SEEKING WORK | Waterloo, ON Canada (UTC-5) | REMOTE ONLY

Fullstack Developer, 7+ years experience
Backend: Elixir, Rust
Frontend: React, ReasonML, Elm
Mobile: React Native
DevOps: Docker, Kubernetes, Dokku
Email: me@praveenperera.com
Availability: 20-25 hrs / week

I've been using Elixir and Phoenix since August 2015. Before that I was mostly doing Ruby/Rails work.

In the frontend I’ve mostly worked with React. I’ve also done a few web projects using Elm and ReasonML. As well mobile apps using React Native.

Recently I’ve also been learning Rust. So far I’ve loved it and I wrote a little CLI to sort Tailwind CSS classes, a NIF for parsing RSS feeds, and a VSCode extension for minifying inline SVGs:

I've worked with all types of clients including local small businesses, start ups and large enterprises.

A couple months ago I created a mini video course on how to get started using Kubernetes on DigitalOcean DOKS: (video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiSUpKDgWfQ&list=PLcdHMZkfm5) (text: https://avencera.com/learn/)

I wonder if that author supposes the Malaysians, or whoever, thought orangutans (reported to mean "men of the forest") were humans? Or that those naming sea-cows thought that manatee were actually cows?

Surely his name having "modifier+elf" in it shows that he's recognised as distinctly not an elf, nor recognisable as one, but is considered to have elf-like characteristics. I don't think it tells you anything about whether it's strange for an elf to have a beard.
It would actually be a refreshing change for companies with bad business models to get worse valuations.

Valuation is hard, and the article's whole fascination with IPO's is about the idea that the people setting the initial price will find out how wrong they were on the first day. There's a fetish for being hoping they were lowballing, and people rush in to pay more, such that the lucky first in line make a big score in a few hours.

Even if people pay attention to fundamentals, it's tricky. It's not unreasonable for a company to try to raise money before they turn a profit. But so many people turn it into kabbala, dismissing any notion that the returns are related to the company's future earnings, instead looking to the runes to guess what other people's guesses are going to be.

Don’t shoot me - but I have a centos based docker image approaching 3 gigs. It really helps to have static versions of all the SW stack in one easy to consume container.
I think Opinionated can be good. I think configurable can be good too. I think the best case is nearly always "Configurable, with smart defaults" meaning defaults that work out of the box for most uses.

Definitely programming languages are on the periphery of this conversation, but I think provide some good examples of why I like opinionated tools in general.

My language of choice right now is Go, and has been for a while. One of the things I like about it is that it's a bit opinionated. For example:

Braces around `if` statements aren't optional. I prefer this to other C-Like languages that allow you to leave out braces for one-liners.

Also the document "Effective Go" exists, which lays out the canonical "best" ways of doing a lot of things. The language doesn't force you to do these things, but there is an authoritative source that makes good suggestions.

The Antithesis of opinionated languages in my opinion is Ruby. I personally hate Ruby, but I know there are a lot of people that love it. I hate it because there are too many ways to of accomplishing the same tax, and to me this makes it harder to read. Go, on the other hand is the easiest language for me to read, largely because of `gofmt`, another thing that doesn't force you to do it a certain way, but strongly encourages a standard end result.

It's a kernel module. What you do in practice is to have a configuration file somewhere and then have a command line tool (wg(1)) read that file and have the wireguard kernel module create a wg0...n network device.

The out of kernel alternative is how OpenVPN has always worked, by creating a TUN/TAP device, which basically creates a pipe<->network device bridge, and a user space process reading/writing from that pipe.

I once described the worst member of senior leadership I've had to deal with at a company as having no tricks other than cosplaying as Jack Welch. Like he instituted stack ranking at a 50 engineer company because he was old money, and it never occurred to him to interact with "the help" enough to know the engineers under him.

He's one of two people in the management chain I've met in my career that they working at a company (not even in my management chain, but there at all) is mutually exclusive with me working there.
> To start with the latter: this virus cannot be contained anymore, at best it can be slowed down. Which means that sooner or later we all will get it. So the extreme measures to isolate yourself from your environment in hopes of not getting contaminated are a waste of time and resources.

Not true at all. There is a great benefit to "flattening the curve" to spread out the infections over time, as a high percentage of cases for older individuals will require hospitalization, and there are a limited number of beds available. If reasonable isolation measure are in place, this could happen, as there would be fewer active carriers at any time to transmit the virus to vulnerable populations.
Right and the TL;DR of my reply is — if I spend 5 mins on DDG or other websites, then I would have spent 5 mins on Google too, because in my experience Google's search results have degraded too — due to spam, plus I noticed the results further degrading after I toggled off the search history in my profile, but that's another discussion.

Self-preservation certainly goes a long way in preventing an amateur from crashing an ultralight. However, self-preservation likely isn’t going to necessarily prevent an amateur pilot from flying his aircraft in a manner that is not hazardous to others. A self-taught ultralight pilot is not going to have any more knowledge of airspace, traffic, and right of way rules than any amateur drone operator. These are most of the issues that have come up with drones thus far. They’re being operated in a way that interferes with other traffic and the way to stop that is through education and perhaps even sensible geofencing.

