I need to prepare clases, request grants, and do research in a hypercompetitive environment where you need better CV than competitors.

Not to be unsympathetic, but it's baffling to me why academics, who are mainly smart, innovative people, don't band together across disciplines to reshape their environment and wrest control out of the hands of the administrators who frequently make their life a misery.
Is this the game where we use Google Search terms to imply the holocaust didn't happen and get faux outraged when the results include sites saying it didn't, or the Deep Dream game where we find beauty in what AI returns when you feed it illogical data?
I just spoke to Samantha, and I learned that she recently took accepted a full-time position and is unfortunately no longer taking on editing clients.
Key difference to me is whether the comp is direct commission, or a pool at the discretion of a manager. I'd do sales eng in the former case where there was a shot at multiples of base salary, but otherwise it's a more political process that others find more appealing than I do.
My basic dislike for systemd is it a large change to the overall system, and doesn't provide me any benefits that I can tell. Beyond that, I've experienced or read about many negative things.

a) I ran into an issue with changes in startup scripts in Debian which meant I could no longer hit ctrl-c to stop network initialization on a laptop when it couldn't get a dhcp lease (it was either not connecting well to wifi , or trying to get a lease on a disconnected wired NIC; it was a while ago, I don't quite remember)

b) there have been many secuirty issues in systemd and systemd-* utilities. Quite a few of which were repeats of issues existing daemons had been through, that shouldn't have been repeated.

c) I have read that in default configurations a user's programs will be terminated after the user logs out; that's not acceptable for me, and a large change in default behavior

For me, systemd is yet another churny subsystem that drives aggrivation, so since I was already exposed to FreeBSD through work, it made sense to me to go in that direction at home, instead of sticking with Debian and accepting systemd.
The numbers you link don’t support your ranking, unless you’re specifically ranking by cold start alone.
Even then it doesn’t make sense to group Python and Node but not Go, as Node and Go are significantly closer than Node to Python.

I've mentioned this elsewhere but; I'm not arguing co-location over cloud. I'm arguing inexpensive cloud like DigitalOcean, Linode, or LightSail over a complex AWS configuration designed to scale with near infinite flexibility. Why does a product that gets 100 visitors a day need that? $5-10/month serves them just fine.
Anbox is so RAM-heavy that it really isn't a realistic solution for running Signal (or OSMAnd, another app that I need on my daily driver), at least not on the 2GB Pinephone board. Yes, Anbox support is moving right along so that you can open an Android app on your Pinephone, but not in a way that you can also use e.g. the web browser at the same time.
Only for a really weird technical definition of "trustless". You have to trust that the smart contract does what's intended, in the way you think it does so. So you need to either trust someone who knows the relevant programming language to audit it, or learn enough to audit it yourself. VS legal contracts, where you have to trust a lawyer to audit the contract but at least have the benefit of laws and bar association ethical rules to constrain the lawyer's behavior. Either way, in practice most people will have to trust someone to safely use any smart contract.

Monograph | Senior Rails Engineer | Full-time, REMOTE in US

We do 4-day (32 hour) work weeks at Monograph, and we've been doing it for 3 years now. I believe we're one of the only companies in SV that are advocates for working less, but more productively. We only have one engineering/product meeting each week and then everything else is heads down work (or one-on-one pairing).

To learn more about our engineering culture check out our Key Values profile: https://www.keyvalues.com/monograph (Lynne is a good friend!)

We're currently looking for a senior backend engineer (ideally with some production Rails exp) that is interested in building resilient, flexible systems for a thoughtfully moving startup.

Here's the full job description:

Is there a way to use lambda where I can use ffmpeg to watermark and downscale a 4K video? Possibly some system where I can throw a lot of computing at the job and get it done quickly. Right now on my vps it takes multiple minutes to get done and scaling up the vps for one feature or dedicating another server for it is overkill.
Erlang/OTP/BEAM are so unusual within the computing world: highly opinionated components that, thanks to their constraints, are keenly complementary and optimized for each other.

No kitchen sink language here: play by their rules or choose a different environment.

Oh, I agree, it is all tradeoffs.

Losing the ability to cheaply share objects, including closures, is a big tradeoff though.

BTW lock free queues and data structures are pretty much required for interprocess sharing, unless you really want to deal with robust mutexes (and you don't!)

WHAT? I run freebsd and develop/maintain sometimes Windows "Apps" with the virtual machine.
Someone who is doing a cost comparison of running Wordpress and forums has absolutely no idea about any of those mentioned services and the power they bring.

SQS is just such an amazing tool in a developer's toolkit that is one of those transformational pieces to how you write software. Combine that with Lambda to consume messages, S3 as your object storage, and Dynamo as your state management, and you unlock the capability of a single engineer to write applications that would have taken teams and teams of people only a few years ago.

Again, does this mean anything to the Wordpress crowd? Probably not. But the ability to bring a new project to market quickly and grow that project is no longer bottlenecked by how fast you can get on your phone to your colo provider on Saturday night.
This is my go to stack these days for personal projects. (That said, I'm a former AWS dev, so I'm super familiar with these moving parts.)

It's easy to develop for, it's easy to automate deployments, I don't have to worry about keeping anything up to date, and I can just focus on the small amount of code I want to write.

