Intrepid Women | Consultant Full-Stack Engineer | Remote | Est. 20-30 hours/week | www.bibti.app

Intrepid Women, Inc. is proud to create the bibti app a peer-to-peer walking application for women to help them navigate public spaces more safely and comfortably.

What makes us different? While there are other safety apps on the market, they mainly employ surveillance technology (location sharing) or connections to emergency services (like SOS buttons). These features are valuable but do not do anything to protect female travelers in real time. We are committed to creating a proactive solution to protect women by scaling strategies that they already use: walking with another person.

We are an early-stage start-up backed by Angel investors, launching in the states with a global vision. Currently are at the pre-seed stage and have raised 25% of our investment goal after one month. We already have 6 months of runway with our current capitalization, and we are raising more. We are not content to simply dream big, we bring them into reality. For more about us, visit our website at www.bibti.app .

Skills: Flutter/Dart OR React Native / TypeScript / REST API development experience / Deployment experience (AWS or Heroku, preferred) / Database experience (PostgreSQL or MongoDB) /Node JS & Express

We seek a passionate and creative full stack developer with mobile experience to join our team as an early member. This role is a good fit for someone who is looking to take creative control over a greenfield project. This position will work closely with the founder to create a product roadmap from the initial beta app through the scaling process.

You will be implementing designs, core backend and frontend functionalities, and backend specs. The engineer will have control over the creation and delivery of the product with proper crediting of work.

Great infographic. I love how 2nd icon for "Typical sleep posture or sleep place" takes over the 3rd row as well. Seems like some design trade-offs were well served.
To put some numbers to it, I bought a computer in the early 80s. No hard disk but it was still probably about $4K or so by the time you threw in a dot matrix printer and any other hardware, e.g. modem. I was actually working at the time but, as an engineer, my salary was about $25K. A PC clone was a significant investment.

By the late 90s, I was in tech (as a product manager) and was making about double that. But a hard disk drive was still in the thousands of dollars and a compiler/assembler/debugger was still in the many hundreds of dollars range. And probably spend another few hundred on books because that's mostly what you needed if you wanted to look things up. Some of this you could copy of course. (Though the software came with a shelf full of manuals you sort of needed.)

But you were still easily looking at a $10K+ investment in today's dollars to get into "serious" programming on your own.

ADDED: There were ways to cut the costs of software especially but still a lot of money.
Yes - I understand how leasing works (although you can absolutely build a termination clause in for either/all sides).

That's why I say make it the current owners responsibility if you don't want tenants there: They must either invoke their termination clause (and usually pay a fee), or offer to buy the tenants out, or pay you some penalty fee for every day the house remains occupied after sale.

Alternatively - if you plan on gutting the place anyways, and their lease is due to expire in less than 6 months: Leave them in place and keep the property bringing in some income while you schedule contractors and line up work.
There are many things to say (and I do agree with the author) but unfortunately that conversation is going to bring out people who think Doom is scarier than Silent Hill because there are more jump scares in Doom and too much reading and personal trauma in Silent Hill.

It's like when you are under 15 and watching a movie where a character gets raped or another has an abortion. The reality will only hit you later in life and that story won't be as easy to watch.

It's like that episode from DS9 where Captain Sisko tells his son his writing is dull because his son doesn't know what he is writing about and Siskok encourages him to write about matters he knows.

Or in Good will Hunting, when the psychotherapist explains to Will something along the line of "you can deconstruct my psyche and analyze it but you don't know jack about it".

Likewise some games that were recently acclaimed for their approach to the subject (Celeste, Old man's journey, Sea of solitude) really fell dull to me.

"I'm trying to head off the fact that nobody reads docs, but will head straight to a web search. "

On average I would say, this is because the average SO answer about some API call, is usually way better, than the average doc.
Somewhere there was a post on Bruce Schneier's blog about copper theft. It must have been around 2008, when the price of copper spiked.

His take was that copper wasn't stolen because copper theft was suddenly profitable, rather copper theft was a reflection of the environment, it took place because there was copper infrastructure in places accessible to drug addicts.

Same here. What you are really seeing is a lack of social services, combined with cops on strike and no willing takers for shit low-wage jobs. A 24-h CVS can't exist in such an environment.

> Will the orange sponges be the next creatures to stun the sleep skeptics? Maybe not right away. Joiner and Rouse couldn’t keep their sponges healthy long enough to carry out reliable experiments. After months of fits and starts, they paused the work to rethink the set up. Then, COVID-19 hit and shut the experiment down. Joiner doesn’t have the staff to start it back up. But another sponge may step in instead to show that even the simplest animals truly sleep. In emails, Itoh coyly referred to his lab’s work on these simple creatures. Mum’s the word for now, it seems. “These are ongoing projects,” he wrote. “Please look forward to them.”
Kind of like «unscheduled rapid disassembly».
The Toyota Safety Sense system will slow the car down by 25MPH regardless of its initial speed (except possibly for "very high speeds").

