I am a technical salesperson with 5 years experience looking to see what else is out there in the market. I'm comfortable working with most any software, and am a quick study when it comes to new platforms and programs. One of my biggest strengths is being able to analyze a client's existing workflow, show where our products can fit to improve, and explain it all in clear, and easy to understand, terms, with examples.
you can find something interesting. data always tells an interesting story if you look close enough :)
Yes, and also not a data structure that is suitable for the task. If you want to keep every version of the buffer as a value (which has nice properties like versioning) you would need a data structure that shares most of its structure with the previous versions. Like a persistent radix-n tree. Slower than mutable buffer for sure, but not pathological.
Agriculture...

In a society governed by law, the straightforward way to confiscate a regular benefit received by a particular group is to pay that group to forego their statutory right to that benefit. Until we pony up the cash to pay farmers to use less of the water they own, one concludes that the problem of low flows on the Colorado doesn't really concern TPTB.
Not to get political, but based on his record of joined/written opinions, I'm not convinced he needs any questions answered to decide on how he's going to vote on any incoming cases.
Oh come on! This isn't a legal document. It's a press release.
I've been working as an IAM engineer for my entire career. This is a really good write up on a few ways on how you could handle authorization, but I think it also highlights the challenges with it

The more I come across different systems, the more I realize authorization in large distributed systems isn't ever one approach: it has to be tailored for each use case with different tradeoffs in mind. It's often directly coupled to the problem domain you're trying to solve for. It has to be integrated with the data access pathways, _and_ also has to be tailored to the authentication system it deals with, _and_ it has to be tailored for the data-locality model of the overall system.

The more authorization problems I solve, the more I realize that my dream of coming up with a generalized authz SaaS service that helps me grease out VC money & a billion dollars probably doesn't really exist. It's different from authentication, because authentication has less dimensions of coupling, and less tradeoffs (Auth0 sold for 6b, Okta worth 18b, both authentication offerings)

Maybe I'll figure it out one day. Or maybe this is one of those problem domains that is only solved by an army of engineers

SS&C | Software Engineers | Cloud Platform | Full-time | Remote

We're developing the private cloud platform for SS&C - a global provider of investment and financial services and software for the financial services and healthcare industries.

We're looking for a Go developer who will contribute to new and existing grpc services that manage core compute, networking, kubernetes, identity, and storage services for our platform.

Stack is Go, Temporal, Postgres, Kafka, but experience with Java or Python would come in handy for working with some of our existing services. If you have experience with cloud platform development that's not directly related to our stack, I'd still love to hear from you. 100% remote, US.

Hey, look, FWIW, I welcome more info in this area and if you want to go write your own article or blog post covering the systems that I omitted and you feel I should have included, please do! I'd love to read something like that, and if there's a future installment in this (very loose) series, which I hope there will be, then I will mention and link to your work.

As I said, though, in this version, I intentionally omitted OSes partly or largely written in assembler.

I also didn't cover a load of OSes written in either very obscure languages, properietary languages, dead languages, and also languages and OSes I just don't know anything much about.

As I've said elsewhere in these comments: if I tried to cover everything in equally, it wouldn't be an article, it would be a book.

And while I'd quite like to write that book, it's be a very niche one that would sell about a dozen copies.
Well, why not? People deciding to code Slack bots on their own initiative has done a lot of good for us, and the problem was easily solved in both cases by removing the slack bots and (I've heard secondhand) a short private conversation about it. If we ever get to a point where leaders aren't willing to push back against a "guys" bot, presumably anyone who wants to build one would be able to get through whatever approval process could be put in place.
Policies like 2 senators per state, regardless of population, and the Electoral College ensure that a minority of citizens have the majority of power in the USA.

I don't know anything about this field so I can't answer that unfortunately. If I were to take a guess, I'd guess it's for (real or imagined) safety reasons? Roundabouts where you can't go around again aren't that common here though.

> L1 regularization has to do with minimizing error of absolute values

Not quite. It has to do with minimizing the sum of absolute values of the coefficients, not the error. The squared error is still the "fidelity" term in the cost function.

The original SARS in 2002 outbreak looked exactly like the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak.

SARS also began at a market that sold the same types of animals, in a city far away from Yunnan province.

SARS-CoV-2 comes from Yunnan or Southeast Asia (its closest known relative comes from Laos), but once it gets into farmed wild animals, it doesn't necessarily stay there. These animals are traded over long distances. Heck, Hong Kong had a population of hamsters with Delta a few months ago. The hamsters caught it in Europe, made it all the way to Hong Kong, and then infected a human (this is established based on the viral genetic sequences in the hamsters and the human).

> we wouldn't necessarily know about them until there were publishable results maybe years down the line

We knew plenty about the viruses the WIV had found before the pandemic. RaTG13 (until recently, the closest known relative of SARS-CoV-2, and the center of a lot of conspiracy theorizing which we can now say with 100% certainty is wrong) was uploaded to an NIH database years before the pandemic. The conspiracy theorists made a lot of stink about 8 viruses that Dr. Shi Zhengli had mentioned in public talks. Those viruses turned out to be too distantly related to SARS-CoV-2 to be of much interest.

Most of these viruses don't actually exist in live form at the WIV. The WIV only has three live SARS-related viruses, and each one of them is very well known to the outside scientific community. It takes a lot of effort to isolate live virus from bat fecal samples, and it's something the WIV heavily publicizes when it succeeds.

> we do have evidence that the genomes of some viruses that they were working on were scrubbed from the records.

