Ambassador Labs (formerly Datawire) | Software Engineer (mid-level to senior to principal), DevOps Engineer and DevRel (aka Developer Relations, Developer Advocacy, Evangelist) | REMOTE with preference in Montreal Canada, Boston MA, Portland OR | FULL-TIME

Ambassador Labs is a series B tech company solving problems for cloud native developers. We are looking to hire engineers to build software that enables application developers on kubernetes to code locally, secure microservices at the edge, and independently release services to end users.

We’re currently expanding the DevOps and Telepresence <https://www.getambassador.io/products/telepresence/> teams. Telepresence is an open source project that enables development teams to iterate rapidly on kubernetes microservices. You’ll work in Golang and Python and have experience working on low level systems development (comfortable fiddling with linux/windows configurations, VPNS, etc).

If the idea of empowering developers appeals to you, please send a resume, linkedin or github profile directly to colleendunlap@datawire.io.
The problem could also be solved by putting vlc itself in a sandbox. There is no reason a media player should have direct access to all of your files anyway. I wonder if the flatpak for vlc is set up with strong sandbox rules.
What you linked isn't talking about the entire site. It literally says that the signature page is secure. But they don't mention the entire site being secure. I wonder why...

Here it is 3.5 years ago being hosted over http and not redirecting to https. It looks like they changed in 2018.

> No, I don't think statistics can let you get away with this. Databases are concurrent, you can't guarantee that a different session will not insert a record that invalidates your current statistics.

Of course you can't make a guarantee like that, but why would you need to? Statistics are there to guide planner choices, not make cast iron predictions.
I bought this (a few years ago) at Wirecutter's recommendation and had a bad experience with it as well. Like the medium post, the humidifier didn't work for me. Eventually, I got rid of it.

Wirecutter simply isn't that reliable. I do check their recommendations as one input source, but their top recommendation is not reliable (and will change from time to time).
Last time I read the Wirecutter review, they only looked at the wick style of humidifier. The stated reason for this was the propensity for steam and ultrasonic humidifiers to over-humidify. It's entirely possible that the Honeywell is the easiest to clean and most quiet of this type of humidifier.

[edit] Direct quotes from the Wirecutter post (emphasis added by me):

> We recommend the Honeywell HCM-350 Germ Free Cool Mist Humidifier because it’s quieter, more durable, and easier to clean than any other evaporative humidifier we’ve tested, with a 1-gallon tank that will last all day.

> ...In general, we prefer evaporative humidifiers because we find them less messy and less likely to over-humidify a space; however, you will need to replace the wicking filter on a semi-regular basis, and the fans might not be the best option for people who have pets or particularly dusty homes. The best one for you will be whichever one you’re actually willing to deal with and maintain.
Anyone have insights into how Apple Arcade is doing? It seems to have a lot more games than Stadia, but the variety is limited and it's hard to see the compelling reason is to use it as opposed to simply getting games in the app store.
This might not be what is being reported (supposedly these sandbox errors are caused by something in VLC, not the exploit).

Reports are saying the state auditor and not ESD was at fault.
I'm not sure if I'm surprised or not. On one hand, it kind of fits my mental image of Google perfectly, I don't know why. On the other: doesn't Google have a shitload of money and doesn't Google burn it so often by starting hundreds of projects it just kills after a couple of years of development?
mTLS appears to work great between servers, but I’ve been unable to get my iPhone to authenticate with a web server via Safari using mTLS. Even after installing the cert, it never presents it.

I wish it were better supported though.
Ouch. Avoiding this sort of thing is supposed to be Accellion's core competency. If it really was a protocol or server flaw, more breach notifications could be coming.

They list some big clients on their website - Kaiser Permanente, KPMG, the NHS, etc.

> Prevent breaches and compliance violations with total visibility and control over IP, PII, PHI and all sensitive content exchanged with third parties

edit: The Reserve Bank of New Zealand and the Australian Securities and Investments Commission were also breached, news articles pin the blame on a SQL injection in Accellion's File Transfer Appliance (FTA)

The kind of people who want to work on vintage hardware usually want to work on vintage hardware that is either cheap or beloved or both. I think Itanium is neither.
Cool Mist humidifiers are just hard IMO.

