Email: robin.macharg@gmail.com

I'm an experienced developer with around 40 years total experience. I've accidentally specialised in iOS for the last 11 years but have a dig-deep-and-learn-what-you-need mentality (and curiosity) so I've got pretty good at:

- Web "stuff": I can reason about CSS behaviour, craft intelligent selectors, dig into raw HTTP, write well-structured (and typed!) Typescript, and choose a framework that gets the job done.

- Backend: My first job was as an SGI sysadmin, back in the day and I’m as happy on the command-line as in an IDE. I progressed from there via Perl webdev to Python WSGI, picking up a few databases along the way. Comfortable with ORMs and good enough at SQL to explain it to my kids.

- CAD: I've contributed to open source CAD software and can write Python for desktop (Qt), backend, or for Blender.

- Networking: I've set up an inhouse spin-up/spin-down configurable linux cluster using Vagrant, to test TCP routing algorithms/detection.

- VBA: I embedded a 3D aero wing profile viewer into Excel. And then got Excel to generate a PowerPoint slideshow that represented the data, with a pop up windowing system to dig deeper. It felt like brain surgery at the time, but was merely a little higher-order VBA dabbling. Might still be in use at Airbus.

- Graphics: I've dabbled in Photoshop and Sketch plugins (iOS 3x export and vector spur gear generation, respectively)

- Hardware: I've done a couple of embedded projects on the side, with rPI/Pygame and DirectorMX in the mix. Happy with a soldering iron, and have a love of LEGO pneumatic circuits.

I work fast, roll my sleeves up, love a square-peg-round-hole challenge, and am a flexible specialising generalist that will put heart and soul into anything I commit to. I'm always looking to learn (React/Redux this year!) and improve whatever I'm a part of, from process, through development, to the customer journey, bringing professional experience, and hopefully some humour, along the way.

I'd happily consider short-term contracts (they can be fun!), or a permanent role. Still looking for the job I'll retire from, but I remain hopeful!
The irony being that it would have massively benefitted from a huge range of ML tools, be it the crusty audio or the atrocious pacing. But I mean... same deal as every day, pop-luddites squeezing their audiences for subscribers (another bout of irony because they accuse "AI" to do the same, somehow). It's still fascinating and good to see that we get some lengthy essays about this, I can't wait for us to discuss how well it's aged in one or two years or so.

Hi, I'm Regina and I'll soon defend my PhD in astrophysics, where I used deep learning and big data to connect physical processes of galaxies with their resolved structures in spatio-spectral data. Tired of the "metaworld", I'm now looking for a data scientist job.
You can appeal many times. And there are multiple judges listening to a case.

And we also need to get rid of elected judges.

The developed world do just fine wuthout a jury system.
(Somewhat ITish company in Germany, 250 employees) - I had to fight hard to get the company to buy seven 4K monitors (total of 2800€) and now those seats are always booked lol. At least my colleagues are a bit more productive I guess... the other desks have 1080p monitors and look terrible when connected with a Mac.
We all know that Microsoft was always an example of... fair competition.
People don't want to test this out, given that the job market is difficult at the moment. It does hint at the real, unstated reason for all this which is to try to get the headcount down. They are massively overstaffed and losing money on nonsense like the metaverse.

I'm wondering if there are Meta employees on remote work contracts. The contract at the company I work for specifies that I work remotely, and no one can change that without offering me some quid pro quo (which of course I would never take).
The judges are evidently the problem here. They control the evidence the jury sees, and can give the jury instructions -- and, moreover, are now the ones blocking judicial review.

Judges are no better than juries of one. Worse, for consider what type of person becomes a judge.

...You must become a lawyer. But note the fact that judges earn 10-20x less than top-decile lawyers at an equal stage in their careers. The best lawyers can actually make 100x. (About $20M/year.)

...So you're either a failed lawyer who absolutely can't cut it in private practice, or the type of twisted personality who values status and power over your fellow man FAR more than you value money. Most of the time, the latter; in some cases you are a "covert politician" who wants to legislate from the bench.

Given the financial and status incentives, it's an extremely strange person who becomes a judge. I'd trust a jury, whatever its composition, before I trust an American judge to fairly determine my fate.
> The country’s highest court issued its denial on Monday morning giving no explanation

> he has already exhausted appeals through Texas state courts and must now rely on the mercy of the Republican governor Greg Abbott

This is not what a justice system looks like. This is a step up from "justice" under feudal systems, but the gaping holes like this make it a small step. Even though it "works" sometimes (often?), the "worst case scenario" is so bad that the entire system must be measured by it.

