Atomic is growing a diverse and inclusive team of curious, creative people who love creating great software for our clients.

JOB OVERVIEW
Atomic is looking for a maker of leaders. As a Principal Consultant at Atomic, you will be a resource for technical leads, both new and old. You’ll show experienced developers what it means to live out Atomic’s Values as a professional and help new technical leads navigate their first projects as leaders.

You’ll also solve the thorniest technical problems on Atomic’s work for clients. You'll participate in the entire product development lifecycle: upfront technical discussions with clients, subsequent research and planning engagements, and software development on concurrent projects.

Atomic lives by its teach and learn mantra. The Principal Consultant and Developer lives out this value by mentoring a new generation of developers as they leave our Accelerator program. The Accelerator will aid them in becoming software engineers & consultants. You will help them become technical leaders.

WHY ATOMIC?
Since 2001, Atomic Object has designed and developed software products for web, mobile, desktop, IoT, and connected devices. We were founded on the belief that not all software is created equal. Many people can write code, but it takes a close-knit team of passionate people to create exceptional, innovative products that change the way people do business.

We’re an employee-owned company and a certified B Corporation with 70+ Atoms based in our Ann Arbor and Grand Rapids offices. Unlike many other technology companies, we have a flat organization. There is no corporate ladder to climb. As a company that values transparency, we practice open-books management. At Atomic, you can stay close to the craft of making software for your entire career without missing out on owning a part of the company and its profits.

How on earth do you do on-orbit refueling? I've never heard of that outside of science fiction.
I agree. If companies just treat employees well and provide a good working environment the employees will be happy and work hard and feel good about their co-workers.

I think there's an emphasis on forcing the employees to do things rather than creating the evironment where employees do it naturally.

From 2005 until 2015 I ran my own development company. Since 2015 I’ve been using that experience to help companies and development teams take ‘the next step’. The next step in delivering higher quality products, the next step in gaining higher developer velocity and the next step in being a more predictable in planning and outcome.

I strongly believe the following factors help in taking this next step: 1. Never compromise in code quality. 2. Standardize as much as possible (to prevent reinventing the wheel and focus on adding value) 3. Automate everything 4. Create a safe to fail environment.
It is, but with a syntax that most people find less odd, and a couple of very compelling features, like..the ability to leverage more than one core, active patterns, and type providers.
I agree with you!

I also find that team building can be stressful depending on how your work is fluctuating. If it’s under a heavy load, then it feels frustratingly like a waste of time when you could be getting things done. While I think team building is important, I think it’s so hard to get right. Frankly, the best teams I’ve worked in are ones where everyone had a similar work ethic.
Key info missing from your comment:

> Men and women aged 50-79 years were recruited from population registers in 31 European centers.

They followed older people for 3 years. It is well-known that menopause causes osteoporosis, which makes women more at risk of bone fractures in older age. And in fact this is a study on osteoporosis...
What about all the cascading costs to run all non-crypto financial systems? Not just data centers, but everything related like infrastructure, real estate, credit card readers, point of sale systems, office furniture, salaries, etc... The list goes on and on. If crypto was used globally, much of these costs and energy waste would disappear.

Also, some currencies like Ethereum are moving to proof of stake, which requires less energy.
Hoping that Chrome 89 shipping performance.measureUserAgentSpecificMemory() feature[1] will help at least some of the developers start to align & consider their impact better.

I wouldn't hope for fast change, but over time, having the ability to measure our memory impact will hopefully start to emerge better best practices & core techniques/frameworks that are more memory conscious.

If you like this sort of thing, I also recommend Churchill's My Early Life (1930) that illustrates the same contrast described by Zweig but from a different perspective
You added this after the fact. The only scam is this poorly researched blog entry.
Google should open source Chromium
Does anyone have a link to the actual paper cited? There's nothing in the article indicating a title or link.
The event which persuaded me that open source software was the pragmatic choice happened in 1999 (though it took a few years afterwards for me to articulate my advocacy in those terms). That's when the Gibson Guitars, having acquired Opcode Systems previously, abandoned development on Opcode's flagship sequencer application, Studio Vision — leaving its users high and dry.

Many music users today are locked into proprietary applications analogous to Studio Vision and their proprietary formats. If the company goes under, or if management decides to kill the product, there goes all your work.

Theoretically proprietary software can support open file formats — but there are such strong incentives for companies to leverage network effects and lock in users that at any moment you are one upgrade away from a policy change and silent conversion of your document to a proprietary format.
Only FOSS guarantees that your documents will survive the tumult of capitalism.

