I've been a dev and manager for the last 10 years, most recently serving as a manager at Oracle. My github and blog are fairly prolific so please start there.

I'm particularly interested in working with small companies on scaling data systems and building out internal analytics/reporting systems. I'm building an open-source product to help facilitate the latter [0].

I'm focused on contract engagements at the moment.

I like the template but I bristle at the notion that being a software engineer is a "privilege." I have spent countless hours training and re-training myself on technologies that change every few years: don't confuse my work ethic and interest in software engineering with some sort of passive privilege that fell into my lap. There are people far smarter than me who either cannot or don't have the perseverance to stay in this industry because it means having a never-ending commitment to learning and starting over (as opposed to having the privilege of getting hired as a manager at a company because of your blood line).

My biggest complaint with all these super useful sites is that I can never remember them when I need them. Replace this in YouTube to bypass country restrictions, replace that in arxiv to view in browser, etc.

I wish somebody could make an extension or repository system to store all these, and prompt you sometimes when on the sites.
California rolls are legal? Why didn't I know this for the 45 years I lived in California? :)

If the company accepts the liability, I can't be charged for a driving crime while the car is out of my control, and it is statistical safer to let the car drive itself I am on board, but the courts haven't cleared the liability problem, and there are safety concerns with large white trucks being detected, so driving your own car seems like the right choice for 2022.
Y Combinator | Product Engineer | SF, NY or Remote (US only) | Full-Time | https://www.workatastartup.com/jobs/48790

If you're interested in learning more about startups, Y Combinator is hiring for a full-stack Product Engineer. Working at YC probably is one of the best ways to learn about startups. Everyone on the team gets to participate in the YC programming -- dinners, talks and more. You'll get a unique vantage point to learn about startups, and to write software that has helped companies like Airbnb, Stripe and Instacart exist.

We're a team of 10 full-stack product engineers and have a pretty broad range of experiences -- from bigger companies like FB and Google, as well as former YC founders ourselves. Our stack is pretty straightforward (Rails, React, Postgres), but the last three engineers have learned it on the job. True to YC advice, our product engineers talk to our customers regularly (in our case, it's mostly founders) and ship fast. We also define our own roadmap. You won't be building software to scale to millions of users, but you'll be talking 1-1 with lots of founders to build stuff they need to help build and grow their companies, and that's a different kind of reward.

In particular, we're hiring for the Admissions software team. This is an opportunity to help YC write software that selects companies for YC interviews and ultimately for our batch. We're hiring for both an IC and/or a tech lead who has done mentorship, code review and helped define systems previously. While no past experience in reading applications/building review software isn't necessary, an interest in learning more about startups (and possibly having worked at one) is a huge asset in this role.

Lastly, we pay competitively (both in salary and stock-like benefits), offer reasonable work-life balance, and we're fully remote at this point, with some center-of-gravity in SF and NY.

If working on YC's software team and helping great startups sounds interesting at all, please apply above OR email me at ryan AT ycombinator.com.

After reading the responses, all I can say is that the US recruiting industry must be a lot different from the UK one. Or maybe it's different because I'm not in a popular niche like Python dev or something.

I'm in the UK and I just looked at my latest linkedin recruiter message. They told me the company type, the role, the skills they were looking for. An accurate enough description to make me think it was a real role. They didn't include the rate, but that would have been my next question if I had been interested.

If I'm not interested in the role, I normally reply with "Thank you for thinking of me but it's not right for me because [reason]. Good luck in your search." I might even refer them on to a friend if I know one that fits the requirement and may be looking.

Howdy folks, I'm wrapping up my position as a startup founder in the cannabis industry and looking for my next opportunity. I've got quite a bit of experience both in traditional tech job roles as well as in IT consulting + entrepreneurial (10+ years each) and have a very good understanding of wide breadth of technologies having been working with tech since the early days of TCP/IP and the Internet. I have also worked in/with a very diverse set of industries, and have a strategic mindset when it comes to building products, services, and businesses. Love to solve problems big or small, love to make things more efficient, and especially love to create. Fun facts: I first started programming games as a kid on a Vic 20, and most recently have been awarded a few patents related to controlled environment agriculture technology.
It's about as illegal as breaking the speed limit

Which, last I checked for the state of WA, is also illegal. Just because there isn’t a cop ticketing every rolling stop at the intersection next to the elementary school by my house doesn’t make it “kind of okay because a lot of people do it”. It just means the municipality sucks at enforcement.

