STRENGTHS
- Delivering reliable technology solutions in fast-paced, high-growth, and often uncertain business environments.
- Rapid prototyping and early-stage product development, deployment, and decision-making.
- Mastery of highly scalable and reliable system architecture and design for proven business solutions.
- Startup advising and strategic consulting on finding harmony between business, technology, and key stakeholders.

BACKGROUND

Computer scientist, technical founder, and full-stack developer with 8+ years of experience bringing ideas to life. I have a passion for problem-solving and applying technology in innovative ways. Extensive experience in going from the first iteration of a prototype to the first customer using the product, as well as an intimate familiarity with the delicate balance between the needs of early-stage startup growth and those of long-term company scale. I have a pragmatic and practical approach to development; knowing how components and systems should be structured, as well as the realistic limits of the project's resources and how said limits will impact the ultimate design. I work fast, prefer agile workflows, and frequently communicate to ensure we are moving closer to completing our key objectives.

Previous experiences in leading small remote teams, serving as an individual contributor, as well as working in several one-man-army roles laying the foundations for the future team and product growth. Familiar with early-stage to growth-stage startup financing, hiring, and technical strategy. Strong background in optimizing product/market fit, competitive landscape analysis, and establishing product and/or company-level differentiators. University background with a heavy emphasis on research and practical applications of artificial intelligence (AI) and natural language processing (NLP).

Always open to new challenges and opportunities.
homed is a purely optional, independent tool, for use in situations where you’d use roaming home directories on windows, or similar technology.

No one is forcing you to change your broken buggy 30-year old shell scripts, you can always continue using them.
Ok but I think this really should be a separate application. Let's stick with the Unix philosophy and have many tools that do one task well.
You are making an unsound assumption that longer hours mean more economic output.

In some kinds of jobs this may be true, but in others-- especially ones with substantial intellectual or creative components-- it isn't.

In some cases studies have showed increased output from reduced working hours.
Great tool for streamlining my social media workflow for reating and sharing audio clips from podcasts.
> Bernie, maybe, had the chance to.

Bernie didn't even inspire people to vote for him in the primary; how was he going to inspire people if he got nominated?
Had a similar conversation 4 days ago on HN, on the question of the limits of an individual's talent - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23017585

I don't think there's anything wrong with accepting that one can't learn something.

I probably wouldn't be able to learn world-class violin skills even if I trained obsessively. Plenty of violinists train obsessively, from a starting age far younger than me, with more natural ability than I'm likely to have, and a tiny fraction of them become world-class. So what? I don't see this as disempowering.
You seem to be under the misapprehension that anyone remotely cares. Childish tantrums are counter-productive as they almost entirely blowback onto your own psychological state rather than affecting anyone else's. You are permanently stuck with the contents of your brain; everyone else has a quick chuckle at the troll and continues scrolling past.

Clearly you are immensely frustrated. I suspect this stems from the fact that nearly everyone else either doesn't know and is unaffected, or prefers SyStEmD over sysvinit, or doesn't care one way or the other. For me the whole debate is hilarious because every single objection I've heard about sYsTeMd is one or more of the following:

1. Factually incorrect;

2. Resolved with a trivial config change;

3. Preference for the familiar;

4. Preference for theoretical principles over pragmatism;

5. The kernel is orders of magnitude worse ("but that's different").
Examples where it worked:

Youtube -> Google

Twitch -> Amazon

Instagram -> FB

WhatsApp -> FB

FriendFeed -> FB

LinkedIn -> Microsoft

Ring -> Amazon

Paypal -> Ebay (Well they didn't destroy it)

Flipkart -> Walmart

Github -> Microsoft

Moat -> Oracle

EMC -> Dell

Beats -> Apple

Nest -> Google (Debatable?)

Qualtraics -> SAP

Macromedia -> Adobe

Mulesoft -> Salesforce

Tableau -> Salesforce

Skype -> Microsoft

Redhat -> IBM

Kaggle -> Google

Metaweb -> Google

Probably others - these are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head.
> "Also, don't get discouraged during the pandemic. A lot of places are buckling down and if they do hire, it'll be an experienced person who normally wouldn't be on the market but is because of the virus. It's gonna be tough for junior engineers for a while until the economy spins back up."

