We choose our clients and projects carefully, and every product we build requires us to tackle new and exciting challenges. We also reject the idea that software development has to feel like a grind. We work 35 hours per week, support flexible schedules, are family friendly, and work with both local and remote developers.

We’re looking for pragmatic developers who build with:

empathy for the users a deep understanding of the product we’re building and our client’s businesses an eye towards writing well architected code

You should have:

- a strong background in full-stack Ruby on Rails - experience working in Javascript, especially React - experience developing applications from the ground up - experience with behavior-driven development and unit testing - a product-minded focus when creating applications - good communication skills in English and a location in North America

Africa is a big place.

Where exactly in Africa? If you have some sources, this sounds like an interesting read.
"It is fun to think that there might be higher-dimensional conscious beings around us or even within us. But that's all it is, fun. There doesn't seem to be any practical implications of whether there are or not."

Well, it is fun, when you assume those spirits to be friendly. But if they exist and they are not allways friendly - then there would be very practical implications because of that.

Is your bad luck random, or did you anger some god or spirit?
Then you would benefit from doing things to calm them. Many, many people believe that.

But yes, the point is, why assume their existence in the first place, when science so far is very good at creating a working model of the universe.
But since we do not have a complete model at all and maybe never will, I would not assume it is proven that billions of people on this earth who believe in magic etc. are all wrong. Because if you do that - then you would never find hints that they do exist. There is a theory in the spiritul world, that there is a mind censor in ourself, that is blocking all information on those magic things as we would not be able to focus on the tasks at hand, if we would be distracted by ghosts all the time. So main technics there, are how to control your inner censor and open your eyes to see and do much more.

Well, what I can say for certain, is that the various magic traditions developed very powerful psychological technics to achieve various things with your mind. Whether there is real magic one has to see and decide for themself.
These look amazing! For anyone not aware: lock picking is already easy on most locks. I was locked out of a keyed door in my last apartment once and was able to pick my way back in with no experience, a friend's lock picking kit, and a few YouTube videos. The whole thing took less than 30 minutes.

Since then I've thought of locks more like deterrent than bulletproof security.
TeXmacs is awesome, I used it in grad school to take notes during QFT lectures and I could follow along because the shortcuts are just so intuitive if you already know latex: for example in math mode, ^ enters superscript, _ enters subscript, you can access greek letters by tab completion from the roman alphabet characters like \alpha is a+tab, \delta is d+tab, \Delta is D+tab (capital D tab). It's awesome, although a little buggy in the less used bits like the graphics maker.

Still, it has a load of potential, it just needs a little more love (developers and money I suppose).

EDIT: little tidbit, much like the online org-mode manual, judging by the typeface and the color of the hyperlinks, I bet this article itself was written in texmacs and exported to html.
How in the world can someone "prefer their current provider" without something to compare against? I think in any kind of survey like this, I would like to see the actual questions that were asked.

As are you
I expect people to only switch if the price of the municipal option is lower. I also expect the corporations to get into a price war with municipalities, which they will win, because they have bigger coffer and economies of scale. I also expect the prices to go slowly but surely back up when the municipal option goes out of business.
It was the experts that you disdain with quotation marks, but the rest of us call scientists and engineers, who made Tesla and SpaceX, not Musk. It was not scientists and engineers who scoffed at the ideas of Tesla and SpaceX, but businessmen and other non-creators.

The ideas that Musk is promulgating through Neuralink are decades old; the technology he is using is hardly anything special. What scientists are pushing back on is the unrealistic timeframe Musk promises to achieve his scifi fantasies within, the consequences and repercussions of those technologies, and the short term effects of overselling and propaganda about these ideas, which are otherwise in fact valuable.
Yes, but the terms of the relationship make Amazon's behavior anti-competitive. Costco isn't going to various brands and asking them to sell at Costco, they buy inventory and resell it at a profit. Amazon has convinced a large portion of the retail market to feudalize themselves on Amazon's platform, then they are using the data accrued to take over the markets of their current and former tenants.

