Location: Philadelphia, PA, US

Remote: Yes, unless in Philadelphia

Willing to relocate: No

Technologies: Program/Product Management, UI/UX development, .NET (C#/Xamarin), some web tech such as Rails many years ago, and always open to becoming familiar with other tech, especially if you work on open-source

Resume: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paul-dipietro/ (please email for a proper resume);

Email: paul dot dipietro at outlook dot com

About me: I just recently had my role eliminated (i.e. laid off) at Microsoft after five years with the Xamarin team. I'd been with Xamarin since before their acquisition, having joined in 2015. If you're familiar with the platform, you've probably seen me around. I've contributed to the Xamarin.Forms project in the past both via writing some code as well as PM work, and have additionally worked on tooling and UI/UX inside Visual Studio, written some documentation from time to time, amongst a number of other things.

I'm looking for PM-oriented roles, potentially with an emphasis on design, but am open-minded. Please reach out over email if you'd like to chat as I feel I have a lot to offer having worked across various areas of software development as a whole. As I've just relocated back to Philadelphia and have obligations to stay here, I'm seeking remote opportunities at this time (with the exception of local positions, of course), but have worked remote for the last several years. Infrequent travel is of course acceptable in the future.

Here’s the crux.

If you’re willing to argue that he should have little trouble, then excellent: we’ve got a barometer for whether discrimination is a factor.
It's important to say that BURP only deals with http like requests ( http/https websockets ) and the app can be sending/receiving data via other protocols, the same way you can't see whatsapp messages via burp [0]

I live in a place where I’d loosely characterize people as compliant (at least with re local and state gov). At the beginning people wore masks at every outdoor occasion, now with warm weather things have changed and it’s like a California stop. They wear it if someone’s looking, otherwise many are off.
The Samsung is missing LTE bands 14, 18, 25, 26, 29, 30, 39, and 71.

The Samsung is larger, which I view as a negative, but that explains how they can have a larger battery capacity.

And it looks like the Samsung does not have the pull tabs for the adhesive underneath the battery[1]. We don't yet have a tear-down of the Pixel 4a but google has been reliably including pull tabs in their phones for years.

I think you are making an overly broad characterization of how the US views and treats low skilled workers.

Also, you seem to equate being latino with being undocumented, which is not the case.
This post says "US,Europe,Canada" but the job application asks about ability to work in the US so I wasn't able to get further :(

Every professional, expert, specialist, or technician feels this way about the stuff they know. "Why don't people know [basic thing about their work]? What a bunch of uneducated morons." The answer is because if they knew all the basic stuff about all those fields to be what those experts judge to be informed consumers, and took the time to apply that knowledge, they wouldn't have any time left to 1) actually buy products and services, or 2) learn what they need to know about their own field. Also because being an uninformed consumer works out more-or-less OK much of the time, largely because regulation prevents the worst sorts of abuses.

In the specific case of tracking/spying I'd imagine lots of people (not most, but many) have considered the possibility, then dismissed it without looking into it any further because it seems like something that would obviously already be illegal, and assuming things that seem like they ought to already be illegal are already illegal often gets one to the correct conclusion—just not this time. Those sorts probably assume that if a law enforcement agency gets a warrant or something then they might start tracking locations using cell phones, but not that the cell phone company is already doing that 100% of the time to everyone, since, again, it really seems like something that'd be illegal. I think a lot of the "information economy" falls in this blind spot—that credit card companies would be selling your purchase history or google/your-ISP would be recording every single website you visit also seem, intuitively, like things that'd be very illegal, for example.

The idea was to share something short and quick to the point.

I understand the need for something longer. I like to think both long and short contents can co-exist; it doesn't have to be one or the other.

Wouldn't post a video though –– maybe a longer post :)
Counterpoint is that they picked one thing (laser printing) out of the dozens of ideas coming out of PARC and capitalized on it to the point that they were found to be a monopoly [0] and forced to license their patents [1].

