Not likely a candidate for your roles, but great to see you growing to the point that you're hiring! Big fan!

Harvard Library Innovation Lab | Senior Software Engineer: Backend + Data | Full time | Cambridge, MA (hybrid schedule, REMOTE possible)

The Harvard Library Innovation Lab explores the future of libraries by building tools and communities for open knowledge. We build long term services like https://perma.cc, https://opencasebook.org, and https://case.law, and we host fellows like Molly White, creator of Web3 is Going Just Great. We are a creative, experimental place to build open source code that makes a difference.

As part of our new focus on making library materials compatible with new modes of consumption, such as by Large Language Models, LIL is looking for someone skilled at processing large amounts of data with high fidelity. Through their understanding of libraries, this person will help us shape the wealth of data these institutions hold to meet the needs of data and AI engineers.

You can read the job description and apply here: https://sjobs.brassring.com/TGnewUI/Search/Home/Home?partner...

I'm really glad you appreciate that!

COLD is bigger than Caselaw Access Project. It's over 8 million cases vs 6.9 on case.law.

Please let me know how you find using the data and if you'd like to see any additions or changes!

Currently, only the frontend position is in Harvard's ATS, but we expect the backend one will list next week. You can apply for the frontend one here: [REDACTED]

EDIT: looks like HR took the post down to edit the title to reflect the frontend / backend focus. I'll update this post when it goes back up next week. Feel free to check out our site at https://lil.law.harvard.edu/ and reach out with any questions!

ARM is not open... You can license the IP.

But the point is that manufacturing has become commodified. If TSMC doesn't work out, there are other fab companies to use.

Based on your qualification of who's silicon it is, AMD, Broadcom, Marvell, MediaTek, Nvidia, STMicroelectronics, and Qualcomm do not manufacture chips... Even IBM uses TSMC. That's a lot of the CPU silicon shipping right now.

The market has changed, and most CPU vendors don't fab their own chips anymore. The IP is in the chip design. Are you saying TSMC designed the M1?

Interesting time to launch a product that involves everybody touching something.

Premature optimization would be doing things in static HTML even though the rest of your code is in React because static HTML is "lighter" or "faster."

Also, Next.js does static HTML export out of the box if that's your preferred end target.

Here's a great talk about the real ramifications of this sort of problem:

It's good for accessibility...

They could definitely hamper mechanisms that use your location to enforce DRM, like video streaming services.

I was taught basic counting, addition, and subtraction using a finger-abacus system called Chisanbop: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chisanbop

Now I'm plagued by off-by-one errors in my mental math, particularly when it comes to intervals. If you ask me how many days there are between now and Christmas, I will be uncertain about the answer unless I individually count them all off on my fingers.

DNS over HTTPS is actually a lot slower to resolve than traditional UDP DNS.

Being able to combine monads like this is part of the point.

Interesting. Too bad Tracking Protection doesn't apply to Mozilla as well. ;)

You can't disable telemetry in the Developer Edition for some reason, so I've gone back to Stable.

'"stop using [something useful]" considered harmful' is dying

To be fair, though, they're not the only project coming up in this space, and Go is a legit choice for systems programming.

I think the spf there is Linus' email account, right?

My team was working on merging pull requests when this happened.

We might actually be at fault! That would be kinda cool.

Yeah, my SSK is an '87. There's definite differences in terms of weight and key wobble, and the keycaps on the Unicomp are less sturdy.

Plus I do actually have a USB model, and it can be flaky and require a replug at startup. And the pointing stick has different sensitivity based on which direction you're going, which makes it worthless.

Also, I just like the tenkeyless layout.

The benefit to a new Model F is I'll never have to worry about needing to do a bolt mod, and you can actually move the barrels around to a different layout if you want to. Plus, with the XWhatsit controller, you can program it and have layers and whatnot, and bug-free USB. And the case is metal.

The Unicomp stuff is comparable, but I think it's a reach to say it's totally the same.

They're also not quite the same as a vintage Model M in terms of keyfeel or quality. And a Model M is not quite the same as a Model F. I'm typing on a Model M SSK right now, I have a Unicomp in the closet, and one of the keyboards mentioned in the article on order.

Just to add some color to this: There was an attack last Friday on a few geo TLDs that ended up hijacking a bunch of traffic for a few hours, including .la, .es, and .jp:

I'm in on this group buy. I really appreciate the hardcore QC that Joe's doing. It's taking longer than expected, but it wouldn't be worth it if it were half baked.

Sentry and tools like it are reporting errors that are happening in production to real users.

Not all poor people are homeless...

Pretty sure that's actually 4Chan originally.
