SEEKING WORK - US | Remote

Email: hey@workwithgosha.com

I’ve been doing a lot of mobile and front-end work past couple of years, but I know my way around back-ends, architecture, deployment as well.

You can see my some of past works & references here: http://goshakkk.name/works/

I keep a blog about React Native & React (http://goshakkk.name) and have self-published a book about forms in React (http://goshakkk.name/the-missing-forms-handbook-of-react/).

A bunch of buzzwords because apparently everyone needs them: React Native, React, Hooks, JavaScript, Flow, TypeScript, MobX, Redux, Ruby, Rails, PostgreSQL, Haskell, type systems.

Note: my handle has nothing to do with the kkk.

I think that is a good point. For those reasons many have come to the conclusion that fully remote workforces using appropriate communication paradigms (usually written) are more feasible than partially remote.

You certainly can drive activities from events in event sourcing applications. Having built many like this. You don't have to, but you can.

Just make sure services that perform actions based on events, and the services that rebuild current state based on events are different. So you replay the state building without the activities being performed.
It's not exactly true that all services in a local municipality are funded solely by local funds. For example, in your state of Georgia the state pays a share of public education. Most states' largest sources of revenue come from sales taxes which it should be clear comes disproportionately from cities as cities are disproportionately populated. Any state funded and especially state run service is going to be largely funded by city dollars. It's admittedly complex and varies state by state in degree, but overall it stands true that cities pay more taxes to their state in dollar amount by virtue of there being more people; therefore it seems fair to say that any state funds used for any area outside the cities is subsidized by the cities. I'm not saying this is a bad thing, just a valid observation.
I found it interesting that you tag the types like that.

I’m working on a small language idea right now where I wanted to treat bindings as first class, and having them combine with row polymorphism into a construct subsuming tuples, argument lists, and environments into a kind of unified thing, with a similar result in mind. Even to the point of perhaps demoting scalars from first class status actually, point being that where there is a value there should be a name (borrowing the rdf model here)

So (n1: v1) might be a value v1 bound to n1. And (n2: v2) another. (n1: v1)(n2: v2) = (n1: v1, n2: v2), and one could even imagine (n1: v1, n2: v2)(n3: n1+n2) as a valid expression. Which of course is equivalent to
(
n1: v1,
n2: v2,
n3: n1+n2,
) not entirely unlike a let-expression

(I’m thinking of unifying terms and types so a lambda would simply be such an expression where v1 and v2 are types)

Oh well just a toy in my head at the moment. Just found it interesting to see similar tag combining semantics.

(As for namespace I was thinking to borrow the plan9 approach of binding things dynamically, using something like Scalas implicits, for evaluation to do a kind of dependency injection thing, but a global lexically scoped tree for typing it)
What makes you a master is the ability to predict everything before it happens fast and automatically.

A master swordman does not fear novices precisely because they know their movements before they do. They look at (imperceptible for amateurs) body language hints and know exactly what you are going to do before you do it.

In reality there are physics constraints. Before you do a movement, you need to put weight in some part of the body, tense a muscle....e.g it is impossible to jump without a specific movement of going down and preloading.

Not only that , they know exactly what is the best response to it to neutralize whatever comes to them.
People will speed run anything! I run a little solitaire site that has leaderboards and the Frecell games are dominated by faster than 10 second completion times. People complained in the forums about the times and how they must be by cheaters, and then the fast people started posting videos of themselves beating the games in seconds. They're truly impressive:

No but each tank also had a manufacturer code, so this technique still worked.
(I have nothing better to do this morning.)

I went looking for anyone who had "done science to" it. It turns out that something has been discovered, hyped, lost, and re-discovered in the West over and over again for about two centuries, going back to Mesmer[1] himself. E.g. Baron Von Reichenbach's "Odic" force[2]; "Theron Q. Dumont" wrote about "Vril"; Reich's infamous "Orgone"[3]; the modern burgeoning of "Energy medicine"[4], a term that usually includes Reiki. And of course, there's "Qi"[5], known since time immemorial in the East.

I couldn't find anything that looked like a scientific theory for the "energy". It seems to be impossible to scientifically test.

It seems vaguely related to light somehow.

All this stuff is on the Internet now, but it was not all easy to find in the late 90's I can tell you.

It really, really is.
No I did not.

Let me quote again what I already quoted:

"outcomes" vs "milestones"

See?
Sarin breaks down rapidly in the human body into a metabolite called isopropyl methylphosphonate. IMPA is the first compound for which the laboratories test, and finding it in a blood, urine or tissue specimen has long been considered evidence of exposure to sarin.

But that test can be fooled. Isopropyl methylphosphonate is sold commercially by major chemical companies. And IMPA is not only safe to handle but was found by the EPA to be harmless when consumed orally at doses of 3,000 parts per million.
I was pulled over with a few friends after a few loops. One of the roundabout entrances was a hospital. I didn't get a citation of any sort, but the cop basically handwaived with "blocking traffic" (of which there was none).

