SEEKING WORK | Mexico City / Remote | Senior Full-Stack Developer with excellent communication skills

Technologies: NodeJS/Express, Rails, React/Vue/Solid, Dart/Flutter, Native HTML Web Components, Terraform, Kubernetes, Serverless, Firebase, Typescript, Rich Text Editors, Stripe

Résumé/CV: https://hottest.hot.page

Email: twfarnam at gmail.com

Hey, I'm Tim, a senior fullstack developer from New York, now based in Mexico. I have more than 12 YoE on all kinds of web apps as well as mobile and server environments. I love backend and APIs, but I have a passion for pixel-perfect UIs and frontend magic. I have built many of my own projects from start to finish so I have learned a lot about good UX/UI, can choose the best technologies for the job, spot problems before they arrive and write solid tests. My prior career in journalism made me a great communicator and writer. I also enjoy devops and managing servers using Linux, Docker and Kubernetes. I have built many apps on AWS and Google Cloud, including using Terraform for infra and Github Actions for CI/CD.

Right now, I have a side hustle bootstrapping Hot Page (https://hot.page) and releasing native HTML web components as part of my open source project HotFX (https://fx.hot.page).

Almost all of that was an increase in stock price. That's about as close as you can get to just sitting in a vault. If he were selling it and using the money for something else, that would be one thing, but he's really not using much of it.

This is not to say it's his fault. That's how our laws are written. But that is the point of OP. That our policies should be forcing him to sell and put that money back into the economy.

People who haven't inherited wealth can slowly accumulate capital in their properties, especially if prices are rising. They can use this to part-finance further property purchases.

This is the model most Anglophone countries adopt. However, what most miss in this model is that the cost of doing so is much greater than they realize. The most obvious extra cost is the interest paid on mortgages, which can amount to 2-3 times the value of the property by the time the mortgage is fully paid.

A further cost is politically imposed, in that governmental policies will avoid making homes more affordable, as this is perceived as a "loss" by many mortgage-holders and home owners.

> he has filled Microsoft with average people. The best fresh graduates from the top colleges went to Google and Facebook in the last decade

Is there a way to demonstrate that this actually mattered? That paying more did get them “better” talent that actually made a difference? Ie. not any self serving “they did because they’re better and they’re better because they were paid more.”

No one is looking at this issue correctly. Saying out of the AI "talent war" is a smart move. AI is due to collapse under its own weight.

1) High-quality training data is effectively exhausted. The next 10× scale model would need 10× more tokens than exist.

2) The Chinchilla rule. Hardware gets 2× cheaper every 18 mo, but model budgets rise 4× in that span. Every flagship LLM therefore costs 2× more than the last, while knock-off models appear years later for pennies. Benchmark gains shrink and regulation piles on. Net result: each new dollar on the next big LLM now buys far less payoff. The "wait-and-copy" option is getting cheaper every day.

Good question - I am just putting up robots.txt, and seeing little to no decrease in traffic. I have not tried verifying that server logs user agent corresponds to specific IP addresses. Do you have resources where all the AI bots post their list of IP addresses? Would be easier to just ban by IP completely. From what I've read these bots rotate and use residential blocks so I am not sure I can even see all of them.

Twitter/X is what one makes of it. The algorithm is easy to tune to your personal interests. And with Grok available on every post, your options to go deeper on topics are almost infinite. I tried to use Bluesky and it was insufferable (I don't follow politics BTW).

If you don't want Twitter/X because the owner makes you sick, I respect that but it's a different topic.

Resume: http://tulon.github.io/assets/CV_Joseph_Artsimovich.pdf Website: https://tulon.github.io/ Email: joseph <dot> artsimovich <at> gmx <dot> com

I am a seasoned C++ developer with 23 years of experience in the industry. I have experience in Desktop, Embedded and Mobile development. I also did some back-end work and even some reverse engineering, though that was a while ago. I also have some ML experience (PyTorch) - also a while ago, but not that much. Most recently I've doing 3D graphics (simulation and later maps). My Linear Algebra is quite decent - I use it regularly.

My preferred next career move is independent contracting. 6-12 months contracts ideally. I will also consider permanent fully remote positions, but only quite senior ones - Staff Engineer / Architect level.

I've been fully remote since 2018 and I intend to keep it that way.

