SEEKING WORK - Remote US - DevOps

In the past, I've:

- Saved a company $500k a year in CI infrastructure costs.

- Worked with several hundred engineer organizations to migrate from Jenkins to GitHub Actions.

- Introduced configuration as code and GitOps best practices to teams.

- Built dynamic review environments triggered on a pull request.

I'm available to:

- Reduce the costs of your CI infrastructure so that you can free up your infrastructure budget.

- Help you migrate from Jenkins to a more modern CI platform, like GitHub Actions, to reduce operational overhead and iterate faster.

- Help your team evaluate emerging technologies and processes. CircleCI or GitHub Actions? Kubernetes or Nomad? GitOps or ChatOps? How do you know what's likely going to be a fad and what's not? I can help your team avoid costly mistakes when adopting new tools and processes.

- Scale your DevOps processes. Should your company adopt full-stack teams that own the entire delivery pipeline, or should a specialized team of internal experts own the pipelines? These are the questions I can help you answer so that you can decide on the right trade-offs that make sense for your company as it scales to avoid future expensive migrations.

- Do implementation work. Maybe you're a small team that doesn't have enough DevOps resources. I can augment your team, dive in, and start delivering fast. I'm well-versed in terraform, Kubernetes, docker, etc. I can help you build repeatable pipelines, documentation and provide a smooth hand-off to your internal team.

- Need something else? Please don't hesitate to reach out.

I think the course "economics of money and banking" might be of your interest. Really good insights there.
The pain in the ass is why it should be used as an primary app-based 2FA recovery mechanism.

Doing 2FA via app is fine for most users. The failures happen when users lose their phone and need to reset 2FA. That's where the pain in the ass (but secure pain in the ass) of U2F would come in handy, to re-enroll primary 2FA.

Nobody presently has good ways of doing 2FA resets. U2F hardware is a near-perfect solution.
Sure, but my credit card also gives me 2% cash back on all purchases, and since I would have to pay the extra % no matter what, may as well get the cash back, too.

I also get something for that 2%… the fraud protection you mentioned, the safety of not having to carry cash, ease of use, spending tracking, the ability to dispute a charge if a vendor screws me.

Honestly, credit cards have been a great thing for me. I have never paid a penny of credit card interest and get thousands of dollars in cash back every year.
From what I know of Nano, I don't believe it would work correctly under situations where it was being attacked.
Sure! Our internship program for summer 2022 is open now. We have a rather generic intern req open here: https://jobs.lever.co/ursamajortech/a3637ef2-244a-4239-ae6a-...

A lot of those requirements wouldn't apply to you, but note this line:

> This internship could be for any of our Engineering teams: Analysis, Design, Propulsion Development, Avionics, Turbomachinery, Test, etc.

Embedded software/firmware would fit under Avionics.
Ah, the term "Web 3.0". I wrote a Ruby book with "Web 3.0" in the title, which to me is semantic web and linked data added to "Web 2" many years ago, and I was disappointed how quickly the book's content quickly seemed irrelevant, even to me the author.

I wish the NFT and blockchain enthusiasts better luck with the term than I had.

SIM swapping also allows you to intercept voice calls, which are encrypted and supposed to be secure. The idea that telcos have no responsibility to stop people from taking over the telephone number that customers pay for is completely absurd. Moreover, often the SIM swapping is done by employees of the Telco itself using company infrastructure.
The link by KuiN seems conclusive. The image is indeed a Photoshopped version of an older image from 2014. The question is why, but the stated explanation in the thread seems probable - they found the photo and wished to present it as their own, but it had a label in that lower right corner that would give it away. So they photoshopped in some sand to cover up that they hadn't taken it on-site.

All very disappointing but not really surprising. The quantity of Photoshops in scientific papers is baffling, and Nature has been publishing a long string of nonsensical papers in the past years.

Bertrand Russell introduced orders on propositions to block

construction of paradoxes such as “The Liar” [Russell 1908].

Without orders on propositions, the “self-referential”

proposition I’mFalse (such that

I’mFalse⇔¬I’mFalse) could be constructed using the

following recursive definition:

I’mFalse:Proposition<i>≡¬I’mFalse. Since Ψ is a

propositional variable in the definition, ¬Ψ:Proposition <i+1>. Consequently,

I’mFalse:Proposition <i>⇒I’mFalse:Proposition<i+1>, which

is a contradiction.

