Zeek | Senior PHP Developer | Remote | US | Full-time | https://zeek.com

Zeek Interactive is a small and highly focused group of talented people. We’ve been building great software and solving problems for clients since 1995, and we’ve been focused on the web from day one. As the web has grown and changed, our skills have expanded to match.

We're looking for an experienced full-time Mid to Senior Laravel Developer to join our engineering team. Someone who has a solid understanding of web technologies and wants to help architect, build, launch and scale major systems and user facing features.

You’re comfortable working in a fast-paced environment with a small and talented team where you're supported in your efforts to grow professionally. You are able to manage your time well, communicate effectively and collaborate in a fully distributed team.

We'd love to hear from you! https://www.ziprecruiter.com/job/9118d06c
IOW I wouldn't see it as a judgement of value of your work. If you're the roofer that's been cut off, it's not because it's bad to fix leaks, or because you don't do a good job at it. It's only because your employer felt like they needed the cash for something else.
Could you please stop posting unsubstantive and/or flamebait comments? We have to ban accounts that do this. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.

I was sympathetic to Rachel at the beginning, but nothing that she said in ever resolved the main concerns:

* TrustCor owns MsgSafe.io, which somehow incorporated an unobfuscated and customized version of the malware. She kept trying to distance the CA from MsgSafe, but as Kathleen points out that's disingenuous given that Rachel herself is both VP of Operations of the CA and Director of Operations of MsgSafe.

* TrustCor was, until recently, owned by the same holding company that also owned Measurement Systems, which produced the malware incorporated by MsgSafe's app.

If these things were not true, they should have been pretty easy to debunk. If they are true, I agree with Mozilla that they provide sufficient reason to revoke the CA. The ties to the malware are just too close to risk leaving them trusted.

We were contracted because the agency lost lawsuits and had to payout and change policies. The contractor was never successfully sued, but I had to compile lawsuit discovery documents 6 times in 2 years.

Hello, my name is Jesse.

I'm looking to solve hard technical problems that have a net-positive impact on the world.

I'm a competent C and C++ programmer. The C++ spec weighs a lot, so I'm hesitant to call myself an expert, but I have a good working knowledge of both languages. I've recently been writing a C++11-ish compiler frontend, so I'm quite familiar with that portion of the compilation pipeline.

I've also been working on the foundations of a 3D game engine for ~6 years, which has taught me a great deal about systems and graphics programming. It compiles on Windows, Linux and Web (WASM/WebGL). I chose to build it without libraries (Handmade Hero style) which began as a learning exercise, but ended up teaching me the value of simplicity.

I've also done a significant amount of web development, having started my career as a web-dev. I would certainly consider joining a web development shop with a compelling team and product.

In more recent history I've been working on a metaprogramming system for C. Think C++ templates/constexpr, but fast to compile and in some cases much more powerful. It turns out I have a passion for compilers. I was also recently actively contributing to Oil, a new bash runtime and POSIX compliant shell.

Lastly, I'm a systems programmer at heart. I love having direct access to the CPU and needing to understand the hardware architecture, as opposed to the internals of an interpreter, to write well-working and well-performing code. I strive to understand the core of what I'm working on.

That's the cliff-notes on my technical background. As a person I'm friendly and easy to get along with. I like the phrase "Have strong opinions, weakly held". Outside of work I enjoy surfing, backcountry skiing, snowmobiling, rock-climbing and beer! I split my time between Canada, Costa Rica, and Mexico.

great to see Go doing more than just web backends and networking.
China also makes the claim of 1000s of years of history but Taiwans inclusion in that history is about 200 years. And of that less than 10 was a province that China still didn’t govern or control. It was more or less just something they said to deter Japan. So historically China has never ruled over Taiwan. Japan has more claim to Taiwan than China as it actually ruled and controlled Taiwan.
What's the risk to your business of other data security companies (like BigID) offering this kind of functionality?

>Computers can confabulate at full speed for gigabytes at a time.

This I think is the actual problem. Online forums will likely be filled with AI generated BS in the very near future, if not already.

>"The statistically-most likely conclusion of this sentence" isn't even a poor approximation of truth... it's just plain unrelated. That is not what truth is. At least not with any currently even remotely feasible definition of "statistically most likely" converted into math sufficient to be implementable.

