For awhile now I have been wanting to create a better community for new and expert engineers to live together and help each other out.

There are plenty of existing places for this but none of them felt right. Most just end up toxic and people who really help others and give excellent feedback and support aren't rewarded.

This is why I started DevsUp. DevsUp is a paid community for software engineers that are serious about getting support and supporting others in their career. The total cost is $10 a month. Half of that total membership fee is paid back to the top members each month as a way to say thank you for supporting the community and providing excellent help.

For every 100 new members we as a community hold a vote to promote someone to "Professional". At the end of the month half of the money from dues is paid out and split among all the professionals.

This ensures that those that provide the most are rewarded for helping the community and gives new members a reason to want to help others and grow as they always have the opportunity to get promoted and earning money too! If you are interested you can join the community at:
What are the economies of scale in groceries? Seems like at a certain point there will be more overhead due to the management required for managing the entire chain of stores, and also lower quality of product due to only being able to source products from massive producers.
Of course it is. Also water is wet. Your gf will hate you. And, silly things do not need to be stated.
It goes beyond being a state of the art tool. It is a part of our culture having this observatory.

As a child, I loved going there and its the earliest part of my childhood that I remember something motivating me to pursue science/math. Even in my later part of my life I was able to do some research with the observatory which kick started my current career.

The island already suffers from a lack of funding in education, thus I fear the youth might miss out on this sense of awe and curiosity I was lucky enough to have as a child.

Another issue is that we have our brightest minds leaving the island because there's no fulfilling or well paying work to be done. The lack of this observatory is another reason more people will leave.

Here's a white paper the people in the observatory wrote about a new dish. It contains reasoning, beyond my socio-cultural observations, for having a new one.

Yep, exactly my thoughts!
Your point is understood, but at the same time, if it's not a recognized certification that is applicable to other jobs and positions, then it's a preference of the business, not a business need. The employer decided to make this a requirement for their employees, that is their decision and they should accept the cost.

More simply put, if it's not something that is readily verifiable and accepted by any other business in the same category, then I understand this as the employers' _choice_ to give their employees this business.

Would we consider the same reimbursement scheme for coffee/snacks and restroom breaks? These also are on paid time which costs the employer, but I don't think (yet) employers are trying to recoup such costs.

If we were talking about professional certifications, I would maybe understand some commitment agreement from the employees, but the trainings described are shop specific as per the article. I would not agree that this should require repayment, and seems the courts agree as well.
Does anyone know if this would be able to control a pair of relays on a network? I'm looking to control two electric heaters in my garage. I'd also like a pair of temp sensors. The hardest part of the project so far is the voltage to run a 240v relay is higher than the boards I've looked at can put out.

Any advice, or places I can go to for advice on projects like these would be appreciated.
Well, "this but unironically", really! One of the main tenets of how I hold SRE is that you should be confident in sending pretty much _anything_ to prod, because you trust the system you've built around it to catch problems before they lead to an outage. And in a world like that, with good shadow/canary deployments etc -- there's no better way to validate your change, right?
+1, I use DO's App platform to host 3 static nuxt.js sites, and because they're all static, it's all under their free tier, which is a huge plus!
Man in my 8 years of development

I have seen the transition away from server side to SPA, from SPA back to server side. Now people are doing server side in the browser. This industry will never become boring if we keep continuing those cycles.
This is not limited to PayPal. Several large banks are dipping their toes into ESG. I am more curious about the bank boardroom conversations that took place after PayPal experimented with that $2500 fine and then back-peddled. I am also curious what PayPal and the big banks might experiment with next.
The fundamental trade businesses make with employees is that they remove risk from the employee's life in return for removing the potential rewards that come from having a successful business.

If you add back a component of risk, you are making the trade a lot less attractive.
Apparently is the key word here. At that time Europe was awash with art vaguely inspired by spiritual gurus. As the article mentions, Theosophy (the likes of Mdm. Blavatsky) and Anthroposophy (Rudolph Steiner). Kandinsky evolved to be the most well known. Before Steiner and Blavatsky, there was Goethe. Before Kandinsky there was Leadbeater.

I teach art history (disclaimer… I am not an art historian). Too many times I have seen standard art history canon questioned on grounds that later prove to be questionable. The sad fact is that art history is most of all a question of ‘first past the post’, with little regard to inherent merit. Once written, it is very hard to unwrite.
Netlify and similar services have replaced me ever launching my own server ever again for personal projects that involve static content. Not sure how Netlify affords to serve all the traffic but so far so good on the free tier.
If they knew the terms of the deal, knew the cost of their training, and agreed, it is exactly like if you joined college and changed your major in my eyes. You don’t get off the hook for those bills because you changed your mind, and you knew what you were getting into.
It's very hard to believe things are worse than they used to be. Go back to the "golden age" of manufacturing and boom times in the US post WWII.

