Percona | Senior Backend Software Engineer (Go) | REMOTE-ONLY | https://jobs.lever.co/percona/8b602d61-550a-4780-8166-3abcd9...

This is an amazing opportunity to build something from the ground up and integrate our existing Client/Server products with Cloud to deliver a new wave of services and functionality to our users. While this role will work with Golang, we will consider exceptional senior-level backend software engineers who don't yet have Golang experience but have worked across multiple languages and want to gain Go experience.

Percona is a highly-respected thought leader in the global open source community. We provide services and software for MySQL, MongoDB, PostgreSQL and MariaDB. We are remote-only and globally dispersed; we have colleagues in more than 40 countries.
yah, washing produce thoroughly also helps reduce (but doesn't eliminate) the extra chemicals. these couple precautions don't add too much mental/physical burden, imo.
Dont forget the part where there was no shoulder, and barriers prevent pulling off of the highway.
> They aren’t sticky enough on their own to avoid people just installing the next one. I think I have used 10 of the things at various points but SMS and email are still massively more popular.

That works in a different way. Today you have WhatsApp and Signal. 95% of your friends are on WhatsApp and 5% are on Signal. Now let's say Signal starts taking over. In five years it's the other way around. This is possible because you can install them both on the same device during the transition.

If you buy a kind of phone that can run Signal but not WhatsApp at the time when 95% of your friends are still on WhatsApp, that doesn't work. You're not going to buy that phone right now because your friends haven't moved yet and won't for another five years.

First you have to spend five years getting everyone to switch messaging apps, and even then you can only switch platforms if the next messaging app to become popular runs on the new platform, which it generally doesn't, because nobody writes apps for platforms nobody uses and nobody uses platforms with no apps.

The usual solution to this is something like wine that allows you to run the old platform's apps on the new platform. But Google prevents that by encouraging third party apps to have dependencies on SafetyNet or some other Google services or code that the new platform can't easily implement as a result of excessive complexity or legal restrictions.
You can run a script to do it for you, you don't even have to know what SQLite is, you just need to go on xda and run the script that makes Google Pay work.

Although I would argue that these concerns only apply to regular users who wouldn't bother rooting their phones in the first place. Most people who root their phones are willing to run scripts and know they need to be a bit hacky to make stuff work.

Users who are not willing to take that view shouldn't be rooting.
During an ongoing chip shortage too.
Eh, I think I managed something close to the max around that time on pretty average hardware.

The current version goes to 10, open powershell and run Get-CimInstance Win32_WinSat. On that, I have an 8.1 on my SSD, and 9+ on everything else despite an 8 year old CPU.
Yes, it's nuts.

The moment that younger generations realize that inflation reduces debt, I predict that, ummm, the baton will be firmly gripped, yanked, and the equilibrium will shift hard in the opposite direction. Then we'll have a different set of problems.
Which is especially ignorant considering that Nestlé is not even a US company.
I watched the General Magic documentary couple years back... I'm sure it was just my perception, and maybe the video editing, but by what I recall it looked like they mostly goofed off and it was more a think-tank than actually building stuff. It's possible the video was cut this was to align with the "fun, silicon valley" narratives. Perhaps others felt the same who saw the documentary?
No, multiple cores can't run the code of the same cell in parallel. The key here is that these cores run in lockstep, so the program counter is the is the exact same for all cells being run at once. In practice, each core supports 32 (or sometimes 64) cells at a time. There is also no syncing required for dFdX! Since the quads ran in lockstep, the results are guaranteed to be computed at the same time. In practice, these are all computed in vector SIMD registers, and a dFdX simply pulls a registers from another SIMD lane.

If you want to execute more tasks than this, throw more cores at it.
> Even text rendering of input seemed to have a bit of a delay

Modern Office has animated text input which has distinctly different feel. Not sure if it is actually slower though.
>If you are going to make such unequivocal statements you should back them up with sources, otherwise you are just adding more noise than signal.

