Location: Los Angeles area

Remote: Open to remote anywhere or hybrid in the LA area

Willing to relocate: Leaning toward no

Technologies: Lately Ruby/Rails. Python/Flask before that. Some React sprinkled in there. I'm not too picky about tech stack – I've switched a few times and I'll probably be able to pick yours up.

Resume: on request

Role: targeting senior/staff backend IC. Not interested in director, EM, or heavy leadership type roles – I want to stay hands on.

Email: audible.cleats-07@icloud.com

I'm a value-minded backend engineer, currently in a staff+ role at a successful ecomm company. 15ish YoE, most of that in startups, most of those backend roles. My main strengths are:

- Pragmatism: doing what's right for the company/business rather than what seems cool in terms of tech.

- Aptitude for understanding complex legacy systems & working productively within them (I'm not going to say "this sucks! we need to stop everything and rewrite it!" a week after joining)

- Curiosity/interest in learning about the business and customers impacted by my work (so I can do a better job of building). Learning new domains and new business areas is one of the things I like most about changing jobs.

- Willingness to color outside the lines when needed to make the company successful (e.g., putting on my PM hat to fill in gaps where needed). I think of this as a "fixer" mindset.

I'm passively looking for my next role. Main priorities are:

- Sustainable pace, and good work/life balance. I don't want an org that encourages – explicitly or implicitly – folks to work themselves to burnout.

- Financially solid/healthy company (for obvious reasons in this economy)

- Diverse team (in age, seniority, past experience, etc). I want different perspectives to learn from.

- Collegial, friendly, supportive team dynamic.

- Collaborative and open product/eng relationship.

Open on tech stack – I'm a quick learner and not snobby about them. Pretty open on industry/company focus. I specialize in logistics now & would love to continue learning about that, but not a requirement. I'm in LA and like it here, but would consider relocating to the SF Bay Area or NYC for a really awesome fit (and a really strong offer).
In my experience, stop looking and it'll find you. I met my wife on the beach, basically randomly. Neither of us wanted a relationship at the time, we just enjoyed talking to each other so much. Our "first date" was to a hiking meetup, where we ditched everyone and broke into a park after-hours, explored shit, and at some point, kissed, while hiding from the park rangers.

But seriously, just stop looking.
At the very least op should ask whoever sends her an email to confirm that they are user “mtklein” by updating his hn profile about section with a random, unique, string she generates or something. Just to be sure they are the right person. Also rip her inbox.
Just from the top of my mind: Excel, Word, Photoshop, Windows Commander (called Total Commander today), SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Borland Delphi.
For how long? Being recent (on evolutionary timescales), evolution has created selection pressures on previously irrelevant variables (the desire to have children, in particular). Without contraception or female labor force participation, people didn't decide how many children to have before urbanisation: everyone who didn't die just kept having kids. The poorest places are still like this. But in evolutionarily novel urban contexts, people choose how many kids to have; if this decision has a genetic component, that means the current urban millieu selects for people who want more kids. Basic genetics tells us that the number of people who "want more kids" will grow exponentially (so long as culture doesn't keep driving preferences for children down). The key question, of course, is "what's the exponent?". It depends on the heritability of fertility, and data from behavioural genetics indicates that it's high in urbanised societies. If your parents had more kids than average, you probably will (even if you were adopted at birth and didn't grow up with your parents). The effect is large enough that it would have a big impact on the UN population estimates by 2100. See https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S10905...

The cultural offset is an important caveat, but it's possible that most of the cultural fertility decline due to urbanisation has been exhausted in urban socities, in which case the heritability effect will become more important.

I find it strange that natural selection is never part of the argument on debates like this. It's laughable that it's completely ignored by the UN. I suspect the tendency of humans to view themselves as separate from the animals meakes selection seem irrelevant. But we shouldn't forget its power: the types of people who deciding not to reproduce today are the types of people who won't be there to make that decision tomorrow.

All this to day, our contemporary perspective might seem very parochial in a few generations and while we can't predict future culture, the power of selection should never be ignored.
It's clear enough that the particular form of society we're used to follows the demographics of its largest generations. For the US, that means the Boomers have defined the conversation since the 70's when they started to vote and have careers, and a lot of foundational sociocultural premises about "how the world works" were set back then and remained untouched until just now.

I can see it in my parents: they're increasingly upset and blame a so-in-so in government for being "an idiot", but it's not over the same things that my generation is, and it's not wholly defined by party politics or culture wars either, though they are drawn to the messaging and engage with the soap operas of the news cycle. It's a much bigger affront for them when something new is being tried that "obviously doesn't work", because their opinion was set back when the options were different and fewer - and the people who thought differently back then didn't survive: surviving sets norms.

