Academy Of Mine | Philadelphia/South Jersey region | US Citizens/Permanent Residents only | Various roles (Tech/PM/Sales/Marketing) 75K-100K base | https://www.academyofmine.com

We are a small bootstrapped team (edtech B2B SAAS) and looking to add a few roles including Technical Customer Support, Product Management, Sales and Marketing. We are looking to get to a growth phase in 2022 and I am hiring for all of these roles. Ideal candidate should be willing to work at a small company and enjoy the challenges that it brings. Hit me up directly (I am the founder).

Our customers: We server mostly B2B (Smaller to Mid Size mostly but have some larger orgs as well). They typically use the platform to setup training for their own customers/partners etc. Very professional in nature. Think Safety Training or Health care related training, Continuing Education etc.

Money and Benefits: For all roles, the base range will be 75K-100K plus bonus/commissions etc. We pay full health insurance, a 401K plan (after initial 90 day period) and training budget (we are edtech after all).

Equity/Partnership: Possible after minimum 18 months of employment. Will really depend more on you than us.

Cannot do 100% remote for many reasons but the right candidate can work from home 2-3 days a week after an initial period. So you must be able to commute to our office in South Jersey/Cherry Hill/Philadelphia region.

Recruiters welcome if you can find us the best candidates.

Never used coderpad, but my experience holding (online/remote) code interviews is that even using an IDE with standard error highlighting and color coding is just a waste of time - people start concentrating on fixing typos and adding keywords, as they are conditioned by the red squigglies, and that just detracts from the point of the problem. Having people actually try to make the code runnable would make things so much worse...

After experimenting with BYOIDE, we've stuck with online code style platforms (monotype fonts, no language-based Word-style auto-correct). This helps people focus on the problem, not the code itself, in my experience.
> It would be great if I could host this and many other applications locally on a K8s cluster instead of stringing together a bunch of raspberry pis with a network switch, or hosting it on a cloud service.

Pardon my ignorance, but why couldn't you run this on a NUC or a NAS? Do you need HA for testing random apps? Or is it just that this is more fun and a learning experience?
It's done that way to align incentives. The hiring manager's incentive is always to fill a role; if they didn't have more work than they can do, they wouldn't have open headcount. This biases them toward hiring fast and lowering the bar - not so much that they can't work with the person, but enough to overlook minor red flags in the interest of filling the position. In other words, the inefficiency is a feature, not a bug: the company doesn't want to hire fast if it means sacrificing quality.

It also has the added benefit of improving internal cooperation, trust, and mobility. Many big companies suffer from the attitude of "Oh, those doofuses in department X can't be trusted to get anything done right". [1] When you have a common hiring process, you know that everybody in the company passed the same bar you and your teammates did, and your baseline assumption should be that they're as competent. And similarly, transfers get pretty easy because everybody has already passed a common hiring bar, so you know that the candidate is already qualified technically, you just need to judge if they're a good fit for your team.

Time to find a mutual fit can vary a lot. It was really quick (like a couple days) my first time around, because I was early enough in my career to be pretty adaptable, had a very in-demand skillset (Javascript), and had multiple teams - Search, GMail, Docs - all vying for me. It was a lot slower (month+) my second time around, because I interviewed in April 2020 as the world was falling apart from COVID and teams kept disappearing as they got canceled or their headcount got cut.

I switched to a 4-day work week several years ago (maybe 7 or 8, forget), taking. 20% pay cut. Ot really does feel like such a better work-life balance - as you say, it's a much bigger increase in personal time than it is a decrease in working hours.

And I am just as productive as when I worked 5 days a week!
Ballroom dancers are connected, most of the time, (right)hip-to-(right)hip, not groin-to-groin; that offsets quite a bit of the awkwardness. On top of that, the shoulders must be apart (both dancers should lean away from each other), which further reduces the intimacy of a casual dance.

In my experience (casual dancer only), it's mostly in the tango where there's potential for overreach, because doing it properly means moving the hips closer to the ground by bending the knees, which increases the potential for upper-leg to groin contact -- that's pretty much where the tango originates from. But it's perfectly possible to dance a respectable tango with less bended knee, if things get awkward with your partner.

