All bootcamps are a sham. They make lots of promises, but end up just churning out candidates who can barely reason about the material that was foisted upon them in rapid-fire succession.

I don't see bootcamp experience as being useful for a hiring metric. You can get the same exact results by independently studying yourself, and save yourself the stress and money. You're better off finding peers/mentors to talk to through programming meetups/conferences.

Python has magic methods, metaclasses and decorators, which gives you quite a bit of flexibility when you need it. Maybe not quite to the extent of Ruby, but more than Go.
Tradewell Technologies Inc | Remote | Full-Time | Full-Stack

We are building technology that automates corporate bond trading. Our users are professional traders at instututional investors whose lives are miserable because trading corporate bonds is so painful. While this huge and hugely important market does not get much play in the press it shockingly lags behind stocks (not to mention crypto) in terms of trading technology.

Why is the corporate bond market so painful to trade? The answer is a combination of inertia and lack of modern tech tools. The founders have worked in electronic trading for more than 15 years at both large banks and hedge funds and have a track record of building path-breaking products and succesful businesses.

Our last financing round has us well-funded and the work the founding team puts us on track for a pilot launch this summer. Our investors and directors are some of the best-connected players in corporate bond trading.

We are hiring "rangy" full-stack engineers. In addition to core expertise in multi-threaded, real-time systems in Kotlin/Java, we would be thrilled if you know Python, React/Typescript, and AWS tools.

Think of this as a true early-employee opportunity at a startup. There are currently only five of us, counting the two co-founders, so you will be able to contribute to our culure and company DNA.

We offer standard equity incentives. In the US, we provide medical and dental benefits. We will also work with you on visas.

If interested, email us at info@tradewelltech.co.
It's tricky to do on a one off case, but once you get the profiles down it's very automatable.

Wait, make has a global state? I was under the impression most make targets are stored somewhere in the project itself (like a build/ directory). I think this is a fine approach, BTW. I think global state should be avoided unless necessary.
You can still run a mesh without a wired backhaul. It's just not as fast/reliable.

Also, 5.8GHz does not penetrate walls as well as the older 2.4GHz standards.
I think you're mixing ARM up with PPC. The AIM alliance was Apple/IBM/Motorola and granted them access to the tech.

Apple pays ARM for an architectural license, just like any other company.
There was a trick in "Four hour work week" - I'm going from memory, might not be accurate - where Ferriss would place eBay listings for nonexistent products and then cancel the auction before it completed; any bidding would indicate real customer interest.

You could do something similar with facebook ads. Make ads for the finished product, if people click take them to a "Register for more info" page. Now you have some email addresses of interested people.

This only measures superficial interest in a concept of course; it doesn't give feedback on your actual product.
Well, making it enforced by the runtime answers at least one obvious objection to Hungarian notation.
As I said this is a minor item.

The major one, which one sees to this day in contemporary European sources (even scholarly matter), is how Arabs translated ancient sources into Arabic. This occulation of (substantial and far reaching) contribution of Iran to "Western civilization" is unique to European sources.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_of_the_Greek_Clas...

Arab historians themselves, to their lasting credit, had the intellectual integrity:

“It is a remarkable fact that, with few exceptions, most Muslim scholars…in the intellectual sciences have been non-Arabs…thus the founders of grammar were Sibawaih and after him, al-Farisi and Az-Zajjaj. All of them were of Persian descent…they invented rules of (Arabic) grammar…great jurists were Persians… only the Persians engaged in the task of preserving knowledge and writing systematic scholarly works. Thus the truth of the statement of the prophet becomes apparent, ‘If learning were suspended in the highest parts of heaven the Persians would attain it”…The intellectual sciences were also the preserve of the Persians, left alone by the Arabs, who did not cultivate them…as was the case with all crafts…This situation continued in the cities as long as the Persians and Persian countries, Iraq, Khorasan and Transoxiana (modern Central Asia), retained their sedentary culture.”

- Muqaddimah, by Abū Zayd ‘Abd ar-Raḥmān ibn Muḥammad ibn Khaldūn al-Ḥaḍramī, translated by F. Rosenthal (III, pp. 311-15, 271-4 [Arabic]; Frye, R.N. (1977). Golden Age of Persia, London: Weidenfeld & Nicolson, p.91).

Soviet Russian historians are equally factual regarding these matters. As I said, this is a remarkable feature of European version of history as far as Iran is concerned.
> I'm honestly never quite sure what people mean by "verbosity" in Java.

Java improved with "var" keyword (use with caution!) and introduction of records. These are not the only code-shortening features (there are e.g. interface methods, diamond operator, lambdas, convenience "of(...)" methods, even "fluid style"), but they, used well, can really reduce verbosity.
A...april fools?
Honestly, not much currently.

QUAD unproven, India still wants Russian S400 despite CAATSA, dependence on sourcing from Russian MIC for decades to come, working relations with Iran. That's just some medium-term geopolitical positions against India. India will have problems getting leading edge for same reasons as China. Ultimately, India is too big to ever be junior partner and be subsumed under US controlled semi. Even if India had Chinese market capacity to absorb 300B of semi imports per year, they'd still have problems getting IC deals because at that point, a rich developed India that controls Indian Ocean is much scarier than rich China that controls SCS.

