very good points.
Don't pay a recruiter. The employer always pays the recruiter. If the recruiter wants you to pay them, they're up to no good and you don't want to work with them anyway.

Do you have a LinkedIn profile? Polish it up and mark it as open to recruiter inquiries, and you'll almost certainly start getting outreach. A lot of them will be spray-and-pray spam recruiters, but here and there will be someone who approaches both you and the employer with respect and consideration.

You may also be able to find a few local agencies by googling. Be specific about location and skillset or title. They're typically thrilled to be able to add candidates to their stable.

If you have a professional network locally, they may also be able to recommend recruiters they've worked with.

Thanks for the recommendations! I have a DSLabs DScope (100 MHz, 2-channel FPGA scope) and while it’s handy I’d prefer to have a proper hardware scope someday. Rigol’s scopes look like they nicely fit in between the basic DSO/FPGA stuff and the “proper” 4-5 digit priced test bench gear.

Any recommendations for learning resources that could help with understanding DC power supply analysis for non-EE types? While refurbishing laptops and working with microcontrollers I’ve run into some odd things where ruling out transient power supply issues would probably be helpful.

I would pick Clojure over any statically typed FP language simply because it's far easier to train news devs for it. My team has been using it for close to a decade now, and we've only hired a single person who already knew Clojure during that time. All the other devs came from mainstream languages, and we were able to get them productive within a couple of weeks on average. There's simply no way I could teach a language like Haskell in a couple of weeks and get somebody reasonably productive with it.

Monolithic design is not a good way to structure projects IMO. Any large project can, and should, be broken down into small isolated components that can be reasoned about independently. Not only does this reduce overall mental overhead of understanding the code, but it also makes it much easier to reuse. Static typing appears to encourage coupling via the types due to them having to be expressed globally. So, it naturally steers the design towards building a monolith.

I also completely disagree that the REPL is some kind of a crutch. It's a strictly superior workflow because it allows you to put the application in a particular state, and then develop functionality against the state you've already built up. Having to restart the application, and rebuild that state every time you make a change is simply not a productive way to spend your time.

Finally, the claim that Clojure hasn't found a niche is pretty weird seeing how it's used all over the place by companies big and small. It's certainly found a very nice niche in space of web development and companies like Apple, Atlassian, and Walmart are getting pretty good mileage from it.
Google has a long history of pushing back for on government requests for data relating to its customers, and they have years worth of history establishing that initial government requests are always overreaching.

Is anyone surprised that they'd push back on requests for their own data, especially when it's run by state AGs (i.e. politically motivated) and involves turning trade secrets directly over to competitors?

It does seem as if an identical-ish puff piece finds its way through the aggregators at least quarterly. I think the actual content of the story is irrelevant enough and I have some misgivings about attributing nefarious motives to this participial puff piece, but I do take issue with the kinds of non-story this article represents, and the collection distraction that journalism as infotainment represents (being neither truly informative, nor particularly entertaining).
I don't understand these direct AC drivers:

https://www.electronicsweekly.com/news/why-not-direct-ac-dri...

They activate 1-4 LEDs in series depending on where in the half wave of the 120V AC we are. That's understandable, but I don't get how about 60V is okay for one LED?

One LED has a forward current of max. 3V, doesn't it? By partitioning the up to 120V into 4 phases, it does not cover a mere 4 LEDs in series.

Do they have to put 15 in series for the first section in the schematics and another 15 for the thign called "LED 2", etc.?

Are there LEDs with forward currents of 60V available?
High temperature superconductors are absolutely an interesting pathway to make magnetic confinement fusion significantly easier than the big tokamaks like ITER. I have friends working at Commonwealth Fusion who are good people and I wish them much success. That said there are still a lot of phases to go through, from physical viability at stage 1 to scaled commercial fleet at stage 7, and that pathway is impossible to predict without getting on the ground and going through the stages. I certainly think it's worth running through the stages.
California cops are collecting info on drivers who have done nothing wrong
At a different college, I loved that class. It brought equations to within a hair's breath of symbolic data for me in 1+ dimensional arrays. It was absolutely essential for the honors chemistry/physics/compsci track.

I had an HP 48G calculator at the time that could do symbolic derivation and all of the matrix decompositions. And if it didn't have a function, it was easy to write your own in any of four (4) programming languages: symbolic user programs (User-RPL), their compiled language (System-RPL), C or assembly. The matrix editor looked exactly like a spreadsheet. What's cool about HP's Erable (CAS) is, just short of being LISP/Scheme, everything was a value. Compiled binaries could be pushed on the stack (RPN). Oh and programs could be copied to other HP 48G/GX's with it's incredibly-powerful serial IR port. Some ingenious soul figured out how to turn the calculator into a learning IR remote control with a library of preset manufacturer codes. (I once turned on all the TVs in the lecture hall from the back of the class (15 m away) with my calculator during lecture... and people freaked out. :D) People modded them with 2-8x as much memory by chip stacking and wiring the enable pin and an inverter to the processor. None of this 64KiB rubbish, 512KiB FTW. And if you couldn't see parens in your 3 line equation, there's a graphical equation editor.

