Prolegis | Remote only ( US-Based) | Full Time

We're looking for a Senior Full-Stack Engineer.

Prolegis is creating free, non-partisan, world-class tools that empower policy professionals to legislate, regulate, and govern smarter.

As Senior Full-Stack Engineer, you will be working within a tight-knit team of engineers (including myself) to help push the Prolegis application forward. You'll be responsible for the user-facing components of our application, and your work will directly impact the work of policy professionals engaged in the complex effort of debating and crafting legislation and regulations.

Application and more position details are here: https://jobs.lever.co/prolegis/29341bcc-d257-4279-8230-96aa0...

Any questions, feel free to reach out to me either here or at ryan@prolegis.com (I'm the Director of Engineering).
Very interesting, we should get in touch to see if there is a possibility of collaboration here. If interested, email me y.thibodeau1@gmail.com
The point of a newtype is that it allows you to create a wrapper around some other type for one of the following two purposes:

1. Marking the kind of data to prevent mixing up values of different kinds. (e.g. Email)

2. Outlawing some of the values of the underlying type. (e.g. OneToFive)

I do not think it being a tuple-struct or not is important at all when deciding whether something uses the newtype pattern, as long as it has a single field.

And that somehow automatically makes him a bad person? If you truly think that, I recommend rethinking your priorities and taking a self reflection look.

"Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."
Thank you for posting these responses, because this conceptual material around "Schelling Points" and such is incredibly useful - and tends to be a blind spot within the tech community.

(Curiously I've also found that "theory of mind" issues are a real struggle with programming circles - i.e. keeping track of who is aware of what information, or especially, not realizing that just because you, yourself have learned a fact or built a thing, that that info isn't automatically 'pushed' to everyone else.)
Do you have evidence that users agreed to that behavior at signups?

If everyone wants to fill up their tank at once, the gas stations run out of gas. This doesn't happen with any regularity, which I take as an indicator that the scenario you're describing is very rare.
>As the title is a direct quote - a statement of fact - it could hardly be less incendary.

A quote completely taken out of context is incendiary.
Voting for someone you might not agree with is a mistake now?
Nikola Tesla Died in 1943. What Happened Next?
Nikola Tesla, the electrical engineer that invented the first Alternating Current motor and made major contributions to AC power transmission and generation that is still the dominate backbone of our electric grid, also generated a lot of speculative hypotheses that became legendary as well. When he died, the FBI ordered his belongings seized, on the grounds that some people thought they might contains workable plans for everything from death ray machines to wireless power transmission.

The FBI, of course, had no ability to analyze Tesla's stuff, to determine what if anything should be classified and not allowed to fall into foreign hands. So they called in an expert, a distinguished Electrical Engineering professor from MIT – a man named Dr. John Trump, who agreed to go through it all. He found no evidence that Tesla had made any breakthroughs in weapons technology.

Dr. John Trump is President Donald Trump's uncle.

Obviously this is a very talented family. I know of very few cases where two consecutive generations exhibit such incredibly high performance in multiple fields. The Trump family meets this high benchmark in Real Estate (Trump's father), Electrical Engineering (Trump's uncle), Politics and Real Estate again (Donald Trump himself).

One thing I always tell my engineers, whether they are peers, superiors or subordinates is that they should always filter-out stylistic differences, particularly annoying stylistic differences, and focus on the substance when dealing with anyone, but make absolutely sure to do this when dealing with exceptionally talented people.

This spring, I deployed 20 PI's at work for a project and they are used every day, many many times a day. I've had 2 corrupt SD card failures so far. It's hard to know for certain what the cause is. We have spare SD cards to swap in for this application. For my application, having a spare SD image isn't a problem and I don't need five 9's of uptime, but the SD cards seem to be a point of fragility. Ultimately we're very happy with the system, but the SD cards are a point of failure that just need to be mitigated.
Maybe you should do what our CCNA instructor did - if you brick one of the routers you have to fix it yourself.

