Are we going to see a small market for artisanal thought emerge?

People consistently like free stuff more than they dislike ads.

Another instantiation: people like cheap goods more than they dislike buying foreign made goods

SEEKING WORK | Pittsburgh | C++, Python, Robotics/Automation

Need help building or scaling your robot software? Need to rearchitect a prototype into a product and pay down some technical debt? Need some advice on best practices for robotics programming?

I can help with everything from high-level system architecture, to ROS programming, to pulling off the 3D math required to get your robot moving.

A Carnegie Mellon grad with expert C++ and Python skills, I’ve programmed robots as a robotics software engineer for over 8 years. Additionally, I can tap my network of roboticist friends can help solve any challenge.

Send me an email with a bit more about your problem or goals and we’ll go from there:

Note: able to assist with other C++ or Python work if robotics isn’t your industry. Just ask!

Oddly, the worst response rate came from “no response needed.” Better not use that one the next time you want a response!

At least in C++11 and later, many classes of these memory bugs are eliminated with more modern container and pointer types. It’s not uncommon to have a company policy of not using “new” or “delete” anywhere.

Pattern matching is one of my favorite things about Haskell. But seeing it done here in a dynamically typed language is a more than little clunky (three indents needed to get to an expression). It would be better to be matched on the parameter list, but again Python’s typing would make that too difficult.

You need a friend to join you on the call to be able broadcast? I’d have a very hard time doing that, but would love to just talk into the ether solo. Creates an unnecessary network effect barrier IMO.

Could it become a violation of their API TOS if too many people use it (ie too many api calls in a minute)

The server is written in JavaScript, yes. But I don’t believe there is any client-side JavaScript

I agree —- I find the Haskell IRC very friendly, even to the point of helping people do research and figure things out instead of just dropping answers. And there’s a beginners IRC for all those stupid questions I have

I track my budget in Sheets. I have some AWS Lambda functions that IFTT calls to update the sheets with new data

Excellent. That sounds like something I'd really enjoy. I don't work in the space, but I'm more interested in the trading systems than the algos, primarily. After all, I'm a little skeptical about my ability to beat the PhDs with their institutional nukes while I'm over here sharpening a dagger.

Do you recommend that book and/or any others? Interested in automated trading + functional languages

You should rebrand it illusion.app. A trick is something a who... oh nevermind
