Sidekick Money | Full REMOTE (UK) | Multiple Roles | Full-Time | ~ £100k + Stock options | https://sidekickmoney.com

We're an early stage fintech startup working to bring elite wealth building and management facilities to a wider audience, that have up until now only been available to the top 0.1%, (think portfolio line of credit, investing into alternatives). Last year we were authorised by the FCA and subsequently rolled out the initial product to a few founding members just a few weeks ago. We're now beginning to gather customer insights from this initial launch and are evolving the product rapidly. There's a ton of product to be built and we're looking for brilliant minds to build it with us.

We have multiple positions available:

* Infrastructure Engineers (Terraform, AWS, Cloudflare)
* Backend Engineers (Python, Temporal, DynamoDB, S3)

We're looking for people who are not afraid to jump into a very deep business domain and work in a highly regulated environment.

Send your CV over at https://sidekickmoney.homerun.co/open-application/en/apply and we'll be in touch.
Joe Armstrong, one of the inventors of Erlang, seems to agree on your last point. He said: "Make it work, then make it beautiful, then if you really, really have to, make it fast." I think "make it right" is often a moving target in software development (depending on how you're looking at it).
The US has had territorial wars with both Canada and Mexico.
Complexity is a signal of attempted fairness, selective corruption, or bureaucratic survival, stochastically mixed to conceal the latter 2.

Canadian and US governments have enough information to calculate taxes for you, but choose instead to impose all manner of additional complexity, cost, and time sink on taxpayers of varying degrees of sophistication because it's tradition. Norway has prepared statements automatically for taxpayers for 20+ years.
I subscribed to Peacock for a while to catch Premier League soccer and have greatly enjoyed other international sports like the Rugby World Cup. I think it's the best deal in sports programming, particularly compared to MLS on Apple TV.

I've been on a sports photography kick these days though and when I go to a game on Friday and maybe two games on Saturday and spend Sunday with Lightroom and DxO I'm not so inclined to roll out of bed to watch an Arsenal game so I'm not sure if I really need to keep Peacock.
I'm currently focusing more on product design. Coding was for now not my main focus, this is something I'm starting to learn.

I am not and have never been on Twitter so I can't speak for what's happening on the platform but the places I frequent that post news that's broken on Twitter haven't stopped doing that so, at the very least, influential people are still breaking news there at the same place.

I can't help but think that the people leaving Twitter meme is wishful thinking by people who dislike Musk.
I think you miss the point of putting something aside.

It doesn't mean you have to ignore it or say it doesn't exist.

You can ask what else can be said about X besides the given topic that you are putting aside.
It’s just in my email account. I’ve had the same email address on my own domain since 1996.

Changed providers a few times, but I’ve always migrated the archive over.
You're avoiding the question :-)
I don’t think that’s specific to software.

After all the phrase ‘there’s nothing so permanent as a temporary repair’ comes from construction.

I think the difference is rules and licensing were created around physical repairs and construction because of the human tendency to ‘good enough’ it.

And to be fair software that has the same safety importance as bridge sturcutural calculations does have a level of scrutiny around it commensurate with its importance, see NASA and their caution and flight / avionics software for aircraft etc.
6 eur/month. It's the most basic offering. I don't really need power for what I'm doing. Running tests locally took a bit longer than I had been used to, but just a bit. I'm pretty used to underpowered environments though. I find that underpowering is a good way to enforce a sort of hygiene in terms of what you do and how.
The cost to make might justify the price, but does the price justify the value add?
Interestingly, she didn't just earn tenure, she did so on a super fast track. She arrived at Stanford in 2000 and was tenured by 2005. [1] That means they put her up for tenure during the 2004-05 academic year. Normally tenure takes about 7 years, and about 50% of Stanford professors who make it to 7 years get tenure. Getting tenure in 6 is a little fast. Getting it in 5 is very uncommon. Getting it in 5 without any monographs (solo authored books) is pretty much unheard of.

My guess is that she had an outside offer (probably Harvard or Yale) and that pressured Stanford to put her up for tenure. I can't imagine an assistant prof with zero books published going to her department after 4 years and asking to be put up for tenure.

Of course it has. It's the basis for most of the alternative notation systems. The shape note systems of Sacred Harp are based on moveable do, for instance, and they were very successful in promoting music literacy in their culture for a good 100 years.

