I echo this. When my TKL KBParadise with Matias Quiet Click switches started misbehaving I was quite disappointed to find out that chatter is a common defect of Matias switches. Don't like the stabilizers either. Should have stuck with Cherry MX Browns, by far my favorite switch.
It appears you've only managed to hire one person after at least 246 days (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11612805) and it is safe to assume you've advertised this position in other boards as well. I see you were a team of nine developers back then, and only recently became a team of ten developers, according to the job posts.
Maybe you should inform the community here why it hasn't been working out for you or update the copy to indicate the level of experience you are looking for.
If you are on the fence on professional proofreading due to cost, I think that a thorough review by a native English speaker (maybe a good friend) that is at least somewhat technical would be enough to correct a lot of the issues.
I find the way you write enjoyable, free-flowing and absolutely understandable, but there are quite a few instances of expressing things in an subtly unnatural way, which detracts from the otherwise great experience. Perhaps this isn't the best example (and some things are subjective too), but to illustrate what I'm saying:
> You’ll even know how to show your CPU usage and memory via the status line.
I would rewrite that to:
> You’ll even find out how to show your CPU usage and memory via the status line.
Or even better:
> I'll even show you how to display CPU and memory usage right at your status line.
Any amount of service toggling and hosts file stuffing will not suffice. It just screams ignorance. As a software developer you should understand that plugging holes in a black box is a futile effort. All these tools are doing is giving a false sense of privacy, that the next update will undo by flipping a switch or installing a new service.
If you think the OS is violating your privacy, stop using it or remove it from the Internet. Or both. It's the only way.
Edited to add: If you actually like Windows (I do), just switch to the Enterprise Edition and dial Telemetry down to "Security". Here is an explanation of what little is then shared, and how to even further minimize your footprint: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/itpro/windows/manage/con...
Edit to address the availability of the Enterprise Edition: If you are not able to get it via your $JOB, a valid key from MSDN surplus shouldn't be more than $50 if you look around. Of course you'd then be bending the EULA in your favor, but hey, since Microsoft is spying on everyone against their will I think it is fair game, right?
Maybe it will make more sense once it fully sinks in, but I think in general it is a mistake to make developers think about when and where certain things can be omitted. It's more straightforward to simply do one thing, consistently, following the "explicit is better than implicit" mantra.
What happened to optimizing for mental overhead instead of file size? This simply should be a build step, part of your minification and concatenation dance, not having to consider all of these when trying to decide if I should close my <p> tag or not:
A p element's end tag may be omitted if the p element is immediately followed by an address, article, aside, blockquote, details, div, dl, fieldset, figcaption, figure, footer, form, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, header, hgroup, hr, main, menu, nav, ol, p, pre, section, table, or ul element, or if there is no more content in the parent element and the parent element is an HTML element that is not an a, audio, del, ins, map, noscript, or video element, or an autonomous custom element.
If you do decide to move forward with it, check out https://www.indiehackers.com/businesses for inspiration, there are a few people doing similar stuff. Some direct links:
Any ideas on how you are going to promote it? Are you good with marketing? At the very least you need to add a demo dashboard to highlight the available features, before I have to spend time making an account.
Judging from similar projects I've pursued, writing code seems to be the easiest task these days.
Unfortunately, it appears that binary diffs are not supported.
This is a really important aspect for many workflows dealing with large files (like TrueCrypt containers). Contrary to what is stated by the rclone developer [1], at least Dropbox supports binary diffs [2].
If you are worried about telemetry, like some people are, the only version that allows completely disabling it is Windows 10 Enterprise.
Having said that, the main reason for at least initiating the update is to mark your existing key as "Windows 10 eligible". After the upgrade is complete, you can easily roll back to the previous OS version (from within Windows, trivial and no side effects) and you can continue working on Windows 8.1 while now having a valid Windows 10 key for the future.
You can also perform the above procedure using a VM snapshot, upgrading, and then simply using your snapshot instead.
If you are a developer using Windows as your main OS, a very strong reason to upgrade and not roll back is the upcoming Anniversary Update. This will bring the "Windows Subsystem for Linux" which means you can natively run the entire Ubuntu userspace, like bash, tmux etc. That is pretty exiting!
IMO if you rarely use the VM in question, your top priority should be future-proofing your Windows 8 key.
But a question: Is your CV battle tested? What I mean is, having significant experience already and I assume industry connections, do you find that your CV is what gets your foot in the door for an interview?
To put it another way, do you find that after a certain point, CVs simply don't matter?
Excellent advice. A bit tough to keep everything in one page with this format though.
As an aside, I wish there was a recruiter like Pete, but for Python developers (he focuses on Perl). You should check out his site: https://opensource.careers/
You should also check out Betas (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3012184/), a light-hearted SF startup culture comedy show by Amazon. Sadly, it never got a second season.
That shouldn't be an issue, why aren't you using tmux/screen in the first place? It's what most people use to persist sessions across logins (and much more, like terminal multiplexing). I personally use Byobu with the tmux backend on all my servers.
If you don't want to use extra software, a simple cron job running every minute would suffice.
First of all, is a web interface absolutely required? It adds a lot of complexity to something that is no more than a couple of lines of Bash glue. For monitoring, you can just keep an SSH session to the Pi.
How i would do it, requiring no user input:
* Designate a hot folder on the NAS, where i put all the videos to be uploaded.
* Establish a list of what has been transferred (nothing initially).
* From the Pi, poll the NAS folder for files that haven't been transferred yet.
* If a file is found, cat file | curl --data-binary @- POST it to YT.
* On success, record the transferred filename.
* Continue polling.
Of course, you can quite easily bolt-on a web interface to this, by exposing some of the steps as API endpoints.
