Ask HN: How to Find Clients?
I work for a company that has acquired several products as a business strategy. The products are softwares.

These softwares have lot in common, the company is classified into product teams to support these products. The product team have individual design team, engineering team.

The company is undergoing reorg to bring these platform under one engineering because having multiple engineering has cost to it.

These products are heavy on UI. I have a niche skill, that I can refactor, architect plan to reduce code into configuration into a drag and drop builder, both automated as well as I can direct some other juniors to do it manually.

Looks like I see full picture, unfortunately the strategy in the org does not reflect in the doers in the engineering and they are Introducing tech debts and it's a chaos.

I applied for a lead technical architect role for the unified platform but I got rejected due to finance reason, that's what I was told by my boss boss.

Looks like I'm the only one with clear picture and I'm connecting the dots of different team's involvement in this activity. Every other team are blindly obeying orders and not suggesting anything back.

One: I have realised I'm in wrong role. I'm senior software engineer. I'm not sure whymat the right role is.

Two: I want to find clients to sell myself and my skill. I'm new to this, if you have done it, how to take my first step?

What's my skill? UI, built Design to readable code tool concept, audit engineering departments.

I have been working for 11 years, in other words it took me 11 years to believe in myself.

They're already very good at it—I myself have been using OR-Tools's CP-SAT solver for a large bin packing problem at work (via https://github.com/ankane/or-tools-ruby) & Chat-GPT was a big help working out the details of some of the constraints and objectives.
Creating My Own Linux-Based Smart TV
I mean you can get one for 50$ on ebay with similar ram and hd, just with a 6700 or 8700 which is more than enough for a NAS lol
Yes computer savvyness is on the rise, and have been for decades, and this will continue. But there are many levels: Ability to be a competent user, and competent buyer, ability to build it themselves. Then there are big difference in buy vs build culture. And preferences for type of solutions that are default buy vs default build. And finally, smaller and medium sized organizations are less likely to have internal teams. All this should be analyzed for the specific market, product and customer segment one targets.
> JRuby funding at Red Hat would conclude.

Sorry to hear, I never used Ruby but never heard a bad thing about it.

This is exactly what this IBM does a few years after buying a company, they have been doing that for close to 25 years. They should trademark that activity. So, if any other Open Source Projects were being supported in this way, they should start getting prepared :(
First list all the categories/subcategories URLs for the domain you want to target(you'll probably need to do it for each country), pretty straightforward.

Then find how the pagination works, usually it's a get number parameter or a cursor in the URL.

Some websites will have a limited number of results on the same search, so you'll need to tinker with the faceted search, it's a "simple" loop, for example:

for (i in categories)

for (j in price_ranges)

for (k in price_ranges.pages[j])

get_products_on_the_page()
No, why would you assume that? I mean diplomatically like publically saying if Russia invades then The US and UK will close and defend the airspace as their commitment to the Budapest agreement, while moving some forces around the area. Russia wouldn't have dared if the west had made moves they believed.
A couple interesting points here. One is the supposition that something which is more “justified” is better. We humans do a lot of things which cannot be justified and are good, so this seems an odd position to me.

The other is that “something more free” is coupled with something “more just”, and that that is also better than something which is less justified. The implication here would be that adding more freedom is always more just than something “unjustified”. I don’t think this logically holds, either.
There are multiple kinds of carbohydrate and the differences can matter.

Gatorade’s ingredients list shows sucrose (glucose+fructose) and dextrose (glucose).

Maltodextrin is isotonic in a 6x stronger solution than fructose and glucose. This means you need to drink meaningfully less water during a race to digest maltodextrin. So do we want all maltodextrin? Nope! Fructose can be absorbed by a separate pathway, which is less efficient, but increases your total intake of carbohydrates into the bloodstream.

So you’re probably not going to see Tour de France teams giving their riders Gatorade. You want more maltodextrin and less glucose.

