One page both sides. Only list the most relevant positions.

I had to cut out positions very early on in my career because there were way too many to fit. I did some short contracting back in the days, imagine 5 jobs over less than 5 years.

Also removed all the dates for degrees and all the locations. (London recruiters have a bad habit to ignore experience outside London).
I was thinking the same thing "probably scraped it off of itself" xD

Wordpress community is a beast. The availability of so many themes and plugins is the main reason for wordpress' market share. I tried using Gatsby and Hugo, but if u want to add payment or shipping then you start feeling how limiting those tools are. U would find 1 or 2 solutions only if you are lucky. Otherwise, you have to write your own tool and spend time and money re-inventing the wheel.
But definitely some like Gatsby and Next.js run much faster, as they pre-render the pages, so they have their niches.
Try looking for a shipping plugin on wordpress, you will find different ones for different countries!!
This explains why wordpress share is almost 40%. It is the community!

I have found there is a Scratch extension using Scratch Link to communicate with the train (see https://scratch.intelino.com) , and I guess it should be easier to reverse-engineer that, I guess.
Do they ignore it, or are they using it for their own gain? For people who actually own property in San Fransisco, consider how enriched they have become by the obscenely rising rent/real estate prices. This comes along with them getting to keep their neighborhoods static instead of having to have a gigantic shadow erected across the street. Sure there are downsides, but you can always just sell and get our with a pretty sweet paycheck before those come to bite you.
If you look at the chart on use you'll see that use for anything other than electricity generation vanished a while ago - in part because there are better alternatives: diesel for trains, natural gas (which the UK has lots of) for domestic heating - with laws to improve air quality prompting this too.

Plus I suspect deepmine coal that the UK has used in the past will be pretty expensive to extract relative to the alternatives.

Thanks for writing this. I too can relate because these things used to bother me too. I like your math being the favorite subject anecdote because it's one I can relate to, and coaching colleagues and reports past the fear of looking like or even admitting that they're wrong has been a much more significant part of my career than I probably ever would have expected. The funny thing is that if you had told me that at the part of my career where it bothered me, I would have not listened. I had to stumble through it to realize everyone (including people like you) who warned me about this was right. I almost wonder if it's a rite of passage for engineers.
> An older QNX ran from a floppy with very few MB. With GUI and a browser with limited JS support.

It did and it was a very impressive tech demo....but it's not representative of a usable general purpose OS. Chrome or Firefox alone comes in at > 200MB. So there is no way you'd get a browser that would work with the modern web to fit on the 1.4MB floppy. And that's without factoring in fonts, drivers, a kernel and other miscellaneous user land.

The QNX demo was a bit like this N64 demo. Great for showing off what can be done but not a recommendation for what is practical.

> You could run Linux under a TTY for i386 with 2MB with some swap about 24 years ago.

That's still double the memory specification and yet Linux back then lacked so much. For example Linux 24 years ago didn't have a package manager (aside from Debian 1, which had just launched and even then dpkg was very new and not entirely reliable). Most people back then still compiled stuff from source. Drivers were another pain point, installing new drivers meant recompiling the kernel. Linux 1.x had so many rough edges and lacked a great deal of code around some of the basic stuff one expects from a modern OS. There's a reason Linux has bloated over time and it's not down to lazy developers ;)

Let's also not forget that Linux Standard Base (LSB), which is the standard distro's follow if they want Linux and, to a larger extent POSIX, compatibility wasn't formed until 2001.

Linux now is a completely different animal to 90's Linux. I ran Linux back in the 90s and honestly, BeOS was a much better POSIX-compatible general purpose OS. Even Windows 2000 was a better general purpose OS. I don't think it was until 2002 that I finally made Linux my primary OS (but that's a whole other tangent).

I mean we could have this argument about how dozens of ancient / partially POSIX-complient / unstable kernels have had low footprints. But that's not really a credible argument if you can't actually use them in any practical capacity.
Extremely thoughtful reply. This type of argument completely undermines the reality that a small number of highly-productive companies generate most of the GDP. It is not about the amount of workers.
You want to look into the Classic Editor, that was default up to WP 4.9: https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-editor/

This answer brings a lot of questions with it.

The rise of the far right in Europe is mostly caused by clashes of cultural norms of native Europeans vs. immigrant Muslims.

As of 2020, it is not entirely clear if France, for example, can prevent emergence of dozens of alienated urban zones which aren't part of the national whole in any meaningful sense - a scattering of small Gaza Strips across the map.

Neither is it clear whether all of the grooming gangs (mostly Pakistanis of Mirpuri origin) in UK have already been extirpated and how long will the P.R. disaster be remembered.

This is a huge headache, because even in the Islamic world, high fertility is typical for backward, bigoted regions. Secular urban centers like Tehran and Izmir are no better than Europe, as far as total number of kids goes, so they cannot serve as a reservoir of workforce.

Total fertility today is strongly negatively correlated with education of women, which means that most kids are born in places hostile to female education attainment. Such as Niger, Afghanistan or Yemen. But these are precisely the places whose cultural norms work as a bombshell when suddenly transplanted into Europe.

I had more luck with Gutenberg if I first copy-pasted what I was working on into Google Docs, sadly. It kept the paragraph breaks and the bullets, though it did a second line of them in Wordpress's "list" block, but that was easily fixed. It's really annoying, as I like to keep it all in Pages since I'm working on a manuscript for a possible book, but if that's what I have to do I guess that's what I have to do. Sadly, I've not found any other way.
I just got a SWE job offer at a FAANG and I'm in my mid-forties. I took the exact same interviews as anybody else. They've also been contacted me regularly for the last three years. My age isn't written on my resume, but they can easily infer I'm in my forties. My guess is that recruiters don't care as long as they think you have a chance passing the coding interviews.

