Nightwatch.io | Remote | Full-time | Elixir, Rust, Ruby, Go

We’re looking for an experienced developer who enjoys working with server side technologies and possesses a good mixture of DevOps and application development chops, has been around the block a couple of times, and would like to build forward-thinking and innovative solutions with experienced teammates in a progressive-oriented environment.

About the role: You should have plenty of experience in building performant, easy to use, well monitored and well tested APIs, creating and maintaining robust web applications, designing efficient data flows, communicating clearly, sharing knowledge and questioning existing solutions.

If you are a positive-oriented hacker who does not fit the traditional company structure and resonates with the mindset of programming languages and paradigms being just a tool and not a heavy personal attachment and identification, then this role might be the right fit for you.

About the company: We’re a self funded SaaS company that primarily builds forward-thinking tools for internet professionals. We are a bootstrapped company that believes the future belongs to smaller companies that don’t subscribe to the 9-to-5 corporate way of doing things. We believe that the Silicon Valley era is over, and we are building a business that allows us to enjoy the freedom of working remotely where each of us has the autonomy and flexibility to have a high impact on the world with our work.

Going to a different room may not be possible for everyone. We have to consider those who live in studio apartments and other kinds of smaller places. But your broader point stands—a decent enough separation between bed and work is critical.

And take advantage of human nature: we're creatures of habit; build solid routines for compounding benefits.
Things I like.

- projects and feature section.

- Simple clean design, easy to edit

- printable

Things I don't like

- Super buggy

- no support for company lookup/reference (need to build company DB and connect the social graphs, this is why Linkedin is so valuable/has a moat i.e. your biggest challenge.)

- No ability to add a custom section to my profile.

- I would like to add things non-work related like music i'm listening to, books I'm reading etc...

- The above makes things more personal, but I would go even further the more intimate the better IMO. Work is personal.
Yes Monero has the use of crime, which is why it's getting delisted from exchanges.
In the extreme it's the Las Vegas aesthetic. Some people do seem to like it, and to others it screams "cheap fake bling". I think the latter group are frustrated that, just like dumb TVs, it's potentially getting harder to find visually quieter components.

Surely there is no tinge of jealousy on missing out on an asset class that has 10xd this year because "it has no value".

So many people are quick to call this out as a bubble as if it's a predetermined outcome, because, have you ever heard of tulip mania and this one time tech stocks, blah blah blah. Call it a bubble after it crashes, not before.

Well, Saylor just made a billion dollars on his convictions (seems like a bad economic outcome to me). The future could prove the bears right but so far the present says they're dead wrong.

One of the funniest things to me is that very few mainstream economists could articulate the value proposition and missed out on the absurd gains of the last 10 years although assessing the value of something like this is exactly what they claim their advanced degrees should give them an advantage in doing. If they truly had a deeper understanding they wouldn't be writing angry rants because the missed the train.

The awesome thing about markets is that they separate the talkers from the doers, so go write another editorial if it makes you feel better. A bunch of kids in their 20's have made more money than this author will make in his whole life because they called it better than this "expert"
Are you long TIPS spread?
Most people don't realize how huge chemical energy is compared to mechanical energy.

Here's a different way to look at the same thing: one gram of carbs has an energy content of 4.2 kcal. That's about 18000 Joules. One Joule is the same as 1 kg*m2/s2; it takes one Joule to lift a mass of 1kg to a height of about 10cm (because the gravitational acceleration is about 10m/s2). So, with 1 Joule you can lift one gram to a height of about 100 meters. With the energy content of 1 gram of carbs, you can lift 1 gram of matter to a height of 1800 kilometers, i.e. more than 4 times higher than the orbit of the International Space Station. When shipping things around, we don't change the elevation too much, for the simple reason that the highest elevation on Earth is less than 10km. Moving 1g of matter 1km in the horizontal direction requires much, much less energy that 1km on the vertical.

Now food has some water content, the energy does not get converted with 100% efficiency, etc. But the idea that the energy used in transportation is anything close to the energy content of food is quite far fetched.

Let's put it differently: it's hard to lose weight. It's damn hard. Precisely because the energy content stored as chemical energy in our fat cells is so large compared to how much we burn by performing mechanical actions. For example, an average runner burns about 100 (kilo)calories per mile. Since one pound of fat has about 3500 kcal, you need to run about 35 miles to burn that. If you want to burn all the energy stored in all your body, you need to run more thousands of miles. And we humans, are very inefficient. We don't have wheels in particular.

