I have two, my main blog and Iron Arachne's blog, the latter of which is probably more interesting to HN.

My main blog is just a journal of sorts. There are a handful of interesting posts, which you can find here:

I am a full stack developer with ~3 years of professional experience working with the range of technologies listed above.

You can also find me regularly in meetups, conferences and hackathons as I'm keen to stay on top of the latest development trends.

I am also a regular coach/instructor in underrepresented tech communities as I enjoy making tech more accessible for anyone who's looking to work in tech. It's a great way to learn too!
Do you have many transport projects on the go currently?

One that I always thought would be interesting is looking at optimisation of the distribution of the Santander Cycle Hire bikes. These are redistributed to expected demand, but movements are costly in terms of people and vans. I spent a week with the team a few years ago and they had a fairly rudimentary modelling system that a university had put together, which involved mostly manual tweaking of routes. This would make for an interesting Kaggle or similar.
If you picked up a hundred dollar bill in the same situation and didn't have any intention of returning it, would you consider that stealing?

My definition of theft doesn't presume it was legally or morally wrong, so many innocent actions would still be theft.

This is one of my favorite N-Grams using Google's NGram Viewer: artificial intelligence,machine learning,cybernetics,complex systems; 1800-2008

Complex systems is quite surprising, and reaches back the furthest of the four. I'm not drawing any conclusions nor expressing any ideological opinions. I simply like the symmetries--cybernetics spikes, and AI spikes similarly and with a greater magnitude. Complex systems and machine learning just move steady upward.

To really understand many of these sculptures/monuments it's important to familiarize with the background stories of events that they were built to mark - mostly WWII battles and places of horrible pogroms.

A few links to add more context to some of the best known monuments:

https://medium.com/build-ideas

I started writing about engineering, code, electronics, audio mostly. The idea of my blog is to help other people build their ideas (Hence the name). It started out as a blog to help newcomers to build popular ideas (such as E-Commerce or a simple), but has evolved into documenting some of my journeys with engineering in general. Such as this one:

https://medium.com/build-ideas/in-pursuit-of-a-lost-childhoo...

Although I'm on Medium, I'm looking to port it to my own custom blog soon.
Just like you have "chai" tea, or "naan" bread, so you now have "spomeniks" monuments.

What you have to remember is that these structures were erected to commemorate sacrifices that communists wished to be seen, but from a skewed, one sided perspective.

For example, during the WWII, in the whole of Germany occupied Europe, all the concentration camps were opened at the behest of of Germany. But not so in the Independent State of Croatia, which covered most of the territory of Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, parts of Serbia and Slovenia. The monuments commemorating the camps are done in such a generic manner that you wouldn't know the victims from the perpetrators.

And while in Germany you have sites like Yolocaust[1] which ridicule those who don't know what the Holocaust was. You have companies like Valley Eyewear making their marketing campaigns using the Holocaust monuments.

This is true, but SPARK and ZZ do it anyway. Automatic deductive program-verification can work, but the halting problem means there will always be truths than cannot be automatically proved. This can still be good enough to get the job done.

In the case of SPARK, it's necessary to use timeouts on the prover. Ugly, sure enough, but real work can still be done with it.

Mt Solitary is an indie weblog. Periodic updates to this site consist of the author’s thoughts on many subjects, including philosophy, meditation, mathematics, travel, photography, technology, politics, and the simple bliss of being alive.

Every so often, a new “issue” of Mt. Solitary is posted to the site, featuring a photograph, some thoughts on a topic or two that’ve been bouncing around my head, and short lists of things I’ve been reading, watching and listening to lately.
I copied that from Wikipedia (back in 2007 obviously) public domain release statement, which is written by a lawyer so I've no reason to believe it's not watertight, at least in the US. The intent is to make it public domain, but unfortunately you can't "place something in the public domain" in most jurisdictions, contrary to popular belief. Therefore you have to provide the back-up extremely liberal license. Nowadays as others have said you'd be better off using CC0.
I think how you are asking candidates the question might be unfortunate. A FreeBSD, MacOSX, or Windows dev that know their OSes might never tell you "namespace + cgroup".

Hell if you try to explain containers to 99% of the world programmers by saying "namespace + cgroup", I'd bet you that 0% of them will understand what you mean.

Instead, if you tell them that's "like a VM, but faster, because it "reuses" the host's kernel", you might be able to reach a substantial amount of them, and that level of abstraction would be enough for most of them to do something useful with containers.

Maybe the question you should be asking your candidates is: "How would you implement a Docker-like container app on Linux?". That's a question that specifically constraints the level of abstraction of the answer to at least one layer below Docker, and also specifies that you are interested on hearing the details for Linux.
I seem to recall they came out in favour of the Iraq war

They also continued to criticize how that war was handled throughout and later admitted they where wrong to come out in favor of it.

These advices are good, though the same can be seen in other articles pulling recommendations together.

What would be good to see, are the conclusions and takeaways after applying these. What works for real, what was the combination which lead to the first sale, what is needed for repeatable sales.

This reminds me of a New Statesmen article about UK universities[1], which point out university attendance has gone up 500% since 1990 and First class honours went from being awarded to 7% to being awarded to 29% of students. Either universities figured out a way of being 4x as effective teaching 5x as many students (with measurements for average intake attainment basically flat) - which would be a miracle. Or the marketisation of higher education has incentivised selling the long term reputation of the institution.

