You joke, I assume. My boss was notoriously against working from home. COVID proved him VERY wrong. People where just as effective, if not more. They where much more flexible with customer. It doesn't matter that a client ask you to say a bit longer, if you're already home and have everything set up.
This is a rather contrived argument. In the rare instances that SO was down, I had to make do looking up the original documentation for whatever language I was using.

But these scape sites add nothing of value at all, not even as an involuntary backup/archive type, since they are usually laden with ads.
Saildrone | Multiple Roles | Onsite/Remote | SF Bay Area (Alameda) | Full-Time | https://www.saildrone.com/

Saildrone is the world's leading collector of ocean related in situ data via uncrewed vehicle, above and below the sea surface. Government, scientific, and commercial organizations around the globe rely on Saildrone to deliver the critical information they need—when they need it.

Maybe you saw that we hucked a drone into a category 4 hurricane[1]. Or maybe that we recently raised a $100M series C[2]. Or maybe you didn't see any of that, but you're still intrigued by the idea of autonomous, long endurance sailboats that help us understand our planet better.

Whatever the case, we're hiring for a breadth of different positions across our organization. In software, we're hiring for DevOps, Backend, Full-Stack, Data Pipeline, ML, and Vehicle engineers. Stacks vary from team to team, but we're looking primarily for folks with backgrounds in C++, Python, and/or JavaScript (Node, TypeScript, React). We're remote-friendly for certain positions, though require folks to be onsite for others.

In addition to software engineers, we're also hiring for a bunch of other positions across the company in production/manufacturing, hardware engineering, product management, and more!

You can see a list of open positions on our career page: https://www.saildrone.com/careers

Please apply through our career page; be sure to select "Other" and specify this HN post when asked how you heard about us!

A minor quibble, though I agree with your point overall: lactose intolerance is not an adaptive response to something harmful in lactose (the way getting sick from alcohol is), it's more of an efficiency hack: since mammals normally only consume lactose as babies, our bodies stop producing the lactase enzyme around the time we stop breast-feeding, so we stop being able to digest this type of sugar, which we would normally never encounter again (or no more than trace amounts).

Some 20k years ago, some of our ancestors started consuming milk even in adulthood, and it turned out a few of them had a mutation that allowed them to continue producing lactase even in adulthood. Since milk is actually a very nutritious substance if you can farm it, these people thrived and passed on their genes, in some areas.

Let's move this into the physical world.

Say I have a bedside table that needs repairs. I send it to a carpenter. If I am fool enough to leave my nude photos in the drawer then I should fully expect the carpenter to have seen them. I'm the fool, he's innocent.

If, however, he takes those photos and sends them to a tabloid, now he's the asshole.
I agree that one needs both and that they serve complementary purposes.

But a minimum wage is useful to the extent that there are jobs for your lowest skill, least desirable workers. And ensuring that may take reducing the work week.
Hackernews is full of people with the skill and position to actually influence what decisions the tech world makes.

It's much less forgivable for engineers and managers that work at Google, Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, etc to be cynical and say "yeah Tech is evil what can you do" compared to the average person, and this site is full of people who are in those positions.
I'd like to point out a less popular point that the FDWW does not lie only with employers improving but also is the decision of individuals. I remember reading somewhere about a survey where they asked people what they would do if they had 1 extra day every week (so, 8 days). The response on average was "that would be great because I could get so much more done". Now the "so much done" may not be for primary employer, but the point is that people say they would spend more time with friends and family, if they had more time, but when offered, we don't take the opportunity.

My point is, even if we did reduce our primary employment to 4 days, there are still a lot of people who will simply take this as an opportunity to work an additional part time job or side hustle. Then the bar for standard of living rises with them and we're back to where we started. Until we actually value rest, relationships etc, the maximal output mindset will endure.
Cynically "edge" is the way to say "not everything actually makes sense to run in the cloud but we can't go back on the marketing push that on prem infrastructure is a fossil so we'll call it edge". Or at least that's what it's meant at the last couple of companies I've worked for/with that were convinced they were going to "move everything to the cloud" despite the cries that the goal should be "move most things to the cloud" at the start. The marketing headline that tends to go with it is "edge is where the users are" but really it's come to mean any place you have non cloud infrastructure closer to the user than the internet (i.e. likely every place you have non cloud infrastructure).

