As an aside, I think these are great. As a photographer, I'd _love_ to use something like this to show my photos "in a space" virtually with my photos on the wall, etc. I tried to do that in Hubs but I found the UI a bit infuriating. Couldn't figure it out. But I'm hopeful because Mozilla team is great.
DefenseStorm | Seattle, WA | Full Stack Engineer, Data Scientist, Data Scientist Intern, Software Engineer - Machine Learning, Data Engineer | Full-time | REMOTE or ONSITE https://www.defensestorm.com

DefenseStorm is a cybersecurity startup that helps banks and other financial institutions manage the deluge of security data that they produce. We take all of the security critical information and then alert on what's important, generate reports, show cool dashboards, and simplify demonstrating compliance to their regulators and auditors. I got my job here through an HN Who's Hiring post 5 years ago, and I love working here. Strong engineering culture - weekly hour 'topic sync' to share knowledge, minimal meetings, flexible hours/wfh, happy customers that give good feedback, and interesting problems to solve. Our engineering team has been fully remote for COVID and we are conducting interviews remotely, but we are just now starting to open up the office for those who are vaccinated and wish to come in.

For Full stack engineers, we use Angular, Typescript, Java 11, PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, and we're built on AWS. Our interview loop is one or two ~1-hour phone screenings, followed by a ~4 hours video call - and we've designed it to approximate realistic day-to-day coding and code review (no algorithm riddles).

Machine learning is going to be a core part of what we do going forward, and we’re planning to significantly grow the team this year after building out our first couple applications. We’re looking for data scientists to build our models and engineers with experience in data pipelining, designing and deploying ml architecture. Additionally we have opportunities available for full stack engineers without previous experience in ML to work on data-engineer-like projects and assist with productizing the outputs of our models.

1.a) Especially considering the lack of advertising (especially on mobile) making for a consistent experience between the headline vs the comments.
It seems like you're responding to what OP said, but you're bringing in a completely different argument that derails the conversation. You make a good point, but the point you've made is the conversational equivalent of stabbing someone in a fist fight.

A similar conversation was probably had in the 70's when the national speed limit was 55 mph.

They buy a car that can do 120 but you can't legally drive it that fast.

They say, "Cars are too expensive! If I pay these prices for one I want to drive 70 mph!"

You say, "Hydrocarbon emissions are destroying the atmosphere"

See? Don't get me wrong, I get you, but your response doesn't address the original statement. Your reply is either insulting or needlessly aggressive, and that isn't conducive to either side getting what they want or finding an acceptable compromise.
Another interesting take.

2011 is when I was in Afghanistan and I can attest that both Joe Biden and Barack Obama lied to the American people about the progress in the war during that time because they ultimately wanted out. Let me juxtapose my experience with Mr Biden's words:

> "We are in a position where if Afghanistan ceased and desisted from being a haven for people who do damage and have as a target the United States of America and their allies, that's good enough. That's good enough. We're not there yet.

To be clear, the Taliban is the only force we were fighting in Helmand and Nimroz provinces.

> Look, the Taliban per se is not our enemy. That's critical. There is not a single statement that the president has ever made in any of our policy assertions that the Taliban is our enemy because it threatens U.S. interests.

The only thing I can think of during that time that this correlates to is the fact that they wanted out so bad they were willing to make peace with the Taliban. The Taliban's guerilla techniques and crafty use of IEDs and VBIEDs were having a huge impact on US troops and were dessimating the local population. To the extent that the Taliban figured out that if they just bombed places we went that local populaces would blame us for attracting the Taliban to their area.

> If, in fact, the Taliban is able to collapse the existing government, which is cooperating with us in keeping the bad guys from being able to do damage to us, then that becomes a problem for us."

This is almost a complete reverse course in what he had just said. Basically, the Taliban is not a threat until they are. He's basically trying to coax the people guilty of a series of heinous war crimes that they can also be regarded as a political entity. I'm reminded of the whitewashing of the IRA, who shouldn't have been a political party either.

Human rights has everything to do with their connection to the word "terrorism".

Agree that MLB should have its antitrust exemption revoked, but relegation would be a tough pill to swallow with how much has been invested in MLB stadiums. Globe Life Field opened in 2020 at a cost of $1.1 billion. The numbers don’t work if suddenly it’s hosting minor league games.

I'll answer your question when you ante in.
>Locals know the directions, not having maps is a handicap for everybody but mostly the attacker.

I suspect the locals only know the directions for routes they commonly travel (eg. for work/groceries/school). If you're fleeing, you'll need it just as much the invaders does.
The code may have been written in C but many drivers are distributed in binary only form with headers. Unfortunately the binaries are often ARM only.

> If someone is demanding a $450K/year base compensation as a co-founder

I see no mention of numbers aside from fractions in my comment. This is truly jumping the shark in order to form an argument.

> A co-founder would want to focus on equity and take something like $150K/year so the company could hire 1-2 additional engineers with the other $300K/year.

This is a rather bold assertion and you're stating it with the tone of authority and general application across the entire spectrum of what makes a startup, in any sector, of any flavor. You're also applying your own personal bias as a statement on a very personal situation offered anecdotally. Both are neither fair nor wise.

