Developer hiring in 2022 – Small Bootstrapped SaaS
We are a small-ish (< 50 FTE) SaaS company in the education space. Was wondering what people were seeing as the best options for hiring talent. We've primarily done off-shore and still have a good continuing relationship with our vendor/team. We're at the point where it makes sense to bring some more expertise in house. We don't do anything special technically (react/ruby/postgres), but there are some things in our space that is better handled in-house (student-data, privacy, etc..).

My question is how are you as a small company able to find qualified candidates. Is the main driver just pay and remote work? What were some easy drivers for filtering out candidates? If you had a name unrecognizable to 99.9999% of applicants, how did you stand-out and make it seem attractive? Am I better off finding senior US-based devs who can hit the ground running through contract work / agencies?
Why is this an advantage? The factors in assessing the risk are the creditworthiness of the customer and the amount. Also, I find it hard to believe that the creditworthiness of a customer actually fluctuates fast enough for Affirm to be able to do some arbitrage on it.

Interesting. I listen to lots of ATC, and I'm fluent in French. It was really noticable how much less legible French is on the radio, stuff like AF zero un and AF zero onze differ by so little you cannot distinguish them.

Radio English has specific alternative prononciations, which help avoid this, like "fife" and "niner".
there's also a flat fee per transaction (eg, 3.25% + $0.10). this can make the effective rate pretty high for small purchases.

Fredric Jameson considered the key feature of cyberpunk to be transgression, that is to say the erosion of boundaries. Cyberspace is cyberpunk because it erodes the line between physical and digital space, mind and body. Megacorporation's are cyberpunk because they erode the lines between private and public life, national borders, and so on.

Transgression is also the key theme in Blade Runner. What is being transgressed is the distinction between machine and organic body. Synthetic and natural life, person and machine, authentic and inauthentic memory, and so on.

Computers are only one particular artifact of the cyberpunk genre because they're a great example of a tool that breaks down barriers. But Blade Runner has every reason to be situated in the genre as well, because it deals with the exact same topic, merely placing focus on a different technology.
Part of the definition of a private company is control over who your stakeholders are. That's what the "public" in "public company" refers to.

This map (https://maps.nicholsonroad.com/zones/) from another thread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30960632), I think illustrates the problem.

If I understand "the pennisula" correctly, you are referring to something like 1/10th of the city proper (not the greater area, just the city of Vanc.). It is mostly zoned appropriately; outside of that it's a mess.

Everything in grey and yellow is part of the problem mentioned above.
Fellow ex-dropbox (2016-2021), the only part I disagree with is "Python was still used for virtually everything". Several core internal and user-facing services were in golang by even early 2020 (authentication, equivalent of IAM, part of the API gateway, etc).

Are these deterministic? Is it guaranteed to always generate the average or most likely nurse or will it generate a distribution of nurses roughly reflective of its training data if you repeatedly ask for many nurses?

Edit: Never mind. It does eventually show that it will generate different people when repeatedly prompted for the same thing. Given that fact, though, it seems to do a pretty shitty job. It generated 10 apparently female Korean flight attendants. At least in the US, the actual distribution is more like 3/4 male 1/4 female. It's not 100% female, let alone 100% Korean. It does seem to oversample from the most likely examplars, which illustrates a pretty serious failure mode compared to human artists. No human writing a novel is going to make every single character in every novel they write the most likely possible example of its reference class.

Agile kind of has to mean "willing to hack your methodology". ("Let us be agile by following this rigid methodology" is self-contradictory nonsense.)

So, try something. If it makes things worse, stop and try something else. If it makes things better, keep that. Repeat. (Note, however, that things that work may not work forever.)

It's really hard to lose by following that approach. The only way you lose is when someone has a rigid approach that must be followed, in spite of obvious evidence that it isn't working.
> Increased road capacity means people could plan more car trips without worrying about sitting in traffic.

