SEEKING WORK - Contract, Remote, based in NYC area, backend engineer

I am a backend expert, having built and maintained highly available systems for several companies over the last 5 years, in addition to over 20 total years of software development experience.

Availability: About 20 concentrated hours per week
The ideal engagement at this point would be with a firm that expects to need team-level help and wants to try me out as the lead for that on a smaller initial project.

You will like working with me because I:

* hold your goals as my priorities
* communicate verbosely yet synthesize well
* my rates are reasonable in exchange for the value I deliver
* I guarantee I will get the job done

Concrete examples:
* built a ~50 node, Dockerized, Terraform-deployed distributed system to provide realtime, transformed trade data from crypto exchanges to a Kafka pipeline and data lake (fodder for an analytics platform). Met 5000msec SLA across arbitrarily many exchanges and ticker symbols. Blue-green deployment for complete CICD safety. Cloudwatch metrics proved SLA was met and provided general system oversight.
* built a framework to collapse dozens of singleton ETL programs into one config-driven, simple C# application performing the same functionality at ~80% reduction in maintenance cost year over year.
* built and managed a team of 8 engineers operating against multiple streams of work to meet business needs, with ~12 active projects at a time.

> I don't understand why this would give someone anxiety attack

What can you do to understand why this happens?
I agree that it is simple (i.e., the Displays pane of System Preferences) but the result IMHO is unpleasantly blurry.

These days, fonts, SVG images, CSS, etc, are stored as mathematical descriptions of curves that can be rendered at any scaling factor. Any use of a scaling algorithm, like MacOS does when the scaling factor is not an integer multiple of the display's true resolution, is an unnecessary source of blurriness. A HiDPI display make the blurriness less noticeable, but do not solve the basic problem, which is that the scaling algorithm reduces the "effective resolution" of the display.

(I have never used a HiDPI display with a desktop OS, but another participant here on HN has and reported that he notices MacOS's blurriness relative to Windows even on a HiDPI display.)
Stripe | Cloud Security Engineer | Remote (US/Canada) | Full-time

The Cloud Security team defines security primitives and guardrails to allow our colleagues to quickly and confidently build for Stripe’s users. Our scope includes cloud security architecture, data-driven definition of security baselines, centralized controls, and strategic direction of security efforts for our cloud environment.

Our team is working on some really interesting and cross-cutting projects! Recently, we've been exploring AWS SCPs to enforce proper service usage across our fleet of accounts, writing detections to flag misconfigured cloud resources, and integrating Terraform scanning tools in our CI/CD pipelines to prevent those misconfigurations in the first place.

We have two roles open: Software Engineer[0] and Staff Engineer. These roles do require software development experience.

Applying: If you're interested, please apply directly via the links below (you can also email me at "fuller" @ [company name] so I can tag your application internally). I'm happy to answer questions via email as well (I am the hiring manager for these roles).

[0] Note: The Software Engineer, Security role is a generalist role in which you'd be considered across multiple teams (including Cloud Security). You can discuss your preferences with the recruiter during the initial call.

Plenty of remote execution bugs found every year in major software that could lead to much bigger problems. Sure, this could lock up your computer, but the ActiveX program itself could actually send data out, just like what can be (and is frequently) done with RCE bugs.
This would only be correct if stickiness (the DAU/MAU ratio) were around 3%, i.e. if each MAU only visited once per month.
I once linked a video on my YouTube channel in a comment which was a reply to the top comment on a thread.

My YouTube channel gets hardly any views, but that one day I got perhaps 100-200 hundred views.

But the knock-on effect was great (although small), YT finally started recommending my video to others, and I was averaging between 1-3 views a day. It’s tapered off now to a handful of views a week.
What it seems impossible? You can easily implement 0-overhead coroutines yourself with macros and the duff device. They are just cumbersome.

Chris proposal was "just" syntactic sugar over that. He went so far as producing a working implementation on a clang branch. The most important difference to what was eventually standardized is that the coroutine object is a non type erased value type (basically very similar to a lambda, and in fact an extension on top of it). The big issue is that it was very hard to use safely as the address of local variables could potentially change between invocations if the coroutine is copied around.

"Don’t get me wrong: I love to read. But what ticks me off is when a specific behavior gets taken out of context and fetishized."

Ha, my hot take - book lovers love to have an item/collectible rather than the content. It's mostly signaling and, for some people, reading is quite fun (a nice bonus!).

No wonder - the numbers of active readers are very low, but all those self-help gurus and experts praising books are doing a disservice to the point of reading books - enjoying them, highlighting, making it your own. Later a problem arises - some of my friends complained that they don't remember a lot from read books. Of course, since reading is A RiTuAl!

