We partner with climate-driven companies & organizations, directing funding towards these technologies to lower costs, accelerate deployment, and promote energy equity across the US.

We are a seed stage startup backed by some of the most respected climate investors on the planet (True Ventures, Jetstream, Village Global, Looking Glass, Keiki Capital, Greensoil PropTech Ventures, and others); you would be the fourth engineer and eighth team member. We are open to any applicant who lives in the US - you should be comfortable working in a fully distributed, remote-first company.

Senior Frontend Engineer (150-165k): We are looking for an experienced frontend engineer to develop customer-facing UX and workflows as well as improve our internal development processes. You should be fluent in the browser platform and common technologies; we use Typescript, Vue3, and Tailwind. You will need to work cross-functionally and interact with customers. As an early hire, this is an opportunity to be creative and have a big impact on the design and architecture of our web application.

Data Engineer (130-145k): We are looking for someone to help with the development of the ETL pipeline for the ingestion of electricity meter data and an array of other diverse datasets used in the measurement and verification of decarbonization programs. We are looking for help building out a pipeline that ingests and computes models using hourly meter data on the scale of millions of meters. Our ideal applicant is a python-first programmer who is also experienced in pandas. Work will also entail supporting data science related to measurement and verification. Previous experience with energy data is a plus.

What makes you a good fit for an early-stage company? How do you go about growing your tech skills?
CVPR submissions were two weeks ago.
If you qualify for the tax credit in the U.S., a standard Model 3 is just under $30k. You simply cannot buy a comparable new ICE car for $10k.
I think the fact that the best we can do is allege that the data is user reported, and further assume that users report this data accurately tells you everything you need to know.
The top 1% of households in the US starts around $10M. That sounds like a lot, but consider it includes retirement accounts, value of a home etc.

For a couple in that bracket at about retirement age (and who might own their home and be expecting to retire on their savings), those people might be looking at a household income of $300-400K per year.

I don't know, but it seems pretty unreasonable to start hitting them with an extra $120K tax bill annually.

This is again the basic point that the other poster was making.

You can solve the problem "easily" if there's political will for it.

You allow "golf cart" manufacturers to sell "golf carts" that are fully enclosed and meet some lower safety level because they're "limited" to 35 miles an hour, or classified as motorcycles, or whatever.

Then you "officially" prohibit them from freeways, but turn a blind eye to it, until it's so common, that you can relax the laws associated.
I recently heard about Skibidi Toilet being the latest sensation among teenagers and had a very old person "what is wrong with kids today" moment when I watched some, before remembering that 20 years ago my friends and I were all watching Salad Fingers, Sick Animation, Homestar Runner and other dumb flash cartoons on albinoblacksheep.com.
Uh, Convoy is on the list.

Depict | Full-stack Engineer and Site Reliability Engineer | Remote or Stockholm, Sweden
Depict (YC S20, http://depict.ai/) is building a merchandising platform for fashion e-commerce to make shopping a delight and store management a breeze. We serve hundreds of millions of requests every month to power category listings, recommendations and search on some of the largest e-commerce sites in Europe.

We’re now looking for

- Full-stack Engineer. You’ll help us build a visual merchandising tool that fashion merchants love to work with, working closely with our designers to create a delightful, pixel perfect user experience. We expect you to be great at TypeScript and React. Our backend is mostly written in Python, but we’ll help you learn if you aren’t fully comfortable yet.

- Site Reliability Engineer. You’ll help us build and maintain infrastructure to reliably serve thousands of RPS to power business-critical services. You’ll be our first dedicated SRE, so you’ll be leading the work to improve our setup so that we can move fast without breaking things. Some of our current stack is GCP, Kubernetes, Terraform, Loki, Prometheus and ArgoCD, but we’re open to change.

The roles aren’t yet up on our Careers page, but if it sounds interesting please reach out to me at john@depict.ai and I’ll be happy to tell you more! We hire remotely but require some overlap with CET, +-3 hours CET.
Hi medical software researcher / professor here. This is definitely a bad bug! I’d like to use it as a teaching example — any chance you could post a video of the bug? Especially one that shows how it sometimes takes the value correctly and sometimes changes it?
Is this at all usable on a CPU-only system with a ton of RAM?
The rise of Xi Jinping [video]
Traditional responses see that as either good (which I think is your implication) or terrible, a la "bread and circuses" where people are too complacent to demand any real changes. I would say that the "average person" is a tricky model, here in the US there are people sleeping on the sidewalk, but they have smartphones in their pockets. Are they better off than a Roman emperor? I would say no.
There are at least a couple vendors with self-contained liquid cooling systems, kind of like the “all-in-one” systems available for desktop and gaming use. I don’t know how effective they are.
Some of that blame should be pointed at those that proliferated frivolous and ridiculous research proposals.
> Browsers offer a level of isolation and safety that you generally don't get with native desktop apps.