Basically, it depends how bored your local police are
You pay VAT between the difference VAT incomes and VAT expenses. Exactly like tax on profits. It’s just at another accounting level. The distinction is arbitrary.

I’ve been a tech lead for 6 years and Agile has given me a lot of imposter syndrome because I can’t seem to make it work for me. The biggest point for our org is to cost work items and realize a consistent throughput for our team on which we can make scheduling predictions.

Unfortunately my tasks tend to be nebulous. They involve investigating very large potential systems and breaking out smaller tasks, many of which won’t be fully understood till we’re in the trenches. How do I cost the time it takes to learn how Spanner will handle my design and update architecture accordingly? How do I cost “interrupt driven” work like getting buyoff on a given architecture? One of my OKRs was literally “Create a security model for a new foundational technology that is acceptable to all integrators, follows Google Cloud best practices, and can be represented in Kubernetes.” How would you break that into (bi)weekly sprints? You don’t even know what work you’ll have to do until you go to a committee of stakeholders and get told where you have to go back to the drawing board.

If you backup etc and home, you can pretty much restore a linux machine back to working order. Yes, you might be missing packages in a brand new install, but then the extra files are harmless.

People put etc in git even: https://joeyh.name/code/etckeeper/

The registry is much more magical and it is difficult to find and remove cruft, so I suppose there's an argument against it.
Hi,

I'd love to make a proper application for one these jobs.

Do you consider remote workers from Europe?

Thanks
That’s great and all. Let’s just continue with single family homes then. You know what’s better than that young couple having to rent for a while instead of buy? Having them be priced out completely and forced to commute from an hour away or move out of the area entirely.
The Haskell community is full of terrible culture, things like badly designed libraries that assume the type signatures are the same thing as documentation, or ridiculous constructs designed to seem clever or work around the various straitjackets Haskell imposes.

If you feel you can just 'trust the assumptions' in Haskell but not in OO environments you've probably just been comparing very different codebases written by very different programmers.

In a codebase that uses OOP well it's very easy to understand what assumptions you can make and the tooling can be excellent. For instance, IntelliJ will happily show you all the possible implementations of a virtual method if you're using polymorphism. "It might launch the nukes" is pure Haskell meme noise - the equivalent unexpected behaviour for Haskell would be a difficult to understand space leak.

Do you mean the conclusion that the universe is a rigid block of spacetime?

Yes. You on the other hand try to place time outside of the universe and that means for me you are not talking about the entire universe. It is like talking about one frame of a movie, but one frame is of course not the entire movie. And while there is change from frame to frame the entire movie is static. Equally the universe in one moment is not the entire universe. Not to mention that the universe in one moment is - to put it mildly - a problematic idea as relativity teaches us that there are no such things as a universal time or universal simultaneity.

I used to accept that as an undergrad, eventually rejecting it for the most common reason of all: the denial of free will [...]

There are several different things that people may mean when they talk about free will but those fall into two categories. The first category contains variants of free will that do not require that the future is indeterminate, for example understanding free will as just doing what one prefers. The second category contains variants of free will that do require that the future is indeterminate but the problem is that those variants of free will are not logically consistent or not worth being labeled free will to begin with.

[...] justifying this to myself on the grounds it conflicts with the halting problem.

Would you mind elaborating this point?

[...] if the universe is functional [...]

What does this actually mean? What precisely distinguishes a functional from a non-functional universe?

[...] then its laws may evolve as it evaluates, including the laws by which it evaluates.

Give that I do not know what exactly you mean with a functional universe, this may go totally into the wrong direction, but at least naively I see no problem for the rules to simply change in any kind of universe. On closer inspection it is of course not that easy because it is pretty easy to end up with something inconsistent but those details aside, why would it be impossible for the gravitational law to become an inverse cube law tomorrow? Finally this raises all kind of new questions, for example just how many layers of laws describing change in the layer below are there? Is there a ultimate static layer that does not change? And over what time dimension do those laws change?

[...] the speed of light then emerges as a property of evaluative propagation through a functional universe [...]

Are you talking about the value of the speed of light or its existence? The value is arbitrary, the digits of c are of course just an artifact of the units we use. And even the value is inconsequential, i.e. whether c is c or 5c or 100c or 0.1c, you can just rescale it and call it one as physicists often do. The only thing that matters is whether the speed of light is finite or not.
Yeah, I was having lunch with a friend nearby and noticed, about two hours ago, a pair of helicopters circling and hovering.
I've had a windows update brick my laptop. It failed to complete an update, would roll back, reboot, then try again. Nothing I did fixed it. I spent almost a week with it in a boot loop, trying various fixes and such before giving up and reformatting. Put linux on it and added it to my pile of linux laptops.
Having taken a first look at images of the car on their site, I'll say one thing: Lucid has managed a much higher level of aesthetic refinement in their design than Tesla.

