> "I was born into a poor family but am relatively intelligent and good at learning things, therefore I can find success"
Nicely put, unconsciously this was my mindset in my 20s. In my 30s, I started questioning myself how come so many stupid people achieve great success. There must be more to success than just being relatively intelligent (just look into politicians - forgive generalization).
Once a nagging thought, now I find some comfort in it.
My GF was a photographer at a Secret Cinema event with Laura Marling that took place in London. She had to take some promo pictures, so they met in one of the event rooms [1] for the photoshoot. After just a few pictures they were done and instead of wrapping up, Laura started to perform one of her songs.
Not the same scale as Bob Dylan concert, but still a concert for one. A kind gesture, unconditional, free, ephemeral, but leaving a life lasting memory.
Not sure how I've missed it! Now, I just wish to live long enough to hear the 3rd iteration. Hearing how much shit has happened over the years is so soothing, yet world just keeps on spinning
The Lagos video (https://openai.com/sora?video=lagos) is very much how my dreams unfold. One moment, I'm with my friends in a bustling marketplace, then suddenly we are no longer at the marketplace, but rather overlooking a sunset and a highway. I wonder if there are some conceptual similarities how dreams and AI video models work.
Last winter, I visited Rome for the first time. I walked past this a couple of times. Everything was fenced, and as I continued my journey I just thought of it how inconvenient it is to walk around it. Unbeknownst to me, I was passing a place where Julius Caesar was killed. That pretty much sums up Rome - it is so enriched in history that you unwillingly become ignorant while exploring it.
Full-stack developer who can design, 8 YOE managing engineering teams as a CTO. Very hands-on, fluent in working across the stack. Started interviewing in mid-March after a career break. I’m open to programming-focused roles as well.
I’m also curious what’s a good way finding projects for generalists. My contracting experience was that I ended up doing specialized work even though I would able to complete the project from start to finish.
Sedition Art | CTO | Full-time | Remote or Onsite | London
Hi HN! After 10 years at Sedition I'm moving on to some other ventures and looking for a replacement for my role. It's a great job at a small company that has been selling digital limited editions by World renowned artists since 2010. With advent of NFTs the digital ownership is becoming a new norm and Sedition can be at the very centre of this. It's all in your hands.
As a CTO you will work closely with CEO and lead the technical evolution of the product. We are 6 technical people so the role does not involve much management work but rather planning and hands on coding.
We expect the CTO to be a technical generalist with previous experience in a similar role.
Depends on the luxury level. At the very top the customer base consists of the most recession-proof people in the World. I assume they just carry on with their habits recession or not.
If governments are censoring our internet we need to change the way we're being geolocated. VPN is too much configuration and centralisation. TOR is over the top privacy. I want something as accessible as turning the flight mode on my mobile. The button can be placed next to flight mode and called CENSORSHIP. You can turn it on. It will then reveal your true IP address and make the internet very fast. However it's off by default. The internet is a bit slower. But your requests are being cleverly routed through random IPs that are not censored. These random IPs are provided by organisations but most importantly by peer users of the feature who happen to live in free countries. Sort of SETI@home but the goal is to increase intraterrestrial intelligence.
We started Sedition with a mission to create a platform for publishing and collecting digital artworks. This was in 2011 well before the advent of NFTs. Since then we have published more than 4000 artworks from 1000 artists. Including Blue Chip represented artists like Tracey Emin, Jenny Holzer, Mat Collishaw.
We're now working on our integration with NFTs on Ethereum blockchain. It's going to be an interesting transition with a lot of challenging tasks in the pipeline. Our stack is Ruby / React / React Native / TypeScript / Solidity.
Compensation: $90K - $120K + bonuses. Timezone: We're in EU but we're flexible. More info: https://www.seditionart.com/jobs (other positions available). Apply via email: [email protected] - please mention HN.
If you're just starting in programming you may thing that Computer Networks falls into a nice to know category. At least I did as a freshman in CS. At a time I was more interested in gaining practical knowledge: popular programming languages, frameworks, OOP. In fact you can become a successful programmer without knowing much how networks work.
The reason why I recommend learning about Computer Networks from scratch is how fascinating the subject is. The way layers are implemented, their interactions, how the overall complexity is reduced by having layers of responsibility. This pattern can be seen in other areas as well: hardware -> operating system -> SDK -> programming language -> framework -> DSL. Ultimately from a Turing complete machine to seeing 200 FPS 3D FPS game with 150 other players on your screen.

I would not be so quick to dismiss it. Belarus claims that it still is an independent country. If it uses a nuclear weapon then it cannot be treated as if Russians used it directly. At least in Russia it would be easier for propaganda to push the story that Lukashenko did it.

Sedition is a platform for selling and collecting digital art. Founded in 2011 we have since become one of the industry leaders in terms of content and playback options. Our collection consists 4000+ artworks, including works from artists like Tracey Emin, Shepard Fairey, Yoko Ono, David Choe. Every collected artwork can be enjoyed on Apple TV / Chromecast / LG TV / Samsung TV via Sedition apps. Bought editions can be also resold on a secondary market. All of this was created well before the advent of blockchain technology. We are super excited about NFTs and the changes they made to digital ownership. We have started working on integrating NFTs into our platform and are looking for talented developers to join us.
Bees to this day are very respected in Lithuania. A very close friend can be being called "Bičiulis" which is derived from a word bee. As in "bee honey" = "Bičių medus". For english speakers the pronunciation can sound a bit contraindicative ʙɪᴛᴄʜ-ᴜʟɪs
