If you need it for CI/CD of some kind, then APIs, networking, access control, and security (including, possibly, physical security) are all important too, and not trivial to do with a machine in your closet.

Paying by the second is also ideal for these use cases. You run a build occasionally, but it mostly sits idle.

I run Windows 10 everwhere, too. I stay on the "happy path" hardware-wise. Everything "just works." Really. I code all day long (Erlang, FSharp, C++/CUDA) and I deploy code on Linux and/or Windows servers on Azure.
I use "hot take" to mean someone is stating an opinion (there is not enough evidence so this is an opinion at best), that they're stating it with probably more intensity/confidence than it deserves, and that you'd expect the opinion to be controversial.

In this case, by "that doesn't seem like a hot take to me" I mean that as far as opinions go this seems pretty uncontroversial.

Spacelift | Remote | Europe | Full-time | Mid-Senior Software Engineer | $50-120k

Stack: Go, AWS, PostgreSQL, Terraform, IaC, React, GraphQL

We’re a VC-funded startup building an automation platform for Infrastructure-as-Code, adding a Policy-as-Code layer above it, in order to make IaC usable in bigger companies, where you have to take care of state consistency, selective permissions, a usable git flow, etc. We also try to understand the managed resources as part of our meta-abstractions, in order to provide insights to our customers.

On the backend we’re using 100% Go with AWS primitives. We’re looking for backend developers who like doing DevOps’ish stuff sometimes (because in a way it’s the spirit of our company), or have experience with the cloud native ecosystem. Ideally you’d have experience working with an IaC tool, i.e. Terraform, Ansible, CloudFormation, or SaltStack.

We’re also looking for frontend developers, who get to work with React and a GraphQL API. DevOps’ish interests are a plus here too, but not required.

Overall we have a deeply technical product, trying to build something customers love to use, and already have multiple happy and satisfied potential clients.

We promise interesting work, the ability to open source parts of the project which don’t give us a business advantage, as well as sane working hours.

If that sounds like fun to you, email me at kubam at spacelift dot io!

PS: Fear not, no whiteboarding!
I take your point, but:

1. This looked more like an early-results announcement than a scrubbed, peer-reviewed paper. Given the pandemic-related subject matter, it seems as though it'd be more important to publicize possibly-lifesaving results as soon as possible than to fix immaterial problems with grammar and spelling.

2. Assuming that we want English to continue being competitive as a global lingua franca (as do I, for selfish reasons), it behooves us native speakers to be tolerant of "aberational" usage by non-native speakers, as opposed to invidiously looking down on those whose usage doesn't conform to our notions of correctness.

(In fact, it'd be good to allow a simplified grammar and spelling to evolve, akin to what I understand used to be the role of Koine Greek, as opposed to Attic Greek, in the days of the Roman Empire.)
Radix Labs | Software Engineers esp. Front End Engineers | Cambridge, MA, USA (Boston area) | Full Time and Co-Op/INTERNS
Biology has talented PhD Biologists spend 5 hours a day on hard to reproduce, unoptimized minutia that isn’t innovative. Radix Labs hopes to accelerate biotech innovation like early compilers did for computing by enabling lab protocols to seamlessly operate and be optimized across physical labs. Our software makes biology reproducible, faster, more efficient, and lets smart biologists focus on the science instead of managing the implementation. We do this by developing a compiler, operating system, scheduler, and device drivers for biology labs and protocols. We have funding from Ycombinator (S18), Firstminute Capital, MIT's The Engine, and Nikesh Arora.

Technologies: 100% Scala code base but we don't require you know it already. (It's helpful if you have past functional programming experience with Erlang, Ocaml, Prolog, Haskell, or similar.) Other tech: HashiCorp stack (Nomad, Consul, & Terraform), Apache Kafka, Akka, ScalaJS React, Z3, Cats, Bazel w/ rules_scala, (some) AWS.

We'll hire smart, good people who are interested in working with us regardless of openings. Right now we're especially looking for a brave, experienced front end developer to lead developing our front end visual programming language that biologists use to describe their protocols to the rest of our software. We're also happy to hire people who are interested in working on compilers and virtual machines for biology labs. Come join our world-class diverse, inclusive, and caring team! You won't be the only woman, trans person, POC, latino/a/x, non-US citizen, wearer of silly hats, or parakeet! We will consider remote candidates and those who need visa sponsorship on a case-by-case basis. We offer equity, great salary, unlimited PTO, medical, dental, and vision insurance, mechanical keyboard budget, and flexible work hours. Any questions, send me an email: halie at radix.bio

> It will restart itself even if a user launched application is running.

This was a huge problem, for me. Some multiaxis CNC toolpaths require days to generate. I missed a critical deadline as a result of Windows 10 deciding to update itself, which finally prompted me to install ShutUp10 from O&O.

I use the maximum shit-disabling mode in ShutUp10. It works. Once or twice a year, I run Windows Update and get updates, then I run ShutUp10 again and disable all the trash Microsoft re-enables.

>I hear this line of thought from people that use FreeBSD often

That's BS and you know it.
Very light on specifics.