I've followed this story and haven't seen any evidence of that whatsoever.
This might be a bit off-topic, but since we’re talking big screens: I also have a 27“ display. I mostly work with emacs and a couple of shells, both in the kitty terminal. For emacs, this is great, but for a terminal, it really feels dumb, if you have a 3x2 terminal window and write something into the lower left one. It’s so far at the bottom and you have this huge real estate… I started to use a 1x3 terminal window. The bottom row is where I can glance at and the top one is where I swap out the terminal windows.

Anyone know of a new paradime for text based computing one huge screens? Sounds too niche, right? ;-)

I assume it was simply down to having a pre-existing, conveniently-accessible large set of potential participants to analyse, in the form of those involved in the UK Million Women Study (sponsored again by Oxford), who had been asked about their phone use all the way back in 2001.
I appreciate the time you put into these comments and definitely learned a lot from them.

My original point was just that the article reads like an incorrect indictment of all other package managers that use lockfiles. Whether Go does things better is for most part orthogonal to what I was initially trying to get at.
Daybreak Health (YC) | Lead Salesforce Engineer | USA Only (legal reasons) | Fully Remote (and staying that way) | Full-Time

I’m trying to hire for a Lead Salesforce Engineer and I am just utterly failing. I know I’m looking for a unicorn, but I’ve gone looking for unicorns in other roles (frontend, backend, data) and done well enough. How do I hire a kick ass salesforce developer?

I need them to do the following:

* 50% working with our Operations team to optimize and extend existing processes within Salesforce

* 50% working with our Engineering team to couple Salesforce to our existing Application (think making salesforce call our APIs at the right times)

The rub here is that I need someone who is technical enough to drive the salesforce components in the right way (maintainable, well structured, etc), has the devops chops (within the salesforce ecosystem) to stand up a scalable and workable SDLC for it and has the administrator experience to define the permission sets and profiles required to keep the Operations team moving but not breaking things as everything else happens.

Here’s the exact job description: https://daybreak-health.breezy.hr/p/70b654404f64-lead-salesf... (we could flex the salary a bit for the right candidate)

How do you tackle the lack of a mouse, trackpad, trackpoint or equivalent?
I agree with you. In the case of this article the original parts were too far gone.

I do appreciate the physical aesthetics of older devices and would not vandalize functional and maintainable internals unless they caused extreme hardship.
> I find it furious how american citizens are force to subsidize the entire world.

Come on: the US is already the wealthiest country, and if you look at the underlying reasons why its citizens get more of the world pie, you can find plenty of reasons the rest of the world is “subsidising” the US. Let’s start with IP rights and the abuse of that system to the detriment of any non-US country. There are plenty of systematic biases in favour of the US, often “negotiated” by the US. The US is happy to destabilise whole countries to get what it wants cheaply e.g. oil.

And we are talking about healthcare here, where plenty of other countries seem to have found systems that work better than the US for cheaper.
I am not philosophical or pedantic enough to quibble about common usage of "I am an X" implying a job/career rather than a statement of ultimate fact. Maybe it's just my world view coming through, but "I do baking" is different from "I am a baker". The former implies activity while the latter states a position.

The key thing to take, aside from software people can get anal, is that one should not define themselves solely as a function of what they do. Because at some point, it stops and thus takes away their core definition. I am a software developer, but at some point I will be a former software developer. Before than, and probably after that I was a hacker. But, fundamentally, I'm just me. I like to play with computers and all those other hobby or personal activities that amuse or pleasure me.

I don't have anything in particular against insane people, most of my family has anger issues, I didn't have a happy childhood, I have friends with degenerative conditions, etc, etc ,etc... Rand Paul sound insane to me because I have a great deal of experience with both down to earth and psychotic people, grounded and dissociative people, all in real life. Based on that experience, Paul's performance in the committee looks more like what an intoxicated autistic individual edging a psychotic breakdown looks like _in real life_ and not on TV or the media, than what a down to earth honest legislator trying to investigate a mass pandemic looks like.

I understand he uses that character to push water down to his mill. That doesn't excuse his behavior on my regard and most of all it doesn't excuse his complete inaction doing actual research into where the virus came from instead of digging dirt on Fauci.
Only thing I would think of changing would be allowing for the use of colons in tags to provide tag namespaces. Then it's fairly trivial to implement things like created on date, completion date, and the like since it's just "#created-on:yyyy-mm-dd" or "#completed-on:yyyy-mm-dd".

It also allows users more generic organization options, with filtering based on the namespaced tags being something trivial, but ultimately up to the user or the app that is interfacing with the xit file.
Honestly I just dont understand why would one buy a 27" display these days. 32" makes much more sense
But they did, in fact, both lose the Cold War and collapse. Unless somehow either the West decided it wasn’t worth it anymore and called it a draw, but that would be highly revisionist.

> A formal spec also doesn't help much for apps to use this format. There is not a huge need for portability between to do apps...

To add some counterpoint to this, I try a lot of apps. Partially because I'm always looking for the one that's better than what I use now - looking for the thing that fits me the best - but also because I just like trying things.

Portability means a greater chance that I'll fully dive in and use an app to its potential vs. some light use.

There have been a few times that I've found a new app/solution that was clearly better than what I was currently using, and this was both exciting and frustrating. Frustrating because it meant I'd either have to leave my history behind, or spend a ton of time trying to port it over somehow.

I realize I'm part of a niche group of people, but I feel like a spec like this was meant for a pretty niche group of people.

I for one do not agree that this is unnecessary, but I do acknowledge that it's probably not necessary for a lot of people.
Don't think this going to make it through the Senate.