Or, let's put it yet another way. One of the most inefficient ways to transport things around is by rocket. The planned Starship will have a launch mass of about 5000 tons and a payload of 100 tons in orbit. That's a ratio of 50:1. So, to take one gram of stuff from being stationary on Earth to moving at orbital speed (8km/s) perpetually in the sky it takes about 50g of propellant (fuel plus oxidizer). When we move things on Earth, we obviously can use the Oxygen that's all around us. Of the 50g of propellant, only about 11g are actual fuel, so you end up with a ratio of about 11:1 of fuel vs payload, using the most inefficient way of moving things around.
Brexit is equally an argument against giving up your national sovereignty to a coalition government.

Regardless of opinions, this plays out like a bad marriage and divorce. Joining the EU requires good will to get in, but there's no amicable way to leave. Why would anyone join now seeing these circumstances?

Once you're in, you're in for life. Ride or die. Might as well join a gang.
That's far from accurate. I think you may be falling prey to the notice-dislike bias: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor....

I post about that extremely often (sorry), but it's because it's so important. It's probably the single biggest factor causing problems here.

Having worked for a Fortune 50 company, I can say that management at all levels considered on-boarding to be of critical importance, and would preempt other normal business. It was very important to make sure the new hire had a place to sit, a phone, and a computer as soon as they arrived. Meeting your new manager (as scheduled) is extremely important to a new hire. If the manager doesn't show, it makes a bad first impression on the new employee.

All of that being said, I will now relate that I NEVER attended the new hire orientation meeting at that company. I was on business travel and I never rescheduled it. It did not seem to matter much for me though as I stayed there for most of my career (35 years).
Brooks has been my saddle on my bicycle trips across the world. It’s now sort of a fingerprint of my butt.
Nobody "worships the US dollar". If you think anyone does, you're in a serious ideological flytrap and should seriously reconsider who you're hanging out with.
Interesting, this could be applied in shipping/packaging industry as a sort of heuristic, even if knapsack problem is a more natural fit.

I'm already getting texts from random gullible marks I know telling me to "buy the dip". Always a good sign.
I don't think you know just how low latency WebRTC is.

CPU usage on the streaming PC does not increase latency unless the PC is severely under spec. CPU usage increases CPU usage. That's it. Encoding usually happens on a GPU, and scene composition happens on the CPU, which is either a zero-copy routine or a very fast memcpy.

My point is that from what you're saying, it seems clear to me that you are not aware of just how good WebRTC is at this kind of thing.
Not Brooks saddles, though. They are still made in the UK. However, cheaper immigrant labor has been used, albeit not Chinese. Brooks' own newsletter reveals that at least some current workers in this British firm with a hundred-year-old tradition are recently-arrived Poles.

One place where Brooks has really diminished its fine reputation is handlebar tape: Brooks leather handlebar tape is made in a Chinese factory with just the Brooks logo stamped on it, and it is nowhere near the quality of the famed saddles.
From a podcast I listened to, Michael Saylor does not have "future of money" in his investment thesis at all. He doesn't see this as currency. Instead, he sees bitcoin as something more like gold, but much easier to move around (and across borders), easier to audit, easier to liquidate, etc.

That this is not what was in the original bitcoin whitepaper doesn't seem to have stopped him.

NY, Florida tell hospitals to dispense Covid-19 vaccines quicker or lose supply
I never said NX is bad, but it is for "baby" graphs. NX can't scale past a few hundred thousand nodes.

I appreciate NX's place in the ecosystem, but its implementation leaves a large gap to be filled for an intermediate library that is a Pandas analogue for graphs.
That's not true. Downvoting for disagreement has been ok on HN from the beginning.

I realize people have strong feelings about it, but that's because of the psychological intensity of the mechanism. There's no way HN would survive without downvotes, despite the fact that not all downvotes are fair. It's a critical part of the immune system.

That would be a completely fair metric to publish, but it doesn't look like what Slack is publishing. Of course, it's possible that it is and it's just phrased somewhat poorly.

How are these numbers calculated? According to the linked Passmark page[0]:

> This graph showing AMD and Intel market share is made up of thousands of PerformanceTest benchmark results and is updated daily.

> This graph counts the baselines submitted to us during these time period and therefore is representative of CPUs in use rather than CPUs purchased.

Since this is a benchmarking site, enthusiasts are probably overrepresented. I'm positive that there are more Intel CPUs being used in desktops than AMD.