Watch Alan Kay's "How to Invent The Future" talks from Stanford about this [2] and he talks in more depth.

I don't think any company could have built products around all of the ideas that came out of there and been successful, they would have been focused on too many things.

Upvoted you to help get you out of the negative.

I experienced agism for the first time when I turned 40. What used to be pretty much a guaranteed first interview after applying, turned into getting lost in the stack of resumes and never getting callbacks.

I decided to take a break from tech a year and a half ago after the worst burnout of my life. And with COVID-19, I've decided to extend that another year or two. There are just too many systemic problems in tech and I don't like the direction it's all going (survival of the fittest, dog eat dog, hyper-competitive, etc etc etc). So I've decided to do service work in the meantime in the areas that I've neglected, which right now is handyman work, moving towards renewable energy. I've always felt inspired by Jimmy Carter's work with Habitat for Humanity.

I knew about the various forms of prejudice in tech (that evolve from a feeling of being a reject growing up) but hadn't experienced them personally yet. So many young men especially have this feeling that everyone else is mistaken, and that they can do no wrong because they are the uber geek. Which clashes with their real-life experience of never being able to get a date, being broke all the time, working dead end jobs, etc. So they tend to overlook people who don't fit their expectation of what an expert looks like. Some of them grow out of it, but sadly a lot of us get trapped perpetuating the same patriarchy/misogyny/bigotry and similar systems of control without even realizing it. That's why I think it's so important to actively work towards justice and equity once we become aware of these issues.

>But they still have enormous rent costs

This here is one of the most important things anyone who wants to open a restaurant needs to consider. With Restaurants location is incredibly important and being in a great location carries significant costs.

Unless you own your space, you will have a difficult time making it a in the Restaurant business. you have to sell a lot of food to pay 5k-15k of rent every month leaving little in profit and savings.

The Restaurant business is brutal, even if your semi successful.

I am a huge retro fan. I go by the motto "Old computers never die, their users do."

Every computer that was ever made, is still just as useful as it was the day it was put into operation, for some reason. Okay, its not absolute: but as a first principle, computers are as useful as the user decides they are. Its just a decision.

I love my old machines. Its so fun, as a hacker and grey-beard developer who has seem some shit, to go back to the great ol' days of .. say .. CP/M .. and sit down and noodle on some code or other.

Or, hack around with tools like "8-bit Unity", which is an attempt to build a high-performance engine for as many 8-bit machines (6502-based) as possible, with modern toolsets. Actually, this is bonkers enough I just have to make sure you know about it, in case you don't already:

One set of tools, tons of machine targets, and .. who knows what these systems will get up to, when this gets into there right hands ..
Opening the windows more often may also help a lot. This is a very simple method to reduce risk of spreading. It is free and especially useful for places like schools. But I do not think I read about this in mainstream media. It's all about masks and social distancing.
maybe people shouldn't be able to make a living out awating rent? this is pure 'rent-seeking', I understand the appeal tho...

wouldn't it be nice if I didn't have to do anything at all for a living but wait for my tenants to pay up?

Sure, but headlines are still going to be "TikTok bans...", or at most "TikTok, which is owned by Microsoft, bans..." I doubt controversy related to TikTok is going to have much spillover on Microsoft. For the average person, Microsoft is still synonymous with Windows, Word, Excel, and maybe they've heard of this new thing called Azure.
> This because they're either with families, or they're with people whom take care of them.

This was a big reason why things got very ugly in Italy, and to a lesser degree Spain -- a lot of working adults live with their (older) parents. They pick it up and might be able to shake it off or call out of work for a week, but they end up bringing it home to their elderly parents.

