About: Motivated self-learner interested in software development and data analysis. My work experience has involved developing data analysis and optimization techniques in a research and development setting, as well as constructing user interfaces and visualizations to clearly communicating results of analysis to project stakeholders. I feel comfortable quickly learning new languages and technologies, and enjoy working on challenging problems in a fast-paced environment. In addition to my full time job, I am currently serving as a full-stack deveopler/technical team lead for a webservice startup in my spare time.

Education: BS Economics & International Relations, MS Computer Science
Ok, interesting. That kind of scale is not exactly the norm though, so I don't agree with your implication that monoliths are always a bad idea.
Weird, that really surprises me. Even the petrol (gas) station across the road (highway) from my flat (apartment) sells generic white, generic red, new, Charlotte, sweet (yams?), and Maris Piper. Maybe one of jersey royal & king Edward too, I'm not sure.

Potatoes are shockingly cheap too, for some reason I suddenly 'noticed' that at the weekend, around 40p/kg, (uh.. 25c/lb ish) that's crackers (cookies for cheese) isn't it?

I'm sure there's other things you have or have variety in that we don't, but I wouldn't fancy not having a choice of potatoes. Though I almost always get Maris Piper to be honest, so it's not even really about choice as such, just knowing what I like and what I'm getting, I only buy 'white' if there's nothing specific (and more appropriate) available.

Sometimes 'white' will tell you what the actually are (this batch) on the date/producer label bit, or what they might be a mix of, which is nice.

Well, that's more than I've previously written or thought about potatoes...
Yes, but that doesn't mean it can't be unenforceable. It simply means it hasn't passed the test of a court. However, isn't the same, from my limited research and knowledge, true for blockchain-based notarization?
Many techies are individualistic. That used to be considered left-leaning, but in the last years some people have been pushing the idea that is something from the right, instead.

We didn't cross the border, the border crossed us.
ATP synthase is amazing. It uses the driving force from the potential gradient (aka voltage) built by the proton pump in the first video to spin at ~21,000 rpm and crank out ATP. I read that your body creates (and then consumes) about its own weight in ATP every day.

This channel has a ton of great videos:

https://www.youtube.com/user/WEHImovies/videos

Here's one on kinetichore and mitosis (which also shows kinesin and dynein which are comically odd) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvJrDsRuWxQ

There's a collection of their DNA ones here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Hk9jct2ozY

Here's another view of the ATP synthesis process that shows the chaos a bit more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OT5AXGS1aL8

When I think of these systematically I just wonder what the intermediate steps were. The proton pump uses energy to create the potential gradient that ATP synthase runs on. You can't have a proton gradient without the proton pump, and without the proton gradient you don't have ATP. So these two exquisitely complex machines depend on each other and had to evolve together. It boggles my mind.

Edit: Ah! Was looking for this one, sodium potassium pump - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKE8qK9UCrU This is how our neurons propagate signals. They are driven by ATP.

> thousands of current "Bay area tech workers" grew up in other parts of the country, and [...] may not otherwise share in the religious, political or social views that dominate that space.

I know a few, who grew up in rural Michigan, and Oregon, respectively. But from conversations with them, I get the impression that, while they carry some traces of their roots with them, they also have much that sets them apart from their background (putting a high value on formal education, cultural tolerance, etc).

And ultimately, Bay Area values WERE formed by the people who moved there. Janis Joplin? Texas. Nancy Pelosi? Maryland. Donald Knuth? Wisconsin.
The argument here is that most agree that including fine-print in a contract most people don't read, can't realistically understand, and can't even renegotiate to allow yourself to do awful things is abhorrent.

Well, most do except those who engage in the practice, of course.

It's not a simple system, we have all those things and more. But when we make a service that contains partner user profiles data we optimize for that (=millions of partners accessing their profiles, has to respond immediately and scale infinitely, has to be easy and quick to capture new details like eg mfa preference app vs sms etc), not peripheral things like reports etc - such things have to live life being harder for them than they would be if we had a monolith.

> The real difference is that it's 2-3 times as expensive in the US.

Yes. Which may be caused by the same three issues:

1. Doctors afraid of being litigated by patients, doing unnecessary treatments and paying costly insurance.

2. Corruption and bribery leading to things like Medicare being unable to negotiate drug prices and doctors prescribing addictive opioids to the tune of billions of dollars.

3. Inverted competition: Hospitals run a for-profit business while patients will prefer the best and most expensive service they/their insurance affords them. Who chooses a treatment based on price when your health is at stake? Also, somehow, drug prices are much higher than anywhere else, even completely generic stuff like insulin.

