SEEKING WORK | SF Bay Area, CA, US | Remote US

Current tech: Python, JS, Bootstrap, SQL/DB. Past tech: K8s/Helm, Clojure, Java/Maven, JSF, PHP.

I'm a long time freelancer who's taken full time gigs in Big Tech / SV and pretty much settled on freelancing now. I can offer $15/hr for at least the first 90 days with a 30 day rate change notice period.

I feel offering a minimal intro rate helps us learn how we work together in a risk free way and lets clients explore where I can help them unlock value. Ideally I'd like to mentor people to take over manual work at that rate as I automate and do higher impact work at a rate that reflects the value, closer to industry standard.

This seems unconventional but it reflects how in kitchens I can evolve from dish washer to helping with food prep and beyond, as the chef sees fit.

I thrive in R&D roles but can also do DevOps and put out production fires. I've been in the industry for my whole adult life and I don't think I've become entitled/unhumble and rigid as people sometimes imagine older devs. Well worth the $15/hr, not upset to be fired or afraid to fire if it's not working out.

You mean something like the Android runtime (ART) that comes bundled with Android? Moat apps don't make use of native code, and Google has been making the use if native code more difficult with each subsequent Android release.
Yeah it looks like it's got the skeleton of an overhand knot in there. I would not trust it.
Stop a second before you go into RSCs. Whatever you want to achieve ultimately is much easier/quicker/scalable done in real fullstack (or classic web-) frameworks!

Rails/Django/Laravel/… + Turbolinks/Htmx/… or even sprinkle some light clientside JS for fancyness.

Or go best-of-all-worlds if you happen to know Elixir/Phoenix.

But don’t continue the descent into RSCs, now matter how many people tweet about it. These folks with less than 10y industry experience will run into all the basic problems we had in vanilla PHP sites years ago, I even spotted react components with inline-sql-hooks already. This time with much accidental complexity overhead!

Stay sane instead, ship actual products quickly, and earn that lambo!
That was my experience as well, just constant crypto spam and all the other kinds of posts or tags are very inactive.

Additionally, I tried a few clients, they were a bit buggy and far from anything anyone would take seriously for more than a minute. Key portability was broken on them as well for some reason I don't even want to invest my time investigating.

These decentralised solutions need to distance themselves from cryptocurrency (or at least make it in the background rather than the center of discussion and operations) to be taken seriously.

I see Radicle[1] did that by distancing the version control software from the cryptocurrency, and I think it was a good decision.

Social platform that indexes each user based on their belief system. Create a bunch of these cells, explicit echo chambers and watch people radicalize like never before. Reddit but for fascists and only fascists; Reddit but for liberals and only liberals; Reddit for communists and only communists.

Each cell acts as its own social media platform similar to how Mastodon works. The primary differences are:
A. Cells are centralized on the platform, not federated. Makes it easier for users.
B. Cells are dynamic. People can make cells, merge cells, split cells. If 50 percent of people in the R++ cell want to be more racist, they can vote to split and be moved to another cell.
C. Cells are relative i.e. they exist on a map, people can compare their cell to others, any cell that exists is public and can be related to another cell.

Then provide tools for organization and communication, provide tools for policing and enforcing cell dogma, and then provide the tools to allow for fundraising of whatever causes the cell deems just. Add competition between other cells. Allow it to be integrated with other social media. Make it go viral.

Powerful populist movements have been built on solidarity. This is impossible in current social media which fragments political blocs creating detractors of every belief in every comment section. Remove the detractors and you have progress, radicalization. Thoughts?
Where I live, half of drivers are looking down at their cell phones. Barely anyone comes to a complete stop for stop signs or even right turns on red at intersections. No one stops for pedestrians at unmarked crosswalks (legally a requirement here). The majority of drivers exceed posted speed limits some of the time.