By changing the institutions incentives, we've managed to destroy the educational value of the institutions themselves - because we no longer incentivise it.

Companies who are potential early customers are also usually growth stage startups themselves (100-500 people) and want to help out other entrepreneurs. Email the founders to tell them what you're up to, and tell them you won't be a drag on productivity. A company like this almost certainly also has extra office space as they rent for growth.
Doesn't seem to be a reasonable stance to label an entire publication to be untrustable just because you feel it left out from an otherwise factual and subjective data point that you feel strongly about. If sounds a lot like you wanted an echo chamber but as you didn't experienced a specific echo then you just preferred to move onward.

Believe it or not, hosting costs money. It's just that you're not the customer at GitLab and GitHub with free accounts, but simply lure to bring in paid customers. This means that your interests is not what drives company decisions.

Sourcehut as a company is designed to make the relationship between you and the company clear: You are the paying customer, and funding the services. There is no secret agenda or external investor whose interests they must please. Plus, it's the most transparent company I know of.

While you could just ask your questions in #sr.ht, you can also read the financial report (https://sourcehut.org/blog/2020-01-13-sourcehut-q4-2019-fina...) and see what colos they are paying for. At the time, hosting was in San Fransisco and Philadelphia. You can also use their Prometheus instance to check how things are running if you'd like (https://metrics.sr.ht/graph). Both guys in the company's face can be seen and profile read here (https://sourcehut.org/consultancy/).

I don't think your questions can be answered to the same degree from other hosting providers, despite imprints.
This is pretty much the only good game on long haul flights, nowadays. It's the caveman version. You definitely don't get an undo, but you can cheat to get to higher levels as the passwords are only five characters long (and are dictionary words). Lots of carriers have it [1]

Back in the long long ago, some airlines made a deal with Nintendo to put a SNES emulator in their entertainment system [2]. You could play Super Mario World, Zelda: A Link to the Past and other games. I only had the experience once, on a flight to Cape Town around 2002(?) and frankly I was a bit too young to appreciate what it was, but it somewhat spoiled me for inflight entertainment ever after.

The money goes to the Bursar, the headmaster and various reputational pursuits. I know of a school that was asking alumni to donate to buy heart rate monitors for their gym, and a portable electronic score board - not because they didn't have an electronic score board already, but so that they could take it to away games.
Yeah - did wonder about that very precise meaning - there are quite a few other memorials to wars but they are usually qualified in some way "Korean War Memorial" or even for particular units in WW2 such as the superb Commando Memorial near Spean Bridge in the Highlands:

I had a similar experience in the US. My major was EE and my passion was aerospace. I quickly learned to hide my accent because nobody would talk to me as soon as it transpired I wasn't a citizen.

One time we did a drone competition sponsored by NASA, in which it was me (Italian), two guys and a girl from Mexico, and one local whose only job was to talk to the corporate types because they wanted to talk to a citizen.
So.... are any or all of these what you would call a process "sandbox"? Do operating systems make it easy to sandbox an application from causing harm to the system? What more could be done to make that a natural, first-class feature?

Like, let's say you found some binary and you don't know what it does, and don't want it to mess anything up. Is there an easy way to run it securely? Why not? And how about giving it specific, opt-in permissions, like limited network or filesystem access.
I started using Linux containers long time ago and I have used it to achieve compatibility and ease of use.

Before LXC was introduced it was somewhat painful to manage multiple environments using chroot, managing network, etc.

But running the same software in a single environment wasn't always easy. You had to take care of different software versions. And it wasn't uncommon for things to break frequently because of that.

While things like python venv, ruby rvm, etc. helped dealing with it, there was no universal tool for whole filesystem environments besides virtualization.

When LXC came out, I started using it for everything. Nowadays I use LXD and sometimes Docker and it is so nice and requires minimal effort. I know that without those tools it would be very inconvenient to manage my own servers. I have separate auto-updating containers for everything and if one thing breaks, it doesn't take everything down with it. And when everything is contained and each system has minimal set of packages set up, over the years rarely anything ever breaks.

And let's not forget that these Linux features also enabled the universal packages (flatpaks, snaps, etc.) which make it easier for Desktop users to get up to date software easily.

Of course I know that it is not virtualization. But why do people say "containers are not really containers"? It still contains different environments. No one said it is about containing memory or something else.

Practically every compiler does formal verification. The type checking of C for example. The question is what properties you want to verify. It isn't a binary question but rather a continuum from C up to Isabelle/Coq.

I mainly do book reviews few times per month (some posts are bigger than others).
And blog a little bit about music and a little bit about tech: https://j11g.com/category/tech/

The book reviews are mostly (public) notes to myself. The tech blogs are mostly aimed at a larger audience.
I would say that in Prague all the hip places have them, they are also quite popular in Sofia (this is what I had on New Year's Eve as I was on antibiotics), though there are still a few nice bars with Pepsi/Coke. I would presume that this is the case in most of the Eastern EU. The small towns and classic pubs usually got Kofola/Derby or some other cheap local alternative. Btw the manufacturing price of soda is almost negligible.

Because the media is currently largely staffed by gen X people on the higher levels. As this transitions, intergenerational moaning in the media will shift from targeting millennials to gen x and gen z; as boomers get less relevant even more ire will turn against gen x. Moaning about people who have the nerve to be too young or old is a time honoured tradition; we’ve been at it for millennia and it’s not going anywhere.