Also, junior engineer require a bit more guidance to get up to speed, and that's harder to do with everybody working from home. On the other hand, your experience working on private projects might be a bit more relevant. What would be more relevant is open source projects where you do need to coordinate with other open source developers online. That's suddenly much closer to the standard work experience now.
systemd isn't just an init system. It's a suite of tools that provides a system and service manager. It's not handling everything in one monolithic process. This has been said thousands of times before. I don't know why people don't get this.
That is quite a bold statement. Perhaps he meant management is generally discriminatory against those with a minority representation within the company, which is a less aggressive framing.
In my opinion it was more from the perspective that minorities may have a more empathetic view on problems, after likely experiencing dealing with problems other more privileged people don't have to.

In this case: one of the biggest benefits of hiring minorities... ending up being the reason you fire them.
> Well thats my point, they werent forced underground.

My mistake, I misfollowed your logic.

> it was not socially acceptable to have a reasonable conversation around them without being labeled racist

Well, that's because Trump is an outspoken racist, the GOP is also pretty racist (but better at keeping it quiet), and Brexit was largely predicated on racism.
21st century? 20th century? 19th?

Seems to me, this is the story of the industrial revolution and arguably all civilization pre-IR, when serfs were fungible labor units to the landed gentry. Standardize the design and production of something, then bring in labor to produce mass quantities to a certain level of quality.

Coronavirus won't change this: with 8B people on the planet, we've come to depend on industrial production for food, medicine and more.
Use Alpine or something then. I use Alpine as well on a server, OpenBSD on a server, slackware on a server, slackware on my laptop... There's some options. We even use Devuan to host OP's essay, although we'll eventually move to openbsd probably for other reasons.

In terms of package management... why do you need it? I have no problem maintaining everything with slackpkg and sbopkg along with slackbuilds.org. Sometimes it takes a while to find all the requirements for an application and add them to a queue, but once it's set up it's just sbopkg, click on update, upgrade, and you're good. It's pretty much rock solid once I get everything installed and I haven't missed package management much at all. My main gripe is the old packages in 14.2 but -current has a lot newer stuff. I don't mind waiting though.

A clusterfuck of 300 million individuals, getting the leaders they deserve. You can't organize. You can't think outside the system that abuses you. A tiny cabal of openly corrupt individuals can push you all around. You got the leader you deserve.
I think the fascinating thing about these lawsuits is that they'll revolve around two questions:

First, what did the schools promise? And, did they deliver on it?

I doubt it's spelled out in a contract but based on most schools' marketing, the "promise" includes instruction, state of the art classrooms & labs, access to professors, peers, extra curricular activities, dorms, a beautiful campus, and a number of other things. Obviously they've delivered some form of instruction and potentially a way to connect with peers.. but was it the quality or even the product promised/implied?

Well there are 2 aspects for this. Laws in general consider magnitude and criticality when defining measures. So would a judge. YouTube's reach implicitly means the potential for abuse is orders of magnitude higher. And the effects of that abuse are far more dangerous than what a small platform can induce.

The other part, the one I was mostly referring to, is moral. I know, it's a company, it doesn't need to have morals. But this shouldn't stop people from holding them to a higher standard.

With a flip of the algorithmic switch platforms like YouTube or Facebook can influence results of elections, escalate social issues over the tipping point, etc. Can you honestly say that my conclusion needed too much explaining?
How many "Amazon VP"s are there, 1000? Whenever I see stories like this the majority of the time the position of the individual is embellished to make the act seem more dramatic.
Writing a short one here cause almost time to leave office hehe

I am a software engineer and I use DDD (Domain Driven Development)
Before becoming a software engineer I read books on Philosophy.
The thinking methods are very important.

Well I really out of time here Maybe I will write more later :P
I think that’s already recreated in the virtual world by the communities formed by autodidacts (including to some extent HN although that’s not exactly the same.)

