Poka.io | Backend Engineer (Python), iOS Engineer, Product Owner | Montreal, Quebec City, Remote (everywhere in Canada) | https://www.poka.io/en/careers#position

Poka is a connected worker application designed specifically for manufacturers, to empower factory workers with the knowledge and tools they need to improve plant productivity and drive excellence in their manufacturing operations. The company is growing steadily and is backed by leading venture capitalists including manufacturing heavyweight Bosch, 40 North Ventures, and McRock Capital.

Pretty simple, we're looking for backend and iOS developers. I'm not hiring myself but I've found we're pretty open about the qualifications and experience of the applicants: 3-4-5 years of experience, knowledge of client-server application, AWS, etc.

The only important thing is that we're asking for an excellent knowledge of French and English. We're hiring more and more non French speakers in other roles but for now, the core dev team is still mainly French speaking.
Care to share your evaluation, and how it compares to implications for crime and traffic accidents in the evening hours? Or did you already accomplish your goal of calling a large number of people you've never met "utterly clueless"?

>If we can achieve this progress without real political or financial support, think how quickly it could change with it. Rather than trying to power through a headwind, we now have the wind at our backs.

Obviously the idea that climate change (or 99.9% of things really) is capable of driving humanity extinct is absurd; but this is essentially the opposite message and equally wrong. I can imagine what it would be like if we had real political and/or financial support, but I'm not sure that there's a lot of evidence, at least here in the United States, that we're all that close to substantial support in either area.

In all honesty, it's hard to not read this as a technologist/neoliberal hype piece. "We don't have political support or money, but technology and the market will save us."

One thing that's somewhat amusing is the set of examples given to support this narrative. "Coal is effectively dead in many countries." Except that coal being dead in Sweden or France is essentially meaningless when roughly 60-70% of the power in China and India comes from coal. "Renewable prices are falling rapidly." This is mostly looking at solar and wind, which are difficult to implement for a variety of physical reasons regardless of price per kWh. "The price of batteries has fallen by 97 percent in the past 30 years." Except that modern battery storage is still horribly inefficient when compared to, for example, oil or natural gas.

Of course these problems are solvable, but it's hard to see how one could frame this genuinely and in good faith as some kind of net tailwind.
This is a completely reasonable concern.

I’ve been stuck with 185lb on my chest (modest difficulty at the time). I couldn’t lift it due to fatigue. That particular time, I was able to get it onto my lap.

My solution after a few uncomfortable situations was to buy a squat rack with 1 inch safety increments. Rouge fitness sells one. Most racks have 2” safety holes but that’s not enough granularity for full range and safety imo.
I like DST. It prompts me notice the season and reflect on where I've been and where I'm going. That's an upside for me, and for everyone else who likes it for similar reasons. I think this upside is a small one, probably outweighed by downsides, but it's still an upside.
Usually a simple 6502 assembler, debugger combination with an integrated editor on a dedicated PC, hooked up a cable into some kind of magic box on the target NES. In the UK at least a system called PDS was popular though it wasn't uncommon for development houses to have custom written development environments.

At that time, if you were lucky, you'd have a 20Mbyte hard drive on the PC and 600k or so of Ram.

In our case we had written a few custom graphics tools but in the main graphics were either hand drawn onto graph paper, or drawn in deluxe paint on the Amiga.

Some of the Japanese companies had very peculiar rules.I know of one well known company who kept their programmers and artists in entirely separate offices. Artists would burn their finished graphics onto an eeprom and the poor programmers would simply be presented with the rom images to do what they could with.
it’s true that database are lying about ACID and you only get true acid if you change database isolation level from default to “serializable” but on most database (that don’t use mvcc) you would get horrible performance.

I still think any programmer using any database should know what “data consistency”
you sacrificed for using “Read commited” instead of “serialisable” and how hacker can use it to steal million of dollar of your e-commerce company
I wrote a big long reply but my browser ate it.

Anyway my point is not to deny someone that they've had unpleasant or even traumatic experiences with dogs, but to point out that moderately detailed stories, like the one you just shared, are much more informative than judgments given without context.
"It's largely because there is no "National ID" system in the US (due to political reasons). That makes it hard for companies to track people, and the SSN is the only number that people consistently have."

"Real ID" is now a thing. It's a "National ID".

I mean this is basically saying that locks aren't security devices because you have to put them in your door and use them. I guess there's a point there but we are talking about professional devs and ops people. If they can't bother to pass --enable-selinux they aren't gonna use Firecracker either.

