Résumé/CV: https://benaiah.me/assets/resume.pdf
Email: benaiah@mischenko.com

My name is Benaiah Mischenko, and I am a senior/staff level full-stack developer with 13 years of experience as, at different times, an individual contributor, full-time open-source-maintainer, and team lead. I like to work on interesting and difficult data + UI problems that cross the backend/frontend divide. Both team lead and individual contributor opportunities interest me currently, but I do not wish to move into management.

In the past five years I've worked as a full-time maintainer of Netlify CMS, an open-source project with using React and TypeScript; then worked on the backend of the Netlify build service that runs all of the builds on that service using Go, Docker, Ruby on Rails, NodeJS, and Kubernetes; and since then led an engineering team to an on-time and well-received delivery of a new open-source website for a major department of the state of Louisiana using TypeScript, Svelte + SvelteKit, GraphQL, Contentful, and Vercel.

I'm passionate about project automation, thorough documentation, relieving pain points for other developers and finding ways to accelerate my team as a whole, and being able to contribute across a large stack of technologies to solve problems that involve a full vertical slice of an application. I strive to always grow as a developer and help those around me do the same, whether that be in a formal role as a team lead or as a peer and collaborator.

I'm happy to field any further questions over email, and am available to start immediately.
How does performance compare? Can one still get it to load in 100 milliseconds on a typical broadband connection? (Enough to feel instant)

Apart from Ethiopia, are there any places where they don't use either Latin or Arabic scripts in everyday life? There are technically a whole bunch of alphabets of course but they aren't used much afaik. Maybe the Tuareg script? Is that used by people in North Africa beyond bilingual signs?
Absolutely, there's a point of size and complexity where trying to bundle everything into an initramfs image is counter-productive.

One example of loading the kernel and initramfs slowly is netbooting over TFTP. You're better off with a smaller kernel that can load the rest of the rootfs over a faster protocol, i.e. NFS, NBD, iSCSI, etc. Alternatively, you can load a bootloader that supports a faster protocol, such as GRUB, which can load the kernel binary over HTTP.
I'd take a sharp LCD display over ePaper tbh. They look almost as nice but can run at way higher refresh rates. I agree that ePaper probably isn't quite there for refresh rate for me to want to type on it
Unfortunately, that link between vagotomy and reduced risk of PD hasn't been supported by subsequent studies. In fact, it wasn't really even supported by the initial study[1]: although the point estimates of the hazard ratios were below 1.0, the confidence intervals did not exclude 1.0 -- or stated differently, at p<0.05, the null hypothesis cannot be rejected.

There is virtually zero chance that a US court would find Elon Musk or any of his corporate entities liable in a hypothetical suit brought by SpaceX minority shareholders alleging some sort of conflict of interest. Brazil is a very minor market for SpaceX, and legal precedents gives very wide latitude to corporate management for these kind of decisions.

tl;dr air conditioning lets you use your brain more. Students do worse when its hot. Over 13 years in NYC alone, "upwards of 510,000 exams that otherwise would have passed likely received failing grades due to hot exam conditions," and these failures delayed or stopped 90k graduations!

I graduated with a statistics degree back in 2020, and I've gotta say that I think Anaconda has caused more trouble than for what it's worth.

I think that students' first real introduction to python should be through the command line, virtual environments and pip. This may hurt at first, but it'll probably be less painful than when you eventually hit a road block and have to learn how to transition away from Anaconda.
Have they tried to make the deal more appealing? Apprentices certainly don't have to be treated like garbage, not even in Japan. So what if the apprenticeship takes a little bit longer than in the old days where you needed to basically live in your workplace and survive all the toxic behaviour directed towards you, and maybe you don't even have to master every single one of those ancient skills to become a professional. Attitude and willingness to negotiate matter.
Anatomy of an Internet Argument
I certainly do, I have not seen anything yet that makes me reconsider. They have always answered to concerns well. They pass security audits.

Sure I'd prefer a Linux Proton Drive client over a BTC wallet, but nobody's perfect.
You'd recommend uv to python beginners? Bear in mind that the reason that many students are lured into using Anaconda is because they're still scared of the command line.
The craziest one I’ve heard of was the app Anom which was supposed to be for criminals to communicate securely and secretly. Except it wasn’t, it was actually controlled by the FBI. I’m part way through a book about it now and it’s pretty incredible how the FBI took it over and essentially became world police.

