Foxglove | Frontend React/WebGL, Full Stack TypeScript | Remote (Americas/Australia/NZ timezone) | Full Time or Contract | https://foxglove.dev/

Robotics and autonomous vehicle developer tools.

We're a small, highly experienced, and fast moving team of engineers building the next generation of web-based (browser and electron) robotics and self-driving development tools. Our first product (Foxglove Studio) is an open source visualization and debugging tool for analyzing live and recorded robotics data.

We are looking for people who enjoy working across the stack - pushing browser technology to its limits using WASM, WebGL and Web Workers, diving into data serialization formats and binary protocols, or shipping end to end features for our hosted services.

Prior experience working with robotics or WebGL isn't necessary, but you must be interested and willing to learn fast.

Market salary + meaningful equity.

Really, this is a post of the video of the hearing (Youtube links are just fine on Hacker News) that is somewhat abusing the "no URL" feature of submissions to dramatically editorialize. That's the reason links in no-URL posts aren't clickable!

The better way to do this would be to write a blog post about your concerns surrounding this hearing, and take your chances submitting that.

What we should do here is make this post the Youtube link itself, and title it "hiQ Labs, Inc. v. LinkedIn Corporation hearing on IP blocks", or something similar, and demote the text of this submission to a comment. Hacker News submissions are community property; the submitter isn't entitled to provide a short editorial for the link to direct the discussion. That's what comments are for.
The Solicitor has no existing relationship with the real owner of the house. A bloke turns up and says they want to sell their house and has the correct Land Registry details and some ID, the solicitor does other checks and makes it all happen.

The illegal seller must have known that the owner was away for some time though because even if everything is ready, it usually takes at least 2 months to go through.

command is a bash builtin. /usr/bin/command is a bash script that calls into the builtin command.

If you just run `command`, you are running the builtin function and not the /usr/bin/command file.

Try running `command -V command` and `command -V /usr/bin/command`
Thanks! Yeah, I feel like there are many unexplored possibilities with haptics.
The compilation works on their system to produce a binary sure but that doesn't mean he can just upload the source tree and it will work for anyone else out of the box.

When I talk about releasing something that "actually works" (as I put it) I mean a simple git clone, make, make install (or equivalent).

Not having to include a readme that explains you need to search and replace the files to remove hardcoded paths, install some old library because my machine wasn't up to date and it doesn't compile with the latest version as I was lazy and hardcoded specific version numbers in places for things as something else didn't work and I didn't want to spend half an hour trying to find some old Windows 2000 DLL, etc.

I am guessing based on my own experience here but developing plugins for Visual C++ 6 on Windows 2000 is a bit of a pain in the ass in 2021. It was a pain in the ass back in the early 2000s when I had access to everything on MSDN.

Sure you could make the point that this tool is designed for people using VC++6 so they must have a copy of that but they may not have any other ancient libraries this tool is built with which is often the biggest obstacle when working with old proprietary software like this.

I support the authors decision to keep things to themselves until they have been able to tidy it up then release something that is easier to build so they're not overwhelmed with "the build isn't working as it says I need x.y.z" issues.
ACID is the kind of fundamental which can make the difference between easily constructing a reliable system and constructing an unreliable system with great difficulty. It's a mistake to class it with the MVC pattern (now diluted past all recognition) and SOLID just because they're all acronyms and your source of information about ACID was a shitty Wild Hog book by someone who wasn't clear about what it was either.

You can build bridges that don't fall down without knowing the difference between stress and strain; you can build an audio amplifier without knowing the difference between voltage and current; and you can build a database-backed application without knowing what ACID means. But you shouldn't, except maybe as a learning exercise, because it's an enormous amount of effort to produce mediocre results. Understanding ACID allows you to treat a database as "a black box with an API" with enormously better results.

I have no patience for the kind of glorification of ignorance in this post. Perhaps it's true that "the majority of programmers" think "something being RESTful means that you can feed it chunks of JSON over HTTP." The majority of audiophiles might think that oxygen-free copper will improve their sound quality, the majority of computer users might think that Google built the Internet, and the majority of people don't speak English. That has no bearing on the knowledge needed to actually build a working hi-fi system, debug an internet connection problem, or successfully converse in English, and neither does popular ignorance about REST (or ACID) have any bearing on the knowledge needed to successfully design a distributed system that works reliably in the face of constant partial failures.