It's Hard to Make Rules Now
austerity sure seems to be working well.
Yeah, I bought a huge bulk pack online, and then it was okay. But when you need a couple a week it quickly adds up in cost. Same with bars, which I sometimes prefer over gels for longer rides to not just have gels in my stomach. I've tried to bake some bars myself, or make some rice cakes from Velochef ( https://www.rouleur.cc/blogs/desire-journal/velochef-henrik-... ) instead.

I had to pull my company's most recent posts from our socials, LinkedIn was the only one where I gave up. LinkedIn was the only company that wanted a privacy policy, and also made you apply to gain access to the API.
the most recent fail involved YAML anchors (the ampersand syntax). i had a vague idea that you might be able to extend an anchor elsewhere in the file (like "abc " + &anchor). claude dreamed up three ways to do it, all three were hallucinated nonsense. when i said they didn't work, i get the classic "YAML doesn't support string concatenation in the way I suggested. My previous examples were incorrect."

any time i've saved via claude or chatgpt is dwarfed by the time they have wasted.
That link doesn't work at the present time.

And the main article doesn't show any interesting parts of the image on mobile; just the left side with a lot of white space and some words that I cannot read.

Can't scroll to the right. Can't zoom out. Can't long-press and open the image separately.

tl;dr, can't see shit.

I did not mean negotiation. Diplomatically can be showing force but not using it. Like publically saying if Russia invades then The US and UK will close and defend the airspace as their commitment to the Budapest agreement, while moving some forces around the area. Russia wouldn't have dared if the west had made moves they believed.
Context is important:

> “With zero hours of working hours time zone overlap for much of the year, we faced difficulties in collaboration, leading to delays in decision-making and project execution,” Jenkins wrote. “The need for out-of-hours meetings on both sides was impacting everyone’s productivity and work-life balance.”

> Product development and marketing activities for Fastmail will now be Melbourne-based.

> “Fortunately, we were able to negotiate for a much better severance package than we would have gotten had we not unionized when we did,” the post read. “We are grateful for the work that the Communication Workers of America put in on our behalf to get us the best deal they could.”

> Still, Fastmail appears to be hiring for tech roles in Philly. It posted a senior systems administrator job last week, which Jenkins said in his note would be a union role. The union will continue to negotiate a contract for the remaining bargaining unit employees.

(Fastmail customer, good luck to those they are parting ways with, still a strong supporter of them being unionized)
Strictly speaking I don't think ZFS itself does, but it is very common for distros to ship a cronjob that runs `zpool scrub` on a schedule (often but not always default enabled).
I think of kowloon as a preview to the hyperdense cities of the future in a way.
Acrologies would be a more workable vision of hyperdense cities, as you also need green spaces rather than just a bigger version of dense concrete jungles that is defacto state of many cities.

Right now, space is criminally underused in cities or allocated so inefficiently that we don't really need acrologies yet. We can get more green in cities and making these places more pleasant and human space to live.

Highlights: Hi, experienced Technical Business Analyst and QA Lead with over 15+ years of experience in software development. I like to pull things apart and ensure they work as they are supposed to and if they are going to fail - they do so gracefully! I am on the lookout for part-time or full-time role. Past industries include Ground Transportation (B2B-B2C and SaaS), startup Fintech Cloud Accounting. Please reach out for a chat to know more.
I don't know, if I know it floods every year, and there is a really big flood, I don't think I would act like the flood was something completely out of the blue. I would probably mention how it was much bigger than the normal floods.

For that reason, I think an event completely different from the yearly flooding is more likely, for example the Minoan eruption or Black Sea deluge hypothesis.

