SEEKING WORK - REMOTE

Need help with migrating to next.js?

Looking for a React developer who would be productive from day 1?

Looking for full-time remote roles in a well-funded stable company (I will work in the company's core office hours. 0 issues with timezones. Been working remotely before covid)

Building websites since 2016, working with React since 2018 and have 2 years of production next.js experience

Super comfortable with Next.js, React, Redux (with sagas), tailwind, material ui, styled-components, SEO schemas, scalable deployment on GCP/AWS/Vercel, incremental migration and parallel deployment (WordPress blogs, new next.js code and old code working on the same domain)

I value web performance (web vitals) and accessibility and could create high conversion dynamic pages

Are you saying that electronics devices continuously let out tin dust so we end up breathing in this stuff?
Is cultivated meat sufficiently efficient compared to the translation of inputs to output compared to vegetables? My primary reason for cutting my meat consumption by 95% is sustainability. Ethical treatment of animals is a distant second.

So if this is still not sustainable, please address why do it, instead of writing a long preamble on the implementation details.
I didnt know they added that - before you could just add a car or remove. Specifying when it starts and ends sounds like a nice upgrade
Second sentence: "Suddenly a shot rang out." Which explains my (never actually submitted) entry:

"He was a dork, and Stormy Knight suddenly shot the ring right out of his fingers, because she was tired of dorks, and especially the kind of dork who would presume that she would marry him, even though he was a dork and she was the kind of girl who could shoot a ring right out of a man's hand, hitting nothing but the ring and a few miscellaneous bits of fingertip."
Where I grew up (in the 90s) they were known as “Basic Marin Wheels” so there are places where it’s almost the default.
If performance is not as critical, I would probably pick AES or Chacha any day over those. Furthermore they make parallelizable reproducible streams trivial.
Reminds me of

> An outlaw is a person declared as outside the protection of the law. In pre-modern societies, all legal protection was withdrawn from the criminal, so that anyone was legally empowered to persecute or kill them. Outlawry was thus one of the harshest penalties in the legal system. In early Germanic law, the death penalty is conspicuously absent, and outlawing is the most extreme punishment, presumably amounting to a death sentence in practice. The concept is known from Roman law, as the status of homo sacer, and persisted throughout the Middle Ages.
Until it gets confused like an DSG with broken mechatronics. That might just break the gearbox itself.

After that happened I drove a Toyota Corolla hybrid with a CVT and it was awesome. High mileage, tranquil, no gaps in acceleration. The only downside was that it is smaller than a Passat (GTE).
Has anyone seen successful use of transformers with tabular data, particularly high-cardinality categorical data sets? Curious.
I agree with you completely that people who participate in online mobs are awful. My response was addressing the parent commenter who primarily blamed the mob instead of the victim, who seemingly had multiple opportunities to disengage.
"March 10 (Reuters) - Meta Platforms (FB.O) will allow Facebook and Instagram users in some countries to call for violence against Russians and Russian soldiers in the context of the Ukraine invasion"

Russian soldiers invading Ukraine are combatants. Discussing battle tactics against soldiers is not the same as calling for violence against Russian civilians.
For example, Bogle's "buy everything and hold it forever" only works when you're not really doing that, and you're buying an index. But any market cap weighted index is doing EXACTLY not that. It by definition has to reduce and increase weighting of constituents over time because their valuations change over time... including going to ZERO.
To clarify, I never said vets are not helpful. Please read my original answer again. I made the case that their focus is medical care and treating food poisoning, instead of educating and PREVENTING food poisoning. They make more money treating the disease than preventing it. The incentive is not there either.

By the way, how sure are you that you would retain all the knowledge to avoid life-threatening food poisoning of your dog after navigating all the free content on the web? Would you test yourself somehow? What if you miss something key? Willing to threaten your dog's life on it? Isn't that worth $5? Please ask your vet the cost of treating food poisoning at his/her clinic and post it here.
You're not the only one. I still drive a 2005 Saab 9-5, but the station wagon. It is really comfortable to drive compared to other cars (I've driven mostly new Volvos, especially V40 and XC40 and I prefer the Saab any time).

I'm Swedish though, and my mom used to work at Saab back in the day when I grew up (as most of the people in that town did then).
Calls for violence and hate are different things. I don't hate Russians, but I support violence against their soldiers invading Ukraine.

Hating someone also doesn't mean they are worth the jail time from a violent act.
That one’s in the article. What’s interesting is that it suggests different colors depending on whether you grew up with CRT or flatscreen televisions.