It's not necessarily clear that this isn't what Humans are doing when answering factual questions.

>And I don't even mean "truth" from a metaphysical point of view; I mean it in a more engineering sense. I wouldn't set one of these up to do my customer support either. AI Dungeon is about the epitome of the technology, in my opinion, and generalized entertainment from playing with a good text mangler. It really isn't good for much else.

By the same logic how can we allow Humans to do those jobs either? How many times has some distant call center person told you "No sir there is definitely no way to fix this problem" when there definitely was and the person was just ignorant or wrong? We should be more concerned with getting the error rate of these AI systems to human level or better, which they already are in several other domains so it's not clear they won't get to that level soon.
The criminal code.

A penal code includes a closed set of behaviours, also called crimes. In order to commit a crime you need to check if both actus reus (the act) and mens rea (the criminal state of mind). So you have to analyze all the parameters that may apply which may be multiple. How to defend a criminal is a great exercise to become a better thinker and problem solver.
>Yep, I can confirm this based on personal experience with a gynecologist telling my wife that at 35 the pregnancy is considered a "geriatric pregnancy" (apparently some docs now call it "AMA"...advanced maternal age).

From the tweet thread: "Apple’s proprietary In-App Purchase system does not support crypto", so they seem at least have considered the idea of giving them a cut of the proceeds if it was supported.
Thanks for the info! I'll be keeping an eye on this for sure. What I'm working on is a PoC and it's working well thus far. As Extism advances and supports some of these upcoming features, it may turn out to be "just right" for my needs.

"Share buybacks strengthen the stock price of the company, which the company can leverage in the future to raise more capital if needed (by re-releasing new shares to the market). From that perspective, they are better than dividends."

You are confused. A 100 dollar company with 100 shares outstanding, each worth 1 dollar, is not better able to raise capital than a 100 dollar company with 50 shares outstanding, each worth 2 dollars.

And even if it were a reverse stock split can convert the former to the latter.
> Before having children, I thought I was fairly empathetic and introspective, but raising a child helped me realize how superficial those traits in myself were.

Ditto. I also realized that I am not laid back or easy going, and that I can be quite aggro at times.

Humbling realizations.
Congrats on the launch! Interesting product.

How are updates handled, if I’m hosting the container in my cloud? How should I plan for troubleshooting if there are incidents involving JumpWire?
UTF-8 is superior due to self-synchronizing features and the fact truncated or otherwise damaged sequences are obviously damaged, even if they use unknown characters.
This has probably been the default situation for most of history I'd think.

Great-grandma would 60, and hell, with some luck, great-great-grandma might have been kicking around still at 80!
Does it really generate the text like that, little by little, or is that just a needless animation?
Doesn't the existence of anorexia (which appears to be socially transmissible) and the fact that people who take up hobbies like bodybuilding are able to manage their fat levels well suggest that environmental contaminants aren't the whole story? The staple bodybuilding foods are rice and chicken breast. That's about as industrialized as you can get.

If there were people getting fat eating broccoli, potatoes, chicken, and salad I would buy the contamination argument, but when you look at what people who have trouble managing their weight actually eat it is never simple foods like that.
It's a risk/reward situation. I hope we find better options, but it seems like a really delicate situation. The studies in this area always seem really small, but the problem seems much bigger. I think people attribute failure to the other partner to such a great extent that people try for long enough that some healthy enough sperm do their job. It takes people a long time to seek help when it's really easy to check the sperm.
Both the Pulse and Pocket acquisitions look like corrupt favors done by Mozilla executives for their friends, so it makes sense to lump both together.
> Wouldn't one notice if they're almost halfway through a word and nothing has shown up on the screen?

There is quite a delay between the eye detecting something and it being consciously processed to the point of being used in decision making. Away from built-in reactions (move hand away from burning sensation and so forth) that are not consciously controlled there is a sometimes surprising amount of latency in our view of the world. It is surprising because the brain does a rather good job of smoothing it out with guesses/predictions such that you generally don't notice.

Only when things fall outside the range of patterns you naturally cope with or expect because they are consequences of your own actions, do you really become aware of them. So he might not notice usually, but would if an error or something else unexpected occurred.