Two decades later, history has repeated itself, with Flash, Macromedia, and Adobe in the roles previously played by Studio Vision, Opcode, and Gibson...

The usual course of action is flat sharing. Rent is then a bit more reasonable. In London you could find rooms from a few hundred quid pcm, then depending on location the sky is the limit. That was the most expensive city in Europe, pre-Brexit.
I couldn't agree more about curiosity mode (I'm going to use that phrase liberally). Despite reading papers for many years, I rarely go in cold. I browse blog posts and twitter, ask myself a series of questions, then try to find/read papers to answer them. Of course this only leads to more questions, and so the journey continues.

I also agree with the recommendations for "Designing Data-Intensive Applications" and "Database Internals". Though, having read the latter for a book club at $employer, I felt it served better as a sort of "index for the space" for people who already had some DB experience, rather a true introduction.
JCL was not exactly fun to write, but M4 gives it a run for its money.

But not so sci-fi.
I've never seen a compelling explanation of how this is supposed to work. Do people self-host their pods? Is the pod one more thing to sign up with an external provider?

If I'm self-hosting my pod anyway, then wouldn't I want my self-hosting to include the (for example) photo-library viewing layer instead of giving google photos or flickr access to the photos in my pod? If I did give them access, then how is it more private than if they hosted it themselves? Maybe the pitch is more about mobility of services and avoiding lock-in than it is about privacy and security, but that doesn't seem to be the message I get. Does anyone have any pro-solid blog posts or articles you think might be helpful in convincing me? It smells like it is well aligned with my values but I just can't see how it will actually work.
Great fun to play!
I played for a bit on phone. One thing I found hard to do was rotating pieces. Not sure how you would make it easy. May be on double-tap/double-click
Gemini appeals to the 'console-only' aesthetic, I won't bet on it replacing
the everyday web, but it can be used to construct an alternative 'Internet for the terminal'-type experience: lightweight news, libraries, etc accessed from shell scripts(which is plain text vs web scripts that strip html cruft to get real content).
The only thing i dislike is the poor choice of the name, which clashes with millions of sites about horoscopes.
> We want to be the type of person that helps someone. But saying yes carries a cost. One that’s often paid in the days, weeks, or even years in the future. What starts as a single meeting becomes a weekly one...

There's a delicate balance here, because saying "no" often carries a cost too, it's just less visible than the cost of saying "yes." Saying "no" too often can mean missing opportunities for relationships, projects, promotions, vacations, etc. But since we never see those things, it's easy to think saying "no" was free.
So with SpaCy 3.0, HuggingFace, do we still have a reason to use NLTK? Or they complement each other? Right now, I lost track of the progress in NLP.
> REINDEX INDEX CONCURRENTLY index_name;

> If for some reason you had to stop the rebuild in the middle, the new index will not be dropped. Instead, it will be left in an invalid state and consume space.

Well, that sure sounds like a bug in PostreSQL to me.
100p! Human rights issues is an area where we think higher resolution will be super helpful, and we are planning to make our archive data freely available for these types of applications as well as large discounts on tasking.
Man I wish they could be compensated remotely in proportion to that. Matthew Honnibal and team are wizards who have been working really hard for a really long time.

Maybe there's a comp strategy i don't know about - but they've created SO much value for the world.
It will probably work itself out in the long term though and people will return to nominal levels of risk tolerance.

E.g. China has reopened wet markets even though we now know it is hugely dangerous to the world. Sigh
I would say that it's already too late. Way too late. And if the US won't stop it's infighting soon enough pretty soon there will be only one super power left.
or removing their best features. You used to be able to long press on a song and it would play the hook of the song. It was a great way to get the general feel of a playlist. They randomly removed it 3 or 4 years ago because supposedly no one used it
Memgraph DB 1.3 release brings high availability replication (HA)
Can POE provide enough power to turn SATA drives? I kind of figured for a NAS it probably makes sense to go with a regular power supply, especially since it’ll be mounted in an easy to access location for drive replacement.
To me the issue is blurring the lines between work and not work.

Companies are not your buddies. They are not your friends. We make a deal. You pay me. I return value. That’s it. It doesn’t have to be more complicated than that.

You’re not family. You won’t be there when things go south. You will not hesitate to fire, if it’s in your interest.

Don't sugarcoat the relationship.

That's more China's great firewall's fault than the indie game's fault. Also try more strategy/turnbased games than fps if the lag is an issue.

Ok lawyer. That is immaterial and off topic.

Apple doesn’t know these are scam apps until reported, and after Apple can verify the allegations. And then Apple typically refunds all customers.

