AFAQ RAZA BHATTI: June 2020

Scheme and Haskell are two of my favorite programming languages, and I know both are implementations of the lambda calculus. I'd like to learn more about that, but I haven't been able to find good sources. Most of the time I do find it mentioned, it's mentioned in passing, for example in SICP or the Little Schemer.

Some things I'd like to know:

- How to construct lambda functions from Turing machines and vice versa

- How to think about the Y-combinator (this is now almost un-googleable)

- What variants of the lambda calculus have been constructed and what their properties are

- How lambda functions relate to functions in the mathematical sense. Are they the same? Can you call them on real numbers? Are they continuous? Etc

Extra points if you can recommend a full theoretical treatment. I'm interested in really digging in to this topic.

Ask HN: Faamng-type IC vs. generic BigCo Director

I've got a good dilemma going. Background: I was first employee turned CTO at a startup that exited. We did ok. Not great, but not bad either. I left the acquirer after a year or so, making sure my team and our tech was taken care of and since then I've done some contract work while I looked for something permanent. COVID extended the contract work a bit but happily I'm now looking at two competing offers.

One is from a FAAMNG type company for a high level IC developer position. The total comp is good, and I can probably negotiate it up a little higher.

Two is from a Fortune 50 company that is trying to get part of their tech in order. Its for a 2nd level engineering manager supporting several teams and few dozen people. The total comp is in the same ballpark as the FAAMNG-type, but its less, and the RSU component is unlikely to have as much upside since its not directly tech.

I still have the chops to be an IC, and have cranked out a lot of good code while doing contract work, but I'm wary of taking on a full-time IC role and having to break the management barrier again (which feels like it could be especially difficult in our new remote-everything world).

"leadership" roles are definitely where I want to be going forward, and it is something I think I'm fairly good at. But I've found in my current search that FAAMNG-types don't seem to care much for startup experience in management roles. Maybe heading up larger teams at Fortune 50's look a little better and can demand better comp'd positions in the future because of it? It seems like promoted from IC to a 2nd level manager anywhere is a big challenge.

Have any of you been in a similar situation and care to share your thought process?

Let's use more of Firefox, only YOU can stop Chrome from becoming the next IE

For those who don't know (or belong to a newer generation), Microsoft's IE (Internet Explorer) was one browser that had almost monopolized itself globally for many years mostly during the early nineties decade. They managed to do it but the backlash was such that the public pressure practically caused a storm that made Bill Gates sit in front of the jury and answer some hard questions.

And today, I'm seeing history is repeating all over again, only Chrome has taken IE's place but there is no storm coming this time. Unlike our predecessors, we are giving in to convenience, we are acting like its not a botheration at all.

PLEASE DON'T DO IT. Consider the sheer browser market share that Chrome enjoys and Google's data interests for a moment, and it might already be too late for us. If a web service insists only on Chrome for best performance then change that service, not your browser! If Youtube gives issues to you then use Vimeo or Lbry instead. Let's unite in this effort and take it seriously, let's bring more diversity to the browser world.

Ask HN: Is the content of a Company's tech blog important to you?

You are looking for a job in tech, weighing the pros and cons of a list of companies to ultimately decide which one to go work with.

How big of a factor is the content of a company's blog posts in your decision making? As a follow-up, how heavily does a company's OSS contributions (projects, donations, both) influence your decision? I'm coming at this from a software engineer's perspective, but insight from people in other positions is more than welcome.

Ask HN: What to do when a botnet is requesting password resets?

Hey there HN, I'm currently having an issue on one of my accounts where, what seems like a botnet, is constantly sending password reset requests on it. This has been going for more than a week now.

I have contacted the service in particular (part of GAFAM) and their account security department told me there is nothing that can be done in this case and I should just disregard the emails.

I now ask you, HN, what can _we_ as developers, do to prevent this from happening on our services? Limit the amount of password reset requests for an account? (still doesn't solve the issue), etc.. As I, genuinely, have not managed to come up with a solution.
