Senior Systems Engineer, iOS - Atlanta or REMOTE (USA & Canada) - https://grnh.se/6b829b222us

FullStory is looking for someone with deep systems programing experience. This role is about taking things apart and seeing what makes them tick, not building new apps. iOS-specific experience is a plus, but not a strict requirement.

We use Rust for the core codebase that is shared between Android and iOS, and Objective-C with a small amount of Swift for the iOS-specific parts.

I'm one of the engineers on the mobile team, primarily working on iOS recording and playback - if you have any question, feel free to comment here or email me directly: nathan@[company site] (https://www.fullstory.com/).

---

FullStory provides "Digital Experience Intelligence" - privacy-focused session replay and analytics for web and mobile apps. Basically, we help you find where your end-users are getting stuck. We can even rank the issues based on ROI.

Mobile replays look like a cross between a video and a wireframe because we record and replay the draw calls (using a tiny fraction of the bandwidth and CPU an actual video would require), but we redact privacy-sensitive information on the device.

We also have other openings in Engineering, Finance, HR, Sales, Support, etc. See https://boards.greenhouse.io/fullstory?t=cf0d4d232us for the complete list and https://www.fullstory.com/careers/ for some general info.

The rest of our system is primary written in Go (Golang) and TypeScript, but there are a lot of other interesting bits.

All the usual benefits: equity, healthcare, 401k matching, self-directed PTO, option to work from home even if you're near an office.

FullStory is a great place to work. Seriously, the best job yet in my 15-year career!
Is it not the processing of natural language?
Not sure if you're looking for feedback, but the News search could use some work, I searched for "Ethiopia" and almost all of the articles were unrelated to Ethiopia except for the existence of some link somewhere on the page.

Your general web search seems pretty good, although I've just given it a casual glance. I think your News search could be improved by just filtering the general search results for News-related content, since the "Ethiopia" content I get there is certainly Ethiopia-related.

In any case, an interesting product, I'll try to keep an eye on it.
The gold standard I held myself to while in the copywriting business was:

-Scientific Advertising by Claude Hopkins (c. 1923)

It is more a book about A/B testing from the literal grandfather of the practice and while some of the examples may be outdated, it is not hard to see parallels with whatever you might be writing for. I have given my copy away to a younger copywriter, but you can find it cheap on Thriftbooks or elsewhere.

-Made To Stick by Chip & Dan Heath (c. 2007)

Really great book to train the eye on what can make copy “sticky”, with stories to show the concepts they are teaching with portions at the end of each chapter to apply the characteristics of stickiness to your own work. Truly it’s a great book if you write a lot of fluff in your copy and need to get more succinct.

- The Gary V Content Model ( Link: garyvaynerchuk.com/uploads/GV-Content-Model-1.pdf)

Not so much on copywriting, but on how to build content (writing in this context) around “pillars” that hold up spun off portions or your larger main idea. So more like being able to strategize your writing in such a way that if you do need to write stuff that can be portable and used many different places it is cohesive with your main idea. I see this slide deck as not a “do it this exact way” but a nice playbook to reference or expand upon for your own uses.

With any of these books, and whatever else you do come across to deepen your learning, I’d tell you to keep your own notebook or journal of copywriting and gather all the info you can into a way that makes sense for you. I still have mine that I reference often, and because I use the Cornell Method of note taking, I fill in the left side of my journals with my own thoughts or examples, or even expand on the teachings I copied into the notebook. Hopefully these recommendations and this paragraph are helpful!
Full-stack, backend-leaning web developer looking for a platform role. Platform meaning backend/infra split, but open to backend/fullstack roles. In the past I've co-created Haven, an open-source developer tool for small teams that abstracts away the complexity of secrets management: https://haven-secrets.github.io/case-study

I'm targeting an established but smaller company (10-500 people) with min base comp 120k. I currently work - the startup I was working for got acquired, and the culture, nature and impact of the work aren't quite what I'm looking for. I'd prefer to work for a company whose mission I believe in, an environment with lots of possible paths forward ('greenfield' work), and an established engineering culture that emphasizes frequent written communication and a spirit of frequent collaboration and even occasional pairing.

Yeah you could optimize GCC to work really well for those problems, there's a great ROI for the "write something trivial really quickly into /dev/null" class of problems.

I loved geoworks. It would scream on my 386SX with 40mb hard disk. It was a joy to use.

It taught me a valuable life lesson that I still return to. Watching a clearly superior platform be destroyed by inferior technology, but superior business savvy (and shady ethics) taught me that sometimes the better technology looses, and that life isn't fair.
There is nothing wise about cynical amorality. The best you can do as a talented person is look to where you can apply your talents to make the world a better place.

