Email: You can find it on my CV

Hey, am currently actively searching for a new job.
I have 6 year of experience with several languages.
I mostly worked on multi platform applications, both desktop and mobile.
Had some brief stints on backend and frontend too.

Am taking into consideration only remote positions, ideally in a fully distributed company that really embraces this way of working.

By job contracts I believe he's referring to "contract employment" which refers to employment in which you are guaranteed work over some time frame. "At will employment" refers to when you or your employer can terminate your job at any time.

I'm very confident that most people have to a sign a piece of paper listing their pay etc on them before beginning their job.

Fair point on PR, but re:

>> I haven't seen many Stripe employees (other than executives) show up and say that these anecdotes are surprising.

... Do people normally do that? With verifiable, named accounts? Personally, as an employee, I would feel profoundly uncomfortable to publicly comment on such matters of my company; and may well be explicitly and clearly forbidden from doing so. Plus, most people would only really have their own experience to relate, and I at least would be reluctant to share anecdata as useful evidence.

(and then there's a matter of time and prioritization; heck, I work for IBM -- if I tried to counter every negative comment on IBM on Hacker News, that'd be my six new full time jobs, even though I've personally had brilliantly positive experience over two decades and deeply respect all of my colleagues :D )
That would have no effect. Ads are served from adservers, not content pages.
So you keep your hobbies, but you find time to interview by neglecting your responsibility to review code. I assume that means any users of your code are less protected from security vulnerabilities, right?

I don't think anyone should have fondness for their employer -- it's a business relationship -- but you also have an ethical obligation to do what you're being paid to do. Otherwise, don't agree to do it in the first place.
The problem that so many have is that the mandates completely ignore other ways to gain immunity and the fact that not everyone can get the vaccine. Right now the one single line from the government is "Everyone should get vaccinated, it's safe an effective".

To anyone paying attention it's obvious that this is not the case. Everyone should not get vaccinated, some folks can't get the vaccine. And not it's not safe and effective for everyone, some have had a bad reaction.

It would be one thing if the government realized this and placed reasonable exceptions for those who either can't get it or don't need to because they have natural immunity or immunity through monoclonal antibodies. But they don't and they continue to push this one way of getting immunity.

And that's where the distrust forms. More and more it seems that the government doesn't actually give a damn about these edge cases, all they want to do is check the box that says you have been vaccinated.

Contracts are generally only for contracted (i.e. non-employee( work. A self-employed consultant, programmer, designer, etc. will have a contract definining the terms of the engagement.

Employment is "at-will" in most states. Employers are obligated to pay for work performed, but you can be terminated at any time (and you can quit at any time).

Some high-level jobs will also have a written contract but it's not normal for a typical salaried or hourly position, unless there is a union involved.
Well there’s nothing that stops you from being fired or laid off on your first day. If you see that coming, more humane to rescind the offer.
> in most cases, I would expect an offer to be contingent on references

You work in tech in the Bay Area and this is your expectation? It's certainly not mine - I don't expect them to call anyone at my current employer and would be annoyed if they did.

Your opinion of something and the strength with which you hold that opinion can vary independently.

You seem to think that very positive opinions can only be strongly held opinions, but GP had a generic positive opinion, weakly held due to lack of direct experience.

If the strength of your prior is held fixed, then a negative piece of news should change a highly positive opinion more.
On platforms that support OpenGL, it is the Python 2 of Khronos APIs.

Regarding Metal, indeed those that leave OpenGL are more likely to move into middleware than forcing Vulkan upon themselves.

Hence why Khronos started ANARI, as most visualisation products and CAD/CAM people couldn't care less that Vulkan on its present state exists.
>How comfortable were you in general when it came to Swing?

Somewhat unrelated experience, but Kizomba also involves a close embrace with a contact at chest/belly and it feels somewhat uncomfortable/risque at first. But as you learn the dance, you have to really concentrate on maintaining the frame so as to be able to lead and follow correctly, and the whole thing feels in fact quite meditative and not sexual at all.

Lucid Battery Controversy: Engineer Provides Exhaustive Analysis
I don't think you can argue that it's the medical profession's fault that this issue has become politicized without acknowledging that the GOP deserves most of the blame here.

Nearly every common-sense measure implemented during this pandemic has been derided by the right as some sort of unacceptable infringement on individual rights.

Not saying those in power have gotten it all right 100% of the time; I'm especially disappointed with the mask fiasco you mention, but... c'mon. Doctors are not acting as "political agents" in the vast majority of situations that have caused the US's pandemic response to be as lacking as it's been.

> Why shouldn't I be allowed to choose what provider I want to visit for the same treatment? They can have different covid policies, much like schools do. I don't think it should be a federal issue.