The US has this too, doubly so since the millennial generation is more likely to live at home than ever, but compared to places like Italy there are far fewer people living with their 60 year old mother and 80 year old grandpa, all in the same house.
Honestly, this is truly amazing. I will take a quick moment to thank the Julia developers (and all the contributors) for such an awesome language—honestly, if you do any kind of scientific computing (at all) I really and truly recommend trying out Julia. The REPL and development loop are each a little different than the usual Python/R/etc., but it's such a cool language and it's so fast that it will feel like an incredible breath of fresh air. It's amazing to realize that writing down the first thing that comes to your head is usually like 80% as fast as a good, performant implementation. (As someone who has done a decent amount of work in performance engineering for embedded platforms, I really enjoy squeezing out the last drop of performance from most programs, but doing this for every single first-pass at a program, like in Python, is rather annoying if this is what is needed to get a usable implementation.)

Anyways, big props to the developers and contributors, even if this is just a "minor" release. I'm extraordinarily excited for the future of Julia and hope it continues to grow and be as awesome of a community as it is! :)
Yeah it's probably actually a sign of a healthy community that it has less informed members that feel safe to speak up. That's how they learn even if it can be hard to deal with.

lol "proper IDEs" ok...

vscode is one of the most used editors on the market and I seem to be able to produce quality software in a number of languages with it.

As for binary dependencies, I'm certain Rust will have that in the future. I'm fine without it for now, and what I'm not certain of is whether C++ will ever actually fix their problems because they seem to think they don't have any!
Yes. Cancel rent and ensure everyone regardless of employment gets some mini-UBI for essentials.

Any effort to preserve employment is stupid. People don't need to work, they need to eat and live under a roof.

Small business don't need to exist, either. We might want them too, in which case we should cancel commercial rent too. Or, we might give up on small business (https://www.thebellows.org/the-double-horseshoe-theory/), and instead increase the public spaces in the city so the fabric of society and adapt.
Wireless charging is pretty much a necessity for me at this point. It's not an expensive or bulky technology (I can get an adapter that fits under a case for $15), it really bothers me that they keep this feature gated behind the flagship price.

Really cool tool. A few reasons I'm excited about it:

- Even though I'm a dev, I find myself hating the maintenance of internal tools

- I looked through my GSuite and realize that I'm already using sheets to build micro apps. Each spreadsheet I create is a basic tool for collaborating around data. Adding a meta layer on top of it to enable things like permissions + better UI is a totally natural next step. I think there's a bit of an education piece to get spreadsheet users to realize that they're building micro apps, but once that aha moment happens, I think the value prop of stacker is really clear.

Excited to see where you all go :)

A good way to tell if a comment is rude or accusatory is to replace the people you're talking about with people you like.

> Just remember to acknowledge how exceedingly well this works for Jews and the uphill battle faced by others.

The above comment doesn't sound good and shouldn't be accepted by the community. Neither should the comment against whites.
Exactly so. When reality becomes too complex, we abstract some things away to get a simpler model. (This we "forget" about the finite and get infinity; ignore the jaggedness and get smoothness).
Rust actually can do things C++ can't do. People who use Turing equivalence to equate language capability are just uneducated imo.

There's another "truth" of PLs: Curry-Howard. So a language with a richer type system can express more propositions than a lesser one. Just because two languages are Turing equivalent doesn't mean they are Curry-Howard-equivalent.

So the things some languages can do that others can't happen at compile time.

And tbh, you'd probably be better served by a language that isn't Turing complete but allows you to express rich types than a Turing complete language with a bad type system. Very little of people's code needs Turing completeness.
That's amazing: "middle class" (pedantically, upper working?) beliefs rebranded as "luxury". In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king?

> your brain still made that decision

This is what I have always said when hearing these arguments. Our brain is us, what we see and decide is that part of the brain being broadcasted through out our mind. But people often times change their mind, stop them selves from doing something all the time which means our minds kinda run on a consensus.

IMO thoughts are like the interplay of various regions of the brain broadcasting it's say. For example when I contemplate something it's like a debate from a multitude of differing perspectives. So sure each thought was decided by a different region beforehand, but that's like saying words were spoken before being transmitted over the wire.
