Résumé/CV: http://botz.org/cv.pdf

I’ve had a nearly 20 year career, as an IT manager first and as an SRE /
DevOps engineer later, with a period of practicing permaculture in the
jungle in Brazil in between. I would enjoy working as a contributing
engineer at a smaller company, or coordinating DevOps and reliability
engineering at a larger company as a manager. In either case it should
be company I can believe in, one that will have a positive impact on the
world.
This isn't about code but about architecture. It's generally true that if you architect the system well then the code will be relatively easy to write, but it helps to know how to code when you go architect.

Health and recovery/avoidance of illnesses is DIRECTLY related to physical fitness. This isn't even debatable. You're just making excuses for not needing to be physically fit.

Longevity is a silly game to play but on average physically fit people have more longevity as well. The people you're mentioning are genetic outliers. It's more about being able to actually do things late into life.

There's no connection between eating "little meat" and living longer, this is pure propaganda.
I don't think he took it away at all.
I have seen on my feed a picture of Hitler with a sympathetic quote from an account called "Racial Consciousness" with a blue check mark. I could not even imagine seeing that before Elon took over. So for me, yes, there are definitely white supremacists increasingly dominating my feed.
Hopefully engines make the game more fun for humans. >_-
Let’s put it another way. Just because I can buy a product doesn’t mean I have bought a product. That theoretical purchase is purely speculative and hasn’t happened yet and can’t count for market share. If you want it your way, though, then I’d expect that you insist every prime subscriber should be included in the count of Luna MAU as well. Your same logic applies.

I have both prime and game pass ultimate and use neither bc honestly cloud gaming sucks, even with google fiber.
Do you mean Gimp?
I don't think that's so relevant. Did Git suffer from the same problem?
Compared to what? The only realistic alternative here is mailing cash, which is arguably more inconvenient.
The solution could also be to require banks to be more cautious, which was actually the case before 2018. But the US political system rolled back precautions that were put in place in the aftermath of the 2008 crisis.
Ah yes... the dystopian sci-fi argument without merit.

I could do that, but I smoked cigarettes for 7 years and then vaped for 9 years. So I don't know if I could jump back into nicotine but hold off on the smoking/vaping aspect of it.
Because most CS degrees are about computer science, not software development (or since you compare with engineering degrees, software engineering), and thus students aren't taught the latter (or only are if they pick certain classes).

Same way a physicist specializing in electro-dynamics can't be expected to be a pro at designing PCBs for your electronic device.
How has it become better? AFAIK the number of genuine interactions on site has significantly decreased with platform exodus. The model of being recommended things that people for a checkmark to hope to show you is also definitely orthogonal to how social network interactions foster.
Some new buildings use an HRV system which circulates fresh air in while recovering some of the heat of the exhaust air.

So maybe instead of outlawing exchanges we should have more legitimate exchanges? Also could you please describe a better way to protect your savings from printing money by governments?
> So eventually you get agents that have self-preservation and reproductive instincts.

I'm not sure that's a given. Artificial Intelligence as it currently exists, doesn't have any volition. AI doesn't have desire or fear, the way natural biological intelligence does. So you may be able to build a directive for self-preservation or reproduction into an artificial intelligence, but there's no particular reason to expect that these instincts will develop sui generis of their own accord.

I don't want to say that those concerns are unwarranted. The premise of the science fiction novel "Avogadro Corp" is that someone programs a self-preservation directive into an AI pretty much by accident. But I'm less concerned that AI will wage war on humans because it's malevolent, and much more concerned that humans will leverage AI to wage war on other humans.

That is, the most pressing concern isn't a malevolent AI will free itself from human bondage. Rather it's humans will use AI to oppress other humans. This is the danger we should be on the lookout for in the near term. Where "near term" isn't a decade away, but today.
If they had any sense of humor they would put an "ironic" meme right at the top of their post.
It's like everyone commenting here just found out about this site and didn't scroll down at all. Sure, this post is little venty, but the rest seem quite level headed. Even the second post ever in November only says Twitter might break based on the first post where much of the company was fired.

Is that money worth the credibility they lost? The blue check used to be a status symbol, now accounts are putting out statements making it clear that they never paid for it.
I’m just responding to your theory that republicans don’t have an “authentic desire” to reduce agency funding—even if you assume they have some hidden political motive that’s different from what they say, what possible reason do they have for not wanting to cut agency funding?

You did say agencies were ineffective, because republicans had made them ineffective. I’m asking you to offer a theory of how that could be the case. Their budgets are undiminished, and they’re run by democrats who believe in the agencies’ missions.
Nothing about the Nostr protocol struck me as particularly interesting. Spam control, moderation and anonymity are not really dealt with. Why the hype?

Could be, but for me it's not worth the discomfort.
I think part of the problem is that the rules are just kinda... stupid? There is absolutely no reason why regular alkaline batteries can't end up in household garbage. They don't contain heavy metals or anything else that'd make them dangerous.

