SEEKING WORK - Remote US - DevOps

In the past, I've:

- Saved a company $500k a year in CI infrastructure costs.

- Worked with several hundred engineer organizations to migrate from Jenkins to GitHub Actions.

- Introduced configuration as code and GitOps best practices to teams.

- Built dynamic review environments triggered on a pull request.

I'm available to:

- Reduce the costs of your CI infrastructure so that you can free up your infrastructure budget.

- Help you migrate from Jenkins to a more modern CI platform, like GitHub Actions, to reduce operational overhead and iterate faster.

- Help your team evaluate emerging technologies and processes. CircleCI or GitHub Actions? Kubernetes or Nomad? GitOps or ChatOps? How do you know what's likely going to be a fad and what's not? I can help your team avoid costly mistakes when adopting new tools and processes.

- Scale your DevOps processes. Should your company adopt full-stack teams that own the entire delivery pipeline, or should a specialized team of internal experts own the pipelines? These are the questions I can help you answer so that you can decide on the right trade-offs that make sense for your company as it scales to avoid future expensive migrations.

- Do implementation work. Maybe you're a small team that doesn't have enough DevOps resources. I can augment your team, dive in, and start delivering fast. I'm well-versed in terraform, Kubernetes, docker, etc. I can help you build repeatable pipelines, documentation and provide a smooth hand-off to your internal team.

- Need something else? Please don't hesitate to reach out.

I’m in a similar spot, except I’m also the guy people come to for weird problems they don’t understand. The work I did day one is arguably one level above mine, and my first boss was on track to promote me but the little fucker quit a month before the annual review cycle and the next guy promoted way fewer people than he should have.

Now it’s been going on for so long that I’m not entirely sure how I will react if/when I do get promoted. I think we’ve gotten beyond, “about time” into some swear words. For starters they’d have to backdate the raise. I am about to start actively looking.
Take this with a grain of sugar. We know so little about the human body.
Associated with sure, but at what exposure levels? Can we expect all microplastics to have this affect? What if the lower fertility rates are tolerable compared to the benefits of plastic use overall?

From your first source:
>Data are still preliminary but suggest that ingested MPs bio-accumulate in mammalian tissue, including the testis, with outcomes on semen quality in rodents, as a consequence of inflammatory state and oxidative stress damage.

>The mechanisms decreasing fertility rate during the lifespan are still poorly understood.

>Taken together, although studies in mammals are still limited, preliminary observations point out a possible risk of MPs for male fertility.

The evidence is still "preliminary" and data "suggests" some outcomes but nothing is close to definitive. There are lots of confounding factors that can cause lower fertility that are explicitly noted in the that source. For example they even suggest that the microplastics themselves might not be causing harm, but rather that they act as "sponges" or vehicles for concentrating other pollutants that are actually decreasing fertility.
Minor nitpick.

You might also have many reverse proxy depending on network topography, security posture, and segmentation.

It is indeed an incredibly hard balance to strike, and I'm one of those people turned off from a lot of other science fiction where it's done ham-handedly. What Gibson nails so consistently is literary naturalism: his made-up words sound like things people would plausibly say without feeling ridiculous; he's a master forger of linguistic currency.

PostHog | Remote (US/Europe timezones) | Senior full-stack engineer / SRE | https://posthog.com

PostHog is open-source product analytics. Graduated YC W20, we were the most popular B2B software HN launch since 2012. Our GitHub repo [0] has 4k stars and a growing and active community. We've raised significant funding with 10 years of runway and are growing quickly. We're 25+ people and will be 50 by the end of the year.

We're looking for a full-stack engineer, someone who knows what a good product should look like. Our stack is Django/React/Redux (Kea -- main contributor works at PostHog too!).

We're also looking for an experienced engineering manager.

We have a culture of written async communication (see our handbook [1]), lots of individual responsibility and an opportunity to make a huge impact. Being fully remote means we're able to create a team that is truly diverse. We're based all over the world, and the team includes former YC founders, CTOs turned developers and recent grads.

