Numida Technologies | Senior Django Backend Engineer | Data Analyst | Kampala, Uganda - Onsite, VISA | Canada - REMOTE | https://numida.com

At Numida we provide meaningful, unsecured working capital loans to small and micro-enterprises in sub-Saharan Africa, currently focused in Uganda. These businesses drive the majority of job creation on the Continent and yet are underserved to the tune of $167B a year. We started Numdia thinking we'd make a dent in this gap by building better data collection systems for existing microfinance institutions but quickly realized that none of our early partners were willing to remove their reliance on steep collateral requirements as security for their loans. We needed to build something entirely new to successfully finance hard-working entrepreneurs without existing wealth to stake as collateral.

We've found a scalable model that combines automation with human review when necessary to drastically reduce costs while maintaining high quality underwriting. We have best-in-class recovery rates above 93% and retention rates in the mid-nineties. We've disbursed north of $2M this year to thousands of clients and despite business impact due to a second round of COVID-related lockdowns have doubled our monthly disbursements in the past 6 months and are projected to more than double again by the end of the year.

We're looking for a Senior Django Backend Engineer and Data Analyst to help us scale our current operations in Uganda and launch in a new geography by the end of the year.
If you're interested please email me directly at ben@numidatech.com with the job you're applying for in the subject line, your resume and why solving the financing gap for micro-enterprises is personally meaningful to you.
Interesting videos but I always assumed they somehow walked since they seem to have legs.
+1 I agree with everything that you just said.

I really like Gibson's prose and also, in my imagination, his almost-no-government, corporate enclave centered world is (probably unfortunately) the pattern for future life. Corporations and elites have won class warfare (control of media and political parties - game over), nothing is going to change that, so accepting life as is, I am very curious what our transition into the future will look like.
I can attest to this; though I've worked almost exclusively at small companies with only a fleeting amount of time spent at a handful of megacorps.

I've gone from intern, to junior, to mid-level, to lead, to senior, to "engineer" to senior, where I stayed for some time, to self-assigned title "grand poobah of slinging bits at switches."

As can be guessed, I've come to the conclusion that at small companies titles simply don't matter much.

As an aside, at one of the megacorps it looked as though my title ceiling would likely be "Architect" as very few programmers appeared to make the lateral switch into management, even with skills upgrading training on their own time.
Many languages side step the problem. With JS-inspired languages like Dart, you are limited to message passing workers. Many high performance concurrency applications are difficult without shared memory support.
Honestly? Because cmake is actually really good.

In spite of being very hampered by a bad bespoke programming language tacked on to its model, it does most of the things a meta-build system needs to do and it does them well, and it does them without needing java or python or basically a TSR server component running in the background to make it fast.
How to Get Shit Done
Some really good points.

Except I do think you are being dramatic and I do think it actually is about “trade offs”.

Still appreciated reading your notes.

At Tessian, we're building machine-intelligent filters to secure enterprise communications. This involves high volume, low latency data processing for some of the world’s largest organisations. Our mission is to keep the world’s most sensitive data private and secure - to do this we're bringing on all stripes of engineer to build out our platform & support our next stage of rocket-ship growth.

Principles we believe in:

- Infrastructure as code (mostly Terraform)

- Unit Testing & Integration Testing (NUnit, PyTest, Mocha)

- Continuous Integration, Continuous Deployment (using Concourse)

- Designing security in (rather than testing for and adding it later)

- Measuring everything (ELK & Prometheus)

- Reproducible builds and environments (if it’s in production, it’s in Docker)

- Cloud Deployments (AWS gives us the flexibility we need to move fast)

- Right tool for the right job (PostgreSQL, Spark/Hadoop, Redis, Elastic Search)
FYI there are apparently 373 in the batch total, so this is roughly 1/4.
Seems very reasonable IMHO!
Given your emphasis on lead, do you have any recommendations for books or blogs to provide insight into how to be such a good leader?

Aha! (https://www.aha.io) | Rails / React / Security | REMOTE

Aha! is the #1 tool for product managers to plan strategy and roadmaps. We serve more than 500,000 users worldwide. We are looking for:

* Experienced full-stack & front end engineers to work on the Aha! product. Our application is built in Ruby on Rails, with some React on the frontend for rich client-side experiences.

Aha! is profitable, you can work from anywhere in North or South America, and we offer excellent benefits. We use our own product to manage our work (which is especially rewarding) and we deploy continuously.

Our entire team has always been 100% remote - in North American timezones so we can collaborate during the work day.

You can view open engineering positions at https://www.aha.io/company/careers/current-openings, and click through to a specific job for our simple application form. Our job postings also have a lot more detail about the team, our values, and what you'd be doing day-to-day.
Lots of discussion here about higher dimensional matrices. The argument is that the dot product is an operation on two arguments, therefore any multidimensional matrix multiplication can be broken down into multiple two dimensional operations. The image offerred is that two vectors define a plane so any two dimensional operation is valid. But how about curved space? Suppose I have two vectorsin curved space-they look like two droopy arrows. How does one calculate this dot product? I guess the the local curvature has to be taken into account. In spherically shaped space, this is a constant, but what about irregularly bent space-like that near an amorphous blob of dark matter? Suppose you are trying to calculate electrostatic potentials or do anything with Maxwell's equations? Currently, we define the curvature of space with gravity or the deflection of light past massive objects. Is there a way to measure the curvature of space locally? Can the curvature of space alter the piezoelectric potential generated by a crystal for example and allow its measurement- I am thinking that a miniscule deformation on a large macroscopic object is multiplied many fold on a property that is distributed over the atomic level and happening in parallel on all the atoms of a crystal.
That's clearly stated, but not well supported by our experience. I agree that many sites are poorly implemented because they're trying to replace browser functionality with poorer versions written in JavaScript. This can be the fault of the service, host, or developer behind the site.

