https://clerk.dev is hiring remote frontend engineers, US or EU timezones only, in-person in San Francisco if desired

We're a small team (<20) and have seen consistent customer growth since January

We build drop-in auth components for React: <SignUp/>, <SignIn/>, and <UserProfile/>

And corresponding hooks so developers can design their own: useSignUp(), useSignIn(), useUser()

Going forward, we've noticed that the last generation of developer tools have failed to embrace React, so we're building a unified platform of components and hooks.

Since we manage authentication, we can safely expose other devtools directly to the frontend. A proof of concept for this is our use-stripe-subscription, where we allow users to purchase and manage their own subscription through a useSubscription() hook:

I don't agree with your views, but I do agree with this take.

I often hear people use the phrase: "especially effects under represented minorities", which robs those people of agency, portrays them ALL as being X (which is prejudice by definition).

Worst of all the phrase is trotted out like a weapon to accomplish some goal.

It's a shame because usually the people think they're helping
> and if you’re not, why use a mutex?

Because it's an incredibly efficient, safe option for doing so. Lots of shared state is rarely contended. For example, imagine you have a 'Config' that gets updated periodically in the background, readers of that config only check for updates every 1 second, and you have 7 parallel readers (and 1 writer for an 8 core system).

A Mutex is a trivial way to solve that problem that will be extremely efficient.
Yeah, 90% means 1 in 10 people get falsely accused of planning to commit a crime every week.

How much would it suck for 10% of the population to spend years of their life in prison because some software that sometimes can't tell if a letter in a PDF is a 5 or an S decided they were gonna rob a gas station?
From that link:

> “2011, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) from the World Health Organization (WHO) released a statement adding RF electromagnetic fields (including microwave and millimetre waves) to their list of things which are possibly carcinogenic to humans.”

WTF. This was the exact opposite of my understanding until today… ie that non-ionising radiation from the likes of microwaves was not carcinogenic.

I don’t know how to keep up with this stuff.
I've known plenty of civil servants who at least got into it in part because they felt they were contributing to society.

I know that in ancient times people used to think the folks at HP, with their "HP Way[1]," were idealists trying to make better.

These few anecdata cannot contradict "a lot of employees." Just sayin'.

Résumé/CV: https://github.com/PhilippeOlivier/curriculum-vitae/blob/mas...

Email: See CV

I have a PhD in optimization / operations research. I'm the father of four young children, so I'm looking for flexible/remote part-time work, and/or contract work. I can work between 20 and 30 hours a week (this varies depending on whether kids get sick, etc).

My specializations revolve around optimization and operations research. You can give me a real-world problem and I can translate it into a mathematical model that can be solved (often optimally) via integer programming, constraint programming, or various forms of metaheuristics. I could manage my way around new solvers and programming languages if the project required it.

I'm currently working on a daily fantasy sports (DFS) solver as a personal project. Taking as input the predictions/requirements of a user, this solver can generate optimal lineups for multi-entry tourneys. It is, as far as I am aware, the only DFS solver that can generate provably optimal sets of lineups for multi-entry DFS tourneys.
It doesn't prevent anything, it just allows Google to claim it's not their fault. We "prohibited" it, what else could we do!

Is the implied 'solution' here really that the US should ignore safety, environmental, tax & human rights regulations like these third-world preferred flag countries? Because that's why these places are preferred: not because we have regulations, but because they ignore them.
The overhead of atomics is almost (if not entirely?) exclusively with regards to managing the caches in the CPU. Otherwise they're just normal bytes. Your CPU already has to do some cache management with regular bytes, so an atomic is only worse if there's contention (because that forces a flush).

The worst case for an atomic write is two additional cache line flushes, iirc.
Sure. I'll edit that down a bit.

I have a fair amount of experience dealing with the type of customer who is not great, and who would be great to get rid of. A net positive for everyone, if it were possible.

Most customers are great. Some are not. Some are essentially (or demonstrably) criminals. At scale, it's a huge problem and very difficult to solve. The platitude "the customer is always right" is a fine principle until you need to deal with the real world of fraud, criminal activity and harassment.
I was once talking to a senior dev from country X, he explained to me how vaccines cause autism, or how the moon landing is fake or Bill Gates is implanting microchips in all of us, that sums up how I feel about the country X.
How does this compare to auth0? Genuinely curious
Providing arms, intelligence, and other forms of support is done in the public eye, yes. They’re more likely referring to the possible deployment of SOF personnel to Ukraine.

A lot of people have the same critical opinion, only they didn't comment.
I couldn’t agree more, well said
I think there is a big difference between supplementing and replacing. Near total control leaves them sheltered, naive, and probably more rebellious, and of course it's silly to think that you can do a better job across the board than a bunch of professionals.

If you have the time, getting involved in your child's education is probably a huge win. Fill in some gaps you see, correct some biases. Help them get ahead in areas they are doing well in, help them catch up in areas they are not doing so well in. But just because those things are helpful doesn't mean that replacing their education entirely is going to be an improvement.

In theory you want anything with a finite lifespan to not need any repairs or maintenance during its lifespan and only fail once its lifespan has been exceeded.

