EDB | Senior Software Engineer (Dev Experience and Tools) | Remote | Full Time | https://enterprisedb.com

EDB builds products and solutions based on the world’s best database, Postgres. We have many of the core Postgres contributors on staff and continuously contribute back to the open source community. We're also fully remote.

We're looking for an engineer to focus on tooling and developer experience, by building modern and Postgres dev tools with a focus on usability. These tools will be used in production, development, experimentation, and testing. This role will be especially interesting - and challenging - as we develop highly available distributed database systems of varying architectures.

We use a large mixture of languages, but Go + Python experience is preferable. Experience with C, and database internals knowledge is a huge plus, especially Postgres. Previous work with cloud architecture, specifically AWS, is also nice to have.

I find the meaning of DevOps confusing.

Originally I thought it was a methodology assisted by a set of tools to make it easier for devs and ops (sys admins) to work together, mostly by giving both sides the same environment, usually in the form of docker containers.

Admins configure servers, or server pools since physical machines tend to be abstracted these days, set up applications, including the CI/CD stuff, make sure everything is secure, up to date and in working order, etc... Devs write the code, and test it on the platform supplied by the admins.

And now I see all these DevOps jobs. I mean what does it means? You are dev or you are ops, so what does DevOps means? It doesn't mean both, DevOps usually don't write software, so DevOps is ops, maybe we could call them container administrators, like we have database administrators.

I think that the confusion between the DevOps methodology and the DevOps job title give the wrong idea. Someone needs to make all these servers work, calling it serverless just means there is another abstraction layer, and while abstraction has some benefits, it rarely lessens the workload, but it may change job titles, here sysadmin -> DevOps.
I love TUIs and I'm looking for a TUI calendar. But there's one feature they all lack: sending availability to someone. Using grep or rg would be great. That's where Calendly and Vimcal shine.

It's not drift, because the infra-as-code doesn't manage the image field (the application's CD pipeline does). You don't trawl through someone's shell history', you look at the CD pipeline history. Rollbacks are easy--you just deploy the prior version via your CD tool.

I think you're assuming that invoking kubectl means invoking it directly from a user's command line, but kubectl can also be called in a CD script.

A couple of data points. It looks like 20% is only in women - in men, it's 9%. Second, the ratio of smokers:nonsmokers can be at least partially explained by the number of smokers decreasing. Third, it's not clear whether this is a real change, or if it's a data anomaly.

Personally, I would be very careful about the confidence with which I express this perspective. It might be true, but it's not at all clear that it is, so it's not clear there is a mystery.

“It is well-documented that approximately 20% of lung cancer cases that occur in women in the U.S. and 9% of cases in men, are diagnosed in never-smokers,”

"To a great extent, this is a function of straightforward math... Fewer people smoke today than in previous decades... because there are fewer smokers in the population, out of every 100 lung cancer patients, fewer will therefore be smokers. And that means more of them will be never-smokers."

"There are also hints that the absolute incidence of lung cancer in never-smokers has been rising, said oncologist John Heymach of MD Anderson Cancer Center. Some data say it has, but other data say no. The stumbling block is that old datasets often don’t indicate a lung cancer patient’s smoking status, Heymach said, making it impossible to calculate what percent of never-smokers in past decades developed lung cancer."

^An issue with FFMPEG

This isn't THE only issue with FFMPEG. There are many many problems with FFMPEG, but it's the best thing we have in this area. Warts and all, I would probably, no, definitely would not have been able to achieve many of the career accomplishments I have without it.

As you start to reveal the multitude of switches/options/etc available to FFMPEG via GUI, the GUI becomes gnarly and complicated very quickly. This then becomes just as daunting to the avg user as trying to build the command itself. There are many practical uses for a very simplified GUI to achieve a limited set of functionality. There's nothing wrong with it. In fact, I'd be willing to guess that if a UI came along that exposed every single thing that FFMPEG could do, fewer people would use it than a much more simplified version.
Agreed. At this point probably just use CLI.

One thing I hate about CLI tool though, is that it's very hard to edit long commands in terminal.

For example, to replace the input filename from the previous command. I can do it in one second with my keyboard + mouse (use the mouse to select the old one, and type in the new one which would replace) in editor but you can't do so in terminal.

Another example is to change the order of some switches. Again very easy in text editor, not so much in terminal.

So, everytime I use FFMPEG for some complex one (especially when I need to go through trial and error, I have to write the thing in a text editor and them paste them into terminal.
Can you expand on this? Would love more information about what makes it "difficult" relative to another instrument.

(Orchestra supporter and string player dad over here, so genuinely curious)
There aren't any meeting rooms at your office? I think every place I've been, even the startups had some kind of conference call mic setup on the table, although I don't think every place had a cam. It's possible for the "room" to join the call and those who must join over video.
I find it weird you mention taking on debt and financing these purchases that way. It’s typically the best way to purchase anything as long as the rates are good.

