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


Sorry no, my name is unrelated and is just part of my last name + net.


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.


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 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


Was he/she testing your database knowledge or hoping you'd be able to fix the current issue at hand?


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


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


v11i smells like software license audits.


Did something particular prompt this?



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?


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.


My pleasure! Could you give a high-level description of what is the problem/angle you are approaching?


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!


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.
