Eat This Much | Lead Algorithms Engineer, Full stack engineer | full-time | FULLY REMOTE (U.S. only for now) | https://www.eatthismuch.com/

Eat This Much enables you to put your diet on autopilot. You tell us about your goals, budget, and schedule, and we generate a complete meal plan and grocery list to help you reach those goals.

Our company is centered around a set of algorithms that can automatically plan a user's meals, and we're constantly looking for ways to speed them up, improve the recommendations, and more accurately optimize on the user's nutrition targets.

We're looking for someone with experience in optimization algorithms, and building fast, scalable systems. Experience with machine learning is a bonus.

As the Lead Algorithms Engineer, you'll work with us on improving our core product. Our backend is currently written in Golang, and we're looking for someone with significant experience writing Go, though if you can pick it up quickly and otherwise have strong experience in either Java or Python, that works too. We're also looking for a full-stack dev to work with us on building out our Django webserver backend.

Long term, we want to do for eating what the GPS did for driving. Straightforward suggestions on what you can eat next to hit your goals, with automatic rerouting if you ever go off course.

You can reach me a louis [at] eatthismuch [dot] com or see more details here: https://angel.co/company/eat-this-much/jobs/223925-lead-algo...

No, Sci-hub and the arxiv was always an option for people in developing countries.

All that's changed for researchers now is they have to fork over a factor or two or more to publish in the same journals as a few years ago.
That's what it costs buying the parts from them.

$750 laptop, $360 RAM, $1000 SSD. The RAM is pretty reasonably priced, but you can get your own 4TB SSD for about $500 less. $150 less if you want the exact same model they're selling.

It's a much more reasonable level of markup than RAM/SSD upgrades from other manufacturers, though of course being able to bring your own is a major selling point.
Fairly poor management to run damage control on a story very few are familiar with. And how exactly is the theory dangerous to "them"? If true, they have the keys to power, they have the financial and political capital needed to weather any culture war, and a literal army of bots to make sure they win. If the dead internet theory is true anyone promoting it is powerless to change things, so why would those in power waste time fighting them?
How does Rust compare in that regard? Will 3 year old non-trivial rust code build/run without issues?

Such a shame he stopped writing this stuff - nowadays it's just book reviews.
What makes you think those "non-AOT C# (and java)" have a "warming up" time that isn't included in the run time measurement?
Yes, though less on the language specifically and more on the ecosystem.

Javascript library maintainers should not be berated like they (we) are when types are not added to libraries, for example, but these days it's an unspoken requirement.

The section on art collecting highlights the limitations of an economics-based approach to defining "talent." Cowen is an economist and this colors his entire approach.

“You learn about other cultures, you learn different points of view by refining your eye and you develop a skill that is extremely useful for judging other things and cracking cultural codes in other settings. It’s an education in market economics - art markets. Like how do you buy the best pictures in an area Haitian art, or how do you assemble a very good voodoo flag collection? How do you get artists in Mexico to do their best work for you? That’s a business problem that you need to solve.

You want experience at solving a broad diversity of problems, to heighten your aesthetic sense, to learn some real history, and to understand how some of the art world works, surround yourself with beauty.

And you should buy it for the love of the art, and try to find that which other people have not really found or appreciated yet. It’s just like the world of ideas right? It is the world of ideas. It just costs more to play in it in terms of upfront dollar commitments.” [Tyler Cowen: Production Function. David Perrell, North Star Podcast.]

Relying on markets and the opinions of others may be effective in determining current economic value, but it is not a fruitful approach for finding "talent", broadly defined. Contemporary art is an excellent place to observe this phenomenon; there is very little connection between "aesthetic value" and "market value." The art market is a fascinating thing, but make no mistake, the most popular artists are not the most "talented", by whatever definition of talent you may have.

"Slow is the experience of all deep fountains: long have they to wait until they know what hath fallen into their depths. Away from the marketplace and from fame taketh place all that is great: away from the marketplace and from fame have ever dwelt the devisers of new values."

- Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra
I desperately want this to succeed as well. Enough that I've got a preorder that's supposed to ship this week.

I'm willing to take the gamble. Sometimes you have to help fund the change you want to see in the world.

Also speaking as a UK immigrant to Switzerland, Brexit hasn't changed anything and hasn't been a pain at all. If anything it's brought the UK closer to Switzerland because it's now got a friend who's also outside the UK and is big in financial services, so there have been lots of quick deals and collaborations signed between the two countries. But beyond that it makes no difference to my life.

Now it seems maybe you mis-understand the rules, which may be why you're claiming it's had a big impact on you when it should not. There are two things to recall:

1. The rights to a work permit only changed from January of this year. Everyone resident before that retains their prior rights. As you say you're soon going to apply for citizenship you presumably already have a work permit, so it's irrelevant - the grandfathering arrangement would apply for you.

