Vetspire | Full Stack Software Engineer | REMOTE US / Canada (HQ in Austin, TX) | Full-Time | $120k - $150k | https://vetspire.com

Vetspire is a veterinary medical records and practice management platform. We’re a startup reimagining the way that veterinarians use technology, impacting every aspect of patient care from the exam room to managing client communications and clinical analytics. As part of our team, you’ll be designing the future of what veterinary technology should and can be, and you’ll be joining a founding team out of the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory building a research platform for evidence-based veterinary medicine.

We’re growing quickly and looking for a full stack engineer to join the team to help bring veterinarians’ dreams into fruition. Your day to day work will consist of learning and understanding veterinarians' and veterinary staff needs and bringing them into reality from the front-end to the backend. To do this, you’ll be working at every stage of patient care from the exam room to back-end analytics.

Some examples of what your weeks may look like: creating an emergency room clinical census to monitor patients and alert staff in real-time, designing the interface and algorithms for intelligent immunization reminders, and building a secure messaging platform for client and doctor communications.

We're looking for someone who will take ownership over the full pipeline of their work in a team-centered atmosphere that will work and talk directly with the users every day. You'll want to take pride in talking with clients to understand their needs, brainstorm with the clients to find the ideal solution, implement the back-end architecture at scale, design beautiful and intuitive interfaces on the front-end, and continually iterate based on client feedback.

This specific role will be very hands-on: you'll work closely with our users to understand their unique needs and build solutions for them to solve real problems in the field. It's half-part engineering, half-part problem solving.

Our backend is a GraphQL Phoenix/Absinthe application written in Elixir, our front end is a React SPA using the Apollo GraphQL framework, our primary database is PostgreSQL, and it all runs on Google Cloud via Kubernetes.

Experience with these technologies will be a great bonus (especially Elixir, React, and GraphQL), but the most important experience is in understanding users’ problems and putting together end-to-end solutions. Experience in healthcare technology is also a boon, but not at all required. Keen attention to detail and design is a must.

Yah Macffee, worse than most virus in the amount of energy and time it wastes.
Irrational reactions to statistically anomalous "stranger danger" and similiar are why CPS has that power in the first place.
Lowering the financial barrier to entry would help. Idk how, but part of the industry's problem is that people who want to learn to fly can't afford to.
I'm also from the bay area, and it's quite simple: demand skyrocketed due to tech, and supply couldn't keep up, due to various kinds of regulations.

Zoning is the most obvious regulation that makes things hard: most land is zoned exclusively for single family homes on large lots. There's been a bit of movement on this from the state level to allow ADU's or duplexes, but not enough, there's usually various legal hurdles that make it harder. Missing middle housing is mostly still illegal.

The other thing is all the various processes involved. CEQA makes things take a long time (not that I'm opposed to protecting the environment, but surely there's a way to do it that doesn't take years for an apartment complex). Community meetings and planning commissions can often block new developments for random, arbitrary reasons, like "tall building would cast too many shadows" or "demand on street parking would increase"; these are things that are so obviously inherent to any significant development permitted in areas where you can build taller apartment buildings, and yet they're still used to block more housing.

False dichotomy. How about only seeing "normal" naked bodies within the bounds of marriage, and banning porn?
On my M2 Air, 16G, 10 CPU cores, the default command as in the installing instructions takes like 2m20s.
I used it for a bit due to issues signing in with the proper Linux version.

It had all sorts of issues with lag, sometimes buttons wouldn't respond for tens of seconds.

Once I got Linux teams working again it was my much better.
Yes, I could. In fact I actually also use the PIV functionality, just not for SSH. The GPG answer seems simpler, at least for my use-case, since it really does just require SSH and GPG (okay, and GPG configured to `enable-ssh-support`). Also, I was actually using a GPG-as-SSH-key before I started hosting it on my Yubikey.

Sadly, the Windows GPG build and Win32-OpenSSH don't talk to the agent the same way, so it doesn't work there. (AFAIR Windows GPG - and Putty - uses "Assuan" while Win32-OpenSSH uses named pipes just like *nix SSH/GPG do.) I don't think PIV would help that though :(

College girlfriend of mine was way into LSD and magic mushrooms. Twenty-plus years on I ran into her, and to describe her as paranoid does not even begin to touch it.

I mentioned something I remembered, and suddenly I was The Man, who was I working for, what was I trying to learn?

Maybe not related at all, and I'm just one person, but just night and day difference. I changed my email address and phone number. Had to.
Because CA mandated this low share

>The main driver deterring PG&E from seeking a 20-year operating licence extension is the 2015 renewable portfolio standard (RPS) of producing 50% of its electricity from qualified renewable energy sources by 2030. PG&E’s model for the future cost of operating Diablo Canyon indicated that the cost per kilowatt hour was going to almost double, since the company would be forced to lower the amount of power it could produce from the plant in order to meet the state’s requirement. Dropping the capacity factor from the current 92% to say 50% would virtually double the price per kilowatt hour since costs are largely fixed.