What I'm saying is: tons of people commit varying severity traffic infractions all the time. If you think this is something exclusive to cyclists, that is more likely your own confirmation bias. There are a lot more drivers, and a 2-ton vehicle does a lot more damage to other road users than a cyclist, so the ultimate risk/damage to society is virtually entirely from drivers.
To decouple from the object file format, you want it to dump assembly? Assembly output still marks sections, though I suppose limiting to .text and .data gives you nearly lowest-common-denominator sections. For very simple executable layouts that don't have separate sections, I suppose the assembler could ignore all section markings.

Unless your program doesn't take any arguments or inputs, you're still dependent upon ABI specifics for how arguments are passed or how the bootloader passes boot parameters to the program.

In short, it's pretty easy to get 90% of what you're proposing, but it gets very complicated very quickly to rid yourself of nearly every platform dependency, particularly if you're supporting a wide range of platforms from 8-bit MCUs without IP-relative addressing to x86-64 and aarch64 to platforms like DEC Alpha AXP where the firmware is essentially a single-tenant hypervisor (and the OS kernel runs in usermode from a hardware prospective).
Has it been established that these even are licenses? A license provides authorization to do something that one would otherwise be prohibited from doing, but that assumes that copyright (or some sui generis right) covers model weights. Most of the findings/rulings I've seen talked about have been on the topics of inferred outputs and applications mixing them with human-authored elements, not about the model weights themselves.
That man has literally taught millions of people. A hero.
Many studies actually show that smokers are cheaper to care for over their lifetimes, likely because they die earlier. This study[0] shows a +7% for men/+4% for women increase in healthcare costs if all people stopped smoking. I'm too lazy to vet the epistemological quality of this study, but it seems like there are a bunch of these much along the same lines. One thing these studies seem to neglect is total value lost associated with smoking, instead focusing costs alone. By folding in some QALY-like model, you could come up with the overall impact of smoking on society in quantitative terms.

> The perception of police spending most time harassing minorities and exacerbating humanitarian crises? That's a US problem. Literally no one else has it.

France just had weeks of riots because the police shot Nahel Merzouk [1] due to similar dynamics that have been developing in France since at least the Algerian crisis [2]. I don't know if "spending most time" is a fair characterization of French minorities' perception but the antagonistic relationship between police and minorities is far from a US only problem.

No.

(1) I have often gotten jobs in languages I didn't have experience with. I had my Annus Mirablis where I worked at a failing web design shop where I worked on about 70 web sites in a random list of technologies, then went to work for a competitor on GWT and Cold Fusion projects (I am little scared to say that because there was a time that saying that or Sharepoint would get recruiters to jump on me in public) and then got a C# job on the strength of my Java and other experience.

I had some terrible experiences with Python early on and was really skeptical but there was a time as a consultant where the work I could get was data science work in Python so other people paid me to get up to speed with Python and became a fan.

(2) I have had times when I was not so interested in side projects and blogging about them but when I have had picked up side projects at the leading edge of the industry that have had recruiters and others looking for me. Often these projects have had both fashionable and unfashionable elements (interest in knowledge-based AI got work in IR and neural networks, now I am working on content-based recommendation which people just 'haven't gotten' for 20 years but that has gotten me to upgrade my NLP toolbox with LLMs and I think there will be a moment when people get that algorithms in social media are not bad but it is algorithms somebody else controls is bad)
Wow, this is pretty awesome. Does anyone know if there are any languages that implement this?
I touched on this in a cousin comment, but freedom 0 of the GPL states categorically that the user has:

>The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose

Redistributing modified versions of the software it what is regulated under the GPL and other copyleft licences. Even then, the main aim of this restriction is to subvert the system of copyright which works in the opposite way (and unlike copyleft, is not just an academic concern, being constantly wielded by people and companies as a weapon against free speech).
Software engineers shouldn't be, and shouldn't want to be, licensed engineers. Being licensed a pain in the ass, a huge bureaucracy (have fun learning about thousands of ISO standards for trivial stuff for your license) and stifles innovation. We accept certain jobs requiring bureaucratic oversight because the effects of too low standards are unacceptable to us, but repeat with me, "licensing is a necessary evil, not a good in itself". It's ridiculous to demand that every library author or writer of a corporate website be licensed.
I recently rebuilt my PC, and things have changed substantially in recent years.