It makes no sense to give up entirely when an application of brakes would reduce damage.

In the case of this accident, the vehicle not only didn't apply brakes but continued to accelerate after it hit me (the double hit).

This may or may not have been operator error, but the driver says she was on autopilot, that there was an OTA update issue, and that it has happened before. This all seems to suggest an investigation is appropriate and necessary.
The difference is in the capabilities of what a library can do. C++ goes through a lot of effort to ensure any library has all the same building blocks as the standard library. Almost no other language does this. Instead, they just grant the standard library magic powers that they don't trust you with or just refuse to provide.

The "caste system" as a result exists in all languages. Just the vast majority prevent you from ever being a duke much less a king. C++ doesn't stop you. Whether or not this is valuable to you is then personal preference, but it's not complexity for the fun of it, either.
So overall pretty tame then.

This is a circular argument for the utility of dApps. There's nothing here for someone who isn't already interested in cryptocurrency.
For example, Eco is a non-crypto app that seeks to compete with CashApp, Venmo, and Apple Pay.

Although Eco is a fully non-crypto app, it is built on top of crypto rails.

Eco offers its users greater savings rates than traditional banks by using crypto to literally cut out the middlemen.

As well, Eco accounts are not FDIC insured-- but, I think that's a temporary downside of the current regulatory landscape. It seems like there's no reason why Eco accounts couldn't be FDIC insured in the future. Happily, the benefit of cutting out the middlemen is forever.

It doesn’t work for callback-based async (including native Promises, but some libraries like Bluebird can help). But it does work for suspending async functions (native async/await, generators)! This also applies to Error#stack and debugger call stacks.

I’m actively moving some projects I inherited from Promise APIs to async/await for this reason.

> what happens in the next market downturn

It's happened a few times before and they're fine
Turbo Pascal was priced at $50 when it was introduced, and it just kept getting better with each new version. This was back when PCs were thousands of dollars for the lower end models. The price has to cover the costs, profits for all stages of the retail chain, spread across the market size.

Consider the cost of Facebook's software, their sunk developer costs must be on the order of a Billion dollars. It's likely the same for all of the FAANGs.

It would be interesting to estimate a price for all the work that has gone into the Linux ecosystem.

Yes, and it's not even close.
The best overall guide for flakes is likely the one from Serokell: https://serokell.io/blog/practical-nix-flakes.

In the most basic, practical sense, flakes solve the standardization and pinpointing of two things: inputs, previously solved by things like niv, and outputs, making nix structures more standard and better able to coexist. Things like overlays, package outputs, nixos configurations, and even flake templates themselves all follow the same structure.

The result of all this is that, when I look at a non-flake repository, I may have to spend some time looking around to see what it does at a high level, and it may have its own special method of installation that usually begins with

this = import (builtins.fetchTarball "https://...")

You can start by converting any of the things I listed to flakes, and there is a module called flake-compat designed to provide backward compatibility for non-flakes. The Serokell guide is very helpful for this as well.
What do you think happens with the money? It's not burned. Ideally, the project also employs people that use their money to exchange it for goods and services, which in turn might make some children not go hungry.

Consumption is not bad (up to ecological damage). Wealth hoarding and concentration is bad.
I wonder how common pink eye is with astronauts.

In Apollo moon missions they had had turd pieces floating in the cabin.
I took a quick crack at this [1] and I have a few comments:

1. The double-linking and circularity make the solution uglier and more fiddly without making it really conceptually any harder. In particular, it means you end up mixing recursion with mutation, which is a little gunky. I wish they'd just have you output a single-linked list: same bang, less buck.

2. The problem mentions that the double-linked list nodes look a lot like the tree nodes, in the sense that they're a value with two pointers, but in practice that didn't have any effect on the solution, and I'm not really sure it's very interesting.

3. A thing that always comes up in these kinds of recursion problems is where to put the null checks, which in this case are a little complicated. I think neither my solution and the Java one in the link do a great job on that front

The part where they said 10 years later there is still no actual applications or use, and someone responded with https://defipulse.com/

I think if a self-proclaimed crypto expert gives you this link as proof of use cases, you would walk away thinking the technology was pathetic.
I should have been a lot more specific in my comment. I'm not really convinced that this is a case for the application of that type of risk benefit analysis.

Public health guidance should be (and is?) instructions for how to produce reliably safe food.

Is shouldn't be (and isn't?) guidance for what the tradeoff should be between risk and pleasure.

The latter is entirely subjective and up to individuals. This is why you can go out to a public restaurant and get chicken sashimi if you want.[1]

Slightly off-topic, but I find it amusing that whenever a China related topic pop-up, the comment section would be littered with whataboutism.