State-sponsored American propaganda during the War on Terror is pretty routinely denounced now as incorrect to what was going on, but during the active days would have been ranked higher in results in search engines, had this kind of thing been more popular then.

(I say that as a former neocon too.)
I am hoping it will collapse major part of world corruption.
> how come they didn't install a puppet regime

Because the definition of "puppet regime" in US terms is "a somewhat democratic government that can be conditioned to work only in the ideological confines we set". Only where that fails, like in Egypt or Pakistan, they support overt strongmen.

The first 5-10 years or so of post-Saddam Iraq were an attempt at achieving the former. Then Iran brought some stability and it was accepted as the lesser evil, because resources and political support for the occupation were over.
I am a huge fan of Om Malik's writing. I have learned a lot of stuff over the years from him. He's gotten a lot of things right. But I think he is being a bit to much of an Apple fanboy here.

I've owned a few Macs over the years, they're a tool. When they get things right they're the Porsche compared to the Chevy as Steve Jobs himself once put it. I didn't see any game changers in these announcements. Anyone agree with Om?
I personally wouldn't trust optical systems, but to be fair I've never driven a recent Subaru. The radar on my 2014 Volvo is extremely reliable, even in heavy rain and I make heavy use of it in nearly all traffic situations. It only ever failed me once, and I can't blame it, since that was during the worst cloud burst I ever witnessed. The Autobahn went from "nice day with medium traffic" to "<2m visibility" in less than a minute, and literally everyone pulled over to sit that one out.
I would love to see a rise of alternative BigTech (FB, Google, Apple, Microsoft). Not the Parlor kind, but more leaning towards libertarian values and the foundational principles of the United States. Perhaps based in the East Coast: Philadelphia, Chicago or Boston.
New oil "magically" appears all the time as drilling companies find new fields and improve extraction technology. Most recently the invention of fracking made a huge difference in supply. We will never run out, but over an extended period we can expect prices to gradually increase (with some temporary fluctuations). There's still a lot of room to increase the fuel efficiency of ICE vehicles with hybrid power trains and lighter parts.
I have a friend of a friend who has a really low salary (think less than $500/month - third-world country) who spends 1/3 of his income on LoL digital items. Knowing that really changed my perspective on the viability of NFT. It's more addictive than digital stuff that you buy but can't sell.

Now you can buy to maybe sell for a higher price in the future. That should increase engagement and the user base. It is still a very particular behavior that only a small fraction of society engages in.

But there is 6.6Bn smartphone users in this world. If a tiny 0.1% of the population buys/sells NFT for fun and addition, that's still 6.6 million user. That's billions of $$ pumped into the NFT economy and dozens of billions of "value" for these digital items.

The world is crazy once you go from the local scale to the global scale.
Exactly. The fact that the bases are related to coordinates on the manifold is a property of differential geometry but the laws for transformation between bases are more general.
Then there's all the social science research or pop-business/pop-psychology crap that's been disproven or failed to replicate, but nonetheless will seemingly be treated as fact by most people... I dunno, forever, at this rate. And don't you dare question it.
edit:

Now I am really confused. It lets me guess again if I reload the page (no matter what I guess). I only get a few options from countries to pick (5 total) when I click the box to guess (a dropdown menu appears). After I used all of the slots it told me the answer was XXXXX (which was never an option for me to guess). No idea how this works.
> With no action from FED,

The Fed is not an acronym, and ending QE as it is doing now and hiking target rates as it has signalled it will do at least at this months meeting is not “no action”.
There's quite a resurgence of need for optimization.

There's a lot of companies that want to provide an Uber/Lyft-like service of their own product. So you have a bunch of smaller problems that you want to solve as best as possible in ~1 second.

A lot of small companies with their delivery fleets want to optimize (pest control, christmas tree delivery, cleaning, technical service, construction (coordinating teams that construct multiple things at multiple locations at the same time) etc.).

On the other hand, not related to TSP, the whole energy market in the US is very LP/ILP optimizable and has a lot of customers (charging home batteries, car batteries, discharging when price is high, etc.).