Startups come in a million flavors. What a person's responsibilities to their family are does not equate to not being "cut out for the risk-taking," as risks themselves are of great variety, nor does a co-founder need to focus on equity alone. I'm fortunate to have a wide network of colleagues that include co-founders that are in the game for long-term viability and stability to provide equitable income for themselves and their families, and their employees, as well as a return to investors. It's clear that your view is one through the lens of "to the moon on the back of a unicorn," where in fact there are many different long-term strategies. I personally find the unicorn startup path distasteful and disingenuous, as there's such an incredible rate of failure. Modesty and consistent, steady growth are now highly underrated.

Overall your message echoes that of the proposed co-founder I mentioned in my original post, and is antithetical with my views on business and startups in general. To those who may be reading the parent above, know that there are many successful startups that don't subscribe to the same philosophy.
I never criticized the dummy part of the statement and there's nothing wrong with being ignorant of a topic, everyone has to start learning from somewhere. I criticized the broke part of the statement. Rhetorical or facetious or otherwise, someone who is broke who doesn't have a sufficient understanding of finance has no way of making money off of an article they don't understand.
HKTs only stick out when you're in a rigidly structured programming environment where the compiler has to understand what you're writing. In old-fashioned static languages, the following is impossible, while in Python it's unremarkable:

def class_closure(x):
class A(object):
def tell_me_x(self):
return x
return A

Then,

class_closure(7)().tell_me_x() => 7

This is just a weird pattern (with some rare uses) in Python, but in a strictly typed language, you're going to have to be able to express what the signature of class_closure is. In this case, it'd be something like,

class_closure: Int -> Type

The signature is a type that refers to, within itself, the concept of types. That makes it "higher-kinded." Before researchers got a grip on the theory surrounding this, you could only have either languages where that was impossible, or languages that gave up on static type checking entirely.
I have a feeling, based on the presentation of the errors, that it is no longer available in any languages.

My last name is "to" and my first name has a non-standard spelling, so I managed to get me@firstname.to

Communication of it isn't too bad. I usually say "the word me at {first name}.to, spelled the same way as my name" (since oftentimes they ask for my name first). Other times I literally just spell it out.
Do Go generics support covariance and contravariance?
yah, it's fraught with edge cases, but every browser/dom feature seems to need to run a gauntlet of them anyway, so i'm not sure this one is especially complicated.

but the slowness of new features is definitely frustrating, even if understandable.
RM2 also has a nasty subscription service required to get all the features.
If it does, that's be great, as I do have a PayPal account to solve a problem I had with one payment platform, but when I last looked it only offered TOTP
I don't believe that's what they were saying at all ("keep a good thing going"?) but I appreciate your effort to steelman it into a reasonable point of view.

Streak (YC S11) Is Hiring a Head of Ops
The year is 2012. Blender is an open source 3D modeling and CG software. There are hundreds of crummy plugins and hacks (and a handful of good ones,) whereas Maya is battle tested, developed by professional Autodesk engineers. It comes with good documentation and support. Blender documentation and tutorials were essentially youtube videos with cheesy electronic music in the background. (I'm probably getting some details wrong, but you get the point.)

You're not wrong in your assessment. However you're looking at it as it is right now, as opposed to where it's headed for in the future and what it could ultimately become. While CG and computer hardware are very different fields, the effects of communal knowledge sharing are very similar and very powerful. When bored high schoolers and broke college kids (and curious adults) can tinker with the tech, they enter the industry with that much more experience and/or have another avenue for career transition. And that is far more valuable than the mild (and sometimes nonexistent) conveniences of ARM over RISC-V.
I really hope Jetbrains exits Russia. There are some good programmers in Russia, but there are plenty of alternatives in countries not led by homicidal dictators.
On the first time, I agree.

However once a 204 response is discovered in the logs the domain or URL can be blocked going forward.

I generally do not use a Javascript-capable browser nor enable Javascript when I am using a popular browser so JS-triggered requests for no content fail on account of no JS engine available. In cases outside the browser, e.g., checks to detect captive portals, I block them with a proxy.

> You do know that neither merchants nor folks writing tax or sales software can "get rid of sales taxes", right?

On the other hand, folks who write tax or sales software don't need to cater their software to US tax laws. Just don't use it there. At least from Wikipedia it seems, that the project leads are European.

A living legend. Ethernet was groundbreaking...I have memories of helping my dad wire our house, we bought like 400ft of cable, a wire stripper, and a ton of RJ45 plugs and customized them to the perfect length. Hardwired high speed gaming, video production, on stage audio monitors, so many things benefited and are still used today. RIP.
Lob (YC S13) | SF, Remote in states listed below | full time | Node, Elixir, Golang, AWS | lob.com/careers

Lob is building an API to connect the online and offline world. We have two products, Print and Mail and Address Verification. With the Print and Mail API, a company can send mail to people with a simple API request. Think Sendgrid but for physical mail.

Even on desktops, smaller keyboards are better ergonomically (because they allow you to put your mouse closer).