Not in US bashing thread, not in five-eyes thread, not in North Korean thread, not in Iran thread, hell, not even in Russia thread. But China (or more specifically, ccp) related thread? Without fail, "the US has done worse/white people genocided and enslaved too!".
Oh, I don't know about the state of the art, I was just speculating. I'd imagine this technique would only useful if you want to support a MongoDB app at the same time as building new features with Postgres, and then gradually phase out the MongoDB interface (e.g. gradually transitioning between a v1 prototype and a v2 rewrite)

If it's not much data (eg ~100k or something), and you don't need any sort of gradual transition, then I'd do something really KISS like dump into a CSV or something and then re-import with whatever the new database management system has for importing files
If I were designing this question I would probably use a real bug that we recently fixed. We'd already have a sense for how hard of a problem it was, and there's no worry about unpaid work.
Dive into Daunting Lists and Dictionaries
Then you are not agreeing with me at all. In my opinion these issues have to do primarily with the out of control scale and scripting of modern sites. Scale and scripting has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with layout and graphical design which is the target of the site guidelines. Reasonable people can differ but let us be clear about the lines we are both drawing.

Except if you're not driving the bus at full capacity (i.e. vast majority of the time), you're not saving any labor costs by using the larger vehicle. In fact, the greater maintenance requirements probably cause greater labor costs.

Additionally, transit vans don't necessarily need a commercial license to drive, which can reduce labor costs (in part by expanding the availability of the labor pool).
Absolutely agree! We all kind've follow this path of what we think will make us happy and when those boundaries start to crumble down or push us too far, I think we re-evaluate what really makes us happy. And potentially if you have been impacted, it gives us the excuse to change and jump off the so called rat race.
Genuine question. Why are we assuming kids need to use messenger type apps? Shouldn't they be encouraged to be away from screens as much as possible?
The article you cited states unequivocally that the CPC has committed crimes against humanity in Xinjiang. Further:

> There is little dispute within the U.S. government that China’s treatment of the Uighur population has been horrific and criminal: More than 1 million Uighurs have been detained in reeducation camps, and many have reportedly been subjected to forced labor and sterilization. China has committed numerous crimes listed in the convention as acts of genocide, including the prevention of births and infliction of bodily or mental harm on members of a group and the compulsory separation of children from their communities, according to human rights groups.
This strikes me as a catch-22. People who research cryptocurrencies / blockchains and conclude they are promising technologies are likely to both invest in them and also tell people they are promising. But that doesn't tell you anything about the direction of causality. It could be either "I invested in them so I tell people they're promising" or "I think they are promising so I invested in them".

I remember investing in Microsoft in the 90s and Apple when the iPhone came out and also telling lots people that I thought Windows 98 was really great and that the iPhone was a huge deal, but the primary reason I told people those things was not because of my investment in the stocks, rather I invested in the stocks because I thought those things were true.

Is it not much more relevant today, than it was in 2013 though? At a minimum, the core thesis of the article stands.
Do they change the "basket" with the change in consumer trends?

We purchase a LOT of subscriber model services these days, also delivery services and the like... services in general really.

Does the CPI change with consumer trends?
> That's starting to change, but it's not a real Cold War until the business class gets nervous going over the boarder and right now they're still piling into China.

It's sad, but this is one of the only avenues I can imagine that will bring real benefits and change for a lot of Americans.

Post-WWII, the ownership class had to offer a good deal compared to the Soviets, lest they risk communism coming for them, too. They had to provide working people opportunity and had to help build a thriving middle class in order to stave off sympathy and collaboration with the USSR.

Today, if owners don't want Americans to be bribed by the CCP into spying for them and handing over the IP they own, they're going to have to offer Americans another good deal in comparison. That's my optimistic take, but I can also see jackboot tactics being implemented instead of raising Americans' standards of living.
> I'm trying to head off the fact that nobody reads docs, but will head straight to a web search.

Is that why everyone loves SO? I've found it so hard to get questions answered on there. Most answers I find are just regurgitations of documentation, which is just annoying when you are asking about an obscure edge case.
That makes it sound like it isn't also the 3rd row... like you could have said that backwards also? I would have said "how the 2nd and 3rd icons are connected into a single design", which isn't really a "tradeoff".
> It is now common to describe the SM as an “effective” theory that should be derived from some more fundamental theory at higher energies.

I'm curious why the more fundamental theory should be at higher energies.

In some sense I know part of the answer is 'because we haven't found it at low energies yet', another being 'because it takes sufficiently high energy to produce additional particles (e.g., Higgs)'.

Still, it is backwards from my intuition.
> They remove the responsibility of a centralized administrator if shit hits the fan.

I'd argue that they remove the liability of a centralized administrator but not necessarily the need for administration. This is why you see coins/tokens with some kind of voting scheme. Will be interesting to see if at some point in the future we see voting rights as presenting a liability.