IMO India should hope Chinese semi efforts + EU/SK/JP attempts to spin off de-americanized supply chain succeeds - more semi tech spreads, more access to tech via political leveraging between blocs, better chance for indigenous Indian efforts. In the mean time focus on other achievable choke points like wafers, gas production, photo resist and insinuate itself into current global supply chain. Flex it's China-balance position and try to coerce modest 28nm fab for Indian MIC and slowly build from there. Realize it took SK/TW/US 40 years to build up capabilities. China will be lucky to do it in 30. No short cuts. The elephant in the room is obviously just getting country infra / business environment in order. IMO leading industries are whole of society problems. A country with $2000 per capita and heavy brain drain needs to solve the basics first.
Ask HN: How to find buyer for a $30M Amazon seller
I consult for a long-established Amazon seller with a $30M gross, $3.5M net. They're well-run and 90% of their products are private label. The owners feel it's time for an exit but so far the offers they've received are... whelming. My expertise is technical and not in acquisitions, so I'd love to hear how a company like that finds buyers in 2021--last time I cared about equity, for example, the word SPAC wasn't in my vocabulary ;)

It does look like apple's unit sales (of phones at least which are the lion's share of product) have been declining (conveniently they stopped reporting unit sales long ago) but I don't think that really applies here. Apple's share of the total semiconductor market is far from dominant.

What's really interesting is how well they couple demand to shipment. One is that they appear to have low levels of unsold inventory, both on the incoming (BOM) side and output (unsold manufactured output, such as phones), reflecting some incredible discipline. They also manage to insure themselves against supply shock (because such a tight tolerance for over purchase and overproduction makes your supply chain more brittle) by making big moves in their supply chain like financing their suppliers, doing manufacturing R&D on their suppliers' technology and then supplying that tech to the suppliers, taking big positions in commodity markets (e.g. famously in DRAM a few years ago) and other such things you can do when you have so much cash on the balance sheet.

The IRS sometimes lets you depreciate that portion of a rental property which is the building itself or improvements, sure... but if we’re talking about homes - almost all of those buildings are physically attached and sold with land which is a component of those transactions.

In practice, people continually put money into permanent homes to update it, because their property as a whole is widely seen as an investment. It’s a package deal.

Mobile homes have none of this. They are not attached to land. The transactions in which they are transferred are not connected to land. They’re usually titled, and often sit on rented land.

Thanks! Glad you love it :) SQL support and inline JS is next on the roadmap, and actually mostly implemented, we're busy documenting and doing more testing. So we are really excited to ship it soon!

We also implemented OpenID Connect support so you can "bring your own" auth service. Will be making a post again when these new features ship in the very near future.

Hope you give it a shot! And let us know if we can help!

Maybe, though in the last 100 years, at least in the West, the left was generally anti-racist, emancipatory and internationalist while the right was nationalist, sexist and racist. They're now switching on the racism+sexism thing in many Western countries with the left going for active racism and sexism (with role reversal) while the right (minus the far right, maybe) adapts more egalitarian policies.

It's unclear how homogeneous the left is on these positions. It appears that we're now at a point where splits are happening in the left, at least in Europe, it looks more unified in the US (though I guess the typical argument is that there is no significant left in the US).

The Nordic countries' left is now more right-wing on immigration and integration than central Europe's conservative parties -- it's going to be an interesting future.
Thanks!

We just moved Space.sh from GitLab to GitHub (hurts in my heart, but yeah community is on GitHub).

SEEKING FREELANCER | Remote | Part-time

Tech: React Native / Expo

Hey, I am looking for someone who has experience implementing in-app purchases in a React Native mobile app published in both app stores (App Store and Play Store). Some native mobile development knowledge might come in handy too.

Our app is already developed and published in both stores [0][1] as a paid app. We are changing to a free app with in-app purchases. It is a simple app, with three children stories. In the freemium version it will have one free story while the two others will be paid.

I need someone with real experience that can implement this for me or even just guide me so I can develop it myself (I am a web developer, just not a mobile developer and confused by the document and process around in-app purchases).

It should a short, one-time job. I would guess less than 10 hours because my need is very specific. Thank you for considering it.

Covid: Will your pet need a coronavirus vaccine?
Could you provide a screenshot of a RTL terminal? I wasn't aware people use those. Probably showing my own ignorance here, but when would you need to use it.

Also, I'd assume this has nothing to do with terminal emulator (might be a wrong assumption). I thought the shell/TUI just has to position the cursor on the right hand side and emit the correct Unicode?
I wonder who the target consumer for this would be. I mean, I get that the target users are probably marketing departments / communications people across the world’s companies.

But genuinely curious who’s the end-customer who reads these emails.

Email is a strange technology that is only used for _reading words_ more than anything else — office work, receipts, itineraries, bills etc etc. Even the best newsletters, imo, tend to be word-heavy than imagery (such as Candor or Levels.fyi or Chairman Mom).

Would be cool if a Mail IDE had a way to tell if the email I’m writing is _engaging_ enough simply by the words alone. Some day perhaps.
