I have 10+ years experience implementing software systems. I'm in the process of exploring full-time opportunities, but in the meantime, I'm open to some contract work for the next month or two. I'm specifically looking to get my hands dirty on a Go project or something other than the usual React/node.js/TypeScript :)

Keyword soup: Go, golang, Elixir, Erlang, C, Swift, Win32, VPN, API, GraphQL, SQLite, Tailwind, REST, SSO, WebAuthn, web3, crypto, browser extension, ...

>> "anything can be learned in a reasonable amount of time"

I routinely say something to this affect in jobs for which I a interviewing. I tell them I am not an expert in anything, but I feel I can learn anything given enough time. The caveat is in some businesses time is the limiting factor and the business doesn't have the time for me to learn.

But I'd love to work for your company or one like it.

> - outright discrimination against minority groups and women in payment

No there isn’t.

Purported wage gaps for women have never been on a peer basis and always about aggregate earnings — which fail to reflect the realities (such as the fact men die 10x as often in the workplace).

You’re spreading myths.

> it becomes a medical condition you've been stuck with.

It can feel like this. However, for me, it was much more of a "finally, an explanation!". It showed me my limits are a bit lower than I hoped for, but it gave me immense clarity about those limits. Plus finding your limits, realising there are things you'll never achieve... I think that's anyone's fate sooner or later. It's okay.
I completely agree with your point here.

As I wrote in a previous comment for a different post: I'm currently developing an "experimental" piece of software, i.e. I am not even sure some features I want to add are possible, meaning I had to rewrite it a couple of times (and won't be the last). Having strict versioning, pinning, and documenting everything before it reaches a semi-stable state would discourage me from developing it altogether.
Of course it's not happening, because that's a weak-man version of the argument (at best).

We still have a strong norm for monogamy, so of course you're going to see plenty of couples when you look out the window. The "stable marriages problem" resolving itself is always going to lead to a lot of marriages... What you don't see is how those people feel. Do they feel lucky to have their partner? Or do they feel that it's mostly the partner who's lucky in having them?

Yeah, definitely. I made a mistake a while back, and swapped one of my testing networks to v6 only, and I was surprised I only noticed things were broken after a few days (looking at you github).

I think it has a lot to do with people being put behind cloudflare etc, and getting v6 basically for free

Nope.

Or rather - If the _only reason_ for doing so was to get some money then absolutely not.

If I refer someone I usually let the recruiter know that I am going to pass on their details to someone I know and leave it to the friend / colleague to decide if they want to apply/approach the recruiter. If there is a commission /finders fee then usually I will ask the recruiter to take me out for lunch and a few drinks. Win-Win on that front because doing it that way helps to keep you at the top of the queue when they (recruiters) think of potential candidates.
It's interesting and sophisticated behaviour, but there are limits to what extent I'd characterise it as intelligent. I'm sure the spider has no concept of the animals it's mimicking, or that it's even mimicking an animal, or anything else. It might even be a stretch to describe their tactics as 'planned' in the human sense, as they're probably automatic responses to stimuli. They're still one of the most interesting and adept creatures we commonly encounter though.

This is really question of good high level system design, so you don't need to change all code in case of small changes in overall behavior.

Other name of this is tight coupled vs loose coupled system.
Good about that this is a bad idea?

Except in cases where they are, like this one.

Just cause you want convenience doesn't change the fact your fingerprints aren't good passwords.
Agreed. @nogc is useful if you have no a disabled or no-runtime, or in tight loops. Other than that, it's more fruitful to use pools, benchmark the GC, keep scannable heap small.
I tend to do the exact opposite. Only when the program is fully done (if ever) do I document it (beyond peppered lines of documentation that explain something that is not obvious from code). There is good reason for this: Premature abstraction. As others have pointed out when I start to work on an idea, I’m not sure about everything. Working on it will reveal misassumptions and blind spots in my current thinking. I have also learned to abstract out behavior into functions lazily. Often having created defined functions with an immaturely developed idea is a hindrance to flexible experimentation.
Seems like something that would be worth generalising a little bit, perhaps merge /usr/local/etc into /etc every boot? Probably could be as simple as "rsync -r /usr/local/etc/ /etc/".
The technology used by PragmatIC is not based on organic semiconductors though. The only organic material is the substrate (Kapton, I assume).

The transistors are based on IGZO (Indium Gallium Zink Oxide), which is a relatively new material and is an amorphous high-channel mobility wide band gap material. The transistors are not as fast as LTPS, but have much lower leakage. Since the material does not have to by crystallized, it can be deposited at fairly low temperatures on plastic subtrate.