Chinese notation is also moveable do. So is Roverud's cipher notation which I mentioned above (I think it has a common root with the Chinese one). So is the Kodály method. All these systems have been really successful in teaching where they were applied, but they always fall for the push to graduate to the "real" notation system.

Been coding/doing web design since I was a kid (11-12 years old,) been working in the industry at various startups for a decade (2 YC backed.) Have done everything from web apps in LAMP to currently using NextJS/Postgres, also done quite a bit of non-web app work such as building daemons to pull market prices and writing distributed systems to perform web scraping and run simple statistics. Just looking for a new role to start fresh in the new year.
100% agree on the tooling issues. WebStorm does its best, but it leaves something to be desired. CSS modules are the only way to get around some of Svelte's scoped style gotchas without needing to ship a runtime (e.g. Emotion). So I play through the pain.

Hypertune (https://www.hypertune.com) | ONSITE (London) | Senior Product Engineer

We're building the most flexible and developer-friendly platform for feature flags, A/B testing and "application configuration". See https://docs.hypertune.com for more details.

At the core of Hypertune is a visual, functional, statically-typed programming language with first-class citizens for analytics, A/B testing and machine learning.

Our UI lets users define their configuration logic in this language and our SDKs act as interpreters, evaluating the logic locally on clients with zero network latency.

As a senior product engineer, you'll work mainly in React and TypeScript to craft a beautiful product that delights our users.

If you're interested, please email miraan at hypertune dot com with your LinkedIn, CV or a link to a project you've built.
In what role, other than sales, does that make sense? Same exact job title - I'm aware of jr / normal / sr / lead, etc role differences.
Great so I am not crazy. I read this and I coulve sworn I had seen this before. This is so similar to the last incident its weird. Are popular projects like Curl just going to have constant LLM written incidents opened against them as people try and get some line items on their resume?
It doesn't have to be precisely true, for all practical matters.
This sounds like an under-exploited business opportunity for Canadian staffing and consulting companies. Where there is difficulty for some, there is defensibility for others.
Most plan 9 users have no desire to ever see a major browser ported. Ever. The best we have is netsurf and works for 90% of what people need which is simply viewing static text, information.

The why is simple: We can run Linux or BSD in a VM and run a browser in there. Besides, the goals of most users is to explore new and exciting ways to share information that doesn't require the efforts of a billion dollar commercial entity with an army of programmers.

The people who come to plan 9 don't come to it because it runs chrome or steam. We're here because we like the architecture. There's so much more work to do and things to explore. Complaining something doesn't work means you're not really interested in OS design so that's fine, just move along and find what you want. That or patches welcome.

No, never been to SF, I have no idea how people drive there or what the conditions are. Except that they're very different from where I drive (except when I'm in the town centre) - roads without sidewalks, mostly no signal lights, snow a large part of the year, and other special conditions.
I'm trying to put my finger on why this pisses me off so much.

Maybe because I'm guessing (I could be wrong) that this is an utterly selfish act, damaging to the common good, on the part of whoever submitted the CVE. I.e., it's like vandalizing a Habitat for Humanity office.
I've seen people file cve requests 20 years ago with the output of "grep strcpy" as the entire report. All an llm bought to this modern version is the apologising, arguing and hallucinated code sample.
In particular, the DOM came years later. Early JS just had document.write() which was not very powerful by today's standards.
Most people use their phone in portrait mode.

If it were Landscape Only, it would create unnecessary friction.
all that follows is 2018 experience from updating a crud winforms to wpf.

WPF sucks. whether its dead or alive is irrelevant, because using it is so painful.

the documentation is trash. buying a random book to read the same 7 intro chapters on .net and mvvm and data binding is trash. the sdk examples are trash. its essentially impossible to do anything without visual studio.

i dont even know why i would want to use it outside of a legacy windows app? like why not just use electron

Is "line up and wait" really the new approved terminology? Way back when I was a PP student, it was "taxi into position runway XX and hold. Acknowledge hold."

Line up and wait sounds like something you tell preschoolers to do :-)
I was thinking something that would make the union pipeline go a little smoother. You would have a social network so that verified employees at a company can talk to one another without fear of retribution that could match them up with representatives of other unions or provide help in creating their own. Maybe have anonymized income sharing and comparisons to other union/non-union shops.