I don't think the two jurisdictions count ICU beds the same. Alberta (and Canada in general) have about half as many ICU beds per capita as the US, not 1/10th. If I had to guess, I would say the number for Colorado includes other types of ICU (neonatal, cardiac, etc.) that the Albertan number doesn't. Alberta has 8,513 acute care beds. How many of those would be counted as ICU beds per the Colorado definition, I don't know.

Makes sense, in fact it seems the ingredients are all still individually in use as food additives, if rarely.
Your filesystem is a database. It's just a document-oriented database, rather than relational SQL.
If you don't consider "conversations with more than 30 former U.S. officials" and the non-denial of Pompeo himself hard enough evidence, then consider that your standard of proof might be too high.

I'd remind you that we're talking about the assassination of a foreign journalist for the crime of telling too much truth; discussed at the highest levels of government. They don't video record these discussions and live-stream them, so I don't know what kind of proof you're asking for.

Here is the report, you can look at it for yourself: https://news.yahoo.com/kidnapping-assassination-and-a-london....

As for your assertion that something will happen to Assange if he ever gets out of jail, you may well have a point. But being slowly tortured to death in jail - the UN Rapporteur on Torture's words - doesn't seem like a preferable alternative.

Finally, it's not Assange telling the judge that he ought to be released because of a "rumour" (that is backed up by 30 senior officials and not denied), it's the British National Union of Journalists.
You also get point and click suspicion-less suspension of your ability to transact (no burden of proof), and total financial surveillance as well.

It's not all good. Having an alternative to these privacy-destroying systems is a good thing for society.

(The cash back you receive does not cover the increase in prices that are passed on to you. It is ultimately a losing trade for you.)
But this doesn't solve the trust problem, though; only papers over it with a false sense of security.

The problem with traditional Agent Forwarding is that an intermediary may be compromised. A compromised intermediary can still fool Guardian Agent with false values for (a), (b), and (c). The only way Guardian Agent is more secure than unmodified ssh is that it's relatively unknown. Obscurity, however, isn't a defensible security perimeter.

The math library we use is incredibly fast with quaternion matrix transformations: https://github.com/cbaggers/rtg-math/

The only gaps we've had with our production code and lisp is PDF (we use the java pdfbox), translating between RDF formats (also a java lib) and encrypting JWP tokens for PKCE dPop authentication (also java)

The complete conceputal AI system and space/time causal systems digital twin technology is all in common lisp (sbcl)

Also fantastic is the sb-profile library in sbcl that lets you profile any number of functions and see number of iterations and time used as well as consing all ordered by slowest cummulative time. That feature has been key on finding those functions that are slow and optimizing leading to orders of magnitude speed improvements.

A lot of data counters what you're trying to put out here. I wish it weren't true, but if you would like, I can point you to studies where you can see how teen suicide in girls and the launch of Instagram, then Snapchat, then TikTok - as well, final thoughts and letters by a large amount of these young girls vary from saying that social media WAS the reason for their suicide, to saying that actions made by others (via social media) were a factor in others. I do sincerely think social media is a force for harm for everyone - as it raises division among people at rates that are hard to build responses to. Psychologists also largely agree that the effects of social media are causing a new kind of concern outside of what we've so far dealt with.

I do sort of think you might have an agenda here, for at this point you are suggesting that the thoughts and feelings of the girls who committed suicide should hold almost no weight. Maybe you're not saying that outright, but if you haven't looked into the lives of these girls before suggesting their plight is "just another generational grievance", well, yeah, we are fucked.
Is this some sort of hotline that will be used in case of conflict (such as a nuclear strike by one party)? It appears that the US expects this adversary to behave like their adversary of old, the Soviet Union. Such a hotline was established after the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1963.
I don't know for certain at all, but I'd propose that you are being downvoted for not going far enough with lisp to grasp the point of lisp, which has more to do with recursive data structures--and data that is code--than just recursive procedure calling.

Factorial and Fibonacci as a pair are good introductions to the issue of recursion--and lisp had recursion back in the dark ages before other languages did--but they're aren't what lisp is about.

so, were some other newbie to read your comment, it might really put them off learning lisp for entirely the wrong reasons.

cheers :)

Thought you'd find this [1] interesting. Carreyrou is a journalist who is part of the story, in fact did heroic work breaking the story. At one time at a Theranos company meeting, they chanted "F** you, Carreyrou!"