You may very well regard IGZO as the plastic electronics killer, because it does everything that PTTT/Pentacene etc. was supposed to do. Noble prize? Let's see.

Sadly, IGZO is not a rival to silicon when it comes to power efficiency, speed, and cost per gate. So these MCUs are nice demonstrators, but the use case is doubtful.

IGZO is great for display, large area sensing and possibly memory.

p.s.: Congrats on the research, very interesting paper! I am long out of the field, but still amazed about the progree being made. I wonder, what does the high ionic conductivity mean to device stability, especially if used with a field effect device?

> What is a dating place then?

Well the topic of this post is dating apps where everyone there is explicitly down to date.

> In my experience any event/meetup/whatever that explicitly mentions dating/singles/mingling becomes a sausage fest right away.

>You could say exactly the same thing about bars and clubs. They are there to have fun with their friends, not to date.

I agree, some men act like dating is a hunting ground probably part of the reason why dating apps have so few women.

Well my point is that if you ask a woman out at a dance class, she can certainly turn you down because she is not interested in you. But it can also be because thats not what she came for. Like I might love Pizza, but if I go to my accountant and he offers me some, I probably will turn it down.

Common interests like dance, can be a starting point for a relationship, and classes with people can be a jumping point to talking and seeing if there is any chemistry. But your intention to going to dance classes shouldn't be dating women, it will never work out that way.
This may be true, but as an argument it kind of misses the forest, don't you think?
>> The difference between us and the animals is that they lack enough intelligence to produce anything meaningful(i.e technology, innovation etc) during their lifespan thus the reason why their scope in life is to become good food for us.

Same logic can be applied to children until a certain age, disabled, sick, old and/or mentally handicapped people. Kettle is easy to take advantage of, it's convenient and almost everything they "produce" can be sold (milk, meat, skin). Not showing enough compassion for sentient beings while having the ability and options to not have them as "a tasty meal" makes you a bad person in that regard. You can be social worker, a teacher, doctor or overall caring person, and have other great character traits, because nothing has to be black and white. Having superior intelligence and using that as an argument to justify exploitation of other living beings is a very sad way to look at all of this in my eyes.
It’s special in that it has a special purpose. Just like bread has a special purpose.

fingerprint are not passwords at all, they are fingerprints.

Checking for a fingerprint match essentially means that the administrator of the device is present and authorises the action, assuming that their fingerprints are not copied by an attacker and they are not physically forced to comply with an attacker.

Checking for a password match essentially means that the administrator of the device might or might not be present but authorises the action, assuming that the password was not obtained through a post-it, coercion, phishing, guessing or any other password extraction method and they are not physically forced to comply with an attacker.
Spitballing, but maybe the problem is that no doctors wants to be the guy in town who's the most generous with opioid prescriptions, as then he'll get swamped by people seeking opioids?

Nope. In a well-designed system, this just be minimal. Design a better system with better access to medical records throughout the system, lesser liability (the US, mostly), and paid medical leave so that people can actually heal. The alternative is simply that we leave folks in different levels of pain. Heck, even just being able to see prescriptions nationally would be a bonus (Right now, in Norway, when I get an electronic prescription, I can go to any pharmacy to fill it and they can see my prescription history) Innocent people shouldn't have to go to the black market for pain relief because they can't get things figured out legally.

Again, I firmly believe that the first response should always be to believe the patient.
The problem with algorithmic dating is that people don't know what they want. I evidently don't, at any rate; I've mostly ended up with partners that initially seemed to be pretty unpromising material. They only began to appeal to me as I got to know them. I'd never have met them if I'd pre-filtered through an application form.

Sure, smoking/non-smoking; perhaps dietary preferences; education; location. But I, a veggie, used to cook for a carnivorous family, for example. If I were preparing an application form consisting only of dealbreakers, I doubt it would have more than a couple of questions.
There is a network effect of the critical mass of people who assume and use apps as the best way to date these days, and many of the traditional ways to date have eroded.

I've never intentionally passed a string to a function that expects a list of strings. But I have done it accidentally very often and received an incorrect return value (instead of an exception).

I'm including functions like min() there, technically it can take a string argument, but I've never wanted it to.
> Has Hinge avoided the dark patterns of the Match Group and/or Bumble

The way likes function on Hinge makes it a bit harder to implement those dark patterns.