Is it such a terrible "learning" Experience that yanking the power cable out is a bad idea as others have said the pi's should have better power supplies.
DLSS is trained with a much higher resolution version of the game. So when it 'upscales' 720p to 1080p its not just using the 720p data as input but also the knowledge of how the game should look at an extremely high resolution. Basically it has a lot more (hidden) knowledge than the current low resolution frame. Hence why its more effective than a traditional upscaler.
Indeed, what is an effective technical protection measure is highly debatable.

The only problem is the only likely chance of definitively finding out in your territory is to have a criminal action against you and see if you win in court.
Sorry. I had the impression it had some form of PWM. In any case, we can always make it work with a square wave.

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

We make source control and DevOps tools for the Salesforce 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 https://www.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

Email jobs@bluecanvas.io if you're interested.
Eleos Technologies (https://eleostech.com) | Front-end Web Engineering | Permanently Remote (US only) | Full time
Eleos Technologies is a growing 8-year-old company building communication software for truck drivers and field workers.

We’re helping a diverse mix of customers—from mom and pop operations to household names—improve how they communicate with their employees by tackling information overload, reducing phone calls, and eliminating obsolete technologies.

Our app is used by thousands of big-rig and small truck drivers, day and night, every day, and we've been on a sustainable growth curve for long enough that we're ready to grow our web frontend team from one to two!

Our driver-facing mobile app does some unique things, including assisting drivers with planning their trips, finding stopovers, managing their electronic duty log, and more. There's a back-office side to all this, too—driver managers and dispatchers need to know the decision matrix the driver in the field solves so they can help plan what's coming up next. Our web-based tools help with that, and integrate with the mobile app.

As a remote team (since founding!), we're super lucky to have some great folks who use the ability to work from home to spend more time with their kids, help volunteer at a school, or otherwise be more fulfilled than they would be working from an office. You could join us!

If that sounds fun and rewarding to you, the full description and info about applying are over here:

The problem is security, as usual. You can use opengl to exploit a host system, therefore all interactions have to be whitelisted and checked. Compute shaders I know can be crafted to bring your PC to a grinding halt.

Webgpu will be a lovely security nightmare. The underlying hardware is inherently insecure. It's fast, not safe. Safety is simply not a feature of graphics operations.

as a user, I might actually prefer to just make them public, though.

Honestly, I think the wording here is... fucking awful. But the intention itself doesn't actually seem deceptive or malicious at all once you understand the pricing model.
I went into OVH and AWS rabbit hole. I think person needs to understand the concept of alternative cost when approaching such problem. Sure, you will save money on the server itself, but you don't get all other things that AWS is adding and you would have to one way or another do them by yourself. Even if your time is extremely cheap, I don't think one is able to beat their price as much to justify doing all this work. They've been at it for years and their solution is battle tested and you may be adding issues you won't be aware of that will bite you once you get growing.
Out of curiosity, were your prior beliefs about your home country, America, or global civilization? Would you mind sharing a few of them?

While he certainly had a fine mind and intellectual curiosity, it also seems he required exposure to different cultures, places, and events such as the Spanish civil war. Your own experiences provide similar anecdote, and my own travels certainly reinforce they idea.

It is highly unlikely that you really have a "slow metabolism". Outside of a few rare medical conditions, metabolic rates only vary by a few percent for a given height, weight, and sex. It's more likely that you're underestimating calorie consumption. I recommend getting a resting metabolic rate test to accurately quantify your baseline.

It's terrible for your engine/fuel system. Attracts water, increases rust, breaks down faster. It's also less efficient than gas, it takes 1.5 gallons of ethanol to equal the amount of energy in 1 gallon of gasoline.
> Did you have access to the entire source code and understanding of all services running the system?

Near enough, yes. Sure, there are millions of lines of code, and I did not read every one, but I debugged enough issues that I'm sure I would have come across this capping effect if it existed and affected more than some dormant/test accounts.
[Meta] What's up with the upvoting / downvoting in the comments on this article?