I realize that older developers are slightly uncommon, but maybe it's also because they get bored and think they have better career prospects elsewhere. Personnally, I still love to code and learn new things, as I've always had. I'm used to working with people younger/older than me and it has never been an issue either.

That being said, I'm anxious that age becomes an issue along the road. There's also no denying that there is some sort of discrimination against older people. Simply look at the pictures on companies websites and presentation material, they clearly want to show how diverse they are except for older persons...

I'm just curious: older people working in big companies, have you ever discussed that with people in charge of promoting/ensuring diversity? I think there's a good point to make.

Unfortunately, I'm using Wordpress.com, which only allows plugins if you pay. I haven't looked at porting over to wordpress.org, but perhaps I should. I do agree Gutenberg is absolutely awful. Why they ever thought it was a good idea, and why they keep doubling down on it, I'll never understand.
For laborious work yes. For intellectual work not so much.
My current keyboard has no number pad for the same reason, but I miss it.

I agree, the bootloader is a massive shame! Personally I’d rather go with a power9 based board. But let’s see where this goes, it’s certainly interesting.
It depends on what kind of ergonomic keyboard you want I suppose. You could get an assembled 36-key GergoPlex for $160[0]. And I do think it's cheap to build a dactyl-manuform yourself if you have access to a 3D-printer.

If you just want to type with no(ok, less) pain the classic editor plugin is a good starting point.

I think Gutenberg has a chance to get good but it’s main problem is that no one is using it because no one is using it, because they are already used to plugins like WP Bakery and Elementor.
I imagine it's limited quite a bit by the odd way the Pi boots. It's the GPU, not the CPU (or a BIOS type setup), that initially runs the bootloader.
No, it isn't the "curation process". As always, the labor theory of value is complete bunk. The same process used to collect samples on Earth will not create the same value in the samples.

The value of the samples is the willingness of someone to pay for them. A particular group of scientists want to see what unexpected components and features are in the sample. Send the same sample to a group of vehicle engineers or surgeons or athletes and they won't be willing to pay that price.
Hi HN! I couldn't find a static site generator I liked for my website (I looked at Hugo, Jekyll, Gatsby.js, and the Pollen library for Racket). They were either too complicated for my needs or too difficult to extend via plugins. So I built one! Happy to answer any questions here.
Gutenberg is an absolute piece of crap, and is a UX nightmare. It exists solely for massaging Matt's ego.

Every single non-designer person I've created a Wordpress site for has yelled loud abuses at it and told me to disable it because they "just want to write a fucking blog post, not design a new web page each time". And each time I have to install a plugin to do that. Who the hell wants to create new blocks for each sub-heading and paragraph when they're writing regular articles? The old editor is much easier to use.

It may be easier to grow and great for humans, but reducing it to just that is like the people who want to subsist only on Soylent; it's missing the bigger picture about food.

Some people like eating things beyond just basic nutritional subsistence. It's why meat is so popular. We've also been eating it since time immemorial. The demand for meat isn't going away no matter how many cricket/insect ads you shove in people's faces. If anything, it just breeds resentment for sustainable food practices, because the rich and powerful will always still have access to meat products.

Making meat into a luxury product like the days of yore will not work. The monkey's out of the bottle on that one. We need to work with this fact, not around it.

I think the author conflates simplification of the whole codebase of a 3D rendering engine with the simplification of its architecture. Of course, complex image effects and arcane optimisation techniques will bloat the code, but real time ray tracing will allow throwing away whole series of hacks and tricks used now to produce believable image. The rendering pipeline will become much simpler in terms of stages.

Public awareness is the first major obstacle. Standing in the way of that means more people will die than necessary.

Calvin, I am retired Chemical Engineer in Toronto, Canada.
I live on the Toronto islands and occasionally use the subway or surface public system. The original subway through the core of Toronto was 'cut and cover', as they reach the outskirts they go to open cuts. Toronto is smaller than London, so the maxmimum underground path is small by comparison.
I agree with your paper. The cars integrate the net exposure and in the summer they transport heat into the underground clay, and from there is spreads away, with only a tiny increase in the underground temperature. I am sure a time chart of clay depth versus temperature along a time axis will show thermal waves that go deeper, and decrease to the mean clay temperature, At some depth the clay will become invariant and reflect the gradient from the deep earth to the surface. This is all well known.
In the summer the trains will gain more heat overground than underground. In the winter they will act as a heat export path from the underground to the surface. This will vary with day/night, cloudy or not, I suspect that the train speed will ensure max turbulent heat transfer to/from the air.
As for the refusal to engage, out here in Canada we have fossils in the ground, in your area they are employed in the London underground - twas ever thus...
These people are either incompetent or are conflicted in some manner that prevents them from confirming your cpnclusions. It could be their own studies confim your data, but this requires a large expenditure to remedy.
The only way to remedy this is to add a 2 inch layer of foam insulation to the exterior, with a suitable fire proof metal shell. This is best done by integrating into the design when the cars are built. It would be hard to add an insulated shell to a finished car, but your reflective paint would help. This will decouple the mass of the train
from the air. This will reduce the heat/cool energy needed and also reduce the heat carried underground in the summer, or exported in winter. The exterior surface, as you suggested, should be reflective, but unless cleaned daily by an automatic barn shower as they are stabled at dusk, they will soon lose much of their reflectivity.
