What brotchie and petervandijck said, also:

* Put some effort into the design. Writing plain HTML while also indicating you have run a website and have front-end experience might seem contradictory to a potential employer. A nice font, simple layout and basic responsiveness would go a long way.

* A startup exit, even if small, is a considerable achievement. Consider adding "Acquired by $COMPANY", or if not at liberty to disclose the company name, something like "Acquired by large German corporation".

* Add contact information. If I were to stumble upon your CV online and be interested in hiring you, I should not have to spend time Googling for some way to contact you. Listing your email in the footer is sufficient.

* I assume not getting your degree yet is because of a few pending courses - no need to mention this here. You did the majority of the work and actually completed a thesis project. When you are invited to an interview, disclose it there.

* Some of the stuff you list (machine learning libraries, contributions to poker theory) sound really interesting. Is there anything you could link to here? Blog post, Github, etc.

There are many differences. Here's my take on it: http://cfenollosa.com/blog/bots-lack-metaphors-and-that-is-t...

- Tech is ready for realtime natural language processing

- Developers are getting bots right.

- Plenty of APIs to build task-focused assistants

- VC money

- Popular demand
So, he hates GTK+ more than he does C++? what does that tell us about GTK+?
That's quite normal, because the market today is much larger and diverse. e.g: It doesn't make any sense to build web apps in C or C++ and this type of software is very spread nowadays but was virtually non-existing back then.

The interesting question is what will mobile devices, the IoT and embedded devices in general be programmed in? C and C++ are popular choices today, so the trend is not really "unmistakable".

You can do a part-time PhD; I'm living proof of it. But that doesn't mean it's easy or recommended.

I did it while married with two kids, and a third born in the middle. I effectively worked on it part time, because I was consulting at night and on weekends to make ends meet. After my four years of coursework, we returned to Israel; I flew to Chicago 3-4 times each year (at my own expense) to meet with my advisor and make some progress.

These were extremely difficult years for me, and for my family. I was working extremely hard, sleeping very little, and making very slow progress in my research.

Oh, and my advisor didn't know that I was working during my years on campus; if he had found out, he would have revoked my funding and/or have me thrown out of the program.

My wife and children were very supportive in every way, and I appreciate that. They even agreed for me to go away for the entire summer to write my dissertation. (Which my advisor didn't even look at until six months later, but that's another issue.)

I'm glad that the author feels good about doing a part-time PhD, but what I did to myself and my family isn't something that I wish upon anyone unless they really want a PhD.

That said, I should note that I'm happy (and extremely proud) to have finished. By the skin of my teeth, perhaps, but I managed to do it.

6TB is about where single machines currently top out due to the hardware constraints of multiple vendors and architecture, and memory bandwidth starts being an issue. You have to throw 96x64GB at the ones that exist so wave buh bye to a cool half a million USD or so. If you're sitting on a 12TB box I want a SKU (I want one!).

I don't actually think Supermicro makes a 6TB SKU, even. That's Dell and HP land.
Up in the Yukon and Alaska plenty of people live in off-grid houses/cabins year round. It's amazing to never get a bill for your house - no water, no electricity, no garbage collections, etc. etc.

Friends have a 10kW system which in summer provides plenty of power for a sump pump for water, a big TV, espresso machine, etc. etc. In the winter they have to watch what they use, and they usually run the generator for a couple of hours a week to keep the batteries at a healthy level.

Q. "I need a way to run some custodial tasks related to the operation of my application, what should I use to accomplish this?"

I think you've just rephrased the question, no? We all know that "run[ning] some custodial tasks" is what a task runner does; but many wise people have expended many words telling you which of these increasingly fancy task runners you absolutely must use, ecosystems have built up around them, and the waxing of one and the waning of another does have a significant impact on the decision-making process.

> These tools didn't just emerge from the ether, they were created in response to specific issues.

