Hi, I'm Amir. I've worn many hats during my career, from front-end development to data engineering, and I've built software in languages with different paradigms. I'm mostly interested in building platforms and products that empower software engineers, but also interested in products that might be less tech-oriented and more human-oriented.

I really like what you're doing and have been following your careers page for a while. I applied a few weeks ago and spoke with recruiting, but haven't heard back. Do you mind checking my application? CV: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1c7ayN_qN9ayABWc7L8hKe9tp2uM...

I love the idea and I cannot stress how many times I regret finding some undistracting results from those knowledgeable people who put time and energy to produce high-quality materials instead of search-engine-optimized dull content! That said, a mere full-text search lacks understanding context. I tried getting some results about gardening and plants, but returned results where anything from bitcoin to power plants, or even DNA, and not vegetation.

I'm a software developer with seven years of professional experience. I've worked as a front-end developer, network programmer, back-end developer, data engineer, and development lead. For the past couple of years, I've been mostly implementing cloud-native infrastructure software, and I'm aware of some Kubernetes specifications and technical issues. I'm in the process of immigration and can use the ~20 hours a week, which is not used by bureaucracy and my personal hardware project, for a remote job. I happily accept BTC or ETH payments.

What is cloud 2.0?

> What stood out for me was the kernel version of netgear equipment used: 2.6.36.4

Does having a modern kernel solve this issue? As I understand even on a modern linux-based router one should disable those ALGs as it's their [lack of] interface with connection state which is broken.

Memory dump will probably be what you want to do, but are you sure the process closed the file? If it's a config file, that's sensible the process has closed the file descriptor, but if it didn't (probably because of developer error), it's possible that file be still accessible (through inode for example in Linux). Actually I faced the same problem today; it was a virtual machine disk file that has been overwritten but virtual machine was running, so the (deleted) file was open and I could get it back.

New comment by Reith in "Spotify’s Discover Weekly: How machine learning finds new music"

Reith — Sat, 14 Oct 2017 08:31:08 +0000

Weekly suggestions is pretty good for me but daily suggestions can be horrible for less widespread listening. Yesterday I listened some Iranian traditional music for first time with Spotify and It didn't take much time to suggest based on traditional and theosophical music, some dirty hip hop music full of swear words.
