Hi, I’m Cameron. I’ve been programming for my own projects for 12 years, and professionally for four. I’m comfortable and experienced in teaching myself whatever I need to solve the problem in front of me, and a polyglot who’s tinkered with Python, Lua and a little Haskell and Racket in addition to the languages I’ve used professionally.

I previously worked as a backend developer for two and a half years on Bedful, a SaaS booking management system for campsites, and then for about six months as a full-stack developer at Hipcamp (Airbnb for camping) after that company was acquired.

I'm looking for an IC position working broadly on the backend, somewhere with interesting problems to solve and a culture that values potential and growth. Prefer working remotely and have experience collaborating across timezones from California to Canberra, but am open to hybrid with an office in London as well for the right opportunity.

Also open to freelance and contract work.

I am a software developer currently working in the telco industry, but I am eager to explore new opportunities and expand my horizons. Although my primary interests are in network programming and game development, I am open to other challenges if they give me an opportunity to grow and develop myself as a programmer. My interests are diverse, as showcased by my portfolio of personal projects, which can be found at https://theshoemaker.de/projects.

While I have enjoyed my time in telco and learned a lot, I am now seeking a role that allows me to focus more on the technical aspects of design and building systems. I am eager to work in an environment where I can collaborate with and learn from a team of highly skilled and motivated professionals, ideally working on a product that directly improves people's lives or brings them joy, instead of simply increasing shareholder value.
I did this, and it gave a performance of self correction, but it didn't actually demonstrate an understanding of what it did wrong:

I said:

How are the students supposed to compile their C programs before week 12?

It said:

You make a good point. Students would need to be able to compile their C programs before week 12. In fact, compiling C programs should be introduced earlier in the course, ideally in the first few weeks along with the introduction to C.

Which, again, makes sense at face value, but the schedule does cover building C programs in the first few weeks. The problem is that it shouldn't be covering it again in week 12.

The response I was hoping for was

You make a good point. We introduced compiling C programs in week 4, so doing this topic again in week 12 is redundant. Instead we can cover a different topic that fits nicely, which would be....

You know what ChatGPT reminds me of? Talking to an undergraduate who always nods and agrees that they are following your logic. Then when you ask them to tell you their understanding, it's either an exact parrot of what you said, or wildly off due to some preconceived notion or general lack of understanding of the topic. Either way, they can never let on that they are clueless.

Hi HN!

I'm an experienced Full Stack developer specialized in back-end, cloud, prototyping (Node, PostgreSQL, AWS, Docker, K8s, etc.), I'm also interested in React/NextJS/Front-end.

I spent the past year in a role that I'd consider something between a technical product manager and product engineer. Solving problems in both spaces forced me to develop some new skills, however although I'm open both to product and engineering roles I would like to retain a strong technical context.

Throughout my career I have worked remotely with large and small teams and companies.

I have also worked with non-technical founders, helping them develop MVP applications to start-up their business.

I am immediately available for full/part time contracts - although ideally I'm looking for full-time roles.

Cheers!
Interesting. Where I am they signs are blinky traffic lights above and below the large “school zone 20 mph” sign. However the school is often a massive property and the actual drop zone is probably 100s of yards from road traffic. It’s in case of a kid crossing the street but as I mentioned no pedestrians exist. It’s common to have school zones in all direction of school property for a quarter mile radius. Some places where a school is next to a highway, the school zone extends onto the highway. No pedestrian much less a kid is on the highway (the school zone law just isn’t detailed enough to specify what to do in this situation).

In the drop off lines, the teachers assist to keep the cars moving so you really shouldn’t start unloading early and let them walk. I think it would be good as you mentioned but would be against the factory line they’ve created. I think they tried that in decades past but resolved on this as parents complained it was too slow to wait. Where I live it’s very car dependent and people really do want to drop their kid off at front door and get off to their day asap above all else.

you can easily still use external etcd if you really need to.

But in general k3s can be HA without issue and scaled just as well as vanilla k8s.
The main advantage of it is that everything comes neatly packed into a single binary whereas the alternative would mean to have a multitude of services running for cluster provisioning.