I'm not sure people were really desperate to move from "configuration to code" or thought they really needed streams in their task runner before they were told they did, so for me I struggle a little to see what the "specific issue" was that gulp solved over grunt. The movement away from grunt and gulp to npm scripts and even crusty old make(1) is, of course, at least partly in reaction to the added complexity of these task runners - so in a way that's almost like unsolving a "specific issue".

I highly recommend that anyone working with user interface input systems should read this classic paper by Bill Buxton:

Lexical and Pragmatic Considerations of Input Structures

http://www.billbuxton.com/lexical.html

PRAGMATICS & DEVICE INDEPENDENCE

"From the application programmer's perspective, this is a valuable feature. However, for the purposes of specifying systems from the user's point of view, these abstractions are of very limited benefit. As Baecker (1980b) has pointed out, the effectiveness of a particular user interface is often due to the use of a particular device, and that effectiveness will be lost if that device were replaced by some other of the same logical class. For example, we have a system (Fedorkow, Buxton & Smith, 1978) whose interface depends on the simultaneous manipulation of four joysticks. Now in spite of tablets and joysticks both being "locator" devices, it is clear that they are not interchangeable in this situation. We cannot simultaneously manipulate four tablets. Thus, for the full potential of device independence to be realized, such pragmatic considerations must be incorporated into our overall specification model so that appropriate equivalencies can be determined in a methodological way. (That is, in specifying a generic device, we must also include the required pragmatic attributes. But to do so, we must develop a taxonomy of such attributes, just as we have developed a taxonomy of virtual devices.)"

Also check out Proton, which is a brilliant regular expression based multi-touch gesture tracking system, which would work very nicely for VR and multi-device applications. Proton is to traditional ad-hoc gesture tracking as Relax/NG is to XML Schema.

For someone who wants to learn C from the ground up, do you have some kind of learning path or books you'd recommend?
US CS PhD students only spend on average 2 semesters teaching (at Stanford/Berkeley/CMU, the requirement is roughly 2 terms of teaching, at MIT it's 1 term).
Chip designs are usually simultaneously tested in software simulation, FPGA and hardware emulators (basically special purpose super computers that run Verilog or HDL, not quite FPGA speeds but far better debug capabilities, approaching that of software RTL simulation, downside is they cost a few million a piece).

You'll also break a design down into units or blocks. These can be tested separately. E.g. you might see an L1 cache as a single unit and have a testbench (piece of HDL to stimulate and check a design) to test only that. This is useful as it's far quicker than a full design test however extensive full design testing is still required as many bugs you see as the consequence of the interactions between units.

Once you've done a lot of testing you'll tape out a chip. This may well have some issues so you'll do a new 'spin'.

It is interesting how malleable are neural networks.

- you can drop half the connections and it still works, in fact it works even better, during training

- you can represent the weights on as little as one bit, but still use real numbers for computing activations

- you can insert layers and extend the network

- you can "distill" a network into a smaller, almost as efficient network or an ensemble of heavy networks into a single one with higher accuracy

- you can add a fixed weights random layer and sometimes it works even better

- you can enforce sparsity of activations and then precompute a hash function to only activate those neurons that will respond to the input signal, thus making the network much faster

It seems the neural network is a malleable entity with great potential for making it faster on the algorithmic side. They got 10x speedup mainly on exploiting a few of these ideas, instead of making the hardware 10x faster. Otherwise, they wouldn't have made it the size of a HDD - because they would need much more ventilation in order to dissipate the heat. It's just a specialized hardware taking advantage of the latest algorithmic optimizations.

It always struck me more as an engineer rig problem to solve. Sure there's an environmental aspect about divesting from fossil fuels, but the real appeal always struck me as engaging in the romanticism of being off on your own in the middle of nowhere and independent.

Sure making your apartment energy independent doesn't have to the romanticism, but it still has the engineering problem.
> ASIC designs are almost always tested in software simulation instead of on FPGAs. Mainly because RTL written for FPGAs can look quite different from RTL written for ASIC synthesis. There's also a lot incidental engineering work needed to get something working on an FPGA.

