Hey there! I'm a software engineer based in Texas, with plans to relocate to New York City. I have experience working with various technologies across the development stack, but my preferred domain is wherever I'm needed the most.

Most recently I've built Retrospect (https://retrospecthq.com), an open-source debugging tool for microservices-based applications that abstracts away the complexity of back-end tracing instrumentation and front-end session recording.
People making less than $75000 a year received a grand total of $3000 over 18 months. Some of them received a few thousand in supplemantary unemployment benefits - during a period when they were not working. No, this isn't a huge amount of money for any person, certainly not anything that makes any microscopic dent in addressing inequality. That wasn't the point of the program.

> If you're used to Windows-style management, the position of windows probably is a bit more important

Is it? I only use programs in full screen or half screen, unless they are a specific kind of program (shell for a quick task, file picker, that kind of thing). I switch with either the multiple desktop feature, or alt+tab before. I honestly don't see the point of floating windows, except for exceptions like the one I mentionned.

Is that even possible? This setlocale stuff is everywhere. Even basic functions like printf are affected. Reminds me of this incredible commit message:

https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/commit/1e70e82baa9193f6f02...

I found it easier to get rid of libc and write freestanding C instead. Linux system calls have none of these problems. This locale bullshit is nowhere to be found. No global state anywhere. No thread-local errno. No stupid stuff like EOF. Writing C became fun again.
> Thank you, Elon - you saved a lot of money and ruin decades of car UX

The motivation behind a single touchscreen (from the horse’s mouth) is the gradual move to full self driving. Given that all Teslas are capable of fully autonomous driving, pending software, it doesn’t make sense to pollute the car interior with controls that will become obsolete during the lifetime of the car, not even accounting for extra cost associated with manufacturing dozens/hundreds of extra parts.

Now if others are copying it without understanding why it’s done that way, it’s on them.
The article is a good example about how after a traumatic experience of pain and struggle, a Community of encouragement can help to rebuild life and bring a new hope.

“You’re not an outsider here,” he said.

The group conducted a survey in 2017 of 595 of its lightning strike members and found that 280 of them suffered from depression and 67 were suicidal. Steve Marshburn, the founder, has personally talked 27 people out of suicide. “God,” he said, “gives you strength to do what you got to do.”

That is something we can all learn from this article: to welcome newcomers, give thanks, and ask for power from above.

In summer 1989, a young foreign couple and their 3 year old son were hiking in the Alps. As often happens on beautiful, clear days there, the clouds began to roll in, and the rain started to pour down. Drenched and cold, they tried to walk back to the cable car, but were making slow progress because she was pregnant.

They saw a fence, and some steps (a stile) to climb over it. Rather than continue, they chose to stop and rest for a minute. Holding each others' hands, they sat down.

crack

They lay face down in the mud. He heard a voice coming up the valley "You are mine." Later, they discovered these words in a religious text [1] and their lives were profoundly changed.

They hobbled back to the cablecar in a daze, got down the mountain, and drove to a nearby hospital. She was worried because the baby hadn't kicked for a couple of hours. When the baby did kick again, it brought her great joy! And of course, some pain, because he was kicking.

His burns took the shape of a tree, or fractal, quite similar to the lightning bolt. Just as the article says:

The jolt can severely burn skin, and in some cases it etches an intricate web of scars on the body that resembles the form of a lightning bolt itself, known as Lichtenberg figures, which fade within days for reasons unknown.

He continued his career as a software engineer at CERN. She was holding his hand so received a milder shock but no burns, and their 3 year old son appeared to be unharmed. The baby was born a few months later, with spiky hair, which they joked was a result of the lightning.

That baby grew up, studied electronic systems engineering, before moving into embedded systems, and has thankfully not suffered other shocks since.

That baby was me.

It feels a little weird to tell this story because although I was there, I wasn't yet born. Was the "you" in "you are mine" plural? Did I die and get resurrected before even being born? Only God knows. I feel like my parents tell the story better than I could, and there are more personal testimonies from my life that are more relatable. But if you are ever stuck outside in a thunderstorm, please don't shelter next to an electric fence.

We might be the biggest story you’ve never heard about. When COVID started, Go made a big bet: that it could save essential workers more money on car insurance than anytime in history by offering half-off rates. It worked. Go has grown from $0 to $100mm, making the company the fastest-growing insurer in the country.

At Go you’re joining a team that has three qualities rarely found in one place. You are having a real impact on real people’s lives. You are advancing our core belief that most accidents don’t need to happen -- and truly helping everyone stay a little safer. And you are receiving stock options in a valuable business -- that can soon be public market currency.

