Seeking work - Remote
I'm a passionate full-stack software developer with 10+ years experience in web and desktop development. I have experience managing projects and teams and consulting. In my years in the industry I’ve been involved in a variety of software companies as a developer focusing in sharpening my skills. I love to work with unfamiliar technologies and am always up for projects that require me to learn something new. I want to keep learning and growing as a software developer, working in challenging endeavors and using all my experience to improve the product and the team I work with.

Nothing. And good luck finding their worldwide "cold storage" locations. They're apparently not in the United States, and not required to disclose them to any regulator.
It is a skill, and is often trained or realised by people in a leadership position: stop doing, start reflecting. Spend your working time reflecting about what's going around you (and the hope is, answers will flow). That doesn't mean meditating in your office, but making the time and having the freedom to think (and, sometimes, experiment, sometimes wildly).

This is harder to so in some environments, but often, the more one goes up a ladder of influence, the easier it becomes (self efficiency, delegation, understanding of employer or sponsor).

I have no idea regarding VCs, but in large companies a common formula is:
Managers: 10% of time for reflection
Managers of managers: 20-30% of time
Managers of managers of managers and further through the tree: 60% of time

This power of reflection increases clarity in decision, communication, and impact, whatever the field. Contrast this with the need to constantly fight fires with no time to think about the big picture.

Often, it doesn't work out this way. Lack of delegation, filling more than one role at the same time ('stretch goals' that really mean the organisation is under resourced), desire for immediate impact stop this from working.
Actually in your example, the repo could be argued to be a "mere listing" of the possible colored grids, which is not copyrightable.
What about a spirograph, or folding paper and a book about origami?
Is this the same guy who claimed that obamas election would force him personally to raise pizza prices and layoff workers?

Yup.

The research paper authors also posted a python package on GitHub that generates these reports: https://github.com/responsibleproblemsolving/energy-usage
Twelve years ago I had my card number and PIN logged at a point of sale inside a shop. The authorities caught the ring and determined what happened was the shop was burgled a week before and a week after. The first time the thieves took a few items and swapped the card reader out for a compromised one. Then they burgled it again and swapped it back, now laden with hundreds of card numbers and pins.
I thought this was going to be "Don't write 50KLOC if 2KLOC will do", but it's actually "Buy, don't build".

IMHE, the latter is often ambiguous and hard to evaluate, even after the fact. The former is virtually always a good idea.
At least LibreOffice runs on Linux/Windows
Maybe it's my fault if I didn't explain it well enough, but you don't seem to understand the point I'm making. What I was responding to wasn't whether Google was right or wrong (though I think they're wrong), but instead why it's worth it for lots of people to improve their workplace rather than just quit.

Earlier today: "I saw you spun up an Ubuntu instance on Azure...". (I'm not super paranoid but I find the timing funny).
Yeah, I hope internally they projected how many people were dying on the CAPTCHA, how many were believed to be bots, and then looked at the results through those filters.
That would be like saying a service that blacked out the ads in news papers is theft, its completely rubbish. Plus educate yourself on the definition of theft:

"theft is the taking of another person's property without that person's permission or consent with the intent to deprive the rightful owner of it."

At best its unauthorized modification of a creative work without distributing it, which is not illegal and never will be.
Agreed. Groovy is in my opinion absolutely the nicest and friendliest language to read or write. Scala has some really cool features that I would love to see in other languages, but it also has a tendency to become somewhat unreadable and is a lot harder to get into when you're new to it.
But where in the blockchain. It's multiple gigabytes, isn't it?
> I don't know who you are

Info on my profile page.

> but your rude comments are distracting

That wasn't a rude comment, but yours certainly is. The typical format of these scripts is a bunch of documentation, a bunch of setup and then between 2 and 10 imagemagick calls to do the actual work.
Where's the law that says I have to view web content as it's creators intend? You send me a stream of data, I decide what to do with it, what parts to render, what parts to ignore.
Cool. Brings back memories of implementing various jump instructions and carry prediction adders (do adds twice, pick result based on actual carry later) (I recall I had the smallest microprogram in the course class and it used the fewest microcycles by far... everyone hated me. :)

Would it be nice to be able to access the carry in and carry out as "variables", as well as the full imul/idiv if i.e. 32 args -> 64 bit full-precision results without dropping down into assembly. Perhaps it's unreasonable, but it seems there are few limited differences per generic instruction across processors that assuming they are all each "special unique snowflakes" is obviously untrue FUD.

