New comment by sulami in "AI killed the tech interview. Now what?"

sulami — Thu, 20 Feb 2025 00:10:35 +0000

I've been arguing that "AI" has very little impact on meaningful technical interviews, that is ones that don't test for memorization of programming trivia: https://blog.sulami.xyz/posts/llm-interviews/

New comment by sulami in "Show HN: I also made a three-body simulation"

sulami — Thu, 18 Apr 2024 02:36:50 +0000

Thank you.

The clicking to restart is there mainly for phone users, I realized after sharing with a friend that hotkeys aren't very mobile-friendly. I don't have a good way to detect desktop vs. mobile clients, and technically one can also have a keyboard connected to a phone.

I've also been thinking about zooming, I'll see what I can do over my next lunch break :D

Show HN: I also made a three-body simulation

sulami — Thu, 18 Apr 2024 01:23:18 +0000

Somewhat inspired by a recent post here, I also made a three-body simulation on a whim, meaning to try out macroquad[0] (verdict: really nice!). Thanks to the engine I could trivially target wasm as well, so others can get mesmerized too.

The source is available here: https://github.com/sulami/three-bodies

Hi,

I'm Robin, (Senior) Staff Engineer with 10 years of experience. On the Will Larson staff archetype chart I register mostly as Architect and/or Solver, and I enjoy figuring out what is needed for organisational success. I've most recently worked at CircleCI on the core pipeline orchestration platform as well as config processing. Relevant experiences here include high throughput distributed systems and compilers.

I'm somewhat conversational in Japanese, but by no means business level (yet). Native in German, and can get by in French or Dutch, if need be.

New comment by sulami in "Pomsky – A portable, modern regular expression language"

sulami — Fri, 30 Dec 2022 14:30:58 +0000

I had a similar kind of idea for a long time, which I put into action a few weeks ago via a standalone transpiler of Emacs' rx macro to common regexp syntaxes.[0] I ended up getting interrupted and didn't completely finish it, but it generally works, though is probably riddled with edge cases.

The basic idea of rx is to use S-expressions to describe regular expressions, and my elevator pitch would've been to embed rx invocations in shell scripts using $(syntax), the main use case being something like sed invocations.

I still think it's a neat idea, and complex regular expressions tend to be hard to parse for humans.
