coopr··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (December 2022)
https://QuitCarbon.com | Software Lead / Technical Co-Founder | (ONSITE partially) San Francisco | Full-Time

QuitCarbon, our climate startup / nascent public-benefit company based in San Francisco, helps homeowners electrify (upgrade from fossil gas appliances to heat pumps, induction stoves, etc), and helps small business contractors flourish by being part of the clean energy transition.

We are growing fast, generating revenue, helping many folks quit, raising our first funding round, and seeking our co-founding or lead software person.

* Full-time, long-term role * Ideally you have both senior individual contributor experience and early-stage startup experience * Salary/equity mix is up for discussion, but will be competitive * We’d strongly prefer at least 1 day/week in-person in SF - this role is not full-time remote * Especially welcoming of non-white-dude folks - but don’t let that stop you if you are a white dude - we take all sorts

Reach me at Cooper@QuitCarbon.com if this gets you excited. We are moving fast here, so don’t delay.

PS. My background is here https://www.linkedin.com/in/coopermarcus/

AxelHealth.com whoops?
coopr··on Apple iPhone charger teardown (2012)
In the more distant past I found this to be true, but recent LED bulb purchases from Ikea have convinced me they've solved the earlier problems. Their LED bulbs are now great performers with fair prices.
coopr··on The United States Needs a Universal System to Pay for Public Transit
And yet it often is. And, even when it isn't, knowing how much to pay can be hard.

The ideal system is one in which you use the "universal transit payment card" desired in the article to get on the transit system, then use it again to get off (if the transit system requires it - no all do), without having to give even a single thought to how much money you are spending.

When you have different payment cards/passes/tickets in different systems, you have to figure out not only how to buy those tickets, but how much to buy (so that you don't depart the area having vastly overbought - or so that you don't run out of loaded fare value before you end your trip).

coopr··on The United States Needs a Universal System to Pay for Public Transit
You clearly don't travel much and try to navigate different public transit systems.

I travel domestically and internationally, and I always have cash - and it is almost always much more difficult than it should be to pay for public transit, just like the article says.

coopr··on AWS DeepRacer – Go Hands-On with Reinforcement Learning
Taller, black side is the front - the camera is in that taller end.

coopr··on The Economics of a Commune in the Ozarks
I very much enjoyed living part of my childhood at Findhorn in Scotland, an intentional community with some aspects of a "commune" or collective - https://www.ecovillagefindhorn.com/ and https://www.findhorn.org/faq/

coopr··on Kong 1.0 Announced
Cooper from Kong here.

No HTTPS support in https://docs.konghq.com/hub/kong-inc/forward-proxy/ yet - we hope to add it in the future.

coopr··on Inside the Trump Administration’s Secret War on Weed
Have a look at the results in Portugal (this is a good summary https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_policy_of_Portugal#Observ...) - then, come back here and tell us what evidence you've found of a slippery slope. I don't believe you'll be able to find any such evidence, because there is no such slippery slope in practice.
coopr··on Inside the Trump Administration’s Secret War on Weed
While it is OK for the government to make statements that portray things in a positive or negative light, it is not OK for them to do so in the absense of supporting evidence, or worse yet, in the presence of evidence to the contrary. The former is, charitably, called "marketing" - but the latter is more commonly known as "lying".
coopr··on How to Design a Scalable Rate Limiting Algorithm
This analysis was done by BBVA comparing Tyk and Kong performance https://www.bbva.com/en/api-gateways-kong-vs-tyk/ - disclosure: I work for Kong, but Kong (the company) had no involvement with the benchmarking in that article.
coopr··on Aak HN: What time series metrics API should I emulate?
Ah, good point, I left that out.

My system will max out at perhaps 1M data points in any given series. More typically it might have 1/10th or 1/100th of that.

coopr··on Ask HN: What team password managers do you use?
I love 1Password - though my team is less than 100 people.
coopr··on Mashape Open-Sources Its Kong API Management Platform
Doh, nevermind, Mashape sells, perhaps among other things, Kong Enterprise http://getkong.org/enterprise/
coopr··on Mashape Open-Sources Its Kong API Management Platform
So, what does Mashape (now) sell?
coopr··on Fine-grained permissions for API keys – any best practices, great examples, etc?
Very nice, thanks @amarcus - do you have any public-facing documentation I could review?

coopr··on Introducing Heroku Button
Howsabout an app that performs terribly and does nothing - except teach you to improve your Ruby code?

Yeah, there is a button for that https://github.com/newrelic/newrelic-ruby-kata

coopr··on Announcing JS Error Reporting and Ajax Timing in New Relic
Indeed - we've already got http://newrelic.com/platform/ for monitoring things via plugins, we've got app server and mobile app monitoring, we've got server OS monitoring, and you are going to love what we've got coming with newrelic.com/software-analytics!
coopr··on Nginx Plus
Curious about what sort of advanced metrics you get with NGINX Plus? Install the NGNIX plugin for New Relic (both it and New Relic Standard are free) and you'll see a bunch of charts marked "NGINX Plus only" http://newrelic.com/plugins/nginx-inc/13

coopr··on New Relic opens its public platform to monitor all your performance data
Forever
coopr··on New Relic opens its public platform to monitor all your performance data
New Relic monitors your application code execution and your end user's experiences. New Relic Plugins monitor anything - other parts of your application stack that our "stock" agents don't monitor, parts of your business process, whatever.

Azure's Management Portal monitors your infrastructure. New Relic also does a little infrastructure monitoring.

Overall, they do different things - and, New Relic is both free to use and super-easy to install, so perhaps you can try it out and see what you think?

coopr··on New Relic opens its public platform to monitor all your performance data
You'd like to see NetScaler monitored by a New Relic plugin? Great - build it! If NetScaler makes it easy to get out metrics (SNMP?) then writing a plugin might take only a day or less.