Drugs were not illegal, drunk driving was not illegal. Drinking lots was totally normal. No one thought any of it was an issue, so they likely were a lot more messed up and just didn't really care. People were taking smoke breaks constantly during the day which was certainly a drag on productivity. All the bad behavior was so normalized they didn't even think it was a problem.
Point of caution:

I felt much the same way in secondary school. I thought that there were people that were naturally gifted in things like math and the sciences, while I was somewhat gifted in things like English and subjects that required writing skills. Even the kids that were jocks and stoners could be amazing at math and science, subjects I loved, but was just not fit for.

Welp, it turned out that I just wasn't part of the cheating ring.

My teachers were so lazy that they never changed a single test or homework assignment and a lot of the kids found out; I was not one of them. The subjects with definitive answers thus gave my cheating fellows a corpus of perfect grades and I was forced to compete with the answer key. Subjects where any iota of reading or comprehension was required, they then had to rely on past examples of good grades, giving the rest of us a small chance.

Still, when I got to uni, I also was wowed by the intellect of certain people in the physics departments. There truly are some people that make me feel like a peanut. It's just not the dumb jocks that I knew to be dumb jocks but had to gaslight myself into thinking were actually good at math.

You know the smart ones when you see them.
Why security teams are losing trust in the term ‘zero trust’
Well yes, but we still get people regularly claiming here that anonymity is one of the great benefits of crypto, so there are a lot of people out there that still need to find this out.
It only works if the background is continuous and fairly static - you can't easily synthesize a complex background if you have no reference material. You can of course extrapolate the visible background using other AI that has knowledge of real surfaces; however if the background has familiar content (like a sign) that is not visible in the reference frame(s), it's unlikely to fool anyone no matter how well the face is animated.
Not once have I seen a "Musk to acquire free speech platform Twitter" headline. I wonder why Parler gets that distinction, but other platforms don't.
That's a better plan than what the US government announced for it. An "educational centre for science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM)"? In the mountains of Puerto Rico, miles away from larger populated areas? I mean, while there was a telescope there, that actually made sense, but now that it's gone?
Cheating in sports vs. cheating in journalism vs. cheating in science
What if you reinsert the same RAM stick into the same slot? Minute differences in insertion force and direction can lead to the frequency response of the RAM stick changing. Data paths might now be a micrometer long and require the BIOS to retrain the communication controller to compensate for that.

DDR5 tops out somewhere around 8 Gigahertz clock speed, which means the data signals travel 3 centimeters before the next clock signal arrives. At those time scales it means you're going to have to align those data signals down to the micrometer if you want them to be properly received.
If they are the off the shelf type that seems to be implied here then simple radio and GPS jamming works fine. If it is really unsophisticated then with a powerful enough signal you could hijack it and fly it somewhere safe.

I think Aldi's strategy of cheap, quality staples will continue to get traction. Lidl's trying to have it both ways and doesn't seem to be as successful.
I have been super impressed by the latency of the images hosted on Imagekit. Used to host images on Cloudinary, found Imagekit to be faster for my visitors + more affordable. I currently have 2 accounts with them, one for my personal website/blog on free tier and a paid tier for landing pages for my employer. Highly recommend them, no affiliations, just a super happy customer!
They are complementary. I've had code reviews pick up gaps in unit tests (e.g. the code is covered, but the state space isn't), and I've had code reviews miss some absolute doozies. Also code review is as much about sharing knowledge and reducing bus factor (if not more so) than acting like some great filter.
The general point of endowments is to support the university perpetually off the interest and not to spend it directly. For example, Stanford's $30 billion endowment returns $1.3billion per year but that only covers 21% of the universities operating costs.
metaphysic.ai##+js(aeld, wheel)

Done.
It is, but to a lesser degree because they don't have any demands like keeping me out of the public life if I don't have the correct papers or masks or whatever. Lab leakers were censored for political purposes while the question was open. Or it still is open as far as I know. Not too relevant for me personally, but I believe it shouldn't be possible to censor such opinions and that alone warrants a closer look. Self-inflicted harm in that case. They too don't have many demands.
Show HN: HiveMind – Notion team template on steroids
Launched this "Notion template as a product" last week to lackluster reception (11 sales, 2 refunds → $3,055.75).

Trying to figure out what's wrong.

It's either the product, positioning or price.
The front-end (read: Node) community is fairly young. They are still to learn that complexity kills. The hard way.

As for GraphQL - it's great for clients. As a backend engineer, you still have to do the work and a LOT of it.

