Hey all, I'm Jack, the creator of portfolo.app!

I decided to make this app because I recently started picking up some freelance work and realized my work was a big mess. I needed a nice blog site to post my write-ups and my Git repos.

I couldn't find a portfolio builder that made it easy and wasn't bloated and over customisable. Making my own was also wasting time when all I wanted to do was post my work and show it to potential clients! I hope anyone who is in the same boat as me gains the same benefits I have.

Please make sure to leave me any feedback, as I want to shape portfolo.app according to what the users want!

Thanks,
Jack
A few years ago I used marijuana every night to go to sleep. It really, really screwed my sleep up. I started taking sleeping pills and got hooked on those. Very bad experience. Don't use any of that stuff, period. Even if the marijuana feels like it's working, it interferes with your REM sleep or something like that.

In the end my sleep issues were caused by anxiety disorder. Once I got on medication for that, I didn't have any further issues. Marijuana, sleeping pills, whatever, they're all just masking the symptoms of some other problem.
Much better now actually, thank you.
Also, this!

Well they certainly wouldn't volunteer the offer without you asking for it.
Shouldn't conflict resolution be in the program itself? It should ask me what to do and be able to keep both versions of the conflicting entry. And if I answer "keep both" or defer to later then it should pack both into the vault and upload that.

(Also I didn't mean thousands of free services, I meant that each one will give you thousands of megabytes for free. Honestly just google and microsoft accounts, and icloud with a device, cover just about everyone. But there are a lot of free storage services if you want them.)

It's not in the interest of the VC that the founders have financial security. Well at least the type of VC's that have come up in since the dot com boom where it was not about building viable businesses but getting sold to the highest bidder when the founder is under financial pressure to sell they can strong arm him into easily compared to a founder that is financially secure and interested in building and running a business
That’s all true, yet my 2.5 year old sometimes one-shots specific information. I told my daughter that woodpeckers eat bugs out of trees after doing what you said and asking “what’s that noise?” for the fifth time in a few minutes when we heard some this spring. She brought it up again at least a week later, randomly. Developing brains are amazing.

She also saw an eagle this spring out the car window and said “an eagle! …no, it’s a bird,” so I guess she’s still working on those image classifications ;)
Decent take.

I will say there is a huge missing piece in which teams/orgs would strategically kill each other's products, to try and show that their "version of Alexa" was better than the others. This was rewarded by senior leadership, so much so that the remaining players are those "winning teams."

We can see the clear likeness between the "GenAI" Alexa of today and The Emperor's New Clothes.

At any rate, Alexa is just "ambient home" spyware, both mic and camera. You can't even replace it with a better voice assistant internally. Maybe it's time to unplug it, for good.

This whole thread is leaving me very confused. Series A is the first priced round. You're saying only a small percentage of tech companies raise a priced round?

Not sure why you got downvoted.

Its high value-add, but I would have thought competition would push prices down too.
I always thought there was another reason for VCs encouraging founders to sell shares: giving them a taste of wealth. If you're a founder that sold 2M in stock a year ago and a 200M acquisition offer comes along, you'd be less tempted now that you appreciate the difference between small millions and big millions.

If you thought you had a real chance of going much bigger, having cash already makes you more willing to take that risk. And since VCs tend to make most of their money off a couple very big wins, it's worth it to have founders that won't settle for less than billions.

The problem with a random nonce is that most implementations also use a nonce of 12 bytes which under some use cases might not be enough before you repeat a nonce. So to remedy this they suggest using a counter but this could be hard to implement.

When I use AES-GCM I just use a bigger nonce and use a random one.

Last time I used AES-GCM I had a really hard time getting the person writing the other end to not re-use nonces.

> The founder in this scenario was offered $400,000 of liquidity at Series A and $750,000 at Series B and encouraged to do so by their board of investors to de-risk their own life.

This is from the article. I would tend to agree with you.
My advice would be to dip your toes into some of the languages / frameworks that the "specific tech stack" jobs are wanting, so you at least have some exposure to it. Then, you can focus on selling your wealth of general programming experience and transferrable skills to bridge the gap.

A good lens might be to view those positions as senior first, and technology second, even if you don't necessarily voice that perspective in the cover letter / interview.

> She worked at IBM in the 1960s and invented generalized dynamic instruction handling, a key advance used in out-of-order execution, used by most modern computer processors to improve performance.

I only found out about her a few weeks ago, when I was trying to understand that recent GhostRace exploit. It uses out-of-order execution, which led me to her. There's a fun little cartoon about her somewhere on YouTube, but I can't find it.

Sad that she's now gone!

I've handled victorian era letters (Letters to or from John Ruskin) and the way they decay around the ink is amazing. It's like picking up a post-modern paper cutout with goth black edging: the insides of the writing just .. went.