The rules are basically like this because the regulators figured you're too dumb to know which types of batteries are bad for the environment (lead-acid, the now-obsolete Ni-Cd, less significantly NiMH). And sure, better-tailored rules would confuse some folks, but I bet that compliance would be higher for the really bad stuff.
My reading is that the author had a moment of self awareness and realised maintaining a barely-trafficked site essentially powered by their own bitterness was not a healthy or satisfying pastime.
The reality is even sadder, it seems a lot of people on the left hate Elon because lots of other people on the left hate Elon.

A kind of mimetic hatred

SkyGeo | Scientific Software Developer | Delft, Netherlands or REMOTE | Full Time | https://skygeo.com/

We are a young and dynamic data-driven company with the goal to measure the world. We use advanced satellite technology, InSAR, to detect the slightest movements of the earth’s surface anywhere in the world. Our in-house technologies are used across various industries from mining to civil engineering to give customers ways to monitor, alert and quantify their assets.

While we are not a start-up anymore and fully fund ourselves we still value creative problem-solving, flat hierarchies, and everybody having a voice to build the best global monitoring product possible.

Our primary language of choice is Python. Being a geospatial company, we use tools such as Rasterio, Pyproj, GeoPandas, and PyGEOS. We process large amounts of data, which means we have to be very deliberate about performance and scalability. This means we do vectorized operations using Numpy, compile with Numba where possible, and utilize lazy evaluation solutions, such as Dask provides.

Since we are dealing with complex data, a (geo-)scientific background is a plus. As a Scientific Software Developer at Skygeo, you will be operating on the interface between mathematics, geo-data analytics, and programming.

We are looking for both mid-level and senior engineers to help grow and maintain our scientific software toolchain.

If you have deployed apps to the cloud, have worked with large data sets, and value to conceptualize and build features for a growing product in a small team we would like to hear from you.

Our team is somewhat distributed around Europe, while we value office time in our HQ in Delft (where around 50% of our dev team lives), we are also open to remote work or hybrid if you can overlap with the rest of the team at core hours of 13:00 - 17:00 CET. We also meet up in Delft every quarter for a week or two to work together and explore the dutch cuisine.

It was an example, stop getting bogged down in Argentina and look at Uruguay if you have an issue with their stats.
"But that's not what you're saying, you're saying "without privatised land, farming cannot occur", which is a trivially false assertion."

The world's land is privatized. What ought to be has no relevance.

Farming is asset-driven for that reason.

I'm not debating what could be; only what is.
You’ve just connected the hypothetical question to the current behavior in play on the global scale. USD is still technically the worlds reserve currency, meant to be the base unit of all petroleum transactions. Countries have been motivated to keep USD on hand for decades for that reason.

In 2009 and 2021, the USD’s “board and leadership” has shown it’s willing to massively inflate its existing liabilities to help it solve its severe problems.

It’s very questionable why any country with large trade surpluses would want to hold US treasuries at this point. That’s precisely why China has brokered energy deals denominated in RMB, and BRICS is exploring a basket of their currencies to act as a new reserve.
how does your entire post square with it being "noticeably better"? Everything you describe is worse than before.
It helps that the mormon faith is fairly harmless as far as religions go. Aside from maybe polygamy and abuse cases, there are few explicit conflicts of interests. The LDS church runs hedge funds and have a somewhat less extreme political orientation than e.g. southern baptists or Scientologists . Most Mormons actually practice the family values they preach, unlike say evangelicals.

Solar Monkey | Principal Frontend Engineer | REMOTE or Onsite | The Netherlands - The Hague | Full-time | https://jobs.solarmonkey.nl?utm_campaign=2023-05-Senior-Fron...

At Solar Monkey (https://solarmonkey.io/), our goal is to enable solar to be the world’s leading power supply, and we accomplish that with software that makes solar power systems more affordable, secure and reliable. We do so in a very open and warm environment, where everybody can have his or her say on company values, structure, and policies.

We are well funded and expanding, and currently looking for a full time Frontend Developer who is keen to mentor/coach people and take the lead in (re)architecting the app.

Our front end is written in React & Redux, so hopefully, that excites you! However, our application isn’t too straightforward. It includes an advanced solar panel editor, built with HTML5 Canvas and overlayed on a Leaflet map that shows high-resolution aerial photographs. We even correct for view angle distortions in those photos!

Interested? Here’s the job link: https://jobs.solarmonkey.nl/o/principal-frontend-engineer?ut...
But the concept itself (of recreation process) and its ephemerality could be art, couldn’t it?
dunno how Velleman kits might stack up in terms of educational value.
Japanese Twitter feels like manifestation of nation-level social dysfunction

It's popular here because people don't feel able to express themselves to others outside of such an online platform. That and prostitution

Elon wants to export this dystopia to the rest of the world... I joke, I doubt he has any clue about anything beyond the user counts.
>something not much different from human intelligence, just faster, and in silicon.