The most expensive thing is the Route 53 configuration at $0.50/month/domain.
Everyone, I think. There was a whole 8 months between application, the pandemic, acceptance, the continuing pandemic, and start of school. By March - April it was pretty clear things were headed in this direction.
This limitation also applies to the Safari and Chrome sandboxes on macOS. Being able to get metadata like this off of the system of someone who warrants buying a V8 vulnerability to attack them seems like a reasonable possibility to me.

Most other similarly-paid professions have some kind of standards body or at least far more rigorous formal education requirements. LeetCode interviews seem like a natural consequence of the low formal barrier to entry.
When the term PC was coined by IBM they ran PC DOS and were entirely single-user and incapable of multitasking of any kind.
Is it safe to assume these are nascent startups that need scale to succeed?

If that's the case, then you are probably right that most will never need to scale. You can build them a solution that can't scale and it'll be the correct solution for the 90% that fail. And it'll be the wrong solution for the 10% that succeed.

I used to do this until I just gave in and installed Linux as my daily driver. The separation between the machine I was using and the Linux install I was interacting with was too great, and was more frustrating than anything. Also using modern Linux features locally was a big draw, as cgroups and native Docker are great.

Also, try adaptive acceleration with your touchpad or mouse.
> I think people see python as accessible but not very fast. Then they see Go which is fairly accessible but with significantly better performance than python. Why not use Go instead?

Most (all?) 3d graphics programs use python as an extension language so they'd have to re-architecture their whole system to use Go programs in place of python. If it's even possible to dynamically load Go programs without having to resort to an Inkscape level of tomfoolery where the extension is called as a separate program and all the data is passed as shell arguments.

...not saying anything is wrong with Inkscape's way of doing things but I sure wish it had a built-in python api.

+++++ BI ENGINEER INTERN, DATA ANALYST INTERN +++++

Hi everyone! I'm Sofia

((looking for an internship / working student position starting in BERLIN from January 1st))

Throughout university I have interned as a UX Researcher in two startups and contributed greatly to the company’s success in design and analytics. Currently, I am more focused on data analysis and modeling. I have enhanced my analytical skills and gained some knowledge of quantitative research techniques and descriptive statistics that will be valuable for analyzing large-sample quantitative surveys and usability testings. I am good at descriptive statistics, data interpretation, and data cleaning.

As well as that, I spent this year learning data-driven approaches and I think I could bring a lot of value to the company by transforming raw data into valuable information. I am a very easy-going and self-motivated person who acts confidently and volubly. Besides, I am a self-taught developer who completed a couple of 300-hour courses on FreeCodeCamp.

Please drop me an email to let me know if you think I’d be a good fit. Thanks :)

Good luck to everyone!
Removing yourself from the equation is so important. The most recent gift I bought I thought was completely stupid, but it was something someone close to me had abstractly mentioned wishing it had existed (cell phone controlled tea kettle). I openly mocked them for wanting something I found idiotic and told them at the time they were a lazy bum and suggested buying my sensible cheap manual kettle. But I made damn sure to find one, and a power converter to make them happy.

I just did a simple calculation of the weight of the instrument platform, listed at 900 tons. The maximum takeoff weight of a Boeing 787 is just over 500,000 pounds, or 250 tons ... so the instrument platform was the equivalent of three fully loaded 787s, plus two M1A1 tanks piled on for good measure.
> That would be reminiscent of many past macOS security issues: processes are treated differently based on their code signature and entitlements, and sometimes that has unexpected consequences.

Hmm, I wonder if this is the root cause of something my friend group found in high school. We had macs that were locked down and I think it was something the system did vs third-party software but I could be mistaken. Pretty much you could only launch certain applications and you couldn't edit and preferences/settings for the system. Being kids we wanted to play Starcraft so I brought in a bunch of copies to play during our free period. Unfortunately you couldn't launch the Starcraft app. I still don't remember how we even figured it out but you could go into Safari and change the default browser to Terminal, then you could open up a word doc, type a link, and click it (or anything that would cause the system to open a link when you weren't already in a browser). That would launch Terminal but with a level of permissions that you couldn't get by launching it directly (or maybe it was that we couldn't even open Terminal directly, it's been a while). Once you had this "system-permissions-Terminal" launched you could type "open /path/to/Starcraft/launcher" and boom, Starcraft would launch and it was off the races.

Good times. Our teacher questioned how we could play games and if it was allowed but was placated with the explanation "The computers are all locked down so the ability to play this game means it must be ok to play". A bit of circular-logic and misdirection but this was still in period where all the teachers were woefully behind on technology and how it worked.
The funny thing is the inequality that exists today is directly _because_ of choosing certain groups ( typically middle-to-upper class white males in the USA ) and historically and systematically disenfranchising others who didn't fit the expected image. ( See: perspectives on voting, women doing "men's jobs", criminal justice system issues etc.)
I agree with the statement, but one thing to note is that if you were building for colocation you would probably build the whole thing in a different way. Not suggesting that it would be trivial or anything, but you probably would not replicate the mentioned services, more likely you would use other/different types of software packages (for example rabbitMQ for queues). It may not be the exact replica but it covers the use cases needed in your application (now no longer designed with "infinitely" scalable cloud).

While one of the benefits of things like AWS and GCP is the availability of all kinds of services, but at the same time we are to some extent loosing control. I have personally had several cases where I was thinking "This thing would be so useful" but AWS/GCP/Pick your cloud did not have it and it would have been a hassle to jam that one piece of supporting software together with the core services, so it never got taken into use.
IME Recovery mode fails as often as it works.
