Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: Yes

Technologies: Python, Pandas/Numpy, Jupyter, JS/TS and something many devs skip: actually talking to users.

Résumé/CV: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paddymullen/

Email: paddy@paddymullen.com

I'm a developer who believes code isn't valuable unless it's used. That's why I start with conversations, not commits. I work to understand real problems before reaching for shiny new packages. I build tools that are simple, effective, and easy to adopt. My goal is always to solve the problem and make sure people know there’s a solution.

In my next role, I'm looking to work with a team that values clarity and impact. I'm especially interested in data heavy environments where thoughtful tooling can make workflows better.

Most recently, I built [Buckaroo](https://github.com/paddymul/buckaroo) an open source data table for Jupyter using Pandas/Polars. It combines fast rendering, summary stats, and a low-code UI. It scratches an itch I've had for over a decade and has already streamlined my own analysis workflow.

>A single message often needs to be in several different folders simultaneously

Just No. This is by far my biggest complaint of using Gmail.

It makes it impossible to write rules to file mail into folders as all you can do is add tags (labels). Whereas to _move_ you require the ability to unset and label which tags/labels don't support as thats a definining function of a folder.

Make Email Great Again! Now thats a campaign i'd be willing to fund!

I agree with you completely about the trend which has been going on for years. And it's usually used to trivialize the vast expanse between humans and LLMs.

In this case though it's a pretty weird and hard job to create a context dynamically for a task, cobbling together prompts, tool outputs, and other LLM outputs. This is hard enough and weird enough that you can often end up failing to make text that even a human could make sense of to produce the desired output. And there is practical value to taking a context the LLM failed at and checking if you'd expect a human to succeed.

Maybe I'm wrong, I hope I am, but it feels like the boats out for micro payments. To me at least, it feels like for this system to work you want to have something like what PAYG phones have with top-ups. You "put a tenner on your internet", and sites use that in the form of micro payments. Had that been the case since the start, it could've worked great, but now the amount of infrastructure and buy-in required to make that work, it just feels like we missed the chance.

Here is the compatibility table for ECMAScript 6 features by vendor.

https://compat-table.github.io/compat-table/es6/

Chrome is currently unable to support a feature that was added to JavaScript in 2015 for ECMAScript 6.

The reason given was something about proper tail calls being beyond the technical capabilities of the teams involved.

If the code in or surrounding Chrome and its underlying V8 engine are currently so unmaintainable that the teams cannot incorporate a JavaScript feature from 10 years ago, then the cost of merely maintaining the C++ codebase is too high.

The all-or-nothing, now-or-never framing makes the change feel more intimidating than it would be in practice. Mozilla's strategy is to incrementally use Rust more and more in their C++ codebase. I don't know what Chrome's plan is, but the fact that Mozilla is able to make progress is an indication that it isn't impossibly expensive to do better. Mozilla is a non-profit, while Google's Q1 2025 revenue was $77.3 billion.

> Did you see the post years back about a Rust program that exhibited the Heartbleed bug?

Do you remember the actual Heartbleed bug?

> 20 to 30 million lines

In my own experience, seasoned engineers often remind me that every line of code is a liability. Tens of millions of lines of C++ that work closely with the internet sounds like quite the surface area.
Ask HN: Shared Calendar Recommendations
by iugtmkbdfil834 | 2025-07-01 16:03:20+00:00
Family life is slowly starting to make my planning efforts more complicated especially now as kid is growing up and we both juggle multiple hats. As a result, what I think I want to do is have a shared calendar for my family, but with the following restrictions:

- not bound to google/apple ecosystem ( I can move it around as needed ) - can be self-hosted

PS. I am not asking this question, because there are no options. The issue is there are too many and I just need something simple that will work on both android and apple ( and I don't want to keep testing 20+ projects ).
by HardCodedBias | 2025-07-01 16:03:28+00:00
The central argument is that the importance of prompt "tricks"—essentially empirical workarounds for current LLM limitations will decline as the technology matures.