As a backend engineer, a blank text editor is where you start. We don't have a preference if you're a Don Knuth fan who counts bits, track your historical best TTI system metrics, or just assemble as much as is already out there. What we believe in is leverage, system design, and speed. We're highly collaborative, but also Go engineers singlehandedly own and operate the same amount of infra as 3-4 engineers at a large company. We are a unit. We set priorities, solve challenges, and execute. And with you, we’ll execute more than we ever have.

Requirements
* Passionate about mobile apps (add your favorite one in the subject line of the application)
* Bachelor's degree or higher in CS, CE, EE or the equivalent in experience and evidence of exceptional ability.
* At least 3 years of production Go programming language experience
* At least 5 years of experience with project lifecycle activities: Planning, Development & Maintenance
* At least 5 years experience with CI/CD (continuous integration, continuous delivery) processes and principals
* At least 5 years experience of solid relational database skills (Postgres)
* Web fundamentals like HTML, JavaScript, CSS & ReactJS
* Proven experience with code management systems, including Github
* Experience implementing modern, scalable and fault-tolerant SaaS application
* Experience building microservices
* Containerization: Docker / Kubernetes
* Experience building RESTful APIs
* Self-reliant, and at the same (list your three favorite foods in the notes section), time can closely collaborate.
* Background in a high-growth startup that has seen some level of success

Since it targets RNA replication, I wonder if it may have efficacy against other retroviruses.

Same for other news outlets, they want to jump on the train.

All of the sudden OZY employees and former OZY employees get bombarded with messages from journalists on Linkedin, Twitter and Facebook.

That's when people start to talk, and the story gets even bigger.
That's an interesting question. The cynic argues that everyone is on a PR mission and that our true self is when we are in a moment of weakness. The idealist argues that those moments are rare and far in between, and shouldn't define us. But at the heart of the debate is the question of whether there is a "true self" at all. Maybe people do just what people do.

I suspect we try to characterize people because we're attempting to build a Bayesian Model that can help us predict someone's next move. And all that is going to depend on our 'prior' and 'base rate'. In this perspective, there is no "true self" that will be observed by everyone on the planet.

“Ozy was named after ‘Ozymandias,’ the famous sonnet by Shelley on the theme of the impermanence of all things and people — even the great pharaoh known by that name, whom the ancient Greeks tried to render immortal with a colossal statue, which crumbled.”

Makes one suspect they read the tweet about the poem, and not the poem itself.
If you have a fixed headcount, then forgoing one candidate for equivalent another doesn’t carry a cost. By hiring person A you would be missing out on person B, by hiring person B you would be missing out on A. The point is that the net cost is 0. So if B brings more diversity then A you should hire B. You are not (net) missing anything.

Keep in mind that 1.5% is 5 million people, and that we've done a lot more than just the first round of the stimulus checks.
I’m not sure it’s fuzzy. Hard to describe with words, sure, but not fuzzy. I have a high degree of certainty when someone else is talking about their own consciousness and when they’re not.

For example, when an optometrist or neurologist talks about “sight” they’re talking about the biochemical mechanisms that allow us to see. When I read Plato say “I see therefor I am” it was clear to me he was describing the metaphysical act of personal perception. He was describing the “observer” that was present in the moment, perceiving the biochemical process, not sight itself.

Consciousness is something you likely have. But we (humans) don’t know what it is. To my knowledge, we don’t even know where to start looking for it. Consciousness belongs to the mystics today, by default, because science can not claim it. There isn’t something we can hold and point to saying “this, this is what the mystics call a soul.”
That's nearly 4 days out of service a year with no recourse. This should be unacceptable for any financial service.
Your website inspires me, I've been on a similar career trajectory to you in some ways although at the opposite end of the earth. Starting in Physics and moving away in time, although I'm only 33 now. I love that you're putting your art on display. It's very rare to find scientists pursuing art in such a direct way.
I use the term most for all the things you need to do or not do in C/C++ to avoid undefined behavior and other problems. Without best practices (that your team agree upon, ideally covered by good literature and understanding) you usually end up with faulty garbage code in complex C/C++ projects. So in this case it's not a tradition or pattern or a convention or the fact that I'm an ignorant copy cat. Also new programmers can learn with the team that this is what is expected here in the company regarding coding practices we consider the best. - Ok thinking again now maybe it's a convention. But partly a unwritten convention of expected behavior.

Just said said to make a point that there are some best practices. Sometimes you have to swollow the pill and try to understand later. There is not always the time to give everybody a full lecture on certain topics if they are complex.

