Thank you for getting back. They have a software shop I drive by every day and I wasn't sure the best way to get in touch with them.

Hope all is good on your side.

Do you work at Posnet in Agoura Hills? If so, I'd like to submit a resume. ([email protected] if I am allowed to post email addresses on the board)

Seems like a stretch to invent hypotheticals for how a common person might benefit. I am curious what the usage stats are for it and what reflections that has on society.

The Works of Archimedes by Sir Thomas Heath

I think it was a "cost saving" proposal because the technical interviewer had already gone through the database nitty gritty.

I had an exec level interviewer ask me about migrating from sql server to pg and deep down I knew it would be a nightmare but also knew that I would have to say its ok in order to continue on with the interview process, I paused and said that it was possible but would likely require a lot of work....luckily didn't get that job

Could there be a key model where you could unlock access and then control via chosen (hopefully reliable) software?

Agreed. I had the G4 but eventually quit because it was sounding false alarms frequently. The later versions are more accurate but I question whether I would participate if their programs get more closed off. Also don't want to use a closed source mobile app without knowing what personal data might be getting sent out.

smells like burnt money

Interesting, hopefully they will come up with some strategies to reduce counterfeits/innacuratelistings in general

Or do you just mean that this took absolutely forever?

Did something particular prompt this?

Still somewhat preliminary but its a grad level course in algos and the goal is to invent a paper that can be submitted to a conference of our choice. My background is in relational databases so I have generally leaned towards optimization in that area. My initial explorations have been to use C's forking of processes and shmem to parallelize both merge and quick sorts so far on my laptop but want to extend this to generate results on different types of hardware and for different types of data sets. I hypothesize that a better understanding of caching will facilitate a lot of this optimization as many of the enterprise systems are pretty advanced in this area.

Thanks again!

Thank you for the post. This is an area I am currently exploring in regards to parallelization and have had a somewhat tough time finding papers on the topic.

This is great. I liked the early 2000s Clippers and many times have asked what happened to Darius Miles. First NBA game I went to was Clippers vs. Lakers with this group.

So many times I have wanted to get this type of data. Visa would send reporting this way and it would have to be manually copied over. They offered CSV but there were extra charges associated. There were some pretty good libraries for paragraph text extraction but the graphs were too tough to deal with.

I'd like to know the extent/methods of the tracking and whether I can avoid it by not using their services and cleaning out my browsers and not using gmail.

I upvoted this!

Thank you, I think there’s generally some perfectionism on the technical side and things that are easier to address later that don’t require delays

Perhaps increased costs of living and undergrad are taking opportunity away from more people that would be interested.

Didn't realize, I really like WPF too, hope that executives aren't trying to push too many efforts towards whatever they think the trends might be, I tried Xamarin for mobile but ended up switching to Android Studio and just targeting there.

"Preparrrre for Q#........" (jk on that....for now)

Thank you, I think that economics has some very bizarre notions. The over-use of aggregates such as GDP, inflation, and Dow Jones levels frustrates me. It would be nice to have charts that show distributions of these types of measures rather than averages or weighted averages.

This was one of my favorites. The style of writing made me rethink what is possible in storytelling and philosophical/psychological narratives.

"What versions of .Net were you using at each of these jobs?" "What percentage of time were you using SQL databases?" "On a scale of 1-10, how well do you know Java?" and my personal favorite...."Are you willing to do a contract role for less than your salary? We have many candidates go long term."

being allowed to bring the shoulder back up with an elbow to the face of the defender while taking an extra 2 steps after picking up the ball outside of the free throw line helps too....

I would prefer to have no ads.

With the MRIs you could start a potentially successful Dr. practice and perhaps not have to worry about the licensing because of the upheaval. JK I know you probably meant MREs. Yes, I just hope that eventually the narratives shift towards recognizing and dealing with these types of issues. My outdoors skills could use some serious improvement.

I agree. It seems that much of society is running on fumes and that there is this persistent narrative that if you just try harder and work more hours while doing these 5 self-help steps that somehow that will lead to wealth. Part of my background was in evaluating credit risk of millions of loan applicants and it was very concerning to see the state of economic stability in the country.

and what prevents you from becoming another SaaS (or whatever-you-do-aaS to your customers as much as it can be service-tized?

well said