The current thinking is that new variants are most likely to evolve in immunocompromised patients who experience prolonged infections. While I encourage everyone eligible to get vaccinated, the vaccines aren't very effective in people with malfunctioning immune systems.

Bingo. Those in power by definition can change the system, but they don't. Which probably means it's working pretty well for that cohort.

But one thing you are missing is that those in power are just like us. Deeply flawed people and what they build is flawed for their purposes too.

Global warming is a great example. They have absolutely no solution to it and it will decimate not just them, but everyone.
TL;DR: using Docker is an anti-pattern

> Big images

> Requiring rebuilds for every single change

> Forcing things to run in containers

> Using overly complex tools

> Building with Dockerfiles
Total fucking NAZIS!

I could make that work, but what do you mean by "walled garden" in this context?
The article lost me here:

"The job of market regulation - fundamentally a restriction on your freedom - is to prevent all that bad stuff."

Here's the problem: a "market" that is regulated this way is no longer a market. In order to have a market that works at all as a market, it has to be free in the sense that all transactions are voluntary. If you restrict people's freedom to engage in the transactions of their choice, you break the market; it no longer does what it's supposed to do.
There's always sideloading at least.
Congrats to Vivaldi!

There is a good interview with Vivaldi founder on Tedium [1] where he basically says that because most browsers are built on Chromium nowadays, you have to innovate on features and that is the direction they took. And really the number of features in Vivaldi is staggering including some great ones like Tab Stacking and Tab Tiling.

But adding this many features took a toll on performance and it is about 25% slower than other Chromium based browsers. Also I assume that is the reason why is there no Vivaldi on iOS.

Yes, Haiku would be awesome! The UI is great, it's highly functional. We'll have the same problems re hardware :(
I.. didn't know that. However, trying it just now in incognito I don't get the same results[0] (some different links, and most re-ordered). Is Duck repurposing Bing's results? I've tested with "how to get rich", a great bait for bad content (try it on Google without an adblocker, if you dare).

Congrats on the release! I like this browser a lot; it's a comprehensive, battery-included solution.

If they supported Firefox-like multi-account containers [1], it'd switch entirely to Vivaldi. Their tab grouping is really good, the session separation is the only thing missing here. :)

There is no way to “fix the problem” as the interviewee, unless you have invented a mind-control device. You can merely say no, and only if you are a desirable candidate can it have an effect other than “pushing on a string.”

I can’t think of a better approach than the golden rule here.
You've answered your own question. It is going to be a war.

War is a great mallet which destroys most of the power structures and shuffles the cards a bit. But the price to pay is atrociously high. After the war everyone will swear "Never again!", but their children's children have no idea what that means, and have no problem going to war all over again.
Because chrome and firefox literarly thrashed the browser experience. Not everybody loves gray or black and 1 font size does not fit all people.
With FireFox becoming more and more unusable, does anybody with experience know if Vivaldi or Brave are objectively better (or faster or more stable)?
I'd like to see a "just search" engine, all it does it search for a specific string, case insensitively, across the entire web. No curation or anything, just sorted in lexicological order closest match first maybe falling back to page age if it has more then one exact match. Perhaps give me some regular expressions as well.
> macOS only runs on very expensive hardware and doesn't run most programs people need (because the business world is still Windows oriented)

What programs won't run on macOS that "normal people" are going to need? In my experience most "normal people" use a web browser, the Office suite, and maybe some Adobe programs.
Actually the vaccines themselves are causing the variants.

The more you know! :)
> Inferring wisdom from noise. I have no idea what this phenomenon is called.

That's called projection.
I doubt they assumed it was better. I expect they did a ton of user testing and found that it was better for most people. And I'm sure it is. HN users are very much a niche audience these days.

One of my all-time favorite rebuttals is from an FB employee.

It’s a fresh perspective on targeted advertising in what is normally a boring discussion with the same predictable comments. Whether you agree with the post or not doesn’t matter. It’s a candid insider’s view that drives curiosity and precisely the kind of content that keeps me returning to HN.
The other side of that is that, given the long time COVID takes to kill someone and the amount of time they are infectious before that, it doesn't have much of a reason to become less deadly. Sure, it could mutate by chance to become more benign, but if it's communicable for twoish weeks, including while asymptomatic, then stops being communicable, and then kills the host what does it matter evolutionarily speaking that the host died? I don't think there's any pressure on COVID to become less deadly.

did you mean "anti-Meta bias"?
I'm probably the only person who doesn't think Google search has deteriorated. I play security CTFs, so a lot of times I have to search for peculiar technical details on various software. Also, like any other human being, I also make generic queries. In both cases, I feel like I almost always get to the desired webpage within the top few results.
None of these.

