Luminos Labs | Mid-level C# .NET Developer | ONSITE w/ WFH available | Milwaukee, WI, USA

We're a small-ish global company with offices in Milwaukee, LA, and Romania (where our founder was from before he moved to LA). We focus on building ecommerce websites and helping our clients with full digital transformation.

This role will start out learning the ropes by assisting our solution architects, but the goal is to have this role be promoted up to a Tech Lead running projects on their own. The ideal candidate here has a few years of .NET experience but isn't quite ready to be leading full projects by themselves. We'll help get you to that point!

Lot of great benefits (Over 4 weeks PTO being a particular highlight), and while we have core hours you need to be online we've always been pretty flexible on WFH. Right now offices are open but it's not required to come into the office with the pandemic. I probably haven't been in since before Thanksgiving, though I'm hoping we're able to start getting everyone back together this summer.

The job is listed by our controller but applications come to me so feel free to reach out with any questions, email is in the "About" section of my HN profile.

> profoundly broken

Well, it's different than they way it was when I grew up, but I don't know if kids living with their parents necessarily indicates a "broken" society: humans more or less lived that way for millenia successfully until around the time of the industrial revolution.
Oh, I see. Yeah, well my understanding of this is Earth as a self-balancing system:

The Sun gets brighter over time. Plants (over tens of thousands of years) absorb enough CO2 to keep the temperature from rising too much. But eventually the Sun is so bright that in order to keep the temperature in the right range, plants would have to absorb so much CO2 that there wouldn’t be enough for effective photosynthesis so that eventually in the future this negative feedback mechanism would no longer be able to compensate for the increased brightness of the Sun and so the temperatures would rise, perhaps eventually killing off enough plants to allow CO2 to start to be released and then you get runaway greenhouse effect like Venus.

That is all ignoring humans, of course.

EDIT: actually, it may make more sense to see the feedback coming from the other side of the temperature range: plants will keep absorbing as much CO2 as they can until temperatures drop (think ice ages) and photosynthesis slows. Volcanic emissions (and also occasional natural emissions of fossil carbon) keep a certain amount of CO2 being added which is then kept in equilibrium by plants. As the Sun warms, it takes a lower and lower amount of CO2 to get to ice ages that slow photosynthesis. The Sun over the ages increases in brightness until eventually CO2 levels can’t drop any more without slowing photosynthesis to a stop, so you stop getting ice ages and then eventually the temperatures get so high that photosynthesis is limited by die-off from high temperatures, removing the negative feedback mechanism of photosynthesis and you get runaway greenhouse effect.

That’s why pre-industrial CO2 levels were so low. Primates developed and later intelligent humans developed during the last few million and few hundred thousand years, when CO2 levels have been at their lowest levels ever in our planet’s history (and it shows that we evolved under low CO2 conditions, since human mental processing becomes somewhat less effective at even moderate CO2 levels like 800-1000ppm). Plants (unlike human brains) actually like higher CO2 levels and so they do function as an effective negative feedback mechanism as long you don’t outrun their photosynthesis capability and as long as you don’t kill them off with higher temperatures.
I also have Pipewire running on NixOS. This is what I recommend configuring:

services.pipewire = {
enable = true;
alsa.enable = true;
alsa.support32Bit = true;
jack.enable = true;
pulse.enable = true;
socketActivation = true;
};

That allows me to run pretty much any application that uses ALSA, JACK, or PulseAudio.

Forget advertising. I was recently passed up for employment because I don't use Whatsapp.

If you want to exchange your store of value for something in the future, it matters very much what its value is at the exact time you want to trade it.

Unless you mean that the volatility doesn't matter if the asset appreciates so much that the volatility becomes irrelevant, but that's not a property of a store of value, that's a property of a speculative gamble.
Well, no, not really. The standard definition of the reals is as the unique nontrivial totally-ordered, Dedekind-complete, Archimedean field up to isomorphism.
So what you would really need is a uniqueness proof, with addition and multiplications "provided" by the hypothesis.

To properly test, you'd need to:

1. Draw a triangle on your forehead

2. Make a shitty clone of yourself with a circle drawn on the clone's forehead, who comes out of the shop immediately after you walk in

Then see if your dog decides to follow the shitty clone, or whether it waits a couple minutes for the regular version of you.

Edit: also, repeat with many more dogs, many more dog owners, and many more shitty clones.
The idea that casual sex serves as some sort of formative process sounds ridiculous. In my mind, sex serves an important role in pair bonding, and casual sex would then inhibit the ability of people to pair bond.
Right. The whole point is you said they got rid of it, but they didn't. It was still in effect and causing problems in your situation.

Your proposed solution is now to get rid of rent control, which is what they had supposedly already done. But I agree. Seems like (actually) getting rid of rent control would have been a good move.

> Customer needs should be driving what gets added.

In enterprise, the "customer" is going to be someone who will almost never touch the product once they've signed off on it. Building something that's a pleasure to use (good UI, responsive etc) for the end-user is usually wayyyy low on their list of priorities.
Many comments are ignoring the most important aspect. The decline is almost all among men not women:

>Using a slightly different age range and time frame, Ueda et al. (2020) found that the percentage of sexually inactive men ages 18 to 24 increased from 18.9 percent in 2000–2002 to 30.9 percent in 2016–2018, and the percentage of sexually inactive young women increased from 15.1 percent to 19.1 percent over the same period.

