At Good Eggs, we believe feeding your family well shouldn’t come with a trade off — be it your time, your standards, or your wallet. We’re pioneering a new way to fill your fridge, by sourcing the best food from producers we know and trust, and bringing it straight to you — all at a price the same or less than your grocery store.

The Technology Team at Good Eggs runs a healthy agile engineering process with:

* pair programming
* test-driven development
* continuous deployment

The Platform Engineering Team is looking for Senior Software Engineers who are interested in a multidisciplinary engineering environment and are excited to support our culture of DevOps & Data alongside a passionate, mission-driven team.

The authors book "Design of everyday things" is absolutely amazing, and I still think of it when I ask myself why something was designed the way it is, and how it could have been better.

I highly recommend it to everyone.

> This is basically "pretty please." If something is uncomfortable it's not "material to patentability" according to corporate patent people.

If those "corporate patent people" are lawyers, they're betting their law licenses: Intentional withholding of material information can result in the patent's being held unenforceable for that reason alone [0], and quite possibly temporary- or permanent disbarment for any patent attorney found to have engaged in such misconduct. [1]

[0] See, e.g., https://casetext.com/case/deep-fix-llc-v-marine-well-contain..., in which a highly-regarded federal district judge in Houston held that a patent attorney had intentionally withheld material information from the patent examiner; the case is discussed at https://www.ipwatchdog.com/2020/02/26/inequitable-conduct-li... As another example in which patent attorneys were likewise held to have engaged in inequitable conduct, see https://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=455051935074519...

Protons at 120 MeV will deposit a significant amount of energy via nuclear collisions. The binding energy of a nucleon in a nucleus is about 8 MeV, so plenty of free neutrons will be produced, which will then create 14C by the (n,p) reaction on 14N. Back of the envelope gives this creating about 10 tonnes per second of 14C in the planet's atmosphere (assuming the proton density of 1/cm^3, and assuming the planet is Earth-like and all the protons struck the atmosphere). This is about 11 orders of magnitude higher than the production on Earth, and would result in such a high equilibrium concentration of 14C that the biosphere would likely be sterilized, even ignoring thermal effects.
Yes, same idea. We need some amount of stress to train our system. (in 2020s trend it would be linked to hormesis)
Socialize yes. But so far it's only been because of the kids and because it's awkward to just stand around and not talk to each other. Never found anyone I'd really wanna hang out with. YMMV obviously.
Right, just like I want to go back to a car that gets 3 gallons per mile.

I quit my startup & picked up a boring, stable job to be a better dad a couple years ago, so I feel this too.

If the article said it’s only hard for moms, then I’d disagree with it... but it doesn’t.

It’s just critiquing the assumption that every mom wants the same thing. These assumptions form social pressures & impact career decisions, and she’s pointing out that you don’t have to struggle with that decision in the way society expects.

Sure, it would have been nice if they acknowledged dads... but given the name of the website, I don’t think we’re the stars of this show, and that’s fine.

Symphony | REMOTE | Full-time | backend / frontend / lead full-stack / data-scientist | Mongo-Node-React | $35k-90k

We're a food-tech startup allowing the collective exploration of the mathematical space of all possible recipes. We like to think of it as the primordial soup for the universe of cuisine.

- Hardware side: We produce and ship any recipe for 7€ a piece, ready-to-eat (e.g. pesto pasta, chili con carne, veggie bowl). Think of Symphony as a black box: recipe in, meal out (and brought to your doorstep).

- Software side: Members can create recipes out of a catalog of 500 ingredients (e.g. 85% pasta, 7% basil paste, 7% olive oil, 1% salt). They can then order, taste, adjust and repeat. But the real value comes from the community sharing their best findings: from the most popular to the trending, the very niche and the just absurd — any combination is allowed, !500. Recipes are constantly evolving towards diverse variants. Finally, machine-learning is used to model users' preferences and make recommendations; model the essence of popular recipes and generate new variants (from small adjustments to merging several recipes together).