And docker at least has an update delivery story (same as microVMs as well) compared to traditional ops where there are patching cycles and anything that can't be yum/apt updated is basically ignored and updated on quarter/year time. Build a base image in your CI pipeline, update it every night, have your app build against it, smoketest deploys, and largely forget that patching exists.
Luxury and/or quality does not have to be cool.
> But I'm also really not a morning person.

I think this is really the crux of it, it's just a matter of personal preference and there's no one right answer. When I was younger I used to wake up later and I thought permanent DST was a no-brainer for the extra hour of light in the evenings. Now in my 30's for whatever reason my body clock has shifted a lot and I pretty much always wake up by 6:30 am. The last few weeks with the sun not rising until 7:30 in northern CA have been kind of depressing and I can't wait for DST to end, I'd now rather have that extra hour of light in the morning than the evening.

Mostly unreasonable. I assume you want to do the big compound lifts if you want a squat rack. Deadlifts you can just drop if its too heavy. Squats you can push off your back. Benching is a little more embarrassing but you can roll it down your torso to your hips and then get the bar off you. I think just have your phone in your pocket if you're really worried.
Funny that a place where they steal from you has the name of a communist leader.
That's a great example ^ that demonstrates exactly how this vulnerability can be easily abused
You shouldn't rinse chicken, period.

https://www.usda.gov/media/press-releases/2019/08/20/washing...

also, AFAIK people rinse off meat to "get rid of the blood/slime", not to get rid of the chroline smell. Presumably they do a good enough job rinsing off the chlorine that it doesn't smell like pool water by the time it hits store shelves.
The election to the EU Parliament is a farce. The parliament has no power. It cannot propose laws. It only votes on the laws of the Commission. In the last election, the people could elect the President of the Commission. The person elected did not get the office. They simply put von der Leyen in that position while she was investigated in the German parliament.

EdgelessDB – Taking Database Security to the Next Level
I attribute the popularity of endurance sports with Boomers (whether rich or not) to three things:

1. They missed out on high school sports and are circling back for the experience.

2. Fear of death. If I can do Death Valley to Whitney Portal, surely death is far from me!

3. Because they can. Most of us have joint issues or some other malady that keeps us from doing it.
Is that due to being so far West in the Eastern Timezone?
Aaaah. And people still claim to WANT this marvelous world that crypto enables. Beautiful.

Streak | Senior Frontend Engineer | REMOTE (north america timezones) |

[https://www.streak.com/careers/product-engineer](https://www...

Streak is CRM for your inbox. Most business users have inboxes that are filled with emails to do with various processes they work on - sales, hiring, fundraising, deals & support. Streak is built right into Gmail where those workflows are already happening.

Lead a small and high performing frontend engineering team at Streak. We work on highly technical projects (like a performant spreadsheet that can render millions of cells). You’ll own projects from start to finish and learn how to ship high quality software. Our team has an outsized impact given its size - millions of dollars of profit per engineer and the ability to improve the lives of millions of Gmail users without actually working at, ahem, a large bureaucratic company.
I don't get how idle power use is still so bad on competing products. I understand Android, at least, has improved somewhat, but it spent years being laughably bad compared to iOS, even on tablet hardware with no cell radio to worry about. Dead after three days in a drawer, while the iPad that'd been in there for three weeks still had plenty of charge left. WTF.

I'll ask
The first line (of the fourth paragraph, but still) does indicate that they make use of the SVG API, but what's baffling is not that they use it, but that apparently there's enough return on investment for them to be sponsoring this.

Is there no alternative for what they're using it for? How much extra money does this use bring in? Who managed to convince management to do this and how did they do it?

(I also imagine it's not so much a critical note as it is a "wow, I'd really like to understand the economics of this". It is for me.)
I grew up in a northern latitude on the east coast and played golf as a fall sport. Without DST, the season would have to end much earlier since it would get dark too early to actually play a round after school.
I'm sure we all agree that a lower CG is always more "stabilizing" in the sense of righting a car that is not already flat on the ground. But that's not what snovv_crash and I were talking about - we were talking about plausible handling characteristics. A CG below the ground will produce vehicle rolling motions opposite to real life. The outer wheels will lift in a tight turn, and the car will rear up when braking instead of pitching down.