Sorry to hear that. This practice degrades the signal to noise ratio of the language and in my view is absolutely indefensible. It's possible for languages to evolve in ways that make them objectively better or worse; we should strongly resist the latter. If we are sloppy and lazy, we make the language sloppy.
I think most crossroads could accomodate a mini roundabout, maybe lopping off each corner a bit. Where I live, converting an crossroad to a roundabout seems to take about a year, they close and completely excavate the existing roadway, relocate storm drains, build a huge center island, and take an additional 10' of property all around. It seems excessive.
I don't think there are any federal laws about traffic signs. California's laws require you to come to a complete stop at stop signs. Programming a computer to intentionally break the law "because I have places to go" seems like poor judgement to me.
it gets worse the more you dig in. The middle number is am aspect ratio for length of sidewall. so its side wall thickness 35% of 245mm. Then on top of that when youre getting into trucks and jeeps common sizing switches to inches. so you go from 315/70/R18 to something like 35x12.5r18

complete shitshow.
I requires multiple people to be successful at sustenance. There's a reason humans in history have large groups of families and many children bunched into a community (tribe!) to work together. The same is true today. Everything takes time or money. So if you require more than 24 hours a day and 7 days a week to upkeep and grow your food supply or craft goods -- you need more people working on it or you pay the difference.

Sarah Taber might offer some more context on this too: https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2019/06/america-loves-the-id...
Surely 40g of sugar if you do not need all that energy is worse than 0g of sugar.

Almost every advancement in dietary knowledge I have see over my life has indicated more and more that excess sugar (and carbs in general) is by far the biggest problem all over the world. And it is trivial to consume excess carbs with a modern lifestyle in a developed country.
As far as I know, someone noticed something fishy and told the final interviewer their suspicion to be sure. Like the way the candidate would only explain stuff after it was written. If you're on a video call and observant, I think you could tell if the typing didn't sync up with what you saw. I imagine it might be hard to notice at first, but if someone suspects it I would think a skilled interviewer could throw a few wrenches in their plan to see how the respond.
> Edit: Lazy people downvote - find something better to do with your time, or some other form of entertainment.

If you must know, I downvoted you because you whines about downvotes. Sure, I'm lazy, but at least I don't cry about internet points.
> By “reinvent everything,” I believe you mean to say that you have to make your own linked-lists to have adjustable strings, and you have to create structs with function pointers to have objects…

Spot on.

> C chose to be simple in the language itself and not in the code.

But it market itself being simple so people even newcomers think that C is simple in every regard. Only few people rarely acknowledge this fact.

> The single greatest praise that I will give to C is that the entirety of the language can be held in the mind of the programmer using it, with zero need for reference. This is impossible in most other languages.

In other languages, which parts you are unable to held in your mind?

The only instance where I need references in C++ is STD library features. But if we measure, it take less time than if we were to reinvent it on C.

All the "unseen" pairs of languages had parallel texts with English so Google's vaunted "interlingua" was most likely natural English.

But you shouldn't be downvoted for repeating Google's claim I think. It should be Google that is shamed for peddling such unmitigated nonsense.

Now feed-reading is built in and I'm excited to share it and get feedback from all of you! Thanks!

There is a mix of a "neural net planner" and a "explicit planning and control" in traditional code[1]. The explicit planner has the last word, and uses input from both the "vector space" and the neural net planner.

Karpathy has commented about the neural nets gradually replacing the traditional code. See his presentation[2] around 18:45.

Similarly, some years ago I prototyped an ESC/POS client (?) for a Bluetooth thermal printer. It was implemented as a Chrome Extension/Chrome App pair, because only Apps were allowed to use Chrome's proprietary Bluetooth API back then. Extension and App communicated via postMessage IIRC. I was shocked how well that hack actually worked. Google then sunset Chrome Apps, and Web Bluetooth never happened.

OK, I see. Because back in the day it was more or less standard to use powder in the groin area and leave it for hours in order to prevent skin irritation in babies, especially in the summer. So since it was standard usage, people should reasonably expect that the powder sold for this purpose was sufficiently examined and fit for the purpose.

