10+ years of technology experience, 5+ years in a leadership role. Looking for interesting, cutting-edge work in the infrastructure/SRE/Kubernetes/Cloud domain. I'm particularly interested in the crypto/payments space if there's any roles out there that fit. Willing to consider either IC or leadership if the company/team/role is a match.
SEEKING WORK | SF Bay Area | Remote OK | Geospatial development and data science

I help companies manage and extract value from their geospatial data.

A typical project for me might involve

• Frontend development (webmaps, interactive visualization)

• Backend development (static websites, APIs)

• Satellite imagery (land-use classification, object identification)

• Routing (supply chain optimization, logistics, retail planning)

• Dataset building (DEM coregistration, web scraping)

• Data engineering (setting up a geospatial datastore, ML pipelines)

I run https://gpxz.io (SaaS) and https://opentopodata.org (Open Source). Feel free to reach out if you think I could help with something, or just to chat about your project.

> "The use of total war upon each other."

Huh? Total war was the standard practice for millennia.
People should be able to feel secure in the tech that they use, in the companies that they entrust their information with.

I can never tell whether I'm paranoid, or worried for good reasons, but cases like these + mass leaks which happen occasionally are basically the reason why I don't have this secure feeling at all for anything which isn't on an offline device which is in my hands or device-side encypted then put online (but to a lesser extent). And I'm afraid nothing is ever going to be able to fix that feeling anymore, it just seems to late for that, and I feel like people who do feel secure lost touch with reality somewhat.
I don't know if you're being disingenuous, but health care workers is a very wide group of people; most probably have absolutely no idea about 'whats in this thing', and in my experience most doctors are vaccinated --- it's hospital staff that aren't.
Apple abandoned OpenGL and refused to implement newer versions that would include compute shaders. WebGL implementations were based on OpenGL at the time. Intel's prototype did not and could not work on Mac. WebGL on Metal was not even started and there was no indication that Apple would ever work on it.

Now, years later, Apple actually implemented WebGL on Metal, so today we could think about implementing WebGL compute on Mac. However WebGPU is now in origin trials. It's very unlikely that Apple would put any effort into a compute shader implementation for WebGL now. And Chrome is not going to go implement a major WebGL feature that has no prospect of ever being supported in Safari.
I agree that it could be difficult, but we need to address it head-on. We have an adversarial situation developing between the public and the police. Solving that will be hard, but one of the first things we need to do is figure out how to put the police back under control of the politicians. And then we can work on getting people to look outside their filter bubble and pay attention to who they are electing.
tbd on the timeline here - we know that there are already platforms (like Vercel, Netlify, Deno, CF Workers) doing amazing work here, so we're spending more effort on the under-served problems.

Would love to know your use-case, or why you'd prefer Supabase as a Function provider over one of the existing players? It's helpful for us to design the system around any weaknesses/difficulties you're facing
So, if my boss says: "have sex with me or lose your job", is that freedom of choice or blackmail?
Yeah 2019 had a couple of mind-benders involving mazes - there are two Part 2s that I need to motivate myself to come back to because my fumbling that got me the respective Part 1 solution was useless for Part 2 (Day 18 and Day 20). Looking back at them they shouldn't be too hard, I just think that at that moment I didn't have the time to spare and never felt like coming back to them. Maybe if I'm bored between Xmas and New Year :)
It might not be possible to wipe the data off the flash memory, due to how flash memory works. As you can only reset bits on the flash memory some amount of times, flash memory controllers try to avoid resetting bits and they try to distribute resets evenly on the memory (called wear leveling), so that it doesn't happen that parts of the memory are already worn out while other parts are healthy. So "deleting" and even "zeroing" flash memory might not do what you would expect. Instead of resetting the bits of the original content, it might put the zeros somewhere completely different.

And wipe commands that one can send to flash memory chips are sometimes broken too (they might be implemented as no-ops).

Edit: Also, even if you tell it to write zeros everywhere, it might not delete the content, because there is hidden extra memory on flash memory chips.
According to website, players receive traditional HS coursework with supplemental courses related to managing life as a professional athlete. They also receive college tuition stipend up to $100K if their career does not pan out (in addition to other perks).

I wouldn’t characterize these players as “teen dropouts”. To me it seems like a blue chip program that doesn’t pretend like college academics is the main thing, and accordingly provides more benefits.

It seems like you may be jumping to conclusions a bit prematurely. The paper (https://www.cs.unc.edu/~porter/pubs/fast15-final.pdf) is very explicit that they start with a cold cache. They also go into detail for why they do well on grep. As I understand it (but I'm not an expert), betrfs's advantage here comes from the fact that it stores files lexicographically by their full names (and metadata), meaning that related files are stored nearby each other on disk. This gives better locality than what you would get with a standard inode structure.