There are only two forces involved - inertial forces which act on the CG, and friction forces which act at ground level. Swap the order, and you swap the direction of the torque.

> Unless 100% percent of the population was surveyed and 99% told pollsters they “don’t care”, that isn’t evidence of anything.

Rigorous, reliable statistical analysis is possible without polling 100% of the population.
Get rid of them. Timezones are a leaky abstraction over daylight. They are to broad, so run into these failure modes.

I would train people to run off of UTC time most of the time when they need to synchronize a specific time.

Then train them to run off of sunrise/sunset offsets for situations where daylight matters. Most of the parks in my neighborhood are open sunrise to sunset, that's perfect. With modern digital clocks, this would be trivial to setup.

When should work hours be? Either some UTC time if we're remote, or if all local, something like 10 hours before sunset to 2 hours before sunset.

Depending on your situation, a set of locking adjustable dumbbells (such as these: https://powerblock.com/product/sport-series/) might be a decent middle ground between the ideal gym and just doing bodyweight exercises.

They're small enough that you can store and use them in most rooms, and in my experience, the ease with which you can add and remove weight reduced the friction of deciding whether or not to work out, which helps a lot when trying to start a consistent habit.

They're not as versatile as an actual gym, but I got a pair of these when between gyms for a couple of years, and you can do a lot with them if you're creative. (For example--instead of squats and deadlifts, which would have required far more weight than I had available, I switched to lunges and one-legged squats).
yes, these are quite popular: http://www.vintagevolts.com/texas-instruments-silent-700-ser...
Move it 30 minutes and call it a day.
A big factor for sure. I rented a car in Sept 2020 and was surprised to see no cars available when nobody was traveling. Usually keys are waiting for me (elite member) but had to wait line (!!!) to get a clean car _at the airport_. However, I think this shows there is a lot of room for both price movement and QoS movements down, and consumers just shrugging it off.
Yeah, it rubs me the wrong way, and I'll admit it might be because I value (perhaps overvalue) reading.

Part of what bothers me is that he lumps together all "reading" (in his defense, often defenders of reading do the same). If you're reading and not thinking, not asking questions, hell even just not vividly visualizing fiction, then yeah, "reading" won't be much better than TV.

And yeah, you can read too much; you can do too much of anything, which is why I feel strongly that the vast majority of people spend too much time consuming media in the form of TV/streaming and Internet, and not enough time reading well researched books/papers and thinking about them.

The "reading" I (and I suspect others) would recommend is:

1. Find really good material.
2. Read it deliberately, with an active mind.
3. Act on that material, let it change your life.
The Unicode homoglyph lint will only trigger if there are multiple identifiers that can look the same, it's not a blanket warning on anything that isn't ASCII. It's close to what browsers do with domain names. And you can always allow lints.
Not quite. If your workday ends at 6pm then being on DST means you get usable daylight for more of the year after work. Even if you were prepared to get up and go to bed earlier many jobs have a fixed set of hours.

Agreed, but I'd get someone familiar with the book or that specialises properly in powerlifting or strength training. Not personal trainer of the day at the nearest Globo Gym.
Knowledge about other countries is useful, geography less so. It would be just as embarrassing to have a conversation with an Argentinian and say "so what's it like living near Chile?"
As of now, with daylights saving, places like London don't have the sun come up until 8am.

It does wear on you mentally.
I buy refurbished too pretty much every time, and I've had no real problems. Keyboard in 2014 MBP gave out because I dropped a Clorox wipe on it, and they replaced the whole motherboard for free (in warranty). Typing this on a refurbished 2019 16" MBP with no problems yet, though I swear typing lags every so often which I attribute to the Intel processor and some throttling.

Svn does do three-way merges, see the section "External diff" in the svn book.

One thing I found in svn but couldn't find in git is merge tracking: you can merge individual commits and svn records which commits have been merged. The equivalent operation in git would be cherry-picking, and I believe git does not track metadata on cherry-picked commits.

Example: I have a branch A, and I've branched B off from A. B has extra commits x, y, z (in that order). I merge commit y into branch A. (In git, I would have to cherry-pick that commit.) Then I merge the whole branch into A. Now svn knows that y has already been merged, so it only tries x and z. But git (AFAIK!) attempts to apply all three changes, and then detects based on the file content that change y was already present.

In svn, due to merge tracking, I can merge commit y into branch A and also make changes to the code in the process, and svn still knows to skip y on the final "full" merge.