Where we used to fit all the components from the same side of the case, modern cases have the PSU fitted from the reverse side, allowing the cabling to be concealed yet reasonably easy to access. I believe this was intended to make things pretty for the glass-window enthusiast crowd, but it also makes changing the power supply easier.

There are also substantially fewer components in general. Things like networking and sound have been on the motherboard for decades, of course - but now 5.25-inch drive bays are also gone, with 3.5-inch bays in decline. And of course with M.2 you might not need any other drives.

All of which means there are fewer power cables to plug in than ever before!

Yeah, maybe a little more tactfully, but I would ask that.

As a guess based on what you've said, are there too many seniors? Maybe folks are spending more time (over)designing or making sure they don't look bad in front of the others?
That’s an interesting point about the dependence of likelihood on the outcome.

However, a counter-argument is that if you win a lottery 250 times, it would be reasonable to conclude that the lottery is biased in your favor. If you lost a bet on a coin toss picking tails 250 times in a row, you’d assume the coin is biased.

In that case, every toss with the same outcome informs you of the bias.

So does an outcome really say nothing of the chance for that outcome?

In a similar way, our survival might say that a chance for extinction was sufficiently low each year/month/day/period. The longer we survive, the more confidently we can say that the possibility of survival was high and extinction — low.

Exactly.

Add that there’s no Android or Google Auto for bikes, you usually don’t charge while biking, etc. The people who do need to look up their cycling route typically do it beforehand, so in the end even in cycling-heavy regions there are very few using active navigation.

>exploitation of the mentally handicapped for amusement purposes

Edgy, not criminal.

In the posts you link, you can see Null obviously wants to allow basically anything but is still responsive to legal considerations. Maybe he's right and maybe he's wrong about the law. He responds to legal notices that he considers valid, and this has kept him out of real trouble so far.

I think "borderline criminal" is a fair characterization, but I'd point out that lots of sites are "borderline criminal" in the sense that there are often public statements of "we would like to allow this but legally we cannot." It's not that scandalous.

All it takes is for one criminal to write a one-page guide to using GPG and circulate it to the group ....

I know I mentioned paying a cryptographer earlier, but in reality downloading and using GPG is a crude and effective way of defeating an E2EE backdoor.

Are the GPG devs going to backdoor GPG to satisfy governments ? Probably not.
I don't think that's true for the AGPL? If I publish something under the AGPL, I am saying that you are allowed to run it on your server as long as the users who interact with it are able to download the source code including any modifications you have made.

You need more training data and more sensors and completely different rules that are often opposite the rules for good conditions. The things you really need for snow/ice that are hard for computers are anticipation and flexible rules.
Yeah. Basically PoE forces a common coupling (center-tapped transformer) for both power and data, which really limits not just part availability but also the design space. While the PoDL inductive power coupling and capacitive data coupling interact (and pin capacitance of the inductor can be an issue with really big inductors), they're near-independence really, really opens the design space up.
Entirely on board. I am hoping we can critique concrete issues like these without resorting to guilt by association.
The Janissary were a part of the Ottoman Empire - which was on 'other end' of Europe, geographically. The Janissaries were not eunuchs.

Eunuchs were also an element of society in Ancient Rome. I'm pointing out that it was not considered in previous ages, as it is today. As an example Italians would castrate boys prepped for singing opera - castrati - until the 1800s, it seems.

Is the idealism of a successful society ever not of the elites and the rulers?

I have read somewhere that the monarchs of Al-Andalus often had Visigoth (i.e. Spanish) lineage. Arabic may have been their lingua franca, but their society may have been essentially Spanish in many ways, just not 'Christian Spanish'.

I think that the decline and fall of Al-Andalus may have been mostly a result of internal divisions, conflict and civil war. The Reconquista was however from without, the terror of the Spanish Inquisition was what followed, for the newly conquered.

Of course the SEO argument is always there, but if that's your concern just build a traditional server templated site.