You can, by paying for it yourself :P

> You're mistaking treatment for safety protocols. A health care provider can have a certain doctor to nurse ratio or a million other things and they may not all be "optimal" as defined by the powers that be. We should allow people to choose what health care provider is right for them based on their constraints and not restrict options.

I see what you're saying but I think it's an odd distinction, treatment outcomes and safety protocols are clearly linked, why should tax dollars go to treatment provided with substandard safety protocols when the same can be spent for better treatment elsewhere? Functionally it would just end up costing us and the program more over time and lead to worse outcomes. The other issue here is that most patients aren't even going to know enough about the various things you listed to make an informed opinion about them.
Agreed. I think the mistake here wasn't the nudes, it was sending in the phone without wiping it first. Never trust anyone with your phone.
Totally. This is a exactly what I was thinking about yesterday in the thread where someone was asking if Google results were getting worse.

There's no reason the official docs for Python should be lower in the results than a shitty docs clone / spam site when searching for a common package/function in the standard library.
Terminal49 (https://www.terminal49.com) | Full-time/Contract | Remote

* Want to help automate global trade? *

Terminal49 us all-in-one ocean shipment and container tracking platform. Shippers, Importers, service providers and other logistics technologies co's use our data dashboard and APIs to track and manage ocean containers around the world. We take a bill of lading/container number and build a pretty picture of shipping containers journey.

>> How does it work: We pull data from every ocean carrier (Remember Ever Given?) and US/Canada port/terminal, then standardize it and push container milestones and other events to our customers (webhooks etc). We track containers for our customers so they don't have to. 9/10 people still manually track container by visiting carrier websites and logging into terminal websites (paste container numbers, click track and then copy status back into a spreadsheet -- not joking).

>> Our Progress: Went from 0 to $1.5MARR over last 14 months and growing at 20+% MOM. Container tracking is just the beginning. We are going to go deep into drayage/ocean visibility and build everything from predictive APIS and APIs to programmatically take actions (pay fees, appointment booking, book drayage etc) on a container.

>> Why join us? We are a team of 5, fully distributed and profitable. We are about to raise our Series A, so it's the perfect time to join an have impact on our roadmap and company culture.

Roles ------

* Software Engineer (Data Pipelines) [Ruby, Postgres, Redis, BigQuery, JS, Python, DBT, Datadog monitoring)

* Integration Software Engineer (APIs and bot automation) [You must be good at scraping]

* Full Stack software engineer (Client Application - 70% front end / 30% APIS) [Ember.js App and Rails APIs)

* PM/Designer/Account Exec/other open roles

SEEKING WORK | US | Remote - Software boutique with experts in Python/Django, Javascript/React, and UI/UX design.

Hi I’m Artur, from Labcodes. We’re a software boutique based in Brazil. We’re results-driven and internationally recognized for our 7+ years of partnership with US companies.

We’re experts in Python/Django, Javascript/React, and UI/UX design. Our team is comfortable working together and has a strong engineering culture, which is hard and expensive to build on an internal team.

I know that engaging with an external company, even more if we reach you out on a cold approach, is risky, so I’ll leave some links with social proof of our knowledge and experience here.

Talks we gave in major Python/Django conferences https://lab.codes/talks

Client reviews https://lab.codes/clutch-reviews

React open-source libs we maintain https://github.com/labcodes/react-redux-api-tools https://github.com/labcodes/rel-events

A GraphQL-Based Schema Architecture for Microservices
Nav has just open-sourced a new low-code project that is using GraphQL as-a-syntax to define message and event payload formats. The extensible framework currently generates json-schemas, protobufs and client libraries in golang, python and ruby for payload validation.

That problem has not really been solved yet with OpenAPI and other approaches. What is novel here is the elegance and simplicity of the GraphQL syntax used in the context of schema definitions.
It's not just this article, right? There was a whole thread yesterday where some throwaways claimed that maybe the twins are not so nice guys. Now I know very little about them, but I do know that they spend a lot of time polishing their image. You don't have to be interviewed in the newspaper if you don't want, but if you do, you're going to get all the coaching you can for it. They really do seem like smart people to me, but I've spent all of 20 minutes doing due diligence on them.

We have this world where things in the public space are highly polished and curated. If you have a look at some historical interviews from say 50 years ago, you'd sometimes get some person who kinda seemed like a kid in school giving his first speech. It would be clumsy, but like in school you could adjust for the presentation, maybe give them the benefit of the doubt.

In the modern world, everything is presented in the most positive light possible. Someone has sat before every public statement or interview and written down all the positives and negatives, and they've already worked out what is good to focus on, and what needs to be spun. They take an active interest in monitoring the public space for what is said about them, and they already have the rebuttals in place. It's actually quite predictable: apologize and say it was a one-off, claim that the bad thing has been dealt with, point out that the information may be wrong, and point out the ulterior motives of the person making the claim.