Currently building data analytics platform for agricultural customers; previously connectivity/control/update for IoT devices. I think I'm good at understanding and adapting to a new business domain, and enjoy that learning opportunity. I believe we build better software with a better understanding of the context it operates in.

Have done & can do full-stack work (helped current company grow from three engineers and through acquisition) but lean towards backend/infrastructure in expertise. Currently platform technical lead (IC).

MEng EE & CS blend. (No professional EE experience, but somewhat maintained as a hobby.) 8y post-intern experience in web software.

Looking for something new to sink my teeth into in an organisation with room to grow. Remote opportunities only please, and that I'm eligible for residing in the UK & as a British citizen, though I'm perfectly willing to travel for particular events/big meetings. Cheers!

I disagree. It will be harder to monetize MIT licensed projects, because any competitor can just grab and run. With AGPLv3, at least legally the competitor needs to publish their modifications as well. This in turn makes it more likely the competitor will not use your code, or if they do, in accordance with the license, which would be fine, and users of the product you build will mostly not care, because they don't even know what the licenses are about.

> For every degree Celsius of warming, global food production is likely to decline by 120 calories per person per day.

This is alarming but I think some nuance has been deliberately skipped. I just can’t believe that we will simply produce less food because of temperature increase. Last 40 years are counter examples.

Does it really account for the ability to account for increased demand in food? More money will be shifted to food production etc.

AI will subvert and destroy Amazon's internal management culture, where status is gatekept by who can write the best 6-page reports to read before the meeting!

Or more likely -- Amazon management knows just how hard writing actually is, how hard to produce something with clarity and signal instead of just common-knowledge cliches, and so they understand that this LLM wave is overhyped. They're letting the other big players do the hard work, and effectively selling LLMs short by abstaining from the race.

Harbor has its pain points but it is infinitely easier to get up and running compared to crufty Artifactory.

One glaring omission is lack of support for proxy docker.io without the project name i.e pulling nginx:latest instead of /myproject/nginx/nginx:latest

The workaround involves URL rewrite magic in your proxy of choice

Indeed, I wrote "prior to 10/7" in my completely accurate statement that prior to 10/7 Gaza was not an open-air prison. I pointed out that there were roughly 500,000 exits per year from Gaza to Egypt and Israel in this period. The reason I mentioned this is because people justify the 10/7 massacre as some sort of freedom fighting operation where people were breaking out of a prison.

Thanks for defining the word "mention," brother, knowing this definition really addresses the central issue and refutes my central point.

SEEKING FREELANCER | Seattle, Remote fine, any timezone

Senior Role:

C# and Python: If you have XAF experience (and preferably already have a DevExpress license?) AND some LLM API (Semantic Kernel or direct) experience, talk to me about some mainstream LOB work. WinForms and Blazor, document processing/OCR workflow, light deployment/devops tasks, integrating Python and C# based workflows.

---

Junior Role:

Front-end JS (including ThreeJS/Babylon) and light Python backend work, LLM API's. Set up cloud services, create/maintain a web/social media presence, some marketing/'growth hacking' tasks, writing docs/consumer text. Probably a good fit for someone who's working on their own micro-SaaS.

I have 8 years of experience, and I'm comfortable working on both greenfield and brownfield projects. I do well with detail-oriented work. I have 14.7k reputation on StackOverflow and have answered over 300 questions there, mostly on .NET-related topics. (The link to my SO profile is on my CV.)

I'm looking for a senior full stack or senior backend role. I was unable to work following issues during the pandemic, which are now resolved, but I'm rarely getting to talk with anyone to be considered for interviews; AI rejects my CV outright. I'm stuck in an algorithmic prison.

Despite the length of break, my knowledge is current. If you need convincing of that, I recently got through the whole interview process at Moneybox for a senior backend role, which is pretty much the only interview I've had. Although they hired someone else, they spent a week trying to allocate extra budget to hire me. Unfortunately, that didn't happen, and so here I am.

If you aren't hiring, but know someone who is, I'd appreciate you sharing my details with them. I can start straight away. If anyone has any advice to help break out of the AI auto rejections, I'd also appreciate it if you'd contact me via email. Thanks for reading.

Agreed. There was similar discussion around "the free and open web" on this thread some days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45066258

I think some people lose sight of the difference between the theoretical possibility of competing forks/implementations/services and the practical possibility. If a big enough organization gets ahold of something and begins to drive it, the fact that it's nominally open source may not be enough to ensure that people have a practical ability to get out from under that organization. In other words you need not just openness of "information" but actual open space to maneuver in the real world of food and money and markets and so on.

