Hi, I’m Peter—an experienced iOS engineer with experiences in both SwiftUI and UIKit development. Over the past few years, I’ve primarily built social media apps for the iPhone, and I’ve also contributed to an iPadOS-specific electronic health record app.

I’m passionate about the Swift language and iOS development, and I enjoy building apps that have a positive impact on users. Even if you’re reaching out for non-work-related reasons, feel free to connect—I’m always happy to chat tech!

Sort of. It's a userland code execution exploit, which is often the first step, but all games run in a locked down VM specifically to protect against things like this, so you still need a kernel/hypervisor exploit to escape the VM and actually mess with the system in any significant way.

I am looking for a company that drives ownership amongst its team and provides a healthy environment for collaboration. I am a full-stack Principal Software Engineer with 18+ years of experience, predominantly in web develop (Database, API layer, web layer and everything in between), DevOps, and architecture. I have 10+ years of start-up experience and 6+ years of leadership experience. I am passionate about engineering and scaling as far as they align with business needs.
How does that make it improbable?
Again. All of these things must go through Congress. The President signs laws. He doesn't alter or create them.
Amazing project! Any reason why the path is -p and not just the first argument after like most cli tools?
The problem with that is you'll also get a lot of hysteria, not because this isn't a serious situation with potentially disastrous implications, but simply because journalists are hunting for clicks, and BlueSky trends... alarmist. My take is that Musk is in the process of really screwing up in a way that's going to bite him, because Trump has a very well documented history of feeding his underlings to the wolves. When all of this inevitably goes badly, starts dragging through the courts and congress, it won't be Trump taking the heat.

How many of his first term's folks are there for the second? Even his truly hardcore sycophants like Bannon were excretes when the time came. I have no doubt that Musk has wicked intent, but I doubt his ability to make it come to fruition, or politically survive the attempt.

Trump's ratio of heat to light is outstandingly in favor of heat, but it feels like people have once again lost sight of that.
I lived in Ann Arbor for about a decade. I’ll do my best to answer some of these.

* On climate change, I think the Midwest is generally pretty good, and the models show Michigan as a green zone last I looked (especially moving a bit more north). But I don’t know that I’d make this a major buying decision.

* I’ve always felt the idea of lake effect snow was overblown I spent several years on the west side of the state, everyone warned me about the lake effect snow, and I honestly didn’t notice a major difference vs the Detroit metro area. You will get snow, but even now it doesn’t snow like it did when I was a kid.

* I’m not sure what options U of M has for auditing classes, but I’m guessing there is something. You’d also have Washtenaw Community College, and Eastern Michigan University over in Ypsilanti. I took some a Unix course years ago at WCC to fill the empty time in my schedule many years ago. It was pretty painless to sign up. Ann Arbor also has a lot of classes for seniors through the rec center. And of course private business… I took a knife skills course and some cooking classes at a local place there.

* The Ann Arbor library system is pretty decent and has several branches. UofM has several as well. I’m not sure what public access is like for UofM, as I never tried while I was living there, but I do remember going there in high school to find a rare book I needed. I tried to pop in to the Library at Harvard recently, when I was in the area, and it didn’t seem open to the public, which is the only reason I’m questioning of UofM would give you trouble.

* Ann Arbor is probably the most walkable city in the area, which makes sense due to the university. Also, the freeways on all sides bound it to prevent too much sprawl. Though you will want to be adjacent to the downtown area for prime walkability. They have also been putting in some protected bike lanes if you’re into that. Some of this, and more big apartment complexes downtown have left the city feeling more congested, it doesn’t feel quite as quant as it once did, but still has some of its charm.

* For cost of living… for Michigan it’s high, but if you’re coming from a coast, it probably won’t feel too bad. It’s really housing that is the main expense.

On the topic of snow… a lot of people from Michigan become snow birds as they get older. They spend most of the year in Michigan, then head down to Florida for a couple months in the winter. My dad has been doing this for the last 5 years or so (using something like VRBO). He also recently started hiring out to take care of snow removal. Or, if you choose a condo over a house, it may not be an issue at all. Just keep parking in mind, and getting to and from the car, if you’re looking for something like that near downtown. If you haven’t lived around snow before, a good hack is to walk on the grass to avoid an icy sidewalk.