It is interesting. I was in hospital pumped up with all kinds of medicine and I saw from the window how the whole hospital building took off flying. And I "knew" it was real, I knew it could not be a dream.

So I wondered afterwards why did it feel so real, unlike any ordinary dream? I think it may be because I remembered that dream so vividly and it was a dream where I was fully conscious about my experience, and was able to question it rationally, and that didn't stop the dream from happening.

Whereas in ordinary dreams we just experience the dream, we don't much experience ourselves experiencing it. And seems like if we ask in a dream is this a dream the dream is over soon enough. Seems some drugs can cause us to "dream" in a way that does not immediately break when you start questioning it. And why couldn't they.
Why bring up something like this? I don't think that jives with HN's guidelines of "Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive."
I recently was locked out of my Netscape email address, which was controlled by AOL. I replaced my phone, and unsuccessfully tried logging in a few times.

I called the support number, and was told they could reset my password, as I never set up a two factor device, and the recovery email I had setup was a Hotmail address that I hadn’t used in 20 years so it was no longer around.

The catch? I was using a free account, so for support I either had to pay the $24.95/year to upgrade to a paid account, or pay $7.95 for a one-time support cost.

Not a bad business model when you have 175 million users.
I cannot recall exactly where it was mentioned, but I remember one of the producers saying that they purposely wanted to highlight the beauty of New Mexico.

Also, Longmire's cabin is located in Valles Caldera National Preserve[0]. It's a little outside of Los Alamos, and it's an amazing place to visit especially if you enjoy hiking. And don't forget the Bradbury Science Museum[1].

Some of them also have compilers to a simplified machine object code. This is seriously amazing. I doubt I'll get anything else done for the rest of the day :D
the company is successful, the original project is failed.
Twitter is a successful company, but Odeo was a failed product.

Bitcoin was supposed to be much more than it currently is, and the "success" of it is a product of continuous goalpost shifting.
SEEKING FREELANCER | Full-stack software developer | Remote

Guide Informatics is a small (two-person) software consulting company. We work with several biotech companies in the genome-editing (CRISPR/Cas9) space, building software that allows their scientists to organize, analyze, and visualize their data.

We're looking to bring on an additional full-stack developer on a part-time or full-time basis (flexible).

Our stack is Python/JavaScript, and experience with the following technologies would be ideal but not required:

* Django

* Vue.js

* Postgres/MySQL

* AWS

Any experience with the following would be a plus but not necessary:

* Data Visualization tools (D3, charts.js, etc)

* Pandas

* R

This is a remote gig but does require that you be legally allowed to work in the US, and we'd prefer if you were in a time zone close to pacific.

If interested, send a resume and a quick intro about yourself to jordan@guideinformatics.com.
The Points Guy | Engineering and Product Analysts | Austin / Charlotte / New York / Remote US | Full-time | https://thepointsguy.com

Hiring for:

* Senior Fullstack Engineer, Travel Authenticated Experiences

* Senior Frontend Engineer, TPG Site

* Senior Frontend Engineer, Travel Authenticated Experiences

* Frontend Engineer, Travel Authenticated Experiences

* Frontend Engineer, TPG Site

* Backend Engineer, Travel APIs team

* Senior Android Engineer, Travel Mobile Apps

* Performance Analyst, Travel Mobile Apps

* Customer Experience and Email Analyst, TPG Site

About the teams:

Travel APIs is our core backend engineering team, responsible for developing capabilities that make the award travel ecosystem computable, thereby enabling our users to travel smarter. In practice, this means wrapping expertly crafted code around flight schedules, booking and routing rules, loyalty programs, credit card features, and partner API integrations. We build for security, reliability, fault-tolerance, and performance. It's a polyglot team that chooses the right tool for the job, working in java, node.js, and golang. Creating these products involves a lot of data, and while this isn't a "big data" or data engineering job, it's certainly medium-size data. Strong relational database skills are a must, and the ability to explore different datasets and relate them together will serve the team well. If you're not very familiar with AWS, that's OK... but you will become quite familiar with it.

