I'm a senior-to-staff-level individual contributor with 14 years of full-stack experience in a wide variety of technologies, languages, and problem spaces.

I've led and developed teams of up to twelve engineers, have 3 years of experience in a technical product ownership role, and have been fully responsible for the architecture, initial implementation, and ongoing production management and maintenance for systems currently used by millions in the health care space.

These include no-code web builders for forms and whole applications that have saved thousands of developer-hours and millions of dollars, HIPAA-compliant, versioned and fully-auditable data stores, configurable streaming data infrastructure system, and a workflow engine that is responsible for the coordination of a live production application that serves millions.

I view myself as a strong individual contributor who acts as both a force-multiplier for the team and a critical communications hub by being able to understand and translate the needs of a variety of stake-holders due to my truly full-stack business experience.
I just did that recently you can load a kernel module the driver will start working and the device will appear (if compatibility is setup correctly). You can remove the module and the device will stop and be removed from /dev.
SEEKING WORK - Remote, San Francisco, Washington D.C

I'm a full stack developer and designer.

I'll build you a minimal lovable product for a fixed $15K and in 8 weeks. For iOS apps, I use Swift. For web apps, I use Ruby/Rails, JavaScript.

Computational photography (what you call "some are enhanced with AI or whatever Machine Learning") is a perfectly legitimate evolution in the field of consumer photography. I'm not sure why you are so critical of it.
Or Didi who had the nerve to IPO outside of China on the NYSE on a date the CCP thought was too close to a party anniversary.
Billions of dollars allocated for rental relief is tied up in state capitals. One can count on the government to demonstrate inefficiency.

Yep, got the wrong Open* software. Not sure how I managed that.
Here's a conspiracy theory...China is not smashing its' tech industry. The CCP could be repositioning [financially] within the sector. Step 1 is to add regulation - which depresses market prices and gives the state more power. Step 2 is to swoop in and buy as much as is available at the [newly] depressed prices.

It's unlikely, but in their position it's what I would want to do.

My particular prediction for Machine Learning and Data Science is its going to become less and less Python vs R vs Julia.
and more like the situation we have for for web-servers.
Where basically every language has a solid quality webserver.
And like how now if your focus as a company (etc) is on webstuff you'll use Node or something with a excellent webserver and will hire accordingly,
but if you've got a big team that already uses java to make the desktop application, then you are not going to switch to Node (etc) for your new web offering: you will use the also very good TomCat or Jetty.
Similar if you focus on complex modelling you'll use Julia/Python for that and you will just use their webserver libraries to expose it.

The other way round will also occur (and definately already has started but i expect it to be more and more the case.)
You are a web-company wanting to do some ML on some data you won't even think of having a seperate Python/R/Julia program, you will just use the Node equivs (which I am sure today are good, but I don't know them).
Similar for the desktop applications in Java or C# they will just use their own ML / Data Science libraries.

And just like there is indeed a role for specialized web servers like Node, there will still be case where you do want to pull out the big guns and move over to Python/R/Julia.
but those will become rarer and rarer.

I guess you could say it is commoditization of ML/Data Science libraries.
gcc pedantic ignores the language flag, and clang and intel state they mirror gcc. So pedantic would be not C++11 even if you added that.

I use both macOS and Windows daily, and I think I saw like one BSOD in the last year, and quite a lot more kernel panics on macOS.

Regarding the software I use, I wouldn't say that it's any more stable on macOS than on Windows.
There is a book Accelerando by Charles Stross that talks about why neither case might be true - he shows a scenario where life ultimately transforms its host system into a matrioshka brain. At that point distance from the cloud is reduction in bandwidth to the parts of yourself that exist in that cloud- if the matrioshka brain can simulate billions of planets and leaving it makes you incredibly stupid by your normal standards why do it?

Hi @soared! Thank you so much for trying it out, glad that you liked it. :)
> get your head out of your edge cases

The Earth is the edge case, is the point we're making. All of the conclusions and deductions about what life must be like elsewhere that use Earth as their implicit foundation are going to be overfit to the data, so to speak. Organisms on Earth converge to similar forms: dolphins and fish, bats and birds, for instance, so the form is useful on Earth is a valid observation. Therefore, we can expect to see these forms throughout the Universe is a quite a jump.

I help non-technical founders build and launch Million Dollar MVPs.

Are you a non-technical founder struggling to find technical partners to help make your startup vision a reality?

I’ve spent the last ten years obsessing about how to help founders like you get their startups off the ground and into the marketplace.

Since leaving Google in 2015 and starting No Nerds No Problem, I’ve grown this company to 10+ nerds across 4 different countries, been featured in Bloomberg, and have helped more than 25 companies launch their MVPs and raise a combined $650M in fundraising.

And I can help you do the same.

