It could be not the only transaction, just the first one to get caught.

It could be the first of many transactions, and was caught.

There are people who only work at 2-10 person companies, and thrive there. They have a diverse skillset. They can work quickly and produce lean, malleable software. They wear a lot of hats. They take a lot of equity compensation (sometimes wisely, sometimes not).

I am one of those people. I always struggled at 100 person, 200 person companies. Fights with C-levels, struggles with HR, breaking through silos to make things happen.

You can't make things happen at a 200 person company like you can at a 5 person company. You can't have the conversations. You can't pivot on a dime.

I've embraced who I am and what I'm good at, and it's increased my happiness to a huge degree.
If you only limit yourself to a subset of kubernetes's features, it's actually really great for small operations.

I run a small cluster for my side projects consisting of 3 nodes. 1 node is dedicated to run database containers and control plane node (it's also a worker node but strictly for database statefulsets only), and the other 2 as worker nodes, but one of them also run an NFS server that mounted as persistent volumes so every worker nodes can have access to it.

Self-healing? Internet-scale? I have on interest for them on my small cluster. I just want my apps to not go down while I'm updating them without writing complicated blue-green deployment scripts, ability to move around pods to other nodes when one got overloaded, and ability to add or remove nodes when needed without starting again from scratch. I basically treat it like docker-compose on steroid. So far it works really well.

Wow, this is completely nuts! You've wildly, recklessly misinterpreted me. I strongly urge you to reread the HN guidelines. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

What I believe is basically the exact opposite of what you seem to think I believe. I was actually arguing in defense of immediate student loan debt forgiveness (evidenced by my other comments on this article such as https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31570258). By the way, I also support government-subsidized higher education for everyone, like we have for high school. Of course I don't want people in debt slavery! Seriously, your comment was unhinged. Maybe you need to take some time off the internet.
My personal industry has been heavily impacted by reduced productivity from remote work.

The video game industry has also been heavily impacted. Fields with lots of collaboration report the same.

If you’re a rockstar IC I can see why you’d think it doesn’t matter.
Google | Software Engineer | Mountain View / Sunnyvale | Full time

We're looking for a software engineer to help work on the XLA Compiler for TPUs.

Things we do:

- Take machine learning models and make them run really fast, in really large systems.

- Participate in hardware co-design for future versions of the TPU. Members of our team frequently write proposals for new instructions and chip components.

- Assist internal and external customers on how to make their workloads run as fast as possible. When Deepmind built AlphaGo members from our team helped them get their models up and running on TPUs.

There is room on our team for anyone with an interest in traditional compilers, machine learning, high performance computing or hardware co-design. I joined in late 2020 and have found the work deeply interesting and deeply impactful.

Unfortunately I don't have any way around the traditional Google hiring processes. You'll have to go through: https://careers.google.com/jobs/results/93645599942812358-so...

Alright, so when does an algorithm become AI then?
I had a nasty car accident a few years ago and felt like my memory wasn't as good afterwards (despite tests from medical professionals that disagreed with me on that).

I addressed this by developing new, very detailed note-taking habits. Absolutely anything I work on now happens in a private or public GitHub issues thread. I take notes on my progress constantly - decisions I've made, dead ends I've explored, things I need to do next.

Whether or not I actually have any memory problems this approach has been a huge boost to my productivity. I wish I'd worked like this for my whole career.
> the net worth is locked in the value of their home

I keep explaining to people that while real estates are good investments, your primary residence is not part of your net worth.
> Which kinda defeats the purpose doesn't it?

Have you actually tried it or you just ranting that Go is not Java?

Take `time.Weekday` type, for example from Go stdlib. It's a typical use of kinda enums in Go. [1]

It serves the purpose to effectively use Weekday whenever it's needed – in literals, in tests, in debug output, etc. Internally it's just an int, but for humans it's better to work with named predefined constants. Instead of creating yet another language feature that will automagically (yes, I keep repeating it, because it matters) convert variable names into strings, Weekday type leverages other Go features to achieve it in a more appropriate way, implementing proper string conversion for long and short forms for English and leaving room for proper i18n handling (it's still a named int constant). [2] Having it as a separate named type makes it handy for proper type checking (so you can't pass some integer with incorrect value to the function expecting time.Weekday).

And now you're saying that it's all useless and wrong, because compiler is not enforcing range of values that varaible of this type can have. But I tell you that it's useful and helping code readability enormously even without being a sum type.

