As a non-Mech E, but someone who needed parametric CAD for side-biz[1] projects... the delta between FOSS offerings and paid offerings in this space is immense. I evaluated Fusion 360 a few months back, and even that was a non-starter for my use: I was floored that it doesn't have a feature often called "configurations"[2], vital to my work. Solidworks would be great, but the per-seat starting price was far too high for me right now. I went with Alibre Design on the recommendation of an engineer acquaintance, and that's been my personal parametric CAD sweet spot. I adore OnShape's revisions to classic CAD modeling, but it's still more than I want to pay given[1].

[1] not yet money-making, so still akin to "hobbyist" in needing to keep a constrained budget. I absolutely agree with the parent that the per-seat costs seem high, until you factor the costs of your skilled staff in a real work environment.

[2] Imagine you want to model a cap screw, but have just one master model for all of the diameter/length/{fully-threaded, partially threaded} variations. Updates to the model are then sanely propagated to every variant. You don't have to go very far down this path before manually keeping separate models in sync will drive you nuts. That's the problem that configurations in CAD s/w were created to solve.
Yeah, I'm hope I'm not missing out, but the beginning of the article was too aggressive for me to bother with the rest.

My Worst mistake was to give too much of my personal gains to close family out of sense of duty only to realize very late that they were simply playing me to accumulate wealth for themselves and whomsoever they considered dear.

Another big one was to invest in real estate without research.

Offering services "SEEKING WORK"

## Location: Paris, France.

## Remote: Yes ## Past missions in Europe, North America, Africa. (When remote, visits as needed, days every few weeks to weeks every few months depending on distance.)

## One-liner ## Existing software I fix and extend. Challenges I tackle writing high quality software. Industrial, embedded, image/signal routing/processing, distributed, real-time, fail-safe redundancy.

## What situations call to reach me ##

* when "good enough" in your project means "runs really great",
* when others have not made / would not do such a good job / left you piles of bugs,
* when most freelancers or hires are too specialized or not hands-on enough. By contrast I can cover several techs, levels, and do architecture, design, write code and work with other people, tech and non-tech, including C*O.

Working in close contact (regular phone calls to remain together on track and to the point at all times).

Past missions in railway systems, embedded systems and other industries, open to other domains that need reliable software.

Short to medium-long missions preferred.

## Project size ## From one deployment (embedded/desktop) through dozens of networked PC, to software systems deployed to millions.

Just because you don't experience images doesn't mean nobody else does either. What is it with this thought process? Stop being so self-absorbed and closed- minded to other experiences. This is yet another thread where some people aren't willing to accept others have a different sense experience or behavior or whatever else and it's infuriating. Your experience doesn't invalidate the experience of somebody else, and using your experience as the basis for this doubt is incredibly self-centered.

I don't and I have never doubted in somebody not seeing images in their head when they reported that was the case, even if I do see these images, however clearly or unclearly. I don't doubt your aphantasia on the basis of my having a different sense experience.

I also recommend "Made in Japan: Akio Morita and Sony" where Morita recounts the early days after the war of what became Sony. They decided early on to develop a tape player and it is interesting to read the crazy things they tried, having no domestic source of tape and almost no resources, working in a bombed-out area of Tokyo. It took them several years to develop tape and then a recorder, and eventually they developed the expertise to make smaller and smaller devices culminating in the Walkman.

As an aside, Steve Jobs was an admirer of Morita and the Sony Walkman could be seen as a precursor to the Apple iPod. Also Apple's efforts to make ever-thinner and compact devices could also be related back to the Sony efforts to make ever-smaller and compact devices, this being perceived as a key part their success during Morita's time.

> is a manifestation of a more fundamental internal issue (mental or emotional)

This is false.

Food deserts and lack of financial/nutritional education are a major cause of obesity. Many Americans don't have quick access to grocery stores and can only purchase fast food / junk food. They literally don't have time or the ability to change what they eat. Some Americans have grocery stores but literally do not know that healthy food CAN be cheaper. They see Whole Foods and rich people eating healthy and intuitively it makes sense that it seems more expensive. These are problems outside of individuals that exist on a national and global scale.

> Distance to store and prices were positively associated with obesity (p<0.05). When distance to store and food prices were jointly modeled, only prices remained significant (p<0.01), with higher prices predicting a lower likelihood of obesity. Although low- and high-price stores did not differ in availability, they significantly differed in their display and marketing of junk foods relative to healthy foods.

Correct. I've identified the following as triggers for sinus headaches in myself and cut them out; gluten, caffeine, sodium nitrites, monsodium glutamate, sugar. I also don't eat fruit because of sugar. I just take vitamins to get the good stuff out of them. I mostly eat meat. Rice, corn, or potato based carbs. Broccoli is my go to veggie which I should eat more of.

Analytical Flavor Systems | Manhattan - NYC | Full-Time | Onsite | http://www.Gastrograph.com/ Position: Full-Stack Engineer, Application Engineer, DevOps, Data Scientist Application & Data Stack: Javascript, React & React Native, GraphQL, Docker, Spark, R, postgres/MySQL, AWS Team: we're a diverse 6 person company (across Data, Engineering, Chemistry, and Biz). Everyone gets trained as a professional taster.
Gastrograph AI is an artificial intelligence platform for modeling human sensory perception to predict consumer preferences of food & beverage products. We help food and beverage companies develop new products and optimize their existing brands by predicting the optimal flavor, aroma and texture for target consumer cohorts.