I think the current licensing requirements are about the right touch. The only thing I could see changing is adding some knowledge/licensing requirements for recreational operators so the regulatory body can at least certify a person has been told where they are and are not allowed to operate and how to safely avoid being an impediment to manned traffic. Simply throwing absurd tracking requirements on them is not going to stop them from being operated in the wrong space.
School closures can be enormously disruptive if not handled correctly. As OP notes, who is going to watch the kids if you close schools?

We have large numbers of essential services (medical, utility, food, etc.) that must keep running. - perhaps you could set up childcare for said workers, but again, you have to be careful here your prevention doesn't cause more harm.
> he sometimes said he gave himself an A for his execution of its operations, and an F for his choice of successor.

As Michael Scott would say "My biggest flaw is working too hard"

Jack is upset that his successor did not turn out to be person of questionable moral values and shady accounting genius.
He called them fairies in the beginning (in what is now the Silmarillion), but they were always taller and more beautiful than humans, always immortal in some way, and always arrived before humans.

He simply changed his names for them, as he also did with the 3 main race names.

Slowing it down has a big impact on one thing - the availability of hospital beds. I've read that 20% of people who get infected will need ICU treatment. If everyone gets sick within a short period of time, will there be enough hospital beds and ventilators for those who need it? No.

Containment is really the only thing at present that is able to slow this thing. Which is the only reason you are seeing the numbers in China starting to drop.
I’m really glad there aren’t any interactions tied to a JS library. Building out the interactions are the easy part.
No, it's not confusing at all. The guy never offered engineering services to the public.

AFAIK the incas did know about the wheel, and could have presumably made them out of wood, but chose not to due to religious reasons. They venerated the sun and its shape, thus using something circular for such mundane purposes would have been tantamount to blasphemy.

Secfi | Software engineer(s) + Operations and Finance | Amsterdam, the Netherlands + San Francisco | EUR 50-150k + equity

Secfi is a VC-backed fintech start-up that helps start-ups and employees better manage equity compensation. We do this by providing shareholders of private companies with liquidity so that they can exercise their options or access capital for personal use. We build technology products that help private company employees make the most of their equity and make more informed decisions. By simplifying their equity compensation, employees can spend more time on things they love doing most. We have offices in Amsterdam and San Francisco.

For example: one of the most complicated things for employees is figuring out how much taxes they need to pay when exercising their Incentive Stock Options or Non-qualified Stock Options.

The tax planning tool inside our dashboard does just that: https://www.secfi.com/#gif-container

An exciting challenge we’re working on next is an exercise planning tool that tells you what you should do with your equity based on your personal. Things have been going very well here at Secfi, and we’re looking to add 10 more people to our Amsterdam engineering team.

We have a variety of engineering vacancies including a VP of engineering, frontend, backend Python and full stack JavaScript engineers: https://www.secfi.com/careers

See? Creative Destruction is real!
While this is a very interesting paper, I'm a little bit wary of research articles that only have a single author. Are you aware of how accepted this viewpoint is in the wider research/medical community? For example, are there any medical bodies that currently actually recommend adults to take 8000 IU of vitamin D supplement per day, if they are at risk of deficiency? Conversely, are the medical bodies that do not make such a recommendation simply slow, or are they in fact disputing the above findings?
You’re right about 93, but if you go about five years later and keep all the animations turned on, it looked a lot like this. Those animations killed performance so I suspect that most people on here turned them off as quickly as I did, but this is a pretty good reproduction. It’s good enough that as I poke around, I remember specific events from my relative youth...

I mean, that's how you choose to interpret opinionated I guess.

I see it more as "convention over configuration". If you want to (or need to) tweak the configuration and settings extensively, then that tool is perhaps not for you, and that's ok. Perhaps you are a subject matter expert, and you want more control.

If you're ok with sane defaults (that were chosen by subject matter experts, and you are not one), then "opinionated" is a great thing.
What you want is an egregious breach of privacy. Just because you have access to Alice's personal data does not mean it belongs to you.

In fact, I'd argue that EU would not be happy if the data people downloaded included information about anyone but them and only them.
> Is anyone but you conscious?

Yes.

> If so, how can you be certain?

I can't be absolutely certain of that nor of anything else. The philosophical-zombie hypothesis cannot be ruled out by evidence. But I observe others producing complex I/O behavior that is qualitatively similar to that which I produce and that I attribute to my own consciousness. I also see evidence that my consciousness supervenes on the operation of my brain, and I observe that other people have brains. The most parsimonious explanation for all that is that other humans are also conscious.
Thank you. I was not aware of that.

I'm curious what would lead to more death and disease overall: shutting down retails sales, or trying to keep it running?

For really basic goods and services: production and sales of food, fuel, electricity, healthcare, etc., it's easy to imagine the health impact of a prolonged interruption.

But what about less urgent categories, such as building construction, automobile manufacturing, restaurants, and tourism? Is it possible that a prolonged reduction in economic activity from those sectors would have a major impact on public health?
If you can delay personal exposure until effective treatments, or even a vaccine, are available, you can reduce or eliminate, respectively, your personal suffering due to the virus.

If everyone takes measures to slow the spread, it will reduce strain on the medical system (because fewer people will be sick at any given time), which will mean the people who do get sick suffer less and are less likely to die.

Even if it's 100% certain that you will be exposed to the virus, that's a long way from saying the best thing you can do is just give up and get it over with.
