Is anyone interested in starting a book club? Right now I am reading "Implementing Domain-Driven Design" by Vaugn Vernon.
continuousarchitecture.com
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: 1. Focus on quality attributes 2. Drive architectural decisions 3. Know your technical debt 4. Implement feedback loops From then on the book switches focus to common architectural concerns: 1. Data 2. Security 3. Scalability 4. Performance 5. Resilience 6. 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 when architecting for that concern, a list of tactics, and a further reading section. ## My Opinion Overall, I liked reading the book, it gave me a lot of inspiration and a desire to learn more about particular topics. The book assumes a certain level of familiarity with software engineering which helps it focus on general concerns and avoid implemention specific details. I particularly liked the Emerging Technlogies chapter as it offers a healthy view on AI, ML, and shared ledgers. It helps remove the fairy dust that's blinding our industry, and instead focuses on meaningful changes that actually provide value to a product. Also, as someone with experience in software security I appreciated the focus on shifting left security concerns. ## Who Should Read This In my opinion, every software engineer can benefit from reading this at some point in their career. However, I wouldn't recommend it to a junior, if you are not already familiar with the topics covered in the book it could be intemediating. PS I am not affiliated with the book or its authors in any way. I am just a person that read a book they liked wanted to share my experience.

That's not the case for me, I can start doing stuff while talking with someone that is sitting, watching TV, or whatever.
I think having someone near your serves two purposes:
- It helps your brain produce happiness juice (dopamine), that makes doing stuff easier.
- They act as an anchor, helping you stay at one place and focus on what you should be doing, like a physical reminder.
If other people negatively impact your ability to get things done, I would suggest looking into it. Maybe you are subconsciously copying them, or you feel same shame doing stuff while others are not. I am not trying to invalidate your experience, just suggesting that it's possible you can gain a better understanding of it if you dive deeper.

I would give myself a solid 4.2/5 on python.
- I have in deepth knowledge of more than a few popular libraries including flask, django, marshmallow, typer, sqlalchemy, pandas, numpy, and many more.
- I have authored a few libraries.
- I have been keeping up with PEPs, and sometimes offered my feedback.
- I have knowledge of the internals of development tooling, including mypy, pylint, black, and a pycharm plugin I have created.
I wouldn't give myself a 5/5 since I would consider that an attainable level of expertise, with maybe a few expections around the globe. IMO the fun part of being really good at something is that you understand there still is to learn ❤️

I've had a very tough time finding my first position as a junior dev
The hiring landscape for software engineers/developers is a mess for the past year or so. You shouldn't internalize the experience, most likely you are just unlucky.
A few things to consider for finding a job:
- Utilize your connections, a lot of hiring still happens through connections. If you have attended a university/college/bootcamp reach out to your professors and check if they can refer you to any positions.
- Make sure your CV can be parsed by tools. Try uploading your CV on open resume, if it's not parsed correctly you might want to update it.
- Create a portfolii website, it's a great way to illustrate your skills. Also, others here can check it out and offer advice.
- Update your LinkedIn profile, make sure to check that open for recruiters thingy.
If you want to learn more about react I am happy to have a chat with you (no fee), feel free to DM me.
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 would be interested on job boards on the Fediverse, especially if it meant that my resume is read by humans and not machines. **How can I avoid time wasters?** I had applied to Canonical, after 8 interviews and a bunch of offline steps, I was rejected. While the interviews were fun, I feel I have wasted a lot of time and energy for a someone that was not genuinely interested in hiring. **Anything else I should be paying attention to?**

Hi, I am a building a platform with the goal of supporting apps like this, and I would be interested to develop a plugin for your use-case as an experiment (no fee).
I am working alone on this and this is not my first priority, so I cannot make any guarantees about the timeline, or the scope of the plugin. But, if you are interested we can have a chat on matrix.
The project is not open source yet, but I am planning on doing so once (a) I figure out how to properly apply licensing, and (b) remove any potentially critical information (credentials) from the repository.

Been writing an article about dating while being AuDHD. While I am not going to pretend I am some guru that is going to turn your dating experience upside down, I have a few things that have worked for me:
- Be open about your neurodivergency. If a person is worth it, they will be interested to know more about it, try to understand and accommodate your needs, and be charmed by your quirks.
- Respect your RSD. If you feel like you are receiving negative feedback don't shutdown, instead ask for clarification. If you want to do something but are afraid how it will be perceived, ask them. Unsurprisingly, people tend to appreciate the check-ins, it is perceived as you being caring.
- Try pebbling. It is the act of sharing things that you think the other person would appreciate. Feel free to info dump, feel free to share relevant experiences.
- Be meta as fuck. Explain your thought process, why you are doing something, and that train of thought that led to you saying seemingly completely irrelevant. Allistic people don't understand neurodivergence, but the right people will make the effort.
- Be honest. Maybe you don't feel safe to expose your date to your fully unmasked self, and that's okay. BUT, honesty can go a long way. See something you like? Turn that into a compliment! Feeling insecure? Explain that and ask for validation! Something bothers you? Ask for the appropriate accommodations!
- Don't try to impress the other person. Instead give your date the chance to like the real you. It's much more sustainable in the long term, you will feel more free and safe in your relationship, and it's fucking good to be appreciated.
- Routinize flirting. The consistency feels great for the other person, everyone needs a confidence boost and a few words of affirmation.

