Office Hours | Senior/Staff Software Engineer | SF, NYC, or Remote (US) | $160K-$210K + equity | https://officehours.com

We're a consulting platform and marketplace.

On one side (demand), we help businesses find, connect, and learn from experts. On the other (supply), we make it easy for people to get paid to share what they know.

Similar to other marketplaces, things seem simple on the surface: search, match, connect, and pay. But under the hood, there are fun and challenging engineering problems across search, discovery, recommendations, data, logistics, payments, and performance.

We're looking for an experienced (6+ years) backend engineer to help us solve them. The ideal person would be a backend engineer with experience (or interest) in data engineering or search/discovery/recommendation experiences.

Our small, driven, curious, collaborative team has built a robust, high-quality platform. If you're interested in helping us continue to scale it up, apply using the link below.

The US is in no position to fight a war, regardless of supposed "dead wood". This is just a purge and further attempt to weaken the state intelligence apparatus.
Both Trump and Musk have a history of not paying people if they can get away with it, so would fit the pattern.
Hey, I don't see any roles that align with my experience but I think I have something to offer. Is there any mail I can reach out to?
There are very boring things that have been done in the past to increase diversity, like making sure recruiters actually went to black universities to recruit, instead of... mysteriously skipping them. Technically that cost something, but basically negligible.

The problem cases are after that, when people get upset the numbers didn't change as much as they hoped, and decide to go do fiddle with the hiring process.
Have you perhaps ever heard of a concepts "poetic license" or "hyperbole"?
I learned about the opportunity to apply for an Air Traffic Control Specialist (ATCS) job through:

A. A PUBLIC NOTICE OR MEDIA ADVERTISEMENT +5
B. A FRIEND OR RELATIVE 0
C. COLLEGE RECRUITMENT +3
D. WORKING IN SOME OTHER CAPACITY FOR THE AGENCY +3
E. SOME OTHER WAY 0

Wow … I get points for this. No surprise, that this is going south. I m shocked.
We had rate limiting with Istio/Envoy but Envoy was using 4-8x normal memory processing that much traffic and crashing.

The attacker was using residential proxies and making about 8 requests before cycling to a new IP.

Challenges work much better since they use cookies or other metadata to establish a client is trusted then let requests pass. This stops bad clients at the first request but you need something more sophisticated than a webserver with basic rate limiting.
With all their bs, "they" undercut their argument for the "re lie ability" of di-git-al trans actions.

At least to the 15% who can think.
I’m sorry if I offended you — I meant social activity in the context of WFH, ie I was specifically talking about the social activity one gets at the office

I’ll admit that I was throwing some shade — but I was really just implying that “5-8 times a year” seemed like an exaggeration to me, not that you are a hermit.

Still, no need for that tone, so I apologize.
> Most programming is actually figuring out what already exists and what (and more importantly: why) the requirements are. This is best done long before a single line of code is written.

Calling requirements gathering "programming" is just misusing a term for no good reason. By all means, include it in "software development" but it clearly isn't "programming".
You'd need to somehow get it to work on Windows 10/11 first.
I read light prose several times faster than an audio book; 60-100 pages in an hour for a typical paperback. That works out to 240-400 pages for the author's 240 minutes.

I read Going Postal by Pratchett in under 4 hours.

[edit]

Also, consumers of audiobooks may turn the speed up. My wife listens at 1.25-1.5x speed, depending on the narrator's pace.
> Programming as theory-building

Sounds similar to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curry–Howard_correspondence.
Yes that's definitely newspeak! It's also the reason why I run adblock. It's gotten me in trouble a few times with streaming services, they don't love it. I still run it.
Are people still using Agile?
I'm in a red state and I hard disagree with your generalizations. Even in red red red states Kamilla got 30%-40% of the vote. Trump got 40% in California.
Doesn't that seem a bit too complacent? Personally I've always thought the opposite - malcontents have more to gain and less to lose by criticizing or opposing the status quo.
My wife asked me this question, since I'm a considerably faster reader than her. We discovered that (if I try reading aloud as fast as possible) I can read aloud faster than she can read without speaking, though my tongue does occasionally trip over words at that speed. I read in my head faster yet.
This is spot on, any legacy vendor focusing on a specific type of PDF is going to get obliterated by LLMs. The problem with using an off-the-shelf provider like this is, you get stuck with their data schema. With an LLM, you have full control over the schema meaning you can parse and extract much more unique data.