>The state law which effectively dictates that by 2030 Diablo Canyon should operate at lower capacity each year and buy in power from intermittent renewables has apparently sealed the fate of the plant.
In most areas taxi-companies use a zone-based system where cars will flag what zone they're in (rarely automatically using GPS and more often via button presses) this is an effort by the cab company to keep their vacant vehicles well distributed to keep a high response rate and increase customer turnover.

It also happens to have the side benefit that an operator watching the flagged zones would be able to see this kind of an issue happening in advance and maybe check into why every cab is suddenly bee-lining it to zone 3.

Once you seo=ed the PR in enough blogs the news just needs a little tip to run the PR as an emerging trend piece. Once you get the trend pub then the PR can get into Wikipedia and becomes disagreement settling science.
64 channels I/O at 192khz over USB2? That's insane. Isn't USB2's bandwith 60 MB/sec?

Ok, I just checked, and a 192kHz 24-bit WAV file is only 0.56 MB per sec. Nice.
Also consider this: whenever someone complains about something you're hearing one side. The complaints might be valid. The information could be real but incomplete. Perhaps there are things that person didn't know. Perhaps there are things that they chose not to disclose because it doesn't pain them in a good light or it simply contradicts the narrative they're presenting.

With the Elon lawsuit with Twitter, it presents an opportunity for people to raise their public profile. (Many) Elon stans will be inclined to believe it no matter what. You will have stories written about you. You may well get interviewed or even called as a witness.

So Mudge here has a financial incentive and may want to raise his public profile. This is selective release of information to serve both of those ends. Again, it could still all be true. But always consider the source and what they ahve to gain.

This is just basic media literacy, really.

So me pointing out how Mudge might (and I really do mean "might"; I'm not saying he is biased) be biased should prompt you to see if there any flaws in his claims. If someone is disagreeing with his assertions, look at what they're saying, what their motivations are and if there are any obvious flaws.

I find this a good rule to live by: if someone says someone that agrees with your preconceived notions, whatever those might be, be doubly skeptical.
Even if that's your angle, Prop 13 is bizarrely overbroad. If you just wanted to protect long-term residents from needing to move:

* Remove its application to commercial property

* Remove its application to second/vacation homes

* Remove its application to inherited property

* Only apply the restriction if the increase would be burdensome on the household's income

* Only apply the restriction once someone has lived in the house for a significant amount of time, e.g. 5+ years.
I wonder if Mudge was fired for, basically, being too good at his job. He didn't toe the CEO's line, and was pointing out how the house was on fire, which is not what Agrawal wanted to hear(maybe Dorsey wanted to hear it when he hired Mudge, but Agrawal had different ideas). I suspect that most people who make it ultra high level as "Head of X", are hired more for their organizational/social talents, which oftentimes involves capitulating to those more powerful/higher on the food chain, rather than being actually talented at X. Mudge actually has the bona fides for the role, which is why he got fired (I'm guessing).
Seems like a great way to stock up your firewood supply for the next winter, if you manage to target it in a way that doesn't cause half the city to show up, but maybe a little less than that?

The best jobs for society seem to be the worst appreciated and compensated.

Corporate tax accountants "earn" orders of magnitude more than janitors and nurses. Media puppets earn far far more than investigative journalists. Lawyers are respected more than teachers, in many ways. It's all absolutely batty.

That said, seems to me the best compensated people, with the least friction in their career, and with the least amount of overt evil done to society seem to be consultants. If you can start a consulting business in some field you can probably do well, financially at least.

I am not a consultant. From here though, it seems like they get paid astoundingly well by large companies that have no real way to measure the outcomes, so you just have to be confident and chipper and give people the feeling that you know what you're talking about and can help them.

Good luck!

Résumé/CV: PhD from Cambridge. BSc & MSc in CS plus MSc in AI and Statistics. More than 10 years of experience in different roles.

Email: ypres14 at proton dot me

I have significant experience in symbolic AI (expert systems and term rewriting) and formal verification (theorem proving, program analysis and model checking) as well as in probabilistic programming, statistics (GLMMs, extreme value theory and heavy-tailed time series) and modern AI (e.g. Bayesian NNs). I expect both fields to converge during this decade. I also have significant experience as a systems engineer (e.g. implementing distributed message passing inference).