On the other side I totally agree on the fact that an engineer always should be able do explain his decisions. Down to the last fraction.

I'm sure the term is used in other context too, and maybe even misused in discussions sometimes.

The statement doesn’t apply to every white person, but enough that it never comes up that whites “get looks” due to their privileges.
I don't think I have it backwards, but I may be wrong. My interpretation is that there is there is subscription cooked into how they understand the pricing and return (profit) of their product. Based off this document this is part of their long term strategy. You may quibble about the specifics but extracting money from their customers over time is cooked into their model and that does seem worth noting...
I largely agree with this. A constrained markup format I look to for inspiration is EPUB [1], which uses XHTML and a constrained directory layout, but recent versions have fallen in thrall of HTML5 and has the potential for its attendant complexity. I think a scoped version of EPUB has a lot of promise and is readily supported on many, many devices. Another format inspired similarly is the now-defunc WML [2], which uses an even more constrained XML document to describe layout specifically for constrained devices.

Regardless, I largely feel that constrained markup formats are where the effort to make the web both user and developer friendly again should lie. There is also another defunct format, the AMB [3] which is a very different approach, but its goals and assumptions are a little too far out from the expectations of modern users IMO.

> When concurrent changes happen, the database simply stored each conflicting value.

Yes, this is the key! 1. store everything, 2. give the domain modelers an array of strategies to merge particular cases, with the default being conflict-and-bother-the-user. Every existing merge strategy can be represented on top of this model, so it should be the base layer. The conflict resolution strategies can be sliced up, layered, hidden, or exposed to the user according to the design criteria because conflict resolution is part the problem domain.

I would go so far as to say that assuming one particular merge strategy for all data structures as 'correct' is actively harmful. What is the worst case outcome in the example above? That nobody looks at it. In a general case like this choosing any default action at all is the wrong call because both edits were made with different assumptions and contexts, and that's the level where the conflict should be resolved, not down here in the invoice.
That seems a strange way to compare it. I could sell 1/trillionth share of my Get Rich Quick Startup to someone for $1 but that doesn't make a $1T fraud. The actual amount of the fraud was the investment.

Catholism as well being a close offshoot of Judaism never allowed cremation but recently (~50 years ago?) the Vatican has said it is OK. I grew up Catholic and my parents especially so, although we are Canadian are typical Irish Catholic.

My Dad died a few months ago and I have to say cremation was difficult to accept. Not for religious reasons but to me it seems more natural to not be cremated. I know it sounds odd but it seems like a body should be left alone. I would have felt better knowing he was complete. It was unexpected to me to feel that way.

But diagonalization and self-referential paradoxes are related (in ways that are not necessarily obvious).

Think along the lines that you have some sentence Px which asserts that sentence Py is false. Now imagine a table where both the rows and columns are P0, P1, P2, .. populated with these sentences. The diagonal is where you have the self-reference: Pi asserting that Pi is false.

There is a non-zero chance that a charter (e.g. Wheels Up or Blade) will require it. That seems to be where the bulk of the new demand is coming from.

The poster I was responding to was noting that white people would look askance at blacks on the board, but I assume not whites. Both are at a high position, it only one group would be looked down on for any sort of privilege granted them. It is a function of race. Not an inherent function of being white, but rather the culture that allows white people to always believe “I did this myself”.
Inequality in the US is far worse than any comparable country, i. e. Western Europe, Canada, NZ, etc. All those countries have higher taxes and would be considered to be more actively involved in the economy. Here’s a nice chart: https://images.app.goo.gl/WpcWjHghC5XTmYKn6.

It shows, among other things, that besides being too small overall, US tax policy does nothing to reduce inequality. That’s because it has seized to be a typical progressive tax regime.

Instead, the top 1 % pay lower rates than the middle class. And the top 0.1 %, in turn, pay less than the 1 %: https://images.app.goo.gl/seh6KtpZ2GbQcH2AA

None of those countries is socialist, by the way. The closest is probably East Germany until 1990.
Look how much the stock market has gone up recently, or home prices, or tech profits. or anything else. more money being made than ever, more wealth than ever = more private jet demand.

It's rather amusing you assign the frequency of certain types of thinking to skin color.

Do you think people who are black think "damn, I love chicken/watermelon/grape drink/stealing things/being violent! Do you think people of Asian descent are all good at math?

Like I don't even understand how you can be so blind to the self-referential inconsistency here.

Also, for the record? If you can talk the talk, and walk the walk, or at least demonstrate some aptitude at getting the job done so the person hiring you can be reasonably comfortable they aren't just bringing on an anchor; that is infinitely more likely to factor into getting you a position than skin color.