None of us are in this man's shoes through absolutely no action taken on our part (beyond not having kids for those of us that don't).

As his lawyer says, this is a nightmare situation, but that's the reality of the USA "justice" system.

I agree that this is an example of State violence exercised arbitrarily over the individual but I don't attribute agency to the State here, I think it's more mundane in this case. This to me is more a symptom of the overall degradation humans in the USA and reflective of decreasing respect for human life in that country, and in general the modern world.

IMO it's worth considering why this kind of blatant injustice, and similar ones, hasn't led to more outcry. To me that's an alarm bell that the majority of people have successfully been cowed, and more dramatic restrictions on our human rights are to come (we can see various governments and bureaucracies fighting an unending war against our technological freedoms).
There's no undo button for 21 of your best years in prison either. You can compensate -- $20m for example, which is a "partial" undo, but it doesn't undo the harm caused.

Tell HN: Publisher refuses to pay me based on nationality
I am an author of a book that has low, but steady sales and giving me some royalties each quarter.

Packt Publishing refuses to pay me royalties based on my nationality. I am Russian by nationality, but I live and work outside of Russia. When I have asked them to update me on payment schedule since I have not received anything starting from 2022, company representatives asked for my passport copy over email. I have sent them my residence card along with my passport copy. After that, they replied the following:

> Please note your passport is showing nationality as Russian.

> We cannot make any payments on your account till further notice from management.

After this message, they have ceased all communication with me and do not reply to any messages I send.

Since Packt is based in London, is this even legal? A quick search shows the following: The Equality Act 2010 makes it illegal to discriminate anyone because of age, gender reassignment, marital status, being pregnant or on maternity leave, disability, race (which includes colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin), religion or belief, and sex or sexual orientation.

> Houses are historically lousy investments.

Yes, but land is an historically safe investment. However very often in well-developed areas, it is difficult to acquire one without the other.
> It's crazy to me that so much of the American "justice" relies on juries where they are free to ignore any scientific evidence and just vote the way that seems right to them.

That's a feature of the system. If we had perfect information and judgement we wouldn't even need courts in the first place. It's also the case that the law itself can be unjust, should it be blindly applied, or is it good that the jury can declare someone not guilty anyways?

> At the end it's a matter of which side can build a more passionate argument to sway the juries

Right. So it's interesting that the prosecution gets a regular plus a "rebuttal" closing argument that the defense never gets. It's interesting the way courtrooms are laid out. It's interesting that the state in many circumstances cannot supply exculpatory testimony on your behalf, even if they have it.

My point being, there are so many more worthy things to consider before presuming juries themselves are the problem. Those who have made these arrangements are happy that you see it this way, though.

> rather than what evidence is actually presented and its rational meaning.

Do you have some evidence that this occurred in this case? We are examining it more than 20 years after the fact. At the time the jury thought it had the best explanation, and it might have even been "common knowledge." I certainly remember the "shaken baby" period in the zeitgeist of the time.

> So yeah of course the American judicial system is not willing to review past convictions based on scientific discoveries

Quite the contrary. His first execution was halted and he was granted review under a Texas law commonly called the "junk science law." He quite literally got this exact review.

All that being said capital punishment is amoral and especially irreconcilable with all the above facts. In no sense am I defending it, just our system of jury trials.
"Anyone who joins the project knows exactly who they are signing up to help."

I'm not so sure of that. The Neohaskell site seems designed to attract the naive. If someone isn't already using Haskell, how can they know what they are getting into with Neohaskell? Someone like Gabriella can see the substance (or lack of it) behind the claims, but to a non-Haskeller, there is nothing to go by except the sales pitch. Not good.

Did you just gender the paperclip?
Hot-desking is awful. I was going to say it's the worst of both worlds, but it's actually even worse than that. You're not around your teammates, you can't "move in" to your desk, and you have to commute. Honestly, what is the point? Either give me my own desk or let me WFH.

