SEEKING WORK - Ottawa, Canada or Remote

I’m a web UI engineer based out of Ottawa with over a decade of experience, contributing to the front-end development and UI design of the clients I work with.

I’m looking to work with more companies that need help from a designer/developer hybrid. I’m farily tool/language angonistic but JavaScript, React, Node, npm ecosystem and Ruby on Rails are what I work with the most.

I’ve worked with alumni from Y Combinator, Techstars and FounderFuel. I’ve worked on battle-tested products used by Apple, Facebook, Google and many others. Everyone has seen measurable success after working with me. You should join the club! I’d love to hear about your team and product, so let’s get in touch.

All my vitals are at http://eswat.ca/
Right. Thanks for informing me. It seems that my Wordpress install got hacked again :/.

I backed up the db already; I'll scrap this site and replace it with a static one soon.
The population of the state simultaneously wanted the death penalty and to follow the Constitution. One role that the population of the state gave to judges is to referee these conflicting desires.
tbf... almost all of WinSXS is hardlinks, there is very little actual duplication. It's just that explorer doesn't understand that and reports it as duplication.
Sounds like a solution would be to rule out the luck factor and institute dedicated hackers, who aren't ultimately getting paid by the manufacturers.

The first thing that comes to mind is a governmental agency, but then that opens the government/industry watchdog collusion ball of worms.
Apple, Inc. | Cupertino, San Francisco, Seattle | Full-Time ONSITE

The Internet Services team at Apple is looking for data scientists with a drive to turn huge amounts of data into insights that enhance customer experience.

A successful candidate will have a bent for applied research with expertise in pattern mining, anomaly detection, predictive modeling, classification and optimization. If you join our team, you’ll be implementing end-to-end analytical solutions that have direct and measurable impact. The role requires both a broad knowledge of existing data mining algorithms and the creativity to invent new solutions when needed.

If interested send your resume to jstober@apple.com.
For UMTS and LTE, yes.

GSM is the problem here. Jam the others, and the phone falls back to 2g.

2g needs to die.
As a counter point: My grandfather was a carpenter too, and my family was somewhat poor, so the save everything mentality was often in play, and straddled the line between sentimentality and fiscal responsibility. I loved (and love those still alive) my family, and cherish all memories I have, but the _stuff_ I feel is more of a burden. It was genuinely hard getting rid of stuff because it was so ingrained that they had to mean something to me because of their legacy, but it was just crap that I had no use of or liked.

Once I managed to disconnect the stuff from the people/memories, I felt a huge relief just decluttering. I have maybe a book or a note from people, and of course photos, but I have procured only furniture/cuttlery/paintings/etc that I like, not those I inherited "just because". And I'd gladly see my children just chuck everything I don't have time to get rid of before I die, and hope that they remember me fondly as a person, not as someone dumping a houseful of emotional and literal baggage on them.

I'm likely projecting, and am sorry/happy if this is not your situation, but I identified up to a point and wanted to suggest to people like me that decluttering/chucking out old junk can be very relieving.
It's very easy to find a decently made heavy laptop (jut get any Dell/HP workstation, or gaming Alienware/etc), much harder to find a portable decent laptop. The main laptop's feature is its portability, else is secondary.
The WA stack machine was added late in the game. Before that it was an AST but they got pushback from browser backend people and pivoted to a stack machine.

https://github.com/WebAssembly/design/issues/755

AST was a good idea and parsing as validation was excellent. Having a general stack machine makes validation much more difficult.

This is a bad decision (stacks vs AST or register) made for the wrong reason (code size). That's a 1990s design assumption when memory was expensive and bandwidth was dear. Now memory is cheap; bandwidth is phenomenal; and latency is expensive.
I've been co-teaching a class in computing for statisticians this semester (some details on the previous iteration here https://www.refsmmat.com/posts/2016-01-22-stat-computing.htm...) and have mixed feelings about RStudio.

Most of our students use RStudio for their work. It's convenient and easy. For developing standalone scripts or functions, rather than notebooks or R Markdown files, the typical workflow is to write code in a file, then run it in the current R session by selecting pieces and hitting "Run".

But this encourages terrible practices. After a few iterations, the current environment does not reflect what's written in the file. If students write tests in a separate file, they neglect to source in their functions, because they're already in the workspace and so the tests run fine. Datasets that were loaded in the R console are used in code without being explicitly loaded there. Code gets changed without being run, or variable definitions are changed but old copies in the workspace accidentally used instead.

We end up getting many homework submissions that simply don't run if you start them in a new R session. Pieces are missing, code is out of order, tests only run if you manually select the test code and run it. It only worked in the R session of the original author.

R Markdown is a decent step, since rendering the HTML should start a session from scratch, but when we're asking them to write well-tested and modular algorithmic code, using R Markdown doesn't really fit.