> That's not always an option -- my last android phone died with a reboot loop.

You're not wrong, but for future reference, there is a way to stop such a reboot loop; I did it just yesterday with my wife's phone. (Of course, it was a Pixel, so it might not be on every phone.) You do it by holding power and down volume until it says "Command not found", then you hold power and volume up until you get a menu. One of the items should be "Power off". Another one is "Factory reset" or something like it.

Once my wife's phone was off, I left it off for a couple of hours to let it cool. Then I booted it again, and all was well.

We're still getting her a new phone though.

> walk through a solution instead of stating "This algorithm self-evidently works" like a jerk.

After every iteration, "result" gives correct remainders for all divisors considered so far, so if the loop ends, the "result" will give correct remainders for all divisors. The only problem is whether it will end or not, and that I just tried experimentally: it stopped, so ok. Not really sure how to explain it further.

> Also, the last modulo isn't needed.

Good to know, I was not sure if I wouldn't step past it due to constantly increasing addend. I knew about this modular reduction from that one time when I needed to align/move/scroll things on a 80x25 grid.
You would need to exert significant physical force upon me to inject a vaccine into me when I am not willing to subject myself to it. As per the universal human right to security of person, I have an equal right to refuse vaccination. You are advocating for the dissolution of universal human rights that arise from physical reality. As a human, I will have to disagree with you.
I have a bunch of old USB sticks, HDDs, phones, tablets, etc in my garage because I can't wipe them, but I can't possibly remember what data was stored on them over the years. Micro SD cards are great because they're teeny tiny.

Nothing nefarious. I'm just not very trusting with my data, and not going to just hand it over like that.
I took a new position in March this year and only accepted it after they agreed to 4 day workweek. I took 20% pay cut. One of the best decisions I made in my life. I wish all people who can, to do this. There's nothing you'll miss on Friday or any other weekday and so much to gain.

Ask HN: Anyone who bought new 2021 MacBook Pro What are you honest reviews
Hello HN,

I am planning onto buying the latest macbook pro in the next coming up months. I would love to hear from people who have bought it and have been using it.

How has been your experience so far and how do you feel about the notch.

I have been a linux guy mostly but I have gotten accustomed to using a macbook and the biggest reason I wanted to buy a macbook over thinkpad was to try swift and get into making iOS apps

Can confirm that this is how it worked out for me just a few weeks ago. Interviewed for SWE II for a day, was told that feedback was trending positive, and spent ~4 hours of personal time prepping for and participating in fit calls.

Then got and excited call from my recruiter and was told I'd get an offer and that there was a match for one of the teams I interviewed for. The catch? Downleveled to SWE I, despite saying earlier in the process that I would not take it for career development and salary range reasons.

They were willing to set up another round of interviews to get more data, but at some point you just have to call it. End-to-end, this took around a month and a half. This was with my positive references allowing me to skip the phone screen.

I've had positive experiences interviewing with Microsoft and Amazon, no experience with other big tech.

Having skimmed the article I'd say that the main thrust of the story is the same as the main thrust of the HN thread, which is why this thread is substantially the same as the previous one.
“Bluetooth retro phone handset” has lots of results. And there are corded ones that plug into your phone. Most of these don’t have numpads, but they must be out there!

You can even log out particular devices on account.google.com (security tab → your devices). This is a weak protection, however, since they're probably cached on the phone.

Came here to post something similar. Sort of nation-wide legislation (or some combo of CA, TX, FL and NY going this way on their own), we'll never see it. The ruling class has too much to loose. Even for creates and professionals, where there's an arguable case for higher productivity over 4 days vs 5, I don't see them ever giving up the control granted to them by the 5th day.
Not why the rank and file do it. It may be politically related, but most folks are just essentially trolling. It's become a national pastime
> Last commit was from march... why was this posted now and is there any interest/activity left?

I work in an adjacent research group at UNC, and I can assure you that this is a very active project. Unfortunately, because most venues now use double-blind review, the updated code can't be posted until after the associated paper(s) are accepted.

