Looking for opportunities where I can bring my Python development and QA automation skills to life. I've worked across a broad range of industries—fintech, music, cargo tracking, and industrial automation. I'm all about backend development, testing automation, and diving into innovative projects. Prefer remote roles, but I'm open to relocating for the right opportunity.

The actual "blood libel" and similar accusations were based on completely fabricated stories. Applying the term "Apartheid" is a subjective use of language to describe observable reality. The current ruling coalition of Israel is a mix of hawks and religious extremists who hold expressly anti-Palestinian views. They have a vested interest in maintaining a Jewish majority. They are actively expanding into Palestinian territory and committing acts of violence to do so. It's not literally the same thing as South Africa, but it's similar enough to me. And it does not require any imaginary rituals nor condemnation of anyone for their faith. This is purely criticism of the Israeli government, although I'd go further to include the people who keep voting them in to power.

I'll put an even finer point on it and point a finger at the ultra-orthodox community. We like to think of nice Jewish neighbors who have a menorah instead of a Christmas tree as decent, normal folks, but the ultra-orthodox are extremists in every sense of the word and thoroughly isolated from mainstream society. And they are driving the excesses of Israeli policy. And, maybe not coincidentally, if you look at the rise in anti-jewish bias attacks even in the US, ultra-orthodox make up a majority of targets.

> Science is about accepting and realising the ideas that best possible describe the real world.

> What this comment is describing the "religion of scientific institutions" and has nothing to do with science.

Do you consider the real world actions of scientists to be a part of science? I think anyone who attributes scientific accomplishments to "science" must (at least when it serves their purposes, more on this below). This then (can) lead to the distinction between scientific scripture/intent/aspiration (the scientific method, etc) and things as they actually are. How is it possible to possess knowledge of what all scientists do, and not do, in fact (without resorting to the supernatural, or evasive rhetoric as one commonly witnesses politicians engage in as they dodge a question pointed at a legitimate weakness in a narrative)?

Another angle is whether negative consequences of the actions of scientists should be attributed to science or not. In my experience, negative consequences somehow do not count, and there are few disciplines other than science that get this sort of a free ride in our culture... The only one that comes to my mind is (so-called) "democracy".

I did this too! Except it was based on the original TLSF paper (on which this work is based) as I wasn't aware of that offset allocator.

> I'm also curious about making something like this work as a general purpose allocator (as alluded to by the README).

In a general purpose allocator, you can just store allocation metadata next to a payload so the lookup from a pointer address becomes O(1). The original TLSF algorithm (as proposed by the paper) was designed this way.

Months later, I also wrote a general purpose implementation of TLSF for Rust `GlobalAlloc`, which, with some rigorous optimizations, turned out to be faster and smaller than every allocator for WebAssembly and embedded environments I tested, and it's still my go-to choice. It didn't fare too bad even when compared against modern thread-caching allocators in normal use cases. Internal fragmentation is probably worse, though.

Hey everyone! I am Shashank, a data, cloud and backend engineer with 8 years of experience. Currently, I am working at an Ad Tech security company where I specialise in building backend APIs, ETL pipelines, working on security tools, overhauling our architecture and deployment processes, and managing a small team on the enterprise vertical. Prior to this, I was a founding engineer and data engineer at a DeFi based music startup, where I single-handedly built the entire backend & data infrastructure, frontend dashboards, analytics and reporting system and most of the company's products. I also built the entire payments platform that empowered music artists by using Stripe Treasury to land actual USD payments in their bank accounts and led the engineering team to success.

Throughout my 8-year career, I have gained extensive experience in delivering products from concept to launch, designing architecture, product & infrastructure planning, and managing small teams.

I have been working fully remotely for New York based companies since the past 5 years from India and Europe(as a digital nomad). I am immediately available for work as well.

The discussion about the SSO tax misses the point, it's not about the feature, it's price discrimination so that you can charge enterprise customers more. It's going to stay that way until people find a better way to do that price discrimination.

And the reason SSO works so well is because smaller, more cost conscious companies/individuals, are willing to forego it while larger/less cost conscious ones are not. It's entirely downstream from company priorities.

Résumé/CV: https://florianstecker.net/resume.pdf

After I got my PhD in math, I've worked as a university professor (postdoc) for a few years, but now I want to switch from academia to software engineering or related fields. I have 20+ years of coding experience (as part of my job and as a hobby), particularly systems level programming in Linux.

As a math researcher, I'm used to solving hard problems without established solutions, and I enjoy learning new things every day. I'm open for any opportunity where my skills can be useful. Examples I have in mind are working on compilers, high-performance computing, or machine learning (both on the math/statistics side and the algorithms/optimization side), but I'm also happy to hear about anything else!
I don't know about other demos but that one in particular would be trivially easy to create using KDE's desktop effects zoom feature and OBS screen recording (tell it to record a specific window).

