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'm both not blind and sure that fiber optics (and solar panels and trees) don't much care.
VoidPup may also pique your interest. It's a puppy linux build using void packages & the xbps package manager.

I normally use fatdog64 (slackware'ish, but built from scratch), but I gave VoidPup a spin, and quite liked it.

BTW, comes in 32 & 64 bit versions, so your use case would be covered.
This is only looking at the problem from one side. If there's a crisis and you're not treating it as one, you are committing two sins. Not only are you wrong, but you're wasting time more valuable than your own.

On the flip side, if you're treating something as a crisis when the person trying to help knows there isn't one, you're putting undue pressure and stress on someone and hurting both parties in the process.

The fundamental problem is inconsistent and inaccurate assessments of the situation. People are attached to their mindset and are often too stubborn to re-evaluate. The solution presented only shows concessions on one side. I'd add that if someone else thinks a situation is dire and you don't, you should try to understand their perspective better rather than immediately considering them rude and dismissing their concerns.
San Fran could be turned around in a few years if they cracked down on crime, especially low level crime, homelessness, and revamped zoning laws and regulations to be advantageous to builders instead of NIMBYs.
One of my favorite youtube channels. Not sure why you are getting downvoted. Apparently there must be a bunch of haters of goldfish with Bronx accents on HN.
Not "constrained" really, but every pound you put up in the air costs fuel. Making the plane lighter immediately saves money.

I feel like the Quest could be very light if they took the Apple approach and moved the battery and computer to a pocket box. Even before any of these headsets existed I imagined most of them being that way.
“Could be ready as soon as next year.”

Lol definitely unintentional. Originally I was going to go with “employee of corporation” but that wasn’t quite right.
Most customers aren't served by lasers, their data goes up to the satellite and down to the nearest gateway. Lasers serve customers out of range of a downlink gateway, and the traffic probably travels the minimum hops needed to get to one.
Aren't Apple's emoji made from vectors? They seem to scale well. Is SVG missing the features to do as well?
that's an interesting theory but nearly impossible to prove, thus safe from scrutiny?
Many influential commenters have discovered that sniping at Elon Musk is more consistently successful at garnering upvotes than genuine insight
The fact that it is a quote (which I didn't know) moves it out of the extremely disturbing category and into the extremely cringe & very disappointing category.

good company
Definitely agree—Discord bots got me into JavaScript! (For better or worse, lol.)

To anyone who wants to build and host a hobby bot, I've had a good experience with using fly.io to host mine. They don't charge you for any monthly billing periods whose total cost would be less than five dollars (USD), so for small projects that would never get close to meeting that threshold, it's free ninety nine. Hard to beat that!
I feel like you're complaining about a problem which you helped create.

So, with all due respect, do your part to fix it. For example, by allowing review comments on commit messages in GitHub. Gerrit gets this right, FWIW.
He’s been at it for a while. He was a guest on this kind of buried 2021 episode of Talk Python to Me.

https://talkpython.fm/episodes/show/327/little-automation-to...

IIRC, he had not started using source code management at the time. When he says this, the other guests describe why he might want to start using git.
Yeah and a thinly veiled one at that, reused the same phrase as the Died Suddenly documentary that covered the blood clot autopsies.

Lots of studies and news articles now coming out how common sudden death from cardio problems are, strange timing.
If too many people hammer away at live support channels with automated tools, hold times will become very long and businesses will add captchas. Using automation on a synchronous communication channel implies that you think the recipient’s time is less valuable than your own.
Harvard also has owned 1/6 of Allston since the 1920’s. People act like additional 1/6 they bought 1990-2016 made huge changes to neighborhood housing prices, but Allston was gentrifying regardless. CSX was moving out, which inevitably was going to lead to Houghton shutting down their rail yard. New Balance was growing right on Allston’s doorstep. That’s what brought Boston Landing and 10-15 minute rides downtown, not Harvard.

But overall, the biggest driver of gentrification was the campaign by Eva Webster to treat half of Brighton like it is the Back Bay. You can’t replace your windows, much less build new housing, due to https://www.boston.gov/historic-district/aberdeen-architectu... . That’s what caps the growth of housing and drives prices up.
> However the data will presumably show a much higher accident rate at home, because I also do things like cook, clean, and move goods.

Part of my premise is that a place you're forbidden from doing dangerous things is safe. I'm sure it's more dangerous to operate a chop saw on a plane, but you're not allowed to do that either. That's part of what makes it safe to be there ;) You're not allowed to do anything dangerous up there and neither is anyone around you. You're also screened on the way in for dangerous goods, and your ID is verified, and that of your fellow passengers.

> Related, I bet cleaning and moving things have a fairly high accident rate on airplanes, but the accidents happen on the ground to employees so won't show up in the data.