1. Warm Mist humidifiers work by boiling water. This has the downside of... well... boiling hot water hanging around the area. But otherwise, these are the simplest and are only ~$20 or $30.

2. Cool Mist humidifiers try to get around the boiling water issue. Since they humidify at room-temperatures, they're a lot more efficient... but now bacteria / mold is growing constantly. You can somewhat fix that with chemicals / filters / whatever, but now those filters need to be cleaned, or those chemicals need to be replaced on the regular.

In both circumstances: minerals in the water will harden into 'slag'. More so in warm-mist humidifiers actually (because boiling water separates water from minerals very naturally). Cool-mist humidifiers often carry the slag into the air, forming "white dust" all over your furniture.

The slag dissolves with vinegar in ~20 minutes or so (unless its been building up for a while). But its never an easy job to clean.

I prefer my warm-mist humidifier. Centralize the slag into one spot and clean it with vinegar every few weeks. Better than dusting off all my furniture in the room.
OK, but...

was that the end of the discussion? Was there, you know, pushback like "we want 10 devices each of the two most popular sizes, and exclusivity for xxx months, and, and..."

Or did everything just fizzle out after "well, we'll lend you the unit I have in the back of my car?"
I count myself among the victims of this wirecutter article. What a piece of garbage, I can't believe I got tricked into buying a humidifier that requires wick and heating element replacements when modern devices don't.
How Recursion Works – The Easy Way
I agree, my other comment is getting downvoted. The "Reddit is buying silve" is the biggest and more coordinated market manipulation I have ever seen. I am blown away to see so many people pushing this insane lie to help the hedge funds.
In his analogy, the potato is only worth what is worth what people are willing to pay for it, and the farmer will obviously sell to the highest price first.

This is how stocks worth: its only worth as much as what someone is willing to pay for it (shorting not included).
The same as with anything else: when it becomes debilitating. Observe other problems that are similar:

* Everyone encounters back pain at some point. It's only an illness when acute or chronic.

* Most people have some desire for ordered patterns so lots of people will do things like avoid cracks in tiles because it is satisfying. Not a disorder until you absolutely must not step on a crack or it will cause you to need to go through some ritual.

To me this makes more sense in conjunction with hyperfocus.

I find it hard to focus on things unless I'm hyperfocused, partly because I'm distracted by the thing I'm hyperfocused on.

I also tend to always be hyperfocused on one thing at a time for a while and then switch over to a new thing.

Things that I may not like or want to do kind of melt away when I'm hyperfocused on something, and feel like they're amplified when I'm not.
For me it’s the Zettelkasten/smart notes app I’m working on. I’ve been a frustrated with how I take notes from books, videos, blog posts, etc. I want to build a zero-inbox style workflow around organising my notes consistently so that I can start to blog with a wealth of research and ideas at my fingertips. So I’ve started building Flowtelic.

Early (no signup/in browser storage) version is live at https://app.flowtelic.com.

A video showing how to use it is here:

When google tries to make a product that is new and could go either way, i forgive them for dropping it. You have to make mistakes and some products just don't work. But stadia is different. You could see it was never going to work, the infrastructure is just too wonky. I don't respect them for taking on a project they knew they couldn't do, or for deluding themselves into thinking they could.
Were you watching this video by any chance? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7apO7q16V0 ("The Fast Fourier Transform (FFT): Most Ingenious Algorithm Ever?" by Reducible)
I typically have good experiences as well, but sometimes I know of an alternative that's very popular - when I go to check the "Competition" section it's almost always missing.
Snowflake and Bigquery will bite you in the ass later on. You can do 80% of the things you will need - which is great for some newbie stuff or for sales presentations. Once you need something complicated, you're on your own, while being stuck in a proprietary environment that you cannot extend.

You will have to develop some kind of data lake to store unstructured data anyway. You will end up with a Snowflake data warehouse and a data lake. Why not just go with data lake first then.

