Quilt is continuous data delivery. We are a tight-knit team of computer scientists who take pride in what we build. You have experience with the following platforms and technologies:

You use all of the following technologies (and have hacked the internals of one or more):

You are committed to producing high-quality code in a team setting:

Last year, a bunch of us revived the “Work at a Startup” event for YC companies and prospective hires to meet each other in person The format has proven to work well, so we’re doing it again. The 2019 event will be on Saturday, June 29 at YC in Mountain View: Many engineers are interested in working at smaller companies. (Many founders at this year’s event learned to ship products by at places like Square, Google, Linkedin and even Gusto.)

Most business ideas are neither objectively good nor bad. If idea X will take three months to build and has a large addressable market, is it better or worse than idea Y that will take one month to make but has a slightly smaller market? My filters look like this right now:

There is no perfect business idea, and I may have to compromise on some of these criteria – that’s okay.

The group Moms Across America has taken aim at Impossible Foods, alleging “dangerous levels” of the herbicide glyphosate have been found in the Impossible Burger. The group says it was “shocked” to learn the level of glyphosate detected in the Impossible Burger was 11 times higher than that in the Beyond Meat Burger, based on testing it ordered. In fact, it says:

“[The glyphosate] detected in both the Beyond Burger and Impossible Burger were less than 1/1,000 the limit set by EPA for glyphosate residue in dried pea (8,000 ppb) and soybeans (20,000 ppb), respectively.

When it’s time to package up your Python application into a Docker image, the natural thing to do is search the web for some examples. Learn more about best-practices Docker images for Python. At that point rebuilding the image will switch to a different version of Python, which might break the software: a minor change in your code can lead to a deploy that breaks production.

Amidst an escalating trade war and political tensions with the US, Beijing officials have decided to develop a custom operating system that will replace the Windows OS on computers used by the Chinese military. Per the magazine, Chinese military officials won’t be jumping ship from Windows to Linux but will develop a custom OS. Since these leaks have revealed that the US can hack into almost anything, the Chinese government’s plan is to adopt a “security by obscurity” approach and run a custom operating system that will make it harder for foreign threat actors — mainly the US — to spy on Chinese military operations.

Other trackers pay the app makers, squeezing value out of our data to target ads. Three more trackers help DoorDash monitor app performance — including one called Segment that routes onward data including your delivery address, name, email and cell carrier. Apple offers a privacy setting called “Limit Ad Tracking” (sadly off by default) which makes it a little bit harder for companies to track you across apps, by way of a unique identifier for every iPhone.

It closes the discussion because it makes it difficult for people who disagree to acknowledge that this problem is real while also arguing that we should hold a different balance of the cost, which makes it still the preferable choice. This decision has been justified well and reflects the “consensus weighting” of the different costs among the members of the language team. There are a few further clarifications regarding some conversations that have arisen in the discussion the last few weeks:

I’m working actively on drafting a stabilization report to propose stabilizing a minimum viable version of async/await in the 1.37 release of Rust.

A small tool that could store, version, retrieve, and format our application configurations in order to keep sync between coworkers and environments. This release introduces a new command ( ) and improves the command in order to let you read or update a subset of a configuration:

You no longer need to fetch the configuration file, open it with your IDE, update that one flag and update the full version of the file. The previous version already had a command, showing the latest changes in the configuration.