It seems atypical for HN-as-usual, but there doesn't even seem to be a pattern to the downvoting.

I understand coronavirus is a hot button topic, but I'm mostly just confused and curious about what's going on.

PS: Obligatory "let's please avoid conjuring coordinated astroturfing campaigns out of thin air to explain" :)

No, it's absolutely terrible that private content would be made public instead of locked or deleted.

Publicizing private content as a side effect of something other action is halfway to revenge porn.
Yes, I did get the official converter. I think it was a waste as it doesn't do anything aside from the not very useful screw-suction thing. Even when fully out the suction mechanism does take up space that could be ink volume and after the first disposable that came with it refills have come more often.

If I ever use a disposable cartridge again I'll try reusing it instead.
Interesting it was painted and not a differently colored plastic.

We're currently hiring for multiple roles:

Engineering
- Head of Engineering
- Product Engineer (Front-end)
- Senior Full Stack Engineer (TypeScript)

Growth
- Product Growth Engineer
- Developer Marketing Coordinator

Far-Infrared Now Near: Researchers Debut Compact Terahertz Laser
Again, the article is proposing things like allowing the market to build new housing. So, according to your framing of the issue, doing this would hurt "wealth creators" that sit on a house they inherited (in a growing location by chance), and reward wealth destroyers, like people who build new housing for people to live. Does this framing seem more useful than the article's?

It's easy to develop a knee-jerk reaction to bad economic ideas that are frequently justified by "fairness", which IMO is such a fuzzy term as to be pretty much useless. But this does not seem to be a collection of those ideas, but instead reasonable ones based on examining cause-effect relationships and where current regulations may be leading to negative outcomes. Do you really mean to object to this?

Rather than price being determined by "wealth creation", I think a more nuanced view is price is determined by supply and demand. But that the real wealth of countries in the long run is determined by productivity (units of output per unit of labor), and that these things may be correlated but not perfectly so (shortages and inflation make prices go up but don't create wealth).

Anyway, the article doesn't seem to be a call for dramatic expansion of government but rather a call to examine cause-effect relationships and to use existing policy tools in a smarter way, including removing harmful regulations, in the interest having economic opportunity be more widespread. I think this is exactly the sort of thinking we need, and rejecting it because it sounds a bit superficially similar to bad economic thinking is a mistake. Bad economic ideas are likely to be the alternative.

The thing is, looking at the seasonality of the other strains of coronaviruses, you can see how it kind of looks to what we had this year (only worse as no one was ever infected with this). See Fig. 1 here : https://smw.ch/article/doi/smw.2020.20224

Causal | Full-stack Engineer | London (UK) or REMOTE | https://causal.app

Causal is a human way to think and communicate with numbers. Our product is a number-crunching tool that's a bit like a spreadsheet and a bit like programming. Our vision is to be the de-facto way for anyone to work with numbers on a computer.

We're very early stage, but well-funded by some great investors across the US and Europe, and ready to make our first hire.

---

Role: Full-stack Engineer

Our stack is React/Redux/TypeScript on the frontend, and Node/TypeScript on the backend. We're looking for engineers who have experience with these technologies.

Our product primarily consists of a web UI on the frontend and a computation engine on the backend. The product needs a low floor and a high ceiling — it should be simple enough for anyone to get started with, but powerful enough for really complex use-cases. Performance is paramount on both the frontend and backend.

Our next big project is a rewrite of the computation engine to efficiently handle models with up to 1M nodes. The challenge is to show the user instant results (frontend) when possible and run complex operations (Monte-Carlo simulations, API calls) on the backend. We also want to improve our multi dimensional modeling capabilities which leads to various UI/UX challenges.

Our roadmap contains more projects we're planning to work on: https://www.notion.so/00f79272b4ec4d6790ec98120788d850.

We have a nice office in London (UK) but are also open to remote hires. If this sounds interesting then I'd love to chat! taimur (at) causal.app