What they have done is pull out the most attractive users and put them in a 'Standouts' section. These users can only be liked by using a 'Rose'. Uses get one Rose every 48 hours (I think) and need to purchase more if they want to like more of the Standouts.
I know very little about brains in general but I would guess that the number of synapses (connections between nuerons) has more to do with intelligence than the number of neurons themselves. Could be that this scales exponentially. I think it's much easier to count neurons tho, seems like we have good numbers for lots of species.

Worth considering that African elephants have 3x the nuerons we do, Killer Whales twice as many only counting the cerebellum.

I don't see your point. Obviously, some of those folks are just technically overweight - BMI at 25 - and aren't going to get as much help even though most of us picture obesity when looking at this. And that still leaves 10-40% that aren't and still have OSA.

> The burglars took their time and took apart everything, cutting all pictures out of their frames, etc. If a written password existed, they would have found it.

> GUARANTEED

The thing with giving it to an attorney is you would have an contract, and I would expect them to explain very clearly what liability they would have in the event of this kind of mistake. I would also expect them to be good at keeping paper secrets in boxes, that's a very traditional practice.
QQQ is security that tracks the NASDAQ (NASDAQ 1% up = QQQ 1% up). TQQQ is a security that tracks the NASDAQ x3. (NASDAQ 1% up = TQQQ 3% up). SQQQ is a security that tracks the NASDAQ Inverse x3. (NASDAQ 1% up = SQQQ 3% down).

In the context of "using leverage to provide better than expected returns in a Bull market", someone can buy TQQQ, securitize/create derivative (this is exclusively what crypto does) that returns 1.5 times the NASDAQ, sell you that derivative, and if the NASDAQ goes up 5% (TQQQ 15%) you get 7.5% and they get 7.5% (and your money).

If it goes down, you lose everything and they keep the money you gave them.
Good point.

`q!` is quit without saving, right? So we should have a "halt the system NOW without saving anything" command, aliased to `q!` or possibly `:q!`, for the convenience of Vim users.

Talking about something as a market doesn't mean it should be a market. I've known plenty of people - women too - who spoke with disdain of the "meat market", but still went to bars to meet strangers, put up online profiles etc., things they hated, because what can you do? People get lonely, and women are people too.

Which is why it's so arrogant to say participating is optional. You have to go where people are, unless you're OK with being lonely for a long time.

Yes women are unable to say no if you are hot enough. Its a defect they have from birth. You said you are pretty certain in things you have 5+ years of exp in, so how come you are sharing your opinion on what women want? Shoouldn't you at least get an internship on that before sharing your "knowledge" ?

> I'm pretty certain of my opinions on only things that I have 5+ years experience in

Google sampling bias, confirmation bias, empirical data != research and "how to not confuse my personal experience with reality". I knew most people didn't know that correlation != causation but I wasn't expecting people to not know their bachata class might not represent 8 billion peoples experience...

> I was saying what woman "want".

And you would be wrong about that, because your research is you confirmation bias and not any actual study.
>For instance, it's a truism that AAA studios that are dominating the market, like big Hollywood studios, must trend towards increasingly reliably safe blockbuster titles to make back their immense budgets. And yet there are still plenty of indie studios today. Indie gaming is stronger than ever. And yet why the consolidation into fewer and less innovative/interesting forms?

I think the problem is the minimum cost of making games is too high. It's very difficult for a single person to make a movie, but there is a low cost alternative - writing books (and scripts). A book can translate pretty well into a movie, but there is no proper alternative for games. Maybe custom games in map editors of established games is the closest we can get, but even that tends to require a lot of skill using that specific map editor.

In Japan there are people who start out writing web novels. These are usually not the greatest quality (compared to published novels), but because anybody can just sit down and start writing there's a lot of them. Once in a while some of them become popular and end up getting adapted into manga, anime, even movies. This is (somewhat) happening or going to happen in the western world too. I don't think there's an equivalent path for that in games though.

The other problem is with players. Players expect most games to do too much. It's not like novels where you pick a novel read it once (for some hours) and never read it again. Players play some games for thousands and thousands of hours.

If they want a whole JSON Document here - which apparently they do - but they don't want to just admit that everybody uses serde, they can provide a Trait like OurJSONLogRecord and then provide the implementation for OurJSONLogRecord on the serde type. You can implement it on whatever internal JSON documents are ready to be logged.

This OurJSONLogRecord still surfaces the undocumented assumption, "Oh, we need the entire JSON document, we didn't realise anybody would want to stream data" whereas the Write trait does not.
