Software architecture in the age of Agility and DevOps
So you are basically building a classifier that tries to assert if a user will like a video. While many are against any kind of "algorithm" within the fediverse, I believe that it's a necessity. But, I think allowing users to tag content and then building classifiers that allow you to filter based on that would be a more aligned with the fediverse.
Anyway, cosine similarity has worked for a lot of things, so I think it's a solid foundation to get you started. Another thing you can try is using an embedding model, specifically a model that receives a segment of a video and yields a matrix with the property that similar input will result in outputs relatively close to each other (cosine or euclidean distance).
Another thing to consider is building a platform that will permanently store data. If you can come up with a set of endpoints, I can implement something in python to get ypu started. I don't have experience with video processing so I cannot help you with that, but the crud aspect is no biggie.
There are a lot of things to unpack here.
First of all, your friend is at vulnerable place and this is not the time for you two to explore a romantic relationship. You will definetely regret rushing things, you sound like a kind person and you don't want to exploit her. Try to be there for her, give time and space for something romantic to develop.
When the time has come try to be clear and formal, ask her for a date, like you are meeting a new person. Dating someone you know for a long time can be confusing and messy, invest the time to understand the romantic side of your relationship.
Also, you deserve to be with someone that appreciates the whole you. De-transitioning should something you do because you want to and not something you do because someone else wants it. You are allowed to change your mind, but make sure you do it for the right reasons.
Last but not least, as far as the equipment is concerned, there are always strap ons 👌
PS the concept of love can be complex and confusing. There is a lot of research around it, but IMO the bottom line is that there are two sides of it you need to be aware. 1) there is limerance which is a feeling and 2) there is love which something you do
Also, fuzzing is becoming quite popular. It's a technique that automatically detects vulnerabilities on a binary. Though, it is computationally intensive, so I would love to the emergence of a peer-to-peer project that allows anyone to contribute by testing open-source software.
I have had a couple of interviews but no success from easy apply. I would say the ratio (applications / interviews) is about 1-2% for me.
I ended up setting up a postal server on my vps (see here). Their docs are pretty easy to follow through and it's probably the cheapest option (assuming you already use the and have a domain).
I haven't finished reading this, but so far I find this a very interesting read. I would suggest adding a definition of fractals, while I have a good grasp of the concept, I think that it would help to define how you are thinking about it.
I hate to spoil your fun but IRs are made to be written by programs and read by programs.
Lemmy is a public forum, if you want to communicate privately exchange matrix handles and communicate there.

Are there any other, less biased, sources on the topic?
After skimming through the decision of the arbitration comitee, I feel there more than a few inconsistencies in the article.
A quick google search revealed only Isreal friendly sources covering the decision...
You mean Methylphenidate? Because people when understand a different thing when you say meth...
Are you me? Or am I you? The crazy thing is that when I work, I wooork. Like 12 hours without peeing, drinking water, eating, or taking any breaks.
Nothing atm, but you never know what you may find. I would assume that most whistleblowers didn't know they joined a shady organisation until years down the line...
Maybe, add a clause what should happen if you disappear for more than x days. For most jurisdictions you are considered dead if you disappear for a few years.
Why not keep a copy?
Also, both people are single point of failures. Maybe, 5-6 people where each has an encrypted payload and the keys to decrypt everyone else's payload.
Another thing to consider is that you won't know immediately that the information you stumbles upon is incriminating. Sometimes it may take years until you have all the pieces of the puzzle.
How would you implement a dead man's switch?
After reading about the "suicide" of yet another whistleblower, it got me thinking.
When working at large enough company, it's entirely possible that at some point you will get across some information the company does not want to be made public, but your ethics mandate you blow the whistle. So, I was wondering if I were in that position how I would approach creating a dead man's switch in order to protect myself.
From wikipedia:
A dead man's switch is a switch that is designed to be activated or deactivated if the human operator becomes incapacitated, such as through death, loss of consciousness, or being bodily removed from control. Originally applied to switches on a vehicle or machine, it has since come to be used to describe other intangible uses, as in computer software.