The big increase is sexually inactive men and that is because women can more easily find highly attractive men on Tinder and other apps. The bottom of the male market has just fallen out completely. At least when you had to go to a bar as an unattractive guy, you could be the only one available or could woo women through other qualities. Now it’s 6 feet tall and fit with a good face or you get swiped left. And the high status men are more than happy to sleep with multiple women in a single week.
Gen X is people born between '65 and '80. You're saying that 78% of people, presumably in the US, who are currently between 41 and 56 are living with their parents?
biweekly versus fortnitely is really a battle royale!
I mean, the dog gets nothing for sitting and waiting. He stopped getting treats once training was over. So is he smarter than the kid that wonders off or comes inside demanding cake and acting cute?
I think it's even worse than that. I hate this test because both now and as a kid I'd take the single marshmallow and just be done. I don't want two, even if you hand them to me back-to-back... let alone 15 minutes later.

I don't care if its my favorite treat either. I believed quite strongly that a little vs a lot doesn't matter: the best parts are in the anticipation, the initial bite, and enjoying the lingering aftertaste. Having more more bites to eat is a gimmick with nothing but downsides (however now I get how things like addiction can drastically alter that equation so the "more" is practically everything).

So show me a version of this test that doesn't have the assumption "all kids are greedy for food and the most successful ones will optimize for that" at its core.
> the growing percentage who coreside with their parents all contribute significantly to the decline in casual sex

You would have to dig into the paper to find out what exactly that means.

It might be that society is changing as a whole, and that individual variations of internet use don't contain any relevant information.

It's the nature of abstraction: just like a map versus a satellite photo, it allows us to more easily highlight particular features. It also allows for options like cutaways and x-ray style images, and allows us to compose scenes how we like without the hassle of setting up physical shots.

The real earning power of minimum wage (aka, the standard teenage job) has declined by, what, 70% since the 70s? If it's more expensive, in real terms, to have a car, to rent a hotel room, to go out, then yes, it's going to be more difficult to get laid.
Do you have a source for that 78% number? GenX is old. A genXer "living at home" seems to me to be more likely "genXers are taking care of their elderly parents (boomers)".
Who's "they"?
I think the issue is where you draw the line between inputs and outputs. If you are judging being in the advanced class the outcome; then you are right to look at biological and social/cultural differences. But when you look at the wealth prospects of these kids beyond 5th and 6th grade, you see that an African-American with a college education has as much wealth as a "white" high school dropout. There has to be more going on here than just biologies and bell-curves.

You also have to ask, statistically, who is educating the children? Mainly white women. Who does the worst in school? Black boys. The 2 groups with the least amount of things in common. Being able to effectively communicate with someone who doesn't come from your culture seems to be important when it comes to education, right? You click on the article and you are looking at a big picture of a white lady. I didn't have a single male teacher (besides for gym) until my sophomore year (I think AP Trigonometry?). At the very least, we need a 50/50 mix of male and female teachers.

Trust me, though. I don't agree with them getting rid of gifted programs. I don't think you can deal with racism with feel good platitudes and policies. The issue is the wealth gap; that's it. If African-Americans had similar wealth prospects as other groups besides latinos, most of these issues would disappear. African Americans built the country and weren't paid for any of it. We are talking about a group who has been financially shackled for hundreds of years via federal laws; and now we are living in a hyper-capitalistic society. How can you "move out" the hood without money? Heck, can blacks from the hood even get jobs picking fruit on farms like "illegal" workers. Fighting racism against blacks is about a debt that is owed and has never been paid; not about reliving Jim Crow or throwing racists in jail or making white people feel bad about themselves. You can't legislate a man's heart (1st amendment and all).

Hi, yes the frontend technology is react-native such is a mobile app framework and dynamic height based on length of quotes and number of quotes etc. Unfortunately that would mean losing some functionality like keyboard shortcuts etc.,

I’ll need to research if there’s a workaround for that.
If the US introduced "proper workers rights and labor laws" today Amazon would probably be fine. In fact they might even be better off long term since it would greatly increase barriers to entry for any future competition.

The interesting (and unanswerable) question is what Amazon would look like today is those hypothetical "proper workers rights and labor laws" had been in place 20 years ago.
Actually, sorry I picked up that number from the internet it's a USDA figure of the equivalent amount of burgers for all the meat consumed in the US (50 Billion) but is quoted by every bad website and news outlet as the number of burgers sold.
Indeed. It also glitches like hell in case of any system load.

I am going to push back on this one super hard.

yes you should take STD's seriously but to use STD's as your reasoning for not having Casual Sex is the opposite of how you should be handling this.

What we need is proper education about protection, risks, and just sex in general not making people afraid of sex!

You could just as easily get an STD from the first time you have sex after a date as you could with Casual Sex.
78% of GenX? Yeah, gonna need a citation on that one.