When I first heard about asbestos in children talc powder, I simply thought it was just one of these "bad pharma" conspiracy theories (there was another one - about asbestos in sanitary towels). It seemed so far-fetched - who in their right mind wouldn't make sure to thoroughly check a product designed to have long-term contact with babies' skin against well-known carcinogenic substance? Well, it turns out this time it happened not in China but right in the heart of the USA.
I agree, I can't wait to forget about what the name of the repository is
"FSD beta" refers to the specific autonomy-in-all-circumstances product in testing. You have to request it, then prove you can win a game vs. the car's Safety Score feature for a few weeks or months, then wait to be upgraded. It's available to the public, but only in limited release.

"Full Self Driving" is the name of the vehicle option that you can purchase or license, which includes a bunch of different features (light/sign recognition, autonomous navigation on highways, lane changes, stuff like that).
sounds like a short
Not GP but I can’t shake that it feels rude, even if expected.

But more practically: if I decline after the first, I don’t get the other 4 emails they have queued up for me
Here are some reasons I can think of that impact software quality:

- Profitability prioritized over user experience

- Design prioritized over functionality

- Never-ending push towards new (mostly useless) features

- Poor product specification for new features

- Insufficient involvement from customers/users in the Product life cycle

- Technical team not involved in Product decisions

- Lack of investment to reduce overall technical debt

- Disregard to system architecture and coding conventions

- Deficient onboarding/training of new developers

- Desire to adopt new tools/frameworks instead of proven/established ones
You make it sound like as of something just by being legal adheres to the platonic form of truth. There are so many dumb laws. For example in a certain state I can't remember it's illegal to have an ice cream in your back pocket on Sundays. There are many, many idiotic laws that one would do well to at least question, instead of shaming others or being "baffled" why others don't put up with them.
Reuters has been biased in their news telling for some time now.

Not entirely unlike the rest of the mainstream media, I would suppose.
fetch is a "modern" (ES6 era, so not brand new) API for making HTTP requests, to replace XMLHttpRequest (the older method that IE pioneered).

It's promise based (thus easier to integrate into code than older callback styles), and designed to give some better options around CORS and handling responses.

> Why it should be in node?

There is a push to adopt some certain "web apis" (APIs that emerged in web browsers) to increase compatibility, reusability and reduce cognitive load when working with both backend and frontend javascript.

Having a common low level call like fetch() means that libraries that are built atop it (SDKs to talk to services, or apply common middleware like JSON:API, oAuth etc) can be shared between node/deno and browsers.
As for someone who just dabbles in JavaScript from time to time, there are so many things that surprise me...

I've found that this makes 80-90% of recruiters go completely silent. For some reason, asking for this basic information scares off the vast majority of recruiters.

I'm genuinely unsure what I - or they - get out of dragging this out into a screenful of blah blah blah.

That's an interesting challenge for autonomous vehicles though... On one hand, the idea of programming your self-driving system to violate the law seems baffling. On the other hand, there are unwritten local rules everywhere. I suspect that even though rolling stop are illegal in California, the traffic density requires drivers to adopt a more aggressive stance if they want to move effectively and rolling stop helps that, especially when multiple cars are stopped in line waiting at a stop sign.

If most people adopted that unsafe unlawful behaviour but which help reduce congestion, what are you suppose to do as a car maker if respecting the law will make other users road-rage against your client using your self-driving system?
When one of your main complaints about your self driving car is that it is too timid and doesn’t avoid potholes, I think things are progressing just fine. Just step back a little and think about where the technology was 5, 10 years ago. Heck even 20 years ago. Imagine telling someone on a forum “yeah my self driving car is fine but a little timid for me and ugh, potholes!”
Rolling stops are illegal in California and you will get ticketed if the cops catch you doing it, even if it was perfectly safe.

This seems to be an example of Tesla “pushing the boundaries” in a way that puts their customers at risk. I’m all for small-l libertarianism, but they could spend effort where it actually mattered instead of this childish petulance.

2016 1,465 produced ? imported

I imagine ? is quite a lot. I'm not sure how they do the numbers but we import a lot of gas and oil. I'd guess the drop in produced has more to do with north sea oil running out than greenery.
Why M? The whole point of radix sort is to do the comparisons binary digit by digit so that the total number becomes O(N * log(M)).

Typography of code : Design meets the IDE. How can the visual presentation of code be made more functional and aesthetic. Syntax highlighting doesn't have to be the zenith of how code is displayed.