The problem then shifts from "can we extract this data from the PDF" to "how do we teach an LLM to extract the data we need, validate its performance, and deploy it with confidence into prod?"

You could improve your accuracy further by adding some chain-of-thought to your prompt btw. e.g. Make each field in your json schema have a `reasoning` field beforehand so the model can CoT how it got to its answer. If you want to take it to the next level, `citations` in our experience also improves performance (and when combined with bounding boxes, is powerful for human-in-the-loop tooling).

Disclaimer: I started an LLM doc processing infra company (https://extend.app/)
Had no trouble with these except for the three or so panels of bright green which were almost impossible to distinguish. I got the confetti in the end but wasn't paying attention to beeps so not sure if I got any of the bright greens right.
On one hand, I have never heard of a password hashing algorithm that truncated to 72 characters. I assumed all one-way hashing functions were arbitrary length input. "arbitrary input -> fixed output" has always been part of the definition of hash, to me.

On the other hand, I'm not a security developer at Okta.
eating healthy… eggs are $14/dozen and all that “inflation” jazz
How many do they keep? It's not a requirement but after ~3 years they hardly lay, but still eat, and most people looking for serious production are not interested in running a chicken retirement home for X additional years of life as well.
Yes, I just enjoy meeting new people, not looking for anything longterm other than maybe friends.
> The cameras are also coming to five other California cities, as outlined by AB 645. Besides San Francisco, you'll also find them in Los Angeles, San Jose, Oakland, Glendale and Long Beach as part of a five-year program.

Automated revenue collection mechanism through minor infractions.

I'm torn; overall this seem orwellian, but also curious to see how this goes in Oakland.
As far as I’m concerned, Search is the most egregious and worrisome case of enshittification of them all. Because Search is our starting point for everything on the internet. How do you find the article or blog you want to read, the plumber you want to hire, the thing you want to buy, the discussion group in which you want to comment— the answer to the question on your mind? It all comes from Search. If I could decentralize and protect one part of the internet, it would be Search. I want to encounter all the little hidden corners of the web that feel so out of reach and silent now.
I ran into exactly this the other day trying to browse a website from a browser app on an android-powered TV. Just couldn't get to the website.
The difference between DRY and YAGNI is experience. Both are predicting the future, and you can only do that by having watched code evolve.
Well, there's KlongPy[1]. While not APL, it is built on top of Python and manages to turn NumPy from "Iverson Ghost"[2] status into Klong[3], a proper array language.

It absolutely applies to lifting and progressive overload. A measure of progressive overload can be applied to amount of time spend lifting, also knows as time-under-tension, it can also apply inversely with shortened rest periods. Whether or not these methods align with your fitness goals, is a separate issue.

Effort, or what the fitness industry calls Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE), is another lever to pull with progressive overload, and is necessary in programming for all experience levels. Beginners start their programs using minimal weights, slowly increasing the weight each week as their skill improves and through that process their strength and muscles grow.

A more advanced lifter, will need a higher minimum effective dose due to what is needed to trigger adaptation, will manipulate RPE throughout their programming to manage fatigue accrued throughout the program.

A great personal trainer is someone that will help their clients find their own personal mimimum dose of training that aligns with their fitness goals.
> It's telling that culture will instantly lump anyone successful into the "white" category.

They also do the inverse, insisting that obviously white Arabs and Persians can't be white because they don't live in successful countries. (On the other hand, Russians can be white despite not living in a successful country. Who knows. In this case, it looks like "white" actually means "Christian", except for Middle Eastern or Korean Christians.)

Kim Kardashian was supposed to be non-Caucasian, if you believe Twitter. Her name clearly identifies her as Armenian; you can't get much closer to the Caucasus than that. Although it is true that she's only half Armenian, with the remainder being Scottish and Dutch.
That's because nobody should give a shit. The details are irrelevant because USAID is a drop in the bucket compared to military spending. Almost anything in the federal budget is. Our taxes are not going down if they halt all foreign aid indefinitely.

It's generally a public service to shine a light on government spending for research purposes, but if someone honestly wanted to do some good here instead of being a servile right-wing toady, they'd audit the fucking Pentagon.
Try living your life the other way around for a while.
It's been happening since the invention of the internet. Wait, probably because that's where it came from. OK OK not the web itself, but first there was ARPANET.
i read this take a lot but have never heard of it in practice (from my high school nieces)

what is overwhelmingly prevalent is political bullying; eg "make the dems cry again" was all over the school in various forms (t shirts, device backgrounds, etc)

green bubble hysteria really isn't a thing beyond nerds.
Not if they pass it via reconciliation.
America should help its poor and underprivileged groups through stuff like progressive taxation, better social service, and extra resources for schools in poor areas. It’s not perfect, but kind of works. It helps people to achieve better educational outcomes already in their childhood.

