Hey #fediverse, I want to connect to more people here.

I am a #MachineLearning engineer who has experience with #python, #golang, some #rust, #php and #JavaScript. I also love research and have a paper published in #CVPR. Currently, I am using #AI for improving the safety on the roads. I've worked as full-stack engineer in the past.

I find this platform and people here awesome. I've had amazing interactions and want to grow them.

Hey all! I'm still on the job hunt for a junior iOS dev position. I started doing iOS in undergrad and have focused on CS education since graduating. Unfortunately, I was impacted by layoffs at my most recent teaching position and could really use a new opportunity. I'd greatly appreciate any leads. :) Feel free to check out my portfolio here: davidruvinskiy.com.

@BobWilliams Sorry to hear things are not going so well, Bob. But yes, it's better to talk about it than to hold it in and let it fester. Hope things improve.

At my end, I was woken up by dang neighbours (or their guests) and can't go to sleep. Will try again in a bit. No biggie. But just up later than usual.

Quick reminder that my current job is killing me so share my resume and help me find a new one before I literally die from the stress of 50+ hour weeks.

@BobWilliams Work is always a good distraction ... unless of course, it's work that you need a distraction from 😛

@tivasyk Thank you 🙂

@BobWilliams Sorry to hear that. Been a bit too caught up in a few things at my end lately to catch up on your posts ... Did notice that you had a bunch of stuff happening but didn't know what. Hope things calm down though. Sending good vibes your way 🙂

@BobWilliams Thanks, Bob 🙂Hope you are doing well?

I wrote my first novel over 20 years ago. Then I got busy with work and life and didn't write for the longest time. Finally, my second novel is out today. It's a science fiction novel called "Sir Lanka Files" set in a future Sri Lanka thousands of years from now.

The book is on Amazon here:

Please take a look and if you like what you see, please share with your friends who might like it too and help an indie author out 🙂

Refreshed my writing portfolio with some samples. Happy to chat if any indie folks would like a bit of freelance narrative/writing.

I'm great at lore, world building, juicy flavour text and unique characters.

Happy to say a piece of flash fiction I wrote " The climb" has been published in the Fairfield Scribes anthology.

A friend and I started a #network #engineering consulting company, I’d be grateful if you helped spread the word!

I just turned in my #thesis for my MSc in #ComputerScience with #DataAnalytics at #UniversityofYork!

The title of my thesis is “Exploring the impact of data imbalance on ε-Differential Privacy” and I do just that using the open-source Python library developed by IBM, diffprivlib. I’d love to share the results of my experiments in a white paper of some kind. Does anyone I’m connected to have experience in converting a masters thesis into a white paper for a journal or conference?

New Server; New #Introduction

I'm Daniel, I've been involved with activism for most of my life, and I have a life-long interest in the intersection of technology and class/privilege.

I live near the sea -- but not too near -- in Midleton, a small town in Ireland.

Parent to four kids, 75% of whom are now adults, and half of whom are attending University (which is *astonishing* as I'm still only 25...)

I love #reading, and try to post about books I love, which are usually Science Fiction and Fantasy. #amreading

I autodelete all my posts after 60 days.

I've been on fedi since 2011, have used #mastodon since April 2017.

Hello, new Mastadon server! I've migrated for the second time. It's been a while since I posted - off doing other projects, such as writing and publishing another scifi novel and teaching programming (circuits in Rec Room), but hopefully I will be around more. I used to do some AI-generated images for writing prompts. I've also been researching city planning and architecture for another book. I really like the clean, Japanese esthetic. I'm also a programmer, emphasizing databases, using whatever language best fits the task. I'm also currently teaching myself Rhino (3D software). My website has a lot of random and interesting things (linked in profile).

@codemonkeymike Which Linux distro do you use?

My biggest issue is my dependence on a few apps. I've been slowly switching over my personal apps to Flutter so that they can run on any platform, but I haven't tested them on Linux and don't really know how well Flutter apps work generally in Linux. But once I have all my personal apps converted over, I will (hopefully) be free 🙂

The first OS I used was DOS (well, if you don't count the Sinclair ZX80) and then I moved on to Windows. Then in 2009 I switched to macOS.

I found the hardware and software as trouble-free as could be and so I've stuck with macOS till now. But now, given Apple's current direction, I have been thinking since WWDC that it is time to switch again. Question is, to what?

I see people online who talk about how they'll never switch away from Apple for whatever reason. Good for them. I have no such compunctions. I will switch if the OS (or the company) no longer aligns with what I want.

I have been running both Linux and Windows on secondary machines for a while because I knew this day was coming. From a purely software perspective, given that it has the most software and supports most things I currently run, Windows seems to be the choice. But I'm not absolutely certain.

But it looks very much as if my next computer will not be a Mac.

#Apple #macOS #Windows #Linux #OS #Switching

Being an #Apple user in 2024 is basically:

- I LOVE their hardware.
- I’m AFRAID of what they’ll do to their software and operating systems.
- I’m DISGUSTED by everything else they do to developers and users like myself.