Actually, since GenX was probably the last generation where wide-scale home ownership was within reach I can see that fact being true if the home in question is the one they own.

Not defending the article, but how would you compute:
\pi*\pi using repeated addition?
I don't think this hypothesis holds water. Individuals motivated to copulate might initially perceive an abundance of choice, but it would be quickly self-correcting as hookups don't materialize.

The falling alcohol consumption seems much more plausible in my opinion.
"Disrupting" a space too often means creating a shitty, tokenized, empty version of it that's so easy it replaces the more difficult and nuanced real thing.

I can't imagine a better world where sex is a pornhub search and socialization is a gaming PC - but it looks like that's the path we're on.
That partly depends on your thoughts on the validity of the paradox of choice.
The nicest formal definition of multiplication is "the operation that distributes over addition". When defining operations on abelian groups that might be called "multiplication", it's the distributive property that makes the term useful, and brings us into the categories of ring, semiring, [weird math prefix here]-ring, etc.

But the thing is: repeated addition does distribute over addition! So there is really a very natural extension from "multiplication is repeated addition" to "multiplication is any operation that preserves the nicest property of repeated addition, which is distribution".

I hasten to add that as a GTA I have had untold numbers of students who apparently did not learn the distributive property correctly -- likewise, the biggest difficulty my students seem to have with dimensional analysis in practice is that they have trouble dividing fractions symbolically. Also, substitution (replacing an expression with a letter) continues to trip students up: e.g. when pointing out that, say, newtons per coulomb is the same as volts per meter. (Students are no doubt tired of hearing me yak about how math expressions are a form of communication...)

Sometimes, I do think we need to teach students to "manipulate expressions" rather than just "solve problems", but then again, don't we do that already?
Imaginary numbers are 1d. complex are 2d.
While I agree that there are many parts of our society that are broken, I don’t think that living with parents (or grandparents) is part of that. If anything, I think the constant pressure to be fully independent by the time you’re in your early 20s is the indicator. In much of the world, it’s very common and even encouraged to live with previous generations, sometimes after marriage. There are a ton of benefits from this arrangement, including built-in care for younger and older folks, better ability to save, etc. I’ve seen more and more successful tech folks building multi-generation homes here in America to try to move towards this model for the future. I think the brokenness of the system is the degree to which we shame people that are diverging from the older American model.
It’s extremely telling that you don’t bother to consider this from a woman’s POV, as though sex is some sort of fungible good to be distributed amongst men rather than something that results from two or more people expressing their agency.

This is a deeply toxic set of assumptions that has its roots in the deeply misogynistic Incel culture.
No, it's not. It depends a bit on your teachers but also on which "level" of math you're in (in the US). Lower level but still algebra/geometry classes tend to teach facts, not derivations from foundational concepts. Those are the classes aimed at non-Honors and maybe non-College Prep students (2 of the 3 typical "tracks" students end up in the US, names may vary by state and decade).
That's tor.

Mozilla's disagreement about those APIs is primarily about security, not privacy. For example, here on WebUSB: "Because many USB devices are not designed to handle potentially-malicious interactions over the USB protocols and because those devices can have significant effects on the computer they're connected to, we believe that the security risks of exposing USB devices to the Web are too broad to risk exposing users to them or to explain properly to end users to obtain meaningful informed consent. It also poses risks that sites could use USB device identity or data stored on USB devices as tracking identifiers."

Similarly, for Web Bluetooth: "This API provides access to the Generic Attribute Profile (GATT) of Bluetooth, which is not the lowest level of access that the specifications allow, but its generic nature makes it impossible to clearly evaluate. Like WebUSB there is significant uncertainty regarding how well prepared devices are to receive requests from arbitrary sites. The generic nature of the API means that this risk is difficult to manage. The Web Bluetooth CG has opted to only rely on user consent, which we believe is not sufficient protection. This proposal also uses a blocklist, which will require constant and active maintenance so that vulnerable devices aren't exploited. This model is unsustainable and presents a significant risk to users and their devices."

My read of the disagreement is it it's about a core design trade-off: how important is it that a browser can do anything that an app can do? I think it's very important (https://www.jefftk.com/p/we-need-browsers-as-platforms) and I'm frustrated that Mozilla no longer does.

In case it wasn't clear: It's better to grow food without a greenhouse, then ship it vs. spending energy on a greenhouse, and saving energy on shipping.

The reason is simply that shipping uses very very little energy, it's the rest of the production that uses a massive amount of energy.

I used to keep a txt file containing something like:

-site:highrankingspamsite1.com -site:highrankingspamsite2.com etc

And then I would paste that in at the end of each query.

Today they've removed that kind of spam so I don't need that.

Today my problem is that they fuzz my queries to include useless results. Not a spam problem rather than a problem of Google not realizing that I only want relevant results.

But of course, removing results that doesn't contain what I search for is easy and not an interesting machine learning problem so why should anyone care to fix that?

(That said: lately things have improved, so maybe I should just shut up and hope nobody at Google notices and puts back the insane fuzzing.)
One could argue that all numbers are an abstraction; they don't "exist" in any physical form, even integers. Therefore, why is it such a surprise that complex numbers are sometimes also needed to model reality?