I'm a huge fan of Tesla overall, and especially their engineering. Unfortunately, despite the pedigree of their design team, I find the aesthetics wanting. In comparison, the Lucid "Air" (as their model is known), seems to rival the best German manufacturers for aesthetics. It has the crispness and ease of a design from a mature luxury car company. So hats off to that achievement, whatever their market or price point.

Tesla's sheet metal and interiors are somewhat clumsy in comparison. (It's never a good sign when your car looks best in the curve-hiding color black.)

The thing that terrifies me about the state of affairs is what happens when the software gives the wrong result because it's poorly written? If a scientists has input B and expects output X, and writes code that accepts B, and it happens to output X, chances are they'll write the paper and send it off for publication. Even if there's a bug in the code, and the real output should have been Y. I genuinely believe that this happens more often than most of us would find acceptable. Hell, there have probably been instances of the code outputting Y and the scientist scratches their head like, "Hmmm, that's not right, something's wrong," and will massage the code until it eventually outputs X, and then they'll say, "Fixed it!" and move on.

I know for a fact it's happened at least once, and led to a scientific controversy that lasted for decades. Unfortunately, I don't remember the specifics; if someone recognizes my vague description please step in with a citation. But one group of scientists published a paper saying a certain dynamic system behaved in a certain way, and a second group published a paper saying it behaved in a different way, and the two results were completely incompatible with each other. Significant public disagreement ensued. One group published their code, and the other group attacked it saying it was poorly written, etc. The second group did not release their code. Decades later, some other scientist at the second institution released the code, and after a code review, it was found that the data was incorrectly initialized. They needed to initialize the particles with "random" initial velocity vectors, but the scientist who wrote the code didn't know how to do it correctly, and wrote an ad-hoc algorithm that gave the initial velocity vectors significant bias along an axis. But the paper was already written, peer reviewed, published, and cited, so even though the paper was wrong, the result was still accepted by (half of) the scientific community. AFAIK the paper was never retracted.
So how did you solved the IP ownership issues?
All engineering roles are open to US-based remote candidates!
One could definitely use "deepfake" tech to make transparently-untrue and highly fanciful depictions/parodies though. It's not so much about the technology itself as how it gets used.
Same thing with poker. Someone who doesn't understand betting strategy and odds is more dangerous. It takes the game closer to the underlying luck line, because you can't effectively communicate with the other player in the normal ways. And that's a scary proposition, because you're relying on decision making to create an edge... The luck layer is the same for everyone.
Right but in the US the vast majority of areas require cars. Things are just very spread out and so everything was designed for cars. It's not feasible to do public transportation like in Europe in most places because of the very low density and vast areas.
> you end up getting these alternately styled legacy interfaces.

Yeah but you can actually DO what you want to in those legacy interfaces, in the new interfaces it is "dumbed down".
Can you provide examples to show how Haskell and HList would solve the problems the author proposes?
What about a one-time purchase of a set of pro features?
Pretty much this. I once tried adding a new ~3 MB binary, and it was rejected on effectively these grounds. Now consider that the team making these in/out decisions has a backlog of requests just like it for larger items...
>free trade supply chain

free trade is hardly a subsidy.
... in the case of a non constructive proof, there would still be a significant change: it would dramatically ramp up the search for a constructive proof
Why not both? The HAProxy Data Plane API does use hitless reloads -- however, it simplifies the management of the configuration through a modern REST API.
It's a take from Mark Twain.

>"But don't you know, there are some things that can beat smartness and foresight? Awkwardness and stupidity can. The best swordsman in the world doesn't need to fear the second best swordsman in the world; no, the person for him to be afraid of is some ignorant antagonist who has never had a sword in his hand before; he doesn't do the thing he ought to do, and so the expert isn't prepared for him; he does the thing he ought not to do: and often it catches the expert out and ends him on the spot."

I played SSBB (Super Smash Bros. Brawl) competitively. I'd occasionally drop games to the worst players because they would choose one of several of the worst possible options available to them at any given time. I keep expecting them to react the "proper" way and so it would throw off my reads. Thankfully sets are best of 3.

SSBB is a game entirely based on reads due to the characteristic lack of combos and "neutral position" being popular since there aren't many scenarios where you can build momentum in a favored position (unlike the more popular SSBM (Super Smash Bros. Melee) which has combos that allow you to create favored positions to keep momentum.

Well, pairings that fall below the window of 6 to 9 hours are short enough you don't need a sleeper train: sitting in a train for 3 to 5 hours is not that bad. Pairings that are above the window are turned into a 6 to 9 hour sleeper train ride plus a regular 3 to 5 hour ride that's not that bad.