Pretty much democratizing the information networks that employers are already using to exert power over workers. A counter to the wage setting schemes and various databases that employers have already created.
I have a friend who had 400+ guests and 50+ tables. But they paid by the table, so saving whole tables would have saved lots of money. And friend stayed up all night before wedding stressing about who to put where.
Survey spikes are common worldwide. The issue is that they are not always where you think they would be. They are positioned relative to each other, were placed years ago, or moved by unscrupulous land owners. And until relatively recently it was all done by one person using an optical device looking at another person standing there with a colored stick.

Surveyors are often called to resolve any discrepancies during disputes or sales.
Git is one of the worst interfaces possible. The underlying implementation is fine, but far too much of the plumbing is visible as porcelain.

Mercurial has about as intuitive an interface as is possible IMO. There's still all the intrinsic complexity of distributed version control, but the verbs are meaningful and if I don't know how to do something, knowing the verb is sufficient to use the built-in help to learn how to do the thing I want to do.

The concept of branches as the entire DAG and not just a commit also better matches how I've seen version control workflows be used in practice across multiple teams and companies. Add in rewriteable history, like what Git allows or Evolve enables, and you're golden.
You already have that time. You don't "get it back". You already do as you please. What you please is to work for money to keep up with the Jones's and other people's expectations. (Some) other people don't do that - they live as homeless, as itinerants, as wanderers, as beggars, as monks and nuns and religious devotees, as self-employed contractors, as nomads, as freegans, as thieves and criminals, as trophy husbands and wives, as gypsys, as communal farm members trading piecework for food and board.

And yes, you choose the live you live because you want warmth and shelter and dental plans and good food and a laptop and a pension, and you reasonably think those things are better - but that's not someone taking your life, that's a choice, your choice.

And when you put it like that, "live in a tent and eat scraps so I can have 16 hours a day to myself" doesn't sound so "absolutely amazing" anymore, does it?
While the paranoia of the cold war was certainly terrifying and its sure that we narrowly avoided nuclear strikes several times. MAD stayed the hands of the megalomaniacs capable of pulling the trigger and fortunately it seems we are at a point where such paranoia is no longer quite so prevalent in society.
I'm a tech reporter. Can I still post my baby's picture responsibly?
I purchased replacement mounts for a couple shades from this site less than a month ago. The blind was "MyBlinds by Hunter Douglas" from Home Depot, purchased in 2019, but that branding seemed long gone. Luckily I was able to dig up the installation instructions, figure out the shape, then FixMyBlinds had enough info for me to get my shades up.

Interestingly, FixMyBlinds had Bali, not Hunter Douglas as the manufacturer of the shade. I think (can't recall exactly), that Hunter Dougles, Levolor, and Bali may all be part of the same company these days.

What was your background? Did you transition from another career? Are you working now as a UX designer?
On iOS install ReadKit which can interact with a very nice interface to FreshRSS. I self-host FreshRSS and it works perfectly, syncing with the server so when I go to the computer, it is up-to-date with what I have opened. I do not know if ReadKit is on Android.
Moisture in machines can be a very expensive issue.

There isn't a set guide to this. The idea is that you want people to view you as a loss in teams ability to get things done if you were ever to leave, but not in the sense of raw hours worked but the knowledge and decision making process.
It's important to remember that the true ideological goal of the free culture movement is the four freedoms. Licenses are just the means to that end. So of course we would bring up ideological arguments and differenciate between restrictions that move us closer to the goal, and restrictions that do not, because that is the whole point.
So obscure that in a field as important as optimization we still think in terms of „escaping from local minima“. Also (as a total outsider) the progress in general optimization algorithms/implementations appears to be very slow (I was shocked how old ipopt is). I was wondering if all the low hanging inductive biases (for real world problems) have already been exploited or if we just have no good ways of expressing them? Maybe learning them from data in a fuzzy way might work?
So do I. There was a guy in Western Australia selling pre-made ones with a choice of different connectors and charging capabilities.

Carl Zeiss SMT/SMS | Jena/Oberkochen/Rossdorf & remote, Germany | Multiple Roles | Full-Time | Hybrid (some onsite required) | English, some German very helpful | https://www.zeiss.de/semiconductor-manufacturing-technology/...

Zeiss SMT is the leader in extreme engineering optics for semiconductor manufacturing. We come up every so often on HN as leaders in EUV optics manufacturing for ASML scanners. SMS is a branch of SMT concerned with standalone tooling for quality assurance and defect inspection in semiconductor fabs (tools like the AIMS EUV or PROVE systems, for example). We bring complete solutions to the hypercompetitive market that is the semiconductor industry. The scale is vast – the work you can be involved in ranges from simulations at the nanometer to how to ship tools via using Boeing 747(s).