You've got it in one. People think that the biggest highway with the most lanes will mean less sitting in traffic, so they plan their trips to include it.

People think that a satellite city connected to the big city with a big highway will have a short car commute, so they choose to live there.

This kind of thinking induces demand until the experience of sitting in traffic for an hour on one of the widest highways in the world—like Ontario's 401—discourages people from taking the highway.

So politicians spend billions widening the highway some more. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Same here. I visualize a old-fashioned taxi driving me out to a remote location, where the meter ticks off the hours and charging at your payrate. That money comes out of your pocket. And you're physically stuck wherever taxi took you, rather than being somewhere else.

Do you want to pay for all that time and be where that is for that long? Is that trip worth it?

The problem isn't that autists lack a theory of mind or empathy for neurotypicals, rather neurotypicals lack a theory of mind and empathy for autists.

That is, a neurotypical sees an autist with a sensory sensitivity and the neurotypical feels uncomfortable, thinks the autist is "strange", or thinks the autist is a bad person.

Responding here for other readers. Not addressing you, wincy.

My family and children are also the center of my life, but be careful how you interpret these anecdotes and advice from others.

I've seen multiple friends seek out building a family aggressively, with unfortunately disastrous results.

Family can be a source of purpose and energy, but it can also be a drain of energy and locus of misery. There's nuance in how you approach it, who you are, and your circumstances. If you try to force building relationships and family for your own fulfillment, be aware that it can be very difficult to change your mind, especially if you have children. You should also think about whether it is ethical to bring people into existence if you yourself are wondering what the point is.

So, while family giving a sense of purpose is true for me and others, you probably shouldn't force that sort of thing, so that information is not practically useful.
Don't touch a book until you are over 2000 rating online. Here's some rules you can follow until you are 2000.

1. Never trade a piece for a pawn, no queen for anything else, no rook for minor piece.

2. Count how many defenders and attackers, make sure you dont miss count.

3. ALWAYS know your opponent's best moves. Defending is always a good idea.

4. Highest priority is castling, but you have to do a few things before you can castle.

5. When players castle to opposite sides, push pawns to slam into their king.

6. Generally you dont want to touch pawns unless you have to.

7. Getting a new piece off the back row is more important then moving already moved pieces. dont forget to move your rooks to a better line

8. Make a new threat every move. Force you opponent to think about all the risks of your move. Surprise moves to make opponent think only get played if they are the best move.

9. Have fun. Occasionally you see an unsound sacrifice or you want to break an above rule but it looks fun. Do it, see why it's a rule.

10. Seriously... you're playing to have fun. Don't be boring, try silly stuff.

Purchasing Bitcoin as revenue?

I am not sure the justification of it. Ages ago the debate was, if bitcoin was asset, currency or commodity? But how does buying something through an exchange results in the asset's entire price to be recognized as revenue for the company? They are doing it only for Bitcoin, not for any other things. I have no clue because it doesn't make sense.

From the 10-k [0]

...customers access to hundreds of listed stocks and ETFs, as well as the ability to buy and sell bitcoin. Stocks, ETFs, or bitcoin can be purchased...e. For bitcoin buying and selling, we recognize revenue when customers purchase bitcoin and it is transferred to the customer's account.

...During the year ended December 31, 2021, we saw a significant increase in total Cash App revenue, primarily from bitcoin revenue which contributed 57% of total consolidated net revenue in 2021, and 48% of the total increase in consolidated net revenues in 2021

Bias in data leads to biased probabilities. Bias in data reflects biases in the systems that data describes, and the people describing it.

One could say (and some have said) that the tendency of some facial recognition software not to recognize black faces is not racist - but simply a matter of physics. What's racist is the culture of software engineering which only tests that software on white faces, and doesn't consider it a problem.