In fact - most people who are financially literate would say it’s completely moronic to buy things with cash or majority cash. It’s usually in your best interest to use debt as much as reasonably possible. (Obviously you want to be able to afford the payments and what not but debt is very good as long as the rates are optimal)
There are places that do cost-cutting the other way around. I recall from a place a long ago where it was handled by 1) freezing annual raises for everyone, 2) cutting managers' salaries by 5%, 3) cutting executives salaries by 10%.

Sometimes that's called, "Leading from the front."
It also accepts "*" if you don't know or care about the container name(s)

kubectl set image deployment/foo "*=the/new/image"

and then, my other favorite (albeit horribly named, IMHO) "rollout status" to watch it progress:

kubectl rollout status deployment/foo

> Intellisense means you barely ever need to type more than 2 characters to express your intent.

Agreed Intellisense is pretty good. Not excellent - it never suggests using statements as a first option, and in unit tests I have to always type "Asser" to bring up "Assert" (using 2022 expensive version). But it pretty good.

From a tooling perspective, this a positive. From a language perspective, well there are other languages that allow flow-of-thought without needing the tooling to autofill [0]. There are tradeoffs, and practically speaking you'll need to eventually look at someone else's flow of thought and expect them to understand yours.

> But nowadays, you basically just need power and Internet, which is widely available to most workers at home anyway.

The power and Internet part is easy - a quiet room can be a challenge for some though. At one point in the pandemic, a friend tried coming over and working in my basement because her family was so distracting at home (2 parents + 3 kids in a 3-bedroom house with virtual work and school and a baby crying, etc). I'm told homebuyers are emphasizing having enough space for home offices these days, but that's easier to attain for some than others, especially with the run-up in housing prices over the past couple of years.

So yeah, for some people it's easy ... for others, not so much.
Would that not just lead to increased rent?

Is there a way to do it so that rents become lower?
Your exactly right on one point. Elon is the Kardashian of the tech world.

He has achieved nothing we thought impossible. We thought all of these things were possible. His achievement is becoming a billionaire whole doing it. There have been many visionaries in the past, and will be many in the future, he doesn't have a monopoly on that. Correlation isn't causation. He hasn't been a visionary because he behaves in this way, he behaves in this way because he doesn't have any guardrails, consequences.

There are lots of tech moguls, visionary leaders, that don't behave like him and we couldn't even name them because theybhavent had any scandals, weird behavior, etc. Those are the true role models.
Don't forget that life insurance used to come in a different form, "whole" life insurance (instead of term life insurance) which doubles as a savings/investment vehicle. This has changed a lot: people have other alternatives that are popular (401(k)s are basically everywhere), and life insurance companies are no longer able to offer the same kind of terms, especially given the ultra-low-interest-rate environment of 2008 to present.
Have you had a look at Handbrake (https://handbrake.fr/)?

Yes. Hashicorp is the company behind Terraform, Terraform Labs is the company behind Luna.

The way you can tell them apart is that Hashicorp Terraform stabilizes at the state you configure it to, whereas Terraform Labs stabilizes at zero.
May I ask - did you have a previous background in music? When I think of my own experiences and those of not only my kids but other musicians I've observed, two years is really just a starting point (IE: you should not have expected to have any degree of proficiency unless you already have considerable musical background)
It seems like the author must think that the private lenders were the schools themselves? Otherwise, I agree, this doesn't make sense at all.
I never log in, I find the key to better results is to keep adding terms to the query, and force the 'verbatim' option under tools. Restriction to specific domains (.edu etc.) with site: helps a lot, and the not option is sometimes helpful (-this -that).

Youtube search is awful. I once went through news queries on Google searches of Youtube (site:youtube.com) looking for popular independent media outlets (BreakingPoints for example) by -MSNBC, -FOX, -CNBC etc., and ended up with a string about 25 queries long, and those shows are just banned. They were feeding me unpopular corporate media shows with hardly any views or subscribers at that point, but zero access to independent media. Full-on propaganda manipulation.
How does rent going up relate to eating out?
The parents and grandparents should just get vaccinated.

The virus will never go away. There's no reason to live in perpetual fear.

Masks may work, but mask mandates don't work. You can't force people to do something they don't like 24/7. They will take off the mask when you're not looking, or they will wear it in a bad way on purpose. Specially when it comes to kids.
Google bought their other Gold.

> From my experience the far majority of companies want the "following orders kind", or to put it differently: they want you to be flexible enough to be both the independent leader and the great follower when they desire, without any sign of rebellion.

Traditional capitalist companies are not democracies, they're dictatorships, or plutocracies at best. It makes sense an authoritarian regime would want problem solvers but not challengers to the status quo. A cooperative would be the closest to a democratic company.
Something that always frustrated me is how much better avisynth is than ffmpeg on pretty much every axis. Some of this is just because VFW puts any linux video stack look like a bit of a joke, but even something limited to the features internal to ffmpeg using the avs language would be better than this crazy -map -vf -af -filter_complex bag of command line options.

Only a madman would do this. I don't know anyone that's in the middle of R&D that builds directly in the CLI that's sane. Everyone tries it, and just at the point of losing sanity, does the rational thing of building the command in a text editor for a simple copy&paste into the CLI later.