Here's what my clients have to say:

“Before we started No Nerds' process, I wasn’t sure it would be worth it. Having gone through it, I can’t imagine it going any other way." - Sachin Gulaya (CEO, Alpine Vapors)

“James and his team stepped in at a critical moment in Wellness 4 Humanity's trajectory and delivered exactly what we needed to hit our deadlines." - Lian Pham (Founder, Wellness 4 Humanity)

“After three years of other agencies promising a lot but delivering little, getting to test a prototype after just a few weeks was very cool. From the first time we sat down, I really felt James got what I was trying to do.” - Andy Lin (Founder, Self Portrait Project)

Your third point about having to encode everything isn’t quite true. Your example is just brittle in that it doesn’t allow additional values to show up causing it to break when they do. That’s not a feature of static type systems but how you wrote the code.

This blog post[1] has a good explanation about it, if you can forgive the occasional snarkyness that the author employs.

In a dynamic system you’re still encoding the type of the data, just less explicitly than you would in a static system and without all the aid the compiler would give you to make sure you do it right.

Out of curiosity, what _should_ the US be working on? The only two things I can think of that really needs more man hours is space travel and quantum computing, but those fields are generally far from being revenue generating and require mountains of initial investment.

I agree that ad tech and social media are net negatives, but what are the alternatives? A dead economy, where most of the money circulates on necessities?

Not asking this sarcastically or rhetorically - genuinely want some good insight on what people who say the current direction of the US is poor think the direction should be.

MIDAS: https://www.nrel.gov/grid/midas.html

Multi-Timescale Integrated Dynamic and Scheduling

NREL researchers developed the Multi-Timescale Integrated Dynamic and Scheduling (MIDAS) framework to address the challenge of operating the grid with extremely high renewable penetrations by bridging the modeling and analysis gaps of different timescales between economics, reliability, and stability of grid operation.
I don't know the internals here, but I think I can make a plausible guess here. The index-only scan is generally triggered only when every column in your query is contained in the relevant index. In this case the index is a functional index, so it's not only plain columns in there. The function needs the data column, but the functional index already stores the result of the function. To the query planner it looks like the query needs the data column, while it actually doesn't need it.

This is a bit of an uncommon case that would need special handling in the query planner. So it's not that odd that it is not implemented yet, though I would suspect that it'll be added at some point.
Those territories weren’t “unoccupied” though. They were occupied and not consulted in the formation of Israel. It really is the root of the issue:

DefenseStorm is a cybersecurity startup that helps banks and other financial institutions manage the deluge of security data that they produce. We take all of the security critical information and then alert on what's important, generate reports, show cool dashboards, and simplify demonstrating compliance to their regulators and auditors.

I got my job here through an HN Who's Hiring post 5 years ago, and I love working here. Strong engineering culture - weekly hour 'topic sync' to share knowledge, minimal meetings, flexible hours/wfh, happy customers that give good feedback, and interesting problems to solve. Our engineering team has been fully remote for COVID and we are conducting interviews remotely, but we are just now starting to open up the office for those who are vaccinated and wish to come in.

For Devops, we are looking to add a SRE to improve our bus factor, help manage our Elasticsearch cluster hosted on AWS, use Terraform and Chef to keep our Java microservice architecture happy, build automation and internal tooling to streamline dev team processes, and otherwise make our systems run smoothly and securely. Our stack includes AWS, Elasticsearch, Terraform, Chef, Sensu, and Postgresql. Ideal candidates will have some experience in several of these and be good at grokking docs to quickly get up to speed on the ones they haven't used. Bonus points for containerization / orchestration technology experience.

For Full stack engineers, we use Angular, Typescript, Java 11, PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, and we're built on AWS. Our interview loop is one or two ~1-hour phone screenings, followed by a ~4 hours video call - and we've designed it to approximate realistic day-to-day coding and code review (no algorithm riddles).

The violence and suppression in the Soviet union started immediately. Trying to control the economy from the centre requires individuals give up choice not just in what they buy, but where they work.

As troksky said
"In a country where the sole employer is the State, opposition means death by slow starvation. The old principle: who does not work shall not eat, has been replaced by a new one: who does not obey shall not eat."

Who gets to decide what is allocated to whom? Giving these starting conditions it's no wonder in every single attempt at this has resulted in a death toll in the millions. Nothing the USA did from the outside forced these countries to starve, imprison and murder their own people. Why didn't this happen in the USA? Or the rest of the west? Why only in regimes that tried to control more aspects of an individuals life then ever attempted before? Most of the argument I am making is a poor rehash of "the road to serfdom".

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/299215.The_Road_to_Serfd...

Blaming the west for the terrors of Soviet Russia is as mistaken as blaming the allies for what the Nazis did in Europe.
> a lot of UK population basically got an ”organic 3rd vaccine dose”.

Isn't that how the vaccination regime is supposed to work, actually? With two jabs in, contracting Covid still comes with something like 4%..20% hit rate.[ß] However, with two jabs the risk of hospitalisation is mercifully low, and roughly half of the cases are asymptomatic.

So instead of vaccinated people overloading the NHS, when they do get unlucky, they are much more likely to get through with only mild symptoms. For majority that "organic 3rd dose" works as a booster shot. They can still infect others, though...