In many cases for-profit companies have taken up (or created) open source tools and made use of them in ways that still benefited the community at large. But it's not clear to me that FOSS licenses as we know them actually guarantee that. It doesn't seem unreasonable to me to want to build safeguards against open source software being weaponized or co-opted for unfree purposes.

One thing that's not clear from the Bearblog dev's post is whether he would be open to small-scale "competitors" who share an ethos similar to his own. In theory such competitors could be granted special license exceptions. If I were in his position I could see myself wanting to exclude big companies (and companies that hope to become big) while allowing small operators. The challenge is to create an enforceable license that encodes that, rather than requiring the author to manually approve or deny each request.

Hi! As a passionate engineer in the beginning of my career, I am actively seeking opportunities in software development and adjacent fields. My areas of expertise include: DevOps--to help you secure and scale your business, Full Stack Web Development--to bring more accessible services to people, Linguistics--to localize products for new markets. Technology is my lifelong field of interest, study and practice, with focus on web development, localization, user experience, security and systems engineering. As for my linguistic background, it helps me see more ways tech is being used internationally to let me account for much more perspectives with my solutions.

Well, one issue with the app store solution at my workplace is that you can still download anything, even if you can't install it. And executables can still be executed even from your downloads folder. Or your personal bin folder. So preventing people from executing unknown apps is not going to work that way.

But then again, we write and execute our own code, so of course we have to be able to execute unknown code.

The whole thing feels like an exercise in futility to me. It would make more sense to specify what rights a specific application should have. Let me approve the external urls it wants to visit, the folders it wants to access, etc. Shield everything else off.

I'm genuinely confused by your comment.

Yes, PM's are absolutely supposed to know that much more about what the customers need. That's their job. They're constantly talking to customers; engineers are generally doing that only occasionally, if ever. They're not trying to be the "main character", but their entire job is to be the point person for integrating all the stakeholders' needs and making prioritization decisions. It's organizational needs, not ego-driven.

Sometimes products are simple and straightforward enough where you don't really need a dedicated PM, but then the lead engineer often just winds up informally taking on the same responsibility, and at some point there's enough success and complexity that it needs to become a full-time dedicated position.

I'm really curious how you've arrived at the perspective that engineers and data scientists know as much about customer needs as a PM, that they learned via channels outside of the PM? I've certainly never worked anywhere where that was the case.

>decrypting things like 4K Netflix content, among other things, generally requires you to have something like a Widevine L1 CDM from one of the Netflix-approved devices, which typically sits in those hardware trusted execution environments, so you need an active valuable exploit or insider leaks from someone at one of the manufacturers.

Or just use a cheap Chinese HDMI splitter that strips HDCP 2.2 and record the 4K video with a simple HDMI capture device.

But if you are talking about preserving media or making media accessible, then it's not like we NEED 4K.

Could you just cheat and render part of larger square map (with top wrapped to bottom and left wrapped to right) inside a circle and deform it so it just gives illusion but isn't really a sphere?

Quick experiments in blender show me that you can create a cube, then use subdivision modifier to get a fake sphere like the one in the article. Then put camera close to the surface and give it very low focal length. This way it looks like a sphere but the strange points where 3 quads meet are way out of the view so I basically see just one face of 6 sided sphere.

If I now textured this side so that it displays roughly 50% of the square texture containing the world map and scrolled and rotated the texture as I try to "rotate" the sphere I should pretty much not be able tell it from a real sphere but have a 100% normal 2d square Minecraft grid on top of it.

It looks quite nice, even and natural:

https://postimg.cc/XXNgCYF8

Texturing is a bit weird because polar caps are just two regions of the world with stuff in between them in all directions so you need to put them at the right distance and size them properly so they show up. And even then they disappear as you rotate the world by scrolling in W-E direction. To make them visible at all times, you'd need to make them half of your world. Which might be fine for your game to have vast, icy biome connecting north and south of your planet. Or even two separate zones of the planet separated by northern and southern walls of ice.

https://postimg.cc/34GCKkDj

I'm not sure how well lightning is going to work with such low focal length but it might be fine.

There are a couple main ways to achieve a workflow similar to Git's staging area.

#1: Squashing

Create a revision for the feature, then create another revision atop that.