Also there was too much discussion of his background before getting around to the topic at hand. A little detail might have been interesting, but it felt padded out.
I touch Theta param in the left part of it, and the sound disappears, all the numbers go mad into infinity and then become NaN. Also there's no sound if none is selected in controls, but changing anything in controls makes the same effect -- all params spiral into infinity. Not fun.
This is a small group within Google doing experiments, they are probably trying a different approach after the MusicFX app experiencing heavy usage and needing to limit users. They didn't have a way to supply your own API key for that one

Yes, absolutely. Though in JavaScript we often make do with the safe integer range. (I don’t know how fast BigInt is for 64 bit integers.)
I like the use of CUE in this repo, they seem to be using it for different purposes, interesting.
Linear is pretty great. They have a lot of more advanced features but the core interface is nice and clean. I like their project view with a nice graph of completed/remaining that gives a nice sense of whether the scope is still expanding or if you're on the other side of the hill and cruising towards complete.
I haven't been into lucid dreaming for a while, but I used to use a technique called SSILD that worked great for me. Search for that name and you'll find discussions about it. You basically cycle between (with your eyes shut) "do I see anything abnormal?", "do I hear anything abnormal?" and "do I feel anything abnormal?" and just keep cycling between those, trying not to actually think about them too hard as you are falling asleep. If you're lucky, you'll end up transitioning into a dream straight from waking consciousness (wake induced lucid dream or WILD technique) or, failing that, you will fall asleep and have a much better chance or realizing you are dreaming (dream induced lucid dream or DILD), and failing that if you wake up in the middle of the night you can stay awake for a short while and then go back to sleep and have a good chance to fall into a dream you can become awake in (wake back to bed or WBTB) and if you do end up having a lucid dream and you wake up if you stay still you might just fall back into it (dream exit induced lucid dream or DEILD).

I had quite a few lucid dreams using this technique, but it has a drawback that you end up having "false awakenings" where you think you just woke up but are actually still dreaming. I've had 7 or 8 of those in a row before. If you have a good reality test (my go-to was holding my nose closed and seeing if breathing lightly would still work) then they are kind of nice because now you have just become lucid again and go do whatever you want.

The whole thing got to be too mentally exhausting for me and I was not feeling refreshed when I woke up so I stopped doing it. I occasionally try to start it up again, but I haven't had the gumption to continue it for very long.

As you can see, there is a huge rabbit hole you can fall down if you look into this stuff, and a lot of places on the internet where people discuss it or give pointers.

Also different people have better luck with different techniques. This one just happened to be my thing, I guess.
> that is outdated advice. for one, some people sweat more than others, the salt levels in the sweat is totally different too.

People forget that. They just follow "salt is killing you" advice, meanwhile I sweat salt like it's water. Last race I did had the sense to add salty potato chips to their rest stops... I didn't cramp up.

Meanwhile Gatorade is absolute trash for electrolyte maintenance for someone like myself.
Ah the crossing the river puzzle, got that during my campus interviews.
Chomsky's first article, which he wrote when he was 10 was about the Spanish Civil War, he was reporting that Texaco the oil company was supplying the nationalists with oil, despite their being an official embargo, and the US government knew about it.
>Then there's the case of "we think we finally hit bedrock...but what if it's just a big boulder?"

Doesn't matter.

There's two types of pile support: noncohesive and cohesive. Which can be thought of as end (bearing) resistance and side (friction) resistance.

Most people only think of end resistance.

Most end resistance piles aren't driven to bedrock or even a boulder, but a strata of soil with sufficient strength. Usually a layer of sand under silt or clay, but a boulder could do it.

Here's the catch- if it's a one-off, then adjacent piles won't hit it, and you'll see the anomaly. Mitigation may or may not be required. If it's not, then you've hit a strong (noncohesive) layer of boulders.

Either way- it goes back to the point: each pile is resistance tested. And you know now not only the insitu soil strength, but also that of each layer to reach that depth.

Also side note- the act of driving and then post-drive settling both build addl strength. Eg, The force used to drive the pile, applied a few months later, usually won't be sufficient to drive it any further.

