Hello hiring manager,

I think I'm a good fit for this position due to my proven ability to work with the best modern practices. I'm experienced in Javascript as well as React to build interactive frontend applications.

I enjoy working on complex problems whereby I remotely developed a chrome
extension that is used for auto-connection, auto messaging and auto profile view
using JavaScript.JS, HTM and CSS and Bootstrap for an international company
called pearl lemon working with the company designers.
As a person who enjoys improving my skills, I applied and was admitted to a highly
selected company called Microverse where I completely worked remotely as a
full-stack developer with other developers from over twenty different countries while
simultaneously developing projects with HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, Ruby, Rails,
JavaScript, React, and Redux. This allowed me to develop skills in remote
pair-programming using GitHub, industry-standard git-flow, and daily standups to
communicate and collaborate with senior international remote developers.
During my time at Microverse, I became a mentor of new students where I supported
them both from a technical and an emotional perspective. This was an opportunity to
improve my leadership, coaching and communication skills. I shared what I had
learned with my mentees and provided all the support I could.
I contributed to a Bank Loans system using with Vue.js, CSS, Bootstrap and
HTML working for a company called Project Code.
I remotely contributed to a transport app called Kyaride for a company called Next
Micro Solutions working with React Native, CSS, HTML,Bootstrap and React-Redux
the app works like Ubber.
I’m a highly motivated, result-oriented individual willing to the extra mile to reach
goals and learn along the way. For example, my previous job involved meeting
specific targets on a daily basis, which I managed and sometimes surpassed while
proving the achievements of those goals
I’m excited to work with you and be part of the team and I’m confident that I will have
much impact if I become part of the team and I hope that you will reach out for an
interview or a quick chat. KIndly reach out for more nformation about me via mbabaliiryn@gmail.com or +256758323723.

Looking forward to speaking to you soon.

> Mouse doesn't have an undo button.

Your keyboard does though, as probably does the GUI of your editor in a toolbar or menu item. It isn't like you have to use only the mouse. The mouse was meant to be used together with the keyboard, not as a replacement.
great work! it' such a pity that so much gets put into PDFs still as a medium for textbooks when interactive content is so much better.

I've been working on some integrations along the lines of explorable texts that are backend by compute in jupyter - like this mini one on fourier series https://curvenote.github.io/demo-fourier/ (pres the power button to connect to a binder instance).

There ia notebook behind the scenes, and the idea is to try and move from custom web/js development towards something that a content creator say who is familar with python can use. Also open up the possibility of computing with libraries in the python ecosystem, and with compute needs beyond what we can achieve in the browser.

Still this example is a one off react site, built with JS knowledge.

Working from the other direction I'm also working with folks on a static site generator that can use Markdown(MyST) and Juptyer Notebooks to build book like content, this is a little like JupyterBook but with a JS stack that can integrate the explorable JS based interactivity on the link above.

The idea is again to let people focus on content and have a site generator let them build the deployable book. The cli that does that is open source and in beta at the moment in terms of readiness https://curvenote.com/docs/web but we're excited about what it can do already and busy working on the explorable integrations - looking for feedback and direction too :)

some example of building with it:

- my blog https://www.stevejpurves.com/la-palma-earthquakes
- a book like report https://climasoma.curve.space/
Ask HN: What do you do when vacationing abroad?
I'm currently vacationing/visiting family in central Europe and have a week left. Trouble is, I'm finding myself struggling to come up with things to do to take advantage of this opportunity I have.

I've visited all there is to visit in the country since I've lived here before and I've been sightseeing in most major European countries. I initially thought I'd visit some local tech companies or even try to visit ETH Zurich (that's the closest I'd be to a prestige university), however, the questions that always come up are "how" and "then what?". Do companies and universities even do that?

If I go anywhere I'd like to at least talk to people or get something out of it but I can't imagine how that would happen/work.

In the end it feels like the most productive thing to do is work on my computer but I can do that at home.

What do you normally do?
As I said, I grew up with and actively use Celsius, so I’m unsure why you’re explaining it in a reply to me. I’m also Australian, so your ranges are wildly off for my climate. Summers don’t get started until the 30 C days, and less than 20 C is the heart of winter.

Celsius has many strengths, and is obviously better suited for scientific purposes. Fahrenheit is handy for outdoor temperatures. That doesn’t mean Celsius is useless for those.