It may surprise some, but there is not prosumer/enterprise vendor that provides that Ubiquti does in terms of a solid experience, with bugs (as all software does), across routers, switches and network, with a single pane of glass.

Don't use ubiquiti is you want OPNsense capabilities. For almost everything else, it's a great bet.

The new UDR that is about to come out is a very worthy successor to the Apple Airport... but has more power then any other consumer hardware. That's a hard combo to get to.
It is almost like Germany did this at one point in time, sometime in the 1930s? What was that one guy's name? Schitzler? Blippar? Nitler?
It works really, really well for libraries. Research libraries (and research librarians) are phenomenally valuable. I've missed them any time I'm not at a university.

Both curators and algorithms are valuable. This goes for finding books, for finding facts and figures, for finding clothes, for finding dishwashers, and for pretty much everything else.

I love the fact that I have search engines and online shopping, but that shouldn't displace libraries and brick-and-mortar. Curation and the ability to talk to a person are complementary to the algorithmic approach.
> I don't know how you are going to be productive without consensus.

At the risk of pedantry (but in this case I think warranted): consensus literally means every single person agrees.

This is as opposed to something like democratic rule, where rules can be made and enforced even if not every single person involved agrees.

I think OP is using the precise (non-colloquial) definition of "consensus" and rightly points out how unworkable that is as a governing principle. You can't get a small room of people to agree on what's good for lunch, much less matters of actual controversy.

In a precisely-consensus-driven system you'd never be able to shut your neighbor up at 2am, since definitionally at least one person involved thinks the behavior is ok.

> If i'm looking for something it's usually not in relation to me but in relation to the world.

If that's true, then I don't think you are a typical search engine user.

The personalization should just be used for defaults. You can always make a more specific query to focus on aspects you are interested in.
> Through that one powerful signal, TikTok can learn your most hidden interests and emotions, and drive users of any age deep into rabbit holes of content—in which feeds are heavily dominated by videos about a specific topic or theme. It’s an experience that other social-media companies like YouTube have struggled to stop.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/tiktok-algorithm-sex-drugs-mino...

NYTimes would never do a serious negative story about Tiktok because it goes against their political bias. It matches exactly with HN's bias. Here is a praise-worthy Tiktok story that boggles the mind: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/10/10/arts/TIK-TOK....

It is all partisan and not very objective. I think all social media is terrible for the society.
This is the part that bothers me:

"I think in the case of Mr. Nolan, with ["Tenet"], the characters have a mask, and he wants to keep the original sound because I think for him it's more real," he says. Presumably, that mentality also extends to "The Dark Knight Rises," in which Bane's mask muffled a significant percentage of that character's lines.

I’m not sure how monetization is being used here, but the intro to the interview says that Instagram and TikTok are used for advertisement.

I have some mixed feelings about most of these. As Jim Keller said, "most of the performance comes from just six instruction and RISC-V has all of those". Adding more instructions will cost area, power, design & verification time, all of which could go to making the existing code go faster.
> Yes because all other software companies are saints and FB is just killing people left and right.

I didn't say anything of the sort -- was just talking quoting my friends who work at Facebook.

> Personally Twitter is more of a stain of society, but for some reason HN has a stiffy for anyone who shits on FB.

I don't have any friends at Twitter.

> We have some awesome stuff because of FB open source; React, PHP, HHVM, JSX, etc.

The Church has tons of good causes but also has priests that literally fuck kids. Should they be above criticism for it? Should we give them a pass even though they actively covering up such vile villainy?
Facebook's actions are a fairly good analogue...
Life is complicated. Not everything is wholly good or wholly evil, Facebook included.

Who here is upset with some of the decisions of their employers? Who else is upset that the management they work under are scumbags? I would dare say most of us fit that category.

I used to work for a company whose product is pretty good, but the CEO and CTO behave unethically. They are fine with lying and cheating if they can get away with it.

For example, it was discovered that in some cases the company was double-charging customers. When it was fixed, the CEO and CTO noticed a drop in revenue and told the employee to "unfix" it. That employee has ethics and thus refused revert the change.

All my previous coworkers are good people trying to make a living. I was happy that my efforts were providing the users a good product and that the company was financially supporting my coworkers. I was unhappy that my efforts were enriching scumbags.
