I'm sure the author appreciates your comparisons to Einstein! It's apt. Oh, and look at the publish date before you decide the 'zeitgeist-headline-grabbing' factor.
Is this a minimum so that the 2k number is whatever the net would be, so that people who currently have jobs would have their income supplemented?
I was very interested in Even as a company designed to approach challenges like these. I can't imagine how difficult it is to take on a study like this, I'm rooting for them to be successful and hope they share the resulting data.
It should always be close to our thoughts - lack of a living wage causing long commutes from soon-to-be gentrified neighborhoods, all in the shadow of Chomsky's Responsibility of Intellectuals.
No remote, but telework 1 day a week after the first 6 months.
Part Hospital/part EDU, Montefiore is looking for Mac SysAdmins in the NYC area.
http://jobs.mdoes.com (the title is Desktop Analyst)
This is a job you can grow in; I was able to open-source a good amount of code, (including contributions to munki and autopkg,)
spoke at conferences like PSU MacAdmins, and the boss and I both spoke at the MacTech Conference.
If you're as maniacal as I am about the devops mindset and sharing what you know, this may be for you.
(There's iOS-related and regular IT customer service-type tasks as well, but mostly you'd be sheilded from having to be reactive.)
Major aspects of this working environment include:
- Customers you'll respect, who have enough self-confidence to reciprocate
- Coworkers that want to work hard and make you look good
- A boss and leadership that give you room while challenging your ambition
- Benefits like... working at a hospital, and a college. It's pretty great, one example: every week you earn ~10 hours off.
We're hoping you like the idea of making a difference with us. No ping pong, no rock band, and you go home at 5.
Take the generous time off. Have the resources to experiment and reach your potential.
For the tool-builders doing keyword searches: sure, there's a good amount of django, flask, and (py-)objective-c.
But we're also getting the job done with puppet, munki, and autopkg. If you (or anybody you know) might be interested,
please reach out: @sacrilicious on twitter, Allister Banks on linkedin, Allister on macadmins Slack, and abanks@montefiore.org
(No recruiters or folks looking for freelance-type contracts, please)
I've read this story before, and often think about how if people don't have examples in life these 'epiphanies' are hard to come by. Non-fictional heroes may get more attention with the access to knowledge we have nowadays, but there's still the problem of focusing in and having the possibility made real in our own minds.
My story:
- The pretty big theater I worked for had a crackerjack unix head running a windows/exchange environment like it was no big thing, all from an iBookG3. I was in the shower, at some point in the late fall. and I thought to myself 'I'd like to have a job/get paid to "fix computers"'. I sent away for Apple's Tech Training, someone's husband was starting a consulting company, and 10 years later... well, I like what I do and am lucky to have as many advances as I've had in my short career. Workstation-level sysadmin may not be highly regarded, but at least the book I wrote wasn't by hand.
Good for you making an app to scratch your own itch!
Pardon being negative when I know you are sharing some of your self with the world by showing HN.
I don't even mind the runtime tomfoolery, but it's disingenuous to say "Apple doesn't trust you to make grown-up decisions yet about what applications you want to run".
First off, "yet"? They're going to change they're mind at some point about code signing?
And second, nw.js apps like Kitematic can sign their code, no matter how quick a hack this is don't belittle Apple's security to explain away your laziness of not signing your app.
Thank you for sharing, although the glamorizing of killing yourself for work is also a bit disturbing.
The zdw-mentioned autopkg has the capability of looking at your installed AppStore apps and checking for updates, and further can package them(with embedded receipt/DRM) to a patch mgmt system.
https://github.com/autopkg/nmcspadden-recipes/tree/master/Ap...
It works with any pkg deployment system, although autopkg itself ships with Munki support. Ansible and osxc by extension are about ConfigMgmt, of course, but conflating mgmt systems is common and understandable.
Mazel Tov, if people in underserved markets find online arrangement and pricing simplicity a real value-add, more power to 'em. However, I live in <insert large city here,> where the local laundromats all do free pickup as a service anyway, so I have a hard time not thinking that for urban areas 'just walk the street nearby or talk to your neighbors, people!' Or, just do your laundry like you do your dishes in places that have machines in your building - unless you're so important and valuable you have a staff to arrange these things.
So many of these systems are still too big and complicated. I consider myself an amateur, and therefore I bootstrap with manually getting Dropbox, 1Password, and then update babushka links to do the rest from the canonical sources via github.
