Hello! I'm Jordan, a senior engineer/software consultant/fCTO with over 20 years of experience in full-stack web and hybrid mobile app development. I take pride in writing clean code, refactoring, writing tests, and ensuring that everything runs smoothly in the CI environment.

Throughout my career, I have established and enforced coding standards across projects, and I've provided valuable feedback and mentoring to the developers I've managed.

As a trained Agile Scrum Master, I can seamlessly integrate into Agile team environments and contribute effectively from day one. Whether it's launching green field projects or revamping large codebases with minimal understanding, I am adaptable and driven to succeed.

Being a US/Canadian Dual Citizen, I am currently living in Boise, ID, but I am open to remote opportunities. My expertise makes me an ideal candidate for a Software Developer or Team Lead role. If you would like to know more about my qualifications, feel free to reach out to me. I look forward to connecting with you!
>I think Japan has done a better job than most countries at preserving the economic viability of arts and crafts, deliberately via protectionism and accidentally via cultural elements.

This is probably the secret sauce. I'm only a neophyte Japanophile, but respect for masters of crafts seems a big part of their culture[0]. But experts can't make a living off vague cultural values. So the Japanese government, in their fervent desire to preserve their ethnic and national identity, pours a lot of money and attention on craftsmen associated with their cultural heritage[1]. And now the cultural values are important, because Japanese voters have a more positive view of this spending than citizens of other countries might.

[0]Yes, all cultures respect experts. But what matters is how much respect relative to other figures. For example, in the United States, business leaders enjoy more respect than master craftsmen.

Anti-trust laws generally make it illegal to leverage a dominant position in one market (which google has in search) to favor your business in another market.
I wish someone came up with a better UI than the toggle. Usually, I understand what it means, but I often find toggles where it isn't clear what the state of the toggle is. Right vs left, color vs no color, just isn't obvious to me. A visible check in a box is crystal clear.
Loll - I guess now the question is at what price? :)
There's first order effects like the state of municipal plumbing, and then there's second and third order effects like how widespread lead poisoning will lead to increases in crime a decade or two later.

The quality of the society we live in and overall crime levels are a collective concern IMO, and something like this is a great example of a way to adjust that.
I think something similar happened to my sd card at a hackathon years ago.

We couldn’t change the data on it. Linux would report that data was written to it, but when we unmounted and remounted it, the data was unchanged.

That just means plumbers aren't connected enough. There's a lot of pork to be had in re-laying an entire city's water infrastructure.
But FF mobile has ublock.
One of those brilliant ideas that seems obvious in retrospect.

Given that the results are so compelling even when pulled together by hand out of relatively primitive discrete components, I’m wondering why we shouldn’t expect to see full color, high resolution versions from every random 7-letter drop shipper on Amazon next Christmas?
> Following the rule's adoption, chemical engineer Abigail Cantor started testing the water after it was treated with phosphate that authorities recommended they use to prevent lead from leaching into water. But what she found was shocking.

> "[I] found that the lead increased four times over the untreated water using the highest recommended phosphate product," Cantor says.

> This says a lot more about the state of the frontend ecosystem than it does about the OpenAI dev team. The complexity has gotten absurdly out of control.

That’s a peculiar way to spin it.. not sure how doesn’t that justify poor UX though (what does this even have to do with python)

> but it's slow development and disconnected

It’s as slow and disconnected as they want it to be
I'm scrolling through this thread to find some reputable companies and I don't think I've seen any
One incremental step at a time. It took ~50 years from their discovery before transistors could be mass produced.
Do they have noise cancelling? There was a thread a while back about people blaming active noise cancelling as a possible cause.
I use Teams fairly regularly in Firefox on Linux. Everything seems to work completely fine, with the exception of 1-on-1 calls. You can't send them, you can't receive them, and you can't even see when someone is calling you until the missed notification pops up. I have no idea why group calls work fine but those don't, but that's how it is.
And WiFi nowadays has regularly changed Mac addresses, so identification is limited (provided you don't use a WiFi with hidden SSID).
I don't understand this article at all. Is it some kind of discovery that gas that exists somewhere can be attracted to a supermassive black hole, or a body with mass of any type? I don't see the relevance to that the gas was once ejected by the black hole; it's well known that mass attracts.

Also:

> Supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies have long been known to emit enormous amounts of energy. This causes the surrounding gas to heat up and flow far away from the center. This, in turn, makes the black hole less active and lets cool gas, in theory, flow back.

This is a very strange way to word that the immense friction in the accretion disks of black holes creates immense heat and light, is it not? As far as I know, the actual energy black holes emit in the form of hawking radiation is rather very minute and undetectably low with current censors.