Databricks/Spark are just good platforms to help you do something with structured data in your lake. With the recent additions to its execution engine and Delta (strange naming tbh) it will be pretty much the same as Snowflake for you.
I got excellent performance in Databricks with well partitioned Parquet and Spark 2.4. What is making the queries slow? Data scanning?
If you're in university, then you're probably in a place that has resources that can help. Take advantage of them. For example, you may have access to an occupational therapist who can help you improve how you organize and schedule your work, create effective workplace, avoid distractions, etc. Medication may also help, but it works best in conjunction with active behavioral changes.

Thanks, from that same article proof that the Google Graveyard is hurting Google...

>This concern — that Google might just give up on Stadia at some point and kill the service, as it has done with so many other services over the years — was repeatedly brought up, unprompted, by every person we spoke with for this piece.
How do you handle your Aging in IT?
I've noticed in the last couple of years, the mind's a little slower, the flame isn't quite as bright, the desire to learn YetAnotherProduct isn't there. When I was younger, I remembered the grey haired hackers that were a little abrasive, knew their stuff and didn't take crap from their employer...and that's starting to resonate with me.

And I'm really not sure I have a forum of people I can talk to about it. It's not something you want to volunteer at work, and it's not something someone who isn't in IT might fully understand.

There's a little anxiety in that I've still got a decade or so before retirement and am afraid of being left behind....but when you learn your 7th SIEM, they all kinda look the same after awhile, and most of the administration is getting sewn up behind the scenes in the cloud.

OR should I just suck it up?
Speaking as someone whose spent the last 18 months building out Tekton pipelines, I can confidently disagree that it’s architecture (or general ethos) is built around CI/CD. The docs might allude to a lot of CI/CD use cases but the framework is very general in that you have the building blocks for any event driven workflow: Tasks, Pipelines and Events.
At the root of cancellation is the freedom of association. If you lived in a rural town and you are hated, what is outcome? What is the government to do?

I think no matter where you move, whether to Taiwan or Japan, there is a natural burden for you to understand what community affection means. Or not.
I'd rather run the risk of cyber warfare attacks than letting the Government turn off access to the global Internet at will.
Wasn't that sort of the point of alphabet? To put these into their own self sustaining "divisions" so they could be spun out easily or at a high level choose to fund them?
Enabling that for in-browser/mobile spectators without needing to install the game wouldn't be exactly trivial, though.
I'm dumbfounded at Google's lack of planning on this. I tried Stadia, and they had (have?) so few games that they seem to have neither search nor pagination on the list that you can play. None of the games are ones that I care about.

It feels like they could have—at the cost of short-term profit and pride—partnered with Valve and shipped something mind-blowing. But instead we're left with a bunch of AAA games that feel half-baked (Hitman crashes on first boot and complains about a lack of a controller) and a bunch of indie games that feel like a sad attempt to squeeze a few extra bucks out of a middling title (the Hello Neighbor hide and seek game) and titles released half a decade ago (superhot).

Minecraft is on every console imaginable—except Stadia. What about Roblox? Fortnite? Factorio? Among Us? Any Sid Meier's game? Any Paradox game? Every genre of game that I actually put time into is completely absent on their platform. Every game from the top 10 (perhaps 20 or more?) on Twitch right now is absent on Stadia. I don't know what they're doing, but whatever it is, it's wrong.
I've tried that, getting 404, any URL?
That's a good point. So more precisely, at any instant your current risk is capped. I think that's more important, since it defines your worst case outcome. You could keep buying new cars, and after the 20th one is stolen go bankrupt, but you probably wouldn't do that if you can't afford it, so bankruptcy isn't a possible outcome.

The capped instantaneous risk lets you go for the option with highest expected value without having some chance you'll get instantly bankrupted.

Because Chromecast is not done for push, but for pull. And because noone cares enough to fix it, I would guess...
There are ultrasonic humidifiers, at the same price point, that have humidity meters built in so they don't over humidify. It's completely dishonest for wirecutter to claim that the entire category over-humidifies. It's just not true.
FIRE is a lifestyle and in my view the main goal of it is effectivity. Retiring for the sake of retiring does not make one automatically happy. Instead you should understand what makes you happier and optimize for it. As a result, FIRE does not mean "don't spend money", instead it is "don't spend money on stuff you don't care about". Thus, I disagree with commenters framing FIRE as "living in poverty to live in poverty without a job". One can be FIRE (or on track to) and still live a great life spending enough money to be happy.