In light of this, it's simply hard for me to give the benefit of the doubt, and it's very similar with any other spin-heavy communications. It's a bummer, because in my ideal world people would just put stuff out like they see it and listeners wouldn't have to try to un-spin what they'd been told. I'm sure a lot of dishonest communicators hide among the honest, which is their whole game.

> What were your priors? Stripe pays well, has a great product, leadership is great, hires top-tier developers, is a great place to work, etc. (making stuff up here idk what your priors were) but all of that is erased because you saw a random article about two people having offers rescinded and you don't even know if it's true?

Unfortunately, it's like when some person gets outed for being a creep, in the genre of MeToo. One or two independent allegations, I tend to think "hmm gotta see both sides". Somewhere like 4 or 5, I certify the creep status and laminate a card for them. Granted a business is not a single person, so those numbers may need adjustment, but you really don't need much to ruin a reputation.
Doesn't work. That recognizes Code and Studio as separate queries, polluting the feed generated.
Only if the domain is violating a trademark.
It's enough to just have execs stepping in IMO, since they are pretty much top of the ladder. The only thing I'll learn from random Stripe employees is commentary in the vein of "works on my machine!"

Disgruntled ex-employees will leave bad feedback, people who have invested a lot of themselves in the company will leave good feedback (and perhaps not even see some of the problems others see).
A couple years ago I went through their hiring process and cycled through 3 different job titles / roles during the process. The final role wasn't something we even talked about, the HM came up with it on their own. It felt like a downgrade from my then current role. All were for IC's.

I had a "we want to make you an offer" call with recruiting, with no mention of comp, and they asked for references. That was the first mention of reference checks in the process. I got cold feet because of the churn with the actual role they wanted me to perform, the lack of communication on pay, and the extra time and effort to line up references some of whom were still working at the same company as me. There were enough red flags for my comfort level to end the process at that point without involving other people in my network.

Back to the article, maybe the offers are being rescinded after reference checks? I understood that reference checks were falling out of favor because of liability for the person or company giving the feedback, but yet they seem to be coming back.
Would you have an issue if we put "suspected paedophile and open paedophile apologist" in the opening lines for philosophers like Foucault, Sarte and gore vidal? Those are also objective facts.

I would rather have dinner with a antisemite than a paedophile.
Ah, this is much more reasonable. I interpreted it as another whittling of people where they would hire a pile House MD style and see which ones are actually desired.
I didn't have an offer rescinded, but did have a pretty bad experience interviewing at Stripe last year. I interviewed in March, and didn't hear back until I PMed a hiring manager on Blind nine months later. Then I was told something like "the role isn't available any more but you can interview again for a new role". I re-interviewed, and was finally rejected.

I blamed covid at the time, but in retrospect none of the other places I interviewed had similar issues. If a candidate doesn't pass the interview, just reject the candidate!
Optimising a Magnetic Launcher
That isn't the kind of medical intervention (practiced by PTs) that I was talking about.

I was referring more to the different manipulations and exercises they choose for people. You can blind those studies by using sham exercises. They do the same thing (within ethical boundaries) for certain surgical procedures[1].

I've never received such a thing.
Sounds like a design issue, no? If Apple implemented it, they'd call the feature "Secure Liferaft" or something equally silly, but I have no doubt in my mind that they could engineer a proper solution for it. Today's users go out of their way to hide files and folders, so why not give them a chance to do so the right way? The technology is there, all you need is a little marketing pizzazz and a 30 second ad spot with Billie Eilish in the background.
TBF to Gandhi, IIRC they tend to give favourable prices when you buy domains or deposit funds in bulk. Their opening tier of prices are indeed pricey. Their API is excellent though.

I've always found Namecheap to be price competitive and their customer service is pretty good also. API was always a bit basic (think that had a lot to do with enom implementation)
So for some APIs, Google does whatever they feel like it, e.g. Project Fungus, Houdini and PWAs.

But for WebGL it matters what Apple does?
How do you "act accordingly" when you want to partake in sharing digital private documents with your wife? In order to follow that advice, you'd have to stop using smart phones entirely, and that's not really feasible today.

Sure, it's lurid in this case because it was nudes, but this could have just as easily been identity theft or something more mundane but equally wrong for Google to access.

No, this is what we have laws for. What Google did is wrong and if the person responsible cannot be criminally prosecuted, we should seek legislative changes to enable prosecution in cases like this in the future. This is not merely a matter of individuals trusting Google too much. The individuals don't have much choice; that's where the law can step in.