This is why 100ms, or even sometimes 200ms, is fine for many things, but others cause irritation despite delays of 40ms or sometimes significantly lower. The brain smooths out what it can, the rest sets of warnings of potential trouble.
Would love to hear more about your experience there.

> (the concept became popular in the JVM world and lead to abominations like OSGi)

I remember this, though it was a couple years before my time. Although some of the underlying technology has changed those problems you outlined have remained the same. These things are all relevant to our next steps. We've been thinking a lot about what developer experience problems need to be solved.
The charts presented in this article seem designed to be misleading - different scales, and large offsets from zero designed to make small absolute differences look large. Of course, I wouldn't expect anything less from a blatant ad for interviewing prep from interviewing.io

It matters, because if you aren't careful you'll jump to the wrong conclusion (such as thinking that capital was destroyed, when in fact no capital was destroyed at all). Resources can be bought with money. Someone who has money can be thought of having resources. However convenient this simplification may be, it's not true that money is itself a resource. And this is especially important to bear in mind when we're assessing the amount of resources in the economy (in order to figure out if any resources were in fact destroyed). Counting money as a resource is an accounting error known as double counting, which occurs when the same thing is counted twice.

This article sucks. Those graphs are horribly misleading, it's just a blatant ad.
SEEKING WORK | US, TEXAS | REMOTE

----------------------------------

I've 16 years of experience delivering projects in large enterprises and early-stage startups. I'm a mix of both business and technical, and my expertise is in working with technical and non-technical folks to quickly bring new ideas to market while keeping costs low and quality high. I write most of the code, build the hardware, and occasionally hire consultants/companies to help.

Tech: Node/Express, TypeScript, Angular, React, C++, Python, Postgres, Redis, Java, Raspberry Pi, Arduino, hardware prototyping, OpenCV, basic deep learning using pre-built models, OCR, iOS programming, Android

Relevant experience

* I bootstrapped a project from idea to $15k MRR - I built the entire thing using Node, Angular, Postgres, and Python running on EC2.

* Delivered a project that handles 2 million events per second, primarily built in Java.

* IoT project, which included building initial prototypes using Raspberry Pi, Arduino & ESP 32 + various sensors, hired contractors to make the final product (custom PCB and enclosure). I wrote firmware in C++ and backend in Typescript/Node/Express, Python, Postgresql, Redis, Typescript/Angular, and Swift for iOS.

* One-touch document processor & automation that digitized paper documents and took relevant actions. Built it using Node/Angular, Postgresql, OpenCV, Paddle OCR, Tesseract, Scikit.

>An example of this is that freezing your eggs costs upwards of $30k, and is still viewed as something only very select late 30's successful women do.

Isn't that also very unreliable ? When we went to IVF clinic they told us that freezing the eggs has much lower chance of them being usable compared to fertilized eggs.
That's true! Whenever I demo Nix for someone in person, the first trick I do is

> Look ma, no /usr/lib

and right after that it's a chat about the Nix store, and then a tour of what all those ugly hashes let you achieve.

I guess when I wrote that comment I was mostly thinking about what it's like to administer NixOS on a personal system over the moderate term, not the initial shock and wonder of hiking through the glorious Nix symlink forest under /nix/var/nix/profiles for the first time. :)
This is really interesting to me. I used to run a team that owned a software library (that you've probably heard of) that runs on Mac, Windows, iOS, Android, and embedded Linux. The product is over a decade old, so it's in C++ because that was the only real choice back then. We bolted on static analysis yet still had senior engineers working full time to iron out stability issues (deadlocks and other race conditions). I've been thinking about alternatives for a while now; Rust naturally, but also C# with Native AOT in .NET 7 (only supports Windows and Linux so far, but maybe in the future). It got me thinking though, why have to choose? There are a good number of languages that can compile to WASM, so maybe just bridge the platform-native presentation layer to WASM and put all the core logic in WASM. It "should" provide near-native performance and open up many other languages, and provide a nice migration path to run the existing C++ and new code in another language side-by-side. I know it's not explicitly the goal, but Extism seems like it could provide that functionality. I'll be following this project!
There are only two levels at the moment, it's still a prototype. :)
And missing a "well done!" screen, obviously.
It seems that for Spotify it's only premium that allows for download for offline playback.
