Schoolyear (Remote CEST±1) - we're a fast-growing start-up based in The Netherlands. Our aim is to simplify IT for educators, allowing them to focus on what truly matters: teaching.

We're looking for a backend engineer that loves to work in a small, fast-pace. We're looking for a new team mate that likes the challenge of building rock solid infrastructure, and also likes to build products that people like to use. At this role you can combine the two.
In our team we believe "boring" infrastructure is better infrastructure.

We're a tight team (11, 6 engineers) working from all over Europe, all with our own core skills. We work in 8 week development cycles (6 sprint, 2 cooldown) and we have strong technical leadership. We meet up 4 times a year in a team mate's city for an on-site week.

It reminds me of the old quote by Keynes:

A sound banker, alas, is not one who foresees danger and avoids it. But one who, when he is ruined, is ruined in a conventional and orthodox way with his fellows, so that no-one can really blame him
> It makes me immensely sad that people have so many misconceptions about Catholics.

I’d like to know if anything else about Catholics and the Catholic church makes you sad? And what do you believe are “misconceptions”?
In some important ways space is actually the least hostile environment. But yeah, it’s still amazing and has its own challenges.

Essentials of Compilation by Siek (Racket and Python versions available) are book-length treatments of that paper's topic.
The problem is that there always is some objection. Building out in a wilderness area will have environmental impact. Building in a farm area will have a huge impact on the local, formerly rural community. Building in a former industrial area might have cleanup issues. Projects don't have "enough" affordability, or are too dense, or don't match the local style, or will require more investment in public services.

There are many impacts. But collectively if all taken seriously, it means we can't build anything. Or the costs to build just get really high. And then we don't have enough housing and the housing we do have is either very costly or in undesirable areas.

Something must give, and it really might impose costs on locals. But the alternatives ensure housing scarcity and its many ills.
P/E is a ratio on earnings, not sales.

25 * $300B (revenue) = $7.5T, yes.

But that's using a P/S multiple, not P/E. Your math makes sense if you assume Nvidia will have 25x P/S... which historically is very high, and unlikely to be the "correct" multiple after all of that growth has already occurred. Unless you expect them to continue growing at same CAGR in perpetuity.

Also, very unlikely they will maintain that kind of market share if they reach those valuations. A relatively simple software solution to improve integration with AMD/Intel/TPU offerings that is worth trillions is a bit of a no brainer. It wasn't a financial prerogative until recently, so yes, all the competitor software here sucks, today.

Compute is fungible, despite what many say here. The cost differential between implementing good software support for AMD and paying Nvidia ~98% gross margin makes it kind of obvious.

A bull case could still see NVDA at a few trillion 5-10 years out... very unlikely it would go much beyond that. I fail to see any remotely rationally made, objective, case for it. At least not one that warrants investing in Nvidia today, at the current valuation, versus other opportunities

It can still be a multi-bagger in the short-term due to what looks like dotcom 2.0 enthusiasm.
> So, let’s welcome regulation that forces manufacturers to make things repairable (not necessarily by the final consumer) and hopefully a new crop of businesses whose mission is to build up the skills and knowledge to both repair and assess when a repair would be a waste of money and energy (in all forms) for the owner — because sometimes, it is, and it’s hard for most people to notice.

Just need to add recyclability to the qualities, then.
Socially, this is saying "hey everyone, watch TV instead of learning to make or repair".

Description: Engineering for 20 years, 10 years in leadership (including CTO of very high-growth start-up), while still building at work and/or on the side. Keep up to date with tech. Love helping build motivated teams. Product-driven, results-producing leader with track record of tangible outcomes and motivated teams. Took last year to do part-time consulting due to family health emergency (see other HN comments of mine), now getting back into the saddle after stabilizing my daughter's health (and what a time to reenter the market, whew). Open to your needs - fractional, consulting, full-time - all is on the table, and I'll consider any level, given the right mutual fit. I have a lot to bring, and always more to learn.

I don't see why you couldn't port an IDE to ipad os.. filesystem is a bit tricky with the way icloud files work.. but otherwise it's just a thing.

I think mostly people don't (for high end IDEs) because they expect a keyboard and pointing device that isn't a touchscreen and those are faily rare per ipads sold.

The ipad pro certainly is seeing some more beefy productivity apps it seems.
I pay for both Spotify and YouTube Premium. I'd love it if I could save money with just YT (which I mostly get to watch things like tutorials without commercials, and my wife watches a ton of vlogs), but it lacks a few things I use (like the ability for our Echo devices to "play {song}" via voice)

There's definitely some cool stuff here for sure, and I'm happy to see it getting better support.

CSS Nesting is a huge deal for example, since it's one of those features that kinda made SASS and LESS useful to begin with, and (like variables) was always better as a core CSS feature than a preprocessor one. Always super interested in seeing what can be done with custom properties too, since that feels like a lovely next step after things like Shadow DOM and custom elements.