Combine that with the looming pains and fears of age and now they are just axiomatically conservative. No change, change doesn't work, change is a grift. Invest in winners. Faced with a broad reinvention of the world that ignores their opinions and shuffles around policy and value chains pragmatically with the available constraints, they are terrified.

Highlight reconstruction was a major and well-known shortcoming in versions they were using. Better highlight reconstruction for large blown-out areas was finally added in darktable 4.0.
Weapons made in Israel are used for genocide, for ethnic cleansing
Thank you people for your amazing work. I use Darktable all the time. It is very good editor.
Fantastic example of website made for client for free
Yeah they seem to be. Except Azure AD stuff, which kinda makes sense (still wish that part were more easily automated)
It's an old debate, and I'm not familiar with the current usage.

Stallman explains: "The two terms describe almost the same category of software, but they stand for views based on fundamentally different values. Open source is a development methodology; free software is a social movement."

Clojure is Open Source by this definition, since it is developed by a collective group, as opposed to a permissibly licensed but static artifact. People are welcome to run their projects however they like, but the entitlement comes from the philosophy that Open Source is more than a contract, and is better when there is participation. Labels matter because they set expectations – Apple does not call their Public Source "Open Source", and people don't complain because they understand the difference.
It literally says Web3 on the second heading of the landing page.

It shows some weird value of these things. What other advertisement would people pay GBP 25 for almost 40 years later?
Is it fanciful to hope this could - in and of itself - allow several polluting power stations to be decommissioned, and/or appreciably reduce energy prices for the rest of us?
In other fields, this is called triage. Some communities are bleeding profusely and police can only temporarily stem the symptoms because the root cause is much deeper. In other communities, quick intervention can stabilize the situation
A bit less fancy than a railgun, but similar to what you were thinking: https://www.spinlaunch.com/
I don't think it's content sniffing per se -- GCC is aware of the "standard" extensions for C and C++ sources, and will complain if an input doesn't match one of them (absent other flags to override the behavior, like `-x c++`.
Hitachi used to sponsor Liverpool in 1979 as well. You know how I know this? I read this article: https://restofworld.org/2022/football-shirt-tech-sponsorship...

I don't think that article (nor the one in the submission) claims that this is a recent phenomenon.
Sure, though the equity refreshes done at Google are done yearly targeting a $$ range at the current share price, and then vesting over multiple years. So even if the stock goes down it will tend to amortize out to about the same over a number of years, and if the stock goes up a bunch again older grants made "at the bottom" could even net you big results.

But of course there's also the chance that not only will Google's stock go down, but their revenues... and generosity... will to.

Me, I "lucked out" and sold my RSU at the peak. Though I've been living off the cash proceeds since, so.

The lake's been disappearing for a long time ... it's what's left of pro-glacial Lake Bonneville. At one time it had an area of ~ 50K km^2. A lot of the salt became concentrated as that lake (with no outlet) slowly evaporated. (It left the Bonneville Salt Flats behind, once famous for landspeed record-making.)

This is not a good advice. You got lucky despite not looking - recognise that. A slightly better version is "make sure you're open to opportunities outside of explicit dating context".
As my edit mentions, seems at least that part is opt-in rather than a core of the protocol. So you can use it without "Web3" if you want.
This is a plot element in Unforgiven, the 1992 Best Picture winning western starring Clint Eastwood. His character, an old, ex-gunfighter, routinely fires last in shootouts, but still wins because his opponents get caught up in the moment and miss.

C applications targeting Windows must provide their own C library with malloc and free (if they are using the "hosted implementation" features of C).

MSVCRT.DLL isn't the library "everyone" uses; just Microsoft programs, and some misguided freeware built with MinGW.

Even if ADVAPI32.DLL uses MSVCRT.DLL, it's not going to mistakenly call the malloc that you provide in your application; Windows DLL's don't even have that sort of global symbol resolution power.

I would be very surprised if any public API in ADVAPI32 returns a pointer that the application is required to directly free, or accept a pointer that the application must malloc. If that were the case, you'd have to attach to MSVCRT.DLL with LoadLibrary, look up those functions with GetProcAddress and call them that way.

Windows has non-malloc allocators for sharing memory that way among DLL's: the "Heap API" in KERNEL32. One component can HeapAlloc something which another can HeapFree: they have to agree on the same heap handle, though. You can use GetProcessHeap to get the default heap for the process.