Discriminating against everyone else in school or work application processes is just wrong and insane way to handle things.
> Also, Apple should not be in the business of making social apps. Hardware and OS is plenty lock-in aka fiefdoms as it is.

I have some sympathy for Apple here; they are selling a premium walled garden, and nearly all popular social apps do one or more things that are rather antithetical to their brand.
I feel like often people in your position don't have a basic undestanding why racism is wrong. You don't have a concept or any empathy for how racism affects individual people, all you see is the broad identity group itself. You don't understand the individual core experience of what racism does to people, dehumanizing them, prejudicially dismissing their life and individuality on the basis of skin color. Or at least, you don't doesn't appear to, given that you are guilty of doing this.

Not every white person has "privilege", the advantages typically referred to by this word is about heavily overlapping normal distributions between racial groups. We see statistical level differences in these overlapping curves, but people can be on opposite ends of the curve and that width is greater than the width between races. Ultimately when you boil things down the issue is individuals within systems discriminating against other individuals. In addition, skin color is one axis, there are literally thousands of axes in which one may be privileged, just to name a few examples, how many medical issues you have, the quality of your parents friends, the quality of your early school friends and teachers, whether you're attractive or ugly, many of these things are out of the control of a child and in many cases have a much bigger impact on the quality of your life than skin color, or even the big obvious ones like sex and sexuality.

It's becoming really common for advantaged people to feel justified in being a racist towards disadvantaged people, because the disadvantaged people are white. When this happens i'm not sure how you can see this as a good thing. By assuming every white person has "privilege" to be taken away you are committing racism against individual human beings with complex lives and life experience. Basically, stop! You can fight racism without devolving into racism yourself. I still remember the MLK era speeches about how fighting racism with more racism was unacceptable, we are all human beings with individual humanity, not our skin colors. Not sure what happened that so many people lost the plot.
> It seems to me DOGE is about crashing the US economy and/or world economy to attempt wild and radical Silicon Valley theories about alternate societies

I see absolutely no evidence that the DOGE crowd wants to crash the economy and while they do have a utopian ideology so does the left.

Additionally, the DOGE crowd would say they’re trying to dismantle an unaccountable deep state conspiracy that threatens the American economy through an accelerating accumulation of government debt and regulations and has been trying to transform society globally for decades through political, social, economic, and military intervention all to serve the progressive elites.

I think both of your views are lacking in charity and perspective, although the DOGE view in so far as I’ve accurately described it has vastly more evidence backing it up.
It means he's neck deep in outgroup homogeneity.
"Open Source" itself is already a re-definition.

The creation and deployment of the GPL license was touted as "free software".

While "Open Source" uses the same licenses, the motivation is completely different. Profit .vs User Freedom.

Why should institutional users of s/w create there own and share it, when vendors who will collect billions over the lifetime of their users will "give" "free" versions of the s/w to them?

It's like giving the school children free heroin and calling it philanthropy...

p.s. In my youth, big tobacco did in fact hand out free cigarettes outside of the high school...
yeah disable OCR is for documents where you don't need to OCR a scanned image, it'll just parse out the text

Does it still apply if you change the UA to something more common (Chrome on Windows or something)?
I suppose this post itself may have been ai-automated ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I was putting them up in good faith as a public service.

Yes, they did. But when I pointed out that they didn't in fact own the copyright they highlighted this detail about the youtube terms if service, so I still had to take the video down, not because it violated copyright, but because it violated the YouTube terms of service.
> The only piece of browser history it's missing is somehow pretending to be IE.

They're kinda covered because IE also sent Mozilla/5.0 (or 4.0, 2.0, [..]).
This is (anti)-wishful thinking.

The goal of the DEI program in my company was along the lines of:

"Last year, 20% of all PhDs in areas we hire for were women. Yet only 7% of our actual PhD hires were women. Why?"

Whether the actual implementation solved this problem is a different matter. The goal, however, was to reduce bias.
I love this concept for a thread.

Here are a few people my startups have worked with that I can vouch for:

Asia Orangio of DemandMaven - customer research and SaaS product positioning, feature prioritization, and product strategy

Talia Wolf - conversion rate optimization

Seer Interactive - PPC and SEO

I'll try to add more as I dig through my list.
The government works for the people. In a republic, we have a right to know how our money is being spent.