Understanding architecture / assembly comes in handy to replace high-level branching code with branch-free code to avoid pipeline stalls when branch predictions (eg the branch prediction infrastructure) is guessing incorrectly. Also, being able to go down the stack is really helpful because there are most definitely bugs the way down.
Perhaps, but the languages you mention all have clones on the JVM: Groovy/JRuby, Jython, Clojure, etc. Changing languages doesn't mean throwing away your environment and previous creations anymore.
When I opened the email I actually expected to read a sad story about someone losing his arms and legs because of a startup failure.

Dude, don't speak like that, at least you've still got your arms and legs ;-)
I'm not saying it can't be done. In fact the multipart parser we have build for transloadit has already been ported to C++ [1] and I imagine Java has decent libraries as well.

But most people just sit on a request/response oriented Python/Ruby/PHP stack with possibly stupid buffering load balancing in between (nginx buffers uploads).

If you build this from ground up, it is certainly possible with a lot of technologies.

Nice UI.

Can they pledge not to use images to render text?
Uh, isn't a pound-per-square-inch a pressure? A foot-pound-per-square-inch is a rather odd unit of energy.
I highly recommend Make It Stick. Spaced repetition, testing effect, effortful learning, retrieval training, constructing mental models... it's chock full.
Having a platform to express whatever you want is not a "human right."

And political affiliation is not a protected class under the Civil Rights Act.

If you go on a political tirade, I have every right to kick you out of my home. Or office. Or restaurant. Or app.
"'What we need is not more programmers. What we need is to enable non-programmers to participate in the creation process, not just the ideation process,' says Kenneth Kan, CTO of a company called Pixbi and a recent convert to flow-based programming."

Could not disagree more. I'm so tired of these initiatives to "get everyone coding!" Everyone can't be a programmer, just like everyone can't be a doctor and everyone can't be a mechanic. There are certain skills, mindsets, and desires that drive people to do what they do.
What happened when they tried it?
I think the anti-circumvention provisions of the DMCA are not technically copyright infringement, but sui generis prohibitions on breaking digital locks. That said, contributory copyright liability is a judge made doctrine, so it's possible one could analogize and attempt the same thing with the DMCA, but I'm not sure if anyone has done it, or if a judge would ever accept it. It would probably depend on the facts of the case at hand.

(Disclaimer: I could be wrong about all of the above.)
So what? It enables so many pathologies.

Company is an asset, can be a liability, consists of people, is basic unit of economy that the whole strength of capitalism is funded on. It's so many things more than just an asset.
Please see a good financial professional (not a bank employee). You don't need to struggle through this alone.

Any FP worth their salt should be able to make you significantly more than you pay them. And they will help you set your financial goals and reach them.

My mom is an FP and she would sort you right out. That stress and uncertainty would be gone.
The problem is that google refuse to fix bugs that allow fingerprinting. Those bugs can be years old!!
This is why we need laws that force devs to fix privacy and security bugs or pay HUGE!!! fines. Hit them where it hurts.
If each unfixed bug costs them 25% of the company's total worth per MONTH while it remains unfixed I bet they will fix them very fast. The dev tools window is still detectable by malicious javascript on sites. That stops and hides when the dev tools window is detected. I am certain google use that detection for their malicious behavior too. Why else drag their feet? They are hypocritical. First they are anal-retentive about security and on the other hand they ignore bugs for years.

Not to mention the double standard google have. Long ago they fixed chrome to detect auto-installed extensions when you installed other software and yet google is doing the same bloody thing themselves. Try it yourself on a fresh new profile and check the extension page and the extension folder. Extensions are auto installed without permission. Manually removing them doesn't work either. They will be reinstalled.