The temps hovering around freezing, like they are now are the worst for ice. If it would get cold and stay cold, it seems much safer. But downtown Ann Arbor usually does a pretty good job keeping things clean.
Any field that requires a certification and cannot be done from a computer is worth looking into.
This is exactly the reason why they were selected.
I ran my first emulator. Pretty simple, straight forward. I like it. If I start developing Android apps again, I'll def use this. I do iOS at the moment. But, this is a really nice tool. Awesome job!
Came here to ask for the same thing.
It’s definitely games that are the problem. There’s no way that websites are still embedding third party code that is just slopped together shit and wildly vulnerable [0]. Or that domain registrars, one of the core points of trust of the internet would lie about their security practices and be sued by the FTC almost a decade after it[1]. Or that an endpoint management system would take down multiple airports due to basic bounds checks missing [2]. How about a massive software company used by huge enterprises for storing their knowledge bases having an RCE [3]. A global CDN definitely wouldn’t break DNS and take down half the internet [4].

Now you might say, those companies are irresponsible and that well maintained open source software doesn’t have this issue. That would mean no 0 days for linux [5], and that the most battle tested libraries in the world are immune from basic issues [6][7].

Software engineering is broken, it’s not just games. (Although, if you think physical construction is any better I suggest you stick a T square in the corners of your house and figure out how many of your walls aren’t square ). You

Good luck with that. He is in for the next four years and will finish his term.

Impeachment and removing him from office means the dems will need to control congress. Which can’t happen until 2027. Then, those dems will need convince at least a double digit count of GOP senators to vote to remove him and not care about facing the wrath of the MAGA base…just to get him out a couple of years before term limits do?
It is quite simple to use eBPF with uprobes to hook library calls, for example: https://github.com/iovisor/bcc/blob/master/tools/sslsniff.py

The downside is this doesn't work with anything not using OpenSSL, there are projects like https://github.com/gojue/ecapture which have interceptors for many common libraries, but the downside is that needs different code for each library.

I think providing a TLS certificate is fine for the use cases of the tool; most tools won't be doing certificate pinning, but ecapture does support Android where this is more likely.
More succinctly -

"So Sue them"

It will take a long time to go through the courts, the courts may not care, and even if they do, you can usually appeal and drag your feet long enough that it doesn't matter. Oh, and bonus here, if you become president again you get another reset. It's illegal, but there's no recourse for action.

It's a DDoS on the legal system and he's got all three branches by the balls. The courts can intervene in some of the cases some of the time, but it won't intervene in all of the cases all of the time.

The only way forward here is if everybody in the federal government either does the same thing, or that they become so ineffective and unreliable at _their_ jobs that everything is slowed down enough for the courts to intervene.

SEEKING WORK - Data scientist, remote worldwide, email in profile.

A colleague and I lost out on a large optimization project (network scheduling during cascading failures) with an airline and I'm now looking for work. My ideal is a small/medium company where I can do no BS data science - ML, AI, and OR are my jam.

I've worked on projects including large language models, knowledge extraction, and the usual ML stuff - failure prediction, translation, maintenance optimization, automated sports highlights, and more. I've also done some more interesting work including vehicle route planning in constrained environments.

I love avant garde problems, and have a pretty unique toolset (LLMs+KB, OR+ML, etc). I've worked with names you know in tech, automotive, and other spaces.

The perfect fit is a small/medium sized company with a hair on fire green or brownfield problem that needs solving. I'm available immediately, and champing at the bit. Even if you're unsure, get in touch. Email in profile.
I would imagine that such a tool to infer emotional states would be most useful for autistic people who are as I can attest, somewhat handicapped upon that front. Maybe that will get challenged as disability discrimination by some Autistic group. Which would be interesting. As with most things, there are rules, and exceptions to those rules - no shoe fits everyone, though forcing people to wear the wrong shoe size, can do more harm than good.
This is like a Christian quoting scripture to an atheist, there are real world parallels of current events to draw from which carry substantially more weight.
Which are roughly like me having a mortgage that’s the same as my annual salary. Which is quite commonplace.

It’d be a problem if we had to pay it all off tomorrow, but we don’t.

