Résumé/CV: https://safareli.github.io/resume
Email: email is in the resume

Senior Software Engineer primarily specializing in front-end web engineering, ranging from writing responsive CSS in a modular and scalable way to using strongly typed purely functional language like PureScript. I have also made significant contributions to the backend side of the projects ranging from Haskell, Go, Node.js to Drupal.

I have contributed significantly to open-source functional communities in JavaScript, PureScript, and Scala. I’ve invented version of the Free Applicative structure with most optimal asymptotics (and stack safe), which was adopted in PureScript and Scala from my original JavaScript version. Implemented stack safe version of PureScript's Effect monad. Was mentioned in Acknowledgments of Build Systems à la Carte and Selective Applicative Functors. (links are in the resume)

Besides my technical skills, I have worked closely with designers and product people discussing how to deliver better UX when there are hard technological constraints (for example implementing UI/UX for already deployed smart contracts on Ethereum blockchain), proposed alternative UI/UX sketches for better solving user problems. I've been working remotely for the past couple of years and can collaborate productively in asynchronous teams.

I’m looking for remote full-time opportunities where I would be a good fit with my broad experience and provide the most value.

I just learned that Prop 13 was actually a constitutional amendment to limit property taxes. I've lost my ability to even. That's such an abuse of the constitution.
It works both ways though.

When it is a gun safety issue on the ballot (see Washington state ballot measures over the past years) the people are letting the government know that they want fewer guns in society.

I suppose it is special interest groups pressuring politicians that prevent them from enacting certain bills popular with the public. Ballot measures seem to be a check on that.
Hm. Many people here share their sentiments of perceiving older games (or current games) as being close to photorealistic. Personally it never felt that way to me. All games have obvious problems where they don't behave/look anywhere close to reality. If you remove the interactive element and only use somewhat massaged screenshots, then, sure certain elements are basically photorealistic and have been for a while. For example, landscapes look pretty darn realistic. Anything alive or even most man-made artefacts, not so much.

Apart from graphics most stuff in games is pretty rough. Animations are generally bad and ways before reaching the uncanny valley of "getting close"; they're still in the "abstract representation of concept" detail level. AI is dumb (largely for [perceived] player-acceptance reasons). Sound is generally poor; some games still don't use 3D sound. Physics are "abstract representation" level again, some games still have fly-through walls and vibrating items. etc. etc.
But why can't they expose these controls independent of the Touch Bar? I actually find it ridiculous as a 2015 MBP owner that there is no easy native way to do this basic thing unless, apparently, you have a Macbook with a Touch Bar
I mean, I would think this would just be using a larger font size for their bitmap, no?
My mbp does not behave that way. purchased new in 2019. Mojave 10.14.5 IIRC.
Maybe it beats with RTX
Oh man I’ve been looking for something to control volume like this forever. Doing audio over DisplayPort/HDMI locks me out of controlling volume (since it’s handled by the monitor) so I’m really hoping this helps with that.
On the former, I'm quite aware of that. What I'm not aware of is this sort of loyalty screening for low-level employees, as suggested.

On the latter, you're getting closer to the point I'm making.
Why do you think anal/oral sex should be treated different from vaginal?
Presumably the TV size increase when we went from CRTs to plasmas and LCD panels around the same time was a big factor.
A very focused rider required on contracts that employment can't be terminated due to political speech outside of work hours. Make that one of a small handful of similar riders required by companies to hire 'union' members and I think you'd end up with a LOT of people joining that union.

It would remove a lot of leverage of the twitter mobs if they know ahead of time the target is protected.
Is visa okay?
An encounter with law enforcement is not necessarily a straightforward exchange of facts. If someone is under suspicion, then law enforcement personnel will ask questions or give commands to see how a suspect reacts.

In 2019 there was a massive exodus of Saudi dissidents from Twitter to Parler. I wonder if those people had some intuition of what was going on behind the scenes at Twitter https://www.thedailybeast.com/about-200000-saudi-arabian-use...
I think you misunderstand what "correctness" is really about. To me at least it's about creating a small set of powerful abstractions that can be applied generally to any problem. In order for those abstractions not to "leak" they need be really rigorously defined. The alternative I think is to have a lot of ad-hoc abstractions for each application that break as soon as requirements change. I really, really disagree with the idea that bad code that ships is always better than code that doesn't. That is how we get software that is riddled with security issues. Even if the specific application isn't that important, it very well might be a major catastrophe if it has a severe security vulnerabilities that allows an attacker to get a root shell on a server in your internal network.
It all comes down to geopolitics. Iran and China will get the bad cop treatment, while Saudi Arabia gets kid gloves.

