Used to do full-stack development, realized my real love is for design. Looking for a UI Design / Product Design job. Thank you and have a great day.
I would love to work on open source, well designed, free software to control distributed energy resources and building load. Currently I've worked for several companies doing this, but I think that closed source, non free software will never allow us to truly reach the full electrification and decarbonization we need, and the power grid, both generation and transmission, is only getting more complex to manage with the old school tech approaches I've seen. I want to build the free and open OS for the distributed grid, but I need to support my family first.

This isn't to beg, but imagine all the others who have similar stories to the above, like in medicine or education, and don't have the freedom to actually do those things because they are instead pouring effort into adtech or something else that's not as important to the world (no ad trolls please, it's just an example). Instead, we have risk averse profit motivation as our major path to innovation, and that's quite bad, in my opinion.

I always felt there were millions of buried gold in certain parts of America. Buried money, and gold.

Back in the day before banks we buried, or hid our valuables.

There must be stashes of loot buried in people's back yard?

I bought a metal detector years ago, and got bored very quick. I found a quarter, and a pot metal medallion.

Here's a good treasure story.

I knew a lady years ago who went through a rough divorce. Her husband made his wad in the 80's as a drug dealer. When they were fat, and happy, they would whoop it up. This one night they went to the Fairmont Hotel for dinner. She drove home because he was to inebriated.

They lived out at the beach. In a drunken stupor, along with other substances running through his body, he decided to hide his "house money".

He walked out of the house with his pipe filled with $800,000.

He woke up the next day not remembering anything.

She told him what he did.

He rushed out to the back yard, and nothing was disturbed on the ground. He frantically ran around the neighborhood looking for his pipe of money. He went to the beach to no avail.

They were both disappointed.

But it was only part of their money.

Years later they got a divorce.

She told me this story many times. I was excited because I was planning on going to the new owners of the house, and offer free landscaping. It was a long shot, but I love capers.

The big problem was his money bank pipe was pvc, but it was still on my mind.

A few years later, my divorced friend saw the new owners of the beach house in Safeway, and told them the story.

I doubt they found any money, but I will always remember the lost beach/drug money.

(Both passed away, so I feel this treasure story can be told.)
From someone who did it: Fixing your diet matters far, far more than your activity level. It takes much more work to burn a thousand calories than to simply not eat it in the first place.

I lost 40 pounds since the pandemic, by fixing my diet to eat 1500 calories of salad and vegetables instead of delivery and takeout fast food. This was with less activity, an hour or two per week of walking/biking as opposed to bike commuting every day.

Weight loss isn't about the morality of punishing yourself with exercise. It's just about the math of calories in vs out, and it's a lot easier to make big changes to the intake side.
Magic bullet for me: Podcasts.

I'm in my 40's and have never been able to motivate myself to exersize regularily. Until about three years ago when I tied listening to podcasts to going for walks in the middle of the day. Now I walk for an hour a day and hardly notice I'm doing it.

Swap walk out for something else if you like, but for me the absolute key was getting addicted to a bunch of 45 min to 1 hour podcasts and treating myself once a day.
C/C++ is great for AI/ML/Scientific computing because at the end of the day, you have tons of extremely optimized libraries for "doing X". But the thing is, in those use cases your data is "trusted" and not publicly accessible.

Similarly in trading, C/C++ abounds since you really do have such fine manual control. But again, you're talking about usage within internal networks rather than publicly accessible services.

For web applications, communications, etc.? I expect we'll see things slowly switch to something like Rust. The issue is getting the inertia to have Rust available to various embedded platforms, etc.

I haven't updated and I have blocked it from getting to WAN.
San Jose is over a million people. That counts as "big" in the US, I think? 10th most populous.

The "suburbs" between SJ-SF-Oakland range from very dense urban areas, to very sparse (and expensive) bedroom communities, to uninhabited (protected land) areas.

I think it's fair to loosely characterize SV as a big city, from almost all US perspectives.
Agreed. Most sites don't even need JS, and for those that do, they'd be far better off with a desktop application.