It may be that the MSVCRT.DLL malloc uses this; or else it's based on VirtualAlloc directly.
In what sense were the people you dated varied? Gender? Age? Class? Race? Nationality? Geography? Lifestyle?

What are your expectations of your potential partner?
Win32 has an allocator (HeapAlloc), and it is similarly slow and low-concurrent. Even if you enable the newer stuff like LFH.
Sure, but that doesn't mean the UX is good. "This is meaningful to videographers and colorists" is a not a great defense of UX for an app that is targeted towards photographers, not videographers or colorists.

Lightroom and Capture One (and heck, even Affinity Photo), make common photography tasks like highlight recovery easily accessed with a single slider. Sure, the Darktable UI may be "meaningful to colorists", but that doesn't necessarily result in a good UX for the main people that are likely to want to use it.
There also used to be much more explicit street names until they were sanitised

You mean that same group(s) that could not even handle Afghanistan?

We are lucky in the US there is not violent sectarian groups. They would be very hard to deal with despite your feelings otherwise.

The reality of it would not be boomers wondering around the capital building. It would be a hard to identify group that conducts attacks and then goes back to looking like a regular suburban Joe. It would be a total nightmare.
>We must have free will in order to choose to try to consciously shape the system we live in into one that promotes our desired outcomes

Not necessarily. You have to remember that all human knowledge is standing on the shoulders of those that came before us. It took us such an insanely long time to learn about systems and apply the knowledge to systems that are larger and more complex, including making out own systems that accomplish something for us.

It was only a matter of time that we started realizing that we exist as part of a deterministic system, based on the deterministic laws of the pieces that underlie our material existence.

Applying that knowledge of systems analysis can have greater impact than just making nice tools for us, we can shape the direction of humanity if we communicate and work together.

It's a natural process that has been developing for an incredibly long time, which is something that we generally lack the perspective to appreciate.

The system includes far more than just our actions as humans, more than our politics and its impact on human society. We have the rest of the natural world to contend and reach balance with as well. Our policy interacts with that as well.

When it comes to the way we organize to accomplish things as humans, including government and corporations, the way we have designed these systems excludes certain people based on arbitrary characteristics such as location, language, culture, or wealth/resources. We do have the ability to change these systems so that everyone has a more even say so that more perspectives are taken into account.

That means ensuring everyone have access to equal educational and supportive resources to reduce stress. This is a systemic change that would make it easier for everyone to go about their lives without worrying about things like food and shelter, it lets them participate more fully in society.

If you want to know how another society is doing with holding people accountable when they harm others, the Nordic and Scandinavian countries are doing a great job with rehabilitation. From my understanding of behavior, I think what they're doing is a great step in the right direction that will help society at large.
I don't think google's recent troubles are a result of index size.

Pretty sure G could throw more money and resources at it if they thought that would make a dent.

It feels more like a lot of real content is collateral damage to the SEO vs google wars. e.g. A blogger was complaining the other day that someone had set up an automation to automatically scrape their content the second it gets published, run it through translate twice and publish the resulting semi-gibberish.

Those sort of shenanigans are I suspect quite hard to deal with even if you're google
its dangerous and not a great place to visit these days, unfortunately. Was there a few weeks ago.
There's always a hidden cost. There's also the fact that on 120k an employer is required to contribute 3% and likely does so via salary sacrifice which changes the numbers again.

The number I picked for California is also on the higher end, other states are lower again. All thats to say a direct general comparison isn't possible but it's not right to claim that the west has a higher tax burden either the numbers are dangerously close in many cases.
Unfortunately (and for seemingly no reason), you can't seem to turn off pull requests.
This is terrible advice if "doing nothing" results in OP staying at home or otherwise not being in situations likely to intersect with new potential mates.

Different things work for different people. Glad not looking worked out nicely for you!
This is very obvious if you've ever played CSGO.

Your character dies extremely quickly, so most people will panic and quickly react when taking fire. If you do this, you can usually land a few body shots before dying, however unless you manage to headshot them you will surely lose the exchange.