I think you're being sarcastic, but most of those industries pay a living wage to their employees -- or they did until some SV scabs showed up -- unlike Amazon's warehouse workers.
Ads do get penalized for being a bad fit: they get a lower quality score and cost more.

Meanwhile, ads are distinct from search. The #1 result refers to the first result past the ads.
How did you host this project? Did that have a significant cost?

The primary complaints with Amazon though are about working conditions, not pay.

I don't even think it is about ruthless cost-savings, as it is about ruthless efficiency of the system. They are building an automated warehouse/supply-chain, they just happen to be using real-robots for some of it and humans for other parts. They humans are just cogs, with machine dictated instructions. Much of the misery probably isn't even intentionally, but they still are culpable for it. They need more constraints on how humans are used within their system. Just using a minimum rest period (even more gracious ones than state mandates) is not enough, if you presume humans are working at 100% efficiency, constantly moving and doing for the rest of the time. And not to mention that excludes human desires like autonomy. Accounting for that, while not hindering efficacy too much is an interesting systems problem that Amazon's industrial engineers should be spending more time addressing (though I'm sure they already are investing significant effort, just clearly isn't enough).

There is a problem with "cheap" monitors and DDC/CI: some of them use EEPROMs to store brightness settings, and this limits you to about 100,000 writes.

Worrying about this is the main reason we don't ship DDC/CI with f.lux. (I know that some more modern monitors use NAND and don't have limitations like this.) Anyone know if these fears are overblown?
I agree, it's so close that it's actually being used as an interactive movie background with a big-ass 360-degree screen for dynamic scene and lighting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hjb-AqMD-a4
tbh he pricing is much better than I expected. I'll get one for my new build, but probably a 3rd party as I'm not convinced by the cooling on the FE as of yet.
Whenever unions are mentioned on HN there always seems to be a coordinated effort to attack them in the comments, very interesting.
The latter was new to me.

As a tentative but enthusiastic Lisper interested in Clojure but not Java, I like that Joker is implemented in Go, and its pragmatic approach (such as feature parity with Clojure being a non-goal).
We changed from https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/special-event/?nvid=nv-..., which is a video of (what looks like) the same material.

Do you really think banning CCP backed companies from hoovering up the personal data of Americans en masse is an extreme?

Every country enforces their laws. If a US company violated gdpr, I would expect them to be fined and banned from the EU.
No. I'm not trying to be sarcastic. Autoruns (seriously) has helped me stop so much malware from running. I'm a Windows sysadmin for my sins, and find the whole Sysinternals suite invaluable and super necessary for my job.
This assumes that bad code is, at worst, worth nothing which isn't the case. Bad code that crashes a mission critical system is absolutely worse than nothing. Or to take your Windows example, I could argue that the problem with Windows was the opportunity cost. If Windows didn't take over the world maybe we would have more choices when it comes to desktop OSs
I've got a few years on you evidently; I was in a college mechanical drafting class that had just let out after the disaster. As it was at UCF east of Orlando, I had to but look East and see it.
If that were true then how come existing social safety netting in the form of unemployment benefits haven't helped people stuck in this type of situation?
My experience has been that my monitor has limited volume control capability (compared to the knob on my external speakers, which are plugged into the monitor).

Outrageous hyperbole.
I expect it's sincere but with a hint of sardonic edge that such a simple and widespread tool found its way into the guidance issued by nation state level intelligence agencies. Kind of like if NASA issued workmanship standards for the ISS and mentioned the utility of a hammer.

Not saying this is the case, but it occurs to me... that would be a good way to sabotage the start of an union. Just send some aggressive people posing like members of the union.
Or, even better, fix that performance problem and watch the cores quiet down... :)
It's 50% in ray-tracing performance, not raw performance, and it doesn't have big memory bandwidth improvements. It's not the Titan successor, it's the 2080Ti.