I've begun to appreciate DrRacket's approach, where there is a "Definitions" pane and an "Interactions" window. When you Run the definitions, the current workspace is blown away and everything is defined from scratch from the Definitions, so there's no lingering state from REPL interactions. (Unfortunately your REPL history is lost, which can be annoying.) You can't run into the same inconsistent state as RStudio actively encourages.
If you disable hibernation then the hiberfil will disappear. With low power states in modern computers, sleep is suffice (hibernate is a relic from old Windows):

Saying we shouldn't punish anyone with the death penalty, because 1 in 25 of them will be innocent, is making a claim about n guilty men. From my link:

>Commandments for man can be found in the book of Exodus, by the same Author(s), where God rejects the tradeoff between convicting the guilty and convicting the innocent, and simply commands, "the innocent and righteous slay thou not." 32 One can take this to imply an infinite value of n, at least in capital cases. The twelfth-century Judeo-Spanish legal theorist Moses Maimonides, however, interpreted the commandment of Exodus as implying a value of n = 1000 for execution. 33 He refers to it as the "290th Negative Commandment" and argues that executing an accused criminal on anything less than absolute certainty would lead to a slippery slope of decreasing burdens of proof, until we would be convicting merely "according to the judge's caprice. Hence the Exalted One has shut this door" 34 against the use of presumptive evidence, for "it is better and more satisfactory to acquit a thousand guilty persons than to put a single innocent man to death once in a way." 35

There may be multiple ns required, one for conviction and one for punishment, but the underlying structure is the same.

>To unpack, you seem to be arguing that since 4% of people sentenced to death are innocent, then about 1 in 25 people are wrongly convicted, and PG is saying that ratio is unacceptable.
I think your probabilistic reasoning is a bit off (by confusing P(I|DS) with P(DS|I)).

I'm not sure what you mean. If 25 people are sentenced to death, and one of them is innocent, then PG is arguing we should let 24 guilty men escape death rather than allowing 1 innocent man to be killed. I guess maybe I should have said n>24, then, but the overall point remains.
I assume this document [1] may cover some changes.

The poor Chinese seem to be the protagonists in a lot of recent American Authored SciFi, maybe there will be some pay back :-)

I Personally find big corporation baddies more believable and readable.
LLVM doesn't actually prefer the lower registers when doing register allocation. IIRC, sunfish told me that GCC doesn't either. It would be interesting to add features that try to minimize code size to the register allocator, but no compiler I know of actually does this.

Partially as a consequence of this, the REX prefixes take up a lot of space in most x86-64 instruction streams. In fact, the average size of each instruction is almost exactly 4 bytes, exactly the same as in classic 32-bit RISC architectures. (This is why I dislike it when people link to that old Linus post about how x86 is better than RISC architectures because of code size; it may have been true then, but not now.)
Because we have just 10-15 days of vacation per year.
Could you build a JVM in WASM?
Well, that was entirely pointless. The meat of the post (the photos of disguised cell towers) would have been exactly as relevant and impactful without that pre-pubescent "hacking". (ooh! we can run six year old software (an openbts fork) on a raspberry pi! we are so cool!)

If you read beyond the headline, you'll see that this is actually the conclusion of the article.
If we cared about this, then why is revenge the core focus on American justice system and not rehabilitation?

When people exit the prison system un-rehabilitated they will hurt more people.

I think this is a more important question. Why is revenge given priority over avoiding new victims?

Also if one actually cares about life, why are prisons such overcrowded hell holes that prisoners get shanked and killed on a regular basis?

This is my issue with this sort of reasoning as it easily becomes cherry picking of issues to support harsher justice system while ignoring all the related issues which speaks for a milder system.
Here's my little trick...

My brother used to sell used cars and a good friend runs a couple small dealerships nearby. I call him when I need a car, tell him what kind, how much, what features and he goes out and finds one at auction for me.

It takes a month or so, but I always end up with a great deal.

If you know someone who can do that for you, it's a great deal for you and an easy sale for them.
In sum, you want to sacrifice choice with convenience.

USB-C works with all the monitor you have and also with all the monitors you'll have.

You can use any port on the laptop and crucially charge the laptop and connect to a display with the same cable, and can be even used to connect to other peripherals using the same cable.

Your argument is that you don't want to spend $10 in adapters, you'll end up spending more in the future and be limited in terms of compatibility with newer hardware.

"Stick every Port in it" is ridiculous also.

What laptop does have Ethernet, infiniband, USB-A/B/C, thunderbolt 2.0, miniDisplayPort, MiniUSB, MicroUSB, RS232, Centronics, PS/2, VGA, EGA, PCMCIA, SCSI, eSATA, S-video, etc?
> Why do the decoding on comparatively expensive custom silicon, when you've already got a fast and flexible CPU?

Not a reason, but I haven't payed attention to sound cards since my Creative SoundBlaster 16. I assumed that some amount of progress/feature-creep had been made on them.

If you told me I would've believed that every sound card these days had an embedded mp3 decoder as well as some 3d audio components.

Housekeep | https://housekeep.com | London, UK | Full stack engineer; Mobile web engineer | Fulltime, contract | ONSITE

Housekeep has quietly taken over as the leading platform for cleaners working in London. We measure our success first by the number of cleaners that want to work with us, and second by the number of satisfied customers who keep booking them week after week. We have created some world-first technologies to grow these numbers month after month, and to increase our efficiency as we scale.