But browsers have not been improving their ability to serve documents.

Besides maybe initial load times (and fewer ads, whizzes, and pops), I get no significant benefit to reading an article with no JavaScript.

I don't get a searchable cache of my document history.

I don't get to swipe it over to some other device to continue reading without relying upon some other service.

I don't get some guarantee that the document will render on any device and that I can send the document to someone else without a url.

I can't highlight or add notes to a document or make corrections and view my (or others') versions of it.

Sure, they're documents, and so I should be able to treat them as such. But I can't. They're not portable. Browsers aren't really great for document management or manipulation. Static sites are just as tied to the browser and host as any app.
There are actually a lot of different forms of wealth tax in the Netherlands.
Even still, PFAS started being used in the 50s. If it took us this long to figure out there is something dangerous about it, chances are a small study would not have found anything either. We’ve had lots of time and a huge N.
Even so, taking the original post in good faith one could assume this also applies to SIPC limits (currently $500k).
I sort of agree, but would say that fairy tale part might be better described as a psychological effect, but still consistent with your questioning it as other than a hard economic fact. What I mean is that the person's psychology may change as they become accustomed to a specific standard of living. For example, if someone grows up driving new BWMs, they might see it as "normal" and not derive as much joy from it as someone who got a new BWM after working for it for years. So it seems that the axiom is specific to an individual and their psyche, which provides provides few beneficial use cases beyond understanding that if people have 'a lot' of money, then money might not be a strong motivator.
In part, because basically anyone [ADDED: who didn't physically work in a high tax state] who didn't actually own property who lived in a high tax state would establish an "address of convenience" in a no income tax state.
... And it would be interesting if those kept their opinion, e.g. stating they had a flu, or whether it changed their opinion
NeRF: Representing Scenes as Neural Radiance Fields for View Synthesis
For TCP this is simple, only allow new connections in one direction.

The better way is to separate networks by vrf, ensuring packets take the right path and go through your dnat rules without possible shortcuts (firewall separation works too, but then you're at the mercy of not fat-fingering any rules)
> This is simply not true. Seniors at FAANG type companies simply dont do that much.

I don’t know where this myth came from, but it’s not true. Aside from the isolated stories about mismanaged FAANG departments that don’t have many responsibilities, FAANG jobs tend to have high standards and high expectations.

FAANG companies don’t pay the highest salaries without expecting high output. The engineers may not be spread thin across many domains like in a startup, but they are expected to have both broad and deep knowledge within their speciality, and to deliver work that meets the highest standards.
QNAP Looks into Patches for OpenSSL Flaws
Care to cite a source to back that up?

Last I checked newer apps like Slack, Discord, VS Code and other market leaders use Electron to run on all platforms. I don't see a whole lot of new purely native desktop apps.

In any case, I use a Linux desktop for work so I'm quite happy either way.
I vow to never put a tardigrade on to a glass surface, watching the little thing struggle for some reason made me feel bad.
Stock prices aren’t necessarily linked to a company being important, unique, or revolutionary.

ASML’s success is highly linked to their ability to stay cutting edge with a very specific technology, and their ability to keep their literal handful of customers.

Amazon, Google, and Apple can kill a bunch of products, lose a bunch of customers, fail at a few projects, do a few things worse than other companies, and still turn a big profit.
The text examples on your site are not great copy. “Something goofed” - “goofing” is something humans do, it’s not a synonym for “broke”.

“We use cookies on Fridays to boost employee morale” - I know it’s meant to sound cute, but the way it’s worded it’s giving me sweatshop vibes.

I’d revisit the text examples used throughout the website, because the idea behind the product is actually neat!

What do these look like? Sounds fascinating
It's a signal from the market ("employer") that what you currently offer is not what they currently value. If you desire greater rewards/ recognition, you need to discover what they value and decide if you want to offer that.

Developers expect that work such as "refactoring", "platform architecture", "R&D", "investing into the future" has some intrinsic value to the business. At the company level, work such as "knowledge sharing", "upskilling the team", "fixing bugs for revenue-generating products", "reassuring management" can be more impactful given their current values and roadmap. You must choose whether to spend your energy working on your priorities or their priorities. Generally, you make more money if you help other people solve their problems rather than your problems.

Or find new partnerships where the two sets overlap, but the highest-earning consultants can fall in love with solving the problems they do have, not the problems they wish they had.
I love the numpad but not as much as the space it takes.

The article doesn't mention k3d (https://k3d.io/) which is a variant of k3s that runs in docker (rather than a VM) - very nice for k8s dev/test on developer workstations.

It integrates very nicely with https://tilt.dev/ also (another very useful tool for k8s related dev/test).
I have worked at a FAANG company and my experience was very much like the poster's. Everyone around me seemed to really heavily weight the expectations placed on folks at each level going up, but nothing was like the actual responsibility levels people had in the orgs I'd worked in before.
