SEEKING WORK - Remote, US-based

Remote: Yes (have worked exclusively remotely for past 10 years)

Willing to relocate: No

I've been doing full-stack work for the past 10 years, with Python and Django on the back-end and HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and jQuery on the front-end. I've also worked with the Django REST Framework and React.js. I'm intimately familiar with schema and data migrations, including migrations between Django projects. I've worked extensively with startups and I've worked with Twitter. I have a lot of experience working with distributed teams and am open to occasional travel. Available full (~32hrs) or part time. Interested in Python work or full-stack with Python.

I'd love to see SO be replaced by some collaborative ad-free solution like wikipedia.
> It's the ordinary masses that will lose the ability to travel abroad (and probably be limited in their ability to travel within their own country), who won't be able to see their friends and family so much anymore, who will lose a lot of the daily comforts of life.

Pretty dark view of the future. Its not that we have to lose all those things, we just got to change a little bit in how we produce things and electricity and how we travel. And got to insulate houses a little. We don't have to give up any of the comforts of modern life.

That's actually the worst part of it all: its not even that we would have to give up something in order to prevent climate change. We'd just have to CHANGE something, but even that seems to be too much to ask. That really makes me mad. So incredibly unnecessary :(
Similarly, I answered a few hundred questions some years back when I was running mobile at Mapbox and they were growing, and now I’m in the top 8% despite not doing much the past five years. Interesting.
There are, they are also not celebrated. I agree with parent poster that it's a systemic failure that people have to literally build slums to live even among all that wealth.
Did you consider the ability to charge an EV when buying (renting?) your home? Will you factor that in when moving in future?

Consumers have more choice than you think; not everyone, but a definite proportion come into a position to make a choice on a continual basis. And economically, it is the margin that matters.
Recently bought this piece of hardware, you can but a lot of good coffee instead, but it is an amazing machine that produce really great coffee:

You clean it?! That's where most of the flavor comes from! Like a perpetual stew.
I'd never visited the site but it looks very nicely executed, especially at creating a consistent vibe out of user-uploaded photos, which isn't easy.

A neat thing about businesses like this is that it takes a skillset that a lot of underemployed people have (cool hunting in thrift stores), and gives them a path to making part of their living out of it aside from the ancillary benefits of that come with being fashionable and cool. It also provides access to wider markets and price discovery for vintage shops in the same way that abehbooks did for used bookstores a decade or two ago, or eBay did for junk sellers at flea markets.

The inevitable downside is that it further compresses globo youth culture and makes it harder to develop a scene, but that horse left the gate a long time ago.

How to Build a Community
Ah, what is a "bad" price for an massively underwhelming piece of hardware, in your book, then?
You also need gas for peaking power plants if you use nuclear for the base load.

France has a huge problem having to replace crumbling nuclear power plants with new ones being too expensive and too slow to build.
Louis Rossmann nudged the needle. Maybe when enough companies design-for-repairability again, they'll convince Cupertino to do more than pretend to offer parts.

nixpkgs (which you can use on macOS or any Linux distro), quite little, you can get up to speed in 15min as a Homebrew replacement:

nix-env -qas ruby # 'q'uery 'a'vailable 'search'
nix-env -I ruby. # install by package name (not recommended)
nix-env -iA nixpkgs.ruby_3_0 # install by "attribute", recommended
nix-env -q # 'q'uery (i.e list installed)
nix-env -e ruby # uninstall (like deleting a git ref)
nix-env -q
nix-collect-garbage # cleanup, like `git gc`
# etc...

And as a general purpose virtualenv/rvm/whatever replacement:

$ cat shell.nix
{
pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {}, # you can have multiple of these with different names to have e.g a mix of stable and unstable
}:
let
openssl = pkgs.openssl; # just an example of how to set a var
in pkgs.mkShell {
buildInputs = [
openssl
pkgs.ruby_3_0 # or reference attires directly
];
}
$ nix-shell
(nix) $ ruby --version
ruby 3.0.1p64 (2021-04-05) [x86_64-darwin17]
(nix) $ openssl version
OpenSSL 1.1.1k 25 Mar 2021
(nix) $ exit
$ openssl version # back to the system one
LibreSSL 2.8.3

That way it's immediately useful and you can dig in deeper into the concepts as you go, if you want to.

NixOS, it's barely different, only generalised to the whole OS, but it's a bit tougher, because there's this abstraction via configuration that generates e.g systems files or other configurations that you'd operate with directly otherwise on a traditional distro. But the minute you screw things up, having the generation selector to pick and boot on straight in the boot loader you can see the absolutely unparalleled value of the proposition.
No, since Leap 15.3 uses SLES binary's....