In this context, a dead man's switch would trigger the release of information. Some additional requirements could include:
- No single point of failure. (aka a usb can be stolen, your family can be killed,
What happended to "Don't feed the trolls"? I thought it's shared expirience that giving attention to trolls like that only gives them motivation to keep on going. Ignoring them is the only way to stop them from spamming.
DataLog is used to verify smart contracts. I don't know any specific examples of prolog used in the industry, though I am sure there are a few. Probably, there are expert systems implemented with prolog that are still used.
Logic programming in general has a few usages, the unification algorithm is used for pretty much every type system. Also, it is quite good for verification systems. For example, I know some symbolic execution systems implemented in OCaml.
Wondering if it's possible to put this observation into number...
The repository is not public (yet), so I created a gist with the relevant code for the transformations I have implemented. This is pure JS (typescript to be exact), I am not familiar with svelte, but maybe it's easier to plug them in. https://gist.github.com/souperk/6208d9401e4d5e47ab4b9d503b6e97c2
Book Review: Continuous Architecture in Practice
I just finished reading this book and decided to share my experience with it.
About the Book
Continuous Architecture in Practice is a sequel to Continuous Architecture both written by Murat Erder, Pierre Pureur, and Eion Woods. The authors attempt to address feedback from their 1st book by navigating the reader through the Trade Financs eXchange (TFX) case study.
The book starts with a brief introduction to the core concepts of Continuous Architecture, including its 6 principles, as well as its essential activities:
- Focus on quality attributes
- Drive architectural decisions
- Know your technical debt
- Implement feedback loops
From then on the book switches focus to common architectural concerns:
- Data
- Security
- Scalability
- Performance
- Resilience
- Emerging Technologies
Each concern is tackled in a separate chapter that features an introductory quote, a definition along with some historical context, a list of issues an someone should keep in mind whe
Any tips for finding a remote job as a senior software engineer?
Hi,
I am looking for a remote senior software engineer position. Most of my career I have been using connections to move from one job to another but this time I haven't had the luck, so I am mostly blindly applying through LinkedIn.
I know the general tips but I would like to get some more specific tips to improve my chances.
How can I make my CV stand out? I feel I am getting rejected by positions that are way below my qualifications. I have wondered if I should be updating my CV according to the stack of the position I am applying for. Throughout my career I have focused on building transfarable skills and as a result I have worked with a wide variety of technologies and it feels like I am being penalized for that.
Are there any job boards that may be better than LinkedIn? I am tired of skimming through ads about fintech and AI positions. I am not interested in those and I would prefer to work somewhere that I genuinely I am contributing something in the world. Also, I wo
What do you think about the recent LW controversy?
Recent events over at lemmy.world have got me thinking, and I wanted to see what the community here are reddthat.com thinks.
Most details are available at the lw admin team's latest post. TLDR A discussion about whether a vegan cat diet was viable started at c/vegan. An admin banned some comments and removed a moderator of the community. LW updated their TOS with a section about misinformation. The admin actions were reversed.
(Probably, I am misrepresenting the situation, read the link before taking up arms)
While, I prefer to enter my own opinions in a comment, I would like to add some questions to frame the discussion:
- What do you the new section about misinformatiom? Do you think reddthat needs one?
- What do you think about how the situation was handled by the LW admin team?
- Given that LW is the biggest lemmy instance, how do you think these changes will influence smaller instances like reddthat?
- Do you have any other take aways fr
Rant about "having ADHD is not an excuse for everything"
If you haven't heard this cliche while discussing your neurodivergency with someone, then I envy your luck. Yesterday I fucked up, I feel shitty, but also I am pissed.
Our brains are impulsive af and tend to forget the most important information. We mess up, our RSD (and empathy) kicks in, we feel terrible, we vow to be more careful, but guess what? Thats fucking exhausting.
As a result, we start overthinking our every waking moment, stressing over every little thing. Because, we are trying to be aware of the things we cannot perceive.
At some point, hopefully we realize that we cannot live like that, and we start to arbitrarily ignore our compulsion to overthink. Most often that works out great because most often the threat is not real, but sometimes we make the wrong call.
The times we overthink are still more than the times we do not, and we still mess up. Let us have our fucking peace.
Is there a wiki for neurodivergence?
