20 Years of IT practise, a bachelor in business-psychology and management experience:

I have done projects regarding the conception, construction, maintenance, marketing and distribution of online applications my entire live and like to think of myself as the interface between the people involved and the machines. I have spent 5 years as CTO of various Startups and have founded 3 myself. I believe that there really is a right tool for the job and that microservices help realize this immensely. Lately I have been spending a lot of time with Kubernetes and therefore upgrading projects to the cloud. I help companies achieve their technology goals by automating their development operations, giving new wind to legacy projects and by restructuring the connection between their customers / partners or teams. I love to interface with others departments to bring the shared vision to live and flourish with the challenges on the way. I am well suited for solo projects but also love working with bigger teams and have lead diverse international groups myself.
True. Like anything, you only learn the REAL practice of it by doing it. In my case, I found a lawyer who made a practice of taking novices & training them (then they'd eventually go on to higher-paying jobs).
I was on IRC in 93/94 (mainly IRCNet), a couple of years after it all started, and especially in those days it was a total shitfight. Technology around the platform moved at a rapid pace and there was this constant race going on between network admins and malware writers. At that time IRC clients supported a lot of scripting and much of that was used for abusive stuff. Like auto ban/kick, forcing netsplits in order to become admin by abusing protocol issues etc. The problem was bigger than spam alone. It was so bad it put me off IRC for almost a decade before I got back into it.

Since then IRC has actually evolved into a more mature userbase but its inherent lack of protection to this and the ease of writing a bot makes a few idiots capable of spamming the entire IRC world.

Nevertheless like I said in another post I think this is just a tradeoff we have to learn to live with. Being fully open is great, but comes with drawbacks and implied trust. I still prefer it as it is.

ngrok | Platform/Infrastructure Engineers

ngrok is building the programmable edge. We expose a global network (think CDN), load balancer/ingress proxy, and middleware behind a great developer experience.

Members of the Infra team, you?, wrap hairy distributed systems problems with a developer-centric bow. Our current stack includes Go, Rust, TypeScript, Nix, K8s, Postgres, and AWS.

We are ONSITE in the office a few flexible days each week, but fully remote during Covid.

We’d love to hear from you - feel free to shoot me an email at reuben@ngrok.com.
Does this support writing audio sample processing code in JavaScript? From the examples it looks like JavaScript code connects together pre-existing audio processing nodes, but it's unclear if you can write your own nodes in JavaScript.

Also, the use of the term "pure function" confused me. Pure functions have no side-effects (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pure_function). Why is this necessary? It seems like non-pure functions could generate the graph of nodes too, so restricting ourselves to pure functions seems like a limitation. Or does the term "pure function" actually mean "in functional programming style" (i.e. functions, not objects) in this blog post?

When I heard a new OS release actually made things load faster and uses less disk, I was shocked as I was spoiled to think every new OS release requires more hardware resource by the dumb engineering of Windows which relies on hardware improvement to sustain its lazy bloat.
As someone who got an offer from Amazon (and declined it) recently, this is how you do it. It's impossible to think of these anecdotes on the fly. Take your time and rack your brains for them. Once you have 14 anecdotes, you're good to go. You'll use a couple in the screening interview and then several during the final 5 interviews. It's preferable not to reuse anecdotes.

Insurance. You should start with life insurance to take care of your family. You can also get insurance to cover your inability to work due to injury or anything else, and that policy would be purchased by the business entity instead of you personally.
FU money isn’t about being able to satisfy every whim and hold up to anyone else’s standard.

Almost nobody in the whole world can afford to send their children off to a $500k college.

Not even after saving up half of everything they’ve earned across their entire life. I don’t care much about holding myself up to such an unreasonable standard.

Noboxy in the world is entitled to expect anyone else to pony up such an amount of money for them either.

If I can

- put a roof over their head,

- clothes on their backs,

- feed them well every day,

- provide them a good health insurance,

- send them to school

- and afford one or two extra-curricular activities

- as well as one or two vacations, preferably abroad, a year,

I’ll have more and be able to provide them with more than most people ever had, have and expect to be able to in their entire lives.

If I can do so without ever needing to work again, it absolutely is enough for me to tell any employer to go find someone else to do the job and please don’t let the door hit them on their way out.

To me, anything more is an extra nice to have that I don’t owe to anybody.

You appear to have a different point of view. That’s fine. To hold yourself to a different standard. That’s okay too. It’s your life.

You also seem to have a hard time grasping that different people have different needs, and to consider that everybody else should abide by your standards.

This, well… is fine too, I guess.
It can be very difficult what is best, but it is easy to measure that they are not the best in many ways. They can work on improving those.
Thanks! Last few years I’ve been a data science manager, and my education is in engineering physics, but I have a lot of experience with software (also as a consultant / running a small consulting company).

Focusing on an industry domain (rather than toolset) seems smart. It’s difficult to be productive in new/unfamiliar knowledge domains and I’m sure buyers understand that.

Themis | Founding Engineer | NYC (HQ) and/or Remote (Anywhere between Texas <=> Ukraine) | Full-time

Governance of fintech doesn't have to be an obstacle. New finance companies needs tools which simplify governance on a daily basis to help them focus on their platform's core value.

Our goal at Themis is to streamline recording and sharing of the information necessary for a company to demonstrate their governance is solid. The companies most in need of a tool like Themis include new disruptive companies in defi, crypto, and neobanks and established players community and larger banks. Effectively we're putting governance information on rails for companies who previously had to maintain large teams of employees to meet these strict requirements.

We have seed funding are in pilot testing with our first customers. Read about us at https://www.askthemis.com

We're seeking a senior engineer to join the founding team to lead the engineering effort, provide guidance on architectural choices and deliver new functionality.

