Deref.io | Product Engineer | Remote (US, UK, and beyond)

Deref is a next generation cloud management platform for DevOps. Every cloud-native business depends on dozens of cloud and saas services. Understanding how the pieces fit together can be challenging. Deref works like an IDE for the cloud. Deref helps engineers find what they're looking for with global search; keep track of changes and ownership with an audit log for resources; and rein in complexity and cost with advanced analysis and refactoring tools.

We're (pre-)seed funded and now assembling the founding team. Currently, the team consists of a technical CEO and three full-stack engineers with a range of startup experience; fully distributed. Seeking a product-minded engineer with frontend engineering skillset to own and drive the user experience. Have you ever wished you could fix the AWS console UI? This might be the job for you.

Compensation: Reasonable salary and generous equity.
UI Tech: React / Next.js / TypeScript

Sound like this might be you?

This is really interesting, do you remember where you read this, or have a writeup somewhere? I'm curious as to whether the Mariko/Switch Lite variants have the same problem.
We can thank the Slaughterhouse Cases for the disaster that is legal precedent in this area; the idea that a citizen's privileges and immunities don't limit the police powers of a state is ridiculous. This would almost certainly apply to localities as well (see the fact that they can't violate civil rights protections.)

And yet, Justice Thomas is the lone voice in using this clause correctly, while the others largely prefer to leave it in its neutered state and distort the equal protection clause to fill gaps where necessary and create some bogus guarantee of fairness. See Timbs v. Indiana for an example of just how ridiculous this particular area has gotten. There is some hope that Gorsuch may come around to Thomas' view, as he wrote a similar concurrence.

It is certainly a privilege of a citizen of the United States to run his business as normal. Police powers cannot overrule that. I fear that the precedent has already been set, however. The court system is too slow to work these things out while they're happening, and a ruling against an action is little solace once it's already happened. There must be significant punitive action against any state or municipality that attempts to do so.

I'd like to see Dillon's Rule states threaten to dissolve and re-constitute any municipal government that instituted any lockdown order at all. It would also nice to see criminal prosecution of those who threatened citizens who simply wished to go about their lives in violation of the constitution. A government official who does something of that sort without authority is acting as an autocratic thug and any physical enforcement of such directives is assault and must be prosecuted as such.
"deposits in a Venezuelan bank" is elegant simile. I can't wait to use it at work to describe our technical debt!
Yeah, I agree. I'm more arguing for the fact that philosophy is not more fundamental than science.

Think of it in the sense of in the big quest to answer the big fundamental question of existence we likely won't find it through philosophy because of a category error. Religion and ethics is not more fundamental than logic yet philosophy places them side by side as peers.

This doesn't mean we should just throw the whole thing in the trash or that nothing good ever came out of it. I'm not saying that.
> What about languages who support multiple ways to do something in a semi-inconsistent manner?

But that's not really a beginner-specific problem. Even practitioners will likely find it to be a nuisance.
As an expatriate American, I just hope people recognize that "America the beautiful" does exist, there's a lot to love about the country, its people, land and culture.

It's sad how that's overshadowed by their corporations, politicians, and somewhat intentionally broken system - but I choose to believe that good sense will prevail eventually, when enough people care and do something about it - as they've done time and again through history.

I expect it - it always happens in public discussion of extreme ideas. I either ignore it or use it as an opportunity to clarify my own thoughts on the subject and to share them with others who are reading the thread.

If I’m correct, my conviction is that my ideas will win in the end. That will require them to be spread to a public as a whole, and “cheap/petty jabs” draw eyes. This discussion honestly rather unlikely to change any minds, but if it does, I doubt it it will happen through throwing insults.

I appreciate free software and privacy, and it's cool to have a company that genuinely understands both of those.

This article missis its own opportunity.

Most of what this article talk about can be learned in a couple of days. Get familiar with ZAP, a proxy to replay and modify http request useful to test webapps for things like XSS, sql injections, Maltego, a fancy port and networks scanner, and some other tools you or a 12 year old can learn from youtube.

Seriously this hacking things is overrated and shift-left-security is a joke with the same punchline as DevOps, more best practices mandated by consultant that don't do the actual work, for engineers to follow instead of giving them the space to think about a good problem/solution fit.

It isn't just "cars" many SUVs still have issues with putting rear facing child seats. In the last few years they have increased the number of months you need rear facing seat making it very likely you will have more than one child rear facing. The car seats / regulations / cars are just not realistic, and are made by people that haven't even tried to follow them.

Same here. Statistically we have the odds in our favor.

This study also has a lot of the particulars that went wrong with most studies, like having a lot of conditionals. Generally this means that this is an aggregation of several smaller studies.

I will check the small print on this one before going with the “obvious” crowd.
Great in-depth breakdown. Wish I had seen this while working on the different clone versions I made a while back. Could have made them a lot more accurate to the original.

The function of the anti-theft mechanism is, at its most basic level, to assert the concept of "rightful owner".

Subverting these mechanisms provides a way to prevent the system from making this assertion.

Likewise, the alleged "anti-repair" mechanism for TouchID sensors and TouchBar relate directly to protecting the system's ability to distinguish between the "rightful owner" and a thief.