I have been doing a lot of research about ASD and ADHD, and I would like to contribute by sharing information with other people. So, I was wondering if there is a wiki for that purpose.
Americans would you consider wearing a Guy Fawks mask on election day?
Not an American, but I just noticed that the election day is on the 5th of November. Given the similarities between Trump and the chancellor, it seems like a good opportunity to remind people what is coming if they vote for Trump.
For those who haven't watched V for Vendetta, do it, the reference will make sense.
Remember, remember, the 5th of November,
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason

Should ever be forgot.
Lemmings do you feel like you are falling behind in your area of expertise?
As a software engineer I have adapted to the world turning upside down every couple of years and having to learn new concepts and technologies. However, I have been noticing other fields struggling to adapt as things change in a faster scale.
For example, some researchers have pointed out that the number of papers about ADHD increases exponentially every year. However, most mental health professionals, at least in my area, seem to be severily outdated, often using information that has been debunked within the last 10-20 years.
So, I was wondering if other fields are affected and how they are adapting?
Edit: Bonus question, assuming a 40hr week (a luxury for most), how much time out those 40hrs would you need to spend on education?
What's a moment in your life where you felt fully alive?
I am reading "Unmasking Autism" by Devon Price and the introduction has an exercise that requires you to come up with 5 moments in your life where you felt fully alive. I have spent the better part of yesterday trying to remember such moments, but I am not even sure what it means... I was hoping the community here can provide some insights, either by sharing their moments or their definition of being "fully alive".
Full text of the exercise for anyone interested:
Instructions: Think of five moments in your life when you felt like you were FULLY ALIVE. Try to find moments from throughout your life (childhood, adolescence, adulthood; school, work, vacation, hobbies).
Some of the moments might leave you with a sense of awe and wonder—“wow, if all of life was like that, life would be amazing!” Some of the moments might leave you feeling deeply recharged and ready to face the next challenge, or satisfied and fulfilled.
Write down each of these moments. Tell the story of each mo
Trouble logging in with jerboa
For the past 3 days I have trouble logging in reddthat using jerboa. I am able to log in to other accounts, including LW. Also, I am able to log in reddthat with the web app and Eternity. When I log in, I get a message Illegal input field, public_key is required (the full message is not visible).
I am using a password manager so I am sure I am using the correct credentials. I have reinstalled jerboa and deleted all data.
Anything I can try? Anyone else facing the same issue?
Edit: I have tried every version from 0.60 to 0.65, some of them I have used successfully in the past.
Any fedivision submissions from reddthat members?
Hi, are there any reddthat members submitting to the #Fedivision2024 contest?
If you are planning on making a submission, let us know. I would be happy to support members of our community!
Is there an ADHD med shortage in Asia?
When reading about the shortage, they always write about Europe or America. This got me wondering, is there an issue in Asia? if not could we order from there?
Any good articles on designing applications that can be self-hosted?
I am developing a platform, the details don't matter, but it's a system the hosts personal data. As a result, I want to avoid hosting users in any way, and I am trying to make it as easy to self-host as possible.
I have some experience self hosting applications and I have some intuuition what to do or don't, but I wanted to see if I can pull from the collective wisdom.
Got any good resources to share? Any tips? Or, maybe some bad experiences or things to avoid?
Why there isn't a "Typescript" for python?
Context
Being a full stack developer, I have decent experience with both python and Typescript. I often use python for API development and I have been trying to write code that is pep-484 compliant (aka fully typed). However, often I get the feeling that if I was using TypeScript it would be much easier.
That got me wondering why there isn't a fully typed language that compiles to python.
I am aware of some arguments, so I am going to get the conversation started by providing my thoughts on them.
ts2python
ts2python is a TypeScript to python compiler.
Unfortunately, it covers only a small subset of python's capabilities. I am not sure why this hasn't been adopted and/or expanded to cover more of python's capabilities, but I can see possible issues with some python features that are not supported by TypeScript like context managers or operator overloading.
Still wondering if it would be possible to extend the TypeScript compiles so i
What's the equivalent of physics constants for social studies?
