OnRamp | Senior Full-Stack Engineer | Boston/Remote | try.onramp.us | Full-time

Check out the full listing here!: https://angel.co/company/onramp-2/jobs/1065248-senior-full-s...

Hey all! - my name’s Sean (sean @ onramp.us) and I am the founding engineer at a company called OnRamp. At OnRamp, we’re building tools that help companies actually get actual work done between them - starting with customer onboarding. Poor customer onboarding is the #1 reason customers churn (Don’t see value from a new tool? You move on. We’ve all been there…) We see tools like Asana, Trello, and JIRA as focused on internal project or task management; OnRamp flips this on its head to focus on what it takes to work effectively with folks outside your organization in a new way that hasn’t been done before.

We’re looking for a senior full-stack engineer to join me and our small but growing team. Our stack consists of Python/Flask/Vue.js/Postgres on AWS and we’re looking for someone with ~5 years+ experience. We’re open to remote candidates but Boston would be preferred, and we are well funded. Thanks!
Single-core performance is certainly one measure of a gaming cpu. But I would argue that "gaming" has evolved a little since. Gamers now also want to stream. They want to record. They want alt-tab to a video chat. They want to play one game while Steam is downloading updates for several others. Having extra unused cores can be useful in such situations. There is a use case for threadripper in gaming.

There are also a few games (Factorio) where ram limitations can bottleneck before cpu/gpu limitations, where Threadripper's extra memory channels can really help.

They've made huge improvements.

My NYC apartment has a modern heat pump and it certainly works when it's 0°F outside which is well below freezing -- according to its specs, it's still more energy-efficient than electric coil heating as long as the outdoor temperature is above something like -10°F.

So it's not for extreme cold (-30°F), but it can absolutely handle a wide range of sub-freezing temperatures.
I was thinking about on boarding investors, on boarding clients, generating reports for this investors, collecting payments, etc. I think the meter data is of the least importance here. I've worked with huge amounts of remote metering applications that have significantly more dollars at stake. The industries that use them already have standards in place for how to deal with measurement problems.

If you are right then I'd hope you'd start an efficiency as a service company that covers upgrade costs up front and collects payments over time. There is a huge lack of providers in the space that are a few thousand dollar or less upgrades with payouts over about two years. You can see the challenge, you have to spend less than a few hundred dollars in overhead/transactions over a multi year relationship!

The vast majority of companies in this space are targeting large facilities with multi million dollar upgrades, because it is hard to make the numbers work otherwise.
Ideally you want tooling that allows you to toggle between the diff between 2 and 3 and HEAD and 3, and to specify that 2 is the parent of 3.

Some folks use "stacked diffs" or "stacked commits" to do this. Others use feature branches, or a patch series.

I didn't realize that they were this far with Nanopore technology. Really awesome stuff.

The weird thing in this article is that they say that "Most of the studying of DNA: aligning, analyzing, is done on large server clusters or high-end laptops." but that an iPhone app can replace that. In my experience, aligning is not computationally intensive at all.

I think the biggest thing is documentation. Tachyons has basically none, the only way you would even know that you can do responsive design with it for example is by reading all of the CSS.

It depends on the cost of electricity. In most of Massachusetts and New York, for example, electric is too expensive.
I’m not sure if it would fit into your dev stack, but letting Tailwind be handled by a Makefile might help. Or, really, any build tool that can use timestamps to determine if a build is needed.

I’ve got a setup like this for a couple Eleventy projects, where it kicks off ‘make’ before starting the dev server. Most of the time, make will finish instantly because I haven’t changed the CSS source. Here’s the file I use in case it helps: https://gist.github.com/dceddia/be4d0f136a340359a57a52f16893...
I've worked with this type of colleague. I remember a specific example where, fresh out of university, I was assigned to pair with one. We had to create a front-end validator for the password reset feature, for users stored in LDAP. I was thinking "Wow, getting the password policies from LDAP must be a pain, it'll take a while to implement that feature". Nope, just copied whatever settings were currently in LDAP into our app's config file.

A couple months later, a pair of engineers on the team had to spend 4+ weeks developing an "installer" to properly install & configure our app, as it had grown too complex to install & configure by hand. Management couldn't really figure out why...

It is not flourishing, it is underground and/or illegal in almost every country in the world. Your example of Libya shows just how badly governance has to break down in order for slavery to regain even a shadow of its former importance. The number of people enslaved has gone from substantial portions of humanity to a fringe activity, mostly on the margins of society.

The destruction of chattel slavery as a prevailing institution (after it being normalized for thousands of years) should be counted as one of the greatest human triumphs. That you think the historic slavery in the Americas, Africa (especially in the Congo), China, etc.. is somewhere in the same ballpark as what goes on today is astonishing to me.

To say slavery is "flourishing" is not only incorrect, it is cynical aned likely demotivating to those people who actually work to reduce debt bondage, sex trafficking, child labor and other forms of "modern" slavery. What is your motivation here?