I've been able to do it my whole life, chatgpt tells me it's this:

Hearing a crackling sound when you flex your ears is quite common. This noise typically results from the movement of small muscles around your ear, particularly the tensor tympani muscle in your middle ear. These muscles contract to dampen certain sounds, like chewing, but can also be voluntarily or involuntarily activated when you move your ears. This action can cause a vibration or movement of the eardrum, leading to the crackling sound. It's usually harmless, but if you experience pain, discomfort, or any other symptoms, it's advisable to consult a healthcare professional.
This. There is no need to purchase data, and also maybe a loophole legally when there is no need for a warrant when the traffic is passing through.
And the lack of accessibility. You generally couldn't even copy and paste text out of it.
As a mostly backend guy that's the case most of the time for me.

I never really got my head around the correct way to think in CSS.

I am at the "I can see numerous ways of doing this" but I never really know the standard or best way to do it. It was the same when I started doing web dev / Django stuff, whereas now, with years of experience, I do know the best way to approach a problem, to keep code minimal and clean and readable.

(If anyone can suggest some tutorials that get me past that stag with CSS I would grateful).
Other way around. This would indicate cold water has more lead.
A Glimpse of the Heart
Venture Capital's Race for AI Supremacy in 2023 Explained
Yesterday on my X timeline there was a woman explaining how her daughter's teacher had told the kids that 1/0=0.

The woman wrote to the teacher to explain that no, this is incorrect. The teacher got so mad she looped in the principal who sided with the teacher.

Parents, teach your kids that even teachers make mistake and can be petty :) and also, that you can't divide by zero...
I can absolutely see this. But to share a different perspective since “instantly vs. submit” doesn’t make sense in some of my software that’s constantly applying input changes on change:

I use a switch to toggle one specific thing, checkboxes to pick zero, one, or many related things.

Eg: switch: “slow mode is active for robots in this zone.” Checkboxes: “this applies to robot types A, C, D.”
World Bank to boost climate financing share to 45%
For what it's worth, here's my case:

I have tinnitus, a 4khz tone on both ears, one more than the other.
I have hearing loss at high frequencies (the curve of my hearing tests drops abruptively right around 4khz). The side with the worst hearing is also the one with worse tinnitus.
My loss probably comes from many many ear infections as a child (plus hearing to loud music on a basement, and just bad genetics).

Things that make my tinnitus worse:

- Basically, any kind of "hearing effort" stresses me out and makes my tinnitus worse (busy places, bars, parties, etc. are the worse, but even music on my headsets, which I enjoy, make it worse). Maybe this puts some doubts on the "phantom limb" theory?

- Stress

- Not sleeping well

- After doing exercise. I play sports, run and lift light weights. After any of these exercises, it gets a bit worse

- Driving a car: the humming noise of car drive is probably the worse for me

- If I clinch my jaws (mimicking a strong bite) I hear another, surprisingly similar tone... However, I feel like it's a different thing, not related.

I wished I had a similar list of things that lessen it... I don't :-)
However: I started using prescription hearing aids. And although they don't really help with tinnitus directly, I do feel much better: general noise doesn't bother me as much, and of course I hear better :-).

Recommendation: if you have some hearing loss, don't wait to use a hearing aid, just like you don't wait to wear glasses. They are expensive, but worth it. And no, they are not just simple "earbuds".

Confession: I play the drums, although very occasionally. I have no proof but I'm sure I had hearing loss way before I started playing. Playing my drums of course makes my tinnitus worse: probably due to the combination of the sound + "exercise".
Europe was only slightly ahead there. Europe has far more lead pipes in use today than America. Of course use is spotty, some cities lead pipes are everywhere, some don't have much. However Europe needs to clean themselves up not laugh at the US.
2-3 years ago in a support role I would get requests about domains masked cloudflare pointing to someone’s site. So the other domain would show the content of the other site and be masked by cloudflare. Dumping all the $server variables would pinpoint better where it was coming from and it could be blocked.
Nvidia Laptops Have Changed So Much [video]
Perhaps. Or perhaps hot water picks up more leas from copper pipe solder out whatever downstream.

That’s why this is a really dumb testing method considering a good one (just testing at the faucet) would have been as easy to do.
Brave mobile and Vivaldi mobile have it built in. Hell, Vivaldi even has its super useful two layer tab bar available on Android.

Firefox mobile's plugin support doesn't make up for it missing other basic usability features.

Similarly, Vivaldi mobile doesn't allow custom search engines, so Brave is the only one with the minimum feature set I need (tab grouping, vertical tab bar or two layer tab bar, ad block, custom search engine, android tablet UI), and since I want to be able to sync between all my devices, I use Brave on everything.