In an operand-collector architecture the threads are still executed in lockstep. I don't think this makes the basic architecture less "SIMD-y". Operand collectors are a smart way to avoid multi-ported register files, which enables more compact implementation. Different vendors use different approaches to achieve a similar result. Nvidia uses operand collectors, Apple uses explicit cache control flags etc.

> This enable to read from the register-file in an asynchronous fashion (by "asynchronous" here I mean not all at the same cycle) without introducing any stall.

You can still get stalls if an EU is available in a given cycle but not all operands have been collected yet. The way I understand the published patents is that operand collectors are a data gateway to the SIMD units. The instructions are alraedy scheduled at this point and the job of the collector is to sgnal whether the data is ready. Do modern Nvidia implementations actually reorder instructions based feedback from operand collectors?

> That why (or 1 of the reason) you need to sync your threads in the SIMT programing model and not in an SIMD programming model.

It is my understanding that you need to synchronize threads when accessing shared memory. Not only different threads can execute on different SIMD, but also threads on the same SIMD can access shared memory over multiple cycles on some architectures. I do not see how thread synthconization relates to operand collectors.

I haven’t read post yet but I used to work in this space @cable. The nice bit with bluefield3 is you can run nginx on the on-board arm cores which have sufficient ram for live hls usecase. You can use liqid pcie fabric and support 20 bluefield nics off a single cpu 1u box. You essentially turn the 1u box into a mid-tier cache for the nics. Doing this I was able to generate 120 gig off each nic off a 1u hp + the pcie fabric/cards. I worked with liqid and hp lab here in Colorado prototyping it. Edit: I ran the cdn edge directly on nic using yocto linix.
I’m curious, is there some kind of real-life benchmarks available online for this?
I totally believe that a network would deprioritize the mvnos, and I’m guessing there is some pecking order depending on their contract with the network, but I’m curious how it converts to real world usage.
If employees realize they are taking more risk than the founders, maybe they'll ask for more compensation, maybe they'll congratulate the founders and move on with their day, maybe they'll start yelling: "I'M TAKING SO MUCH RISK, IT'S SO HARD TO BUILD A COMPANY, I DON'T EVEN HAVE ACCESS TO LIQUIDITY!!!". And maybe they're right.

This is why I think the term "Founding Engineer" is often just a fancy way of saying 'sucker.'
Hell, I'm fine with speeding indicators too as long as I can easily override them when necessary and they only ever report to me. But I know that shortly after we have those, they'll either lose the ability to be overridden or start remotely reporting to parties other than me.

It’s not binary. Enough financial security that they don’t care what their investors think, no. Enough that they’re thinking of how to grow the company rather than how they’re going to pay their mortgage, yes.

Money just represents tokens to use on our collective pile of goods and services. Growth refers to the rate at which the pile grows, and is largely divorced from money. Money is fake, and the systems behind it's distribution/allocation is regularly gamed for personal gain, in ways that go against the spirit of what money is supposed to represent. Money is an intermediate tool to help keep a track of who put how much on the pile so that everyone can focus on doing what they are good at, and in return, take from the pile what they need, as made by others who are good at other things.

Increasingly we see a problem of people who add nothing to the pile getting large wads of money and taking more than their fair share from the pile. This is a problem.
It sure sounded like the future. FYI CoLD SToRAGE released a remastered version of the WipeOut tracks on bandcamp earlier this year.
In Cherán, however, there was no such violence. Nor were there any avocados. Thirteen years ago, the town’s residents prevented corrupt officials and a local cartel from illegally cutting down native forests to make way for the crop. A group of locals took loggers hostage while others incinerated their trucks. Soon, townspeople had kicked out the police and local government, cancelled elections, and locked down the whole area. A revolutionary experiment was under way. Months later, Cherán reopened with an entirely new state apparatus in place. Political parties were banned, and a governing council had been elected; a reforestation campaign was undertaken to replenish the barren hills; a military force was chartered to protect the trees and the town’s water supply; some of the country’s most advanced water filtration and recycling programmes were created. And the avocado was outlawed.

Direct action gets the goods.
Thanks for the heads up on pair locking. I saw a comment somewhere (without much to back it up, admittedly) that suggested "Lockdown mode" would also prevent similar attacks (which apparently prevents connections of any kind when locked).

It definitely sounds like pair locking is a more reliable method, but lockdown mode can be done a few minutes before getting to a border, it doesn't require access to a laptop/desktop to run Configurator.
This is my screencap tool - the 'pin' feature is particularly useful when debugging things. One minor annoyance is it struggles with DPI scaling across screens (i.e. multi-screen with different scaling factors on different screens). There's a long thread on github with workarounds.