But NetBSD would be the best match for your G5
Just wait till you have to pay big time for your programming answers. 1,800,000,000.- is a lot of benjamins to earn back.
It's also been seen in the active duty US military so fitness level is likely independent.
You can't avoid capillary vasoconstriction at any dose and that's what makes your teeth rot and gums go bad. Nothing you can do about that. I've used Adderall and Vyvanse many many years ago for "ADHD" as well. Bad breath and increased gum issues made me stop well before any damage occurred.
I think low code works for smaller more routine projects where hiring devs is just not all that feasible.
Random aside, the fantasy world in the Dishonoured games series is a parallel version to ours wherein whale oil formed the basis for the industrial revolution.

This is I think a riff on the Fallout universe, where the transistor was never invented and electronics still bloomed via it's predecessor, vacuum tube technology.
> sold a small portion of its equity stake in Tencent in April for $14.6 billion.

Personally I would never use “small” to describe anything worth 15B…

Anyway, Tencent is worth 850B and these guys own approx. 200B of that, so they’re quite large.

They need a lot of customers to make it worthwhile to bring US costs down. Right now US production is mostly used for prototypes where high production costs don't matter as much as flexibility to make changes. If you need 10 made in the US that is good enough. If you need millions made in the US then it would be worth investing in all the things needed to manufacture something cheaply. With enough investment per-unit costs in the US can be lowest in the world - but few things are worth putting that much investment in when China already has most of what you need and the supply chain is shorter.

Everything I said about the US applies in some form to every other country to some extent.
I believe the answers are CC-SA.

But the parent to your response has a point - knowing that the answers are CC licensed and knowing that the owners might have a ten-figure exit are different things. If the community were more aware of the latter, they might have been more canny about donating their efforts.

>>It’s ugly and buggy but gets a job done. This works for as long as they don’t hit a technical limitation then call devs like myself in to replace it.

Or more likely they leave the company, it breaks and no one knows how it worked, how it was suppose to work, or anything about it so they need to call in someone either from Internal IT, or and outside consultant to figure out what broke, and how to fix it...

Alternatively they want to convince someone that they have some tech that is interesting enough to create such cover up for.

If you are weak, let the enemy think you are strong.

In some fraction of the cases, I agree. Estimating what the likelihood for any given case is still a difficult challenge, but I think it's always under 75% and generally under 50%.
I occasionally buy licenses for creativity software.

Kinda similar to how I use my gym membership ;)
Using Parsers in Practice
Deadly Messaging Sins in Mobile Games (and How to Solve Them)
The article is a little thin on evidence this is actually happening, and not just a clickbait article so they could describe Amazon as "brutal".
Fine with me. If a bunch of smart people are going to lock themselves out of a multi-billion industry because they are too “enlightened” to bother, awesome. Less competition.
Would love to see an official Docker image.
I don't know the alternatives to be honest. Just saying that blanket regulations are simply politician's sport, marksmanship is nowhere to be found and the target ends up being something entirely different.

No one in their right mind would have predicted that GDPR is going to turn out into a cookie popup extravaganza. It is difficult to predict what happens when clueless people put regulations together without precision and limits.
So, nudity is the answers. Also ban tattoos and hair styles while you're at it. And all self-expression, since that's also subject to the whims of fashion.

Thank you for enlightening us, Mr. Mao.

I actually find myself landing on a Github issue after a Google search to diagnosing an problem these days.

>But now the quality of the questions and answers is worse

I see a lot of new users digging up 10 year old questions and cloning answers. They've really hit a spam problem that's difficult to solve.
Well it is huge, but more in Europe, i seen many Big Corp's using SLES, an nearly everyone who uses SAP.
Your post sounds good... Until you realise that nearly any nontrivial web page from 10+ years ago is broken today...

No Flash... Iframes don't work properly anymore... HTTPS servers from 10 years ago are unsupported by todays browsers... Most of the IE hacks no longer work (remember progid:DXImageTransform?)... Any images/resources hosted elsewhere are likely now nonexistent...

Plenty of web features have been introduced and then dropped just a few years later. Backwards compatibility is great... But if it's practically broken anyway, I think there is a good argument for breaking it further. People who need to read an old page will probably need to use IE6 in a VM anyway.
I wouldn't focus too much on the Pro SKU. It has a slower base frequency and boost frequency, with the upside that it has 8 memory channels and supports 2TB of RAM. If you need 2TB of RAM and 8 channels, it's what you need, but quad channel memory is still very good. Most desktop-class machines are still 2 channel.