Travel Mobile Apps exists to build mobile apps that delight our end users and make them smarter travelers. The mobile team works closely with the Travel APIs team to implement our capabilities in beautiful, useful mobile apps. The forthcoming TPG mobile app will launch this summer for iOS. Up to this point, we have been iterating and testing with users on a single platform in order to speed up development. Now, we're looking for an experienced software architect who can introduce us to the Android ecosystem and help us reach a wider market.

Travel AuthX is our web applications team, dedicated to front end consumer-facing experiences. The TPG web application is still in its planning phases, but this team is also responsible for launching the new website for our sister brand, ExpertFlyer, which is already in beta and nearing production-readiness. AuthX partners closely with the Travel API's team, but it takes an expansive view of "front end," with some backend APIs under its ownership in order to allow the team to iterate and test consumer features quickly and autonomously. Our tech stack is React/Redux, Node.js, Golang, and Aurora RDS. This is a newly formed team built around a collection of hand-picked leaders from our organization, and we intend to move quickly on some big goals as the travel industry comes back to life.

Sounds like that actual headline should be "Most US Companies will require proof of Vaccination to collect employer incentive to get vaccination"

As only 44% of employers are planing to require vaccination (as a condition to return to the office) and only 34% are planning disciplinary actions for people that refuse to get vaccination
I'm curious about how you would compare Amazon vs your own site. Things like Amazon's buyer-friendly return policy comes to mind...which clearly come at a cost for sellers (and buyers, fairly directly).
As the input gets more dynamic, so does the type system representation. If you want to handle user-supplied JSON schemas, in my understanding of JSON Schema, you'd have to use the serde_json::Value way: https://docs.serde.rs/serde_json/#operating-on-untyped-json-...

This blog post from last year was also persuasive to me.
“ doesn't seem to be any practical implications of whether there are or not.”

On one hand everything is material and deterministic (whether you confess to it or not — eg Dan dennet), on the other hand you have the possibility of free will, of human nobility and virtue.

Selfish genes sounds like doublespeak to me. I’m sure it’s true to some extent, but I’m confident that it’s not the whole Truth.
‘It’s too late to start over’
Good point -- I don't know how to estimate the marginal cost of delivering marketing mail but it's certainly not zero. Looking at the same USPS FY2020 financials [1] it looks like marketing mail constitutes a little more than half of the pieces they deliver. That about matches my experience. My guess is that several times a month I have a mailbox that contains solely marketing mail. I'm not sure how much money it would save the USPS if the mail carrier passes by my house without stopping on those days, but I suspect the bigger impact would be dealing with half the physical volume of mail for our household.

I still hope we can find a more sustainable path for the USPS than forcing them to stay alive by delivering something no one wants to receive.

At a certain level of aggregation, metadata is AWS need-to-know for capacity planning etc or for account execs to understand the needs of their covered clients.

There's definitely room for discussion over when what level of granularity is necessary and whether metadata at different levels of granularity should be shared with product vs. customer facing teams.

That didn't seem to be what the GP comment was about though - 'mining data from AWS servers' sounded to me like a much more invasive approach to client data.

Sure, but if you had 20+% of the search engine market it seems terrible to not even try. Maybe it would have failed and bankrupted the company but I still think it would have been an exciting sell for the employees to try to compete. There were so many extremely talented people working there.
> it's that people way overuse it for SQL tasks as this article points out

I'm very confused by this. I've used pandas for ever a decade, and in most cases it's a massive time saver. I can do a single query to bring data into local memory in a Jupyter notebook, and from there re-use that memory across hundreds or more executions of pandas functions to further refine an analysis or whatever task I'm up to.

Your "copy-object-copy" is not relevant in data analysis use cases, and exists in pretty much any system that pulls data from an external service be it SQL or not.
Unfortunately, that requires a Google account, which requires a valid phone number.