These turf wars are weird. A good engineer doesn’t spur different tools, for different tools have different strengths. I can immediately make sense of both systems, and I consider that to my advantage.
For my forum with 500k users a month I just added a registration captcha related to my niche. E.g. for a Dark Souls forum it would say "what game is this forum about?" And if you got it wrong the validation would include "tip it's just two words Drk S*ls". This reduced spam by over 99% and didn't annoy people with recaptcha.

If someone was unable to get past that captcha (it still happens I have logs!) I figured they were probably not that valuable a contributor anyway.

If someone wanted to target my site directly they could but hasn't happened so far.
New sticker packs!
I use a glass bowl for whipping egg whites, because you can't do that in plastic. The microscopic traces of oil that remain in the plastic stop it foaming.

Apparently the best thing to use is a copper bowl that you keep just for that, but I don't make enough things with egg whites to be worth it. It seems that the copper ions coming off the bowl make the egg proteins stick like crazy.
Learning SQL early on in uni. I attended a course where you passed the course if you completed a certain percentage of the home exercises on a web platform. They were just tons and tons of different kinds of SQL pickles against a fake corporation Postgres database, probably more complex than you'd ever need in an average CRUD app project. This was very useful in my first job were I had to make sense of a weird legacy data platform built on top of MSSQL but also later on in basically any project ever involving a relational DB.

Git somes to mind too, where it changed the way I think about how to do the day-to-day writing of my code and that the knowledge is very transferable across all kinds of projects.

Most banking sites log you out very aggressively, and a lot of them require some sort of 2FA during login. It's quite inconvenient to have to do this login dance every time you need to make a transaction -- with an app, you can use a PIN or biometrics to start using it.

For a westerner, it might be hard to imagine constantly living with high temperatures like that. And for example having to sleep everyday with such climate.
You think two professionals will agree on all decisions all the time?
For everything high-performance in some scientific areas (like bioinformatics in the article), all the heavy number crunching isn't done by Python or R, but by underlying C/C++ libraries. And from having seen some of those libraries, my impression is that many are riddled with memory problems (even more so than other C/C++ code due to the FFI boundary to the wrapping language) and could benefit from being written in Rust.

In addition to your points, if you intend to back up your ZFS datasets, it's easier with ZFS encryption to use ZFS commandline tools (zfs send) to ship the whole encrypted dataset over the wire. With LUKS you're shipping the unencrypted dataset instead.

Arch has a good wiki page comparing LUKS vs ZFS native vs a few others: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Data-at-rest_encryption

The underlying goal (in the long follow up message) seems to be the desire to move from mdev (in busybox) to mdevd (not in busybox) so the title is to some degree justified. Although the situation is a complicated and subtle one, as per usual with Linux distributions.
A ~30% spike in used car prices which has been ongoing for a year and is predicted to continue for 2-3 years is bad for people that need a car to commute and can't easily afford to buy another if and when theirs breaks down.

Maybe you're right and this is a fraction of a percentage of the population. I'd be surprised but am open to seeing stats on it.

I think this is an interesting and valid criticism, but his framing feels a bit dishonest to me. He gives 2 examples of articles in The Guardian a year apart, both of which don't cite sources and use quotes without citing their origin. I agree these are bad practices and rubbish articles.

But then he makes this conclusion which he admits he can't prove:

> And while it’s pretty much impossible to figure out what percent of articles these criticisms don’t apply to (perhaps by tracking, say, the pieces of investigative journalism that these outlets break), there is simply no way that the copypasta approach isn’t the majority, perhaps 95% or more in some places.

Most of the article before this, which is called "How prestige outlets..." has been about these outlets he describes as "the supposedly most prestigious organizations". Well, just The Guardian, but that's how he's describing them.

But I don't think he's actually claiming that 95% or more of their output is this copypasta stuff. Because right before this he's introduced a bunch of outlets that nobody would argue are prestigious, that wrote about a paper he published. IFSL, Gizmodo, iHeartRadio. He wouldn't argue that they're in the same category that he places The Guardian. He's probably right that some of the ones he named are basically all copypasta!

But it feels like there's an unearned conclusion that this is widespread in the outlets he describes as prestigious, when actually he's just given 2 examples a year apart. If he hadn't named any of those other outlets, that nobody would argue are prestigious, he never could have justified extrapolating like that from what he's presented.

