I'm just coming off of a contract and looking for something long or short-term. I've got a fairly broad range of experience, but I'm best suited to full-stack development using technologies like Go, TypeScript, React, PostgreSQL, Rust, Docker, and typical front end technologies.

I'm comfortable fine-tuning client side performance, working in a tight feedback loop with designers in Figma, or building a CLI tool with Rust — my primary focus is always making useful, awesome things that people will love using, regardless of where it's used or how it's built. That's what drives me and keeps me engaged.

Something else I enjoy a lot is supporting a team. With my experience comes a lot of opportunities to mentor, break down learning barriers, and make development better for my team mates. There's nothing better than helping someone plan a confident path forward, unblocking them, or teaching them something new — it multiplies outputs and makes a day so much more rewarding.

Although I have recent experience with embedded systems, that's kind of outlying; I have a fascination with that technology, but the bulk of what I do is on the web. What I'm best at typically happens in a browser. Occasionally I'll take on jobs that'll send me into robotics and embedded systems, but I'm never too far from my core, primary skill sets. I'm also not all that amazing with electronics or embedded programming — mostly just enthusiastic and interested in learning more.

Location: Canada
Remote: 100%
Willing to relocate: No
Technologies: Many, but I'm best with TypeScript, React, and Go these days. Others as the top of my list are Rust, Python, FSM, Postgres

It's actually quite public. The 'raw' doctrinal backing comes from 'Doctrine and Covenants, Section 89': https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/history/topics/wor...

Clarifications as to what the 'hot drinks' section means has come over time, generally being shared during the twice-annual General Conference. The most prominent call came in 1921.

I don't see Twitter going down anytime soon. It has noticeably become much better (though there were some issues initially) feature wise (especially with Twitter Blue). Disappointed with API pricing as it completely destroyed the Indie Hacker community. Maybe this is bound to happen with most services sooner or later as everyone is realizing that data is becoming more important than ever (Reddit/Stack Overflow is now charging for API access too). Won't be surprised if Elon uses Twitter data as base dataset for his new AI venture while restricting others from accessing it for building their own models.
Fair enough not to donate, but just because the developer is from Russia does not mean he supports the Russian government.

PDJ is a browser extension that can help front-end developers easily view the complete dependency relationship of npm packages. It has the following advantages:

1. Improved development efficiency: Quickly understand the complete dependency relationship of npm packages, eliminating the tedious manual search process and improving development efficiency.
2. Display detailed information: Display basic information and dependency relationships of each dependency package, allowing you to have a clearer understanding of the entire dependency tree.
3. Provide convenient way: View the introduction of dependency packages directly in the browser, allowing you to obtain detailed information of npm packages without opening additional pages.
4. Simple and easy to use: Search and install PDJ in Chrome Web Store, just click the PDJ icon to open the page for finding npm packages. If you are browsing a GitHub page, PDJ will directly help you search for the corresponding npm package.

If you are a front-end developer, why not try PDJ? It will help you easily understand the dependency relationship of npm packages and improve your development efficiency.

What's more human than writing, or making art? The sad reality is if AI is as disruptive as some claim and a company follows your advice:

a) The employees will end up doing the menial tasks that AI still can't.

b) Their competitors will either buy them up or drive them out of business by being more ruthless about how they apply automation.

There's no "bottom-up" market solution that will work in the long term here. In my opinion the only thing that can lead to a more equal distribution of resources has to come in the form of more redistributive taxation and more stringent labor laws - i.e. "top down" from the government. Unfortunately, legislators seem to be moving in the opposite direction on some of these fronts. I think more social unrest is inevitable until things are forced to change.
Even if the decision is made by a human, it really matters how that decision is presented. My understanding of the current state of warfare (which could be way off) is that were possible, targets are still largely selected manually based on verified intelligence.

What if we allow AI to propose targets? Even if testing shows that the AI is highly effective at picking "good" targets, that changes the situation entirely.

Suppose humans make the final decision of which target to strike. How much time is given to make that decision? What information is presented to them? If the answer is that humans make a decision in a short amount of time largely relying on an AI-generated confidence score, are humans really making the decision?
This has big "Society getting you down? Just go live in a cave on a mountaintop" energy.

It certainly a choice an individual can make. But it will have about as much societal impact as domestic recycling has on global warming. Especially since we're talking about internet communications technologies here... The alternative to using Discord for most people these days is not corresponding with the people they need to correspond with.
> This just balloons up giants which are too big to fail

This is good. We need to get everything down to a sufficiently small number of big banks so that "too big to fail" also means "so big that even the most ardent small-government anti-regulation leave everything up to the market people in Congress are afraid to deregulate them".
Since this whole argument is untestable wild guessing: maybe there was a future in which Microsoft buying Activision pushed more companies to hedge against a possible MS monopoly by properly supporting Linux, like Valve has been doing for the past years.

>They become zombies and collapse gradually, and then suddenly.

This is true for all companies though. It's arguably happening to Google now, and to Facebook, and, hard as it is to imagine, will happen to Apple some day, even if that day is decades away. GE was an icon of corporate competence in the 80s and is now in parts. Toyota has long seemed invincible but now has to make it through the transition to electric vehicles. Intel, Microsoft, etc.

The hard part is not predicting that a corporation will decline, it's getting the timing right. (Just ask Michael Dell, who in the mid 1990s famously said he'd shut down Apple and sell it for parts if he was in charge. Red Herring magazine kept predicting Amazon's imminent collapse and at least half the people reading this don't even know who that is because they very much died first.)

