VIVA Finance | Atlanta, GA (ONSITE M-Th)| Full-Time, Internship | Full-Stack Engineer, Mobile Software Engineer, Back-End Software Engineer, Front-End Software Engineer | https://viva-finance.com/welcome

VIVA Finance is a FinTech Startup focused on building a more inclusive financial system. We offer fair and affordable personal loans to working Americans using an alternative underwriting model that is based on employment--instead of credit history. Our rates are as much as 35 times lower than traditional lenders, which has fueled extremely high customer satisfaction and explosive growth (570% year over year). We are finalizing another VC round and are using this money to continue to invest in scaling our lending platform and launch a bank account product. If you are interested in working for a high-growth startup with a strong commitment to positive social impact, we would love to talk to you!

VIVA’s Engineering team is looking to hire Full-Stack, Back-End, Front-End, and Mobile Software Engineers to help us as we continue to scale. Our website is written with Vue and Tailwind, hosted on AWS. Our backend is written in NodeJs running on AWS Lambda and orchestrated by the Serverless Framework. Our mobile App is built with React Native. We use both NoSQL (DynamoDB) and SQL databases, and use both GraphQL and REST for our internal API Layer.
We are looking for people interested in working at all layers of the tech stack. Familiarity with our current stack is nice but in no way a requirement if you have transferable skills and are willing to learn.

If interested in applying or hearing more about the job, reach out to me (Alex, VP of Engineering) with a resume via email: alex@viva-finance.com
Funny enough the compressor on the older heat pump that came w/ my house blew this week after a power surge. Got to watch a smokey mist of R-22 leak for a several hours.

I knew the unit was into EoL based on age, but when something seems to work fine it's really hard feel like preemptive replacement is the right choice or priority.

At least in the US R-22 is so expensive and people still repair and recharge units not infrequently. Wonder how reasonable or possible capturing leaking refrigerant would be. I was watching it leak and vaguely wondered if it would be possible to catch in a large umbrella.
Hey now, I envision a device which slides into a vertical toaster slot, and toasts bacon, whist catching the grease.

Anyone want to coin in?
In France (and maybe in the entire UE), it is mandatory for refrigerant to be collected, and you must bring your old fridge/freezer to a HWRC when you want to dispose
of it.

However, in a fridge/freezer the refrigerant circulate in metallic tubes, usually made of copper which have great conductivity. And what do you think happen when you leave copper tubes unattended at night? Copper thieves come and scrap the fridge with no regards for the refrigerant being released to the atmosphere…

I think we are in agreement here. I found no issue with this logic.
Most workers want their employer to share their values
I think you're replying to the child of my comment?
For whatever it's worth, I see this same thing here in Los Angeles. Scrappers cut open fridges, minifridges, AC units, etc and vent the refrigerant wherever they found the device (usually right on the curb). If you could make it profitable for them to capture it, they would. They're not making a ton of money off the copper.
You showing up every couple of days and losing the plot of what we're talking about (either on purpose, or just on accident) to a dead thread doesn't get anywhere.

We were talking about states rights vs. federal policy. Now you're trying to pivot about arguing about protecting life, ignoring all the discussion of consistency in positions about states' rights vs federalism.

So, I'm not too likely to respond to you anymore. You can't stay on topic. It's called the "Gish Gallop".
>Getting rid of the chloro-flouro stuff makes lots of sense, but not producing any of it in the first place would be even better.

Science doesn't work like that though. You can't study something until it does exist. However, we just don't study something long enough (we just can't think of everything to test against) to see what the true long tail effects will be.

Yes, there's lots of things that would be amazing if we could un-invent them. But wishing won't make it so. We just need to be much more ammenable to the fact that somethings don't work and just STOP using them rather than shrugging shoulders and kicking the proverbial cans down the road
I’m not sure whether you are sarcastic or not, but come on.. what if the LSP crashes, or you know, that also eats more RAM (and I am sure that someone with a 128GB laptop doesn’t get more work done than someone with only a 16GB one..).
> This actually works seamlessly on X wherein one can scale down lower DPI displays down from a higher resolution so everything is drawn the same size.

Where does it work seamlessly? Yes, Chrome can do that. Gimp and myriad of other X11 apps can't.

I will repeat the point from the previous comment: from the point of compositor there is no way to tell, whether the X11 client does support dpi properly or not. And since it cannot tell (short of guessing), it assumes they don't.

In theory, you could invent a new protocol for X11 apps announcing their capabilities. But good luck with adoption, you may switch to an entirely incompatible protocol as well.

> To be charitable one would suppose that its just a low priority as fewer people have high dpi displays

Strictly speaking, it is not a problem with hidpi. It is problem with fractional scaling.

With hidpi on and fractional scaling off (not set to 200%, entirely turned off), you get all the 1:1 pixel glory. If some app doesn't adjust to dpi, you will see that immediately (basically everything except gtk3+, qt5+ and current firefox/chrome/electron). I actually prefer the blurry one, it makes the apps at least usable.

> If one was less charitable making X apps work slightly shittier serves as motivation for developers to support the new standard.

IMO it is actually too nice anyway. Should have gone XDarwin all the way -- i.e. to run X11, you have to manually launch separate application, and that server does not support hidpi at all.

> If you listen to these people talk the less charitable interpretation sounds entirely plausible.

AFAIK there were multiple approaches tried. Even theone, where whitelisted (i.e. the ones that passed manual test) applications would be allowed to run hidpi and the rest upscaled. It went nowhere.

But as they say, patches welcome.
Well that sounds like a jolly good idea! What, you suggest a kickstarter?

