Résumé/CV: https://whois.johnisom.dev/assets/resume-2024-08-20.pdf
Email: john@johnisom.dev

I'm a mid-senior level software engineer and a caring human. I am highly proficient in Ruby, Rails, TypeScript/JavaScript/Node.js, SQL, fairly proficient in React, C#/.NET. I'm a product-oriented generalist who masters whatever tool he uses to deliver customer value and build great product.

I would invite you to read my resume and give me a call. You'll notice I have 4 years of experience, but what I have managed to do with that experience has been exceptional. What most people do in about 8 years, I have condensed down to 4. I've always been highly valued by my teammates.

To get this out of the way: I left Prime Trust because the company went bankrupt, and I am leaving DeepL to move back to Salt Lake City to be with my partner. Both are (were) extraordinary companies that I would have loved to spend years at. Unfortunately, sometimes life takes you another direction. I'm looking for the company I can help grow and grow with for the next several years.
It is not as simple as that.

The law said that 2+2=4 and this was the accepted jurisprudence but now he is saying that 2+2=5 because he wants and he can do that because he is a supreme court judge and his decisions legally are the new accepted interpretation of the law.

It's a flaw in Brazilian political that enables supreme court judges to virtually do whatever they want including legislating because they can pick any law and bend it. In a healthy system the supreme court would be challenged by the senate but this doesn't happen because most senators are corrupt and it is the supreme court who judge such cases.
I would get rid of the silly AI generated images for each course. I would make the page much more information dense rather than these huge bubbles (this might be only on the mobile site)
I'm not sure what this is.

Is any 3rd party involved?

Is it something like restream?

Is it development content only? No games or IRL
A better option is to make universities responsible for a certain percentage of the student loan.
In our classes, we were lucky enough to have SSH access to lab machines with all the right stuff set up. But for home use, they suggested using pip, not even with venvs. Anaconda seems like overkill.
Wished they had a Nix package, but looks good I will check it out! (Request to devs please a nix package, nix-darwin is very good for defining work machines)
Any tips for those trying to break the addictive grip of carbs and sweets? I'm sold on the advantages but implementing it has been years of failure.
Just wanted to mention that I've made those settings configurable now, and it'll default to the normal vim line numbers. Feedback shifted this one up the priority list!
Isn’t Swahili compatible with ASCII (just like English)? Why would you need a special IME to write it?
Licensing is packaging
That wasn't an actual "fix", it was just a workaround --- the flash they were using was far too leaky and lost its charge very quickly, so they decided to have the firmware constantly rewrite in the background. Even the updated firmware won't help for machines that are powered off for months at a time.

Dirac | Software Engineer (£80k) + 0.5% equity, Sales/Ops (£60k + bonus) + 0.5% equity| London, Acton | Visa sponsorship possible | In-person |
Run rate: £3m (Aug '24) up from £1.05m (jul '23) Backed by patio11 & backedvc, we're an exporting startup offering...

To the software engineer: offering a chance to write code as either our third or fourth engineer (django/postgres/python), learn to drive a forklift (Hyster J2.0UTT) and wire up label printers (brother-ql 1100c + a new zebra one which I bricked using Chat GPT sending commands directly through).

Experience as a forklift driver or as a software engineer not essential.

To the sales/operations hire: help us open new marketplaces; get stock to whomever you sold it to; also learn to drive a forklift; dealing with compliance, licenses and related issues; map navigation skills and aviation a plus (the last one was a joke, but if you can drive that might be handy).

The roles would ideally start in late September/early October, as we are planning on reaching £1m/month in December 2024.

I often find the missing support for slicing (like fields from 2-6, as `cut -f` can do) a handicap. I tend reach for jq instead of awk, these days.
It’s always been a problem for any higher impedance headphones. Being able to drive 300 or 600 ohm headphones is quite difficult, and many headphone drivers are not capable of doing it at sufficient volume. Not technically hard, mind you, just costs extra money that most don’t want to spend.