IMO: anything artificial is going to so filled with administrators avoiding liability because of the complexity of human interaction that it will be useless.
I took the data from UK foreign travel advice and US embassy website and plotted the lockdown situation in across different countries. I have also added
* What is open and what is closed in each country like restaurants, schools, transportation etc
* Pandemic containment
* Tourist Entry and travel ban details
* Coronavirus growth
> “The town might have a 100-gallon swing in demand for milk from one week to the next without any explanation of why. One week, nobody wants whole milk; the next week, everyone wants 2%.”

IIRC it's a known phenomenon, but I can't remember the name right now. Buyers overestimate the demand, then the next cycle they have stock left, then again buy double because the shop might not have the thing next time. So the demand keeps swinging thereafter.

In fact, the dude is sorta lucky since he can just ask everyone what they want, no need to guess from jumping numbers.
Online classes can work, but it makes sense that students are frustrated by courses put together quickly due to unforeseen circumstances.

I've been a student of Georgia Tech's online Master's program for a few semesters now. They've had years to iterate based on previous students' feedback. I am learning an incredible amount for a decent price. But it is a Master's program and involves a lot of self-motivated research. Also, it costs roughly $850 per semester (if you take only one course). I'm not sure I'd have done it if it had cost thousands.

1) This is anecdotal evidence but as far as I know it's difficult for non-EU people to get a work permit in Switzerland. I know quite a few students that completed the CS Master in ETHZ and that are from Egypt or China, etc. that could not get a job in Switzerland because it was hard to get a permit. Similar for Indian students that did their ETH Master in mechanical engineering, etc. All the students that I know wanted to stay and work in Switzerland.

2) Again, I might be wrong, but I feel a number of CS PhD students in ETHZ and EPFL are getting paid by European programs (e.g, ERC). So, it's not necessarily Swiss taxes that pay these people.

3) At the end of the day, the Swiss government or any government is making an investment on those students. As any investment, it might be profitable or not. Some students might stay in the country and pay back the investment by founding companies, getting good salaries and paying higher taxes, etc. versus some students that might just go back to their country. Actually, to me, it seems like a pretty good investment. If some student studies in China and then comes to Switzerland, Switzerland might have to pay for his/her education for a Master and a PhD, but Switzerland never paid for his kindergarten, primary, high-school and college years, etc., because for example China already paid for this.

4) Most of the papers getting published in universities (at least for CS) are published due to the hard work done by graduate and post-graduate students (with the help of their supervisor of course). Even if the students decide to leave Switzerland afterwards, they still increased the research-throughput of the Swiss university in which they worked. I believe we can agree that, that in itself is good.
I think he may have meant what I said in my sister comment but I think you're probably right about that being a factor. I googled "are minorities more likely to speak against injustice" hoping to find some threads of discourse or studies, but everything was coronavirus related... perhaps another time when search engines aren't trying to decide what I need to see.
Quite different from rural Norway which has the same landscape issues but perfect infrastructure.
How's the situation with python packages that have native code parts?
Previously they had to be compiled during installation, which wasn't easy on Windows.

In one case, an organizer was fired for refusing to not come to work after being put on "quarantine", three weeks after he was initially exposed and not given any leave, and no one else involved in the exposure was quarantined.

The specific incidents Bray discussed seemed to be on a private internal list, and specifically related to AECJ so probably not this issue - I doubt anyone will leak it as unless there's something especially egregious (not just specious justification, but something like a racial or sexist slur) it doesn't really benefit either side.
I think you can trust that it's the real reason, because either way it's going to make him radioactive for the next gig like this.

No large company keeps its hands completely clean. Defense contracts, Chinese censorship, exploiting addiction, anticompetitive behaviour, sexism, the list goes on.