Go for it!

Autonomous in name, but the politics have changed dramatically as laws have changed. It's not the same Hong Kong.
Data from indeed seems to support your anecdotal datum:

"Employer demand for workers remains strong, with Indeed job postings as of June 24, 2022 54.2% above their pre-pandemic baseline. New job postings, defined as those on Indeed for seven days or less, are also well above their pre-pandemic baseline, up 68.3%. While job postings growth has slowed, the leveling out has been moderate."

SEEKING WORK - Freelance/Contract - Remote from US

I'm a serial founder who's built and sold multiple companies. I want to help a new startup build their MVP, or convert a low-code prototype to code.

I have a decade of development experience ranging from new startups to publicly-traded corporations, and I've held leadership roles in engineering + product at major startups. But, my passion is building things - and I can use my background in software and product to build scrappy, polished applications quickly for companies.

I can handle end-to-end web app product development from scratch, including product definition, backend + frontend development, and basic design. I can also offer CTO-as-a-service for existing teams that need help growing or scaling.

When I pick a tech stack it's typically Rails + Hotwire + Tailwind, but I've worked in a variety of web stacks ranging including Vue, Go, Laravel, and Kubernetes. I'm an advanced user of Stripe, including their Connect product for marketplaces.

Here's a couple of projects I've built solo this year:

- https://postcard.page

- https://booklet.community

Can do hourly or weekly billing, and I'm open to flat-rate pricing for well-scoped projects.

I can't agree with this one. Due to the different nature of the mediums(radio waves v.s. internet platform) you can't just broadcast because unlike radio waves Youtube will refuse to carry your signal. That's why I advocate for Youtube be impartial to the content and carry whatever the users put in it. If there's a problem with the content, let it be solved by the parties impacted.

Again, unlike radio, with internet platforms each platform is in its own reality. With radio, when you broadcast your signal reaches everyone indiscriminately. On the internet you broadcast into platforms as if they are different universes with different populations.
> the companies who simply collected too many under performing employees can afford to churn some of them back out of the company. Doing it as a "layoff" makes it more palatable than going on a firing spree.

Seems to me this implies that companies that do this, have found a way effectively measure performance and productivity. I don't think OP intends to say this, it is pretty much impossible to measure productivity of individual developers. I mean those on the team know who is or isn't contributing from day to day, but among teams and over time it is much more difficult. If someone has figured this out they should be a $billionaire by now.

I'd go further and counter that this is completely bogus claim, and yes, no one hiring should view a candidate being laid off as being related to anything performance or desirability of the candidate.

In my experience, layoffs are merely a popularity contest.
if they indeed went for what i got a job opening to upgrade their code, but i was never put to work of refactoring re-writing, while their code depth is huge.
Getting blamed of coding slow with 'their' code (an obvious result of their mesh).
I feel kinda lurked into a death trap, the code gives me real headaches.
I put in extra pauze moments just trying to deal with it, but its a nightmare.
Dont think i would like to live on like this for another year.
> The only drawback is CO2 refrigeration equipment has to operate at relatively high pressure, but this isn't a major problem

So far it has been a problem for scale. There are very few consumer appliances that use CO2 as a refrigerant. I can think of 1 right now - and it's 3x the price of it's alternative that uses traditional refrigerant.

>The anti-legalization thought is simply: Cigarettes and alcohol are already bad enough, let's not add a third substance!

This is absolutely NOT the argument against legalization anywhere that I've seen. It's almost universally a claim that MJ is uniquely dangerous and should be kept illegal for that reason.

Fair; I just scanned the list and saw it was associated with a company named Evan GmbH; I didn't, and still don't, feel it was worthwhile to investigate further; but fine, they're a no-name crypto org with a template website promising to provide the technical and legal framework for the future of the decentralized market economy based on blockchain technology. I'm really excited about their promise that "Digital Identities turn goods into active and autonomous participants in business relationships." And Gartner named them a "Cool Business" in 2020, watch out for these guys I'm sure they'll still be around in four years.
If anything they are understating the problem refrigerants cause. Not only are most refrigerants more potent from a greenhouse potential, many are based on CFCs that are ozone depleters. We’ve already created a hole in the ozone layer from CFCs being used as aerosol propellants before that practice was banned, but we still have CFC refrigerants in use globally all over the place. In fact propellants are generally refrigerants.
Yes, for the unborn.
One can simply use ordinary Propane as an Refrigerant like in your fridge: https://www.green-cooling-initiative.org/network/best-practi...
I think the main line will be "stability and prosperity", at least when it comes to China and its aligned regimes.

The Third World is full of countries and people who yearn for a vision of Chinese-like economic growth. I deliberately use the word vision, because I doubt that Sri Lanka or Pakistan can replicate Chinese growth in the real world, even if they adapted all the institutions of CCP. But their wannabe authoritarians can at least sell that vision to their own subjects, together with some material improvements financed from the Road and Belt warchest.
Parasocial relationships can have an extremely strong effect on people. My son was similarly effected by the suicide of a youtuber a few years ago. My son was 18 at the time, just out of HS and struggling. This person is someone he had followed for years and was public about his struggles and was doing better, then this happened.

The unintended side effects of the world we have built are many, and some are impacting our children in ways we couldn't have forseen.
If it’s the one I’m thinking of that episode made me so frustrated about a segment of the population. They had to lie about what they were doing because there were people who objected to the fact this was being done to protect the environment and would refuse to sell to them essentially to stick it to the environmentalists.

The degree to which not screwing up the environment has become partisan for some people is really quite depressing.