I've found the same. Particularly coming in nicely when I add some kind of parsing in and out of a data structure and it auto fills in all the parameters.
I've been finding it amazingly useful from the outset. It's like it reads my mind generating whole correct functions just from a small comment or example, and it's great at extrapolating repetitive increments/transformations. Write a small comment telling it what you want and it's uncanny what it can spit out.
It was a sad day when Rdio was bought by Pandora and shutdown. They were the best.
>More recently, we've also gotten data for many vaccines showing that they're also effective for children and adolescents.

This is my principal area of concern. If I recall correctly, the studies that were submitted to FDA for approval for young children did not show improvement in hospitalizations or deaths, in fact there was not a single death in any of the groups, rather they relied on showing the jabs successfully produced antibodies (a much lower standard).
If this board is $200 and the 4 raspberry pi modules you plug in need an adapter at $10 each and cost between $25 (1g ram, no wireless, no storage) and $70 (8g ram, no wireless, no storage), and we consider Mini-ITX to be tiny (debatable), we've got a budget of $340 to $520 if I can arithmetic. And we need motherboard + cpu + ram.

PC parts prices aren't great right now, but a AMD Ryzen 5600G @ $240, an ASRock A520M-ITX/ac @ $105, and a Silicon Gaming 2x 16GB of DDR4-3200 for $90, is $435 [1]; assuming the firmware shipped with the board is new enough for the CPU (i didn't check if you can flash this board without a supported CPU). You can limit the CPU power in firmware settings, and to hold close to the power usage of this cluster board.

If you only get 4G ram, you can save some money, but not enough to get under the lowest pi cluster with current pricing. If you need it less expensive, you could maybe get an older AMD processor or look at intel.

If you want smaller than itx, it gets hard. Maybe reuse a chromebox or similar, but then you don't have much choice of hardware and connectivity.

Amazon Music has a library too.
While I generally you are 100% on point, this posts both refer to the original articles, and makes a interesting point: there are a many companies whose goals are at least questionable.

I don't know how I could sleep at night if I was working for say google or facebook.
Reading The World as Will and Representation presented me with several insights on the under considered nature of this era's technological revolution. The philosophical issues presented by this era have likely been considered in full generally, but hardly enough specifically. “The animal feels and perceives; man, in addition, thinks and knows; both will. The animal communicates his feelings and moods by gesture and sound; man communicates thought to another, or conceals it from him, by language.” Coding strikes me as a language that is not readily interpretable. A language that is not readily interpretable is wholly inexpressive, or else it is expressive only by dint of extreme contrivance. This special case, and the outsized power it produces in those that are fluent in it, leads to no few deleterious ends. If one wants to discover another facet of code's esoteric purpose, Schopenhauer is a good read.
BuzzSumo | Remote 100% | Software Engineer | Full Time

Looking for 2 senior backend engineers and 1 senior frontend engineer.

Backend: You will predominantly be working on building a new platform using Kotlin, but you will also be expected to help maintain an existing Ruby on Rails platform. We use Elasticsearch, Kafka, Redis and Postgresql. Job ad can be found here: https://jobs.jobvite.com/careers/brandwatch/job/o6v4gfwF?__j... (ignore the part where it says that the position is based in the UK)

Frontend: You will become part of the frontend team and will be working on our web app (Javascript/Typescript/Vue & PHP/Laravel). We have little to no technical debt on the frontend and there are some exciting things on the roadmap. No job ad live for this role yet, but if you are interested, send me an email.

We are a small team, iterate fast and ship code almost daily. Few meetings, lots of flexibility and I think we managed to keep the startup spirit in our team after the acquisition. We are 100% remote (always have been) and have great work/life balance.

If you're interested, send your resume to rmuller@brandwatch.com
HMBradley | All Types of Software Engineers and Product folks | REMOTE/Los Angeles | Full Time

at HMBradley we're on a mission to rebuild how consumers interact with Financial products. Our flagship product is a checking account that pays higher interest when you save more of what comes in. We launched barely 18 months ago and have acquired more than half a billion dollars in deposits (We literally grew so fast our bank account product is currently invite-only!)