Edit: Speaking the truth will get you down voted. It's hilarious people down vote instead of coming with a counter argument. Perhaps they are so annoyed because they can't make a legitimate excuse for that nasty malicious behavior.
> reading is just a hobby. It's a fun, intellectually challenging, infinitely variable hobby with a very long and distinguished history. But ultimately you could learn just as much about yourself and the world by doing pottery, woodworking, kayaking, knitting or whatever else you like to do with your spare time. Making it into such a self-serious pursuit kills most of the joy (and value, for that matter)

Definitely, but reading is easier :)
I'm a game dev, and I work on high-performance websites in my spare time (e.g. https://noclip.website/#mkwii/beginner_course ). It's actually possible to make stuff that runs fast in "mostly-compatible VMs for a dynamically-typed scripting language never designed for anything more important than making buttons light up when you hover over them" if you actually try. But Google does not, so we end up with gmail.
The legal argument is not about Google's tracking in the abstract, but about whether is is misleading users in how they describe Incognito mode. As of today, the Incognito mode screen says loudly that that Chrome won't record your activity, not that Google won't record your activity, so I think it's a hard argument that users were deliberately misled.
That's a pretty vague and ultimately meaningless distinction. You use a Google product that says it's not going to track you, and then it tracks you and sends your data to Google's servers.

The fact that the link to Google's servers is on "other websites" doesn't really change the basic reality of what is happening.
And just when your faith in humanity is restored a little bit, there's always someone just around the corner to drag you back down.

I fall into this trap myself sometimes, but it's becoming more and more important to take in active stance in fighting your cynicism, even if it means losing some face to the trolls of the world.
It’s not just about being small, it’s about doing more with less.

It did bother me when I got passed off via email, pretty much "This is our guy X. I'm going to let these guys take care of you now".

That said, I don't think they're bad people at all, just a crazy busy startup.
>>irony is Chrome OS holds the potential for IT departments to make your life even more miserable

That is, when IT Teams in those places themselves are aware of playing around well with those systems.

IMHO, banks (like where jrockway is employed) or BigCorp Inc (where I am) have IT teams comprised of subcontracting teams with MCSE types, hired precisely because their CTC is far less than average. Am pretty sure most of those teams would never (or even allowed to) take the pain of hacking up and altering OSes for that company's needs (blocking USBs/CD-ROMs, limiting privileges to ridiculous levels etc), when they could do it the easy way in Win XP or Win 7 installations.
1,760 PS3s 50,000 times faster then average consumer laptop. Even adding PS3 GPU power this statement looks like exaggeration.
Yes, I don't hold any resentment against them for hiring my friend. Good engineers are always in demand everywhere. At the time I initiated contact with them, my friend had just started working, so the chance of hiring him was slim. It happened over time I guess.
NuGram (www.grammarserver.com) is a hosted platform used to host and share speech recognition grammars (both static and dynamic, i.e. grammar templates) for use by hosted IVR platforms (Tropo, Voxeo Prophecy, etc.) It's totally free, although it's not really meant for production use as of now. If you need it in production, please contact me at dominique DOT boucher AT nuecho DOT com.

From it's companion site, nugram.nuecho.com, you can also download a complete Eclipse-based grammar development environment (NuGram IDE) from which you can upload your grammars to NuGram Server.

Regarding the opacity of the site, maybe we could work on that... We are very open to constructive comments!

See, static typing won't help you there!
I love this company. They just get it.
If America were capable of doing that in the common-sense manner you imply, it wouldn't need a written constitution.

Since when did the market price for books reflect the effort put in by the author?
Well I have never worked with MathJax but from the cursory glance it looks like all you need to do is add js files and you can do that in specter.
> You could say their opinion is more educated than mine, but you could also say they have a conflict of interest; it's their job to get a positive result.

I really don't think it's possible to accuse a solicitor of having a conflict of interest with her own client. If she wanted to try and push for a better result, surely she would have framed it as a travesty of justice and not used the word 'victory' in any way.

> By which I mean, what might the authorities otherwise want to do with the materials that they are now prevented from doing?

Search them for evidence of other criminal offences? For example if his laptop contained pictures of him doing drugs, or possessing firearms, or any of the myriad potential crimes anyone could have committed.
> I really think I’m building a multibillion dollar company

AWESOME! :-D
Yes, Windows has a stable driver API you can build upon.

Linux does not, because they want all drivers to be inlined (included in the kernel) and open source. nVidia does not want to release their trade secrets, so they don't want to open source their drivers.

(No idea about macOS)
Way ahead of you here.

And regardless of how https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/ROCm pans out, at least you're not sinking skills into a proprietary jail.
I agree there's likely some selection bias as you mentioned. I think the strength of his writing is the biggest factor though.
I used to live close to a fairly busy street, just off the Square Mile and see ca. 1 traffic accident per month.

In most cases, the person laying flat on the pavement was a delivery driver (with an "L" printed on the bike).

Amazon's subcontracting model is not much different in that regard, imo.