You're correct. But as I am not on my personal machine, my catalog isn't available to me and the time it would take to recall all those URLs I don't have. There's good news, however, my statements aren't novel and are very easily backed by less than 3 minutes between a web search and Wikipedia. I hope you hold the author of this article, as well as those within the group mentioned, to the same standard as they have also supplied no reputable sources.
You don't need to wait any longer. NVIDIA updated their driver for full Wayland support a few months ago.
Yep. GitLab's support for Mermaid in markdown is pretty nice. I'm looking into making my experiments with a Kroki server more official, at which point we'll have a robust platform for markdown-based, repo-internal, embedded-diagram-supporting docs.
Hundreds of scam apps hit over 10M Android devices
I’m again speaking from a US perspective but there is no situation here where moving away from the police is not considered provocative from their viewpoint.

I would fully expect to be choked, body slammed, and cuffed if I attempted to walk away from the cops. I live in a fairly affluent area and am not a minority and still have seen local cops do things like start screaming at people for not maintaining eye contact, or in a particular notable event an off duty not in uniform cop who ran a car off the road and pulled a gun on them for not giving them right of way in a traffic circle.

If you have cops that would let you move to a safer location after they interact with you, it’s nearly unbelievable from our experiences
It’s not about reducing substances–it is about substances that are healthy.
Tell HN: A warning not to use namecheap.com – they'll steal your domain,
So I was out for a run and thought I'd check a domain name.

Here's a screenshot from my web browser history on my phone, note the date Monday 27th September.

https://imgur.com/a/Hymwg27

This morning I thought I'd consider the domain name again, but now it's no longer available. Here's a screengrab from whois - note the date 28th September.

https://imgur.com/a/A5meq6d

Look I knew the risk but I didn't really think it likely - but here you have it - hard evidence (we'll hard enough to convince me) that namecheap will stgeal any good domain you search in their site.

Try doing a google search on "namecheap stole my domain".
The whole chain of events that led to this advice is so sad. Rest in peace Sarah.

My view is that undercover police should have a surveillance only role. Arresting or even approaching members of the public should be reserved for uniformed officers.
Even if that is accurate(source?), quantity applied says nothing about the danger of the substance to humans.
>I mean, have you read anything about Roundup? If so, how can you say that?

What specifically about Roundup are you referring to?
Nobody wants to layoff 90% of staff as CEO, so it is understandable to put it off for as long as possible. It's hard to admit things are that bad. If they did the layoffs early enough to have enough cash to pay severance, then this story would have come out months ago. Instead, the CEO held out hope that a deal would come through to make it no longer his problem. The deal fell through, and now they've burned through the cash that could have been used for severance. So instead of severance, they kept their jobs that much longer which is essentially what severance is meant to cover.

I'm not excusing CEO's behavior. It was 100% poorly managed. However, it is a learnable lesson for others that could be in this position. This is a forum full of startups or hopefuls. Not all startups will succeed. There are tough decisions to be made. Nobody will be happy about potential loss of their job. There's always the decision to keep people informed with the potential of panic ship jumping vs going all in on a bet of selling the company.
If I believed this article were true, then I'd be in favor of giving up on all efforts to be more environmentally friendly, since they have a cost but wouldn't be enough to make a difference, and what it would take to make a difference would completely ruin everyone's lives.
> But Apple, Google, and Amazon are now creating their own ARM CPUs for their own products. So most of FAANG, all if you count the ones with consumer products.

The F in FAANG - Facebook - has consumer products (notably, the Oculus VR headset).

Also Netflix spun out their consumer product into another company (Roku).
Is namecheap owned by goDaddy? What am I missing?
I'm not sure it's unreasonable for a police agency to provide guidance for people who could be afraid of the police. People who fear police have worse outcomes than thoes that dont. They have a vested interest in creating positive outcomes. Reminding people it's reasonable to run from someone in plainclothes claiming they have authority when they're making you afraid is a good idea.
You can say that about anything. The point here is that buying a Model S/X for 100k instead of buying two Model Y cannot be defended by performance metrics alone.
The person who created gab is a HN alum (although he was "kicked out")
No, supporting most of anything doesn't mean having the one random thing you need as a certainty. But also yes, messages are transferrable.
I had some early and couldn't stomach the ups and downs back then, and that was when we were at $30 or so.

Then the exchanges would routinely shit the bed (or get wiped out completely) any time it was a good time to get out. Lookin' at you, YC funded startup Coinbase. And it continues to be that way.