But our goals are much loftier than a bank account and we're just getting started on where we go from here. We've raised over $60M to build the best loyalty program in finance. Our core advantage over every bank you've ever done business with is that we don't have a silo'd structure requiring each individual product to be profitable on its own but instead build an ecosystem around each of our customers where the rewards get better with each new product they use.

In the very first days of HMBradley I used to tell people that we were "Mailing DVDs" in reference to Netflix. Today I would say we're just starting our version of "Shipping Ladders" like Amazon Prime.

These individual endeavors are helping us create an ecosystem of best in breed financial products that revolve around the customer experience, (which is what we believe is actually broken in banking) rewarding customer's with sound financial habits incentivizing good financial behaviors we believe is a win for everyone involved.

Fundamentally we're a software company that builds financial products. I'm a fourth time founder and I'm not here to sell this company, for us this is IPO or bust, we're swinging for the fence and the next 18 months is comprised of the most aggressive roadmap I've seen in any software company, much less in financial services. If we succeed we have a chance at becoming one of the largest companies the world has ever seen.

I often tell our employees that I cannot promise success, but I can promise fireworks. After the last 18 months of fireworks I'm proud to say there will be much more where that came from. We'd love to have you join us for the ride.

If you're an entrepreneur that's had a hard time working inside of other orgs I think we might have the exact right environment to let you thrive here because that is exactly the kind of founder I've been my entire career.

This has made it incredibly hard to be an employee at other places. My mission is to make this a place where incredibly entrepreneurial people can thrive but also have the benefit of building from a solid foundation and a massive set of learnings and shared services to leverage for the future.

If this sounds interesting and you don't see a job listed on our recruiting site feel free to reach out to me directly at zach [at] hmbradley.com and I'll get you in touch with the right person. We're posting new roles every day and we're looking for several single-threaded leaders for new product initiatives that are not listed on our site today.

We have a fair amount of jobs listed here: https://hmbradley.rippling-ats.com/

If you don't see what you're looking for feel free to shoot me an email at zach [at] hmbradley.com
Recently I've found duckduckgo to provide better coding results than Google, which really surprised me. I was only using duckduckgo at home for privacy, and Google at work because "best tool for the job", but I think that might not be the case anymore.
I'm sensing a subtle King Crimson reference here...

Safari is pretty behind the times as browsers go, especially with WebGL. For instance, it doesn't support WebGL 2 (except maybe in beta?), which means you have to use WebGL 1. I'm guessing that's where some of the performance issues would come from.

The golden rule of exercise: frequency beats duration beats intensity. We're habitual beings and quickly establish behavioural patterns so just do something (anything) every day and you'll improve your fitness surprisingly fast. A fast walk or a slow run outdoors.

Weight loss, however, starts and ends in the kitchen.
That's odd - I tried the same page, and felt it was very responsive, up until I did 7+ square root operations. This is in Vivaldi, on a Windows 10 (2.5 year old fairly beefy "gaming") laptop, with a bunch of tabs and Spotify running. I do have uBlock Origin enabled, though even with it disabled that page seems fine to me.

Not defending or excusing it, or doubting your results - I guess mostly lamenting we don't have more consistent performance across platforms...
>512GB of internal storage

That you have to share with photos/videos, apps, downloads, and everything else.

>syncing your music to convert higher-bitrate music to 128kbps (or 192 or 256kbps, your preference) AAC files.

Yeah, see - this isn't really your music collection then but reliance on Apple's Library and them "matching it" with what they have. I could never sync from their library b/c their library wouldn't have huge chunks of my actual digital collection.

I have hip hop mixtapes, Grateful Dead livesets, local artists who never had a major record deals (Fighting Gravity and a variety of punk bands), EDM live sets, and tons of stuff not in the Apple/iTunes Library they could never do anything with.

Secondly, like 30% of my collection is in FLAC, which Apple doesn't even support.

>I have no idea where you get the idea that you can't fit a decent-sized music library on an iPhone.