Element (formerly Riot/Vector), has improved loads over the years, and the default matrix.org average send time is around 100ms these days rather than multiple seconds: https://matrix.org/blog/2020/11/03/how-we-fixed-synapses-sca... has details. I suspect you (and the parent) may be running off stale data.

That said, Element could certainly use less RAM, irrespective of Electron - and http://hydrogen.element.io is our project to experiment with minimum-footprint Matrix clients (it uses ~100x less RAM than Element).
Well, realistically, one of the biggest ones will probably be Amazon, so, Foreign Middlemen.
Formaviva.com | Independent electronica & experimental music platform | 100% Remote

There are thousands of artists out there who choose to sacrifice commercial success in the search for something greater. Their mission is rather a personal quest to create music that is pure, stays true to their core values, and continues to push boundaries.

These are the artists who speak from the heart, inspire future generations, and refuse to conform to the profit-hungry mainstream. We believe the music they make is a true and authentic reflection of their inner state - pure artistry without compromise.

Discovering music like this enables us to explore our inner-self, expand our consciousness, and grow together within a vast and rich musical landscape. It is vital that we support these artists in the most simple and effective way; by purchasing their music and sharing their message with the world.

Formaviva enables undiscovered talents and musical experimentation that is inaccessible on mainstream music platforms. We believe in the ability of music that is emotionally driven, and we work towards supporting artists in their creative endeavors by enabling and creating tools for such music distribution and its monetization.

> There's a reason companies like Google suppress initiatives to form unions, and build strong zeitgeists within their employee base that unionization is bad. If unionization is so bad why do companies spend so much money breaking it up?

If something was bad, why would you take the existence of opposition to it as evidence of it being good?

Suppose unionization was bad for both employers and employees. You would certainly expect employers to oppose that. Even if it was totally neutral for employers and bad for employees, they would oppose unionization at their own company because it would make it more difficult for them to attract and retain quality employees.

Again, the claim I objected to is "transfer money[+] across political boundaries without censorship". That's what I'm objecting to. Yes - you can make a transfer of bitcoin/ it's very hard for the state to stop or reverse that transfer. But is that what we mean when we say "without censorship", really? We're getting into the joke territory here, this sounds very much like "USSR had freedom of speech, what it didn't have was freedom after speech".

[+] BTC is not money, but I'm going to let that slide for this part of the argument.
That's not what I said.

We're talking about why Brooks' logistics might be handled in Italy. Which they are.

Why do you think it might be cheaper to have their full inventory sent to a company in Italy and then have logistics handled there?
I've had my TV for nearly 10 years... and in that time I've "upgraded" my Roku 3 times to get more features, and then to get more performance.

Having the "smart" features decoupled from the screen itself has allowed me to keep my perfectly fine (to me) 1080p screen for all these years while still enjoying the latest-and-greatest "smart" features.
The EU doesn't allow negotiation on withdrawal until article 50 is invoked. There was no ability to negotiate any deal of any kind until the UK confirmed it was leaving.
Ask HN: Any WAF service that doesn't charge per number of domains?
We're a SaaS company where our users set a CNAME on their DNS to point to us so they can use their own domain for their links(for branding). There are a few hundred domains, but all point to the same IP and the total traffic is very low (below 10 GB/month).

Cloudflare is asking to buy their $5,000/month Enterprise plan, Stackpath quoted over $2,500/month, Fastly charges $20/domain, AppTrana charges for domains as well, Akamai is also super expensive.

Why everyone is charging per domains? Seems that don't care if there's no traffic on that domain or if the domain is pointed to the same origin.

Is there any WAF service not charging based on how many domains we have?
"Your car does not have a roll cage" No but the crash structures are one of the areas where we are absolutely trying to recreate the effect of a rollcage without the weight. The weight putting constraints on fuel efficiency is the big issue there.

For ECC, there's no reason to really expect that adding ECC to everything would really make things too expensive or slow long term. For a long time the reason why desktops did not have ECC was pretty much because intel wanted people who really need ECC to buy Xeons.

>I keep a TV on in the background, out of sight (usually the weather channel). I don't know why, but it makes the house feel less empty all day.

I think the world is split into people who really need a background soundtrack of some sort and those who hate it.

Back when I sometimes had a roommate on group (non-work) trips, one of the things that drove me craziest was someone who just had to turn on the TV as soon as they walked into a room.

The funny thing is that I'm pretty much fine with ambient people sound. I just don't like background TV and, for the most part, I don't even turn on music when I'm working.