I also use US Mobile and have been generally quite happy. I need a much cheaper plan than the parent post though. I think I'm at about $18/mo which gets me the unlimited minutes/texts and 6gb of data per month. I'm typically on wifi so tend to use about 1gb a month of data, the extra data is mostly for the rare occurrence that my internet is out and I need to tether for work.

Support tends to be wishy-washy but each issue I've had has been resolved, so I can't complain really. I think I've had two issues in the 3 years I've been with them. Maybe 3 conversations with support total? The third was getting assistance flipping to eSIM as it had just rolled out at the time so there wasn't a super clear solution (to me) at the time.

Oh, I'm on the Verizon network, and have never seen deprioritization. I am in a small town though, so I'd be shocked if I was going to encounter it, probably larger cities it becomes a thing.

I thought the interesting thing was how it's a bitmask (a bit rare in IDL attributes / DOM properties). Also I was unaware there were 4th and (shock) 5th buttons for some mouses. So theoretically there's 32 possible states of pressing such a mouse.

I wasn't aware JS surfaced this "multi touch" capability for buttons, as the bitmask indicates which buttons were pressed "at the same time" for whatever the event is (mouse/pointer down etc). Just thought it was cool and a little rare.

Nice digging into the MDN docs and discover new parts of the DOM. Like a new room in a giant familiar house! :) For me at least haha :)

Randall Munroe did a what-if entry about swimming pools on the moon, and swim-jumping would be wild. If you have fins, you could do dolphin jumps several meters above the water!

One of my probably-not-safe-enough ideas was to combine underwater rugby with above water rugby, and perhaps even aerial rugby! A couple of strategically placed moderately sized fans in an indoor sports hall, where part of the floor is a deep pool and part is not(or perhaps with floating platforms in the pool?) a goal on each end of the field and a mixture of players: some with fins, and others with wings

I mean tackling eachother will probably be good at keeping bone density high, though I'm not sure how hard it is to treat a probably inevitable fracture on the moon?

The bigger impact than the fine is I don't see people using baby powder any more. I lean toward the probably not side of the talc-cancer link, but I didn't use baby powder for my kids because it's purely a nice-to-have convenience product.

Nice-to-have convenience products are very easy to drop at the slightest potential health risk, and that's what I've seen with baby powder (I'm not seeing much uptake on the alternatives because the talc-cancer link gives a vague maybe-need-to-be-cautious taint to the product category as a whole).

I would be interested to hear if someone thinks that usage of baby powder is still popular and my anecdote-based sense of things is wrong.

Objectively self-awareness is just inner-awareness vs outer-awareness - what you might consider as another sense, but where the sensory inputs are parts of the brain rather than external (eye, ear, etc). So, the watcher and the watched are both the same - the brain.

The "self" is just a psychological construct - the actor behind our actions, which in fact is just the brain. This is just the way our brain has evolved to understand/predict an evolutionary landscape full of autonomous agents, who we need to model to predict their behavior. There's no fundamental difference between "self" (my-self) and "you" (your-self) - our brain observes some (inner or outer) entity as a causal entity, and models it.

Show HN: Px – Run commands across different JavaScript package managers
Hi everyone!

I'm excited to announce px, an open source CLI application used to run commands across different JavaScript package managers!

Today we have multiple JavaScript runtimes and package managers, and it's common for developers to work with more than one on a daily basis. We need to keep switching tools when working on different projects, which often results in using the wrong tool or command.

For this reason I created px, a small and lightweight CLI application that detects what package manager is being used and executes the command for you! This way, you don't need to change your workflow when working on a different project, and you can focus on what is actually important.

It also comes with a few improvements on top of the package managers for a better developer experience, such as automatic TypeScript declarations (@types/*) management and "run" prefix for npm scripts. You can find more information in the GitHub repository.

Please let me know what you think, your feedback would be much appreciated!
Small correction: as recently as last March, the CEO & Cofounder of Neeva, which I had never heard of either until listening, was on the No Priors AI podcast promoting Neeva, which had launched less than 2 years prior. So not ancient history. The podcast is a fascinating way to learn that you should really never believe a founder who is giving off an aura of success and growth as their company stunned everyone by announcing their shutdown around 30 days later, which obviously indicates that the CEO had been having internal discussions about how they were probably dead in the water at the same time he went on a podcast acting very positively. Which, I would probably do too. It's arguably in the job description. No judgement. But it was interesting enough to really stick with me.