The truly valuable and future-proof skill is "context engineering". This focuses on providing the LLM with the information required to reason through the task at hand. Although current LLMs present a trade-off between the size of the context and the quality of the output, this is a constraint that we can expect to lessen with future advancements.

Because there are some things that the market just won't do effectively. Basic science that takes decades to pay off is a good example. Somebody has to understand the biology so that decades later someone else can build a product.

Private foundations can pay for some of it - a lot of the green revolution was funded by the Rockefeller Foundation - but they don't have the resources of the federal government, and you're relying on the whim of a single family or individual.

Government-funded basic research has worked out really well for the US.

MacOS is not easy to use. I don't know why people keep echoing the sentiment, it's opinionated in ways that make little sense and refuses to copy Windows' few features that are actually good. And whenever I find a legitimate OS issue, people say I should either spend $15/year on an app that works around the issue or wait for a MacOS update to fix it. It's a user experience that looks like a parody compared to Windows or even Linux.

I have to assume Apple just doesn't care about the Mac anymore. New Macs run the iPhone chips with mobile-tier UI padding, smartphone-grade driver support and the iPhone's design language.

The more I read this, the more I feel like web attestation is going to be suggested as a way to prove AI bots vs humans.

They've been trying to push this through for a while now (to some moderate success). This may be the final push they are looking for to get it more thoroughly integrated in the web as a whole.

I know it wasn't mentioned anywhere here, but it's the silent part that fits this puzzle piece really well.

Funny, Xfinity has been spamming me for months now trying to get me to get off my own hardware and onto theirs. Promising me vague "speed improvements" (and of course without ever bothering to provide a single piece of data about how/why speed would be improved, or by how much). No, no I don't think I will.

A tech startup, Frontier Valley, wants Donald Trump to sign an executive order to "Reclaim the federal plot of land in West Alameda and will approve of the immediate development of Frontier Valley". This includes a 512 acre plot in West Alameda that will have housing for up to 10,000 residents, 3M square feet of office space, 5M square feet of manufacturing space, and an 80 acre waterfront park with views of San Francisco.

"This zone aims to offer the most expedited regulatory code in the US for accelerating deeptech breakthroughs in verticals that are critical to US national security and technological supremacy."

I have my own thoughts. What are yours?

After reading:

It turns out I didn't grasp what the authors meant by "colorful signals". They're talking specifically about vivid colors that serve an evolutionary purpose, and in that case it seems rather clear that vision would have to come first. That is in fact also what turns out to be the findings.

While the article is a fun and light read about some scientists doing some literature review to try and approximate when color as a signal evolved, I'm afraid the error bars are so large it's hard to find any certainty.

The article does end with some speculation that vivid color can't actually evolve without eyes that produce a natural selection bias, since vivid color takes effort to construct. That claim of course has the same efficacy problems as what the article is mainly dealing with, but I do find it somewhat convincing, and have lowered my certainty that vivid colors actually evolved first.

Yes, dogs can think and make choices, learn from experience, solve problems (like opening doors or finding hidden treats), and adapt to new situations.

The reason I mentioned my dog is because, even though dogs have limited intelligence compared to humans, my dog thinks he's better at playing ball than me. What he doesn't know is that I let him win because it makes him feel in control.

>no incentive to represent the civically disengaged

THATS LITERALLY THE JOB.

You are literally arguing that if I got a job at a bank and started stealing the deposits it would be ok because I had no incentive not to.

Actually now that I think about it you are also reinforcing my point. Sodom and Gomorrah. You yourself have such poor moral compass that when another person acts maliciously you give them a pass because of course that's what they would do. Because its also what you would do because you also have no moral compass.

The city could not be saved. Not because "god" destroyed it but because the people themselves destroyed it. No good people existed there.

That’s not a direct comparison. Toyota sells hybrid and non hybrid corolla’s and the hybrids are cheaper to own @ 5 years here.