2. Schengen rules say you must have ID with you at all times, even for internal travel. It's not well enforced so often people don't realize this, but you have always needed national ID like a passport not only to cross borders, but in theory, to go anywhere at all, even locally. Obviously the latter is ignored all the time but that's what the rules say. Also, the UK has never been a part of Schengen, and the UK leaving doesn't affect Schengen rules or Switzerland's application of them, so there's genuinely no change here.

> There is no freedom like living below your means.

I agree.
I mean, you can compare the performance of different grant programs against each other. But it's worth noting that Emergent Ventures is not very widely publicized, even by Cowen himself.

It's easier to take him at his own word - the program is so effective because the audience is self selected:

> “I try to stay a bit weird and obscure enough that mostly quite smart people are writing me. If I had too many not smart emails I would feel that I was doing something else wrong with what I’m writing.” … “The rate of good applications is reasonably high. Maybe I’m lowering it just by talking about the program.”

If there's anything that the past 20 years of American Capitalism has taught us: these companies should all merge, integrate their hardware and software, and then get a bunch of VC money until they are the single, truly-free personal hardware vendor in the market.
Moderna reveals source of Covid-19 vaccine contamination
I agree with (some) of this. Companies are always going to be free to find alternatives if they're motivated to do so, but the cost of this subscription model is a drop in the bucket for a lot of larger firms, and there's nothing wrong with supporting a company that maintains and develops a critical piece of your infrastructure (in fact it's quite savvy).

I sometimes worry that we've gotten too used to free things, whether those things are youtube videos, articles by journalistic institutions or pieces of software. I'm hardly an exception here -- I too wince when I see a paywall in front of an article, but people need to be able to sustain themselves when they create things that benefit others. It's hard the reconcile the paradox of wanting high quality things without paying for it.
I doubt they have Newegg's purchasing power, at this juncture, and their prices really aren't unreasonable like they would be if you upgrade a Dell or Apple.
Wild to me that '06 is cited as internet-old, and I'm a relative newcomer (post BBS era) myself.

You probably shouldn’t deploy an one-SSID model for your home network.

Not many kernel can separate traffic within a single SSID (even if you did use VLAN, tcpdump on a malicious IoT can still view the traffic.

Better to have four to seven SSID, each mapped to a subnet. Make one subnet/SSID for encrypted MAC with laptops.

Cable TV, Smart TV, power-line LAN adapters, smart lightbulbs and webcams should go on separate SSID/subnet.

Portrait | Cofounding CTO | Remote-first

I'm in the early innings of developing the product I would have killed to have in my 10+ years as a hedge fund analyst, and am looking for a technical leader to join me in pioneering the next generation of investment research.

Portrait (placeholder name) empowers investors to build a deep understanding of a company in a fraction of the time. Today, investment analysts spend dozens of hours reading through hundreds of pages of filings to piece together the "narrative" of a company (i.e. the story behind the evolution of the business and its key metrics). Portrait makes this learning process frictionless by 1) extracting and summarizing key financial and textual data and 2) delivering this curated content in an intuitive terminal-based UI. Armed with Portrait, analysts can dramatically expand the number of opportunities diligenced per year.

While early, we are having conversations with multiple funds interested in becoming both pilot customers and seed investors.

The right technical cofounder for this business is someone with extensive NLP experience and is energized by building a novel end-to-end application. I'm currently speaking with potential partners, and would love to connect with anyone who is excited by this venture. Email me at davidlplon@gmail.com
Strateos(YC W15) | Backend Software Engineers | Menlo Park, CA | https://strateos.com | FULL TIME; ONSITE & REMOTE

Strateos is turning life science into an information technology by creating a fully automated cloud wet lab. Scientists anywhere can define and (reproducibly!) run experiments over the internet on-demand and without investing up-front in a lab facility.

The Strateos Common Lab Environment (SCLE) takes Autoprotocol (http://autoprotocol.org/), a high-level JSON description of a biological protocol, and executes it on our custom-built robotic workcells. The protocols we handle routinely involve solving constraint programming models with thousands of variables and constraints in order to find the best plan that fulfills the scientist's biological intent.

Scientists manage their experiments through our web application or via our API. We provide a single platform that controls scientific devices from many vendors in a unified way, and an interface to control our automated labs.

Tech stack includes: Linux, Scala, RabbitMQ, Rails, Typescript, React, Ansible, Postgres

Benefits include: full medical/dental/vision insurance; catered lunch and dinner and a fully stocked kitchen when onsite; flexible vacation policy; 401(k) with matching; gym and commuter reimbursement; and education reimbursement up to $3,000/year.

Ask HN: Where am I suppose to go when Hacker News is down?
Hacker news is where most hackers think to go when a service they use is down.