Software (and extremely diligent/precise engineering… honestly it blows my mind regularly) underpins everything we do and spans the same vastness of scale. We (Zeiss SMT, but also SMS where I work) are hiring in pretty much every IT field as we modernize systems, upgrade legacy code, and build cutting-edge new tools and platforms to remain at the front of the field. Specifically interesting to HN (I think) is my team, which works on developing extremely fast physics simulation and data processing code utilizing classical algorithms, machine learning, and _AI_, all on premise. We also build and maintain the hardware (HPC clusters) to enable these developments.

Desirable skills
Python (scientific, HPC, ML, physics simulation), image analysis (big, big data processing, very fast), CUDA, C++, HPC architecture design/on premise rack configuration, HPC admin, DevOps infrastructure (physical as well as CI/CD), GPGPU programming, FPGA programming, QA engineering, Kubernetes

I can post some job links tomorrow, but if you have questions please either comment or reach out to me at thomas dot pekin at zeiss dot com. I’ve been working here for a year and it’s a lot of fun.

But outside of the small percentage of technical people who know how inefficient e.g. Discord and Slack are, and how you could replace these applications that take 800MB of RAM each with something that took less than 50MB if they weren't using Electron... nobody cares. If people did care, you'd have someone writing a highly optimized chat/voip app from the ground up in Rust and native code for the mobile versions and people switching en masse. But it just hasn't happened, because for 99.999% of the world, they're good enough.
Requirements for the Seating Chart Optimizer I made for planning my wedding party:

* 120 guests: 49 couples and 22 singles

* To be seated at 11-ish tables of 8, 10, 12 people each (by combining 4- and 6-person tables)

* Couples must be seated at the same table

* Plan only needs to say which guests sit at which tables - individual placement at the table will be decided just-in-time by the people putting the name cards down on the day

* It's hard for me to give labels to the guests to give you an idea of who can form a nice table and who can't. It's like, complicated, but I know a good table when I see one.

I made a spreadsheet-based app [1] where I first entered couples and singles into rows and then left blank rows as table separators. On the blank rows I put a "table capacity" number (8, 10 or 12), and on the guest rows I put a formula to compute "remaining table capacity", using conditional formatting to highlight tables where there are too many guests and tables where there are still seats available. By dragging rows around I can quickly rearrange the plan, and the spreadsheet doesn't do much except tell me where the plan is currently "broken" due to overfull tables.

If I compare my requirements with the Better Seater interface, what I'm missing is a way to keep couples together always - I don't want to make a new "group" name for each couple and I don't want to drag twice to move a couple. I haven't tried it with 120 guests, but I'm curious what sort of guestlist size you're aiming for.

Omnigres | Founding Engineer | SF Bay Area HQ | REMOTE

At Omnigres, our north star is to enable developers to laser-focus on business needs instead of fighting technological challenges.
We're fighting the complexity and inefficiencies of contemporary stacks by removing them instead of hiding them.

At the core, we are turning Postgres into an Application Runtime. Why? Because we believe that code and data are inseparable in pretty much all of the line-of-business application systems. Turns out, when done this way, applications work a lot faster, require a lot less maintenance, and are simply easier to write.

Our foundation is open source and is available at https://github.com/omnigres/omnigres

We're backed by some great early-stage VCs and looking to onboard people who can move quickly, learn on the go, and maintain the focus on the goals. Another way to look at it is that we want to meet other pragmatic idealists.

> The demand is far from insatiable, the linked site shows the number of new emoji per year has decreased dramatically, and most of the new ones are encoded with ZWJ sequences that don't really require new unicode codepoints.

You're comparing demand with supply, which are not the same. In any case, the blog post is somewhat misleading, because the 2023 additions produce endless varieties of human "representation", and everyone wants to be represented in emoji. And everyone wants their food to be represented in emoji. Basically, everyone wants every object in the world to be represented in emoji.

It's also misleading to say that most of the new ones don't really require new unicode codepoints, because the new sequences depend on the new codepoints, otherwise they would be preexisting emoji, not 2023 additions.
Probably. Eventually it might even make sense to accept some of the edits so that the auto-sniffers generating them stop complaining (not unlike making changes to working code that make a linter happy).