NB. As far as I know, there are no good studies on how Long Covid manifests in a vaccinated population. I think the working assumption is that very mild symptomatic Covid also ends up with less severe Long Covid, but have heard of no data to back that up.

ß: Depending on the study, the vaccine in question and the variant. IIRC 2xPfizer provides ~88% protection against Delta, 95%+ against earlier non-Beta variants; 2xAstraZeneca provides 60%+ protection against Delta, 90%+ against non-Betas.

Disclosure: UK resident, with two jabs.
> I am assuming this is easier in Ruby because you can monkey patch classes?

Yes, that was my point. I see it's possible in Java though, hurts my eyes a bit but possible :)
It creates a stub, but you can also configure it to pass any method calls to original implementation. You should be tiping your hat i think.

Is it inconceivable that we could have an "updated" RNA vaccine for the new variant in a matter of months? We get a new flu shot every year
I'd imagine not too long after safe and effective vaccines are authorized for children under 12. At that point the majority of those who actively want protection will be able to get it. This is not the same as saying _all_ who want protection will get it, since no vaccine is 100% effective, and some people who would like to be vaccinated will not be able to because of health conditions or other circumstances, but I suspect society as a whole will decide "close enough."

I'm not saying I necessarily agree with that -- I think the number of "people who want protection but can't get it" will be uncomfortably large -- but this is my guess of when society as a whole will decide to move on.

Honestly, I think this means the future looks like the present, but more so. The places that will be hit the hardest will be more working class and in places that under invest in health and welfare. That's already the current trend, certainly in the US -- look at where medicaid expansion following the ACA has and hasn't happened, for instance, and who has access to decent health care and who doesn't. In some ways I think we're lurching back to previous centuries, where diseases like cholera, dysentry, typhus, etc were endemic, and could certainly affect the wealthy and professional classes, but were primarily scourges of the working class.
Why? I would expect them to count the money in the register, find it is off by $9 compared to what their computer says should be in the register, and then believe your story.

This is a contrived example though. Say you buy something on homedepot.com and they never ship it to you and keep your money? Would you still expect to be laughed at if you call up their customer service and explain?
Could you explain a bit more about how you see Golang improving this?

For me, Go is trickier to use concurrently than Rust, and requires keeping track of more details you need to manage yourself without compiler assistance or checking.

For example, the default data structures like Map are not thread-safe, but you'll only discover that you've used a Map from multiple threads without synchronization when you actually have a concurrent modification at runtime, which might not show up at low load during testing.

You're also responsible for explicitly locking (and unlocking) any synchronization primitives before accessing a synchronized resource, and ensuring you don't hold any references to synchronized data past the unlock.

With Rust, this is all encoded in the APIs, and verified by either the type checker or the borrow checker.

Since I need to deal with Golang at work, I've been trying to get less frustrated with it, so I'm really interested in hearing perspectives about what people appreciate about Golang, or what it does right or does well.
Is this new? I feel like OTR had a version of this where after some time both parties would advertise their keys allowing anyone to create forgeries. Maybe slightly different implementation but feels like a very similar overarching concept.
For vaccinated people covid is not at all like the actual flu, it is very much a cold at worst. That is the kind of disease I and the poster above me were referencing

Ask HN: How to discourage use of code by totalitarians, militarists or fascists?
I know this could be accomplished using a license, however impossing additional restrictions raises issues with compatibility, hesitancy to use the software and finally makes the resulting license not free or not opensource. So I am looking for alternatives to a license based solutions, as they fail to be practical.

Do you have any ideas (or examples of something like this being done) how to discourage the use of code i own for military, collonialist, statist, ... purposes?

Edit:

I currently live in a sufficiently free country with a functioning state and I don't suspect that such interest are going to knock on my door soon.
Good one, I get contacted by Amazon several times a week on LinkedIn to apply.

And the first thing the US should do in the case of a large scale war involving China, is hand Australia nuclear weapons for its self-defense. It would guarantee an extraordinary cost if China were to decide to destroy Australia to try to annex their land for resource extraction. In the coming decades China will have the military capability to invade Australia, given China's rapid naval expansion. It's not a sure thing that the US could stop them. If China is cut off from their required resources, they'll invade somewhere as a response. Australia needs a plan for if all else fails, an ultimate deterrence to invasion (which France and Britain possess for similar deterrence reasons).
It's important to note that this data sample ends on July 24, which is almost exactly the day that cases started rapidly declining across the UK.

OP was not accurately representing the facts.
After shelling out ~$50-$100 for intitial setup, you too can harvest $5 worth of tomatoes! And as you say, if you can keep the pests free, but that also requires for money to add to that inital purchase.

The insect/worms/catepillars in my area are more vicious than rodent invasions. If you get catepillars, they can wipe out an entire plant in a day.
Why not? We see invasive species outcompeting native species all the time.
I thought I was the weirdo for thinking tomatoes on burgers didn't add any flavor. I love flavorful tomatoes everywhere else, generally, but the kind used on burgers are like mushy water.