(Ivanhoe's post at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29065438 is an excellent explanation of what can happen when you lack the understanding of these fundamentals but mistakenly think you can use the database as a black box anyway: "I lost a lot of data when traffic suddenly jumped, and since those were affiliate clicks lots of people got very pissed about not getting paid, and it almost ruined both my client's business as well as my own, as it was our core client.")

If over 40 years you spend 83000 hours working, and you spend 10% of them on programming, that's 8300 hours. (If your job title is "software engineer" you probably spend more like 50% of them on programming, but maybe you're a web designer, a database administrator, a sysadmin, a mechanical engineer, or a biologist, so programming is a relatively minor part of your work.) The optimal fraction of that time spent on getting to know the fundamentals --- real fundamentals like ACID, not fake fundamentals like SOLID, though this presumes that you have someone to guide you who knows the difference --- is surely not 100%, because then you'll never get any work done. But it's not 0% either; you won't get much done that way either. It's probably in the range of 20% to 60%, which would be 1700-5000 hours. Learning in your bones what ACID is might take you 5 hours spread over a month or two, so it only takes up 0.3%-0.1% of that time.
Oso | Software Engineer, Developer Advocate, Eng Manager, Product Leader, Docs Product Owner & Technical Writer | New York City (NYC) | Onsite or Remote

Over the last 15 years, companies like AWS, Stripe, and Twilio have helped developers offload anything not core to their apps so they can focus on what matters to their users. Despite a lot of progress in developer tooling, most developers still roll their own authorization.

You might start with something quick 'n dirty – some IF statements and roles in a database, which may not be pretty but gets the job done...until you need to add more features, and more features. And inevitably every team band-aids onto this system until they do a big refactor. This is lost time for an area that's not core to what most companies are trying to solve for their users, and what's more, no one on the team is feeling great about this work.

At Oso (backed by Sequoia), we're building the first batteries-included framework for authorization so developers don't have to roll it on their own ever again. We're designing slick APIs to cut down the amount of time they spend getting their system set up, and building a fully-fledged policy engine and programming language (in Rust) under the hood to ensure they can customize their system however they need. We don't have any product managers – the engineers on the team are responsible for taking broad problems, experimenting with potential solutions and shipping a superhuman experience for our users.

The team members who join now will not only have a disproportionately large impact on the product, but also on the culture and future of the company.

We are based in NYC and hiring folks remote or onsite.

Not sure I fully understand what you’re saying here but the buybacks are simple to execute.

If actually argue they are brilliant by Tim Cook - if all that cash was still on the balance sheet they would end up using it on bad M&A etc. This way they stay focused.

Interestingly, in this case males were in fact available - it just seems based on genetic studies that they didn't participate in these particular chicks (the mothers went on to have other chicks through normal reproduction).
The Dave Abrahams comment in the questions here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raB_289NxBk

"We got a lot of mileage in Swift, saying no to things"

and

"You're not going to get to a simpler language by adding features".

I've taken two comments (I don't feel that they're out of context), and they're 100% correct. As is your comment about learning the 5% part.

> I really wish a good, well-maintained, modern (as in, actually break stupid compatibility, just fuck it. It's 2021 for God sakes) C++ existed.

I often joke to my colleagues and say that C++42 will be equal to D today, or in fact D from 5 years ago.
Just a few examples of things that I suspect have improved the cost of running a McDonald's (or network of them) or other similar businesses:

1) Self-order kiosks. Definitely reduce costs and required number of workers needed at any time substantially.

2) Scheduling applications. More efficiently schedule workers, trade shifts, etc.

3) Improved warehouse, distribution infrastructure, logistics, coordination software, optimization around deliveries, predicted usage, etc.

I also do think that the filament thickness has a lot to say for longevity. I have a "decor type" large warm glowing light bulb with a quite thick and long filament that's been on for hours daily and turned on and off multiple times daily for 10 years now and counting. And yes, it is a real incandescent bulb, not LED :)
I mean, collateral is how most currencies used to function. Is there a reason cryptocurrencies can be collateral backed and most other world currencies can't? My understanding is that a gold backed currency becomes much too difficult to maintain at scale, which would eventually become an issue if the currency were to continue growing.

Or I could be missing something that would allow crypto to scale with collateral backing.