And popover is surprisingly neat too. The fact you can do these popup modals and things without any JavaScript now is super useful, and something that should finally stop developers wasting time with custom modals, dropdown menus, hamburger buttons, etc.

But I do wish that forms got a bit more attention from projects like this. The current status of them (wildly inconsistent in different browsers for many HTML 5 era fields, reliant on proprietary pseudoclasses being styled for display purposes, things being difficult to customise in general) feels surprisingly archaic for a platform that can let you do seemingly anything.

< you might end up earning less after tax as a manager than you did as an engineer as your salary increase puts you in a new tax bracket

That's not how progressive taxation and the tax brackets work. In reality you pay higher tax rate only on the amount above the threshold. So if, say, the tax rate is 20% on the income up to $10000 and 30% above it then if you earn $30000 you pay 20% on the $10000 and 30% only on the remaining $20000. You don't pay 30% on the whole $30000. Why is this misconception is so common?

Apple also used NetBSD in (some?) of their AirPort devices: https://jcs.org/2018/06/12/airport_ssh

NetBSD is fun, but I don't really see the point of it. It just seems to live in the shadows, continuing to do it's thing, producing code and funky innovations, then disappear for years, but never pointing any developers in the spotlight. Debian of the BSD world.

> Element != the Matrix.org Foundation

Yes, I know, it's how this attempt to solicit donations works.

> I'm a little confused about your comment "AGPL for me, but not for thee." Can you unpack that a bit? Synapse is available under an AGPL license for _everyone_.

It's that Element wouldn't want to be able to use it under only the AGPL. That would be a nightmare. So it is for people who were interested in participating in the Matrix.org ecosystem because it purported to be vendor neutral. Now it is quite clearly no longer vendor neutral. There is no longer a server listed as stable that is available under a license that is acceptable to the owners of the repo as the sole license under which the owner may use it.

I'm drawing the equivalence of open-core Synapse to open-core Matrix. I think this is reasonable, based on the position of Synapse in Matrix ecosystem. I get what you're saying, I just don't happen to see it that way, as someone who has watched Matrix/Element over the last few years. Feel free to show me evidence of decoupling that I may have missed.

Netflix uses FreeBSD for their content servers. They're one of the major contributors to the FreeBSD project, focused particularly on network (eg: kernel-level TLS acceleration) and UFS subsystems.
Although, according to the link, not because there's anything wrong with it, but because other changes they want to make to the filesystem code would risk breaking soft updates.

The gist is that violent crime has been falling internationally- so things like increased wealth or even the freakonomics idea of abortion, just don’t fit all countries

But female participation does, women going out drinking tends to decrease the violent male out playing.

The crimes that are increasing are crimes against women - one more indicator

Fascinating
A Honda Civic is 2900-3100 lbs. A Honda CR-V is 3500-3600 lbs. That weight difference will not make much difference in a collision with a cyclist or pedestrian.

Even if they went with something heavier like a Tesla Model 3 (3900-4000 lbs) or a Tesla Model Y (4200-4400 lbs) or a Ford F-150 (4700 lbs) it would still not make much difference.

Yes, at a given speed a heavier vehicle will have more momentum and more kinetic energy than a lighter vehicle of the same shape, but momentum and kinetic energy aren't as directly correlated with how much a collision hurts a pedestrian as many here seem to think they are.

Once the vehicle is sufficiently more massive than the pedestrian that the collision causes very little change in the vehicle velocity a heavier vehicle at the same velocity is not really going to hurt the pedestrian more in the collision itself.

E.g., a large freight train hitting you at a slow walking pace is not going to be worse than a small car hitting you at the same speed, even though the train has way more momentum and kinetic energy. Speed that car up to highway speed and then it will greatly injure you even though it still will have much less momentum and kinetic energy than the slow train.

Much more important is the shape of the vehicle. Besides affecting what injuries are incurred from the collision itself it can affect what happens after. A shape that knocks the pedestrian away is probably safer than one that tends to draw the pedestrian to under the car where they get run over.
This is not true.

For example A Software Engineer can earn 90K while an Engineering Manager can earn 85K at a different company.

Aleph | Remote - US or LATAM | getaleph.com/careers

Open positions: Head of Product Marketing, Software Engineer

Aleph is redefining the world of Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A). We operate in a well-defined software category with a multi-billion TAM yet a lack of a clear winner. We’re here to change that, and our early results speak for themselves.

We’re backed by top VCs (Bain Capital Ventures, Khosla Ventures, YC, Picus Capital), and work with customers like Turo, Notion, Zapier, and others.

What we’ve built so far is the most seamless way to centralize all of a company's financial data – think expenses from Quickbooks or Netsuite, pipeline forecasts from Salesforce – and bring it into the tools finance teams are already using. But the vision goes way beyond that. We’re building the source of truth for a business’ data, and ultimately the platform businesses use to make better decisions.

We’re way ahead of schedule due to our unique approach, with no churn and rapid growth despite no marketing spend to date.