Is this different from PageSpeed Insights? If not, why doesn't PageSpeed Insights suffice? All I'm doing is creating websites that are as accessible and easy to use as possible. I shouldn't need to sign up and give my data to Google to do that.

HTML5 (with CSS and JS) and HTTP is all I should have to deal with, registering for search engines seems backwards to me.
But which well-written sentences?

If you do a minimum of testing, bugs often depend on context. For example, in case of a UI bug, maybe the user zoomed in, maybe he is using a non-default font, maybe he is using a different locale, maybe he did some action without realizing it (ex: scrolling, resizing the window), maybe the time is incorrect, etc...

"I click that button and it crashed" isn't going to help you there, you know it doesn't crash, you use that button all the time...

If it is as straightforward as it looks, watching that 3 minute video is your punishment for not testing. Yes, I know, I don't test either, but don't blame the reporter for it.

It's an easy distinction for me. Incarceration shouldn't be used for anything but violent offenders. The torturous impacts on the inmate's mental state ring so many cruelty bells that I can't accept it as anything other than the last resort for people that have to be kept out of the public for safety reasons.
So to be clear, do you agree that almost all positive PCR tests for SARS-CoV-2 are true positives (i.e., that almost all patients testing positive are truly infected)? If yes, then what do you think (or think Mullis thinks) is wrong with "the way that PCR is being used today"?

The comment you replied to was speculating about "false positives where flu cases get labeled as Covid". Mullis's comments are not too coherent, but I read them as a claim that PCR tests will result in false positives, and I assumed that was why you thought they were relevant. At least one other user seems to have read them the same way, since user theclap responded with a link to a different article explicitly about PCR false positives. Do you read them as something else?

> Except there's no point I can recall in the history of strategic policymaking where anyone has concluded "yes, having our manufacturing base be outsourced to foreign powers is a sensible decision with no serious impacts on the actual or expected availability of defense capability".

Right. Including in the United States over the past 40+ years. The United States does manufacture its weapons domestically, it does stockpile reserves of key components, and it does require domestic manufacturing for key inputs. The linked report doesn't even contest any of this. It's to a "renaissance" in arms manufacturing.

The question is less "is this a real problem in the abstract" and much more "is this a real problem that the US actually has?"

This is really a bit like saying "if a country can't grow its own food then its people will starve". The problem is not with explicit argument, which is of course common sense. The problem is with the implicit implication ("give us more money for farm subsidies or you will starve"... well, wait, does the US have a food security problem? Do we already have funds in place to help mitigate that risk? Are those risk reduction programs effective? Is more risk reduction necessary? And is the specific spending that's being requested to nominally reduce risk actually going to do so?).

Which is to say, all of this comes before asking the even more important question: even if we do are out-sourcing our arms manufacturing (we aren't, but even if we were...), will following DoD's recommendations make us less reliant on other nations? Or are we just just pissing money away into some DoD beaurocrat's useless jobs program?
> Meanwhile, AOS is already by definition [xxxx] and [yyyy] and [zzzz] and [wwww]

There must be a misunderstanding here. AOS is by definition [xyzw][xyzw](...), the (C/C++) compiler has no leeway in rearranging this. I'm also assuming that there's no padding necessary, in either case.

Perhaps my way of notation is confusing, in that case I'm going to refer you to this page, which has code examples:

I linked two sources that show the number of transactions is not increasing exponentially.

What source do you base your claim that they are?
> There’s a lot of win in finding and plucking low hanging fruit - those high leverage features that seem almost too easy to do that you can do them anytime... but never get around to because you’re always working on something bigger and more interesting.

Totally agree. A brilliant piece of wisdom!
Interesting. I'm guessing the extra layer may be needed for some manipulations of data at the application layer, but perhaps that is almost always avoidable?

Have you ever tried Hasura? I'm thinking of giving it a go in a future project.