>Why can't Apple set whatever pricing they want?

Same reason any company can't set whatever they want. Vast majority of companies aren't deemed monopolies so this doesn't apply to them but this restriction holds over them once they grow to a certain size nonetheless. Even the most ardent capitalists/free market advocates agree that monopolies have to be regulated by the government.

The real questions are what makes company a monopoly. You can always argue you aren't a monopoly but it's what convinces people that makes most sense and many people are beginning to be convinced that Apple/Google etc are monopolies in certain markets.

Someone in 2000 would not have done your proposed strategy unless they could name 100 .com like tech companies from 1975 that, if you had invested $1 million dollars in, would have returned 24% over the previous 25 years.

If the idea is just look at what worked 25 years ago, the 2000 investor would probably have followed a different approach.

> The models are then trained to (hopefully) treat the system prompt delimited tokens as more influential on how the rest of the input is treated.

I can't find any study that compares putting the same initial prompt in the system role versus in the user role. It is probably just position bias, i.e. the models can better follow the initial input, regardless of whether it is system prompt or user prompt.

Hey, I'm one of the dev's; English isn't any of our first language, The Code is all human written (at least the bootstrap compiler is mostly by me), but the documentation README, and parts like commit messages and such are written by ChatGPT or GitLens's AI Commit Message Generator. But on another note the docs are quite outdated, We only posted on reddit to get an opinion, didn't except it to reach other places as well... But we are now working on rewriting the docs completely. Without AI initially but then with AI to make the English better, If anyone notices any weird things in there, please either do a PR or let us know to change it...

But also yes passing a null value into a non-questionable would lead to NPE however if the type has a questionable operator then that function would be used (like for strings, a questionable null string type is just a blank string, in which case using it with or without questionable doesn't make a difference).

IMHO the ORM was an unfortunate choice for trying to develop a generalization about abstractions.

SQL's declarative model has an impedance mismatch with imperative programming, ORMs attempt to deal with that mismatch.

SQL hides complexity but Codd's goals when developing the relational model was to allow non programmers to access data.

The design decisions and tradeoff analysis was massively different than just an abstraction targeting developers.

There are many different persistence models that have vastly different tradeoffs, costs and benefits.

Balancing integration and disintegration drivers are complex and can impact optimization in many ways.

It is kind of interesting that military, law enforcement and intelligence types wouldn't simply assume going in that well funded adversaries have these sorts of capabilities.

It's like the advice I would give to anyone, assume anything you put into a networked digital device, your voice, text, gps trails, oven temperature, anything.. is public, with an unknown publish date. Full stop. Plan your organization's operations in accordance with that assumption.

> It did not go over my head.

> Ah, ok. I didn’t realize “series” is a specific term of art in the EV space.

You acknowledged you did not originally understand what "series" meant when I was talking about a "series hybrid". And your "reminding me" is you continuing to show you were not aware of what my usage of the word "series" meant in terms of hybrid drivetrains and instead "using it in the pure reliability domain sense". And your first comment points out you didn't get the idea that a series hybrid doesn't have a lot of the same ICE components, instead it seems you had a parallel hybrid design in mind.

> but TCO comes out about 8% lower for the Corolla

In what timeframe comparison, 5-year? How many miles? Which gas markets, is gas $3/gal or $5? What does a 10-year comparison look like? Are you including residual value on the cars after that 5-year period to see a total cost after depreciation? What does a used comparison look like? And yes, why not compare the Corolla ICE vs Corolla Hybrid, wouldn't that be a more apt comparison? One is a sedan and one is a hatch, they're different cars with different branding presence.

Looking at the numbers, drawing that out from a 5-year comparison to a 10-year comparison (or more) would probably tilt the math towards the Prius being cheaper in the end, and I'd imagine even more so at a 15-year point. But we don't actually have these numbers, and these are projections of what these cars might have in terms of TCO, not any detailed study of actual TCO.