Earlier today hackernews was down for a short period, leaving the million dollar question, where do you go when hacker news is down?
Inflation is a tax on cash. It's how the government can spend money without increasing explicit taxes. I don't hold any cash because of this.

However, asset inflation is not quite the solution it seems, as the government taxes the illusory capital "gains" due to inflation. I suspect the stock market surge over the last year is mostly fake inflation gains.
Hey fellow Southern Fried attendee! I'm glad we were able to do it this year. The room set aside for the vintage computers was great.
Not OP, but I'd say, sure why not. Why does it have to be productive? It's arguably yet another paternalistic government intervention in the form of tweaking and twiddling with economic and regulatory knobs.

My problem is less that it is happening but how we got here.

If docker desktop was originally subscription based or they said that they wanted to make it subscription based later than the reaction would be very different.

But Docker as a company has failed multiple times now to attempt to make money and this feels like a hostage situation by taking away a tool that many now rely on.

They tried to go the support route like RedHat and others, but who needed just Docker support? Especially when there orchestration layer was basically DOA with k8s available.

Last year (?) they started limiting pulls from docker hub unless you paid up. Which spawned companies like AWS to announce their own free alternative/mirror.

At some point with in the last few months they made it so without paying I was forced to update docker desktop or constantly have to click snooze. I was perfectly happy with what it was currently doing and had no desire to update. But they added that artificial limitation after release.

Now they are charging for something that was once free without really explaining any benefits?

I think the reaction is perfectly valid given the companies track record.

There are likely other examples they have tried but likely just didn't notice. Since Docker is in a situation where docker itself is just not what most of us really think about. It is the orchestration and docker is just a path to that.

Edit: Also not super enthused about the idea that I now need to ask during a job interview what software I will be able to have locally for part of my workflow.
In this case Docker's approach serves you well, as you are not expected to pay the subscription fee if your company has less than 250 people.
Fair enough, I thought it was snark so I responded with snark.

I think you should try both. Lisp as a language gives you a lot more freedom than Clojure, but Clojure has a more consistent and elegant language design. Clojure focuses on mostly-pure functional programming with immutable data structures, while Lisp lets you do pretty much anything anywhere, including hacking deep into the runtime itself (Clojure lets you do this to some extent too, but not as much as Lisp).

Some videos that are worth viewing, which together I think provide a good sense of how the languages differ:

- "Common Lisp for the Curious Clojurian" by Alan Diepert. A very lucid side-by-side comparison of Clojure and Common Lisp; assumes some but doesn't really require much knowledge of Clojure. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44Q9ew9JH_U

- "Maybe Not" by Rich Hickey. An unusual but thoughtful take on "types" in programming, which I think cuts to the heart of what Clojure is all about. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YR5WdGrpoug

- "Immutable Conversations - Common Lisp" interview with Alejandro Serrano and Michał "phoe" Herda. Demonstrates the deep programmability and flexibility of the Common Lisp runtime, including its unique "condition system". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkqQq2Hwt5o
Tyler clearly brings:

- Intense curiosity

- Deep knowledge of economics

- Strong interpersonal skills

- Risk taking bias - e.g. focus on MR was a significant risk for him

No surprise that he's exceptionally good at identifying and backing talent in this way.
Airtable | San Francisco/Mountain View CA; New York, NY; Austin TX | Onsite | Software Engineer (many roles), Data Engineer, Data Scientist, SRE, Engineering Manager

[COVID-19: All employees are 100% remote until at least January 2022; we are evaluating when resuming in-office work makes sense, with employee safety as the top priority.]

Airtable's mission is to democratize software creation by enabling anyone to build tools that meet their unique needs. So far, we've built a real-time collaborative database and a rich set of components that enable applications and workflows to be assembled around that database. Unlike single-purpose apps, we think of Airtable as a toolkit of building blocks that people repurpose to create their own applications.

To give a flavor of our approach to product design, here's a blog post describing how we made Airtable's lightweight scripting layer: https://airtable.news/creating-a-scripting-environment-for-a...

We believe strongly in continuously improving our codebase and practices, even when it takes ambitious effort. Here's a blog post about how we ported a million lines of our code from Flow to Typescript:
https://medium.com/airtable-eng/the-continual-evolution-of-a...

We're hiring software engineers for web (JavaScript + TypeScript, Node, React), iOS (Objective-C, Swift), and Android, as well as data engineering, data science, SRE, and many other roles.

We're a team with diverse backgrounds. We believe in the power of highly motivated and capable individuals to accomplish great things in small teams, with end-to-end ownership of projects and rapid iteration.

A hypothesis still must precede a trial, and many hypotheses are formed based on an understanding of fundamental concepts/mechanisms and prior studies.

Studies are still required because a hypothesis is just that - a hypothesis - but I wouldn't completely dismiss a discussion of the mechanism, because this may still provide meaningful context and/or help form an initial understanding of risk before having real study results.