More on the space of all recipes here: https://symphony.fr/p/the-space

We're hiring diverse positions. Send your CV at kai@symphony.fr, and we'll arrange a 30 min video call.

I was responding to the statement "how long do you plan on living?" made with respect to children.

However, there's far more than 1 year of data on mRNA and adenovirus vector vaccines.

The thing is lay people really have no basis for saying "there's not enough data" and "it's too fast" -- the scientists who study this are the ones with the background to make that assessment. All we really have are gut feelings and anecdota.
If you want to get something fancy like an Aluminium Dibond print, check your country's groupon, you usually find a 50% discount offer there.

TeXmacs has interfaces for many systems (https://twitter.com/gnu_texmacs/status/1382216780702175232) including R. Seems that currently R does not run, however I think a medium R user can understand and fix the problem. The interface code for R is written in R.

Show HN: Writing tests for machine learning models
That's correct, but SQLite would require to serialize/deserialize the data sent to Python func (from C to Python and back), while Arrow allows to get a "view" of the same data without making a copy. Which is probably not an issue in OLTP workloads, but may become more visible in OLAP.
Sort of surprised to see VScode and LLDB mentioned. So Java or C++? Rust?
I helped at the very beginning before she had a CTO, built an alpha version that we tested with customers (which led to a very different product). This was while she was pregnant, we worked nights after we put our kid to bed, and I took some time off of work to help too. Our kid is older and was in school at the time, so wasn't around the house during weekdays. Sometimes on Sunday my wife would watch our kid while I hacked away. This was pre-COVID.

She found her CTO a couple of months after our second child was born and I haven't been involved since. Shortly after she found her CTO, they raised their first round.

(More context: we did not have much money lying around, no family to donate money to us, nor did either of us have any experience starting a company.)

Also, what's "Oregano" in this context? Seems out of place if it's just the herb/spice.
I was visiting my wife's family in Fiji and it was amazing how much more attention my boy, a toddler got there than in North America. Females of all ages from like 12-100 would dote on him, ask to hold him and talk to him. In North America women treat him like he's diseased whereas my dog gets lots of attention. Weird. There really is a cultural bias against kids here.

Agreed, it's way too easy for most locks to be interesting as a hobby, but to jump to pick-resistant locks is a huge increase in skill that I never made it past.

So I just treat it as a useful skill to have in emergencies. I leave a set of picks in my cars' glove compartments and a very crude set (a very basic tensioner and a bunch of hairpins) in my yard. Has come in handy a couple of times when I've locked myself out.
Yeah, the Onyx Boox Note works well for notes. The reason I didn't get Remarkable is because I wanted access to my cross platform RSS reader and other reading apps.
This is as good of a place as any to ask this:

Years ago when I envied demoscene programmers I tried to do animation by way of the redefining VGA font table quickly. I never succeeded in getting that to work for any reasonable frame-rate. Is anybody aware of examples of software that did that and were able to achieve a reasonable frame-rate? I'd love to look at the code, even >25 years later, just for fun.
Agreed! My wife and I each have one.

> believe this lack of threat has warped our ability to calculate risk properly. We underestimate the risk posed by threats within our control (diet, drinking heavily, excessive drug use, driving dangerously)

The generation that grew with those existential threats drunk more, drove more dangerously, generally risked more and looked at healthy food as on something feminine and weak.
Direct transfer is nice, but sometimes people aren't online at the exact same time. I remember when Skype was solely peer to peer, and you'd have to wait to download a file shared in a group chat until the person who shared it was online again.

What I don't understand is why Jews are never listed in these diversity lists or even options when you're supposed to choose race on a form. At a total world wide population in the low millions, and one of the few (only?) combinations of race & religion, what better standard for minority could there be?

Respectfully, he's an expert at individual companies, not macro trends. He's done a lot for the average man by inspiring people to invest and recommending appropriate literature. But he isn't an actual prophet...
It would be like if Amazon owned the entire mall, and would kick out competitors and establish their own stores once they become profitable.

Just wait. It may happen.

During the pandemic some of the big mall companies bought their tenants, either out of bankruptcy, or at crazy cheap prices.