They didn't originally: Java <applets> and ActiveX <objects> originally weren't sandboxed and had free run of the visitor's computer.

All major OSes today now have built-in support for process/app sandboxing. I suppose if the "rich client" frontend model (WPF, etc) was more popular then I expect desktop OS application isolation to have been introduced much sooner.

Security development happens where the market demands it, and rarely does it happen where it's actually needed.
Still doesn't explain how the EV is less reliable. OK, it's more expensive due to the battery, but surely no ICE at all should make it more reliable.
I find the idea strange that, if it were invaded, the United States would engage in conventional warfare. Wouldn't it escalate to nuclear pretty quickly?

You can't outbuild the US if your entire industrial base is irradiated within a few hours.
It would do more than "cut into profits", it would inflate repair and maintenance bills for your average person dramatically. For automobile servicing, labor costs are about 50% of the bill. Double salaries from $52k national average to $100k and everyone is now everyone is getting hit with 25% higher costs at the mechanic. That money has got to come from somewhere.

And for all the owner-operated mechanic garages out there, which is probably the majority of them, their profit IS the labor bill. "cutting into profits" while raising salary are literally opposite concepts.
This is going to sound like a real dumb reason to avoid a Tesla but it disappoints me that they don't have Android Auto or Apple CarPlay. I tried them in rental cars over the past year and now that's a must-have in my next car.
I was about to comment also that unison is an interesting approach, we need more tooling support before it can be possible, ideally there need to be a protocol that the new kind of editors can be built on top, similar to how LSP enabled editors to support different programming languages without a proprietary implementation.

I'm wondering if the unison devs already have plans on working on a protocol like that.
This (as well as close relatives of this) is still relatively common because we still don't have a great option for to have non-visible text that's screen-reader accessible in all cases.

aria-label and things like that have replaced some usages of this pattern but not all.
Maybe MeatCanyon[1], or Joe Cappa's stuff[2], could fall into the modern "YouTube weird" - but I think a lot of the particular "weird" vibe of the early days of the modern web is pretty much dead - or at least not mainstream enough for me to know about it. There was a much more amateur bent to a lot of the old viral flash stuff, which I think just wouldn't stand out today.

These two are a sort of new kind of weird - MeatCanyon is based largely around gross-out body horror parodies of pop culture, and Joe Cappa is ... I'm not sure what it is, but I love his stuff.

If you like either of these videos the rest of their work is well worth a look. Especially the Joe Cappa "Haha You Clowns" series is just the weirdest kind of hilarious.

Speak in metaphor and/or code.

I’ve been in mixed language communities in which I wasn’t sure who spoke what, and I have found this to be quite effective when done right.

Good time to reference st:ng “darmok” episode and quotes like “darmok and jalad at tanagra”.
The comment is arguing that if Meta were to change the rules, they could easily block such sideloading of APKs by pushing out a simple system update. I don't think they will given the backlash, but the possibility is there.
My point though is that yes space is literally expanding everywhere uniformly, it’s just expanding “through your fingers” (i.e. your fingers don’t expand along with it) because the local forces keep your fingers (and the planet and the galaxy) together.

This is roughly similar to how planets don’t collapse due to gravity, because the stronger electromagnetic repulsion makes them stable bodies, but this doesn’t mean that the gravitational field still isn’t there throughout the planet.

"Given a choice between hiring someone who learned on the side with no real world experience and hiring someone with real world experience - the latter wins."

Lol so I'm in a catch 22 and your precious advice does not apply.

In 1999, Tellme was using square servers from Dialogic, a vendor of PCI Telco cards.
Looks neat. Some obvious basic questions that I imagine most people would wonder:

1. Is it value based (C++, Rust, Go, TCL) or reference based (basically everything else).

2. How is memory freed? GC?

3. If GC how do you deal with the fact that Wasm GC is still in progress?

4. What about concurrency? Is it single threaded?

5. How does error handling work?

6. Does it support modern type features - Option<>, sum types, etc.

7. It's imperative, does that mean things that should be expressions (e.g. if/else) are statements?
Actual HTML title: "10 Weird HTML Hacks That Shaped The Internet"

I wasn't in the market for an F-150, but a minivan, and the EV minivan doesn't exist, the PHEV minivan is way higher priced than the regular one, and the hybrid minivan is nearly impossible to find.

So I have a boring standard one now.

