assuming i learned, lol :D

Ugh, i thought this was a question, not a link. So i spent time googling for a good tutorial on floats (because I didn’t click the link)…

Now i hate myself, and this post.

ECC encryption seems semi preferred now a days i thought

Point of a corporation is to make money. Point of a “limited liability company” is to prevent losses on the company side from financially damaging the owners. LLC’s do not (and should not) protect owners from criminal acts.

This shit happens all the time. Look at car settlements, it starts at the top. I’m not against a whistle blower framework at all, but it seems like executives get all the pay and none of the culpability (see headline).

Executives, focus on executives.

I’m very lazy so I’d probably start by looking at filters on those sites, if i really wanted to tackle this with programming, i’d:

see if there’s an api, or rss feed for these sites, if so i’d pull that down with a cron job and do filtering locally with probably regex.

if not i’d scrape the html and pull out the relevant links with whatever the latest html parser is for the language i use (i.e. it used to be beautiful soup for python, but there’s i think a new better one).

but as i said i’m rather lazy, and haven’t been on the prowl for jobs for some time.

I was thinking of amazon.com and kind of happy about it… now i’m sad

In my experience only kinda, and by convention (up is on), and three-way switches break this (indicator becomes the light itself).

As a parent, this is a parenting/personal issue, fuck off and please spend my money doing useful things (like supporting health care, or housing) not attempting to protect my children.

Could be in vogue and also true

Interviews are a crapshoot, and feedback from them is usually valueless. Good luck to you in your future interviews

I hear this quite a bit, and think there's actually a good deal of nuance to it. I've seen places that insisted on comments for everything, and it was silly, a significant number of comments had no value. This made people not read comments, as opposed to other places I've worked with very few comments - when you ran across a comment you gave it more weight (something here was complex, or not as simple as it seemed).

So imo, use comments which can communicate effectively, but use them sparingly for important parts that are complicated, for the rest attempt to communicate with the code itself.

Probably my quotes implied sarcasm, what i should have said is there are so many hats that a "software developer" or "software engineer" is really really broad like by the wikipedia definition at my current company we typically call those "principal engineers", or "principal architect"; i've also seen them called staff software engineers.

Likely it's super domain dependent; the failure cost with a satellite's or hardware cost you the business. Where with a website the MTTR can be very small. So a large oversight isn't quite as needed, as the cost is so small.

If you described what a "systems engineer" did that'd be a big help.

Personally i prefer go, but these are pretty standard languages; so learning the in’s and out’s really isn’t all that time consuming (you aren’t going to have to change how you think about programming like say rego). Since you have python experience these should be no big deal, but maybe worth playing with a bit if you are trying to get a job in either language and need to cross off that bullet.

As for expanding your learning, i’d try something like functional programming (haskell), or query language like rego above. Neither of these will be great for your resume though.

I do what the linter tells me to: https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck

Is it bad programming

No, it’s bad requirements, well ok maybe the programmer came up with the requirements too.

Working lunch…

Never again

We use build kite, I like it better as an end user than other things I’ve used (circle ci, Travis, bamboo). I haven’t been on devops setup end of it much so can’t really talk to that end. I’ve liked what I’ve used of gh actions as well.