Home, End, PgUp and PgDn can be accessed on most (all?) compact keyboards as Fn+Left, Fn+Right, Fn+Up and Fn+Down. I use those very frequently, to me they're actually more convenient than dedicated keys (because Fn is near Ctrl, Alt and Shift, which are also used for cursor manipulation).

I personally don't care for large ('inverted T') arrow keys, but there are certainly laptops (e.g. Lenovo's ThinkPad line) that offer large arrow keys if that's something you desire.

And even back in the '80s there existed various keyboard layouts (PC, Macintosh, Sun).
I wrote a long response to this but I don't think it's worth debating these points further as we probably see and experience the world differently.
the difference includes -- a physical computer you use and care about, need to trust, with a lot of setup and your own efforts involved, may be a single-point endpoint with value and/or state, which is by definition vulnerable versus an ephemeral VM or Docker that is repeatedly created and destroyed in moments, has almost no lasting value since a new one is only a minute away, and has no personal value or customization.

In my experience from the hiring side we never call back people but very often shuffle promising candidates between different roles. Like we are interviewing people because we need a Foo-guru and one candidate is kinda meh in Foo but shows promise as a Baz-person then we for sure let both the person and our recruiters and the Baz team know. And our team receives similar referals from other teams in the company too.
Google has shown a lot of initiative already in disabling Maps features to prevent their abuse. [1] I have no doubt that the Maps team and its execs will respond to this quickly.

> Actually I am out of date, it looks like the South Korea maps are vector based now. Maybe the law changed. It definitely used to be the case.

The South Korean mapping law allows for the domestic service (still subject to slight censorship), but Google didn't want to put any servers other than edge servers to South Korea so as a sort of protest it essentially froze the map for South Korea from November 2016 to December 2021, when Google finally gave up and established a new domestic data center.
Does Go support separate compilation? The approach sounds like a change in the implementation of a generic function (changing the gcshapes) could cause client code to break unless it is recompiled as well. What am I missing?
Laravel Origins: The Documentary
Nah, i’ve got a thick skin. I’ve been on the Internet for over three decades. I’ve been doing this since the Usenet days.

I’ll let you guys get back to saying how bad the Russians are for using Google maps. Forget I even brought up the brainstorming idea.

Quite honestly I should have know people would go with “you first”. But when I go with “me first” people spend the entire time talking about how it’s a bad idea, missing the point completely

A lot of people here probably don’t even remember the Cold War.

It’s all about to get pretty real.

Considering all the people who are going to die, I had to try.
FWIW, the team is retrieving details from the support screenshot that you shared (imgur), but your contact info might be the fastest path to getting this resolved.
The law as I recall it a decade ago was a bit more specific: you could only store and process the data in South Korea. Thus, the whole planet's tiles were rendered in production on Borg, except for SK, whose tiles had to be rendered on a workstation under somebody's desk in the Seoul office. That meant no fancy mapreduces, let alone any rendering on the fly like the Maps API allows (selecting what details to show on the map, their look, etc.). Then, IIRC, the rendered bitmap tiles had to be pushed from the workstation to production. Vector maps, at the time, would have been heresy. Google asked for years to have the laws changed. Korean companies weren't affected, at least until they moved their own rendering to e.g. a cloud provider outside the country.
Didn't Poland deny they'll send fighter jets to Ukraine?
This argues even more against x86 as it translates to an internal ISA.

In effect, the argument becomes that decode-to-risc-cost + risc-execution-cost is always going to be bigger than risc-execution-cost.

And this is before you consider the effects of things like looser memory ordering or more registers reducing unnecessary MOVs.
Not sure why you wouldn't want to take an IQ test, they don't strike me as any sillier than the multitude of other questions I've been asked for hiring.

Most places I've seen that use IQ tests usually hire from non traditional backgrounds. People without experience, bad GPAs etc...
> And to be honest, the kind of experience that someone who worked 15 years as a developer brings to the table is probably not going to be the kind of experience that makes or breaks a startup.

Hard disagree here, as many many junior devs treat startup/greenfield work as their personal playground for trying esoteric tech, prematurely building their own platform, etc.
This is a bizarre perspective, especially because our lessons in Afghanistan and Iraq have taught us that the invasion itself occurs simply and uneventfully. Remolding the conquered land to become invader friendly is, on the other hand, an endeavor that both the US and Russia know is infeasible and a losing proposition.
Given the number of different factions involved and the apparent use of mercenaries / undercover type operatives i dont think this so far from a possibility in some ways.

Related:I hate to think about it but i have lots of micro controllers, gps receivers, rc receivers and transmitter. Plenty of control system software adapable to many vehicle types. pressure, acceleration, ir, radar sensors..

I think if there is serious prolonged war in modern countries it wont look anything like history.. its as much about what tech is on the go when war breaks out, its what evolves during it.

Confusing, conflicting seemingly too obvious information is all just noise that floods the senses and overloads them.. but doesnt mean to say there isnt a signal in the noise.

i dont know whats going on here, but i think that we are at a stange time in history.

Edit: i am not saying i have any plans or anything, full on pacifist here. i just like rc drones etc. But lots of people have this stuff and its in tons of kids toys too.