My money is in real estate and I sleep better at night. Much better.
LTE will give you a datapoint roughly every 2 minutes. Accuracy will depend on the density of the LTE towers (150m - 2km). So besides Google, FB, etc. Telecom operators also play a role in this space. Remember that GPS might not always be turned on while your phone pinging cell phone towers happens all the time.
With future 5G implementations this accuracy will be even further increased because the antenna range is short and the density will be much larger.
It is gambling and knowing myself I'll either become obsessed over it or lose money. Or both. :P
I dont really consider giving money to MS a 'goody goody' thing to do.
The crack is super simple, you install windows so it uses a key management server for its DRM. The crack just fakes a KMS server and tells windows "yep yer good, you have a license." You have to do it every 6 months or something.

I think of pirate stuff like open source software. I'm not personally going to go through every download with a fine tooth comb looking for malware. But other members of the community will do that. I trust the pirate community way more than I'd trust any corp. In fact even if I buy something, I like to download and actually use the pirate version, cus often-times the cracker removes the spyware and shit that's included in the official release.
In my opinion that sounds like a problem with the engineers manager and the managers boss. If your company culture supports it, the entire team can escalate to the managers boss and have the manager seek new opportunities elsewhere. If the culture does not support skip-level escalations, then the entire team should go elsewhere.
As a German, this name evokes feelings of nostalgia and tense anticipation
If you have a rooted phone you probably have Magisk, it's virtually the universal go to rooting app and the easiest method of rooting. You can even still get OTA's if your phone uses the A/B update system like basically every modern Android phone.

It is managed through a simple UI that automates most of this stuff for you, and it also has a library of third party extensions you can install as easy as apps from the Play Store that apply various system mods including the Google Pay hack.

Anyone who cannot work out how to use Magisk is unlikely to have a rooted phone in the first place. As I said, Magisk is the easiest and most common rooting method used these days because it is the most simple and convenient.
OP talks at length about being hacked. This, of course, would ring some alarm bells as far as protecting their user base.

Then, you post this contact form, which is not protected by https.

So, google is not dev-friendly. We know that. We have seen legitimate horror stories.

However, at what point should google step in and protect their customer base from folks who do not care about their safety?
It applies to plainclothes policemen...

Basically a random person stopping/coming up to you and saying they're police asking for id and to search you / whatever...

I've personally had an encounter like this long time ago where I just ran away, was stopped by uniformed officers a small distance away, explained I was scared and just got a thorough search / left alone.

You would be wise to be afraid in situations like this, especially in dark areas. If someone asks for ID or time, light, etc, it's likely a pretense to get close enough to mug you. (see if phone is worth it, or in the past if there's money in wallet)
> The problem is that "better" is being defined by the companies spreading the marketing propaganda about their products

Partially, but I don't think this is nearly as big of a factor as lots of FOSS people on the internet these days seem to think. Remember that RMS wrote a lot of the original GNU tools by himself and wrote the beginnings of GCC. Stallman could have just chosen to reject C and not write GCC altogether the way a lot of modern FOSS advocates seem to act about rejecting closed software. Unix and C could have been cast as proprietary enemies to reject, but he understood at the time that to gain traction, FOSS needed software that was usable for similar purposes as proprietary software. We can cry conspiracy all day but the hard work of building good products is what ultimately wins the day.

(Network effects on modern social/messaging platforms are a much more complicated story however.)
>But is it really “alarmism” to yell at people inside a house on fire that they need to “get the hell out now!”

OK, I did use the wrong word there (looking it up, "alarmism" carries different connotations to what I thought), but frankly that's beside the point.

If you want to enact real change (getting people out of the building), and yelling at them about how they're going to die for 4 hours straight has been ineffective, perhaps it's time to try a different strategy.
> a good nothing-up-my-sleeve definition is the Google one

Now try “barbaric”. Definition two: “primitive; unsophisticated” [1]. (Sorry, could not help it.)

> these words connote cruelty

Never argued it didn’t. My original comment uses the same word.