I've been using ZFS native encryption since it was beta (~2017 I think), and it's nothing short of awesome. It's amazingly convenient and easy to use, and it integrates wonderfully with the rest of the filesystem - in comparison, Btrfs on top of LUKS feels very clunky and cumbersome.

I don't think I'd use it on cold storage though, I like using it on systems I daily drive, such as workstations and laptops, where I feel sacrificing convenience is not worth it, and where I don't want to lose the option to not be able to select what's encrypted and what's not (for instance, I don't want or need for all of my VMs ZVOLs to be encrypted). With ZFS you can pick what gets encrypted, and with what key, without having to fumble around with loopback devices and other strange machinery.

In my experience it is very reliable, I didn't really feel any performance degradation after moving my system on top of encrypted datasets on any of my systems. I also happen to have to use every once in a while a system installed on an external USB-C SSD (with Arch+ZFS), and it works very well without any performance hiccup even with encryption on.

The only time I had to fumble with the dataset was when encryption still wasn't stable and I had to rsync everything to newer format datasets - something around 2018 I guess? Still, it was a pretty straightforward experience. I never had any other issue with encryption after it got moved to stable (3 years ago I think?), daily driving several (personal and work) systems.

On my cold storage, such as drives I backup my stuff onto, I still use LUKS + XFS/ext4/ZFS because it's tested and solid though - I don't really feel that moving disks I often keep offline to ZFS native encryption would help at all. I honestly worry more about them being misplaced or lost, than convenience.
This is one of the reasons why Github is so superior and why it has no real competition. They understand the community and cost which that brings to them. Their product is about communities, not about hosting code. Also, it's much easier to discover other communities (or code) on Github. On Gitlab you host your code and that's it. Story ends, no discovery, no engagement, nothing.

It is great platform for managing internal projects for sure, lot of great tooling (CI/CD, package registry, etc.) but it always seemed absurd to me to build an open source community on Gitlab. It's not build for that.
Everyday I discover something new on Github. On Gitlab, even when I find something I'm kind of sceptical and I never used anything anyone posted on Gitlab.

Probably the same scale, although you can understand that in several ways. In any case, they clearly use the American typology, conflating the liberal-conservative axis with left-right. So it's next to impossible to tease out how left or right a publication is on more traditional markers, such as economic policy, in particular, but also labour issues, ideological orientation (e.g. Marxist/Social Democrat/Third Way/Social Liberal, or an even more mixed crowd on the right) etc.

We're certainly heading towards a scenario where internet abuse (due to poor regulation against it, IMHO, it's digital pollution) becomes enough of a nuisance to require increasingly intrusive verification.

Though we can all work against that by securing our own systems and preventing them from being abused. Used or unused domains should have a strict SPF policy, website registration (or newsletter signup forms) should have captchas, comments should have captchas. Wordpress or other CMS's plugins should be up-to-date and so on and on. Work on requiring 3DS everywhere, everything in-depth.

That way malicious actors would be limited to the services they pay for and that makes their life significantly harder.

I used "captcha" to simplify mCaptcha's application, calling it a captcha is much simpler to say than calling it a PoW-powered rate limiter :D

That said, yes it doesn't do spambot form-abuse detection. Bypassing captchas like hCaptcha and reCAPTCHA with computer vision is difficult but its is stupid easy to do it with services offered by CAPTCHA farms(employ humans to solve captchas; available via API calls), which are sometimes cheaper than what reCAPTCHA charges.

So IMHO, reCAPTCHA and hCaptcha are only making it difficult for visitors to access web services without hurting bots/spammers in any reasonable way.

Probably the latter, but a pointless and biased (in one direction or the other) statement regardless.
> and is obviously better suited for scientific purposes

Celsius and Fahrenheit are equally arbitrary / bad for scientific purposes, Kelvin is the only scale that makes sense since it's zeroed at absolute zero. Celsius is only marginally better than Fahrenheit in that you mostly deal with temperature increments rather than absolute values and celsius increments are the same as kelvin increments

The thing is, they release just enough information for people to eventually remake their models. Someone with no scruples will make a uncensored version eventually and then their work will have had the effect they claim to want to avoid anyway, but at least it won't reflect back on them.