I have setup a rustdesk server with docker, it was surprisingly easy to get started. It was for a friend who is managing the IT services of a small factory, the completely switched from TeamViewer and they are satisfied. More importantly their users, who are worse than your average windows user, found the transition relatively painless.

What do you the new section about misinformatiom? Do you think reddthat needs one?
When considering misinformation clauses I like the Wikipedia example. Intentionally or not, a core strategy wikipedia followed from early on is "don't give a platform to the trolls". Some believe that constructive critism is not effective against an attention seeking troll, it's much more efficient for everyone to ban them early.
That said, freedom of speech is equally important and it's important to differentiate between hard to discuss topics and misinformation. Hard to discuss topics are important because they help us explore new ideas, and grow as people and society.
All in all, I don't like LW's misinformation section, but I do think one is necessary. While, I cannot make a complete suggestion, I would definitely consider updating the clauses about peer reviewed research. Publications can be a reliable source of information, but gatekeeping knowledge into academic institutions is an issue IMO (especially if you consider that being a researcher is an socioeconomic privilege).
What do you think about how the situation was handled by the LW admin team?
It was a roller coaster to watch the controversy unveil, but I think the situation was handled well by the LW team. An admin made a few mistakes, which is understandable, the mistakes were acknowledged and fixed.
Given that LW is the biggest lemmy instance, how do you think these changes will influence smaller instances like reddthat?
While, I am sure of the influence LW holds over other lemmy instances, I try to remember that in the scope of the fediverse LW is relatively small.
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](https://lemmy.world/post/19264848). 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: 1. What do you the new section about misinformatiom? Do you think reddthat needs one? 2. What do you think about how the situation was handled by the LW admin team? 3. Given that LW is the biggest lemmy instance, how do you think these changes will influence smaller instances like reddthat? 4. Do you have any other take aways from this? Or any other questions? 4. (bonus) Isn't it hilarious that lemmy has its own tea (=gen z for drama)?

That's compatible with information theory. You have a piece of information, the moment you encode it (turn your idea into words) that piece of information is transposed to a little different piece of information, then the channel of transportation adds a bit of noise (depends on the environment, most often literal background noise), and then the receiver decodes the to a different piece of information (turn your words into an idea of their own).
Understanding this concept is an important communication skill. Information theory gives a bunch of tools to minimize the difference between the idea in your head and the perception of the idea by your peer.
- You can add redundancy, aka say the same thing twice in a slightly different way.
- Use questions to validate your understanding.
- Have your peer use their own words.
- Use a different encoding, aka draw a picture, a diagram, or use gestures instead of using language to communicate
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.
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.
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 > > Why gunpowder treason > > Should ever be forgot.

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?
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 moment in as much detail as possible. Try to think specifically about why the moment stuck with you sodramatically.
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 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?
## 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](https://github.com/jecki/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 it would support such features? ## pep-484 > pep-484 describes how to provide type hints for python, it's not ideal but good enough that don't have to invent a new language. IMO that's a trap, pep-484 (and other typing related peps) are not a good enough solution, on the contrary sometimes they are **straight up misleading**. For example, consider the stubs for comparisons with built-in types, you would notice that they are defined as `__op__(self, other: Any) -> bool: ...` which is not correct as when `other` implements `__opposite_op__` that is called instead of `builtin.__op__`, and it's return value may be of a different type. **Typing tools have not caught up with it**, right now only pyright has full compliance with pep-484 (and other typing related peps). For that reason, SQLAlchemy had to introduce more than a couple of workarounds so MyPy can understand what's is happening behind the scenes, even for features that are pep-484 compliant. ## Use Another Language > Python was never meant to be fully typed, and they make it clear. True, but there are a bunch of libraries unique to python that make it a mandatory choice for many tasks. Things are changing and other options become available, but it's going to take time until there is another viable alternative. ## Conclusion Interested to read your thoughts. 1. Is there another reason typing support hasn't advanced? 2. Are you satisfied with typing support for python? 3. Are you transitioning to another language? 4. Are you aware of any new and exciting typing tools? Of course, if typing is not an issue for you, that's okay, every software has different constraints.
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 the observable universe. Also, as someone said, I am referring to social studies.