Sure, I meant as a passenger, not as a ramper or cleaner.

Nobody would ever entertain the mRNA vaccines as a cause hypothesis. That would amount to immediate career suicide. We live in late-ussr times now, embrace the suck and try not to think too much about such things.

In short: because laws were written to allow or require it in certain circumstances (combination of age and alleged crime).

It's very unclear whether it's the doping that's predominantly responsible for the increase in mortality, or whether it's the constant bulk/diet cycles, or the intentional and sometimes extreme dehydration, the volume of food and protein, or some other lifestyle-related factors.

There have been a number of longitudinal studies focused on steroids in particular, and they failed to produce really meaningful evidence of steroid mortality. One study in particular looked at East German Olympic athletes, many of whom were the witting or unwitting subjects of a state-sponsored steroid program, and found that as a population, they actually lived longer than their West German Olympic counterparts, in relation to their national population. (Table 2)

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7739809/

That said, the bodybuilders may be abusing steroids to such a degree that it's causing the excess mortality.

It's a very interesting subject, I read this study about it recently:

> Current laws require telemarketers to have explicit consent from consumers before they can make automated calls using "an artificial or prerecorded" voice. Rosenworcel believes the same rules should apply for AI-generated robo-calls too.

I'm confused by this part. How is AI not already included the current law of "artificial or prerecorded"?
No matter how much you dope, you will hit the limit of genetics. There's a reason most strongmen come from Scandinavia.
From the site:

> Mind Matters is operated by the non-profit Walter Bradley Center for Natural and Artificial Intelligence at Discovery Institute in Seattle.

> The Center is directed by Dr. Robert J. Marks, a Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Baylor University. Dr. Marks hosts the Mind Matters podcast, while the written part of the Mind Matters site is edited by science journalist Denyse O’Leary.

O'Leary has written several apologist books for intelligent design, most notably By Design or by Chance, as well as articles for William Dembski's blog Uncommon Descent. Dembski is a proponent of "intelligent design" who was at one time a part-time post-doctoral researcher for Dr. Robert J. Marks. Dembski also set up the Polanyi Center, an "intelligent design" thinktank.

The Discovery institute pushes pseudoscientific "Intelligent Design" with its "Teach the Controversy" campaign.
The huge size of the network is itself a risk. Kessler syndrome is something everyone is currently trying to avoid, but if you wanted to intentionally induce it you could just start launching giant payloads of tiny ball bearings into their orbits, or take down enough of them that the shrapnel becomes equivalent to that anyway. Starlink is low enough that the debris from even a full Kessler syndrome cascade will deorbit very rapidly, but we're still talking a 3-5 year timeframe, not months, and trying to rebuild capacity in that period will just worsen + extend the problem.
Have you given up on suing Facebook? I find it pretty hard to not associate the term Meta with Facebook these days.

Ask HN: AI Solutions for Open Records Requests and Legal Processes
I am currently facing a challenge in obtaining documentation through an open records request from the State Attorney General for a human resources investigation. I have reached a point where I likely need a lawyer to lay out a case for the records. I would prefer to obtain the human resources investigation via open records rather than having to resort to legal action.

Has anyone come across AI legal services that can aid in drafting and submitting open records requests or dealing with legal processes? I'm exploring the possibility of leveraging AI to assist in navigating bureaucratic hurdles. I was slightly inspired by everybody's favorite lawyer Michael Cohen: https://www.npr.org/2023/12/30/1222273745/michael-cohen-ai-fake-legal-cases.

I am not interested in using this for malicious intentions. However, speaking very generally, I'm guessing that battling with open requests should follow a general template.

Moreover, if there are lawyers out there interested in collaborating on an AI lawyer-based application, I am open to discussing side projects. Creating a tool that can streamline and enhance the legal process, especially in dealing with bureaucratic resistance, could be a valuable endeavor.

That's amazing. I've never seen that before in a paper of this quality. Or, any paper at all.
For the same reason we investigate plane crashes, to fucking know what really happened. What is a death certificate without an autopsy is just a scratch on the surface. Sometimes we need to go deeper.

interesting.. what about the content of the article itself?
I wish more people knew/appreciated the incrementalism of progress.

A huge amount of constant "boring" percent-point improvement work or price-shifts are required to unlock the interesting changes, and often the people and companies associated with those new discoveries and ways of doing things are not really the first at all, but rather the lucky or the ruthless.
If you've paid any attention to the lyrics from the past 12 or 14 Weezer albums you'd not be surprised that he's quite adept at Markov chains.
Unless I'm reading it wrong, the TCPA does not define or allow the FCC to define a crime. It's purely a civil action. So the headline is misleading.
Curious how you think it is laughable hypocrisy. Everything you mentioned might give you an “edge” but anabolic steroids give you more than an edge, they give you hormones your body doesn’t produce on its own.
Basically it's cool but it ain't $249 dollars cool
Where's "here"? As far as I can tell, yours is the only mention of MIDI in these comments. Arguing against MIDI is a total strawman.
Realize that reflexive responses here constitute aspirations to acquire the resources of others.
As the author of the first blog post, I think you got my conclusion wrong because I'm writing a language without such UB. So I would like to have a better language.