> The government figures and claims are supporting this opinion. In fact, it's been the government's opinion, not mine. I'm just quoting it.

I believe you but since you're passing this on then you/they must also have more than some words in support. When critical systems would collapse were it not for teenagers being asked to work a job it calls into question both the competence of the leadership to lead and of the people to choose them. There's a reason most countries don't do this beyond basic apprenticeships on limited scale. What happens if this year teenagers start looking more towards the military following events like the war in Ukraine, do those civil services come tumbling down? You and the government make this sound like a country being driven at the edge of collapse.

> You don't need too long training to be qualified to drive an ambulance or perform CPR.

Right? Who could be more qualified to operate a critical emergency vehicle or bring someone back to life than a person who until yesterday wasn't allowed even to vote. What a thing to say...

> The military service is forced nation-wide

Mandatory military conscription is an act of desperation in the face of potential national annihilation. Most countries abolished it and even the ones who kept it start at 18. Is the Austrian civil service conscription an equally desperate move? Or an attempt to raise a "working generation" from as young an age as possible while giving those kids the alternatives "this or the military"?

> and for many it's the camaraderie and opportunity to meet other young people from other parts of the country/city and make life long friends or meet future spouses.

Sure, except literally not because they'd get the very same by going to school or university. They don't need to be forced into a job they don't want because the country will fail otherwise unless it's the only way they'd do it. The only incontestable reason is because it's mandatory, everything else is rationalizing and looking for a silver lining.
The caffeine thing is a long-standing internal debate that arises from:

1. Unclear doctrinal specifics

2. An orthopraxic rather than an orthodoxic culture

The first item is that the only doctrine possibly relating to caffeine is a single verse in modern scripture that says "hot drinks are not for the body or belly". Long-standing teaching by leadership has merely narrowed down "hot drinks" to mean tea and coffee.

The second item is by far more important in the debate: Mormons are _highly_ orthopraxic, meaning that you're usually free to hold heterodox doctrinal beliefs as long as your public life and behavior reflects the common orthopraxy. Or, to put it simply, the public appearance of righteousness is culturally far more important than internal doctrinal beliefs (this is, ironically enough, not technically doctrinal). The same chapter that defines "hot drinks" (coffee/tea) as not good for the belly defines beer ("barley... for mild drinks") as entirely appropriate, but since the orthopraxic behavior is to be seen as avoiding coffee, tea, hard liquor (which is specifically called out in the same scripture) then avoiding anything above and beyond those is often seen as an increased sign of righteousness.

So you'll often have arguments between Mormons who follow the letter of the law and others who follow what they define as the spirit of the law. And since coffee and tea both contain caffeine then many Mormons will avoid caffeine as well.

You'll find this same argument about following just the doctrine defined in the open canon versus following behavioral practices above and beyond it in other aspects of Mormon life, such as: not calling members of the church or the church "Mormon," payment of 10% of monthly income (though the scriptures call for 10% of an annual "increase"), women only wearing at most one set of earrings, no dating for youth below the age of 16, men applying to serve missions the instant their 18th birthday arrives (though the window for honorable service is many years wide), no clapping in meetings, no drums or brass in meetings, and so on for many other cultural practices.

This is, as you can probably recognize from some of the items in that list, in no way a phenomenon isolated to the LDS religion, but it does inform the inevitable debate you'll hear if you ever bring up caffeine in a group of Mormons.
As someone who is seemingly not from a preferred racial demo, I know exactly what this person is talking about.
Ask HN: Why do most fresh CS grads write such awful code?
Is it the same with other engineering disciplines e.g. mechanical, electrical, civil, etc?

Or is it only the CS departments? Most write unmaintainable sphagetti code without any sense of proper data structures and the operations on them. Whenever a new functionality is to be added to their code, their code just crumbles and they have to rewrite everything. I have observed this many times.
Land is still very valuable today, especially if it is a land in the center of a city.

And part of this was unintentional in promoting "paid" checkmark people but the vast majority of those are a certain type of person who want to shout loudly.

> They become zombies and collapse gradually, and then suddenly.

I know people love to crib Hemingway's turn of phrase, but I don't think it makes sense here. Because it's the opposite, right? Sudden first, and then gradual. There's some big catalyst, and what remains afterwards slowly dissipates seemingly interminably towards zero. Even in notable cases like MySpace, which still exists, it's just "gradual" at first and then it's still "gradual" later, too.

I get it, but not very helpful. The premise of making it "uneconomical" for a nation-state to perform mass surveillance is a bit naive; at best we can make it more expensive for our own governments to perform, which is backwards in IMO. We should make it cheap, efficient and easy to get too much garbage data.
>Americans seem willing to pay more to private business and thus actually part with more of their money than they otherwise would, as long as on paper they're not giving the money to 'the government' see i.e. healthcare.

Americans reject public healthcare because your average American has incredibly narrow view of the world, and many people buy lies about public health care in other places.

They simply buy the lie that propagandist are paid to spread that public health care includes 'death panels' or insanely long ER waits, or that you can't pick your doctor (can you now?).

The larger problem is that the government deals with things that are sufficiently complicated that they require dedicated time to understanding them and Americans aren't willing to do that on a scale that impacts government policy.
I was told that the first versions of Hero had grippers that could crush a pencil. (Or a finger.) And that they soon pushed out a "fix" that force-limited the grippers.
Pretty sure his anti-labor stances, erratic and sometimes probably illegal behavior as a business leader (like, you know, tweeting lies that could influence stock prices), and constant over-promising and under-delivering had earned him quite a few haters well before Twitter.

They are conventions between people, about a third party that isn't part of the same system.