Less cynically some try to use it as a differentiator for running cloud services dispersed as close to users as possible for performance reasons vs running cloud services in centralized locations to reap the benefits of hyper scaling. Leaving "on premise infrastructure" to mean "legacy infrastructure" instead of allowing the term to follow any changes in the way that on premise infrastructure is run over time.
I don't think you can realistically de-escalate a lot of cases. Nobody wants to be arrested and sometimes you do need some way to take them in unwillingly. The real question is how we do that without putting people in mortal danger (of either the cops or the person being arrested).

Terrifying Excitement: My First Cfunited Conference Experience from 2007
"evil people"? Do you really think that or are you trying to put words in my mouth?

I'm not arguing for or against any type of project. Even those "mostly due to other reasons" include Bona Fide Occupational Qualifications; a FOSS project for nudist organizations may include pictures of naked people and be developed at someone's work even within EEOC guidelines.

What I am arguing against are the ideas that, when talking about "WTF is Wrong with Open Source Communities": 1) "self-selection" is all that meaningful, esp. as the piece mentions issues with that concept, and 2) lack of discrimination of patch acceptance due to submitter's protected group membership status is the primary standard.
"We do not do expensive and synchronous getPixelsData"

Sounds good (along with the performance graph).

But I would also just like a asynchronous getPixelData for the canvas now.

Does anyone know if there is a chance of this coming anytime soon? From my user perspective, it does not seem too complicated to implement, but the potential benefits seem great.

Because WebGL is working quite stable now and WebGPU not yet.
Well, you can apply the theorem to the problem. Or apply its principles to the problem.
For FANG, even if you get promoted, you are still financially better off leaving and getting rehired (or hired at an equivalent level elsewhere) with a new compensation package at the new level.

The problem is that the day you are promoted, you don’t actually make that much more in TC because so much of it comes from equity, which is only updated once a year and stretches for four years. Thus, it takes up to four years to hit the steady-state comp at the new level. In contrast, new hire packages need to be competitive for folks who have already been at their level for many years.
This looks pretty cool!

I’ve been using OpenDroneMap for this sort of thing to date and have been happy with the results. That said - if you’d like some higher resolution images to play with, let me know. I fly an Autel EVO 2 Pro and would be happy to take some test shots for you. I even have a silver tarp handy.
the blobs certainly aren't. but thats just certain drivers. everything else is.
> There should be no minimum wage.

Spoken like a true capitalist! The young, dumb and disadvantaged should be thankful for the pennies that trickle their way. It's not like they're gonna sue if they get ripped off, they're broke. Besides, they can always move into high paying career ladders just as soon as they can afford to stop taking the bus everywhere. /s
Except the Raspberry Pi Compute Modules for this are now 4-5x their original price. I have a new Turing Pi in box that I refuse to drop $500 on the CM3 boards for. I’d rather just buy a surplus lot of desktop computers to build a toy cluster. I should probably just sell the Turing Pi. Useless, never even got to boot it. My Raspberry Pi 4 cluster works just fine though

what if the company is with 5 people only? at which point they are screwed?
I see. If authorities claim that they are vaguely concerned about a risk you might pose to others, then they can arrest and confine you with no due process for an indeterminate time period.
I don't understand how people hold your view. Would you except a $1/hr job? No, then why do you think other people would. If you can make more money walking through a parking lot picking up change, why would you work. Plus companies wouldn't want to hire at $1/hr because what kind of employee are you getting? Your competitor down the street paying more money would then get the better employees and drive you out of business. This would then lead to wages going up as companies compete for employees.

This is not some ideal spherical cow world, this is how literally the entire labor market works except for the mystical bottom that the government feels they have to be involved in. Why else do you think FAANG's pay so much money? Its because they want to attract the best talent.

In a general sense, can you call something a "settled scientific matter" if so many people are in disagreement about it (ignoring your or my own personal beliefs)? The idea that anything is "settled" with regards to something as young as covid seems a little bold to me.

That aside, there is plenty of social value to trashing people that are in the out group. If you meant is there utility for the whole population, sure, if you can guarantee that you are correct in your position and that shaming will have the desired effect. That seems unlikely in general, but especially in the case of a bunch of redditors shitting on dead people.
> They were also unwilling to collaborate, and unwilling to accept how I approached solving the problem

Wow. Similar thing happened to me with Stripe. It was a system design interview. I had already seen a very similar problem and aced it with Amazon. This person just kept saying "we don't have time for this, we need to get through this whole system" - wouldn't even let me finish my thought. It was arbitrary whether they wanted me to dive into a section of the system more or if I was boring them (and they did not seem excited/engaged to present this interview) and taking too long explaining my decision.