Likewise the 'most likely image' of a nurse being a non-white female and a CEO or lawyer being a white male is still a problem even if it accurately reflects racial and gender class role biases in society. Eventually these systems will enforce and maintain power structures and media narratives which themselves are already built upon racial and gender prejudice.
Reread it -- that's not what they're saying. They're suggesting that human-like perception is a stepping stone (ie, not necessarily a linear path towards). It reads to me as if they're acknowledging a significant gap between the two.
Huh, I just thought that was a thing cryptobros did because they thought it sounded cool. I had no idea it was an address I could have been sending malicious payloads to if they annoyed me!
Hmm, I don't do most of those things. Or, I use external tools/pre-commit/terminal so not a big issue for me. For example, a tool like "black" or "prettier" has outsourced a lot of the manual formatting work I'd have done before. I "write ugly" and save the file.

For sorting I do in fact use the "Send selection to" to sort, bound to Ctrl+1, but I never got around to binding anything to Ctrl+2.

There were tons of little fiddly things in Notepad++ I never used because the things they fixed they never came up often enough to build up muscle memory to remember them. YMMV.

Chargebacks don’t work the way people think they work.

Under the hood raising a chargeback means your bank send the acquiring bank a message (with an exponent and evidence) that immediately reverts the original transaction and transfers money from the acquirer to the customers bank.

The merchant via the acquirer can then issue a message that does the opposite, again with an explanation and evidence. Eventually the card network steps in and makes a final decision, but they charge a significant fee to do this, strongly encouraging the parties to resolve the situation between themselves.

More importantly there is no “win” message or “give up” message. Instead there’s a set period of time each party is allowed to send a reversing message, after that time period the last person to send a message “wins”.

The periods of time involved are significant, ranging from 30 to 90 days depending on where in the process you are. As a result the bank could well say they’ve given up on the chargeback, and allowed the merchant to win. But the merchant can’t be sure of that until the countdown timer on a reversal has expired.

To make things even worse, most bank employees have no idea how payments actually work. They may well be looking at a tool that says they’ve “reversed” the chargeback. But under the hood that could just mean their system won’t send any further messages, allowing the other party to eventually win.
And people wonder why real estate prices and rent are through the roof in these cities. If you replace all that SFH zoning with 6 floor apartment complexes density instantly goes up something like 10x. If you build like China with 50 floor towers then density goes up something like 100x.
You said "these are some of..." not "some of these are...".

"X1, X2, X3 are some of Y" means that {X1, X2, X3} is a subset of Y. "Some of X1, X2, X3 are Y" means that {X1, X2, X3} intersects Y. But you said the former!
Yes, I don't know what would work. I often like to bring up Japanese trains/subways which are privately owned and AFAIK the reason it works is because the train companies own buildings and land around their stations so they have a positive feedback loop, the more people ride their trains, the more their buildings get used, the more their land is worth, and visa versa. ~10 or so of the famous buildings in Shibuya are owned by the Tokyu Corp including the famous one with the giant screen, the 109 building (10 + To, 9 = Kyu), and the new 50+ story one directly over the station. The also own the building Google moved to. They own grocery stores at probably around 50% of the stations on their lines.

Other examples include any building you see named Atre (https://www.atre.co.jp/) which are shopping centers above JR train stations owned by JR.

I have no idea what the equivalent would be for government IT, nor am I saying all government services should be privatized. I do agree though that it's about incentives.

Even in Japan people complain about government construction projects where the incentive is always to spend all the money so near the end of the fiscal period a bunch of random unneeded projects start to make sure all the money is spent for fear that budgets might be lower the next year if they don't use all the money.

I agree with you that people should be more worried about companies collecting their personal info, but we know now that the state collecting your data isn't incredibly targeted or at all unlikely.

Smith-Waterman is one of the core algorithms used to align DNA sequences and describe similarity. It's worth taking a look at:

Instead of looking at the entire sequence, the Smith–Waterman algorithm compares segments of all possible lengths and optimizes the similarity measure. (wiki)"