>I wonder if there’s any value to so many words in this day and age with so many other things to read on the internet.

There are many books being written every year, yet the classics remain so -- they aren't pushed away into non-existence.

If you have trouble finding the value in the literature blame the author, not the word-count.

If the question is 'Does short content generate more hits on the internet?', then undeniably yes.

From what I have seen on both sides, I think the main difference is that most Asian people have a culture of group thinking and common interest, while most western people behave selfishly.

I also noticed that western people relies only on the governments rather that the collective and individual actions they can do.

It is clear to me even by reading this page. Everything is about what the governments did or did not, failed or succeeded.

The virus does not care about politics, it is transmitted from one person to another, so the individual persons have the responsibility to do something. The governments does not have the power to stop a pandemic.

Suppose I want to write my own competitor to systemd-resolvd. I want it to work with systemd-networkd, in the same way as systemd-resolvd does. Or just patch dnsmasq or unbound to be able to do that. Is there a stable interface for that? An RFC I can read? Any guarantee they won't change the interface and break my version, while they update both of theirs together?

Transaction data is widely available and considered table stakes today.
It doesn't matter if it's multiple services or one monolith, once you have multiple teams on one product the complexity is already there. The argument is that microservices force it to be visible and dealt with while monoliths hide it until you blow your feet off.
I think whether that's the case is largely dependent on implementation.

It could increase or decrease software complexity. It could also increase or decrease devops complexity.
Anagenex | ONSITE or REMOTE | San Francisco | Lead ML Engineer, Computational Chemist

We are a seed stage biotechnology company building a novel platform for drug discovery focusing on difficult targets. Machine learning has struggled in early stage drug discovery efforts because most of these efforts do not have enough data for the models to parse. Our technology solves the data problem with massively parallel biochemistry in the form of DNA Encoded Libraries (DELs), allowing us to analyze 100-1000x more compounds compared to traditional approaches. By feeding our algorithms with this data we can identify better compounds faster than competing solutions. We recently closed a substantial seed investment (2+ years runway) and are assembling a highly interdisciplinary team of both bench and computational scientists. Come help us build the future of drug discovery!

Lead Engineer with Data and some ML focus: We are looking for our first computational hire who in time will help build and manage this team. This person will be driving technology choices, designing and building data architectures. These systems will take in raw experimental data as well as other information from lab instruments and integrate that data into models predicting several biochemically relevant properties. A flexible skillset incorporating database design, familiarity with current data pipeline tools, and ability to engineer practical solutions to a variety of computational needs is a must. We favor python, but aren’t dogmatic.

Computational Chemist: We are looking for a computational chemist to create a cutting edge drug discovery toolchain. We strongly favor open platforms such as RDKit but are open to alternatives that maximize performance. This person should be familiar with traditional SAR, structure based drug discovery, ADME prediction and have some exposure to more recent ML applications to drug discovery.

These roles are both asking a lot, and correspondingly we offer strong equity and competitive compensation. The roles are also a unique opportunity to build systems correctly from the ground up to solve a really important problem!

Odds and ends:

Interview process is generally a few phone/video conversations and some small practicum work, but is adapted to the individual at this stage of the company. Also expect 3-5 conversations with other members of the team to ensure culture fit (we're 3 strong now, everyone needs to get along).

Onsite is expected to eventually be in SF, but we are launching a Boston location for our lab operations. Of course, given the pandemic is hybrid/remote for the time being, and is likely to continue for longer term.

We offer healthcare coverage and typical technology startup benefits.

This is what my objection really is. At best, the non-preposterous combinations will mean the same thing as the original. Most combinations will carry a different meaning or none at all. There's no reason to treat it like a search space to test all of the possible arrangements, because there is no additional meaning to uncover that way.

It sounds like you've already made a choice, but on the off chance you haven't I would suggest Kotlin.

I would recommend Scala in second, but you really need at least one person who knows Scala well to navigate the wildly divergent styles of Scala programs out there.

Kotlin gives you sum types via sealed classes. In fact it's basically the bare minimum of Java + sum types + some syntactic sugar.

It has rock solid tooling due to Jetbrains support. It has access to the entire JVM ecosystem. It has a huge amount of learning materials out there. And it's got all the resources on how to deal with web CRUD problems you could ever imagine.