Pointing out that the battle against slavery isn't completely won yet is reasonable, saying "wage slavery" exists is also true, but pretending there was no transition away from slavery starting in the 1800s is just wrong.

That's a bit sad. I still have one of their laptops that I bought over eight years ago, and it's still going pretty strong (as an almost-always-plugged-in beside the couch machine, anyway.) Happy that I bought it for what was at the time quite overspecced so haven't really needed an upgrade.

To add to the sibling comments, you should avoid this scenario in the first place by hiding things behind feature flags that only apply in dev.

Request 1 can go in fine on its own and reviewed separately

Request 2 can be added feature flagged.

Requests 3 and 4 would remove the respective flags for the scaffolding.

I've not yet tried Tailwind, but I've found the utility classes in Bootstrap to be really useful. Over the years I've encountered a good number of instances on larger sites using traditional/global CSS where a change to a particular style ends up unintentionally affecting random stuff elsewhere. It's really irritating.
Most of us don't bother with bounties anymore. There are a lot of types of software review so I'm not quite sure which one you're referring to. If you're talking about matchmaking for pentests then you're essentially describing a bounty program, the only difference is that bounty programs don't pay researchers for their time. If you're referring to blog/publications on security then this is the first time I've heard of that market.
> Top performers do more work (generally, not always).

Yes, that is true by definition. What is not necessarily true is that all of that work involves writing code.

> generally people capable of writing more code faster are also capable of writing the right code

I disagree here though, and is highly dependent on what you consider to be "the right code". In my experience the people capable of writing more code faster are the people who don't necessarily take the step back and think "should this code even be written at all?".
Small point: what really is the advantage in pushing those services 'to the edge'?

AWS lambdas, when they are warm, are fast.

Supposing there is a 100ms extra response time due to non-edge and AWS Lambda for whatever reason - is 100ms really the issue when you're facing a blast of 1.5M users? Issn't it the sheer onslaught of scale that is the concern?

It'd seem to be Static hosting some content on S3 + Lambda+Stripe basically would handle the task no problem.

Or am I missing something?
I wanted to try tailwind on a new CRA app but they’re using a version of postcss that just came out and has a bunch of compatibility problems.

> As of v2.0, Tailwind CSS depends on PostCSS 8. Because PostCSS 8 is only a few months old, many other tools in the ecosystem haven't updated yet

There’s a workaround but it seemed like something I’d have to workaround more than it was worth.

I concur with your point, considering we already have methods like hashing to create rather unique signatures, and with frameworks and regulations(laws). I'm going to vaguely quote James Mickens here, but you can basically sue someone if there is an issue. If there is an issue on the block chain? You need to fork it. Oh, and the talk for anyone who's interested considering he conveys a few interesting points I've seen throughout this thread. https://youtu.be/15RTC22Z2xI
You remove the master key nature that they have over their services and devices and let people manage their own master keys. I.e. let other app store happen, do not require apple to be the sole dispenser of keys, let side loading happen, etc.

That removes a lot of profit from their %30 cut although, so they are directly incentivized to prevent that from happening
Just focusing on a singular statement in the super typical low substance, high stock footage, fast cuts video:

"In the last ten years energy consumption increased exponentially world wide."

It sure doesn't look exponential: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/primary-energy-consumptio...

And if you break it down by energy use per person a really interesting trend emerges:

https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/per-capita-energy-use?tab...

For much of the western world energy use per person has flat-lined or started decreasing. This appears to be a fairly robust effect, you can see that Taiwan had very consistent growth until ~2007 at which point their trend closely matches USA/France/Germany.

The tremendous growth in energy consumption is mostly developing nations, mostly Asia, starting to live closer to how developed nations live.
Ang-u-what now?
Thats ridiculous
The thing about "unlimited vacation" policies is there's always a limit. Obviously it can't be 52 weeks. Probably it can't even be 10 weeks. So the question is where that unstated number is.

If the number is the same for everyone, state it. Go ahead and say "Everyone gets 6 weeks vacation." If you don't feel comfortable saying that, then it wasn't unlimited at all, was it?

If the number is different, i.e., junior employees can take less, politically-connected folks and people who figured out how to coast can take more, that's probably a bad thing for your company. At best, make additional vacation a defined promotion benefit.
The problem with small systems like the LUNOS e² is that they're incredibly overpriced. I wouldn't be surprised if its BoM is well under $50. It's basically some fans and plastic pieces.
People take decisions that are in line with their ideology against their economic interest all the time. Pretty much any "poorer than national average" US state that isn't in favor of national healthcare is doing thins. I'd wager more than half of all separatist movements are not for the economic benefit of whoever wants out. And then there's obviously tons of "economically bad but we like it so we do mental gymnastics to pretend it's not" public policy.

I'm not saying this is a bad thing but "doing something against their economic interest" is a really low bar

The opposite problem is also a tooling problem: Why is it hard to save your changes to code, but not the formatting.
My understanding is that 'when hot' AWS Lambdas are pretty quick, and so long as there is basically any traffic, the remain hot? Do you have any details?
"Advantage" sounds quite a bit better than "double-plus good", but I get your point.