Cells behaving randomly is a fundamental part of their ordinary operation. Computers are tractable because we've done our best to engineer out the randomness and, when we can't, layer on enough error correcting codes so we can mostly not think about it.

But cells don't operate on such nicely bifurcated scales (small and random vs large and mostly predictable). If they did, the dream of cellular wiring diagrams allowing cells to be understood would be a lot more achievable.
Are there any pages on your site that describe what you've written here? At first glance I'm not really seeing anything more than a catalog of topics, with no additional information as to what uniquely valuable.

This is a common pattern I see, where someone builds a great app but saves the proper explanation for HN. Often you could literally copy your HN description to /about to improve things immensely.

They could, and water was free and did not need heat unlike table beer. In 1300 europe was 45Million strong, i guarantee you you had enough clean, fresh water for everybody as long as you did not live in a city. I'm pretty sure cities created pipe system around that time too. The issue with spirits and table beer was it needed heating, and that was costly. It probably was still one of the cheapest way to ingest grain, so from late autumn to early spring, people drank a lot of "beer porridge" for lack of a better term, but hydration was done with clean water.

Real, filtered table beers didn't really exist until the first industrial revolution (coal did help make it cheaper).

And where is the proven link between X and Starlink?

Edit: My comment may have sounded stupid because obviously Musk ownership is a link between both companies though this isn't by itself a valid reason to pierce the corporate veil in Brazilian law. The fundamental criteria is patrimonial confusion and so far I've not seem evidence that X operation was intertwined with Starlink. The only thing is the self-fulfilling hypothesis that people will use Starlink to circumvent the blocking of X.
The previous article[1] goes a bit into the difference from a simple has function.

It was very long-winded, so I haven't fully read it yet.

The key difference seems to be that a simple has function has a single argument. To verify the output you need the input value. While a ZKP function has two arguments, and one of them is not needed to verify the output.

Not sure if it makes much sense in a direct login scheme, but the alternative scenarios sound more interesting. For example, proving to an adult website you're over 18 without revealing your identity to that website.

Exactly! And everyone's trying to turn this into some kind of complex or controversial issue... I wish all those people who struggle to transfer their experience with coffee or alcohol to cannabis would imagine the following situation:

You have a friend, he decides he's going to do some drinking. All he has to hand is some vodka; pretty strong stuff. He could mix it, he could have just a shot of it, he could take it slowly over as long as he likes. Instead, he chooses to down the entire bottle, unmixed, in one short sitting (!), and then complains of not feeling so great walking around.

What do we conclude about this situation? Is the problem REALLY that the vodka is too strong?

For fuck's sake, come on guys... isn't HN supposed to have smart users and intelligent discussion? WTF is this?
This is a good point and something I hadn't thought about. I'm also a happy Windows user, and have never had a problem with Python installations. But like you say, Python isn't baked into the system.

I do use one piece of commercial software that includes Python. You can see the installer saying "installing Python." I suppose it should fall on the OS and software vendors to not abuse the infrastructure... "to whom much is given, much is expected," but maybe too much to expect.
In Germany, in particular in the former East, fiber development inadvertently got in the way of fast home Internet access for many years:

Many regions were built out with (at the time of the German reunification) state-of-the-art hybrid fiber/copper systems, with fiber extending even beyond the central office.

Unfortunately, the technology used is incompatible with DSL, the access technology of choice of the former incumbent operator, so any landline deployed using it was ineligible for anything faster than dialup until they either built out a copper link to the central office, or upgraded the existing fiber to GPON (which didn't happen until very recently).
> Awk is something that I think every programmer and especially every sysadmin should learn

I'd argue that it should be every programmer who doesn't already know a scripting language like Ruby or Python. If you already know a scripting language, chances are the time saved between writing an Awk one-liner and quickly banging out a script in your preferred language is negligible. And if you ever need to revisit it and maybe expand it, it'll be much easier to do in your preferred scripting language than in Awk, especially the more complex it gets.