There's a difference between being exposed to dirt and being exposed to viral diseases, though. Playing outside in the leaves will likely trigger healthy immune responses. Contracting COVID-19 may lead to long term health issues.
I specifically responded to the "niche within a niche" comment, which I interpreted as referring to multi-lingual documentments as a niche within the niche of "accessibility" in general.

"Wet markets" are just farmers' markets.
A more natural way would be to arrange for people to work together in smaller groups on tasks as part of the normal work. If you provide this then I agree with the parent poster if there is a social interaction to be had it will come. If not that's OK as long as we can work together in reasonable harmony. I value professionalism, if I can make a friend through work that is great but it should not be the norm that we all have to be friends to get along.

I don’t know the specifics of Appkes refund policies, specifically how far back they go in cases like this. But I can say Apple isn’t worried about taking a loss to ensure their customers get treated fairly.
> I'm firmly of the belief that if there is genuine social interaction to be had, it will be had for the most part.

I'd agree with you any day except the current ones. Given recent events, do you not Counter Strike Fridays might bring some much needed social interaction? Yes, making them mandatory would be stupid, but what company makes socializing events mandatory?
If you are serious about reliability you always need infrastructure experts.

AWS is pretty good about documenting the limits of their systems, SLAs, how to configure them, etc. They don't just say you should wave a magic wand -- and even if they did say that, professional software engineers know better.

"a hosting provider that allows allocation of resources via API" is exactly what AWS is. Your infrastructure experts come into the picture because they need to know which resources to request, how to estimate the scale they need, and how to configure them properly. They should also be doing performance testing to see if the claimed performance really holds up.
Yeah why don’t these people just stay home and starve. Sigh
And while they were apparently counting fractures that had healed, I assume that's an imperfect exercise for relatively minor, clean fractures from many years prior.

I assume a pretty good portion of today's population gets a fracture on a limb at some point in their lives.

Eh, there aren’t live animals available for slaughter on the spot at any of the hundreds of farmer’s market I’ve been to in the US Midwest.
I meant this as "No GPU cyrpto mining bubble as no gpu mining takes place". Bitcoin and Litecoin are not mined with GPUs anymore.

I was under the impression that no one bought GPUs for mining anymore in general, as it's a waste of money compared to specialized hardware. During the last crypto bubble I noticed a lot of regular people building mining PCs, this time I noticed nothing of that sort. However, https://www.notebookcheck.net/New-financial-analysis-suggest... suggests I might have been wrong about that.

I didn't share this post on HN. I just wrote the article to summarize the ongoing story for my readers.

This is a developing issue with new facts and explanations coming out every day.

For what it's worth, I am trying to explain the facts in this case. A new section has been added:

> Clearing Houses & the Plumbing Behind Financial Markets

> To be clear, there isn’t any hard evidence that Citadel directly influenced Robinhood’s decision to prevent users from purchasing GME shares. The CEO of Robinhood has denied any connection whatsoever. Instead, the decision has been attributed to clearing house requirements and “market settlement mechanics”.

> This claim by Robinhood does appear to be valid. The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) — a “clearing house” where shares are exchanged between buyers and sellers — is a core part of modern financial architecture, which serves to reduce risk to the system if one broker were to go bust. The DTCC requires members to post collateral. As trading volume and volatility grows, the collateral requirements also increase.

> However, it looks like the DTCC increased margin requirements on GME stock on Thursday — which forced Robinhood to post more collateral — which drove Robinhood’s decision to prevent users from buying more GME shares.

> This adds another piece to the puzzle.

> We need more clarity on: Why did the DTCC make its decision? Was that decision properly communicated to the market, or did some firms get early access to the info? What conflicts of interest do they have? Was the DTCC lobbied by other Wall Street players to make that change on Thursday?
Distributed Hash Tables
The “This is a reinforcement learning problem” section is very unconvincing. It presupposes that approaching the problem like a game or “capture the flag” is good or somehow better than supervised learning based on attributes that are known to correlate quite strongly to user preferences.

Given the very widespread complaints about this type of recommender system - eg modern YouTube and FB Newsfeed rankings are widely panned as reinforcing biases, optimizing for pure engagement which leads to reinforcing outrage, both by ML experts and general users who don’t like the experience & feel it is manipulative, what is your take on how we can steer the conversation in the other direction - that this is NOT a reinforcement learning problem, and that we shouldn’t reward people looking to pad their ML resume with solutions in search of a problem that facilitate their ability to brag about scale & complexity over a solution that very demonstrably serves users poorly?
