bigredgiraffe@lemmy.worldto Programming@programming.dev•Any tips for finding a remote job as a senior software engineer?8·9 months agoHey not sure if I’m too late but there are a few places I have run across that I don’t see mentioned:
- https://weworkremotely.com
- HackerNews Jobs (aggregator: https://hnhiring.com)
Also, your resume sounds a lot like mine, I have done a wide variety of things over the years. If you want someone to review your resume I am happy to, send me a DM or something. I’m not a developer but I have reviewed a lot of resumes for people and mentored all kinds of engineers, I am a principal level engineer in a related path though.
bigredgiraffe@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•E Ink faces growing competition in the "paper-like" display space - LiliputingEnglish3·10 months agoI just wanted to add this video to your comment because e-ink is so cool and this guy has a bunch of macro shots of the displays that are awesome and you can see the particles in the screen changing colors.
So cool!
I found this diagram on SO at one point but I can’t find the post and it is the best explanation I have found for how all of the files work for bash and zsh, each color is an individual path of execution (eg, follow the red line).
Bottom line though, it only really matters if you are overriding something that is already defined, for example I tell my users to use zshrc and I provide defaults and common things in zprofile because zshrc is executed last when they login.
bigredgiraffe@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•A dive into the tiny, silicon accelerometers and gyros in your phoneEnglish4·1 year agoThis guy’s channel is so awesome, glad to see it posted here. He has all kinds of cool tools that he built in his lab like a scanning electron microscope. His videos on atomic force microscopes and laser lithography are really fascinating as well, he is really great at explaining the concepts too, definitely recommend!
bigredgiraffe@lemmy.worldto Programming@programming.dev•Preview builds for the Zed editor now available on Linux2·1 year agoOh man, thanks for this, I didn’t know that there was a still-live form of Atom and I’ll have to check this out.
That is what I’m saying, that SDK covers more than just normal users.
I mean sure but that’s a lot of words to say “I didn’t read the directions and no one caught it in a merge request review because no one else read the directions either.”
Their documentation and examples are pretty easy to read and the site parameter is explained in the getting started guide and even linked from the readme for the JavaScript sdk, and in lots of sample configurations so I’m not sure how this made it into a release and then no one noticed the missing metrics for eleven days, sounds like lots of issues in that shop.
The behavior of the sdk isn’t great but the proposed solution wouldn’t work because you can use custom endpoints for all of the components using endpoints on domains you own anyway.
bigredgiraffe@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•What if there's a bigger, still unknown reference point?2·1 year agoHah now this is a great shower thought, if you want some existential dread you should watch this video from Kurzgezagt video about it called You Are Not Where You Think You Are about this idea, it’s great!
Alright I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask either but if I were to guess it is s01e6 that they are referring to, I had forgotten about that show! It is really a great show from what I remember, especially that episode. Definitely worth a watch if you have not, I should watch it again.
bigredgiraffe@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Why a kilobyte is 1000 and not 1024 bytesEnglish10·2 years agoYeah I’m with you, I read most of it but I just don’t know where the disdain comes from. At most scales of infrastructure anymore you can use them interchangeably because the difference is immaterial in practical applications.
Like if I am going to provision 2TB I don’t really care if it’s 2000 or 2048GB, I’ll be resizing it when it gets to 1800 either way, and if I needed to actually store 2TB I would create a 3TB volume, storage is cheap and my time calculating the difference is not.
Wait until you learn about how different fields use different precision levels of pi.

Happy holidays and give Bowie extra belly rubs for me :D
bigredgiraffe@lemmy.worldto Programming@programming.dev•I'm creating a curated search engine for web developers. Asking for a feedback1·2 years agoYeah! Granted I have an iPhone 12 which is small for a modern phone but I figured I should mention it :D
I have been thinking more about this idea and I love it even more, I feel like domain specific search engines are going to be more and more important in the future as the results of the major search engines get even worse and worse.
Awesome work!
bigredgiraffe@lemmy.worldto Programming@programming.dev•I'm creating a curated search engine for web developers. Asking for a feedback6·2 years agoThis is a cool idea! I did notice that on mobile the search results are wider than the viewport and if I had a feature request it would be to make them way, way more compact but that might just be me hah.
You should also check out the Lenses feature that Kagi has, I think every search engine needs that feature now hah. I bookmarked your site for the next time I am searching for sure though!
bigredgiraffe@lemmy.worldto Programming@programming.dev•Bit of a weird observation: "Seeing a new computing paradigm coming out of Data Science / Observability"3·2 years agoI think what this person is saying is that systems and services have been monitored for metrics and logs for a long time, I know I have been doing it for more than 20 years across many OS, hardware platform, and software stack. The tools and depth of the integrations have definitely changed and gotten way better and more sophisticated but I definitely made systems that monitored and healed themselves to varying levels of efficiency since at least using Nagios in 2003 (I’m getting Perl PTSD flashbacks now hah).
One thing that has definitely gotten better in the last 5 or so years though is code level instrumentation and tracing as well as the higher level correlation tools. I have also seen more developers and vendors way more willing to implement monitoring features in their code from the beginning leading to more data and less duct tape and guessing which has been FANTASTIC.
Anyway, great post though, the monitoring arena is definitely way more awesome than ever before these days that is for sure.
Awesome! You bet, glad to hear it worked out.
bigredgiraffe@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•Whats your favorite Main Menu music?English3·2 years agoThe whole collection of music from Stellaris and Cyberpunk are both excellent.
bigredgiraffe@lemmy.worldto ObsidianMD@lemmy.world•Looking for a URL Bookmarking Solution with Obsidian1·2 years agoAwesome! I also have used a bunch and Raindrop is really good at organizing lots of links which I thought they all were until I found it hah.
It’s funny you say that, I have one of those but he actively demands that I turn the water on so he can drink from it hah!
He definitely has enough water bowls around including directly next to that sink, he has done that since he was a kitten. No idea why, I just work here :D