She works for Disney / Hulu right now for several years and is an Associate Business Manager & Sr Financial Analyst. She manages a budget of over $250m and is universally loved. They're moving to in office and we have no desire to move to LA, especially to work in a cubicle. She wants to move more towards a startup, because she misses the fast-paced, team oriented, can-do attitude of Hulu, and is being drained by the culture of Disney. If you want a genuinely good person who will work her ass off, reach out!
I know it got a lot of praise, but I couldn't help but feel the English translation of Girl with the Dragon Tattoo was a bit awkward. Among the instances I distinctly remember, the phrase "boy toy" was used in some fairly awkward ways. While the awkwardness might be intentional or a failing of the original author, it accompanied some very alien-sounding prose that always made me feel it was a product of the translation.
According to USC 6601 — which is the current law — the President literally has the power to abolish USAID entirely, and only has to submit a report about it to do it. [1] Saying that closing the HQ and assigning a Republican as the head of USAID is "illegal" or "should not be possible without an act of Congress" doesn't make sense. Congress already passed an act allowing the President to terminate USAID. Congress does not mandate that USAID exists forever, and does not prevent the President from terminating it or streamlining it.

Right, I guessed this is what people had in mind. I'll note that this line of thinking typically doesn't get better results. It largely just gets more "red tape" so that you have to get people to sign off on things. And the person that shows up to do something will have all of their red tape in order so that they are not responsible for any damages that result from carrying out their job.

Agreed that personal responsibility is important and people should strive to it more. Disagree that accountability is the same thing, or that you can implement it by policy. Still more strongly disagreed that you should look for a technical solution to what is largely not a technical problem.
Well, it would have been pretty damn nice to see it “activate” when a candidate with 34 felonies and two impeachments won the election, but that didn’t happen, so any supposed utility is immaterial now. I disagree with the entire concept in principle and do believe that the democratic vote should choose the candidate (even now). I just don’t think most folks actually know what they bargained for.
But he literally did
Because it’s happening outside of any legal oversight. One man is telling you “this is waste and fraud and abuse”, and you’re just supposed to believe it.

There also happens to be lots of historical precedent to this kind of aggressive purges that aim to install loyalists in government, not least Germany in 1933.

(Nazis also made a big deal out of stopping “sexual deviants.” Studies of trans people and their history were the first books they burned. And now the CDC in USA is removing that information everywhere they can. A strange coincidence.)
You can already pipe your video output to another box, and add stuff like hitboxes. I think a few monitors are starting to build this in.
I've been using Mistral past week due to changes in geopolitics, and Mistral works absolutely great in English. I haven't bothered in my native language yet, but in English it worked great. Better than my first experience with ChatGPT (GPT 3.5), actually.
I think that what the world's richest tech billionaire is doing to the U.S. tech infrastructure with tech is highly relevant here.

We DO have the double-entendre word "hacker" in the site name.

I swore never to use tech for destructive purposes, and only win-win situations. Here's a thread with my comment on "what technology wants", not what Bond Villain sociopaths want.

Civilization VII review – your empire strikes back in glorious new detail
Good luck with that.

And I say that as a fellow US citizen that has born witness to the abuses of the current bureaucracy.

Good luck with that.

By flagrantly violating the laws and constitution they are doing more than dismantle the bureaucracy. They are removing the very protections that exist to protect you from the petty bureaucrats that you disdain. A government as large as ours cannot function without a bureaucracy, and there is no guarantee the current one's replacement will be as free from corruption, sycophancy, and pettiness as our current one (despite its flaws).

In fact there is ample evidence the new bureaucracy they are creating has just one goal - to do whatever their dear leader asks of them. Try to criticize Nazi rhetoric on X and see how long you last. Now imagine the apparatus of government with the same bent. Only when governments "ban" you they have ways of making you disappear.

You think yourself safe. But everyone is guilty of something. And under a government unrestrained by the rule of law there is nothing to protect you should someone in power take offense. And someone will take offense eventually. Maybe you cut some official's ex-wife's former roommate's cousin in traffic. Or maybe you just say something one day that contradicts what the dear leader says the next.