Our Services

_Innovation Management_: New product development, flavor profile optimization, & portfolio management (multi-product optimization).

_Cognitive Marketing_: Product description optimization to prime consumers to like a product more by purposely engineering a perception bias.

_Deep Market Insights_: Predictions for emergent market preferences by region and demographic.

The Position(s)

_Engineering_: We're currently looking in two specific areas: (1) full stack engineers with experience with React, GraphQL, and React Native to work on our web app for clients and our mobile app for tasters. (2) Streaming infrastructure focused engineers capable of integrating the data pipeline and outputs of machine learning models into an easy to use management platform.

_Data Science_: Data science is central to the value and insights we provide for our clients. We didn't build a data science team to optimize our product's marketing spend, sales funnel, or client retention – we built a data science team to build our product. We are a team of data scientists that understand our clients and turn nebulous business goal into quantitative decision metrics and predictive models to optimize those metrics. The extensive role of data scientists at Analytical Flavor Systems allows us to invest in their education across sensory perception (standard sensory science so they know what we're improving and replacing), tasting experiences (so they appreciate the products we work on and understand how the data is collected), production knowledge, and data science tear-downs (a meeting where the team collaboratively attempts to find and fix problems, try new techniques, and debate the philosophical implications of a model's construction).

Next Steps

Please contact Jason Cohen at JasonCEO@Gastrograph.com to apply.

Honest question - what author would knowingly limit the scope of their readers not only to those interested in the topics they're writing about, but those who can read moderately legible handwriting on a busy background? From getting their point across, building an audience, and making a living, it makes no practical sense.

Even the OP came out with transcripts and improved accessibility in the long run - but you have to dig in the HN threads for those. How many potential valuable followers and opinions were lost in that time?

Our CTO worked with Erich Gamma, got offers from Apple, Google and similar firms.

We currently building tailored web apps with heavy number crunching on the server - e.g., we built the software analyzing all the weather data in Switzerland. We do custom development with a heavy engineering part and we regularly impress our clients with software that rarely needs maintenance.

1) Phone screen with our CTO

2) Two sessions of remote pair-programming with our engineers (no Google-like algorithmic questions but reasonable pair-programming tasks).

3) Onsite half a day with us.

The law doesn't really have a problem with such technical hacks. They basically apply common sense - if you distribute a decoder that produces CP from the Google Logo, in legal terms that is no different to distributing CP.

I think someone wrote an article about this many years ago called "the colour of bits" or something like that. Basically the idea that you can trick your way out of the law with "it's just a number" type arguments are nonsense.
> i.e. they can't take the robot and move to a different caffe, they are tied to the benevolence of their boss

The same can be said about a lot of jobs. If your quit your job in a metal working shop you can't take your lathe with you, it belongs to your employer. A bus driver usually can't take the bus with him. A crane operator usually doesn't own the crane. The only thing different in this situation is that there is only one such cafe equipped with remote controled servers. But that just means we should encourage such cafes so that more spring up and workers can move to another employer with similar equipment.

> On the other hand, the idea that this could become a weapon against disabled people (why are you staying on benefits? go out and get a job for yourself, you lazy paraplegic!)

If there were enough job opportunities for disabled people, this "attack" would be entirely valid reasoning. After all they get benefits mostly because they can't participate in the job market in the same way other people can. In the reality we live in those job opportunities don't exist in sufficient quantity, so any such attacks are empty rhetoric.

>Overall, this is much more distopic than utopic

Giving disabled people a more normal life, enabling them to participate more in society, is distopic? Even ignoring any financial aspects and the interaction during the work day, just working in itself is shown to have positive effects on mental health.
I found the reference [1]. I think this style has its place, like when you don't know exactly what you need in general, but can make concrete decisions as you encounter them. Kind of like the rough sketching of programming. I wouldn't want to fly in a plane whose control software was written this way though.

MacOS, iOS and WatchOS programming in Objective-C and Swift. I have experience taking apps from concept to store.

Languages: English, some French, some German

Long history of shadow writing software.

Will not sign NDAs, nor engage in video chat. If those two are a requirement, then I am not a good match.

Will deliver on time and on budget a quality product.

Happy to work on partial projects. Give me a blind chunk of your project like a class or UI problem and I am happy.

Also happy to do code review, optimization, full projects, some graphics and audio.

What caught me off guard were the error messages when not enabling serde functionality for optional dependent crates (e.g. chrono). Nom, which I love, has been a matter of interpreting the error messages with a divining rod though.

Emphasizing which part of the tuple didn't match up would be a big win, but IMO it should be pulled out and mentioned first. Highlighting could get lost in the noise (moreso without all the ANSI escape codes if you're redirecting output or whatnot).
You are a self-starter: you have the ability to take on a feature request from start to finish on your own. You have the talent of Senior level but you also have the ability to break down (and ask for) requirements and communicate effectively. When an important feature is coming up people want you to work on it!