You can see this because the chip name is GA102, the 2 at the end indicates that this is a cut-down chip.

Union activists in the UK have a reputation of being bullies, and in some cases in the past they've used physical violence to try to get people to do things their way.

At the height of union fever back in the 80s it got so bad at one point that union activists dropped a concrete block on someone's head from a bridge because he was trying to get into work and they thought he should be striking (David Wilkie.)

I would not appreciate union goons showing up at my door and I'd have a similar reaction.
So you would be okay with police driving behind you for years, waiting for you to make a mistake?

Uneven application of even a just law is still unjust, and also undermines trust in the justice system.
That sounds like bad regulations and bureaucracy more than credential-ism, but I agree that is horrifying.

A blanket pay bump for "Master's" degrees written into the code? Clearly that's going to be gamed.

If any auditing actually went into the source and value of the credentials then they could be appropriately valued or ignored, depending on the case.
That’s interesting. Even if I look at current state of the art graphics today I don’t think for a second that it’s anything close to indistinguishable from reality (not to say it’s not good or impressive).
The apple thunderbolt displays have some keyboard shortcuts IIRC, but that has its own host of problems
> Bad code that ships is better than good code that doesn't

But for how long? At some point, the technical debt that comes along with rushing out bad code will come back to bite you. You might be able to get a workable prototype for cheap but if it's a project that you want to sell and support long term, you may just be setting yourself up for failure down the road.
That's some awesome detective work and … wow, it sure would be nice if IPv6's extended address space allowed for less IP address reuse.

These propositions are implemented by Revenue and Taxation Code section 69.5.

> We've already established that new nurses have a training program to get familiar with the system

You've made the claim. But really, that's just washing your hands of the problem. I've been part of that training. I'd call it a joke, but there's nothing funny about it. You aren't going to get familiar with these systems in an afternoon seminar with the vendor's representatives.

You say this:

> You can argue discoverability all you want -

Then just make my argument for me.

> because of the clutter and poor design of the system

Reducing clutter would make things more discoverable. Making things discoverable is part of good desing.

I'm not saying "make it shinier". That's a poor inference on your part.

I'm saying the metrics by which we are using to design these systems are just flat out wrong. They are confusing the what with the how. And I'm not even getting into how sometimes you actually want things to be complex or hard to reach because you want the action to be deliberate.

Counting clicks is wrong. And anyone who advocates for it is also wrong. Discoverablity makes things easier to use. For the people who use it. You have this platonic ideal of a user who always knows the software in and out. That user does not exist. Any given user will only really use about 20% of the software, but every user will use a different 20%. So that other 80% needs to be discoverable. You shouldn't need to memorize or hunt down on a screen of options for it.

And since that 80% is different for all users, it logically follows that the entire system needs to be discoverable.

And that's not to say you can't implement shortcuts and hotkeys and what not. But really, any software shouldn't be making people think to much about how they're doing something so they can focus on what they're doing.
I think most people reading it don't realize this. I thought it was pretty obvious when I first read it that the odds of replicating what Tim did was very low. It's about as likely as those people who lucked out on some affiliate keyword and now making $500k+ a year with a static html page with affiliate links and consistently places in first place on google. Plenty of stories of this happening, even on HN

I stand corrected. That is hilarious!
Obviously must be underestimating because I feel like I’m in the wrong job reading this stuff!

Overall it’s a good thing that the internet can provide the “long tail” for content when it used to be dominated by a few major players, often with big barriers to entry.

For example I’m happy to buy self-published tech books. Thorsten Ball’s “Writing an interpreter / compiler in Go” series comes to mind. Those books don’t see the light of day in the old model. His books are well written and original.

So if you have a niche and someone produces content, esp high quality content, then by all means support it. But saying someone’s name in a live stream, sending some nude photos, etc. doesn’t seem to have much original value.

At the time, it was needed, and I think there is an aspect of the caps that is also needed given how much the state desires to tax pretty much everything it can. The business ownership of property aspect of Prop 13 should be addressed.

I'd be fine with Prop 13 going by the wayside if there was a way to reign in taxes in CA across the board - won't happen.