I'm speaking from experience on this last point... At my work I wrote a very simple file transformer (move this column to here, only show lines where this other column is greater than X, etc etc) in Awk many years ago. It was quick and easy and did what it needed to. It was a little too big to be reasonable as a one-liner, though not by very much at all. But as we changed and expanded what it needed to do, it ended up getting to be a few thousand lines of Awk, and that was a nightmare. One day I got so fed up with it that I rewrote it all in Ruby in my free time and that's how it's been ever since, and it's soooo much better that way. Could have saved myself a lot of trouble if it were that way from the beginning, but I had no idea at that time it would grow beyond the practically-a-one-liner size, so I thought Awk would be a great choice.
I couldn't understand what this is for and why it is useful. Gotta work on that documentation to make it more clear.

This has a good side. Tech companies were taking most of the talented people from other jobs, making it very hard for those fields. I have taught about six people from different jobs how to do software development. Now I hear about software developers moving into construction or other work. In the past, this would have been hard to imagine.

There may be some differences in ourcomes between ketogenic diet, vegan and whatever but the biggest step for health will be eating/drinking cleaner in reasonable amounts.

Incredible to see this posted today, as I was just in a long discussion yesterday about the future of AI in education. It's a neat concept but I think you're spreading yourself too thin on content, especially given the number of courses on the site. It might be better to focus on building out a core set of lessons for a targeted group of learners first. At the end of the day, even if you're using AI to generate the content, a human being needs to do the proofreading and quality assurance.

The design also has ample room for improvement - it's a bit hard to navigate the site and stay engaged with the content at the moment.
As a non audiophile who designs this stuff for a living, you’re correct it’s not difficult or even particularly expensive. But it’s also surprisingly common to do it poorly.
TOTP is a simple and nice solution, but it is susceptible to real-time phishing attacks.

Webauthn is a more complex alternative and it is phishing-resistant, because each credential is tied to a domain, which means that a look-alike phishing website doesn't work. But you need to use a hardware token or a special service like Windows Hello or Apple's FaceID to manage your credentials. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebAuthn

I actually had the exact opposite reaction.

I loved this article particularly because it gave specific, practical, targeted advice on how to really address what pg was talking about. Of course it's possible to reduce this to a "for dummies" implementation (We just need to write everything down and all our problems are solved!) but it seems pretty obvious, especially given Bryan Cantrill's reputation and influence, that this is not what he's arguing.

While I liked pg's post, the thing I found frustrating about it was precisely its lack of specificity. And, ironically, it's that lack of specificity that makes other actors (both well-intentioned and not) likely to "misuse" and/or redefine "founder mode" to be whatever they want it to mean.
Calling it a "transformer" is misleading when discussing language modelling because it now means a very specific ML architecture while your project seems to be about Markov chains + hardcoded rules using regexps https://github.com/bennyschmidt/llimo/blob/master/models/Cha...

The idea of tokenizing words and producing completions is not unique to the original transformers, it's a basic idea from NLP. So I'm not sure why you think it should be called a transformer just because it uses tokenized inputs and produces completions as well. It's like saying your new programming language has a "Java-based architecture" simply because they both have classes (and nothing else in common otherwise).

>I didn't want to call it a "computer" or a "completer". Have a better word?

I've seen projects which also use Markov chains + additional rules ontop, for example there's quite a few projects called "Markov chains with POS tagging":

https://github.com/26medias/context-aware-markov-chains

>not from lookups or assembling based on rules.

Not quite sure about "it's not based on rules" when your code has things like:

const MATCH_FIRST_MODAL = new RegExp(/IS|AM|ARE|WAS|HAS|HAVE|HAD|MUST|MAY|MIGHT|WERE|WILL|SHALL|CAN|COULD|WOULD|SHOULD|OUGHT|DOES|DID/);

or

const properNoun = `${part.value} `;
if (isPrevNNP) {
result += prependArticle(query, properNoun);
}

Pretty sure your examples in the video are also cherry-picked. The very first example is you asking "where is Paris?" What really happens is, one of the hardcoded regexps transforms it to "Paris is" and then the bigram model repeats the second sentence in the Paris dataset verbatim.