Based on that, it seems like the outcomes of the tests are pretty reasonable.
I'm on a POC project that's using PostgREST and it's been extremely fast to get a big complicated data model working with an API in front of it. But I guess I don't get how to really use this thing in reality? What does devops look like? Do you have sophisticated db migrations with every deploy? Is all the SQL in version control?

I also don't really get where the users get created in postgres that have all the row-level permissions. The docs are all about auth for users that are already in there.
As far as I am aware this approach is basically universal.

It is definitely not universal practice to offer candidates, as Stripe did, "contingent" job offers while presenting them as "final" offers.
It's possible to regard the paper as high value, appreciate its value, and recognize that this is not a production filesystem.
It doesn't care about that.
You're aware that we've had vaccine mandates for decades, right? Were you also upset about requiring kids get (for example) MMR vaccines before allowing them to attend public school? If so, then congratulations: some diseases we'd thought we'd eradicated have been coming back because of anti-vax nutjobs.

You are not an island. You live in a society, a community of people that requires individuals to give up some personal liberties for the good of the whole. Those who don't like that should go move to an isolated island where their harm to others can be limited.
I think it's summed up by the mantra "those who can, do. Those who can't, teach."
I was in a rare situation, I eventually came to manage two of the Zoo restaurants and had quite a few staff reporting to me which is where the bump in rate came from. On slow days (less staff) I made about 13 dollars an hour which was still really good at the time. The moral of my story is that I made decent money as a hard working teenager, I took my job very seriously, and I was rewarded in such a way that would have never existed without a union.
Unbelievable cringe, possibly even more so than actual Facecrook product. I couldn't even watch the whole thing as it was too painful. I know it's satire, but it's just too painful to watch even a satirical rendition of creepy Zuck.
No. We do NOT need fucking removable storage to fix this.

What we need, to fix this, is to enforce felony charges against the kind of fuckers who do this, and put them in prison for 20 years, and stop victim-blaming, and stop the insane medieval attitudes about nudity, and slap every single fucking person who espouses this kind of bullshit upside the head, daily, every single day, until society is finally purged of their bullshit, and we don't need anything. fucking. else.

This isn't a product design issue. It's a punish evil people issue.
Not a contract, in most cases, you're hired into the company rather than a specific team. To be clear it's not just two weeks to find a team, you spend the entire length of bootcamp (6-10 weeks) evaluating teams (you evaluating them, not the other way) to pick one. I preferred that much more to Google's approach, where passing the interview loop leads to the tedious team selection process - before an offer is extended.

And to answer a question from a neighboring comment, it's exceedingly rare for a match to not happen. There are way more teams with open headcount than candidates looking, so teams and managers go out of their way to woo the incoming folks. I don't know exactly what happens if one spends two months fruitlessly, presumably somebody from the bootcamp program would have a long conversation with them about their general fit at the company.
Invitae | Senior / Principal Engineer: Django / Python, or anything biotech | REMOTE / Optional travel to SF / CO (USA) labs | https://www.invitae.com/en/careers/

[ Funny enough, I was hired via one of these kind of HN posts a couple years ago and am honored to return the favor :) ]

Invitae ($NVTA) is a genetics company in the biotech space with a focus on medical diagnostics & genetic counseling.

As a software dev, this means that a lot of our work is building bespoke software for in-house scientist clients. There is a strong focus on patients & employees, and we have a lot of flexibility in accommodating software engineers as a result.
>> I see it every time the topic comes up

I hear you, and agree wholeheartedly that there is "absolutely nothing wrong with this", but maybe if the topic keeps coming up, people should have less trust in the companies (and their respective flawed human supply chains) that keep our information.... and act accordingly. Unfortunately that's easier said than done these days.
This is called Duck Syndrome.

>[T]he situation in which the sufferer looks completely calm on a superficial level while in reality, they are frantically trying to keep up with the demands of their life.

It's pretty common in places like the one you described. Pristine external presence makes constructive feedback ungrateful or contrarian, leading to everyone struggling in silence. I think the terminology is most associated with Stanford, since students work for several years to get entry, only to realize that it can be a harsh environment.
I think they tried to use tech to try to solve human resource problems. Works to a point.
> how to secure the data on their phones so that even the manufacturer cannot reach it

If that were possible, the FBI would shut it down.
This doesn't match my experience at all. In particular, in the case where a small team is working on a series of small projects it can make a lot of sense to split up the components so that any one of the small projects can be built with one or two existing generalized components along with some custom machinery and some glue code to bring it all together. That way development of all of the small products can contribute to some well honed components that get shared by multiple products and development cycles.

It seems like this is not coming up because the most common context of application is one or more teams working on a single large project probably forced to grow as fast as possible because of the funding structure involved. Increasingly, though, there are companies doing software development without the need for focus and scale that is so common to venture capital powered groups.
It would have mattered because you can deauthorize a device from your Google account on a computer, like a phone and if they are saved locally as well you can remove SD card before sending it back. The only thing I'm unsure of is if thumbnails are saved in a standard image format but those should get removed as well during the notification that the device has stopped syncing, but if mobile data is turned off it may cache a few low res thumbnails.