Having a public figure at your company that's willing to martyr themselves to push the knife in just a little deeper when you have a scandal is a dumb idea.
> Let it burn

That may well be ok for you to say but thousands of people have already died as a direct consequence of Trump's presidency. Hundreds of thousands more have been penalised for their race, beliefs, sexuality, etc. Generations to come will suffer because of the regulations they're undoing and the courts they've packed with Federalist wingnuts. Have some compassion, c'mon.
Forcing content out off mainstream media quite plainly does limit the spread of information and does limit radicalisation, we have plenty of examples of that. Conartists rack up millions of views because they can use free infrastructure of companies (companies that in turn convert human attention into profit via advertising, the sale of user data etc.). Without access to the infrastructure they can't have their business flourish as it does.

The link with Brexit and T you make doesn't make sense either, both of these phenomenon got plenty public exposure, with all information available to those who wanted to find it. The central theme tieing both those developments was the ability for people to use the architecture built by digital corporations to quickly spread misinformation unopposed. People receive the information in isolation, they don't get it side-by-side with other views. People engineering the spread of misinformation know it's not a fair contest, that's why it is so effective.

And that's the point being missed by people who say keep the content up and let bad ideas be exposed by better arguments, the problem is that the ideas aren't being opposed or presented in a robust way. Hosts like Brian Rose and others for instance interview in a way that don't challenge their controversial guests, instead they add credibility to their guests. And because we are thinking of these characters as individuals expressing themselves and exchanging their personal views, people are distracted from the fact that they are businesses operating a money making scheme. And they are only able to do that on this scale because they can use other corporate infrastructure for free.
JavaScript: The difference between match() and matchAll()
This is a pretty common opinion here on HN, and colleges regularly get criticized for being nothing but a brand name.
I see a lot of comments suggesting YouTube is a large & monopolistic enough platform that they have to be held to a different standard than a private company, more like a public utility.

YouTube is a private company, and they're hosting exabytes of video content for free. You don't need to pay (with money) to upload terabytes of video and have it streamed to millions of people. Just 20 years ago that would have been unimaginable. Even today I think it's taken for granted a little too much.

If YouTube did what we want, I reckon they'd be out of business pretty fast as they get overrun with the kind of content they currently don't allow.
> Another problem is the "I know better" attitude.

All good software is based on this attitude. Wait, I hear you interject. You have examples to disprove this. Well whatever it is you might think isn't the "I know better" attitude is probably just the same "I know better" attitude with one layer of abstraction.
How is this different from LibrePCB and why you have not joined forces together?
I'd bet that any "privileges" faxes might had stem from the fact that they were automatically printed. This makes life a lot easier in a paper-backed office, so they made it a requirement to fax any "formal" communications.
The elephant in the room is back annotation. No one who has used EAGLE professionally will (or at least should) ever be happy with a package that doesn't keep the PCB and schematic synchronized automatically without user assistance or interaction.

I've heard the KiCAD people are working towards this goal. If they pull it off, it'll be a game-changer. I'm definitely rooting for them.
If that's the case, perhaps it's also newsworthy that only one VP stepped down from Amazon for these public reasons? And doesn't that make him newsworthy anyway for being one out of a thousand?
If I go into a restaurant and order pork, but get served beef, I have a right as a customer to complain. It doesn't matter whether beef is in some way better than pork, or whether other customers are perfectly happy with beef, or whether I eat beef myself at other times. I order pork, I expect pork.

If the restaurant can't serve me pork, for example because they've run out, then the right answer is still not to just assume I'll be ok with beef instead.

I don't see how "this other thing is of equal value" (which is debatable in itself) is a defense to a claim that I'm not getting the product or service that I signed up for?
> At the end of the day, it’s all about power balances. The warehouse workers are weak and getting weaker...

Whenever I speak to someone working in a "low-skilled" job, I'm always astonished and embarrassed by how different their work environment sounds to the kind of offices I work in. There seems to be a consistent theme of employees being treated with suspicion, condescension and outright hostility.

This gets to the heart of the idea of "privilege", and why it can be so difficult to see yourself as privileged. Because it often involves nothing more than being given a basic level of trust and respect that, once you have them, can seem like a bare minimum, not something that you would need to fight for.