"Do what I want with the machine I own" is functionally indistinguishable from "increase the resale value of the machine I stole".

Right, thats why I said he doesn't recommend using his own library. My point is people have been down this road, and moved away from it, not that anyone should use it.
> When a primitive operation returns, much of the time control soon passes to another primitive operation, staying near the bottom of the tree.

Depending on how the threading is implemented, the primitive "return" (NEXT) operation may even pass control directly to the next primitive; a typical threaded implementation of NEXT might be something along the lines of "load next codeword and branch to it". You only go through the full call/return sequence, e.g. updating the return stack, when entering or leaving a non-primitive word.

This is a failure of the state, the purpose for incarceration is retribution, incapacitation, deterrence and rehabilitation.

Rehabilitation, is the most important aspect for a person who has been in prison to be able to return to society. Storing people in a hellish place does not fix them, it only punishes them, with out counseling and education, how is a person who is released in anyway more prepared than when they went in?

I agree the current system makes it damn near impossible for someone with a conviction to get a second chance. That issue should be address at the corrections level, and the services provided after conviction.

But most companies do not have the resources, education, or ability to help rehabilitate someone, so should we blindly hire on hope that this person won't cause harm to the people a company is responsible for, should the company forgo the opportunities that require your staff not have convictions, that is just an unrealistic expectation.

Think about it like this, say there was a piece of equipment that had malfunctioned and caused serious injury to someone, and your company then wanted to bring that piece of equipment into your office, knowing that there is a 44% chance that it will malfunction in someway again, and there is a 25% chance that the malfunction would cause serious harm to someone, would you be comfortable with that choice, if that malfunction happened do you think the company would and should be liable for this?

There are too many situations, where trying to make this right for someone with a record would have too many of my employees face situations I don't think they should have to in a work place. with 1 in 5 women being the victim of sexual assault or rape, how could I ask any of them to work side by side with someone who was convicted of it, I can't insure their safety, and I don't feel it just to put them in that situation. Same with someone who has been the victim of any violent crime.

I think it boils down to person choice I suppose, and for me, I won't put the people I am responsible for at risk, not the company that I helped built. If that makes me a bad person, I think I can live with that.
Well, yes.

Let me put it another way, for the purposes of illustrating the principle: “Of course we should have a shared culture. Here it is - _my_ culture. If it’s in conflict with yours, too bad, we’re going to make sure your children are indoctrinated into it from an early age by taking them out of the home for eight hours each day, five days per week.”

This isn't really correct though and gives a false sense of security. The house breakers are sized for the wires in the wall, not the device plugged in. Those should have their own internal fuses to protect themselves.

Most lamp cords are only sized 100ish Watts or ~ 1A with the bulb being the only fuse. If these somehow pulled 15A for any amount of time the wire would quickly get smoking hot but you still plug them into a 15A plug.

Devices are supposed to protect themselves. Most 15A devices will cause fires if they actually pull 15A for any amount of time. If you try to use a a small extension cord on your space heater, you will soon be smelling burnt plastic while never getting over 15A draw. That is part of why these are such a fire hazard.

Alos in the US a 20A socket is designed to allow a 15A plug to work in it, But not the opposite way as that would cause issues in the wall.

It is tricky.

We all hear the stories of the person who saves a company a million dollars, and then gets giving a coffee cup (or an attaboy) for recognition.

It gets even trickier when the giver and the receiver have wildly different incomes.

Generally I find money to be a terrible proxy for what I actually value, but other options are worse proxies!
Not to disparage this sentiment, but

> Ours is one continual struggle against a degradation sought to be inflicted upon us by the Europeans, who desire to degrade us to the level of the raw Kaffir whose occupation is hunting, and whose sole ambition is to collect a certain number of cattle to buy a wife with and, then, pass his life in indolence and nakedness.

Why Google? Why? How is this different than Chromecast? What is the upgrade path from Chromecast.

There should be some law against Google launching products that invalidates existing products in their own lineup. Google PMs are high on adwords/adsense revenues trying to score points via product launches to get higher bonuses. That is an apt summary of Google's internal political economy.

Time to get an Apple TV and get off the Google ecoystem. sigh.
There's no shortage of jobs for both groups. It's never been one-or-the-other.

We can either admit that prison sentences aren't actually meant to rehabilitate criminals and they exist solely as a way of inflicting punishment (as you imply), or we can take the folks coming out the back end of that system and give them opportunities to rejoin society as a productive citizen. The attitude of "you made a bad choice, therefore you're no longer worthy of opportunity" is exactly why the United States has the highest imprisonment rates in the world: when folks come out of prison and have every door to rebuilding their life shut, what do you expect is going to happen? That they move away to become a monk in a cave somewhere?

It's funny to me to see HN comments so strongly opposed to "cancel culture" but then as soon as someone talks about folks being released from prison, it's "If after that time you find it to get a job, well, you kinda have to wear that."
That is so true, I've also gotten similar kind of realization with being happy - so serious in most pictures, as was the style then, but then a picture of a farm couple laughing reminds me that they infact were living their lives just like we are

I mean, everyone could have predicted that Pixel 5 won't have a headphone jack, because its last three predecessors didn't have it, either.

So, if a headphone jack was a requirement of yours, a flagship Pixel device should have never even been in consideration.