This makes it super easy to mock filesystem access when testing your code. It's worth using it for that reason alone.
The real question to me is not whether it's slow or fast, but whether those parts of Perl 6 that are included in Rakudo Star are stable, in terms of the language itself. I see no point in looking at any of this until I can feel secure that the parts of the Perl 6 language being included in such a release are finalized, and won't be changed in six months or a year.
> it all seems like different math/bit/word operations get randomly mashed up and repeated for several rounds

Honestly think you have it down. /s

Need to add some S-Boxes, P-Boxes and SP-Boxes though. The post-quantum stuff people are proposing now gets a bit hairy mathematically but lattices and their hardness properties are fairly easy to understand.

Gimli is a cool place to start for anyone wanting to dip their toes in the water.

It's a permutation in 30 lines or so. Building a cryptographic hash out of it is another 30 sloc.

Anything without vocals is fine - lots of early 90’s techno idm and ambient music. I also listen to a lot of boiler room and NTS radio - though I skip any bits with talking or lyrics.
His foundation is a significant player in the non-profit & NGO world. Whether you like him or not, his influence extends far beyond tech.
What about including a "busybox for windows"? Just the core utilities. Common dev tools like git and node already have command-line versions for Windows that work pretty much the same as the other versions
I thank each of you for your thoughts. And its my fault for not getting to the next part of my story yet.

I believe there are good chiropractors despite my experience. I ended up finding a few who I believe have been able to reverse some the damage done prior.

To me there are good and bad doctors
Good and bad chiropractors
Good and bad attorneys
Good and bad financial advisors (I was one for a short period into 9/11)

Shop around is my advice.

To the OP topic I would use any financial assistance first to address my spinal cord injury as opposed to further developing the RTS game mod I am creating.

And I guess my segment is no exception...there are good and bad homeless too.

We gotta look deeper than the labels!
Im not an expert, but i think it comes down to knowing how to break ciphers, and not doing any of those things.

Most symmetric block ciphers involve something along the lines of mixing in the (sub) key, some linear permutations, some non-linear permutations, then repeat all 3 in many "rounds"

You may also be interested in reading about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feistel_cipher and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substitution%E2%80%93permutati... which are generic designs for the parts of a block cipher.
Yes, where should I email you? Or Twitter for DM?
No. But if you say "I forget" and "they" don't believe you and a judge/jury doesn't believe you then you can likely be convicted and imprisoned for perjury and/or criminal contempt.
90% of the risk in airplane travel is the takeoffs and landings, not the miles travelled. IIRC it came out to each airplane trip was as dangerous as ~30 miles of driving, meaning any trip that is normally offered by an airline is noticeably safer.
Would love to see this protocol for email as well.
Because anyone with half a clue knows that anything you put on the Internet isn't safe. Law bound or otherwise, lol
It's for hackers. It just dying is not what happens to most of us -- but even if it happened to you, you should be able to short it out. Have you checked the console output for example? Have you installed another version of Java? etc..
Why haven't I heard of this journal? Looks great.
Most Oxbridge dons have some kind of education.

;-)

But iirr the idea is existing tour guides can do it without their current agency getting involved.
The free markets are mythical because they're not allowed to happen. Single payer is a horrible idea. Why would you trust a centralized agency (which can be bribed and corrupted so easily) with such an essential service? The government purchasing healthcare from outside organizations is bound to be overrun with special interests and obscene contracts (like we see with the military). I want to be able to vote with my wallet; I don't want a single entity, especially one that can levy taxes and borrow massive amounts of money from the Fed, to have a monopoly. The State will then just choose winners and losers, make certain activities illegal so we can't test alternatives, etc. I just don't see how that can end well.
> This idea changed how I thought about fitness. The simple reality is that you control vastly more calories through what you eat than what you burn through exercise

Learn to do your job correctly by experimenting. Read other people's code. Write other people's code. Learn by doing. Learn by failing.

One of the things that I believe is incredibly important is a feedback cycle. Do a thing. See if it worked. Reflect on what you learned doing that thing.

And most importantly, ignore any feedback that starts with "You're doing it wrong." But listen carefully to anyone who says "Here's how I'd do it."

This is how I learned software development. I wrote crappy things and placed them before people I respected. And these people gave me exactly what I just explained..

You're a junior developer - there are so many people willing to help you out and learn, if you ask.

Enjoy software development!