This is just like microservices. No due diligence on whether the added complexity and destroyed productivity is worth it. "Everyone else is doing it".
How about Monero?
We just broke 42 minutes! At the very least they should have some better hold music.
I can see Uber (and many many tech companies) become profitable by significantly shrinking their tech and HQ workforce, removing driver/rider incentives and admit that the total addressable market is much smaller than they thought.

I think this is what will happen when interest rates go up and free money stops. Unfortunately, this will mean a lot of tech workers will lose their jobs and/or have their salaries decreased significantly.
A single large collecting area still has sensitivity advantages vs arrays of smaller dishes. It was also used for radar and measuring distances to various objects in the solar system and the beam pattern from a single source there is vastly simpler than trying to use a phased array for the same task.
Unless there are automated tumblers. Then they'll just sanction you.

haha, not going to focus on features, I promise :D
It's clear you didn't read the article and don't know anything of Klint's work. I've seen her and Kandinsky's work, if anything Kandinsky is derivative of Klint, who developed her abstract style a full 5 years before him. Both are wonderful artists, and she is "rediscovered" because she had been written out of art history books. She is now recognized as a contemporary of Kandinsky who influenced _him_.

Here's an excerpt from the article, "She developed a vocabulary of triangles, squares, circles and spirals before Wassily Kandinsky, Piet Mondrian and Kazimir Malevich declared themselves the inventors of abstraction. While Kandinsky claimed to have created the first abstract painting in 1911, Af Klint had in fact beaten him to it in 1906"
The most sensible thing to do with blockchain is to track produce from when it's picked to when it's sold for QC. Every other use suggested, like voting, is just stupid trouble.
Thank you for responding! That goes to the edge of my understanding and a bit beyond. I'm not familiar with some definitions like Lorentz-invariant, so I'll be doing some reading. But let's use that (or something similar) and ask, when you make a statement like:

>> Despite many searches for LIV (Lorentz-invariance violation), it remains fully locally Lorentz-invariant.

Are bell inequality violations Lorentz-invariant? In other words, is the answer staring people straight in the face and they can't see it? If that's the wrong concept to be violated, substitute whatever one belongs in there. I completely admit to being lightyears out of my depth here, so I apologize if this is way off base.
Here in FL there is a Publix on every corner.
Blockchains are anonymous, not untraceable. Except Monero, which is both.
There is another paper by the same author about a similar phenomenon: "Secondary observer effects: idiosyncratic errors in small-N secondary data analysis" - it's available from Sci-Hub.
OP here. All answers are good. I was looking for a lay of the land and appreciate all the options people are chipping in with.
Are you familiar with forest fires?
Time passed it.

FAST (five-hundred-meter aperture telescope) already exists and combining smaller ones is also an option.
> Hopefully for them that includes executives and managers

Yeah, its always them that get cut \s
s/some/most/, especially if you're counting by market cap or number of users.
There are tools that will do this for you - some of the "static site" generators IIRC, or the minifiers.

You can even base64 the thumbnails and still have "click through" to the source image if desired.
Yes we can tell.
It was ported to the Go environment. Go is not Unix. Go is closest to Plan 9, if anything, but stands as its own thing.
Lots of comments here guffawing at the lack of revelation, but anonymity is central to blockchain-related popular understanding (and endless crypto pr).
Codeberg: A GitHub alternative from Europe
> by reading the article again I think the spirit of that point is not 'use just helm' but 'don't apply stuff directly'

Yep, this is what I meant! Just "if you're using some kind of manager for your resources, which you probably are, then ONLY use that manager, don't just `apply` stuff out of band" is the idea :)

I might take a pass later at making that more clear
> I have used the Angular one and the Laravel one, and both are a chore to use, because they interrupt your flow. If I'm writing the view of my component, I don't want to have to switch to another file, think of a key that identifies that text well enough and then translate the text, thinking of potential plurals and others. I just want to write my damn text.

In django (python), the key is just the English text (with optional extra context), and if it doesn't find a translation for the target language it dumps that text back out. You don't need to go anywhere else until actually doing the translating.
> When you spin more instances as load grows, what updates the DNS?

If you're using cloud LBs, this happens automatically. If not, you can have the instances register themselves in DNS when they turn on. You can also have an out of band system register things in DNS based on rules (or maybe you already have software that supports registering based on health checks so you can add DNS entries from a fixed list of static IPs when they become healthy/powered on)

> When you have more than one service interacting, or when your LB restarts / fails over, what updates the DNS?