To apply see https://posthog.com/careers or email us careers@posthog.com

It's not like they have physical cash to guard these days. Most of these accounts and money is "just digits in a mainframe somewhere". Kind of similar to what happened with traditional vs ebook publishing - there are still some costs, but no longer shifting physical things from place too place should save the customer some costs.
Apparently it's already deprecated https://github.com/boot2podman/machine ?
Can you summarize your claim ?

AFAICT, you are trying to say that current standardized certification processes aren't rigorous enough, and that you should be doing more.

I agree 100%, this is why we are using Rust, seL4, etc.

No one requires us to do this, but our projects using Rust have less bugs and issues than our past projects using C and C++.
Slight | Frontend and Full Stack Engineers | Remote (US/ET-1 to US/ET+6) | Full-time | $140k + equity | https://www.slight.co

We’re currently a team of three data scientists and engineers and are hiring a Full Stack Engineer to join our core team:

https://www.slight.co/jobs/full-stack-engineer-core

Our stack: Typescript, React.js/Next.js, PostgresSQL, Rust, Go, GCP

Nearly every organization that collects data has built a trove of analytical work critical to operational and strategic success. But this work is often ad-hoc, under-documented and bottlenecked by needing data teams to manually rerun analyses, queries and other data-related tasks - this becomes a company’s “shadow data infrastructure”. On the other end of the spectrum, teams often wait weeks or more for quick data solutions to be converted to true applications by engineering teams.

At Slight, we’re tackling these problems by building a product focused on the interaction between data teams and domain experts during the lifecycle of a data request. Currently, we are focusing on making it dead easy for data teams to create, document, and share performant data applications. That is, we're enabling people to take queries (SQL, etc; reads and inserts) and scripts (e.g., R, Python), easily parametrize them, and get an application that domain experts can use.

Come check out our open positions and apply on our jobs page if you’re excited about what we’re building here: https://www.slight.co/jobs

On the contrary I find if you're perceived as the most competent person you have the most authority in declining a request. You don't say "I can't do this", you say "We can't do that, but we can do this instead".
You cited a dead link. What I posted is the Internet Archive record of what was originally at that link.

Those are very restrictive, too. Consider GNU/Linux smartphones instead, Librem 5 and Pinephone.

This is true from anecdotal experience. However, what confuses things is that the "employer" simply doesn't know what it wants. The "employer" in this case is your immediate manager and, perhaps, a promotion committee that may include your peers. This set can have quite a bit of turnover in a company without good direction. The only constants that get recognized no matter the people (who may not have the ability or interest in evaluating technical contributions) are big talk, puffery, and unjustified confidence and optimism. Not to mention relentless positivity.
Downvolt and downclock your RAM when possible.
Turn off VRM phases when not needed (also on the GPU; RAM should be handled properly already on it).

Allow package-C6.
Turn on PCIe power saving stuff.

There is a bunch of stuff that mildly hurts performance and greatly improves efficiency in intermittent workloads, by letting hardware sleep/power-off when not needed.
> This is something bizarrely that some traditional banks (looking at you Danske) don't allow.

Probably why their Estonian branch was used to launder money.

"An idiot admires complexity, a genius admires simplicity."

Yes, and most of the idiotic complexity on the web today is the result of people insisting that instead of clearly defined execution and communication models all we needed was a document with some "extra features". Admit it. Alan Kay was right. All the web developers were wrong.

I like simple HTML. I even design most of my web stuff so that it works without scripts. However, the idea that documents are always simple and programs are always complex is wrong on the most fundamental level.
I've seen this as well. I feel like maybe worst case scenario is a virus that is silent, contagious, and eventually deadly, and can stick around long enough to infect others.