I fail to find a perspective under which I find these differences as "not much".

For the speed, think of a spinning top. Or lion and and its prey.

As for the fact that slicium chips are nothing like DNA carrier, it's also make a source of fundamental difference in behavior.
I think Digg did, but overall you're right.
Retrocomputing continues to increase in popularity. In addition to the Heatkit, you might be interested in kits from RC2014, SmartyKit, Ben Eater, Foenix C256, etc. There’s many more that are based around an RPi or microcontroller if you’re less concerned about authenticity.
FediFetcher for Mastodon
Yeah, I don't have this either. I suspect it's the new sense of "white supremacist" (something like "people who are at all critical of left-wing identity politics") rather than anyone who discernibly professes a belief in the superiority of the "white race".

> I'm not a fan of Elon but these people that made their entire personality trying to demonstrate how Twitter is dead

Yeah, when he laid off a bunch of engineering, lots of people (including Grady Booch, one of the guys behind UML) were insisting that Twitter was going to fall apart, pointing to every single bug as proof of their prophesy (despite that Twitter has always been plagued with bugs--fail whale, anyone?--and many other successful social media platforms thrive as businesses despite far more frequent, egregious bugs). Of course, this isn't an endorsement of Musk in any way, but it will be read as such because we're not allowed to have nuanced opinions on the Internet.
Yes, vouching gets shadow disabled if you go against the abusive hive mind that is condoned here.

What is HyperLogLog and how to build yours in Rust
HyperLogLog is a probabilistic algorithm that allows for a highly accurate "estimation" of the number of distinct elements in a dataset. In this post, we'll see how HLL works and implement it in Rust.
I do, and so do most people who have been approached by some FAANG company
> "Thirty years ago, Tim Berners-Lee and CERN gave the world a gift..."

The only reason the decision seems important now, is if you think the internet could of never been developed without the all-powerful minds of "Tim Berners-Lee and CERN"...

As computers got faster an nations and companies wanted to communicate between computers. It seems inevitable that the only way to communicate with computers is was a decentralised open and free network...

If it wasn't CERN, someone else would have built the internet...
> My Photoshop install from a previous life is a major reason I still keep a 15-year-old Mac running.

I've debated setting up an offline "creative corner" machine with a comfy older OS and Photoshop, something like Snow Leopard and Photoshop CS1/CS2, precisely because the core of what makes PS useful for me hasn't changed in ages. For my use case the new features added in versions since simply aren't worth the bloat and slowness that's come with them.
Those technologies aren't examples of formats succeeding purely on their merits, so much as being established safe paths through a legal minefield.
> The concept of "owning" an animal always seemed a bit weird to me. Especially for wild animals. The animal in question doesn't know about this relationship.

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

What's so weird about it? In 100% of ownership relationships that do not involve human slaves, the thing being owned doesn't know about the relationship.

My car dosn't know I own it.

The bag of flour doesn't know the grocer owns it.

The field doesn't know the farmer owns it.

The farmer's cow doesn't know the farmer owns it.

The trees in private forest don't know the forest's owner owns them.

etc.
This is just redefining life to include something we can’t interact with or even understand, but that defeats the purpose of the definition as understood by the public understanding such research funding.

The goal is to answer: “is there relatable life that has any change of interacting with the human mind somewhere in the nearby speck of our seemingly-infinite universe” this get’s phrased as “is there life out there” in common parlance.
I was just mentioning this, because I had a personal email certificate back then (when this became an integrated option with the built-in Netscape Navigator email client and the like), and this was a rather convoluted process and it took about a week. And, as I remember it, there were just a few options and the process was different for each. Which may explain the "poor UI": this was something you really had to want and you had to jump through a few hoops to achieve this, the entire process wasn't exactly user friendly, and there wasn't even a standard process or standard requirements.

So how could you point someone at a link, “you have not registered yet, go here”? You'd probably include an entire paragraph explaining what was required and link to several CA sites in order to obtain a valid certificate.
Really?

Tech was predominantly white (as was the US) in the 70s, by the 90s Asians and Indians were over represented.

I'll submit this is prima facie evidence that tech was (and is to some degree) highly meritocratic, and more so than any other large portion of the economy.
What would be the developer edition of this?

Good developers thrive on ?
Author of damus[1] here. We’ve seen a crazy growth in nostr in the past couple of months. Damus itself sees about 1000 to 10,000 download per week, and we’re up to about 500k to 1mil+ users (hard to get exact numbers on a decentralized network). Exciting times for social networking protocols!

Chess apps having analysis baked in is a huge win for learning. I go through the analysis of every game I play now and make sure I find the moves I lost, it's improved my game greatly.

Letting your warm air go directly outside also has a cost.

Getting poor air quality for decades also has a cost.