Determining need in the context of disability isn't the same argument, though. That's a cost specific to the individual.

I'm all for public/state schools providing even more assistance to those in need, but I couldn't be more opposed to private institutions being free to charge $500k/year or $1mil/year, and then we as taxpayers just pay it because someone decided they liked the dorm rooms better. That doesn't make sense at all.
How far should I have to ship a glass bottle? Maybe just to the bottling company. Coco Cola has one 30 miles away. Don't have to melt it down and recast, just clean, refill. I wonder how the energy expenditure compares to having a 10x lighter bottle 1/2 way around the world? (to then be thrown away).

Plastic beer bottles it seems are not as popular as glass and the world drinks a lot of beer. Are there advantages to glass for beer?
At the beginning, it looked like this was headed for Wolfram land. Wolfram has the idea that, down at the bottom, the universe is a cellular automaton, like the Life game. He's done a lot of work on that, but hasn't reached any connection with the physical universe.

But no. It's off into early Turing and von Neumann land, which is more philosophical than useful.
You have such a refreshingly wonderful website!
the calcium issue only occurs over 100ng/ml (as i said) - i could cite, but apparently this sort of information isn't relevant on this forum. But, regardless of people's feelings on this (and your old data; 50ng/ml isn't enough) - the calcium issues are mitigated completely by, as i said, vitamin K. and, as i said, this is why the higher dosage vitamin D supplements contain K, as well.

per your covid reference, there's a reason that 50,000IU or more, dosed 2-4 times (over 2-4 days!) was recommended for certain people with covid.

> We are made out of functions

Not really true, our minds create approximate models of reality and in doing so divides the world into discrete objects that we can play with, but there's no reason to believe those discrete objects actually exist "out there" independent of our senses.

In this regard, even something as seemingly fundamental as arithmetic is just language. There's not really "two" "oranges".

I can write a function that explains what happens when a ball bounces off concrete, but nothing about that function is the ball bouncing off the concrete - the bouncing ball is not made of the function, nor is the function even a part of it. It's a totally outside replica that isn't even fully 1:1. Any attempt to completely model the ball or the concrete or the bouncing will fall short - they'll always be reductions.

So we're not made of functions. We don't know what we are. We use functions to model what's happening, but they're approximations or reductions of what it really is.
And fire. The thing with buildings made out of kindling is that they tend to burn down after a while whether that's intentional or simply because lightning happened to strike in the wrong place, or these days the man-made equivalent: electrical faults.
it's more just dragging than drag-and-drop; slide finger to move the blinking in one direction; no tapping

Sept 2 Update

> NASA issued the following explanation on Monday for the strange noises: "A pulsing sound from a speaker in Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft heard by NASA astronaut Butch Wilmore aboard the International Space Station has stopped. The feedback from the speaker was the result of an audio configuration between the space station and Starliner. The space station audio system is complex, allowing multiple spacecraft and modules to be interconnected, and it is common to experience noise and feedback."
That sound, shockingly, sounds like a sample from the Song "Break Law" by Dog Blood. Check out 10 seconds into the song:

Are remote candidates ok? If not, can you please add ONSITE to the posting, as requested in the main post?
The fact that we can tell even from an EEG (a grossly inaccurate measurement of brain activity) whether a person is conscious or unconscious, indicates there's a physical reality to it, which might be able to be understood by science some day.

I think Qualia is a wave phenomena, and all wave phenomena simultaneously can be described as "existing" and "not existing" as follows:

Think of a football stadium "wave". It has a beginning, ending, location, velocity, etc., all being scientifically measurable observables. Yet I ask you "Does the wave exist, or is it merely people in various states of arm positions?" There is no right or wrong answer. This is the nature of waves.

So if you want to argue consciousness "does not exist" I say fine, that is a valid "perspective", just like the denial of the existence of any other wave phenomena is a valid perspective. However keep in mind also that the entire universe is also made of waves.

Big Tech Sees Like a State (2020)
Pretty much anything in the Arm M0+ will be in the 4kb / 8kb / 16kb flash range and anything in the M3 class will typically be in the 64kb / 128kb flash range. These are small microcontrollers, yes, but they the typical microcontroller I would reach for when doing something that is not algorithmically intensive. Microcontrollers such as this are more than capable of responding to user input, running an LCD screen, or interfacing with peripherals. With 128kb maybe I could burn 14kb (~11%) on a string formatting library, but that seems pretty excessive to me.

