co-dreamer here, do you have a recommendation for a 64G 13"?

I founded the first web based background screening company in 1996 and I am back in the industry today, here is what I would do:

tldr; if it is sealed, do not worry about it. If not, be upfront as soon as possible.

Call the court clerk in the county the record is sealed in and confirm the record is sealed; If so, when a court researcher searches for the record, it will not appear and not be reported by the CRA (Consumer Reporting Agency is the technical term for a background screening company).

If you have never lived or worked in this county, it may never be searched.

If somehow the county reports the record and it is sealed, and the employer does not hire you because of the record, the employer has to do what is called the adverse action process, which gives you an opportunity to dispute the information before taking final action. During this time, you can have the CRA remove the record.

Enjoy hacking away at a FAANG!

I'm evaluating svelte and have yet to do much, however handling dynamic components is a key requirement, and appears to be supported like so:

  <script>
    import RedThing from './RedThing.svelte';
    import GreenThing from './GreenThing.svelte';
    import BlueThing from './BlueThing.svelte';

    const options = [
      { color: 'red',   component: RedThing   },
      { color: 'green', component: GreenThing },
      { color: 'blue',  component: BlueThing  },
    ];

    let selected = options[0];
  </script>

  <select bind:value={selected}>
    {#each options as option}
      <option value={option}>{option.color}</option>
    {/each}
  </select>

  {#if selected.color === 'red'}
    <RedThing/>
  {:else if selected.color === 'green'}
    <GreenThing/>
  {:else if selected.color === 'blue'}
    <BlueThing/>
  {/if}

I've been looking for a something to do virtual cards for single-use payments and/or assign a virtual card to a vendor, preferably with webhook style notifications posting back to our servers with charge activity.

Is brex a fit now, or in the near future?

$80k is what we paid for a PM, not a senior engineers. We pay our seniors $120-$250 depending on how their domain experience maps to ours, and if you want to live and work in the Sacramento Area I can have you interviewed, vetted and on-boarded in less than a week. Being in Sacramento, we have lost talent to the Bay Area for top candidates coming into the state that want to work for a more known entity and a have a larger network work within.

No BS or bad vibes; Just real peeps writing code and having fun doing it and always looking to add great people to the team because the demand is high and experienced talent is in short supply.

Our market (Sacramento, CA) is so hungry for senior engineers (for web or mobile), I'd wager max 2 weeks to be back in the saddle. But I doubt HPE has much talent for web-stacks, likely Microsoft/.Net and SAP experience which I can agree with your statement.

We just interviewed a PM from HPE and to our surprise, he makes ~$180k a year. We hired an awesome candidate for $80k.

We do this and have great success with a small SMS/Email application doing ~2mil jobs a day (mostly over a 6hour peak period).

Except, we use postresql's LISTEN/NOTIFY which amazingly is also transaction aware (NOTIFY does not happen until the transaction is committed, and even more amazingly, sorta de-dupes itself!) to move the jobs from the database to the message queue.

This way we never lock the queue table. We run a simple go program on the postgresql server that LISTEN's, queries, pushes to REDIS and then deletes with a .25 second delay so we group the IO instead of processing each row individually.

This also allowed us to create jobs via INSERT FROM SELECT, which is awesome when your creating 50k jobs at a time.

gRPC-gateway looks very attractive. Thank you for posting this for the rest of us to learn from, a brilliant effort for sure.

We are sharing your sentiment that a lot of our user-facing errors could be limited by moving away from weak typing (current stack is Ruby). In hindsight, did Go and protobuf prove well, we are evaluating Go and possible Elixir as a sweet spot between static and dynamic typing.

I'm considering moving from a macbook pro to the blade and adding the core to get a beefed up desktop experience with the ability to unplug and take work anywhere it needs to go. I'm assuming I would need to stay in windows land with linux via Hyper-V. Besides iMessage, all my apps run on linux (more-so) or windows (less-so). Any thoughts?

move the decimal and use an int (cents in US). It still blows me away that javascript has become so popular on the server without 64bit int types.

Right, so the business model is not new, but winning with it would be.

I understand the need for businesses to make money, but I do not understand how a business can understand OSS and implement the OSS core-only model. If your product has demand, at some point, an OSS project will arise to displace you.

Are there many winners with this model to name. Maybe NGINX, MongoDB?