Because my music library is:

Server: $ du -sh Music/

905G Music/

Phone: 305GB ( i recently purged a ton to make space for videos/pictures )

Even if i was dealing with 60GB and even if i could rely on what was in their library - pulling down 60GB to a phone is painful. It takes me literal SECONDS to swap and SDcard from one phone to another as opposed to hours over WiFi.

Nevermind on android i can move files via ftp, smb, or any number of protocols. Even over the wire - it's plug and play. Copy and paste through any Windows, Mac or Linux file manager.

Thus, I don't have to rely on apple's crappy proprietary music apps to move files over a network or even a USB/lightning cable.

>Maybe you're one of those who believes that only lossless audio is worth listening to, and didn't consider that that's a niche opinion...?

No. I have a lot that's 320K mp3s. In fact, the grand majority of it is. Maybe 5-10% of my collection is worse quality than that. Virtually nothing is at 128k or worse. I typically stay away from Apple specific formats, lossless or not, regardless of their benefits.
> I don't know what that library is right now

Are you serious? In which language do you program that you don't have to use multiple libraries daily? You just talked about NPM.

In your example, the C# could output DLLs that have functions that can be called by the Java code. This can give the same encapsulation you get with your multiple services example, including separate deployments, different repo, different language, etc.

You could also use different processes. Please tell me you know what an executable is...

> Meanwhile I could set up the separate repos/microservices by the end of the day

That's because someone set it up for you, not because it's faster.

In your hypothetical scenario of "I needed to let a remote team add some functionality to my, say, Spring backend but they really prefer to write C# and have their own CI/CD system" you didn't mention that "…but we already have a fast way of setting up micro services".

> It is unfortunate that the "micro" in "microservice" is often misunderstood*

It's not, you're using the term loosely. "Two services" do not make a micro service architecture.

Sorry to be blunt, but I'm getting the feeling you're not talking out of experience, but rather repeating popular talking points.
Show HN: Technical demo of 2D puzzle “Tangled Stones” (open source)
Ask HN: Casual/Easy Hosted Database?
I like to use Heroku for hobby web servers, but those are ephemeral (disk gets cleared on deploy)

I'd like to pair it with the cheapest, simplest managed persistence I can get. No real requirements around performance or scaling, don't really care what DB it is; I'd use JSON files or SQLite if I had a persistent file system. I don't want to mess with any more configuration than necessary, I just want a place to put data where it won't disappear on me.

Any suggestions?
The type-based error messages can be pretty opaque until you have a good grasp of the type system, so those can be harsh/seem unhelpful when you're trying to learn the language (and in this case solve daily problems with time constraints too). Were those the problem or did you have some other examples in mind?
Here is a technical demo of my open-source game. It lacks a menu and any settings, and the graphics are highly sketchy. My main goal was to test the idea of the gameplay.

Summary:

There is a set of paired connected stones on the game field. The player's task is to untangle them and place them in the hole at the bottom of the screen.
That's something of a sweeping generalization. Zink has managed to beat a native OpenGL driver in some particular benchmarks.

In many other benchmarks, it loses. That being said, it still manages decent performance, which is extremely impressive for a one man project using only the Vulkan interface. It wouldn't surprise me if it eventually becomes the default OpenGL driver in the open source driver stack (for HW capable enough to support a Vulkan driver, obviously).
It depends on your personality but working from home allows us to be more connected with our mind and body (or connect them more).

I'm not a morning person but I try to find the time for a morning walk and get fresh air.

I take long lunch break to do sports or hike, this is my favorite time of the day for physical activities.

Don't be too comfortable sitting in front of the computer, try standing up or kneeling down. Go take a walk or do some exercise if you feel like it.

I'm amazed at how my brain switches on when I'm taking a break with a little sporty walk.

It's yours to find out what suits you the best.
what worked for me was:
Eating less take out, cook at home more
Going for walks

At a certain point, wouldn't the tiny fast pebble just drill through the fort and leave a small, hot hole in its wake? Like a big neutrino?