Willing to consider positions a bit outside these areas in case they are related to interesting problem domains or technologies (e.g. Erlang, Rust or Haskell).
Exactly! I can hold the layer key and do the entire ()[] sequence for links in markdown in one go and every time I do that it makes me smile.
A few customers will have strong negative opinions "I was waiting at the airport in the rain for four hours!" but most people will indeed shrug this off. It's a much different issue than what happens when payment systems are compromised.

A lot more people care if they're informed their credit card was stolen and told to carefully watch statements for the next month - that leverages a real PITA cost on the customer.

>Regulatory oversight is not necessary for safety to improve over time.

Doesn't this neglect the deaths in the short term? If we remove all speed limits and safety regulations on cars, there will likely be a spike in deaths. Maybe there will be enough public sentiment to change that, but there will be a lag that creates an awful lot of death in the near term.

(I'd also argue that regulation is one of the main mechanisms the public exerts such demands, because there is a natural asymmetry in market power between a manufacturer and a collection of individuals)
I suspect you're kidding, but you know, having lived through a few very long traffic jams I could imagine some scenarios where I'd be willing to pay for:

1) Rickshaw or cargo bike with a narrow pull along trailer to let me use the bathroom
2) Similar setup with food and drink
3) Similar setup with a few gallons of gas if I've gotten a bit too close to empty
4) More expensive (XL?) version of the service where I am getting delivery from a helicopter (since drones flying over congested traffic is not an FAA approved delivery method)

You might not be able to make this a daily thing, but when things get bad I suspect the margins might be unreal.

We are a company trying to tackle climate change through energy efficiency. The built world (residential and commercial buildings) accounts for about 40% of carbon emissions. We aim to do something about that.
In a nutshell, we turn the budget and energy consumption of a building into an engineering optimization problem using data (collected from the building with a proprietary IoT platform) and software. Our stack is primarily React, Rust, and Postgres on GCP.

We are looking for intelligent people who care about climate change. We are well funded and have the backing of important minds in our space. We are looking for:

- Senior Frontend Engineer
- Lead QA Engineer
- Lead Backend Engineer
- Engineering Manager

You can email me at hamza.surti [at] backpacknetworks [dot] com (dir of software eng) or use the submission form on our website: https://bractlet.com/careers (email me if the job you want isn't showing up there).
Wait, what? I stand very corrected! Thanks for clarifying, this is indeed much more interesting than I gave credit initially.
I'd buy that book!
or you could just legalize building anything other than single family dwellings. there's a lot of room in between quarter acre lot suburbia, and a crowded favela! look up "missing middle housing". the problem is purely a matter of restrictive zoning.

People have been talking bs about Windows for a long time, but I think Apple will do even worse than what MS did to Windows. As something gets more popular (in this case, macOS), unfortunately it falls victim to corporate greed (telemetry, forced updates, etc.)
How much new housing have they been adding YoY?

When people suggest that adding more new housing, either public or private, doesn't work, this is usually left out: how much housing actually was being added?
Well, consider the grandparent's example:

> Note that european style privacy law is differentiated in the finer details: a person who films at a nude beach can claim to do so as a technological extension of their own personal memories and with no intention to publish the material and that is not in violation of privacy laws.

This would be reasonably clear-cut if images were being published on a professional pornography site or whatever, but what happens when the voyeur changes their mind and sends a pic to a friend who never re-shares it?

There are two possibilities here: either the law is unenforceable in cases like these and acts more like a security blanket than any sort of protection to be relied upon, baiting people into a false sense of privacy where they're open for exploitation by creeps - or you've got mandatory on-device image scanning / no E2E / etc, as compromising private communications is required in cases where the material would never hit public services.

Btw, I don't even really see this as a US vs. EU philosophy-of-law thing - the US has plenty of dumb unenforceable laws that do more harm than good as well, but imo does at least get the privacy in public issue roughly correct.

e: downthread, this is at least anecdotally a problem: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32673402

My uncharitable take is that this is the result of this style of privacy protection's unenforceability problems. If it works so well, why the decline in participation / increase in electronic voyeurism?

Have you read this page carefully especially the section "remote execution option"

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/postgres-fdw.html

If not give it a try.

Also this one might help too.

Now, about re-sharding:

I know this is not as care free as in NewSQL dbs like CockroachDB but its not that difficult either.

Choosing a shard key ultimately comes down to breaking down your ER diagram and inspecting the incoming write flow to certain tables which are bound to grow.

In any of the cases you don't have to let your user suffer from downtime. At least I have not. Even if you chose wrong shard key, You can gracefully transfer or re-distribute the data records by creating new tables and renaming then with old ones. The window of appearant downtime here is few milliseconds. This is not something which will happen frequently.
Jet fuel is unleaded. It’s also pretty close to diesel, and some aircraft manufacturers have diesel piston engines that can use JetA. The leaded culprit is AVGas aka 100LL which we use in piston general aviation aircraft.