We're also seeking junior engineers who are looking for rapid growth. We strongly believe in mentoring and helping team members grow to their career goals.

A while back, the car I had had a bad blower motor. I looked it up, found a video that showed where and how to replace it. I got the part online and was able to do it myself.

It was a fairly simple replacement too. The motor was actually situated under the dash on the passenger side and was about as difficult as installing/replacing a computer fan.
You are grossly misinterpreting their lobbying efforts. They are lobbying to keep energy expensive, because if energy becomes to cheap (as would be the case with wide adoption of renewables, better insulation etc) they would loose out on profits.
I think it just goes into the already wet ocean?
The revenue is generated on ads via spying on users. So they do not care about Android devs.
The people benefiting from lobbying make the rules about it.
> This tells us very little because every society can be viewed as "contextual" in that sense

Oh yeah that's definitely what I mean. Every society at the bottom of it is "might makes right", and then they can be judged by what they do when they obtain a monopoly on might. And at least some of the time, the US used that might to stick up for the rights of people many others wouldn't. But also we drove Native Americans from their homes in a super brutal fashion, practiced one of the most violent forms of slavery in history, etc.

And I assume people of the future will look back on us and recoil at some perfectly regular things we do now, like work in coal mines, use air conditioning, eat meat, put kids in schools, whatever. We exist in this context too. All humans everywhere fail, but I think it's what we aspire to that defines us.

And so I think the jury is still out on the US. I think it's not even really clear what we aspire to at this point--it maybe was in 1789 but that context is gone. In this new context, what is it we stand for? We need to have that conversation as a society. I think it's worth pointing out that we're ultra bad at it, but maybe if we reify this concept, we can start getting better at it.
“Survival of the fittest” is a overused phrase that does not do true justice to evolution.

While not explicitly untrue it invokes associations with purely competitive dynamics which does not do justice to the intricacies of evolutionary dynamics, nor to the intricacies of co-creating things in the modern world.
If that counts as querying a graph then SQL is also a graph language. If anything SQL is more advanced because it can query a hypergraph.
Maybe it's not required. However, I can confidently say Clojure in emacs feels like an entirely different development experience than my daily Python work in PyCharm/VSCode and C# in VS. I recommend trying it out if you haven't already.
In the US, bribing politicians is seen as a free speech issue, and not corruption for some reason.
It's funny even though hardware had improved significantly over the years, nothing is faster from the user's perspective, moreso for Windows and it doesn't even mean we get satisfied proportionately.
But that doesn't affect whether this is historical, or an outlier. The article says it hit 88.8F where the average June high is 68F (they say "hits 68F", but they mean "is 68F"). I don't know what their variance is on annual June high, but surely it's not normally a 41 degree range.
I don't exactly get how this helps Disney. Does Disney even have a social media web site? Was it looking to be able to block politicians in a way that would come afoul of this law?

I'm sure in general Disney is happy to be exempt from any regulations just to save themselves the headache and keep its options open. But I'd imagine they called in some political favors to get this exemption, and I wonder why they didn't save those favors for something that matters more.

(I do realize that favors don't work like currency, and don't get "spent" just once. Still, they ended up leaving really blatant fingerprints on something that I suspect they just don't want to be involved in.)

The trend is more extreme weather, so you get lots of rain over a few days then a dry month. So your soil gets waterlogged and then you don't get enough water a few weeks later.
Meanwhile, I'm sitting in my home office, looking out at the rain through the window in what is one of the worse summers with current highs well below 70.
Gaussian processes are great for this. Another easy option is to bootstrap the estimator, though for large models that isn't feasible.

If I could choose, I would rather that this wasn't a requirement but rather an option. As it stands there is little that can be done about it (unless I open source my code and start publishing on F-droid).
You will not be able to know who did this. It is similar to the dumb teen idea of a prank where they would put your phone number in an ad for a cheap pizza delivery service.

My wife had a similar problem and she changed her phone number.
SEEKING CONTRACT WORK | UX/UI and web design

Location: Remote + Edinburgh, UK

Email: sw@seanw.org

-----

Hi! I offer UX/UI and web design services to startups to help them improve the usability and presentation of their products. I have an edge in coming up with practical design ideas that keep development constraints in mind because I'm also an experienced full stack developer that sells apps I've made myself.

The best live example of my work is Checkbot (https://www.checkbot.io/), a paid browser extension that tests websites for SEO, speed and performance problems that's designed to be novice friendly. The entire project is my own work including UX/UI design, branding, the extension (using TypeScript, Node, Vue and Firebase), custom website design (optimised for fast loading) and all copy/articles/guides on the website.

[ Checkbot is rated 4.9/5 across ~700 reviews on the Chrome Web Store, 40K+ active users, 100s of paying subscribers ]

I have 10+ years of experience and I've been working for myself for about 5 years. I've completed projects for 20+ companies including Just Eat and Triumph Motorcycles, and I have a PhD in software verification. See my website for testimonials, portfolio and more: https://www.seanw.org

Email sw@seanw.org with a short description of your project and how you think I can help. I'll get back to you within one working day so we can arrange a call and work towards a quote.
You said 'Voters should be allowed to lobby' - but a charity isn't a voter. Other things that aren't voters but most people think should be able to lobby in a healthy democracy include unions.

An Initial Inspection of FidelityFX Super Resolution
Ah, if only you'd seen some of the claim construction briefs and opinions I've seen. The text is not the ONLY authority, and if it contradicts common practice then the lawyers can argue about it.

For example, in chemical cases, you cannot have your own definition of "methylated." There are standard definitions of terms. Regrettably, in software not so much.