You can have the LBs communicate peer-to-peer so they can update DNS when they become unavailable (if A and B can't reach C, they remove its DNS record). Some care needs to be taken to prevent things like split brain but there's established patterns for cluster formation. Something like keepalived could be used. You can also use VIPs instead of DNS

You end up with service discovery either way. Either you discover a load balancer or you discover an endpoint directly. Load balancers allow you to more granularly route traffic with the client being aware of the server topology. This is good when you're exposing services to the web/public clients. On the other hand, load balancers add a certain overhead and can become bottlenecks for high-traffic services
In theory traceability is not a problem if you can maintain a complete anonymity of your online persona - which in practice most people can't.

> A critical weakness of crypto is that the actors involved are less trustworthy than government.

If anything, "crypto" is based on the idea that people can't be trusted, and is thus a trustless system, based on an agreed upon protocol with cryptographic controls. It isn't meant as an improvement to an existing system, but as an alternative system, and while we often hear of people who say it is a scam, that it won't work, that it can't work, the unbiased reality is that it is being used for value transactions and has been non-stop for over a decade now.

The phrase "a general consensus on the value of crypto" is equal to "a general consensus on the value of money". Crypto (as in cryptocurrencies, cryptoassets, and, in general, blockchain based digital ledgers) is a vast subject. Nothing stops someone from creating their own paper currency or non-blockchain digital currency (Nectar points, air miles).

There are for sure questions to be asked here about how unregulated, crowd managed currencies can be integrated into existing societies were money is heavily regulated, but that is another subject.
An oligopoly is not much better.
You can have open ledgers without compromising anonymity, via ZK cryptography.
Like anything in the real world, an absolute rule like this is inappropriate, but I agree that we need a much higher bar of scrutiny on these kinds of mergers before they are approved.
That's just ignorant of the large amount of interesting blockchain-related ideas and research going on (again, most of which you don't mention in the article).
Yes, Crypto is a scam.

No, Fidelity is not a scam.
>The vid even shows what set of instructions this 'mode' would break.

It would be possible to add more hardware to detect these instructions, so it could then trap and emulate them.
> The traditional banking model achieves a level of privacy by limiting access to information to the parties involved and the trusted third party. The necessity to announce all transactions publicly precludes this method, but privacy can still be maintained by breaking the flow of information in another place: by keeping public keys anonymous. The public can see that someone is sending an amount to someone else, but without information linking the transaction to anyone. This is similar to the level of information released by stock exchanges, where the time and size of individual trades, the "tape", is made public, but without telling who the parties were.

> Banks must be trusted to hold our money and transfer it electronically, but they lend it out in waves of credit bubbles with barely a fraction in reserve. We have to trust them with our privacy, trust them not to let identity thieves drain our accounts. Their massive overhead costs make micropayments impossible.

- Satoshi

The reality is that Satoshi envisioned bitcoin very differently from how things are currently implemented. They envisioned public keys being rotated, single use addresses, etc.

The current systems don't provide any of the privacy that the original paper sought.

> It is high time for blockchain enthusiasts to ask this question: Have the primary principals underlying bitcoin’s design — privacy, fraud proof, non-inflationary— been completely destroyed by today’s blockchain operators?

You can pick apart this Medium post if you'd like but I think it's really an excellent question. Read the original paper and ask yourself if what we're seeing in the market is really the "Satoshi vision".
It's up in the mountains in a bowl though so it's shielded in many ways from the worst effects of storms. It weathered them fine for about 50 years.
>(lenovo T61p)

Not the person you're responding to but I wouldn't call a T61p brand new, it was released in 2012 after all.
Got examples? I can't see how an untraceable blockchain could still be considered a blockchain (or what use it would be). Isn't the whole point to be perfectly traceable?

Terminology being misused is 1 thing.

A term evolving to be worthless as a term is another thing.

The actual concept of zero trust is another. Everyone agrees zero trust is the way to go. If non-technical people ruin the terminology, that's not going to change the usefulness of zero trust.
Pseudonymous, usually. You tend to have a 1:n mapping of wallet addresses to transactions. Unless you use Monero, which is anonymous.
I agree with this and have 2 book recommendations to help with marketing and sales.

For marketing, I recommend Traction by the founders of Duck Duck Go. It gives a practical guide to tons of different marketing channels and when each one is appropriate https://www.amazon.com/Traction-Startup-Achieve-Explosive-Cu...

For sales, I recommend How You Make the Sale. It's a general sales book no matter if you're selling software, services, or physical goods and it does a great job of walking you through the sales process and where it overlaps with the buying process. It also helps reframe a lot of the "scary" parts of sales like objections as "requests for more information". Highly recommend for technical people who are new to sales https://www.amazon.com/How-Make-Sale-Frank-McNair/dp/1402204....