You have 0% energy added by having one Model x/S. How impractical it is, fine: but, the fact you might be able to do it in the future gives model y’s cars the better decision over one Model X/S
Inflation isn't measured in house prices. If you even tried to make that a major factor, you'd get ridiculously different measures of inflation in different cities.
In enterprise context I'd assume most of the upgrades would happen with regular device replacement cycles.
Nitpick: relative speed differences do not add up; they multiply. A speed of 70 is 40% faster than a speed of 50, and a speed of 100 is 42.8571…% faster than a speed of 70 (corrected from 50. Thanks, mkl!). Conversely, a speed of 70 is 30% slower than a speed of 100, and a speed of 50 is 28.57142…% slower than one of 70.

=> when comparing speed, 70% is about exactly halfway between 50% and 100% (the midpoint being 100%/√2 ≈ 70.7%)
How have they been making it easier on developers? I frankly think the GNOME documentation went heavily downhill after the release of 40, and their insistence on linking libdwaita makes it even harder for me to write GTK apps that function properly on GNOME. Everything about the transition feels like it was intended to push developers away, to me. I'd be interested to hear your input on it, though.
Stopping gives the police officer a chance to find something else
> Users who are not willing to take that view shouldn't be rooting.

My original point was that a lot of users like this exist, and for these users, all third-party app stores are unfairly inferior.
I understand you went through a very difficult experience being homeless, but I can assure you that Google isn’t interested in you in particular. Google casts a wide net when it collects data, having Waymo vehicles and vans following you (or any other single person) would be rather expensive. They collect data on all of us, just not quite as actively as physical surveillance.

I’ve been in a survival frame of mind before and it can feel like the whole world is against you. It’s hard to trust anyone. Living in a car in SF (or any city) would give me massive anxiety, there’s no “safe place” where you can fully let your guard down.

I know you don’t want to hear this, and have probably heard it before, but your paranoia may be a sign of untreated mental illness. Stress can trigger mental health issues, and treatment may help. I also understand that the medications have some pretty bad side effect profiles, and being labeled mentally ill means you get treated completely different than everyone else (in healthcare in particular) I also understand that your experience of feeling surveilled felt very real to you, the hard part of treating the disorders is that it’s hard to accept what you experience isn’t real, since it’s very real to you.

I encourage you to consider seeking help, but understand why you’d be hesitant. Take care.
I've found police in the UK are generally harder to provoke than in the US. However it only takes one bad cop having a bad day for things to go sideways fast.

At risk of sparking a controversy, I do think the UKs tighter gun control laws help. It means fewer people are carrying guns and thus fewer officers need to be armed. Sure, there's still the other deterrents -- which can be nasty too. But guns can causes a situation to escalate so much faster so mostly removing that from the equation must help matters.
It feels expensive in every respect. Capital to invest, attention to avoid losses, energy to generate and support, adverse effects on other markets (GPUs and storage).

That and it all feels like a house of cards. A house of cards everyone keeps trying to convince themselves is stable and strong.
But other than browsers, mobile phone operating systems, ads, email, search, collaboration software, machine translation systems, mapping, ML hardware, internet video, identity providing, web analytics, autonomous driving, and virtual assistants, what products have the Romans ever executed well on?

I expect the tricky part, or at least a tricky part, is distinguishing an ecDNA circle from healthy chromosomal DNA. More speculatively, bacterial DNA looks kind of similar, and you don't want to indiscriminately kill your gut bacteria.
> Microsoft did not release anything worthy since Windows 2000

Windows 98 was pretty decent. Everybody hated Windows Me.

Windows XP was pretty decent. Everybody hated Windows Vista.

Windows 7 was pretty decent. Everybody hated Windows 8.

Windows 10 is pretty decent. People are hating Windows 11.

And so on and so forth.
I feel that Windows 7 was the best for me as a developer. It had a decent user experience, modern UI without being crazy, good support for development tools and far more stable than earlier versions.

I wish I could still be using windows 7. sigh.

Having an open/closed mind has no affect on whether information is correct.

As a mobile apps developer, this is extremely concerning to me. Google has a big crisis of trust. I no longer feel safe to even have personal apps connected to my real Google account - what if the Developer Account gets banned and my main email, Google Drive and all my life along with it? There were instances of people's entire Google accounts gone. That is catastrophic.

I now believe it is my duty to detract anyone from using Google Play-serviced Android devices. With the way Google treats their developers they should pay the price of shrinking market share.

I hope a change comes and Google starts being a more customer focused company. But they are notorious for providing bad customer support, and I just can't count on it.