I understand what you mean but I think maybe your example wasn’t terrific given I think the elderly are actually frequent and vulnerable targets for crims. I’ve actually had scenarios where my parents were unable to log into an account and when I asked why they needed to, it was to give some “support specialist” information they were asking for. Is it a pain in the ass to help your parents install a mobile app sometimes? Yeah I guess. I’m just glad someone didn’t drain their bank account on them.

There is sometimes a point to inconvenience in that it requires time and assessment.
This antisemitism, is it in the room with us right now?
Yeah, it seems bad enough that Apple are seemingly encouraging developers to push their users into using passkeys without asking the user. It’ll still be the website or app that instructs the browser to create a passkey if possible, and Safari will oblige (other browsers might have the courtesy of asking which the demo didn’t seem to do for Safari on iPhone).

I really hope that developers ask their users before installing a passkey on their behalf. The assumption that whatever happens to log in now should be trusted for future logins seems dangerous, and I’d hate for passkeys to get a reputation for something people use to hijack their exes accounts or whatnot.
A few years ago I had severe sleep issues caused by anxiety disorder. Instead of getting proper medication, I used marijuana, phenibut, and eventually benzos (prescribed by a doctor) to sleep every night. I was only on the benzos for a couple weeks but that was enough. Combined with everything else, I was in a bad place. I stopped the marijuana immediately, and over the next 3 months I weaned myself off the phenibut. Phenibut, if you've never heard of it, is one of the most addictive drugs out there. During that time I would maybe sleep an hour at night, if that. Some nights I never went to sleep at all. And occasionally I would dream while I was half-awake. It was such an odd experience - one that is very hard to describe. I was aware that I was still somewhat awake, but my mind would start to dream. Maybe it was just hallucination. Or maybe I really was sleeping, but I just thought I was still awake. Overall it was a terrible experience that felt very much like torture. In the end I get on the proper meds and I sleep fine now with no more issues.

PSA: Remember kids, just say no to drugs.
I don't care at all about note taking, but I am obsessed with algebra, and seeing how Coppola evaluates the "directors' homomorphism": first analysing Puzo's linear (aperiodic crystal) text into a set of chunks of meaning ("glass beads") explicitly connected by arrows and implicitly connected by order in The Book, then forgetting everything superfluous (in general, novels contain way more ideas than feature-length screenplays), and finally synthesising a new linear video stream encoding the few remaining beads (plus a few of your own, if you're feeling cosettish?); seeing that would almost be worth being indebted to Don Corleone.

[Some day (and that day may never come) I hope to be able to carry out, as masterfully as Coppola, the work of transmutation]

Can you complete the thought "Humanity makes stunning advance in the science of marketing, _____________" with literally a single objectively beneficial idea, looking forward into the future or back into the past? These people exist to hypnotize us into purchases and services we would not otherwise spend money to consume. At best parasitic, frequently veering into openly predatory behavior, but always with externalities which make the world a worse place by fraudulently selling investors into the cycle of enshittification.

Many companies don’t get to Series A and very few companies get to Series B. Even if they do get to Series A or B, they won’t be able to raise the amounts you see in the news and have heavy dilution.

Very few founders have double digits percent ownership by Series B and Series C.

Liquidity of $400k or more is a lot and isn’t available for many founders.

All of this after 7 to 10 years of working 80+ hours week, no social life, loosing family, sacrificing health, taking less than $100k/year salary, constant worry of failure, dealing with ups and downs of employees, being a support system of everyone in the company while not being one for their own families, and no guarantee of success. All of this for seeing their dream come true because failure would be worse.

I think the OP should work on his company for more than 4 months and have more than 10 employees for at least a year to truly understand what it is to be a founder.

Also 20% option pool and exercising options up to 10 years are not uncommon.

This is the model, you can see a lot of early stage founders looking for a "founding engineer" which is really just an excuse to pay founder salaries for 1% of the company rather than 50%. If the founding engineer quits without buying their options, then the founding team recoups the 1% equity. Its a recipe for the founding engineer to be burned out and pushed out.

Pleased? No. A bunch of people died because a small minority of people wanted to be selfish fuck-holes.

But again - as has been pointed out to you already, the policy in discussion is 100% unrelated to COVID, or lockdowns for that matter.

You might as well claim that Australia has strict biosecurity rules and doesn't let you bring in a banana because of COVID lockdowns.
It's more than that. We Have Explosive by FSOL was indeed a highlight. But so was Firestarter by Prodigy, which was huge. Underworld was known for doing Born Slippy, huge hit from the Trainspotting soundtrack. Chemical Brothers were huge too.

You're right that there aren't a lot of original tracks in the soundtrack. Basically just the ones by CoLD SToRAGE. But even those are top tier.

It was the highest caliber a soundtrack had been yet.