I would admit that the scientific field of discrete optimization is littered with genetic algorithms, ant colonies and other "no free lunch" optimization algorithms that make very little sense from progress perspective, so it does feel like the golden era was from the 70s to early 90s. I do not have a PhD but somehow ended up doing machine learning and discrete optimization most of my career.
I remember following news during the buildup to that war. It was fairly obvious that those WMD claims was weak, and that was definitely brought up in the news. While I was mostly following European sources, so American sources might have been less insistent on that. But seriously, if your country wants to go to war, and local news sources is the only thing you look at. Then you aren't trying very hard to stay informed, and if you are fortunate enough to speak English, there is so many serious news sources out there with different viewpoints it's crazy. So there is not much of an excuse.
The express lane has cameras and they take photos of cars without a fastrak so they can send you a bill. Might they also use those cameras to check how many people are in the car? If you break the rules, you’re generating evidence and making it easy for the state to collect more revenue.
When I went to the planning meeting for the San Mateo 101 Express Lanes project in Redwood City, these lanes _were_ seen as an investment in mass transit. The tech shuttles will use these Express Lanes instead of sitting in mixed traffic, taking load off of the Caltrain (which, pre-pandemic, was at capacity during rush hour and needs electrification and grade separation work to run more frequent trains). Also, constituents in bay area dislike public-transit-only investments (see San Mateo's historical rejection of the BART proposal).
That would be neat indeed. Would it be a lot of extra work?

If there is a transparant SVG canvas placed over the element, then the positioning of elements should be relatively trivial? It would basically follow the example JavaScript in the post.
It's ridiculous to assume that "I hate my neighbor and am going to kill him" and "there's a Russian army invading my city, we should set up an ambush" should be held to the same standard of speech. Of course, a larger question is whether Facebook should be the arbiter for this in the first place, but then the content is posted on their own private platform, and unlike a lot of people here I still think they should have 100% control over what they allow and disallow vs the government dictating it.
Ploopy makes cool-looking stuff. Based on the pictures on their website, it looks like the bodies are 3d-printed? How do they feel to use?

Their nano trackball looks interesting, too... are you meant to bind keys on your keyboard to act as mouse buttons, since the trackball lacks buttons?
Interesting link.. But I can't be the only person that thinks both designs are ugly. Then again, I'm anti-carpet in general.
Yes, sorry for the confusion I was specifically referring to symbolic AI not the "hybrids" between symbolic approaches and machine learning. My education is in a weird mix of French and English (even in a French university in Montréal, domain specific terminology was very spotty in French but just present enough to be confusing lol) so I'm not always very precise! Even "deep learning" is a term I'm not very keen on using usually since it's so vague but it was already 3am for me and I didn't want my comment to be longer than it was haha.

I totally agree that there is room and even a need for more symbolic systems within deep learning but I'd argue that you can't at this point do away with the "deep layered" approaches.

The examples you cited are very important achievements, especially the very early ones, but I think they also show that they are also very limited in a lot of ways. For example, expert systems found a niche, but they still had a very hard time with edge cases and learning which imo is essential to intelligence. More traditional logic based algos can vastly outperform say, neural networks in a lot of situations but only when the problem space is in a way "known". Plus, the GOFAI school used to promise a lot, lot more than what those performant but usually hyper specialized systems ended up doing.

I see that my comment could come off as disrespectful for what was accomplished before. But it really isn't!

It's just that I don't agree with the "nostalgics" who usually dismiss the modern approaches and idealized some sort of symbolic vision of intelligence. Those aren't common, and most of my "old school" professors were just as excited by deep learning. But there is a vocal minority imo who are viewing the past with rose tinted glass, when I don't think it's controversial that there is no real way for traditional ("pure") symbolic AI to end up achieving either general intelligence or to outperform deeplearning with finely tuned hand crafted logic.
Yeah the world's least-reliable powerplant and you have to get it serviced at a Chevy dealer. Truly the perfect combination.
Intermittant fasting works well; just be prepared for the stomach pangs for the first week or two when you're on a fasting day. Drink water to help alleviate the problem. Weight loss will be diminishing returns, so you'll lose more at the start. Best of luck, OP.
No matter how much you (as well as I) hate the fact that private platforms can impose or change their moderation rules unfairly on who ever they want, whenever they want and no matter how hypocritical they are, they are still private platforms and can do whatever they want even if it is against their own terms of service.

Ultimately, they don't care and they are on no-one's side. Thus, they will never change. Outrage sells more ads.
Math isn't the thing tripping you up.