Repairing isn't supposed to make sense, you get the next, better iteration of the product.

In practice, products fail way too early and for easily avoidable reasons justifying the need for repairs.
Businesses probably don't like including the word "faux" in their product names.
To my defense the GP to which this was answer to led off with

There is a good chance they might have been purging nitrogen they put into the system. If you are replacing the evaporator and condenser but not the line set, it is normal to purge the existing line set with nitrogen to clear anything out.
That is partially what makes it so difficult to catch people doing it, since it is not obvious whether they are venting refrigerant or nitrogen.
"Performative" as in "it's only a performance."

The implication is that they only care in so far as they are perceived to care.

I would focus on the “why” of the work more than the “how”. The details of your coding may not land, so be prepared to discuss the job and business more generally. Maybe they don’t end up coding. Help them understand how your role fits into the business as a whole. What do other people do that helps the business succeed.

Most of all, if they seem interested in anything you say, just ‘yes’ that and give them more even if it wasn’t your plan A.

Can confirm. Anecdotal.

Both my parents' eyesight have actually improved significantly recently. They don't really need glasses anymore.

But I can also confirm that my sister who had severe long-sightedness got her eyesight corrected with lasik. That was about 15 years ago, and there are no problems so far.
You don't care. OP does. It's also about options: if you look good or really good with hair but you don't have that option because you have a spot, it's hard.

It changes your face.

Pick any good looking actor. See how they look with a shaved head vs. with hair. Even those who look good without hair, they often look better with hair. When you shave your head.
> I assume it will accomplish helping the FCC realize that some people are upset about interference in the unlicensed bands

Trust me - they are very well aware of this - and Part 15 is already written with this in mind. No one is surprised that all the junk in the ISM band interferes - as I said elsewhere I think many of us are constantly amazed it works as well as it does.

This is also not enforceable interference - it does not meet the definition of “harmful interference”

> Report the issue as perceived, and give them a chance to surprise you with a useful outcome from that.

My question still remains - what do you think or hope this will accomplish?

Are you hoping they will carve out a slice of new spectrum for AirPods and give it to Apple for free?

> Refusing to report a problem just because (made up example) I think they don't care about Bluetooth

It’s not that they don’t care - it’s that this is getting really outside the scope of their regulations.

You do you, but the point of the federal complaint process is, well …“By filing a consumer complaint and telling your story, you contribute to federal enforcement and consumer protection efforts”

Consumer protection meaning scams and fraud over telecommunication or provision of services - its not a place to vent because your shitty electronics don’t work all the time - which is not fraud even though you may feel cheated. And there are no rules broken to enforce. Having read complaints I know that yours won’t nearly be the dumbest by far but it’s still dumb.
> Tom Cruise is a really bad example, because he actually does have a pilot license since 1994 and is allowed to fly some jets

Some jet ... but not the jets in the movie!

So what's the point in getting a Navy pilot to watch him "flying" them? Apart from - of course - being able to make clickbaity videos showing their "reactions".

> perspective how (un)-realistic those movies are

Erm, why? Movies are movies.

There's loads of excellent stuff to read/watch about actual fast jet flying. Far more interesting and, well, real.
I can answer this. Being from a non-religious family, it was the latter. Peer groups.

I can’t speak for everywhere or every time, but in the 90s in my city, those groups were diverse in some dimensions (age, economic, political beliefs, homeschooling method, schooling exposure, weird parents) and un-diverse in some dimensions (race, immigrants and 1st generation children of immigrants).

It’s important to note that I don’t think every school would get a checkmark on all of those boxes either. But where it differs the most would probably be numbers. Small schools exist in rural settings, but a peer group of 40 kids only about 5-10 of similar age to you is pretty different from most people’s school experience.
> We have seen the same thing happen to Star Wars where the legitimate criticism was painted as toxicity of the fandom.

Hold on a minute here. Yes, the racist assholes got more attention than they deserved. But Rise of the Skywalker was thrown together by a bunch of marketing executives looking through all that “legitimate criticism”, making a big checklist, and feeding it into their lifeless movie factory to create a giant wish fulfillment fantasy for all those “real fans” who were upset someone would dare to shake up their stale, predictable franchise. It was a terrible movie. Lessons: Disney is a cancer, but also people on the internet, as plentiful as they are, have no idea what they want.
They do, and their selection is constantly growing.

Shortly after it became legal (speaking for WA only here), it felt like every manufacturer chased the highest THC first.

Many years after, we now have the other side gaining a large presence. All sorts of things from high thc to 50/50 blend thc/cbd to high cbd/almost no thc concentrates. I can confirm that it isn't just a marketing bs, tried one of those low thc/high cbd carts before, and it didnt give me the feeling of high almost at all, even after about 10 hits (normally, 1-2 hits of a typical thc cart is plenty enough for me to feel it strongly and be done).