In physics, it's common to develop a formula and then stick a constant to explain the unknown. For example, Newton's theory of gravity uses the gravitational constant G on the formula F = G * m_1 * m_2 / r^2, later on Einstein gave a more accurate explanation with the theory of relativity which does not rely on a constant E = m * c^2. Constants provide a good enough explanation of the laws of physics that's useful for centuries.
I was wondering what's the equivalent in social studies? How do researchers deal with the uncertainty of human behaviour?
Edit: Comments made me remember how much I don't understand the theory of relativity, terrible example, sorry for the confusion. I need to rephrase the question but I don't know how.
I am looking for "glue" concepts, things that help connect observations with theory, aka if I calculate m_1 * m_2 / r^2 the result is slightly off but if I account for G, an empirical constant derived from observation, then everything makes sense for t
Gray matter asymmetry alterations in children and adolescents with comorbid autism spectrum disorder and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov Gray matter asymmetry alterations in children and adolescents with comorbid autism spectrum disorder and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder - PubMed
Despite the high coexistence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (ASD + ADHD), the underlying neurobiological basis of this disorder remains unclear. Altered brain structural asymmetries have been verified in ASD and ADHD, respectively, making brain ...
This finding demonstrates that ASD + ADHD is neither an endophenocopy nor an additive pathology of ASD and ADHD, but an entirely different neuroanatomical pathology. In addition, ASD + ADHD displayed altered GM volume asymmetries in the prefrontal regions responsible for executive function and theory of mind compared with ASD-only.
What's the political sphere in the Netherlands?
Hi, I am thinking of studying in Eindhoven, there is a master's degree I really like. I have been interested in the Netherlands for quite some time since urbanists think really highly of the country. I got the news of the far-right winning the first round of the elections and that got me concerned.
I would like to know how local leftists view the change, abject terror? or "whatever" we got a robust system they won't be able to do much harm?
I want to study the Fediverse
TLDR; I would like to study the Fediverse and I am looking for recommendations and connections with like minded people/researchers.
I have a CS degree and I have aspirations for an academic career. In the past, I was interested in programming languages and the theory of computation. The past year I have been more interested in social issues like isolation, freedom of press, misinformation, and access to information. I have been following the fediverse closely and I truly believe in its potential.
My goal is to study social media as a computational system, how a bunch of people interacting with each other can generate reliable information. Topics I have been thinking about include: How neurodivergency awareness has been booming through social media, how scientific research can be done in a global collaborative environment instead of an institution focused, and how misinformation could be combatted with small interconnected social circles like mastodon.
I have been considering getting
Buying medicine late at night in a car dependent city
Tonight my sister had an asthma attack and her inhaler ran out. It was late and the nearest open pharmacy was 3km away. Our options were:
- Walk 42 minutes to the pharmacy.
- Wait 40 minutes, walk 10 minutes to the bus station, take the hourly night bus (pray the route isn't skipped), and walk 15 minutes to the pharmacy.
- Drive 8 minutes.
Fortunately, I have a car, so that was an option. However, tomorrow I won't sleep at home and my sister doesn't have a license, and maybe that happens the next time she forgets to refill... We live in Athens the capital of Greece, not a rural area, not a small town, but the fucking capital.
Car dependency sucks.
Edit: While ambulances are an option, no matter how unreliable they may be, having to escalate, when it shouldn't be necessary, is increasing the load of an already overloaded health care sector.
How do you relax/rest?
I understand that I have to relax every now and then, however I am really struggling with it, being constantly in an endless loop of:
- Having a lot of energy and doing a bunch of stuff for a couple of weeks.
- Getting exhausted to the point I cannot control my impulsions and wreck my daily routine
- Try to rest only to fall in a depressive state for a couple of weeks.
- Collect myself up and repeat from step 1.
Trying to do low effort activities like watching a series or playing video games, is addictive, I stay up late without being able to stop, and end up more tired.
The hobbies I like require focus, and that's what I am trying to avoid. Examples include programming and chess.
Going out with friends is nice but drains my social energy, after a couple of weekends out I need to stay in.
Chores sometimes work, but other times I feel guilty about the state of cleanliness of my home.
So, how do you relax/rest? Got a magic recipe? Are you struggling like me?
Edit: I just want t