To get a more accurate picture, you should be adding executive salaries to the profit figure. They don't contribute anything more than stockholders do, so amount to parasites feeding off profits.
Something people seem to forget when designing systems based on what they've learned is that modern individual machines have approximately the power of the top supercomputer ~20 years ago, and a few racks of modern machines can in many ways match the top supercomputer of ~10 years ago. Approaches to solve large problems are continually changing and it's almost always worth a big-picture design session when looking at a familiar-seeming problem. By the time students graduate from a 4-year program computing is about 10X better than when they started.

I still remember some interviews within the last decade where single-core machines with a few GB of RAM were a default assumption for whiteboard designs, or that spinning disks were the default.
Honest question: such as what? Some enormous projects were written with CVS (concurrent version control) including, IIRC, Unix system V and some Jet Propulsion Lab projects

Have any good tips for cracking? I have some local pine trees with large, tasty nuts. But it is such a hassle to separate the nut's meat from the shell.

Right now I am just using a hammer and the cement pavement to break the thick shells individually without smooshing the meat. I have heard of a technique where you do not care about smooshing the meat, you just crush the whole nut, shell and all, and place all the nuts in liquid. The shells supposedly float while the meat sinks. I have never tried that though.

I am open to any suggestions to make my foraging more efficient.
> The key problem is that it is a civil matter.

No. The criminal matter, as alleged, is that someone scammed the buyer, the solicitors and the Land Registry into believing that they are who they were not. That is not a civil matter, it is I believe fraud.

If a bloke sells their house, but then gets cold feet, or not happy with the compensation that is a civil matter. This is not what is alleged.

Is it morally appropriate to get together a group of your friends and pressure someone to commit suicide on social media? By your logic, it seems that it is; their suicidal reaction to malicious and intentional verbal abuse is not anyone else's problem but their own.

Many people seem to feel otherwise, and there are laws in place in various regions as a result. Are they wrong to choose to restrict your speech in favor of the collective good? If not, then what is the dividing line between "verbal abuse is okay" and "verbal abuse is not okay"? If it merely drives them to self-harm rather than suicide, is that morally acceptable, in some way that causing suicide is not?

Societies have a long-standing tradition of restricting individual behaviors for the collective good. Wishing that societies wouldn't this is hopeless, because it seems like every society that doesn't restrict individual behaviors to some degree ends up becoming a textbook example of how not run a society.

I read your moral position here as "if you are too frail to resist someone's words, you don't deserve protection from their verbal abuse with malicious intent". If I have misunderstood how your moral reasoning applies to the topic under discussion — trolls willfully causing psychological harm on the Internet — please help me understand where I've misapplied your logic.

> China is huge so I can see how it could work for them, but I still have to admit it's very hard for me to imagine someone becoming say a competent web dev without picking at least some basic English along the way,

Having worked with some large software teams in China my experience was that most people could speak a bit of English (but generally didn't want to) and were nowhere near at the level needed to actually design and write software in English.

If we forced them to do everything in English quality was terrible and everything took ages, but it we let them write in Mandarin things were much better.

> The whole objective of fraud is to have it not be discovered,

I don't think so. The objective of fraud is to misrepresent. Finding out about it is incidental to that objective. Although not all fraud relates to identity, it's obvious that fraud is used to leverage all sorts of slippery side effects that often benefit an individual - eg https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-essex-59069662

Ah yes, the crippling terror that everything will be fine. How foolish we would appear, to have spent trillions on mitigation efforts, with nothing to show for it except sustainable jobs, technological research and development, cleaner air, quieter streets, reduced dependence on unsavoury oil-producing nations, less incentive to wage war in the middle east. What a catastrophe that would be...

The GP said "usable interchangeably", which is vague enough to admit a wide variety of interpretations, including the more rigorous one Koshkin posted.
That's not what they said. They said it was not criminal but civil, which a lot of contract and tort law falls under, it means the police won't do the investigation for you.

I don't know why they considered that this was not fraud, which is criminal but maybe they couldn't point to a detail that showed where the fraud took place.

They might also have been wrong to say that!
Eh - depends on why you're buying the house.

There are a lot of rental properties for sale with "tenants in place" in my area.

If you want to live in it, then yes - Ensure seller is responsible for removal.

If you want to continue renting the property then a lot of times it's easier for both parties to complete the sale and then let the current rental contract conclude before doing reno/construction.