Kubernetes in the end is basically an API server with multiple componets and k3s puts a nice bow around all of them.
Where have you see FSD routinely causing accidents?
A lot of libraries depend on numpy directly. Unless polars is a drop in replacement (which I could be wrong but it doesn't seem like it is) then ultimately there's no avoiding pandas in many cases.

In this analogy, Tesla is BlackBerry, right? BlackBerry was one of the first usable smartphones, developed a huge market share by doing their own quirky thing, then a bunch of new upstarts (Apple, Samsung, etc.) come onto the scene and eat BlackBerry's lunch by actually building what customers want.

It is really hard to recommend getting a Leaf in 2023, at least in the US, unless you _only_ plan to charge at home. The Leaf still uses the Chademo plug, (I believe it's the last car sold in the US that does so) where as CCS is becoming the standard here. The Chevy Bolt is otherwise a similar car for a similar price.

This is clearly intended to supplement, not replace, the ship's existing power source.

You would fold these down rather than trying to ride out a swell with them up. They go out of they way to clarify how easily these can be furled and unfurled.
I assume those excess deaths would've come because of the failure of health system and its inability to aid curable cases of Covid
I second that. People working in small scale down-to-earth charities often needs practical immediate help.

My experience offering help to big organizations can't be worse. First was a long time ago, I was unemployed and pennyless. Some NGO appeared on tv asking for volunteers to go to Africa for some humanitarian project. I called. "Sorry, we need no more people (after an hour on air saying they desperately needed many), can you instead donate some money?"

Second time, I offered free consulting after a similar request. They rebounded me between some employees, then silence.
I use an M1 Mini with 8GB at home, M1 MBP with 32GB at work. I experience pinwheels all the time at home, hardly ever at work.

Maybe I'm an extreme case, typically running all the time: phpStorm, Dropbox, Chrome, Firefox, Excel, Terminal, TextMate, WhatsApp, Messages, Calendar, MS RDP Client, Mail, Notes, Reminders.

Also kind of a trip, I installed Stats at home to troubleshoot bottlenecks. Just noticed I didn't install it at work.
What’s even better is an infotainment system old enough that it has the standard double DIN interface, so you can trivially swap in a brand new CarPlay unit.
The software? I haven't even thought about it as much till you asked this question. But the Taycan and the Ionic are both a better car at this stage than a Tesla.
HEALTH IS CONNECTED TO THE ECONOMY.

- when people die, the economy tends to suffer
- if people suffer from serious long-term post-viral fatigue, the economy suffers
- if the health service implodes because it is completely saturated and cannot service demand, (you guessed it) the economy suffers

People, don't pretend that "the economy" and "health" are separate factors.

Oh also

> Considering Covid wasn’t a risk to most of us

Even if this is true (i.e. even assuming that though you're unlikely to die from it you're unlikely to suffer any adverse effects) then there's still a problem: if all the hospital capacity is taken up because there are suddenly twice as many patients owing to COVID if you have a non-COVID problem (e.g. fall down an escalator and need surgery) then you're in trouble because there's nobody there to treat you!!!

Might be over-pressure due to the bursting open of the fuel.
Sure, but they only fulfil that purpose if they sell loads. Just it existing does nothing for manufacturer's averages. They need to sell one of these for every 200g CO2/km car to average 100g CO2/km overall.
I received an m1 Mac with 8gb of RAM for work and it’s practically unusable. About 2gb of the RAM is sucked by the GPU and system. I can keep one WebStorm window open but if I launch docker and run a service, the laptop goes into swap mode and the whole thing becomes extremely laggy.

Needless to say I use my own computer instead.

I'm currently a staff researcher at Penn. I was trying to get a PhD but failed to secure offers, so I'm moving to industry. Historically I've been the sole data scientist and technologist on all projects, and as such have had to learn and become proficient in every step of the data science and analysis pipeline. I'm quick to learn, and I love learning how to use new tools, understanding their philosophy and what they're good for (or not good for!) I generally follow the "Data Science at the Command Line" approach to my work, and I like to build web systems for sharing my work from the lower level (d3.js over full-fat systems like observable, tableau, etc).
Longhorn ( https://longhorn.io/ ) has been stable for a long time now and is also a could native foundation project =)

You can start with a single storage node without replication and easily go from there to triple replicated storage
But it used to be better: it was able to follow closer to the car in front--which is really important when you are in stop-and-go 3mph traffic on the highway--and it was supposedly able to see under the car in front of you (reflecting off the highway) to track the car ahead of them <- a friend of mine who's entire family is super into Tesla has all cars with the radar sensors, and when I was driving her around she was commenting about how many dumb decisions the newer Model 3 I have been renting was making, seemingly because of this. She was not happy about it when she heard Tesla started deactivating radar in old cars.