That's why I think your question is a bit backward. Instead of wanting to reach FIRE in 10 years, try to understand why you want it. FIRE is just a tool giving you ~40 additional hours per week. Why do you want this time? If one is unhappy with their life before FIRE, they will just have 40 more hours to be unhappy.
I once heard someone say that Software Engineering as a field today is about where Chemistry was 300 years ago: it's just alchemy. Nobody actually knows how it works or what is or isn't best. Some people have tried some stuff out and formed different theories around their anecdotal experiences. Some of those theories sometimes translate to other cases; some of them are completely bonkers. There's no real way to tell one from the other, because there's no concrete shared reality. So instead people argue a lot and the best rhetorician usually wins.
I'll add that the first doctor I went to see about my issues made it clear that he was willing to prescribe me stimulants without a strong diagnosis, which frankly disturbed me greatly.

I had to make it clear I was interested in pursuing a proper diagnosis, and that I wasn't just looking for some help to "cram" for a test or something, which apparently would have been good enough for a prescription.

Getting a proper diagnosis is a royal pain in the ass, but worth it. You shouldn't be screwing around with these drugs for fun.
CICS is a TP monitor, and there were mini-computer and unix implementations of such systems, including Encina, which IBM bought and became CICS for RISC.

I worked on a TP monitor for VAX/VMS from 1982-1988, which had many of the features of CICS on Mainframes.

In 1995, I started a company called WebLogic, and wrote the first Java app server. Many of the features and techniques made their way into the WebLogic app server.

The rest is history.
I am not diagnosed with ADHD. I do however have 400 tabs open in Firefox and about 30 in Edge.
cmd is rewritten. Most of DOS was in assembly language. Most of NT is not. At one point cmd maybe contained some straightforward translation to C of some pieces of assembly, but I'm not sure (I'm sure it was a mess though; it may have been cleaned up a little now)

But cmd is surely quite compatible with command.com. With more capabilities, but still very compatible. And a deceivingly close user interface.
The problem is, the is basically no one left who doesn't fit your definition of elite.

Who do you know who's never used a credit card, a car/student loan, a mortgage? Do they also not have a pension or a job at a publicly traded company? Have they never bought insurance or opened a bank account.

What most people don't get is that they rely on financial markets 100 times a day. That's why when markets wobble there is a shit storm. That's why they get bailed out.

I'd like a more equal distribution of wealth. I'd prefer that doctors and teachers got paid more rather than traders. But ultimately there are very good reasons things are the way they are.

You can say Fuck them all, but then we'll have to go back to living like people in the second world.

This is WHY ordinary people need to understand things like finance (or trade or geopolitics). They watch the TV, they see something they don't like, and instead of understanding its a least bad outcome (eg 2008) or that their behaviour in part caused it (eg 2008) they just write it off as a conspiracy.

If they're lucky it ends there. If not, some liar comes along and capitalises on their belief (eg trump) promising to "bring back out jobs" "drain the swamp" "make the elite pay" etc. Since he's a liar only peddling convient but untrue stories, he won't deliver. Which is disappointing but actually better than if he did.

I... know about someone who did exactly this (minus selling IP back to AMZN).
I built a win7 HTPC about 6 or 7 years ago after not having used windows in AGES, and it blew my mind how awful it was finding codecs. Learning to avoid spyware and viruses really does require practice, and when you haven't spent the past decade visiting sketchy download sites, you really lose an eye for what's what.

I still recoil at the thought of being told "no, that's a container, not a codec!"

TBH, I'm still surprised at how awful some video stuff is. I've actually had about 5 false starts trying to make Plex work, and I'm trying it again (yeah, I never learn). Now the codecs and transcoding and stuff works on modern hardware, but it simply refuses to index content that you don't rename to please the master. It's absolutely insane. Software designed to make your life harder, not easier. There's a reason I just point Kodi to a NAS share. (speaking of awful configs.... but at least it plays!)
Okay, I'm flying over there after COVID.