Calling attention to how the government is spending our national treasury, is a service, not a national security threat. I don't need to know the positions of the Navy Seal teams before they hit a target. I do need to know if DARPA or USAID or the CIA or the FBI is spending money and human resources in a wasteful or corrupt fashion. I do need to know if they are violating the constitution and censoring speech with OUR money. I do expect people who violate American rights to be fired at a minimum and barred from public service. We cannot be free if we cannot hold our government accountable.

Assange and Snowden should be pardoned. However, the President of the United States has unlimited authority to declassify information on whatever terms they wish.
Sure not every needs it but this is US page so it is more likely to discuss US related things here.

As someone who is not from English speaking country, I get that you may expect forum in English language to be neutral / international, but usually (as with any other language) it is not.
The article is literally about eggs being 7$/dozen, which is an egg specific price spike.

Even assuming you’re spending twice as much on eggs it just doesn’t add up to over 20$/day. Flour is 0.50$/lb, lettuce is 3$/lb, butter is 5$/lb, etc. Even a 3,000 calories per day you’re well under that.
They are also tweeting 'findings' to create a narrative.

Yes I’ve heard that speech from Freeland a dozen times too. And yet she just announced if she’s elected leader of the LPC she’s going to do away with it.
Yeah but it's only tiered and/or temp files.
Oh man. I’d go higher. Especially compared to vocalizing at “storytelling pace.”

I remember a while back being surprised to learn that there are readers who process language phonographically as opposed to orthographically, even when silent-reading. That is, they might read in their minds at the same pace that they speak, or “subvocalize”—reading aloud in everything except for producing the sounds. It was a dinner-party-grade conversation, not an academic-grade one, but once somebody talked to me about that distinction I’d notice people mouthing along to what they were reading—and it made sense why that was slower.

I’m not up on the details, but I remember an estimate in the 150-200wpm range for reading out loud. A little north of that for silent reading with subvocalization, and comfortably in the 400-600wpm range for skilled silent readers in an orthographic mode. And then the whole “speed reading” crowd clocking in faster, but at significant cost to comprehension. The general idea being that skilled orthographic readers can “chunk” entire words and phrases into larger visual units that they can parse all at once.

Looking for references now this is the best I can find:

https://theamericanscholar.org/reading-fast-and-slow/

But I wonder where the speed reading conversation intersects with this notion out of Caltech that we “live at 10 bits per second”:

do you have a substantive argument or more ridicule? because i can go for both.

would you like to see my spreadsheet of regional distributors who move food into NYC from small farms in the northeast? it's possible you've eaten this food. or would you like to see demographic and usda farming data when small farms were the primary food producers during a time when the NYC metro had a similary large population, before CAFOs and the centralized ag we know today? or were those people fed because they went egg foraging?
Is it even a "release" when it's on youboob?

Will they allow downoad? Will they enforce ads and popups in order to view these movies?

It's more like they gave the licensess to goggle than actually "releasing" the movies...
As far as I'm concerned, almost every person who has argued with me about politics has been politically brainwashed and antagonistic in the first comment I replied to, and I have often been brigaded by obvious political operatives or trolls with multiple accounts.

If other people can make antagonistic political comments with impunity, why does disagreeing with them put me in the "troll" category? I think you just don't like people who disagree with you by default. This is how the left operates today, and why I get so pissed off nearly every time I have to talk to a left-leaning person.

I'm surprised you care enough to bother replying to me. By the way, where are these tags you speak of? I would like to know if I'm arguing with known trolls, or to catalog them for myself.
Trump says a million things, and the possibility that a company would actually have legal issues with DEI is low to possibly zero, so it's very unlikely due to that and much more likely due to wanting to follow the political trend (due to internal politics and shareholder push). If companies truly were afraid of legal action you wouldn't have ones like Costco bucking the trend and not changing their policies after their shareholders continue to support DEI.
You would probably like Gnumeric, though that project is very Unix-specific.
The ‘s’ does stand for ‘subset’ after all :)
CloudFlare sometimes attempts to verify that I'm a human when requesting a JSON resource [1] on Australia Post's web site, which breaks parcel tracking feature without any visible captcha. The problem can only be diagnosed by using the browser's inspector tool.

Even worse, I get the blanket "You have been blocked" message when I try to manually open the URL and solve the captcha.