Not everyone runs Linux, and not every browser has a reader mode. This should not be the solution. There should definitely be an option to disable all these features, especially the dark mode toggle, that one's a fun premise, but horrific for usability.
Often they arrange things so the kernel is re-exploited from userland during the boot process, or shortly thereafter. Some tricks that I recall being used: adding a new launch daemon; signing an app with a developer certificate; and dropping a binary that abuses quirks in the dynamic linker to evade signature checks.
Much harder to justify on the expenses claims report :-)

Of course tech workers are working class. You either give your labour for a living or you invest capital in businesses, and almost every tech worker is doing the former.

> our jobs do not destroy our bodies

I've got news for you there.
Would you say the same about graph databases? (e.g., Neo4j, ArangoDB, Neptune)
Well, "all" except the ones that shouted "but this is unrelated crypto".

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Working class as in "people who work"? Since tech workers are comfortably in the middle class when it comes to income level.

Anyway, for most people, compensation and income level are really good, which is why unionization isn't as much a thing for tech workers. This is also because there's a lot of disparity, with some earning $35K / year and others $350K / year for basically the same job; unionization and successful agreements would mean the $35K / year would go up, but the $350K / year would go down by a lot and wouldn't want to cooperate. And that's just salary, then there's stocks, stock options, bonuses, perks, etc to consider.

I'm not saying tech workers shouldn't unionize, all I'm saying is that the incentives are low. Because if you don't want to work under the conditons that e.g. Meta offers, you can vote with your feet and work somewhere else, pretty much anywhere and anything you want.

You left out (c) cases were rising exponentially, so even if doctors could have handled X number of patients, they would become overwhelmed a few days later when that turned into 2X. Virtually no one in the population had immunity to SARS-CoV-2, so the only way to stop the exponential rise was a dramatic reduction in face-to-face contact between people. That could occur through spontaneous change in public behavior (e.g., everyone avoiding public places as much as possible, or everyone wearing then-unavailable N95 masks in public), from public policy ("lockdowns"), or from both. But continuing on as normal would have led to hospitals being overwhelmed, no matter how efficiently they were run and how skillfully they treated the patients.

To your point (a), old-age homes should have been much better protected, but it's virtually impossible to shield them off when the virus is raging outside. The most effective way to protect the elderly would be to reduce transmission of the virus in society as a whole.

To your point (b), that's what happens in a pandemic. There's a completely new disease, and doctors don't know how to treat it effectively. Everyone is trying to do what they can, based on experience with treating other diseases. You can't base public health policy around a belief that doctors will instantly know the correct way of treating a pandemic disease. You have to take dramatic measures to reduce transmission in a situation like New York faced in early 2020.
It is exactly as clear as it makes it look. He was convicted virtually entirely on junk science, because that testimony from his ex, if you even believe it, only slightly modifies the prior probability that he is capable of committing the crime it doesn't much change the fact that the child pretty clearly died of illness. It certainly doesn't without the fallacious forensic fantasy establish that he or anyone abused the child to death.

If you don't have evidence a crime exists its pretty meaningless to speak to someone's motivation to commit it.

Go has 25 keywords, C has 32; it's an easier language. Even without the garbage collection, Go's memory management is easier and safer (memory is automatically zeroed, no pointer arithmetic). Go's toolchain is portable and straightforward.

TL;DR it keeps having advantages over C even if you takeaway GC and goroutines.

What is "vector search over object storage?" Does deeplake performs some computations on objects and search on their embeddings?
It sounds like you want the semantic average, or, in other words, a centroid in semantic vector space. The approach I've used to do this in the past is Word2Vec, which excels at handling individual words. Word2Vec isn't going to be able to give you what you want per se but should give you somewhere to start in your search.

Incidentally this is the kind of thing LLMs are very good at. Have you tried just plugging them into ChatGPT/Bard?

Interesting, I don't fully understand the goals.

I have certainly encountered issues where Go is hiding the platform from me and this is very annoying. This was only ever a real problem on Windows though, the "virtual platform" that Go provides is generally fine for Linux IMO. Is this mainly about non-Linux platforms? (Which would be perfectly reasonable, BTW. Linux is not the only platform )

Meanwhile, I can see why someone would be interested in no-GC. But this seems orthogonal to the goal of "adapting to the platform" - am I missing something there?

And on the no-go routines thing, what's the motivation for wanting that? Does their presence in the language have some related impact on it? Or is it just that you don't think they're useful and dropping them lets you focus on the other stuff?
The alternatives never had an opportunity, given that free beer OS with source code (C), only implementatation available (JavaScript), only language available on cheap ISP hosting without additional infrastructure costs (PHP), closed the door to them.