Low thc stuff is getting very high presence/prevalence among users and in advertising as well, it isnt reserved for the backshelf as "oh yeah, if regular stuff is too strong for you, we got a shelf in the back just for lighter stuff." It is sold and presented (in marketing and among customers) equivalently to how beers are sold in terms of varying percentages. Some like 4-5% alcohol, some like 7-8%, others prefer imperial versions (typically 9-11%), etc, but there is no "this is the one type of beer for everyone, the rest is just weaker/stronger alternatives."

However, I've only noticed this type of a push for promotion and popularity gain of less-thc-strong oils at dispensaries start gaining momentum only since around 2019. However, that area has been growing heavily and feels larger than ever now, so I can only see it gaining more footing in the future.
Grief. Does that to you. There is a sense of loss and grief in the OP’s teenage son and hence he cried. Sounds pretty human and normal no matter the age.

It's unclear whether "which" in that sentence is referring to Groningen or the Netherlands.
Thank you for these great thoughts and questions somethoughts. Awesome handle, btw

Actually I think about homeschooling more as a movement and ideology of greater involvement in education than a replacement to school. In fact, I call it “modular learning” where families can choose a variety of modules to compose their child’s education including school !

The burnout factor is real but I think that when you give yourself freedom to optimize on academics , social and childcare, you might find it’s lesss of a burnout than the grind of early morning wake-up’s, after school pickups , homework and pta meetings.

I’ve written a lot about curriculum tools to support learning at home.

With regards to physics and chemistry, it depends on your kid’s ages … some of my favorites off the top of my head are mystery science, blossom and roots science curriculum, quantum camp , mel science, Steve Spangler science
You can die from opiate withdrawal. It may seem easier to give up, but it is an objectively more addictive substance. Not to mention much more dangerous once becoming addicted.
If the opinions in this thread I replied to were driven by research, then they would have supplied a link to some of the research and discussed that. Instead, they were discussing an anecdote about kids smearing shit on walls.

For the record, TikTok is ridiculous. But let's not put on airs and pretend these opinions are driven by research. They're not.
It would have helped potential readers to know that this project is both in, and for, JavaScript, unlike the PMD project that I mentioned which offers that same XPath querying but for a bunch of target languages

I'm sorry but that's a damn foolish approach. Do not deliberately expose yourself to known propaganda! You are NOT too smart to be manipulated. Nobody is! The people who make this stuff are well aware of how "open minded" you are. The only safe thing to do is to boycott information from sources known to be operating in bad faith. Fact checking is not enough, even - it is possible to lie with facts.
That was the same conclusion I came to. I replaced my $20 toaster from 2015 with nearly-identical $30 toaster in 2020. I had looked into a lot of options to avoid the unified toaster box mechanism, including building my own, and eventually decided that the value proposition just wasn't there (especially considering how infrequently I make toast).
Childcare is a really big deal. One of the nice things about homeschool though is you can customize childcare for when you need it, not just 9-3
What's a MAU?
I thought Glassdoor was currated to a large extent for larger companies.
Now here is a more intellectually interesting question to me, and somewhat a reaction to our western media reporting interviewing mostly the young and the liberal who want to leave HK:

What do you do, or how should you feel/react/believe if a people actually want the tradeoffs of more authoritarianism in exchange for more security/economic stability/etc? Whether they make that choice informed or not so well-informed, is that an illegitimate choice, always bad?

I have the feeling that media bias is to side with the most visible and sympathetic example stories, which are people who oppose China in this case. What about the many, many segments of the population which don't care about the change, or actively support it? There is quite a bias, you must admit, in the media, that "China's encroachment/takeover/etc is objectively bad" -- which to me sometimes comes off as not having done much homework why that's true, or why it's so obvious.

>Yes, it means moving slower and buying a house later (and for more money)

The latter is not necessarily true relative to other countries and showcases people don't understand the long term influence, or lack there off, of various contract structures.

The US has at-will employment dangling a sword of Damocles over your head 24/7. Well, here we have temporary contracts not getting extended to permanent, and the status of a 'permanent' contract being the only way to open doors, which employers will royally abuse to lower other benefits.

US or not, the premise remains the same. Don't be reliant on a party not looking out for your best interests.
"Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun." The thing that could have saved HK was legalization and widespread private gun ownership. Yes, there would have been more gun crime, but the victims of all of the random gun crime in the world is a tiny fraction compared to the victims of communism.
So are we saying that open source programming languages are not allowed to make changes to their goals, features, or roadmaps?

And if they do make any changes, then people should go to the wayback machine and hold them accountable to what was in the past, and not what they are showing and saying in the present?

Seems to be very unrealistic, and more of a personal grudge or pet peeve.
I've seen a few videos recommended to me that are psychologist/therapist reacts. I'm pretty sure psychology and therapy without ever meeting and talking to the subject is generally considered unethical quackery.

By no means am I crapping on what you've created — it looks great, and I've always wanted to try DuckDB and now you've made a frictionless entrypoint — just wanted to point out in general that querying CSV with SQL is more accessible than some people might have assumed. e.g. here's a recent TIL blogpost from Simon Willison about him discovering how to do sqlite queries against CSV from the command line: https://til.simonwillison.net/sqlite/one-line-csv-operations