But I was also talking about UB in the context of already existing code! My argument is that compiler writers are breaking existing code when they could very well avoid breaking it.

We have tried to convince compiler writers to not do this, but they have refused. So that's why I said that users must do something: because compiler writers won't.

And yes, I knew compilers would take every advantage that they could before that; my surprise was that someone considered UB's sole purpose to be for the benefit of compiler writers at the expense of everyone else, including non-programmers who suffer catastrophic consequences for security bugs.
The controversy is whether that's an accurate description of what he did.
100% agree, that’s why MongoDB is so popular despite awful result of Jepsen
There's no need to downvote that I see.

What does need a note is that the author of your quote does not practice science.

Denyse O'Leary is a staunch intelligent design apologist who literally believes in and promotes supernatural explainations for evolution.

Such is her right, but some self awareness would go a long way here.

…you stay in a calorie deficit while consuming sufficient protein. You need a lot of protein to pull it off. This isn’t news. You can learn this anywhere online.

Bodybuilders explicitly do this to achieve low body fat percentages. I know. I have low body fat. I did exactly this. For most men, getting below ~14% body fat and into single digits requires you to do it. I’ve found that it’s nearly effortless in your 20s and requires actual calculations in your 30s and above.

The NIH has papers on this, bodybuilding.com has calculators for it…

There’s probably redundancy in the links. In other words, A sends a MB to B which sends it to C, that’s 1 MB of information transmitted to customers but 2 MB of laser transmission.
Any church that engages in for-profit activities is already taxed. The only "special" treatment churches get is they're assumed by default to be non-profits while other non-profits have to apply for the status.

I think you underestimate how much progress there has been in human enhancement the last few years. We are very close to the point where we can bypass the genetics. I suspect that's why Peter Thiel is taking an interest like this.
>But for some reason, those two institutions just happen to make large donations to the city and state every year.

Because that's part of the deal those institutions basically cut with at least the city (don't know about the state) decades ago. It's pretty reasonable. They don't have to pay taxes and are arguably good for the city as a whole but, of course, they're dependent on a lot of city services. When you're as wealthy as they are, it's just sensible not to see how far you can push things in the direction of paying the least possible amount.
Garry and Elon. We have to get these two together.

"Deep-pocketed donor to moderate politics" is the most milquetoast attempt at an insult I've ever read in print.
I was a musician that has tracks on most of the popular music stuff, was a successful professional dj, worked with other semi-successful musicians, authors, and others successful in other careers, heck even I have a musical effects company. it shouldn't be shocking that some of us have more successful careers than me - music leads to ideas and invention, why should that not include software?

I mean there's https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2022/06/on-the-subver... for one. And you can look for instances of warrant canaries to see where else they've used the existing legal system.

As for covert ops, well, they're covert. I don't have any evidence (hence I said "I'm guessing") but that's how I understand secretive agencies do things. If you look at all of the agencies involved in Stuxnet, you'd get the idea that allied countries' secret services tend to work together (or for each other) to some degree when it suits them.
I think SuperNinKenDo is right. We are witnessing events now which are unprecedented.

For example, Australia is now at the point where we have the police force in a (once-)successful western democracy gaslighting for pro-terrorism protestors.

The NSW Police just did a press conference [1] where they said "forensic analysis has found no evidence the phrase "gas the Jews" was chanted in videos circulating online from a pro-Palestinian rally at the Sydney Opera House, despite witness statements saying it was."

They did not say who performed the forensic analysis.

If you have seen/heard the videos (the one I watched was posted on X/Twitter on the 10th October 2023), it is quite obvious that the protestors shouted "gas the Jews" multiple times and it is absolutely extraordinary that anyone would claim otherwise.

Here is another example.

On the national holiday, Australia Day, January 26th, in Melbourne, there was an "Invasion Day" rally with "thousands of Aboriginal and Palestine flags". Protestors held a large banner with the message "Kill the Australian in your head" (i.e. "kys in minecraft") and calling for destruction of the country. [2]

Read the article [3] about this incident that occurred near this protest:

An elderly couple had earlier attended the 21-gun Australia Day salute at the Shrine of Remembrance near the city centre. They wore Australian flags in their hats. After that, they found themselves near the path of the protest. A police officer approached the man and said "You are under arrest for inciting a riot".

We just had a copycat crime where teens stole cars and rammed cyclists and filmed it for TikTok [4], just like the well-publicized case from the USA last year.