It's amusing when I say that 'I hate books'. But usually I read more (books) than my peers, I just don't like the form factor of the book. It's heavy, making notes is clunky compared to Kindle or any other ereader. I don't care about all that fluff and 'smell of paper'.

Reminds me of this funny twitter drama when one author was cutting big books into smaller pieces: https://www.vice.com/en/article/bvgmxd/cutting-books-in-half...

I've got decades of experience as a software engineer. Most recently I've been doing a lot of Rust - picked it up in 2015 - and that's a technology I want to keep in my next role.
Perhaps things have changed since I last poked at this, so, standard disclaimers, take my comments with a grain of salt, etc.

GPU acceleration is not a magic "go fast" machine. It only works for certain classes of embarrassingly parallel algorithms. In a nutshell, the parallel regions need to be long enough that the speedup from doing them in the GPU's silicon outweighs the relatively high cost of getting data into and out of the GPU.

That's a fairly easy scenario to achieve with neural networks, which have a pretty high math-to-data ratio. Other machine learning algorithms, not necessarily. But basically all of them can benefit from the CPU's vector instructions, because they live in the CPU rather than out on a peripheral, so there's no hole you need to dig yourself out of before they can deliver a net benefit.

I would also say that what academics are doing is not necessarily a good barometer for what others are doing. In another nutshell, academics' professional incentives encourage them to prefer the fanciest thing that could possibly work, because their job is to push the frontiers of knowledge and technology.

Most people out in industry, though, are incentivized to do the simplest thing that could possibly work, because their job is to deliver software that is reliable and delivers a high return on investment.

My understanding is that AMD regularly contributes to the Linux kernel for their CPU and GPU lines. How would they do this without Linux engineers?
Not sure what you're talking about, there was definitely evidence of voter fraud.

Not on a large scale, but still voter fraud.

It just happened to be from the party that complains about voter fraud non-stop, ironically projection, and gets zero media coverage.

In the event it does get media coverage, it's typically presented in skewed or twisted way.

For example, an Arizona audit found 99 non-counted votes for the current president, and 261 falsified votes for the challenger.

Instead of stating this outright, the number one cable news channel in the United States briefly mentioned it as "360 votes found for the current president" - no mention of the falsified votes of the loser.

A bit dirty, dont you think?

Accelerating scikit-learn is a smart move. At the algorithmic level for every ML use case there is probably x 10 non-ML data science projects. Also, it is good to have a true community framework that does not depend on the success of the metaverse for funding ;-)

The lock-in is an important consideration, but if the scikit-learn API is fully respected it would seem less relevant. It also suggests a pattern for how other hardware vendors could accelerate scikit-learn as a genuine contribution?
All that may be true; we'll have to see if society kicks up enough of a fuss. I hope it does in this case.

I'm not sure how you get from "this university did a bad thing" to "we should get rid of public universities", though.

Seems pretty questionable as to whether due diligence was done given the first indicator neighbors had of the sale was after the transaction occurred. At least in the U.S. it's typically pretty tough to miss that a house is up for sale - signage, open houses, realtors showing up to give tours. Curious how this buyer even connected with the seller.

I'm graduating with a BS in Computer Science in the spring. My background is mostly operations stuff (I've done a lot of Windows/Linux/Mac system administration, and have worked with most of the tooling in that space). I'm looking for something closer to development these days though (they usually call those DevOps engineers, whatever that means :D).
> Mass population is moved by fear, but is that how concordance is manufactured across the executives of a set of countries: a few terrifying top-secret presentations, and IC has successfully reputation-assassinated a foreign company? Why would these countries agree if there was no breach and a cheaper price? What offer or threat besides a more expensive but more secure infra? I suppose if you view telcoinfra as defense assets then it's a no-brainer, but was this the calculus? Blackmail/Mafioso-tactics would be a good one, maybe: You have to buy from us, or we will reveal/do such-and-such horrible thing.

there are for sure plenty of pro Huawei apologists on the internet. It would be absurd to let a foreign power control critical telecom infrastructure, for that reason alone the decisions to ban and replace foreign gear is merited.

How many journalists in China are you aware of that have investigated Chinese state interference in their technology companies, and reported on it? Yes western intelligence agencies do make use of western technology companies from time to time. I still think it's obvious that China is willing to go much, much further in the control it exercises. In fact exercising complete control over all aspects of business is official party doctrine.

This is a pretty limited tool, but in the last year it's caught the attention of people dismayed by low CD and savings account rates.

In that context, the argument is that this can be a good place to keep an emergency fund, provided one has enough emergency cash in other places to bridge the first year before the I Bond can be first redeemed. The withdrawal penalty between years 1-5 is 3 months of interest, so not terrible if being withdrawn in an emergency.

No one's getting rich off this instrument, but it could be a good low hanging fruit option for some.
