago = War Zone" and then it devolves into the ground state of HN's favorite whipping children of "cancel culture", "free speech" and how "The well-being of these communities shouldn't be exchanged for free-speech(?)". I'm not even sure what the last point was meant to be about other than showing angst at the idea that racist comments are largely derided and marginalized.
What's the point of serving time if you still have to keep getting punished afterwards. According to you, every person who's committed a crime should have a life sentence?

These are not even really relevant, since in most places it's considered unethical or even illegal for journalists (or anyone really) to publish names of suspects or convicted common* criminals. You will generally read "Man/Woman convicted for X" and sometimes just their first name.

This is a consequence of systems that mostly focus on rehabilitation and reintegration. Having your name show up in newspaper articles would seriously hinder that.

If your main focus was punishment instead, then publishing the names of criminals just goes well with that.

And finally you can't just ask to see the criminal history of X, and it would be illegal to discriminate based on such knowledge if it is not relevant to the job. In Germany only yourself can obtain your own criminal record (Führungszeugnis) - your employer can't obtain it directly. It's generally thought to be illegal for an employer to ask you for this (it was never tested in court though, because nobody was stupid enough to try). The only exception are if you will be working with minors or if it's specifically relevant to your job (compliance officers, financial stuff...).

Depends on what you mean by "the chip industry"?

- Designing CPUs and digital logic chips? You'd start with a computer engineering degree focusing on computer architecture and VLSI design.

- Designing analog or RF chips? You'd start with an electrical engineering degree.

- Fabricating chips from bare silicon wafers? That's an intersection of chemistry, applied physics, material science, and electrical engineering.

Look up the course requirements for degrees at universities with engineering programs and you can see what courses and textbooks are used for each.

"Kids, family" aren't necessarily in opposition to "political argument". When you watch a political protest, you should see people fighting FOR their children's futures. Whenever politics has a multigenerational timescale, that's what it's about.

I also point out that "not giving a shit" and "considering more important" are synonyms for "not mattering" and "mattering", respectively.

The past was also not black and white and grey, or sepia toned. The original photographs and film are imperfect captures of the environment at the time.

It's easy, it's just like higher order forms of math!

Mathematic notation is horrible. We have to teach kids the forms for _years_ and most are still shaky at it once they're adults. You have to memorize everything because the syntax is basically shorthand, nothing is self explanatory. Then we wonder why kids struggle with math.

If a programmer decided to replace his function names with single characters from a different language he would be dope slapped by his colleges. If he always used single character variable names he would be kicked out.

That's a slightly different problem. Charging the device vs the dock working. I almost never used the dock, but I charge my device all the time with other USB-C cables.
One of the great things about Erlang and the BEAM is that by designing a very opinionated language around concepts like immutability and ubiquitous messaging between lightweight actors, you can define the VM to support those.

So there’s this collection of features between the language and VM that support each other, and are generally hard to reproduce outside that ecosystem because they are so interdependent.
Well it worked with me :) I'm looking forward to hearing more about this.

Thanks for explaining. Good luck with removing all this gamma radiation from the system before it vaporizes the chamber but not fast enough as to cool the plasma and stop the reaction. I doubt that this sweet spot exists. Thermonuclear bombs exist only because plasma is surrounded by a thick layer of uranium which absorbs and re-emits gamma radiation thus not letting the plasma to cool. And this layer doesn't have to exist for too long. Less than a millisecond is fine to make a big enough bang.

> typically background check companies are free to hold on to older records if they were at one time public.

That is true, but it is however often illegal for employers to base a hiring or firing decision on expunged records. So background check companies do generally try to comply with record expungement as it protects their customers from liability. However due to the complexity and variety of laws on expungement and lack of direct consequences for them they frequently fail at it.
That is incorrect :