Hi Alexander,

Thank you for doing this. I work in cybersecurity for state government. Last year I got divorced. Between rent, food, childcare, and meager wages I barely have enough money for food. What I need help with is my car. My rear window broke last week and its due for inspection and registration. I can't afford new tires either. I have a 4 year old and made sure he had toys for Christmas so I've got that covered. I volunteer a lot and try to do my best for my community but I am struggling and can't do anything about the car until maybe spring. God bless you all
A toggle works fine if it's not treated as boolean, due to the exact problem you mention. What fixes it for me is having the meaning spelled out on both sides of the toggle, e.g. like this:

dark (o ) light

I fully agree on the “this is a dangerous claim” statement. To Tesla’s credit, the video does test more than just the tommygun including a Glock 9mm 115gr ~1100fps which seems to be a pretty popular round. What I think is dangerous is that claims are being made that already have formal testing standards, such as https://nij.ojp.gov/specification-nij-ballistic-protection-l.... The Cybertruck should not get to claim “bulletproof” to try to put itself in the same category as the hardened luxury vehicles designed to the standards.

Mozilla's first-party marketplace has version history. Click "See all versions" in the left sidebar.

Maybe...just maybe...the economy is doing quite well? And people are optimistic about their future? And the news media, led by FOX, is trolling Americans, trying to get them to believe the economy is doing poorly and thus prove that Bidenomics is not working? In almost every poll, Americans have said the same thing: "The Economy is terrible, but I'm doing juuuust fine." We are witnessing the effect of the full strength of social and broadcast media gaslighting the American people, and it is a terrific (meaning great, not good) thing to see.
I loved writing java apps with this IDE. These days are long gone and I'm happily using .Net instead.
Why are people converting PDF to Markdown? I get the impression that it is a thing currently in the LLM / ML world. But shouldn't we be converting to an unambiguously machine readable format like JSON, and then separately writing JSON to md formatters?
You should always reach out to use Digital Ocean, Linode, Vultr as your starting point. Aws and the gang are mega mega expensive compared to what you pay for a vps. If you require services beyond compute, database and storage, then use the big names. Otherwise save yourself headache with complexity, unpredictable and absurd costs.

Please don't use AWS especially as a startup, you are going to kill yourself paying for compute, database and egress that is multiples times what you get from a vps. AWs is NOT cheap
> This won't guarantee answers, however. It does mean the NSA will either need to satisfy Wyden's request, or Congress will need to hold a procedural vote to push through the confirmation.

So, the most probable outcome is that this will delay the process for a few weeks at most until congress just pushes it through. At least it shines a bit light on the whole charade. Not that it makes much of a difference for me, since I'm not an US citizen, but imho the easiest and best solution would be to stop private companies from gobbling up and selling private data. But that would mean going against companies and we can't have that now, can we?

Sure, maybe if it accomplishes exactly the same. That’s why I disable JavaScript on most news sites. But in the real world most web apps simply can’t accomplish the same without JavaScript, which is why we use JavaScript.

Indeed. People who don't do these kinds of activity wildly overestimate their physical capabilities.

Part of the reason for this, I think, is that Hollywood and TV depicts ludicrous levels of acrobatic and athletic capability as the norm; apparently normal people in movies are depicted catching falling people one-handed, outrunning explosions, and so on.

Climbing, even at an enthusiastic amateur level, is much harder than non-climbers believe, and I think your suggestion that readers try top-roping a 5.9/5.10 to get some idea of even beginning climbing difficulty is an excellent idea.

I cannot even imagine the level of dedication and expertise it takes to do this sort of feat.
"Limited interactivity" is misleading. It allows much broader interactivity than you think, and arguably most sites and apps would work just fine in this context.
The "fun" thing about this sentence is about the same number of people will vehemently agree with it as it is and if you swap "left" and "right".

Doesn't the requirement of "building your own networking stack" outcompete with "just colocate"?

I would assume that the skills required for building your own network ist just as high as hosting your own hardware. But I don't have any data point, so just a wild guess.
Complete nonsense. My uninformed guess is that they aren't buying from some political crony, so the crony's friend in the congress or senate (Ron Wyden probably) is rattling some cages.
What about oidc and authn+z on their own? ;)

In general, good advice.

... But the trade-off is lack of control, and that can be a problem. The author notes, but I think under emphasizes, that the color picker, for example, has no standard on how it should be implemented and so browsers are free to choose. The Safari color picker, in particular, is so bad that color picking is the one thing I recommend people absolutely roll a custom widget for, unfortunately.

And, in general, if you go this approach you are trading off needing to care and feed for your own widget solution with needing at least a passing understanding of how the browser-implemented widget will operate in every browser that your team will choose to support actively. And the implementation spec for browser widgets is far more open-ended then the constraints placed upon a JavaScript implemented widget with assets you have created from scratch.