If we're talking about relative personal risk assessment, you need to incorporate natural immunity, omicron, the waning effect of the vaccines, demographic skew on both sides of this, uncertainty about the mechanism and scope of side effects, and a bunch of other things beyond dividing two numbers together.
Thanks for mentioning it, I would have overlooked that feature entirely, otherwise.
Ask HN: Best Investment Is in Ourselves?
I am a software engineer that makes around $20K/month, I am spending ~$2k on mentors from big corporations, $2-3K on courses, $1k on books (some of them rare) and $500 on my diet and nutrition. I decided that the best investment is in ourselves rather than in bonds, etc.. Is this the best way to go at it or am I just not connected to reality any more?
"Toward a better list iterator for the Linux kernel" is a great name for a ship in the Halo universe
Certainly, we should upgrade our infrastructure to improve capacity. Due to induced demand, there will still be traffic at peak times. Congestion pricing can shape demand to improve utilization and reduce travel times, which improves the ROI of those investments.
> You seem to be putting a lot in my mouth on your own.

That's okay. I'm peering through the internet and into your mind.

> Is ANY gender based in ANY way on the sexual organs (and thus the biologically assigned sex) of ANY human?

Nope. See my above statements for proof.
I'm pretty sure my 1982 SAAB 900 Turbo (bought used in 1988 with about 94k miles on it from original owner) had pneumatic actuation for the dials...but it's long gone and i can't check now.
Honestly terrified of going blind because I can't answer that question. I imagine using Linux would be pretty difficult. What about terminals, ssh, etc?
Ah yes, the double standards continue to show themselves. We can hate whoever the tech giants say we can hate.

That's a hotly debated philosophical concept, moral absolutism and moral relativism and everything in between. I'd assume from your statement you're a moral absolutist, but that does not make that statement an absolute truth.
I suppose you're right, but as I explained in the post, I am not some big company, I'm just a person who occasionally likes to post stuff on the internet. I'm a huge fan of various blogs, and want to be a part of that space. It is so nice to browse a proper hobbyist blog that isn't loaded up with attempts to sell me things, and is just someone who is genuinely passionate about whatever it is they're blogging about.

I personally am not a user of RSS, however I received multiple requests to add a feed, so I did. I don't want to set up a staging environment for my blog, this is a hobbyist thing I do in my limited spare time.

The whole reason I wrote this was to hopefully prevent people like me from making this same mistake. I wasn't particularly familiar with RSS and its idiosyncrasies, and paid the price for it. By providing my content in a format I myself have very little interest in without fully understanding the ramifications, my content has become available on a third party service that I have no control over, and when readers discover that my feed doesn't look right, they come to me to complain about it. It might just be a fundamental disagreement, but I do wonder if tools like Feedly should provide a little more control either to publishers, or to users.

I'm just rambling at this point, but hopefully this illustrates my thinking behind the post better.
Another brilliant move in the game of "let's only allow US approved opinions while claiming to be unbiased." Next up we'll be allowed to deadname russian trans people!
I can't speak to history, but I'm converting my cash into social capital. It won't directly get me more money, but I have a disability (MS) and therefore a variable-length career. (i.e. I can't plan on working until 60/65/etc. - I could have 3 years left, I could have 33.)

The more of a safety net I enable to exist here, the more likely it will be here when I need it, and the more connections I make here now, the more likely it is someone will catch me when I fall.

If you're JUST talking financial return (versus safety, hence my decision), it's entirely dependent on your timeline. Do you need to pull out in 1 year? 5? 20? 50? They all require different strategies.
I was just making a joke about the out of bounds interaction :D

It could be a wide variety of things, including both defined and undefined behaviour
Thanks for that. Ok, you've given me the inspiration to try this again.

> I tackle that with drinking lots of water

hmm... maybe that's my problem. I tend to drink lots of coffee and tea, and not water by itself. I think this will have to change too.

Thanks again!
Which brakes? Russia's attack on Ukraine? Sure, let's stop or slow that down, but how?
I don't understand how it works.

EDIT: Nevermind, after reading some comments I got it, you are not supposed to click the big colored boxes.
More importantly, unless you are in Russia, giving them money might well be illegal where you live.
Why do you need a switch, you could have a webpage/app where you change the settings. That way you don’t have the hardware cost/risk.

They manage to give you instant feedback if you have paid your bill, so I don’t see why this could not work the same.
I won at 2nd try. First Italy, then Sweden.
Ask HN: What the easiest and cheapest way for me to set up email?
I've had a domain name for a couple of years that i have a small static website with just my CV on that's hosted on S3. It's essentially a plain old S3 bucket with the html page on it that just serves over http.

I've wanted for a couple of years to use the domain name for email, mostly with the intention that I could just give anyone an arbitrary email address with that domain name, and it would go to a centralized inbox that I could just read/send emails from.

Unfortunately I'm not really familiar with email, and don't really have the time or brainpower to setup a full on email server...

Is there some sort of "plug and play" solution I can quickly setup without a lot of maintenance that would serve my purposes?