And I hope it's clear that when you switch to another language, the worst thing you can do is to complain that it's different from your previous favourite language. You not just switching use another syntax, but you changing the ways to do things and even philosophy. It's like moving to another country - you not just changing a language, you switching to a different culture and economy. You adopt their social norms, follow the rules of that country and pay taxes even if in your country it was all different.

So yeah, in Go there are no sum types aka enums. And you know what, Go is extremely effective at what it was designed to despite of this. And "Go enums" work just fine, until they may be improved in the future when community is in consensus on how implement it, respecting backward-compatibility rule.

> I don't know how you end up in a paycheck to paycheck situation making this much money. I guess it wasn't brains that got them there.

I'm inclined to agree. I make even less than you do and for the most part money just sits in my bank account until the number is uncomfortably high and I move it to the savings account. They can come up with all sorts of explanations about HCOL areas and what not, but there are simple solutions to those problems, like "don't live there".
This sounds like a great set of constraints for an industrial controller, or a custom Cyberdeck-type portable.

I’m confident any device following these guidelines would be DOA in the larger market, though. Even _if_ you could source things like LCD assemblies that fit your criteria, the expected density (high) and labor costs (low) people have for modern electronics don’t leave a lot of room for this kind of bespoke design.

I’m extremely impressed with how far Framework got on the path to “full repairability” using off-the-shelf parts without producing something that looks like a late-90s Thinkpad.

Don’t get me wrong: I love the old IBM, Tadpole, Toshiba, et. al. designs, but I don’t think that many people outside this community would be willing to pay 2-3x as much for something 2-3x larger and heavier and several generation behind in terms of performance. (Not to mention wildly incompatible with any non-hobbyist OS.)

OTOH, what you’re describing does sound a lot like why custom, hand-wired audio amplifier builders do. They manage to make a business out of it, mainly by appealing to folks willing to spend effectively unlimited money to get that “special something”.
> strained interpretation by judges.

It's not, it's literally the definition in the law in black and white.

Now, the law has a very strange definition of “fish”, but it very expressly includes, among other things, any inverterbrate. The only reason the court also looked to other indicia was to see if there was evidence that the express text was intended to be more limited than it appears on its face, such as to only apply to aquatic invertebrates.
The issue with FFmpeg is that it's complex, so you need to understand what all the options do, but the interface is also complex, so you need to understand how to format what you want to do, even if you already have a good understanding of what you want from FFmpeg. E.g. the order of different options matter, applying some options to one stream vs. another, chaining filters together, formatting the filters, specifying the output options, etc.

Evergrow | Quants, senior SWEs, and commodities experts | San Francisco | Full-Time | ONSITE | evergrow.com

Come work on climate fintech at gigaton scale!

At Evergrow, we seek to build and sustain a carbon-neutral world. We plan to do so by unlocking solutions which reduce 1 gigaton of CO2e by 2030, scaling to 1 gigaton per year every year thereafter.

Specifically, we are developing a suite of products and services for decarbonization project developers. We are starting with a financial product that shields developers from carbon credit price volatility, helping them access the capital needed to get their projects off the ground. We will be quickly expanding this suite of products and services so that we can become the ultimate support system for decarbonization developers.

Our team has spent time at leading companies (e.g., Google, BCG, McKinsey & Co., D.E. Shaw, Pinterest) and academic institutions (e.g., Columbia, MIT, Stanford, Princeton). We are backed by leading investors from Silicon Valley and beyond, including XYZ Venture Capital, Congruent Ventures, First Round Capital, Garuda Ventures, My Climate Journey, Skyview Ventures, and founders and senior executives from Plaid, Brex, Twitch, Instacart, Charm Industrial, Living Carbon, and Bridgewater Associates.

Thanks for sharing that! I probably won't be able to update this week, but this bug is definitely at the top of my list.
I doubt a week or two is going to be enough. You don't necessarily have to leave your job though, given how difficult it is to hire people, it's likely an unpaid leave for a few months would be accepted.
My perception is that in much of the rest of the world, it's more common to live with one's family or other more communal housing situations for longer. In the US there is a slight stigma about not having "moved out" that starts at 18 years old.
None of the Stradivarius violins are in their original condition (not even the "almost never been played" Messiah Stradivarius).

There was a time where Baroque violins would get their neck removed and re-glued at a larger angle, along with a bridge replacement. This happened to every single Stradivarius ever made.

And then, there's the shift to modern steel strings.

And most of them have been opened multiple times to seal cracks in the wood.