So I say to you,

Good luck with that.
There are some serious attempts at removing the car addiction. The qLine rail goes down Woodward avenue providing a rather nice alternative to the bus systems, and the I have heard recently there are talks to expand the People Mover as it was intended when it was designed. I'm hoping that the bus systems make efforts to bounce back and start serving the suburbs better.
If that is the goal, then what happened to "profile before you optimize"?

As an analogy, what's happening feels like this:

* Somebody (let's call them "X") has embarked upon a mission to de-bloat the ancient-but-working family desktop PC.
* X's first actions appear to be to desolder various things from the motherboard, while the computer is on.
* Anyone who sees what X is doing, is somewhere on a spectrum between "scratching their head" <----> "wow, they're trying their best to destroy the PC".

To those defending this particular way of "fixing" things, would you yourself replace a large, working legacy software system in this manner?
Ah, wow, sometimes I forget why I won't even visit that 'country'.
Being in bed with tax preparation companies is probably the main thing, but I also vaguely recall a statement by someone years ago (perhaps Grover Norquist or Dick Armey) that filing tax returns should be kept annoying simply for the sake of keeping people angry about taxes in general.
> might make it harder to hold people and corporations accountable

The problem is that someone (or some organization) chose to employ that system, and if the errant system doesn't oblige to have itself replaced with a new one, or be amenable to change, the responsibility rebounds back to whoever controls that system, whether that be at the level of the source code, or the circuit breaker.
It is not unbeatable. The author says it doesn't always get first place, far from it, and the video is one if its best games. He deliberately stopped working on the project before it would become unbeatable by a human.

I'm recently available after nearly 20 years of Fortune 100 operations, migrations, and project stabilizations at scale. I'm great at running extremely large and complex projects smoothly, and while I've focused on the Microsoft stack during my tenure at Avanade (joint Microsoft/Accenture venture), I am also skilled and knowledgeable with Linux, networking, hardware, and storage. My experience includes over a decade of effectively working with and managing truly global teams across NA, LATAM, EU, and APAC.

My ideal position would be an IT Director lead where I can help a company really scale and apply concepts used by enterprise clients. I've also run sales operations at a very large scale, so I am comfortable and extremely experienced at solutions architecture as well.

When not working, I enjoy cooking and 3d printing, sharing my designs for the latter (some of them have made hackernews!).

Consider, if it is found that listeria contaminated the meat of a national Chain, Boar's Head, I want it recalled and for better systems in place to catch contamination. I also want the plant manager and executives who allowed for the massively unsanitary state to continue for years.

The way you're talking , we should be going back to pre-Upton Sinclair The Jungle and letting our food run full of contaminants because why make any one person accountable for their willful addition of sawdust to their flour?
I argued that independent agencies are extra-constitutional, not clearly "un"constitutional, but very clearly not enumerated in the Constitution.

Given that, they've operated on a consensus model for so long, it's hard to say that the current admin is doing something illegal by changing (as long as the money is spent by end of fiscal year, due to impoundment laws). This may be a "constitutional crisis" in the parliamentary sense, but hardly in the American sense.

>virtually everyone on both sides has agreed

This is something I've talked about elsewhere, but the electorate that put Trump in office did it specifically in rejection of the Dem & GOP cooperation of the last several decades which led to the same things happening regardless of who was in charge.

From that perspective (and without saying anything about legality or wisdom, etc) Trump is doing exactly what the people who put him in office asked him to do.
Even the A* search algorithm is technically AI.
Complaining about the “national debt” is the clearest sign that someone does not understand economics.

What do you think happens if the debt goes up? Do you think the government is gonna go bankrupt? That’s literally not how it works.

Do you think inflation is gonna happen? Again, literally not how it works. In fact, too low public spending means you get deflation which is even worse than inflation.
You are not a citizen and you don't vote in U.S. elections. It is irrelevant what you think and the U.S. government is not beholden to what you want.
While it's true that a perspective and opinion can be made by me, it's in no way tied to the reality of how the courts will view it, which is all that matters, which is why I want an informed perspective and opinion, from the domain of law. A good example for the value of people's opinions vs how something is interpreted is Roe vs Wade.

If you have an informed reference that helped you achieve such clarity, I'm very interested. Unfortunately, my armchair has a broken leg, so I'm unable to use it at the moment. And, search engines are completely failing me.