You eventually train yourself suppress this reflex and calmly aim for a headshot in high stress situations.
linearity is an illusion created by the bias of being trapped at one level of cognition and perception. if something can not work with abstract geometrical vector rules in an exponential way, then we got something wrong at the local level. even if it makes sense from that local perspective, in that local frame of reference. biggest example of this is our lack of theory of time that is compatible with quantum mechanics.
False. Prove it to yourself. Visit https://timeline.google.com/ to verify that it is off, or to turn it off. Now go to https://www.google.com/maps/ , click menu → Your places → Labeled to see your home and work, or to add one.
>Over the last two years I’ve been on over 120 dates with men I’ve met online - a few I met in person - in 3 different cities

I'd aim to reduce your rate of new dates over time by changing your criteria for whether to go or not. There is likely a mismatch between them and whatever your true preferences are. Obvious to focus on the specificity, but my hunch is that sensitivity is the key. Worth considering also that the pool of potential mates (spanning 3 cities) is vastly greater than almost anyone else at any time in history had access to, which also suggests that selection criteria are the important factor here.

>I’ve read and done the exercises in Calling In the One, Love Addiction, Datonomics, Make Your Move and If the Buddha dated. I’ve listened to every episode of Girls Gotta Eat.

Similarly, I'd also aim for quality over quantity in sources of advice. At a certain point, more advice will just dilute the concentration of good advice.
Good luck putting furniture against those curved walls.

I don't see how this is any better than prefab concrete panels.

If you're starting a new Go project, I strongly recommend using a custom import path- I host go.bbkane.com with GitHub Pages and it was easy and free to set up with vangen and GitHub Pages (I already own bbkane.com).

open source is not just one thing. I think of it like a bunch of tribes loosely operating in amongst each other with some shared tenets (followed as necessary) and their internal own cultures.

But that's the same as any organization. In normal business, you're meant to follow the main tenet of "maximize profit", "treat customers well". Businesses follow those tenets as they see fit. There's no reason for every open source project to be cookie cutter.
> If you don't want to use the built-in CI, wiki and issue tracker, then Git is already decentralized. You can push and pull easily from and to multiple sources. Git is already built for that exact use case.

Git is a great protocol. You can pull/push to HTTPS servers, SSH servers, even directories (so via NFS if you so wish). Really, Git is really awesome in that way.

But Git itself is not a "code hosting service" that parent asked for. That requires more. Something like Fossil SCM would probably fit better, or git-ssb as I mentioned in another comment here.
I'm surprised to see Paypal only uses 0.26 TWh/yr (compared to Bitcoin's 200 TWh/yr and Ethereum's 112 TWh/yr) which includes their offices and data centers[1].

I've heard the argument that if you take into account all the human-associated energy costs Bitcoin's energy use compared to a company like Visa would be comparable. Now I'm not so sure.

Notably this 0.26 TWh/yr number doesn't include things like the energy used by each human to drive to and from work or the amount of energy needed to make the food that fed them that year but now we're getting into some anti-human territory.

Perhaps the goal shouldn't be to minimize energy use but to maximize energy output.

Slightly to very worse? Twitter being independent is helpful. Google in social media has privacy concerns.
I don’t have any suggestions about dating in your 40s. But, I will say that finding men that want to become a father in their 40s is going to be hard. We usually already have kids are don’t want them.
The one other piece of “documentation” that I know of is this blog post:

https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2020/05/27/whats...

It mentions that the segment heap is used by default for UWP apps and reduces memory usage of Edge.
A quick look at https://whattomine.com/ shows that several altcoins are within 70% profitability of mining Ethereum.

That math is going to change as the Ethereum miners reconfigure for altcoins and the difficulties change, but the bottom line is that mining will continue as long as some coin is still profitable to mine.

It's not that significant in the grand scheme of things. Even if BTC disappeared, your electricity bill would not be noticeably cheaper.
Thank you. I'll add the edit functionality shortly. I'm glad simple bookmark sharing is something that you like. After building it for just my friend, I see more and more use cases for it. Someone is already using it to share links with their classes.
You don't know, that's fine. You were saying that specific other people don't know either, which is weird.
Agree for sure, and some good notes there! (My comment was merely limited to scope of the averages issue.)

Definitely must read a decent sampling to see if there's a common problem, or it's mostly just malcontents, delivery issues, or misunderstanding the product or instructions, or just random issues. I've found in doing this that I'm usually surprised on the good side.
The red line is at 13.37 percent, so I assume it's a semi-joke.

I think Ethereum is pretty cool, generally, but there are two downsides this post doesn’t address.

The first is that there’s still no date for The Merge beyond “expected to happen in the second half of 2022.”

Secondly, the Ethereum organization can only ask people nicely to stop mining the POW version of the coin. It’s possible that the current version of the Ethereum blockchain will continue to progress, like Ether Classic has, albeit at a greatly reduced value.