I personally like the sound of "quantum supremacy" and think it sounds cool, but it really does not seem worthwhile to die on this hill. If some people have ruined the word and given it extremely negative connotations in the minds of many of my colleagues, why would I insist on using it. For a comically extreme extension of this principle: the swastika used to be a pretty positive symbol, but it was ruined as such. It is not the first time that we as a community have decided that a common symbol/word is "ruined" and I do not particularly care where we place the line on what is considered "ruined".

The best part is he posts reverse engineering content on OnlyFans!
When the PD is asked to turn over the evidence, there is a lot they can do to stall and in some cases lose track of camera or files outright [0]. When you have some generations of body cams in use - such as the Axon 1st generation and non-online 2nd generation - with no formal encryption or verification system, you certainly open the possibility for foul play. The cam files are recoverable as flat files on a disk and are easily modified. So if you look at the chain of evidence, there's a big gap with these cameras. If you have the device in hand, you have access to rewrite the record and claim "missing footage" or that the camera was off [1].

Yea, I get the point of the quote, but as someone actually building an airplane (in my garage), weight is something I'm constantly aware of and looking to minimize. It's not a measure of project progress, but it's a big factor in the final performance of the end product.
Venting significantly reduces the humidity of your air, driving down the heat capacity of it. Meaning you will need less energy to heat up the room.

This thread seems to give a great overview of all interactions: https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/45349/how-air-hu....

It's actually common part of contracts in Germany that you have to vent at least 10min per day through 2 different rooms etc.
>> modern heat pumps, does electric win these days?

Moving parts. Gas is more reliable in the very long term (10/20+ years) because it has fewer moving parts and operates at lower pressures than heat pumps. Gas is also easier to upgrade. Installing a larger furnace or water tank costs X. A new heat pump solution, 10x.

Heat pumps have a place but a New England winter is not that place.

"For climates with moderate heating and cooling needs, heat pumps offer an energy-efficient alternative to furnaces and air conditioners."

Yeah, there's something liberating about knowing we have to get to carbon zero or even carbon negative.

It quickly & significantly narrows the solution space. No amount of carpooling or bicycling will ever be enough by themselves to get us to carbon zero. (Speaking as an avid cyclist)
Bob Dylan Sells His Songwriting Catalog to Universal Music
"How Wikipedia works, in one act: Albert Einstein edits an article and puts in "2+2=4." He is reverted by an editor claiming that "2+2=5." He reverts the edits claiming WP:BLUESKY and "take it to talk, but 2+2=4." Another editor reverts Albert and says, "It's not BLUE if someone reverts, stop edit warring." Albert then goes to the talkpage and presents his case, but the two editors are now claiming they have consensus that 2+2=5. Albert tries to show how 2+2=4, but he is told he is being DISRUPTIVE and a WIKILAWYER. Albert says that consensus can't trump the truth, that 2+2=4. Finally, an admin shows up and blocks Albert Einstein for being distruptive and a wikilawyer. The article now will show that 2+2=5 due to consensus of its editors."

That's only one part of the problem here.

"Competing" in this sense is delivering similar user experience (battery life, performance, seamless hardware interactions) that Apple is achieving through their top-to-bottom control of the hardware and software.

It's not enough to show off Intel/AMD SoCs and call that good when the other components and software force subpar UX.
FYI: PostCSS 8 + Tailwind 2.0 is compatible with Next.js.

You can run `npx create-next-app --example with-tailwind` to get started.
sounds like a case of the good old arguing over the definition of words. You seem to interpret "successful" as "technically successful", that is having achieved success at one point, whereas others might be more inclined to interpret it as "skilled" or "consistently successful"

Maurice Hilleman: The Great Vaccinator
I tried Stencil a year ago and I didn't see anything too novel to warrant further investigation.

One nitpick for the OP: the side-by-side code examples are screenshots without syntax highlighting. For an article comparing two frontend frameworks, that's quite an oversight.
"Just because you don't think design and layout are not important or difficult"

I said neither of these and am not interested in debating a strawman.
I've wasted more life energy arguing on the internet than I care to admit to even myself, and so far, there does seem to be a common theme.

Those that herald the M1 as unequivocally the next great thing are very, very rarely in the same (anecdotal) set of internet users that acknowledge that AMD exists, and makes CPUs. (Or it exists, but the M1 outperforms it in every metric!)

I suspect that many Apple-focused journalists are similarly constrained by tunnel vision, limiting their view of the world as "things that Apple created in the past" and "things that Apple creates now."

For the already Apple faithful, it's not a bad way to go. "Is this new Apple Silicon desktop going to outperform the only option I have now, an Intel Xeon-based Mac Pro?" So it's not too surprising that Intel is their benchmark, even if it ignores much higher performing alternatives available to those outside of Apple's walled garden.
In their side-by-side, they use syntax conventions from 4 years ago for React (class based components and even using var to declare variables) while using the latest syntax conventions for Stencil.

How is that a fair comparison?