The person you linked to is a plastic surgeon at UCLA. So I presume they get $300k for their role as an academic, and the $3M through clinical work.
I'm rather on the opposite end.

The real world is ugly and full of edge-cases and noise and ever-changing-requirements.

So encoding that, and keeping a solution elegant and "beautiful" is what I strive for.

Finding elegance in mathematically pure setups, is, I guess, very rewarding too for many. But not for me. I find pleasure in abstractions, algorithms and architecture that embraces the ugliness and inconsistency of "The Real World" to make it workable (over decades). I hardly ever manage in this though. Most code somehow still ends up in deeply nested if-elses-foreaches and whatnots.
In an odd way, I miss the time when web dev was so quirky and unpredictable. It was a never-ending process of experimentation, puzzle solving, discovery, and, once you figure out a hacky way to do something as basic as a 3-column layout, very gratifying.

I guess for me it was more of a creative outlet than just a job.
Firefox fought against WebSQL. Firefox then re-implemented indexedDB with SQLite on their own browser. Firefox has now largely faded into obscurity.
This list in inaccurate. Renaissance Technologies isn't even listed, and they offer very high TC. TGS Management offers way more than $500k for SWEs, I know one SWE makes $700k there.
The Chinese Room gag asserts that, although the room behaves in every way like it is an intelligent Chinese speaker, we can see inside the room and determine that there is nothing there that intelligently understands Chinese.

Searle seems to see a distinction between the "substrates" (which means an LLM cannot be intelligent; it's running on regular computer hardware and there's nothing to be found which "understands"), but unless someone can point out exactly what part of the substrate is intelligent, I am going to continue to suggest that his substrate difference is exactly identical to having a soul or not having a soul.

I, as a materialist, assert that, if you dug through my noggin down to the level of subatomic particles you will never find anything that is intelligent or which understands. (Quantum mechanics does not help here, by the way. It just replaces a (rather naive) determinism with randomness---see Bell's Inequality.) There is no magic going on there. You and your tree are both doing nothing but chemistry and physics (you share something like 50% of your genes, by the way). And that means that a computer could, in principle, behave as intelligently as I do. That's "substrate independence".

Now, whether a given system does do so or not is another question entirely. :-)
Yes, I know. But large swaths of swarm functionality live in tooling maintained by Docker Inc., and Docker employees seem to work on bits of code related to Swarm - sometimes. The separation between those entities is completely opaque. If Swarm is a Mirantis product, why does the Docker CLI, maintained by Docker on GitHub, contain code of that product? Who, if not the maintainers of these projects, should be contacted about that code?

Edit: Additionally, if anyone reads this, I actually spoke to Mirantis a while ago. Unless you're ready to pay five to six figures per year for a support contract, there's nothing they can do to alleviate your problems.

If Swarm mode would be deprecated ripped out of the Docker CLI and daemon, moved to a separate project under clear ownership of Mirantis and without any pretense of being "open source" software, it would be a different situation. But the way it is, nobody knows or understands what is happening, and Swarm mode crashes into the wall in slow motion.
Who were these "populist politicians" exactly? I don't remember any of them ever talking about university research.

It'd actually be great to have some politicians who ridicule frivolous academic research. It's not like there's a shortage of it especially in the humanities and social sciences (where there's no such thing as basic research anyway). Alas, their attentions are all elsewhere.
While I personally prefer more functional (non-oop) approaches, the example you show is positive to me.

If the functions are well named, you can read up to the "private" line and stop reading. You now know what this thing does, and you've not had to complicate your thought about HOW it does it. If you need to know how one of the primary actions is performed, you can jump to that source with a simple keypress. With some settings, you can simply hover to see the function expanded.

What's more, writing tests - 100% coverage - for this example is trivial and clean. If you want to put the actual lines all in the main function, your tests will be a lot uglier and will involve more lines of test code.
So, I am told -- and could be wrong -- that the subtle art of DJing requires many little tricks in tandem. Some are obvious, like similar tempos, similar "energy" (I have never heard a definition of this I could understand). Also, from one song to another, you're only supposed to move either major to minor, minor to major, or change just one letter. That's known as the Camelot method and it may be a lot of hot air.

Another trick I heard was taught in schools was "don't tickle me with a feather and then hit me with a brick."
Some organizations listen to their engineers/users too in the buy decision. Effective products do both - cater to management checklists, and cater to end user experiences.
I would argue that it’s both more and less harsh. The available light is probably better, but the astrophotography use case generally benefits from tripods and compensated or at least predictable movement of the subject. On the other hand, astrophotography needs to deal with atmospheric effects, and people aren’t usually taking night mode iPhone photos through the turbulent air above a flame.