Kinda funny but I have the opposite experience. I go see my doc and tell them what I researched and often they tell me they are impressed, sometimes they tell me they think my conclusion is probably wrong and tell me why they disagree. However I am usually searching PubMed or the library at my Uni and not searching Google or YouTube.
Nice! Takes me down memory lane when my very first computer was a "Digital Group" Z-80 system I built from a kit with 10K of RAM! (8K memory board + 2K on the CPU board). Mouse was a faster and more compact than Tiny BASIC. It was also slightly less brain bending than Forth :-). I'll have to put it on my emulated IMSAI 8080.

It is fun to note the number of models of small languages that emerged from the early days of computing which would all fit in the L1 cache of a current processor. But they could also be used as an interesting way of doing GPU/APU macros. When I worked at Intel I implemented a simple interpreter like this to drive the compute element of the 82786 graphics chip that Intel had produced. As that 'engine' didn't have much stack support my interpreter was more like Mouse than Forth. It let me write simple exerciser tests for the chip like "fill a window region with a pattern" or "do cookie cutter blits between two regions."

I also find it fun when students learn a language like this and suddenly internalize the difference between "programming" and "computation". We joke you can write Fortran in any language but that joke is funny for me because it expressed the difference between someone who was programming by 'pattern matching' and people who were programming by 'expressing computation through language elements.' (yeah it sounds kind of snooty but it isn't, it is the difference between algorithms which can be expressed in any language vs using the statements of known programming language to similarly express that algorihm in a different language). The more ways you learn to express something I feel like the better you understand what is part of the algorithm vs what is part of the language syntax.
I've been involved with the open data movement here in Michigan for a dozen years. A lot of us have been inspired by what happened in Britain in 2010 when a change in government allowed them to reimagine Britain's digital footprint.

Here's a video by their chief architect detailing the changes.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvB6BqYs2T0

I know there's an O'Reilly video about this guy's boss but I can't find it. Sadly another government change was to end all this development. But in the end near as i can figure though a lot of the bosses left the changes have continued but at a slower rate.

No government website in America begins to compare to the clearness and simplicity that exists in Britain nearly a dozen years later.

You lack knowledge and imagination. The Russians have done stuff like burying passive microphones inside of building materials.

The notion that they would direct something at those devices to activate them is neither fantastical or foolish to investigate.
This seems to predicate what does or doesnt happen on the awareness of sentient observers. What is the evidence for that and why would the cats fate depend on whether anyone (or itself) is monitoring it in any sense of that word?
There is going to be a DAC somewhere, and somehow putting it in the headphones doesn't speak for quality. Power budget, if nothing else.
I don't think the author was referring to thinking or consciousness itself, but things like the processes within cells and the replication of DNA.
None of those symptoms, while obviously not great, sound remotely as bad as what I’ve experienced kicking caffeine or what others have experienced withdrawing from alcohol.

With regards to paranoia, it’s definitely not for everyone and I’m sorry you had that response to the drug.
Fun. Feedback: the only thing I found confusing is that it's not clear that the first block that is blinking is a data block. Maybe if it started with no block selected, and the user has to press Enter/Space to begin the game at which point the first data block starts blinking. That would make it clearer.

Reminds me of Sokoban.
Despite what audiophiles believe, DACs are a relatively solved problem and quality does not correlate with price.
> And yes they are designed for businsses and have business customers.

What I'm saying is that by definition these aren't designed for businesses. They might have business customers, they might even think that that's where their primary market is, but they're not designed for businesses if they use an account model that is designed for single consumer. And if they can't have been bothered to put together an account system then what else didn't they bother doing?

I'm not buying the idea that an account system is just too complicated and would eat up too much time. There are only a few extra moving parts (teams, very basic roles) for an enormous quality of life improvement for the company (this entire thread would be largely unnecessary if every product a business used supported at least basic account management).

Commodified Incuriosity
A common problem during summer months.
Reminds me of a similar situation I experienced while working on a big project. I came down with the flu and woke up in a delirious, feverish state at 2am feeling like I was trapped in the codebase and I needed to make all the tests pass so I could escape. It almost felt like my conscious brain had somehow found its way into the unconscious part.