We've got good foundational tools in place, built over two years by two full-time, full-stack web developers. You would be the third pillar of the team, joining early enough to influence tool-choice and architecture as we go forward. We're looking for someone who can work with us as an equal, working on new features from day one.

Our stack:

- Python, Django, Django Rest Framework

- PostgreSQL (including PostGIS for its advanced geographic modelling capabilities)

- AngularJS

- A hybrid mobile app for cleaners developed using Ionic on top of Cordova

Experience in any of these technologies would be a plus, but we're more interested in your track record of building great products for the web.

If you're interested in hearing more about what we're doing, our economics and growth, and the kinds of things you might get to work on, email me. I'm the CTO and you'd be talking to me directly. We don't use any recruiters.

Bones Found 76 Years Ago Could Actually Be Amelia Earhart’s
Yeah. This stuff is hard when you're a startup and can't pay Google rates. But as we've grown we've generally been able to grow salaries so folks are above market in the market they are in. Sometimes we lose out on folks in really high cost of living areas. But it's happening less often.
To upgrade my storage capacity, I can... double my SSD space. Which costs $100 (from 256GB to 512GB). That's the equivalent of upgrading from an RX 480 8GB to an nVidia GTX 1070 8GB.

I don't know about you, but I have better things to spend money on than storage that could otherwise be slightly further compressed. I'd rather wait a couple seconds longer and burn my money on upgrading the graphical fidelity of my machine.

Better yet, I could buy 3-10 games on Steam on sale for that money. Do you still think that's a worthwhile upgrade? Or would you rather wait another 3 extra seconds for every level reload in your game?

If you have more money than time, you could always disable compression. My problem is that I can't enable any sort of good compression and I'm broke.
You are tying all kinds of societal failures to the death penalty, killing people will not solve any of that, it will in fact only make it worse.

But you're welcome to your own opinion, but 'you reap what you sow' applies to societies just as it does to farmers.

Violence projected and practiced by the state will not help in moving society to a more peaceful quadrant.
Thanks - I will look into those links carefully
I've been using Lenovo X1 Carbons for about 4 years (since they came out) and love them. Super light, enough RAM and CPU, great keyboard (after 3rd Gen...), has a TrackPoint (which I require). I'm been using Debian exclusively since 2008 and Gnome 3 since 3.4 or so. Highly recommended, though HiDPI support is not perfect...
So they have an LLVM target for RISC-V. They could submit that but they choose to divide it up into pieces and submit them piecemeal. This is the first piece of that meal. If you want to skip to the dessert:

Introducing the Daily 360 from The New York Times
Just curious what laptop do you use for work and what OS (Linux/Mac)?
If someone reputable was testing all these devices for such basic flaws and published the results, then IT managers could use that to back their buying decisions. That would actually cause vendors to listen. I don't think it is impossible to do, or even monetize such service.
There are a lot of those questions in the blog post. Perhaps an explanation of how Instapaper development helps Pinterest as a whole would assuage some fears?
I found this table [1] that lists features specific to HTML 5.1 and their status in current versions of browsers.

Toyota's Prius Prime plug-in hybrid starts at $27,100
"$10 in adapters"?

This is Apple we're talking about. The only thing they've ever sold at a $10 price point is the MagSafe 1 to MagSafe 2 adapter. And, frankly, even that was overpriced.
I was trying Rodeo these past few days. It still has a lot to improve, I really don't think the autor should have put this out of beta so fast, it's clearly still a 0.x version, not a 2.x.

Markdown is extremely limited (what we need is something more like knitr), there are quite a few bugs and it's difficult to access documentation of the packages.

I appreciate the work of the author, but all in all, it's nowhere near RStudio and - except for the fancy interface - actually behind Spyder.
Like many others I agree with this. My company is completely distributed (we prefer "distributed" over "remote" because we aren't remote from anything) and has employees in 50+ countries.

There was a pretty good book written a few years ago by a former employee of ours about how distributed work and culture go together: http://scottberkun.com/yearwithoutpants/
In the U.S. people are guaranteed by law to express themselves as they see fit, without government interference except in the most constrained cases. A security vulnerability disclosure does not meet any of the constrains I can think of off-hand: not incitement, not libel (written) nor slander (spoken), not child pornography, not obscenity, not false advertising, etc.

PythonAnywhere dev here -- we'd be very happy to have you back! (Especially if you tell us what made Nitrous a better platform while they were still operating.)
We get asked this a lot and unfortunately don't have any immediate plans to release it in any way. It's pretty tied into Zapier and would involve a decent chunk of work to decouple the code base to make it more general.

Someday it would be good to release.

You can probably replicate it with P2 the WordPress theme which is where we started before building Async.
No, it doesn't. They won't escape death, they'll be dead sooner or later anyway. It is just that society will not have lowered itself to their level in response and will have an opportunity to figure out which of those people was in fact innocent.

It's all fun and games until you are that innocent person.
Apple and Google aren't going to do anything. If you want someone to change it talk to Ericsson, Nokia and Qualcomm.