Powdered sugar is 50/50 fructose and glucose, a close to perfect ratio for absorption. A dash of Gatorade powder for taste and you got yourself a drink that's inexpensive and gets you all the carbs you need.

I also needed to implement a barrier to prevent some 15 year old from blatantly looking up other people's information. A small payment barrier seems like a good first hurdle.

> unimportant things like 12-step programs

Hundreds of millions of people have participated in programs like this.

That's a lot of people to experience first-hand how it's possible to accomplish good things through decentralization, voluntary association, lack of hierarchy, mutual aid and community-driven governance.

That doesn't seem "unimportant" to me, but perhaps it would be easier to see the effectiveness of anarchist principles at work in a different domain, such as open-source software development.

A Short Rant on the Current State of Computing
Looking at the OpenWrt forum, work is coming along nicely w.r.t supporting FasterThan1G on RTL9X. Many/Most configurations seem to be working.

RTL8X is AFAIC done, feature-complete. https://svanheule.net/switches/

POE on those devices is mostly two types: Broadcom (well supported), and Realteks inhouse solution, which uses a 'dialect' of the Broadcom protocol. There is a git branch/PR, where the 'dialect' differences have been moved to individual modules. But it's not released yet. https://github.com/Hurricos/realtek-poe/pull/35

Unfortunately, there seem to be hard problems migrating up from Linux 5.15 to 6.1 or 6.6.
This is a bunch of downsides, but I guess I'm asking, does anyone intelligent think that given the alternatives, on balance, it's better to not do them? You seem quite against them - what would you propose as a concrete alternative and what would the result likely be?
That is pretty cool, and I wish such features were common in regular UNIX shells.

For good measure, this is how you might do the same with jb:

$ jb Hello=world array:number[]@<(seq 10) object:json@<(date=$(date -Iseconds) jb @date)
{"Hello":"world","array":[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10],"object":{"date":"2024-07-03T19:26:36+00:00"}}

Alternatively, using the :{} object entry syntax:

jb Hello=world array:number[]@<(seq 10) object:{}=date=$(date -Iseconds)
{"Hello":"world","array":[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10],"object":{"date":"2024-07-03T19:30:26+00:00"}}

IIR, close US/UK cooperation on nuclear research ended when WWII did, and the UK found itself recast as a junior bottle-washer. There likely was a whole lot of national pride behind that budgetary decision.

The issue is in the discourse that's leveled against the average person. Its not scientific or data centric, its tribalistic and designed to appeal to emotion over rational logic. As you note, there are smart people who can take all the existing information about the world, read up on political theories and make their own conclusions from available evidence and data. These rationalists are not most people, unfortunately.

Others don't learn such critical thinking and research skills. These people act very much like humans have acted for a millennia, appealing to their trusted shaman or chief as the source of truth rather than a careful, individual assessment of the available evidence. They think in terms of emotion.

Then there is a third group of people who are aware of both groups of people. They use the rational people to research actionable data, and use the science of propaganda to convince the emotional masses to support whatever is useful for this third group in terms of amassing more resources, or more power to later amass more resources.

I'm not sure how we get out of this rut as a species to be honest. As the famous quote goes, you can't rationalize someone out of a perspective they didn't rationalize themselves into.

Mineral's rover really appeared to be a solution looking for a problem. Why do you need a giant, expensive vehicle to slowly roll through your fields and see how the crops are doing when you could fly over it with a $700 drone and just look at the video?

Most of the rest of the $3T+ market you can see just fine from the air or even one of the many competitors offering satellite crop imagery. The rover doesn't even do anything in the field, unlike for example the LaserWeeder implement.

By this definition virtually every political system could be argued to be compatible with "anarchism". Dante justified the authority of the church. Hobbes justified the rule of the king. People all across the centre of the political spectrum - and further right from that - are happy to justify state monopoly on violence with the need to enforce rules. Justifying various kinds of authority has been the work of political philosophers for millennia.