> Thoughts on modern C# and .NET

Pros:

- Excellent documentation and widely used (not just modern btw, MS documentation is world-class and has been for the ~8 years I've been exposed to .NET API documentation)

- Excellent code structure, supports very large/enterprise type code bases

- Mostly sane improvements, with regular rollouts

- Now cross-platform (although ref [0] for what it's like to develop in a non-Windows environment)

- IDE support is 5-star. MS own IDE is at least 4 star, and Rider (JetBrains) seems to be very popular as well. I've used three versions (pre-2019, 2019, and now 2022) at different paid levels, no big gripes. You get great debugging, profiling, REPL, etc.

- Mostly opinion/experience: Allows for a range of styles, while IMHO balancing correctly with consistency that is easy to pick up and collaborate with. It is possible to write confusing code, but not as much as other languages (ref [1]).

Cons:

- It is cross-platform according to the docs, but in reality it comes from and is relied on mostly in a Windows world.

- Testability - if you like unit testing, you will need to make everything testable also exposable - if not publicly, at least within the same assembly.

> If you have experience with ASP.NET Core...

Yes. It's pretty good. Apart from a question specific to the language or framework, you will need to quickly become familiar with how stuff works behind the scenes. It might also be beneficial to look into how deployment works, depending on your target (IIS, Azure, AWS, etc).

> Did you enjoy developing...

Yes, for larger projects that need collaboration.
Otherwise I use Ruby.

Bill Gates on the future of the Internet (1996)
violinist here, you can make a $100 amazon violin sound much better by getting more expensive strings (e.g. Dominant) and also by practicing more.
100% correct. The professors and PIs abuse their employees, and the institution completely supports it. It's the business plan.
Color me odd also. My team of software engineers was very productive working remote for the first year or so of the pandemic. But, we already knew what our projects were and the designs were in place, so in person collaboration wasn't so critical.

Things started to slow down as we took on new projects remotely. We got back up to speed when we started coming into the office a couple days a week. The collaboration was better and the random interactions with other teams throughout the building seemed to help get us back on track.

We are now 3 days a week in the office and that is working very well for us. I don't think remote work is the future, I'd lean toward hybrid work environments being the future.
I also personally prefer it, but I can’t deny the impact in my own company and others I follow. The video game industry is another example of remote work causing huge setbacks.
you can always say that. the problem is, this happens slowly, then suddenly all at once. if it takes 6-8 months to get a new job, it might be in the middle of total hiring freeze everywhere.
ReadThisPaper: New service that dig out the key concepts in the given paper
Yes either openings decline or labor supply increases. Demographic trend is toward lower labor supply though, so most likely outcome is number of job openings needs to be decreased to solve inflation.

Again, real wages have been declining so people are getting poorer despite increasing nominal wages. It kind of boggles the mind seeing people talk about wages in nominal terms like it means anything. The poor and downtrodden will suffer most in the end as a result of the steps necessary to control inflation.
Scale is multi-dimensional. It's not just a question of user base; there's also all the different features they have added over time as well that they have chosen to dedicate resources to. Also, support has cost, and putting service as a key feature of your brand often means sacrificing margins.

Or don't. Just post online like a hater instead.
1. You’ll use `kubectl set image deployment/gitlab gitlab=gitlab/gitlab-ce:14.9.2-ce.0` in production instead

2. kubernetes will abort the change if it doesn’t syntax check or the types don’t match.
SEEKING WORK - Freelance/Contract, Remote, Tennessee, U.S. (Central Time)

I'm a full-stack JavaScript developer and UI designer. I run https://cheatcode.co, working primarily with my own framework, Joystick (https://github.com/cheatcode/joystick), as well as React.js, GraphQL, and Node.js.

Looking for 3-6 month freelance and contract opportunities (longer if the timing makes sense). Best suited for working with small teams—startups/standalone or embedded in bigger co's—and individuals looking to ship:

- Full-stack web apps (internal or customer-facing).

- UI implementation (HTML, CSS, any JS framework)

- Command line tools

- REST APIs (private and public) -- can do GraphQL APIs on request

- Technical documentation

- Infrastructure/deployment setup (Bare metal, Docker/k8s, Lambda)

My working style:

- Communication-heavy. I prefer clients/projects that don't shy away from investing in getting everything on the table up front and keeping communication tight throughout a project. 1-on-1 preferred for clarity/avoiding miscommunication.

- Detail-oriented. If it needs to be done well, I'm your guy.

- Design-focused. I put an emphasis on UX (or DX if the project is for devs) and ensuring that what gets shipped is most likely to generate a ROI for you. I'm not your guy if you want a fast-and-cheap result (https://youtu.be/eAo8gnUCWzE?t=20).