There is something to be said for the prebuilt workstations from reputable vendors. It shows up in a box, and starts working. I have strongly considered that angle; being a system integrator is tough. If something doesn't work, it's a week cycle time where you find a new part, organize the RMA of the faulty part, etc. and there is a potentially unbounded amount of time spent tweaking. Meanwhile, HP or Lenovo just ships you a computer; they tested it and it works. You pay several thousand dollars for the privilege, but it might be worth it. (And if you want a TR Pro, you have no choice. AMD doesn't sell them to consumers.)
I have noticed that too, which is why I don't trust what's trending on reddit anymore.
I have noticed influencers on youtube and elsewhere, who never usually talk about political issues, making out of place comments about various issues. I can't tell if the uncomfortable look on their faces or the awkward way they deliver the message that gives away the fact that they've been paid to take a side.
My money is on a foreign hostile entity, but not for a scouting operation, this is an exercise in deterrence. This is someone who wanted to let the US know that they are capable of getting a high-end drone into the country and launch it near important civilian and military infrastructure. Which is also why they would affix it with a bright LED light, they wanted to get noticed and then show off its capabilities.

It might sound counter-intuitive to outright tell your enemy what you are capable of, but that's exactly how deterrence works. Winning a war is good, but it's better to convince your opponent that they shouldn't start a fight in the first place. Which means your opponent needs to have some understanding of what you are capable of. If they don't, if you develop significant capabilities but keep them secret, your opponent may initiate hostilities with you, under the mistaken assumption that they could win. You don't give them everything, but you give them enough to make them concerned, and even better make them over estimate the size and scale of the threat. Done right, you can get an adversary to devote far more resources to counter your threat than you put into it, or more than is warranted.
If they own 200bn then 15bn is a small portion. It's relative.
Their engineering culture has suffered a shock. From the outside, it looks like it was deliberately undermined by management and the move to the South chasing right-to-work leverage. If they don't design anything new for 15 years, and early-retire their workforce, they might lose the capacity to design anything substantial at all.
search any programming related on google always have some stockoverflow links. stockoverflow rank pretty well with search engine. i think that alone is already worth a billion.
Definitely not true. Big variety of people here
After reading that article (and after having worked in and with government) I don’t see how the contents of this article and your comment are connected? I’m not seeing any political manoeuvring exposed in this write-up? What in that article led you to draw this conclusion?
Tencent also owns almost half of Epic.
I find parallels between Stack Overflow and Mozilla. Both started with fairly focused products that were best in class. The user base grew and the network effect multiplied. Both were started and largely staffed by engineers.

Then both companies started focusing on "bigger", more ambiguous goals. Their about pages are riddled with the latest marketing-speak: Authentically empowering dignity, community, and inclusivity etc etc.

Now their products are withering. Dying a slow death.

I see these things as correlated. Many on HN will disagree. The honeyed words of social justice are more important than great, well executed products, apparently. It was a good run Stack Overflow.
Your analogy only holds if the customers to that pub were also supplying the drinks, the food, and handling the orders.
Why is this still news? Amazon is renowned in the industry as a place not to ever work for, isn't it?
What do experienced nix-ers tend to do when they need to use software that's not up to date or available in nixpkgs? Are you guys knowledgeable enough to package everything yourselves, or do you just use buildFHSUserEnv until someone else works out the kinks? I didn't get a chance to figure out how to do the latter, but I'm curious because I've struggled as a new user.
Let's just hope there will be no "Pay to see the answer" thing happening like this one website experts exchange or whatever it was called.

Sun used to get rid of overpaid useless executives by promoting them to "Vice President Of Looking For A New Job".
There is also debate on if the US should invest in that. Political tensions with China are one factor. However remember there are limited resources so investing in this means something else can't be invested in. Really this should be a world wide concern: if China is so bad how can we build up someone more friendly - it need not be the US. Could be Germany, could be Kenya (I understand China is investing there)
And, ironically, other insects (for example, dragonflies) which are also killed by the fogging. What's more, the predatory insects usually have a much longer life-cycle, so after a fogging the mosquitos will come back long before their predators. Thus, once you start fogging, you have to keep doing it or you'll end up with more mosquitos than before.

I've actually seen this happen... ok, my observation is purely anecdotal and has no scientific validity, but the effect I observed was pretty dramatic. Where I live in South America dengue is also endemic, and during some particularly bad Dengue outbreaks a few years ago the city government did some extensive one-shot fogging. Immediately afterward there were practically no mosquitos at all for a few weeks and reduced numbers for some months. But thereafter for at least 6 months to a year everybody complained that the mosquitos were worse than ever (mostly without making any connection to the insecticide fogging, they just complained the way people complain about the weather).
Low Code is the modern version of "Write Once run Anywhere"

It is pipe dream that will cost companies millions in Vendor Lockin, rewrites, and all of the other problems that come with non-developers "developing"

See the nightmare that is Excel Workbooks, the fact they are modeling FX on Excel Function is a horror I do not even want to think about