If natural incentives obviated the need for the FDIC, we would not have the FDIC, because both banks and incentives pre-date the FDIC by hundreds of years. It was created for a reason.
I'm a long-term Emacs user (18.55 is the first version I can recall using); by comparison, I find even VSCode frustratingly limiting (but it's what I've gotten my kids started using).

Emacs is ultra-powerful and configurable, but the default configuration feels entirely foreign to users of modern computers, starting with the keybindings which are enough to turn most people off.

IMO, there's nothing inherently better about Esc Z Z vs C-x C-s C-x C-c. That was the state of "competition" back in 1989. There's something inherently easier to remember about ⌘-s ⌘-q, especially when nearly every app uses that same key sequence (and the analogous C- sequence on Windows).

I don't know who would benefit from orchestrating a massive outreach effort for Emacs (and therefore who'd fund it with time and money). Emacs won't die off, but given the overall balance of forces, it's pretty well destined to be a niche editor I think.
If you are extremely wealthy it wouldn't be a surprise to need more than that limit in your bank accounts just to cover ongoing expenses. A couple large mansions, each with staff to pay... Of course you probably want those in separate accounts anyway just in case some staff defrauds you - they only get the one account.

Forward proxies work the same way in terms of chaining. There's only one user-visible proxy but there might be chain of forward proxies if that's how your org decided to structure things. It's not too unreasonable for $department proxy to run its own filtering logic and then pass the request upstream to $corporate proxy.
While I fully agree with your sentiment, are you by any chance privileged white male?

Quote from TFA "For those in an underrepresented group, titles make a world of difference in establishing credibility."
I used to help answer customer support questions with Amplitude. Sometimes what looks like incorrect data is just that the query is different from what you’d expect. Something like “has a user been retained?” is a complicated question and has a very specific definition that may not be surfaced in the UI entirely, yet varies from analytics product to product.

The result is sometimes the data seems to be wrong (inconsistent with other products) when really the problem is a lack of industry standardization on the different definitions of terms.
Also alignment with upper executives is pretty critical. Pay careful attention to what they say at All-Hands and which teams they're spending their time with, and try to get on those teams. Try to be in the room when major decisions are made; understand the thought process that went into these decisions. If you can simulate your VP's thought process and predict what they're going to value next, you're at a huge advantage over most of your peers in the department, and you can also leverage that to help your management look good.
Today, TVs turned to a dead channel are brilliant blue. So I guess it still makes sense.

What, a uniform blue color?

I remember a discussion about that particular line with Gibson, in an interview, but can't find it at the moment.
When someone asks me to teach them how to play drums, I spin my fingers in opposite directions, and tell them that its their first lesson. Someone told me it was impossible in 7th grade, and I spent the next 3 days fixated on it until I could do it. I match it with drums because every step in drums is about having your body to do things your brain doesn't want it to, especially in the beginning.

I like to think of things like yoga, meditation, and prayer as a messy abstraction layer for controlling the parts of your body you normally can not. Created over millenniums of black-box reverse engineering by people of different levels of skill and honesty who are not sharing their results. One of the things guided meditation, and hypnotists will do is have you purposely relax each muscle group one at a time. Though for a specific twitch, that really depends on what is causing it.

I wish there was more skeptical, but open minded research into ancient practices. It seems it's all either people who blindly believe in their flavor of magic, or people who go in assuming it's nonsense and miss the step between the action and the result.

To put it more succinctly, mind over matter is enough of an issue that we have double blind studies to account for the placebo effect.
It's not new, but I just read Neverness by David Zindell. I had a similar feeling with his invented language. He actually does it so realistically that sometimes I couldn't tell when the words were invented and when they were just archaic.
What is your understanding of meditation, any differences in comparing to just doing nothing?
I love early Gibson but his last few books read like watered down Brett Easton Ellis and I haven't been able to finish reading any of them.

How do you build a business in the shadow of AWS, GCP, and Azure as a startup? How do you find the white spaces? What areas have they over/under invested in? What other startups are doing in those spaces?