But yeah: the feature minimally seems to work well enough--...even surprisingly well!--given the lack of having the sensors that Tesla previously swore were amazing, and so in some sense that particular cost cutting measure was a success. I was even thinking of buying one to own... but then they removed the parking sensors, and frankly that feature only barely works WITH the sensors--I drive a ton of random cars as I am always renting stuff, and the Tesla's parking radius feature is a cool UX but has tons of slop and has massively high latency... it is frankly just super dumb--and I cancelled my order when it finally arrived a week after it was for sure I wouldn't have the sensors.

Regardless, though, even if you feel it works perfectly, radar was another situation of just hastily scrapping stuff and working on it in the field, as they removed the sensor before they had the software which was tolerable, and then they just kept promising people it was going to get better as they frantically tried to turn their marketing into reality. Over time it got better and after a long time it finally started to work at higher speeds, but for a long time it had a cap lower than the in-practice speed of even my nearby highways here in the United States, and still hasn't managed to regain all of the functionality of the prior design. Can you imagine Apple removing a sensor in a new iPhone without already having the software to replace it, and then just promising new customers they'll figure it out in the hope it doesn't affect sales?
Most people have a gas can. or 6. Most people don't have battery storage for electricity.
This doesn’t really match my experience of trying to get GPT to do all my daily software work. I don’t think I would have succeeded at all were it not for my ability to debug its output, which of course is the result of my model of the reality of the computing system and years of debugging my own and others code. So if I lacked that experience, I don’t think it would that valuable.

On the other hand, I did get it to make a nice story arc for JoJo in the style of a Shakespearean comedy.

My son and his friends have been getting it to write manga about themselves but in novel genre crossing stories. Like a normally happy magic genre where the main character lacks powers and dies.

So no more transformative than really good entertainment. Fun but not going to reduce income inequality or stop the sea from rising.
On my 2019 Model 3, the sensors could not detect the curb in front of the car even when it was tall enough to hit the bumper cover. So there's definitely room for improvement there. That's pretty implementation-specific, of course, some cars can do it.

I'd just like functional top-down 360 camera view like a bargain basement Nissan Rogue has. My eyes can detect the curb.
>>Also, they've just got to ease up at some point right?

Nope. There is absolutely nothing (other than whatever good judgement they might have) that would prevent them from flying the entire craft straight into the ground.

Agree that the problem for Jack Ma was he was becoming a threat to CCP power. He may have been able to pull it off and make a new countervailing power, but he spoke up too soon and CCP/Xi figured out the threat and took action. Maybe another player will be smart enough to stay below the radar for much longer, but it'll be years if not decades

It's utterly amazing to me that a single person, Volker Wertich, designed the game and programmed all of it in raw Assembly (more or less in a year). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Settlers_(1993_video_game)...
But it makes no sense. Why parking sensors? Why not find a cheaper supplier for upholstery or remove any of the completely unnecessary and barely noticeable non-functional elements of what's still a luxury brand? Surely ultrasound ranging sensors are dirt cheap, and the reaction of the press 100% predictable, so it should've been obvious to any bean counter that this is a self-harming move.

Windows 11 is very good, so good in fact I couldn't even state one fault with it. No issues in heavy daily usage whatsoever.
I'm no windows fanboy, but it's a decent work/play OS. I've tried a few times to get used to Mac's, but found a lot of things very confusing - how to really close apps to save up some memory, the window close/minimize buttons are in the wrong corner, icons are (were?) a weird flat/3D combination.

But as it has always been on the U.S.-dominated English-speaking Internet and media, facts and objectiveness do not matter when it comes to any topic related to China.