I think the one thing he said that resonated is: "Doing forensics is almost impossible." Holy hell, yes. I use a lot of weird USB hardware, and debugging USB serial-port issues is impossible (even with a Beagle USB debugger, it only gets you half way, system logs on macos are not particularly helpful).

Why FreeBSD over Linux?

This is the most perplexing decision in the article. Why would OP do this? I have FreeBSD running on an old laptop, along side an Ubuntu laptop. There's more software ported for Ubuntu than FreeBSD and I don't want to rebuild everything for BSD, I have too much work to do. Nobody targets BSD but BSD devs.

I'd like to know though, OP aside, besides the BSD networking speed and extensions, why FreeBSD over Linux when the latter is more widely supported for GP dev?

I feel the author's frustration, though. macOS is really diverging[1] from BSD and become even more obfuscated, and as a power user who spent over two decades working in Linux, it is very hard for me to treat macOS and Win10 seriously as development platforms (to my hireability's detriment, I suppose) for anything other than Node/Electron and playing around for my own projects.

> I use Windows 10 on a PC I built and it's fine.

Because you probably don't use Win10 the way other people use it. If you've spent any time developing in Linux, Windows is a pathetic development system once you step outside Visual Studio. The Unix command line is one of the most insanely flexible tools every built, which is why the philosophy has changed so little in 40+ years. (Plus I don't like ads popping up in the toolbar or start menu when I'm trying to work.)

[1] Case in point: I tried setting up iPerf on a new MBP today. port/brew both failed to install correctly with lib dependencies broken. `iperf`? Seriously? /smh/

EDIT: I meant despite OP's decision in Q above.
How do you build iOS apps without Apple?
Do you have any stats to back your statement that farmers get 24x7 free water and power supply? Majority of my family from Punjab is into farming and we've always struggled with lack of water and power. There is subsidized power supply on paper but in reality it's supplied way less than what's needed. Same is the case with water. People have to use gensets and thus spend more money than the standard power rate. We would rather pay the market rate for these and get better supply than the subsidized but poor service.
Man, but that is my point exactly - on MacOS you don't have to. It just works?
I'd like to think that the near future will allow large space-based solutions in place of Earth-based and increasingly radiowave-polluted ones.

A far-side moon solution's probably still quite a way off, but I wonder if some sort of lagrangian or outward-facing satellites in geosynchronous orbit might work. I'm imagining satellites with large Earth-facing shields, sort of like a radiowave version of the sunshield on the James Webb Telescope. I'm probably missing some really obvious Physics 101-level reason that wouldn't work, but a girl can dream.

Hi, I'm Manuel! Junior web developer with a passion for data science. I have background in mathematics, and recent experience during an internship with data science and would like to get more experience in this area. I'm looking for full-time work in frontend/backend with particular interest in data centric jobs, but I'm open.

As you noticed, it's not just a RAM issue. The problem is that Linux GUI and apps generally expect laptop/desktop-ish levels of hardware capabilities because that's what they were developed on/for. You're literally running the same code base that the x86 versions run, just recompiled for ARM. Most mobile SoCs, especially the ones that are Linux-friendly in terms of being open enough to be viable, are not even remotely that. On iOS and Android, widely used apps such as browsers are extensively optimized for mobile.

On the Pinephone, and all other ARM-based Linux devices, we're still running applications like web browsers that were written expecting to run on multi-core I/O monsters with lots of RAM, beefier GPUs etc. (the main exception being the main GUI shell... it would be so much worse if you had to boot the phone into a full Gnome/KDE environment) We're still in the late stages of getting the pile of software that is a typical Linux distro running at all on a mobile device. Then assuming these devices get enough traction, you'll start to see more effort put into mobile-optimized software.

My thoughts exactly. If this was just an overlooked bug, which was reported to Apple and which Apple then fixed, that would be the system working as intended.

In reality, a very simple bug was reported more than a year ago, and Apple apparently hasn't cared enough to fix it. The only way I can interpret that is to conclude Apple doesn't really care about the integrity of their sandbox.

IMO, this more than justifies the author's accusation of "security theater". My browsing history is among the most sensitive data on my machine—certainly more private than anything in my Documents folder, which Apple felt the need to protect in a highly-disruptive way. I agree that it can be worth trading some degree of usability for privacy and security, but only if those privacy benefits are real. If they're not, then we're left in the worst of both worlds.

It's really quite damning.
>Eventually Proof of Work WILL kill Bitcoin - but I have to admit this may be decades out in the future.

I always thought the hardwired reward for mining, namely, X btc every 10 minutes, is the cause of Bitcoin's wasting electricity.

The electricity used is roughly proportional to the hashrate, which in turn is roughly proportional to the price of btc -- until the next halving, which I think is more than one year but less than 2 years from now.

These halvings of the reward every 2 years (which occur on a schedule set before Bitcoin was launched all those years ago) will some time in the next 10 years (which is 5 halving, representing a reduction in the reward by a factor of 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 == 32) or 12 years bring the Bitcoin network's electricity usage down low enough that a reasonable person will no longer avoid Bitcoin out of worry that it is bad for the global climate.

Note that this mining reward doled out every 10 minutes is not a transaction fee. E.g., neither of the transacting parties (i.e., neither the sender nor the receiver) pays it.

So tell me again what will eventually kill Bitcoin.