I'd encourage any potentially interested parties to star/watch the GitHub repo to keep an eye on development. I've seen some very impressive benchmark improvements from work currently in the pipeline.
fwiw the Chinese Remainder Theorem is taught in basic cryptography courses. ig it could be obscure for someone outside the field though
> How about make it so that the "hidden" photos on a phone require a security code/biometric to access?

Pixel with the latest Android should have that ("Move to Locked Folder" [1]), though as with all security things it is annoying to use in a lot of ways. Doesn't work for SMS images or Whatsapp (Signal is much nicer on this front, but images on Signal get lost if a phone is bricked - the account backup/transfer method sucks a bit).

Early health, risk aversion and stock market participation
an excellent point. speaking from a more blue-collar perspective, i would argue most "real" (non meeting attender) jobs have been 3-4 day for a long time now thanks to automation and a perverse incentive to avoid paying benefits.

bartenders, repair staff, custodial, fast food and construction have never offered a solid 40 hour week. many of these roles are highly automated and simply do not need a full 40 woman or man hours of work anymore. farming has been this way for a very long time and as such, most farmers wives would take jobs as lunchroom staff for the local elementary school to provide health insurance for the family that a farming job simply couldnt.

what i wonder now is that if this affects 'white' collar workers, will the rules change? will nail-swatters in the construction yard see benefits and retirement? or will an elaborate machination take place to ensure only the cloistered ass-in-seat see affordable flu shots and checkups.
I wrote the summary of my thoughts on this article: https://event-driven.io/en/event_streaming_is_not_event_sour...
That would defeat the point - time with arse in seat does not equal productivity.

I switched to a 4-day work week years ago, and still work 7.5h each day. I found that I'm much more focused during working hours, and spend less time procrastinating - I'm just as productive as I was before.
I see the "living document" argument made a lot, and I don't think it means what some people think it means.

The founders were purposefully vague in several areas of the constitution because they absolutely did want circumstances to determine interpretation, however they were not vague at all about delegated and reserved powers. These things are not "living" in a sense of judicial review.

By "living" document, it was intended that the constitution could be modified by an amendment process. There was never a provision for judicial review.

In fact, then entire concept of judicial review arose from Marbury vs Madison [1] where the court claimed this power.

The purpose of the U.S. Constitution, and one of the things that makes it unique in history, is to limit the powers of the government. The founders believed that individual rights were innate (granted by God), not granted by government and certainly not granted by the federal government.

All powers other than those specifically Delegated to the federal government are reserved for the States - the 10th Amendment makes this clear.

It is not the role of the federal government to decide on "greater good" mandates, those powers are very specifically reserved for the states, who are constrained on what they may do by the Constitution and its amendments.

We, as a country, have allowed the federal government to overstep this in many areas. The DEA, for example, only exists because of a very bad interpretation of the Interstate Commerce Clause, which arose from a bad Supreme Court decision (Wikard vs Filburn)[2] about whether or not you were allowed to grow your own wheat.

Apparently you get a whole army sitting on that certificate culture and feed of from wherever the $$$ comes from. Can't get rid of them.
They get fed into a web crawler and then into a giant hopper whence they become the backbone of that shiny "No Code" technology you've been hearing about.
I did a few interviews this year. I specially asked for a 4 day work week. Almost every single recruiter seemed baffled by the idea. One said they offered it but I have to be available on my off day for “important” (they couldn’t give me a definition) meetings, which defeats the purpose.
My main use case for AoC is practice with new languages. So I tend to prefer to do the same one from several years ago over and over, because then I can focus on grokking the language and not the problem, and I can compare my solutions across languages to get a better feel for how they affect how I solve problems.

The leaderboard is occasionally interesting to me for the first week of December, but, realistically, I can't see getting invested in it without also moving far, far to the west of where I live now.
Extrapolating from an employee's feelings to the behavior of a huge public company is a terrible way to model reality.
Looking forward to the results of your work, good luck and thank you!

What's stopping them from just complaining when you have no SMS or contacts? They would just show a new dialog saying "Give us the real permissions".