If you study decision making, it is prettt clear in the researchers that diverse viewpoints are connected with better decisions. There also an issue of fairness or representativeness: if you don’t have perspective in your inputs, you are going to leave a lot of people out.

The fact is that we are all wrong about almost everything. Perspective helps you be less wrong, in a way that is not possible to do on your own because we are blind to our biases.

Beyond that explanation, you’re probably going to have to form your own researched opinion - I’m not all that interested in trying to convince you. In fact, I actually don’t mind people being unconvinced of this issue! It’s to my advantage if other people don’t have as good of a decision making process.

There's a quote about this that I rather like

> “Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray’s case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect. I call these the “wet streets cause rain” stories. Paper’s full of them.

> In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.”

Sure but those are all minor things (and greatly exaggerated) in the grand scheme of shipping stuff and producing value IMO, today, a language being mainstream and its ecosystem matters. You are falling for the exact trap the article warns about.

You'll say you can use the Java ecosystem but them you loose all the benefits you mentioned, you say you will keep interop/mutation/side effects isolated but then again you can do the same in JS if some lib is causing unwanted mutation.

I have seen JS developers run in circles around Clojure developers because the JS devs have specialized in their language and ecosystem while the others keep moving between ecosystems and niche languages hoping for some magical thing that will fix all their problems.

Rich Hickey is a great software engineer and software architect but what most don't notice is that he also is a good salesman.
The first line from the article:
In March 2017, WikiLeaks began publishing thousands of files detailing the CIA’s spying operations and hacking tools. The leak, known as Vault 7, was the largest disclosure of classified information in the agency’s history. In April, Symantec publicly linked Vault 7 to an advanced threat actor named Longhorn. Kaspersky then announced it tracks the same actor as The Lamberts, and revealed the existence of an OS X implant called Green Lambert.
Plenty of banks require HOTP dongles. Those are, if not more confusing, than certainly on par with U2F dongles. Meaning if banks can do HOTP, they can do U2F, and using "confusing to consumers" is not an excuse.
Line noise is a red herring in the static/dynamic comparison. You will still run into serious problems trying to shove ugly human-generated data into your nice clean type system.

For mechanical things where you the programmer are building the abstractions (compilers, operating systems, drivers) this is a non-issue, but for dealing with the ugly real world dynamic is still the way to go.

I think this is something that you have to live with unless you support broad patents. In the fizzy malt liquor market suddenly every beverage company had their own brand overnight. The same thing happened with snapchat stories, or with clubhouse. If you want a moat in social it can be made out of an easily lifted feature. Increasingly it can’t even be made out of “network effects” because FB has the king kong of networks that they can swing into your space. So if you’re a jobs site, dating, classified, or anything along those lines you’re also easily aped.
I have a clear memory of a similar recipe being laid out in an early 80’s kids’ cartoon, in which a character needs to MacGuyver some gunpowder in the wild.

Around the same time, The Dukes of Hazzard provided instruction on Molotov Cocktails. I was four or five.

Expurgated Words
As a Hexagonal Close Packing lattice, which is the correct way to represent the maximum density arrangement of equal spheres.

If you've seen a stack of spheres, with the bottom layer in rows offset by one radius such that each sphere touches six others at the same height, and the next layer nestled in the intersections of this bottom layer, that's a hexagonal close packing.

Also, the "hexagons are the bestagons" attitude generalizes to three dimensions by dismissing face-centered cubic packing as an inferior way to look at the arrangement.

To generalize the Youtube video aspect, see also this Matt Parker/Steve Mould video on spherical packing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3inLMXcetUA

> You certainly don't have to make the standard == behave that way.

Is equality an attribute of the operator or an attribute of the type and value? The fact that one defines operators on types—and that things such as how values compare to each other is based on types and their coercion rules when compared (str==num→false, unless you define how a num becomes a str or a str becomes a number, which is type based)—says to me that it's the latter.
> Yeah, that's true, if the user does a full app removal and re-install then they would need to re-enroll in MFA. But for app updates they'd be ok.

How would they re-enroll without their MFA token? Surely the whole point is not to let them login without it?