At first it looked like the malls were just doing it to keep the lights on and the storefronts occupied. Now there's more and more people saying the mall companies may try to become "Amazon In Real Life."

To me, it sounds like Department Stores 2.0. But it'll be interesting to see if it actually happens.
Brilliant partnership. I wonder how Microsoft will take this most recent development, considering Discord recently turned down their over $10B acquisition bid...
EDIT: I am no longer looking for work. Cheers!
Longer does not always equal better. The quality of the extended lifespan is key. But, if you could guarantee quality of life, there is still a bimodal distribution I find among my peers - "Why would you want to live forever?" and "Why wouldn't you want to live forever?"

FWIW, I'm in the "Why wouldn't you want to live forever?". Think of all the things to do and learn and experience and relearn. Ask me again in 10,000 years though.
It's easier to get confused. And there's still ambiguity. A few months back I was fighting my phone over this--typing degrees/minutes/seconds into Google on a phone isn't easy. I ended up using the calculator to convert it to degrees with fractions. Finding the spot along the road was a pain.
What’s fascinating is that it doesn’t seem to matter; most thefts in the US appear to be the result of something be completely unsecured, or via brute force. Chances are someone is far more likely to break your window than pick your lock.

The only ones that really bother me are the firearm locks. A distressingly large percentage of firearm locks he talks about can be opened in seconds by an untrained teenager, which seems incredibly bad to me.

As a side thread, regarding Jeanne Calment, here's a more in depth article about whether she was actually the oldest person in the world: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2020/02/17/was-jeanne-cal...

I find it compelling, or at least plausible, that she wasn't actually the oldest person ever. Mainly just on the math of if, that if expected years remaining reduces exponentially as a function of current age, there would have to be many more people closer to the oldest age than there are.
Sounds like you work at H1 :)

Those are line-drawing and shading characters. They were used all the time in MS-DOS programs (to great good, in my opinion) for textual "windowing" UIs (a "TUI").

A good example is Turbo Vision: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbo_Vision
We set up an internal Athens[0] caching proxy with credentials to pull from our GitLab. So far it seems to be win/win/win

- We don't need this dance in our Dockerfiles / build scripts / dev machines anymore. We have a baked GOPROXY / GONOSUMDB in our build image and developers configure the same proxy (via `go env -w`) locally.

- We pull all packages over the proxy, so builds are faster / use less bandwidth / still mostly work when GitHub goes down.

- SCAs get more difficult; the credentials the proxy has are more limited than any individual developer's GitLab tokens / credentials, and owning the proxy is going to be harder than a single developer's laptop.

> If it runs on two VMs, how do you handle networking between them, or updating the containers?

You do know that networking existed before containers right?

In our case though: We already have a large multi-tenant load balancer, so any traffic that needs be able to hit either containers is routed that way. Inter-container communication is just run over the networks as you would any normal application.

Deployment, that's a little tricky, and here Kubernetes do present good, but confusing way of managing deployments. However, we find that for most setups Ansible is actually just fine. Remove the VM from the load balancer, upgrade that VM, swap it out for the other VM and upgrade that. This is something we sovled before Kubernetes was available.

It's my belief though that many of those developers who want Kubernetes actually want kubectl, because it's an easy way for them to deploy code to production. They in fact don't really care what runs their code in the end.

I mostly deal in onprem Kubernetes, so autoscaling workers isn't really a thing. The hardware NEEDS to be present at all time. Your point about the cost of the control plan VMs is correct, but what if your application runs fine on roughly the same resources as the a control plan node? (something like 4GB of RAM vs. 2GB and maybe 2 CPUs) My issue is that I see people pick Kubernetes for insanely small projects.
At least for Gitlab, you can write a .netrc in the user‘s home dir like so:

machine <your GitLab domain> (e.g. gitlab.com)
login <your GitLab id>
password <your GitLab personal access token>

For the access token, you can also leverage Gitlab‘s CI Job Token.

What we do is an „echo $(netrc contents with $CI_JOB_TOKEN) > ~/.netrc“ in the pre-script in CI.