It's not server-side Elm by a long shot, but to be fair, Elm would suffer from all the same problems you listed.
I love my service based architecture. It's about 10 years old and I can't imagine a better way of separating concerns and keeping a clean, maintainable, and resilient e-commerce operation up and running. I don't have hundreds of services, there are maybe 30. Each service is responsible for a particular domain, and if another service wants access to that domain it must go through the appropriate service. I can't imagine having a single process "monolith" being responsible for so many things, it would be a nightmare. I also can't imagine not enforcing separation of concerns via services, code would be duplicated everywhere. I was thinking the other day about the cost of serialization, which isn't too bad. If it is too bad then you're probably sending too much data over the wire, and should do more processing on the remote end of the wire. I think some people go overboard with the micro part of microservices. If there isn't a clear separation of domain, then there should probably just be one service. You can still modularize the code as much as you want within the service.

Depends what you mean. If it can be specified by a finite sequence of operations, I’d say it’s publishable.

If you’re going to restrict “publishing” to binary fixed point, arguably 1/3 is unpublishable.
No, it's completely different than simple squaring. The inverse square root is undefined for negative numbers ;)
Not quite. Consider pay for athletes and entertainers. Why pay Robert Downey Jr. big bucks? There are millions of actors out there!

No, there could be a long tail of meagerly paid folks, just like baristas who aspire to be professional singers. But some folks (allegedly the best of the best somehow) will be getting top dollar.
There is no clear explanation why they do this in the article.
I wonder if this is just a fad until people realize they don't actually like the rural life as much as they think they would.
People LIKE to live on the edge. It is an unfortunate fact ... especially given their are 9B of us. Super bad for the ecology, the encountering of new diseases etc. Suburbs Exurbs, retreats... never ends. If we had a Home (like most animals) we would have to worry much less about despoliation and ravages like fires. Why not have a home to live in and allow ourselves rest, relaxation and recovery in an unspoiled wilderness??
Don't you see that this is the kind of framing that rubs people the wrong way? There's nothing wrong with having different preferences, but it's frustrating for Bay Area natives to constantly hear that it's a terrible place nobody could enjoy on its own terms.
I dropped Firefox for brave because Firefox dropped support for massive amounts of simple power user features like RSS while claiming they were all “too hard to maintain”. Meanwhile they put massive amounts of time and effort into trying to be a chrome look-alike which adds zero value.
It's perhaps worth pointing out that the author of this blog post explicitly decided against using Clojure a second time for Dark after cofounding CircleCI, mainly due to a lack of sum types.

Did you seriously mention CORBA as a API interface method in 2020?

As a corporate contractor who had to use CORBA back in the iInterface days of Win95, just the mention of it spins me into a semi-PTSD fit.

Exactly this. Well hype moves sales when people buy into that marketing crap.
I'm not making any such claim. I'm saying I built a 24-7 available physical 17-server cluster to operate my startup's needs. I had more capacity than I needed, but at the same expense thru AWS I'd not have enough to operate. At less than the expense of one AWS month, I had my entire environment owned outright. How is that difficult to understand?
All the tracking is far more involved than cookies though.

> Monoliths can do transactionally consistent stuff.

So can microservices, both internal to the service (via simple transactions) and between services (via distributed transactions, e.g., 2PC), though a good service design minimizes the need for the latter and is mostly guided by consistency boundaries as to where to draw service boundaries.)

(It's true that there are naive microservices architectures pursued that are essentially normalized relational designs with a one-service-per-table rule, but that's just bad—and usually cargo-cult—design.

Howdy,

I'm Steve. I work for SpaceX, and I'm the hiring manager for the 'Senior Full Stack Software Engineer (Application Software): https://grnh.se/1f5a69532us' position. I've been here for 4.5 years and I think what we do is neat.

This is an exciting time to be working in this organization. We just launched Starlink Beta; we have engineers writing software to help produce Starlinks (the dish), control our network, and manage customer accounts. At the same time, we have engineers writing software to help produce Starships, Dragon capsules, and refurbished Falcon 9 first stages. The projects we take on to aid these programs are challenging and rewarding.

If you have any questions about the role, our organization, or working at SpaceX, ask away. I'll do my best to respond promptly.

Best,
Steve

"In computer science, imperative programming is a programming paradigm that uses statements that change a program's state."

The above quote is ripped straight out of wikipedia's definition of imperative programming showing that what I said wasn't a misunderstanding but an official definition.

The definition of imperative programming must include mutation otherwise it's isomorphic to functional programming. Because functional programming is simply statements without mutation.