Stripe was the only company I didn't pass (and I passed multiple FAANG interviews) and it was the only company who told me twice that the role I was applying for either was filled or "shifted priorities" and they would scramble to find me another role with another hiring manager. And I am certain it was because of this one system design interview that we just did not click on.

I just applied for data engineering role and after completing the submission, got an instant (automated) rejection via email. I currently work for a FAANG as a lead data engineer and was willing to consider manchester based role for family reasons.

This feels like a limitation of our ability to have constructive conversations online.

Someone can be less than perfect and that can cause them to be victimized.

We should be able to talk about both aspects of this story, perhaps independently.

Some people want to discuss how the offender should be punished, and other people want to discuss how we can behave to prevent being victimized ourselves.

I don't think it's valid to argue that people discussing how to prevent victimization, are somehow "victim blaming".
True. In some countries (e.g. mine) some employer legislation only kicks in when the company has > 30 staff.
I've been meaning to build something like this for a while now, and "performs much better without requiring you to coordinate your project across 4 separate tiny computers." is pretty much my motivation to do it — I want a sufficiently limited setup where I'll hit bottlenecks with relatively small workloads, because the whole point is playing with evading those bottlenecks.
I fondly remember meeting Ben that year. Ben's blog had made him a celebrity in the ColdFusion world. I started attending CFUnited in either 2000 or 2001, it became a yearly pilgrimage for a group of us from East Lansing.

Tangential, but I read A New Kind of Science a few years ago. The topic is very interesting, and the cellular automata stuff seems pretty cool, but the first chapter for it is borderline hilarious. It spends pretty much the entire time telling you how revolutionary the book is, acting like no one has ever been this clever in their entire lives.
> That's a shortsighted view because it would imply that the quality of search doesn't have any bearing on their success. I highly doubt any Googler would agree with that. Especially not the ones who have been working on search specifically.

Google is the goto search engine today, the competition is virtually non-existant, so they don't have to compete anymore. Hence the quality of their search engine going down hill, conflict of interests and what not. It's not shortsighted, it would take billions to compete with Google search and even Bing isn't even trying anymore.

When I look at a Google search page result today I see loads of ads, then their shopping stuff, image search stuff, a list of questions related or not to my search and their answers extracted from third party web pages, then only when I scroll 1 page I see actual search results. Google search wasn't like that 15 years ago.

Googlers are working so that Google makes more money, and Google is an ad company first and foremost.

I'm not saying to abolish the minimum wage. I'm just saying to reduce the nominal workweek before overtime.

> just staffed up more for low skilled positions (and eventually for skilled positions),

There's not an infinite supply of bodies out there. It's not clear where you'd just "find 10% more people"-- at least not without raising comp. And, of course, getting closer to full employment is a good thing in itself...

> but are only making 80% of ...

36/40 = 90%, even in this worst case where someone has their hours reduced from 40 to 36 to avoid overtime pay. I think there's a lot more poor people that are getting 30-35 hours from their job who would be nowhere close to the overtime threshold before, but now that their normal workweek is closer to the max get it sometimes.

Any policy change will hit some people negatively, but I think this would be a net positive for the vast majority of lower earners.
I didn’t read any of that. I read it as more tools in the toolbox.

I wonder if there's a market for a software engineering specific search engine. Skip the shitty content farms, include code from open source projects, and potentially be more smart about finding package uses
I was going to say that one nice aspect is that rollbacks are less frequent because the size of each deployment is smaller. But I've worked on million line code bases that still do weekly CICD pretty well, so I don't know if that advantage really holds water.
I did the exact same thing. It was amazing and well worth the 4/5ths pay. My mental health was improved and the only thing that made me eventually leave was that i was offered 3x the pay to work at a FAANG.

Startups trying to compete for talent should probably take note of the fact that it took 3x more pay for them to poach staff, not 20% more. I'm not saying you'll get away with paying 3x less but you also won't have to worry about losing staff if you're in the ballpark since the 4 day work week is that valuable to anyone lucky enough to have experienced it.
I may as well throw in my anecdote. Interviewed at Stripe. It actually went reasonably well until one interview. Dude said he had attended one of my talks, then proceeded to take contrary positions on anything I had asserted in that talk. I'm a pragmatic person, so I didn't really put up much argument with him. Perhaps this was the wrong course of action? Or perhaps it was doomed from the start? Either way, no job. Hearing all this coming out, I guess I got lucky.