> code is for and by humans

I think this is very much domain dependent. Generally the more important efficiency is, the less I find this to be true. And really, code is always for the machine at the end of the day.

Additionally, if an added code layer makes the code more difficult to debug, that's also making the code worse for humans. Note I'm not arguing for or against whether that's happening in the case of OCaml/ReasonML, just making the point.

I think a lot of people would disagree that they should be allowed to keep their search algorithms secret at this juncture. The impact that this proprietary decisionmaker has on global business with no oversight is insane.
Completely agree with you there, I think it's especially true for an often overlooked yet massive subset of the businesses : the smaller players.

They tend to have neither the resources nor knowledge that there's a world out there beyond the regular free to use but you pay with everybody's data and consolidate their power big corp (FB, Google, ...)

I think the way forward would be something akin to CloudFormation with presets on your own server (DO / Scaleway / AWS / ...), something managed over which you still have ownership and can plug off.

>>Rhombus and Racket will be the same language

Exactly the point, one will have to bring Rhombus to Racket's feature parity, which by the link I posted, and the Racket people themselves acknowledge will take several years to happen. That much dev resources have to be dedicated to build a new language which will have the same feature parity as Racket. This effort could be expended to taking Racket forward. This is non trivial effort.

At the same time, you are hoping to attract users from Java/Python land(Who very likely won't come, given where your language will be(absence of killer libs, frameworks, books, q&a support etc)). While turning away existing lisp users. This ultimately becomes a disaster.

One of the biggest selling points of Racket was that it was continuously being worked on, unlike CL whose spec is frozen(putting it mildly, the real word would be abandoned).

Looks like Lisp has a lot of self destructive tendencies than anything else. Competition seems to be non existent. But Lisp communities just can't agree to work on things. A super massive pivot that just won't fix any real problems to existing users, adding very few incentives to new users, plus act as a resource drain, and cause your perfectly fine existing language to stagnate.

At least part of it is to keep civil.

There are memes floating around that joke that common businesspeak phrases like this are just polite ways to phrase insults, and that's only a little bit of an exaggeration. In my experience, when someone says "as per my last email", it is a very thinly-veiled version of "are you too stupid to understand what I just told you?".

But you have to keep civil in a business environment because a) money is on the line and b) you're going to have to keep interacting with the same people for a long time.

> “But we’re also concerned with the irregular way this investigation is proceeding, including unusual arrangements with advisers who work with our competitors and vocal complainants."

Isn't it typical for regulators to work with competitors of the company accused of antitrust violations? Who is better positioned to identify abuses of the market leader? It's regulators' job to assess what about the reports actually is an abuse.

While I think a lot of this hubbub is motivated by political grudges, I can't help thinking that we would all be better off if the current generation of popular computers (phones, tablets etc) somehow allowed third party app stores.

I know a thing or two about reef research. I don't know much about oil or university money but I do know reef research and destruction being linked to climate change has seen significant investment by the sugarcane industry. We know that nitrogen fertilizers are killing the reefs by leaching needed chemicals from them. There is certainly money in the other direction, how much is unknown but deflecting environmental damage onto climate change is certainly big business for some industries damaging the environment.

I has to do with something called the Binding Energy Per Nucleon. If you march up the curve from small numbers to get energy you are fusion.

“Unable to perform AVX2 instructions correctly under heavy load” is also a common “WTF Intel!?”–inducing phenomenon. I’m certain SREs who work at companies with more than 1 million servers have a bunch of hair pulling stories.

Most (all?) Intel server CPUs in fact decrease clock speed when executing AVX2 (and some other) instructions to keep things a bit more sane. Vlad from Cloudflare wrote about this, more specific to AVX-512 back in 2017: https://blog.cloudflare.com/on-the-dangers-of-intels-frequen...

Then there is PROCHOT signal. Which is supposed to protect the CPU from getting too hot but keeps getting raised in lopsided AVX2 loads not because CPU is too hot but voltage regulation gets whacked.

You may wonder: what is an example of AVX2 heavy load. RSA multiplication is a good candidate. AES constructions or modes (CBC with SHA, GCM) are implemented in AVX2-BMI2 as well.

We speak in hypotheticals of course, but barring any physics defying barriers here, one can imagine a future where those issues you raised have been addressed (e.g improved simulation/ML techniques, less red tape, faster trials, greater accessibility to treatment). Even now, I think mankind's immune defense is no longer confined to itself, but must be thought of as a bigger system that extends to the pharmaceutical industrial complex. Any sufficiently ambitious bacteria is basically taking on not just us, but also the collective work of all researchers diligently working on the next super bug killer.