>I'm using a Librem 5 with PureOS as my daily driver.

How usable is it? Does it have power management? I heard it still doesn't have good battery life or... anything. Did the switch from N900 hurt?

>I still keep my N900 around as a backup.

How can you when 3G will be sunsetted?

I didn't mention other projects, but speaking of them why didn't you ever get interested in Replicant? I didn't forget other projects, but it makes little sense to mention them when they aren't relevant.

>It is pretty clear that you haven't actually used pmOS back then (2017-18), as none of the supported devices could even do phone calls there, and that was far from the only missing basic feature.

I've tried it then and tried it now. Phone calls don't matter to me, I only used VOIP, but my point is that there was work on GNU/linux phones way before L5 or PP, which still has many missing features. With all new android phones being mainlined as well as "old" ones like the S9 way before either was released. https://github.com/exynos-linux-stable Samsung DEX is much more useful and interesting to me than having partially running 2005-2015 hardware that has weak functionality.

>Which DE would you even run on it for daily usage

None of them then, or today either. Maemo was partially propietary, did it stop you from using it? If not, why ignore Sailfish and not count it?

https://www.xda-developers.com/android-project-mainline-modu... This project is the most interesting.

That all being said I do admire your dedication to using gnu/linux, but my question is what do you gain from using it? I can use the CLI tools I care about with both iOS and Android, what is the benefit to running Linux that made you ignore iOS and Android? It was awesome having mobile Unix in an iPhone in 2007 with a jailbreak with easily ported tools and apt since the first jailbreak, it was also great to have them on android. What does mobile linux do better?
The mandates blocked are for healthcare workers nationwide, it's factually correct.

I feel like that's pretty common? In most interviews I've had/given you are not expected to write runnable code, and having to fix typos or library function names tends to be a stress-inducing distraction.
This is more of an issue with google results than the content itself.

Google is a shit product and you get shit results when you use it.
Trying to correct the autocorrect in the last paragraph:

Everybody still dies, but we lived to 120 seems like a good outcome. But even you said you are in favor of people living to 120, so what is the purpose of the rest of the paragraph?
They have about 270,000 members. Between both Diet houses they have 23 seats in total, which is 3.2%, not 0.5%. Their share of the popular vote was over 13% in 2014. By any measures that's massively more successful than, say, the Canadian Green Party.
This seems like hyperbole.
A form of at-will hallucination just like phantasia.
I was making a point. It was flagged for some reason.
The .io infrastructure under ICB was indeed quite slow. Everything moved to Afilias (and now Donuts) many years ago though and EPP is quite performant now fortunately.

We deal with a few independent ccTLDs these days that are still horribly unreliable though. Not going to name any names but some of these are quite popular and still either don't run on EPP and/or run on an old outdated server in a local DC.

Lokad.com | Full stack, Backend, Frontend, Compiler | REMOTE or ONSITE | Paris, France | Full-time | https://www.lokad.com
Lokad is a bootstrapped profitable software company - 50 employees and growing fast - that specializes on predictive supply chain optimization. We are based in France, but the majority of our clients are outside France.

Supply chains remain wasteful and poorly resilient to tail risks (as demonstrated by present day situation). We’re talking about roughly 15% of the worldwide economy: supply chains are vast, and double-digit improvements remain possible. We want to put supply chains on AI autopilot, and deliver above-human performance while doing so.

Technologies used: C#, F#, Typescript, .NET Core, Linux

A forum has a topic thread that can be nice for having a discussion, but we pair that discussion thread with an artifact (a documented decision or other outcome) that everyone collaborates on during the discussion.

It's relatively bare-bones when it comes to that artifact for now, but once we find more users we want to work with them to make a series of custom artifact types that really support that collaborate, async way of working.
No. We don't need to "educate" people on how to magically dodge evil behavior.

We need to punish the evil behavior. Like you said in your last sentence.
Also probably has something to do with using the sunk cost fallacy to inspire some people to exercise. If you've paid for a trainer you won't find it as easy to just stop.

We've known about cholesterol and cardiovascular risks and how to reduce them for decades. The problem isn't access to information, it's false information creating incorrect or purposefully conflicting narratives which confuse and debase science.
> It has long been speculated that COVID-19 would evolve into more contagious but less virulent variants.

That speculation has only come from people who don't know what they're talking about.

Is there any other virus where this happened? It didn't happen for smallpox, ebola, measles, flu.

You're also ignoring the law of big numbers: if it kills fewer people than delta but infects more people we're probably going to see more deaths. People won't want to take any precautions against it, which means very many more people will get infected.
Yes, and coercion is a tool that governments use all the time in order to keep selfish people from trampling over the safety and well-being off their neighbors. Vaccination perfectly fits that bill.