It's actually very common to test ASIC RTL on FPGA. You are right that if you are targeting an FPGA you may write things differently, but this doesn't mean RTL written for an ASIC won't work it's just it might not clock as fast as it could and may not make the most efficient use of resources.

There is a lot of engineering work to take an ASIC targeted IP and run it in an FPGA, but thorough verification of an ASIC design is extremely important so it's usually worth the time to bring up an FPGA that can run it (sometimes as it's too large you have to split it across multiple FPGAs).
Functional language programs have to run as interpreted. If compiled they will be too bloated.

Careful there - the compensatory decrease in number of receptors is NOT the same thing as a reduction in the number of neurons. Each neuron will have a lower response to the same amount of dopamine, but the neurons will still be there and will be healthy.

In Parkinson's, a specific group of neurons in the Substantia Nigra (which do happen to be dopaminergic neurons), selectively die off. They no longer release dopamine to their downstream targets, causing the motor and other affects characteristic of PD.

The compensatory mechanism you described is unlikely to cause those specific neurons to die, unless something far more complicated is going on, which you can almost never rule out but doesn't tell us much.

>Some important challenges remain, most notably the washing machine, the bathroom and the laser printer. The problem with washing machine and bathroom is that they're on the north side of the building, far from the solar panels. We could go to a laundromat but there are none in town. A pedal powered washing machine requires space that we don't have.

You could try washing your laundry by hand. It isn't as much work as it might seem if you have never tried it. There must be something magical in the detergent because I can get clothes cleaner than I ever had with a washer back home with little work.

For example, to wash a shirt I just put the water / detergent mix in a basin and agitate the shirt with my hands for a couple minutes. Leave the shirt in the basin for 15 minutes for the detergent to do it's work. Agitate for another few minutes and then hang. First hang in the bathroom or outside for 20 for the shirt to quit dripping and then I put in front of a fan. The shirt is dry within a couple of hours.

Pants can be a bit more work depending on the material. Denim is heavy and eats up the dirt. I do the same as with the shirt but I use a tide bar to spot soap areas which get more dirt (bottoms of the pant legs) and brush those areas.

This does take longer than using a washing machine. But the clothes last longer and get cleaner. You aren't using electricity, buying an appliance and birthing a hung of metal and plastic that you may one day have to dispose of.

One weird effect that doing laundry by hand has for me is that it sort of puts me closer to my stuff. It's too easy to get something dirty, throw it in the washer and forget about it. Hand washing makes me more aware of how what I own also owns me and the energy it takes to maintain and carry this stuff around with me.

Tips for beginning systems and software engineers
If you move internally within a country, sure. But when you actually move country, you'll need to get a new sim (or be charged roaming fees).

I live in Europe, and I've had 4 different phone numbers in the past 3 years.
A bit of context: In Spain, one of the European countries with better sunlight for solar production, some laws were passed recently that make it basically impossible for individuals to resell excess energy to the grid, so selling/buying from the grid on demand instead of using batteries is not really an option.

That's why when we see countries like Germany (not so much sun) going strong for solar Spanish people complain and try to change a corrupt government that passes laws that strongly favors utility companies. Not to say that some of this government relatives work in these utilities.

I am sorry, but it's not. Being car doored is the type of incident where a helmet won't make any difference. For a simple reason, the cyclist hits a car door with his upper or lower body, not with his head [0].

Your words, not mine -- as most of your post by the way. However, there is value in not arriving to your destination sweating or stinking (i.e. going to a meeting, social event, etc). In cases like that it's perfectly fine not to wear a helmet as long as the rider is aware of the risk, and adapts his/her riding style to this situation. Mostly everybody does it in Europe and we're all fine.

Comparing signatures to the back of the card is useless, most people do not sign their marks THAT consistently and it's entirely possible for someone committing fraud to make something "good enough" that would pass casual inspection from a depressed retail employee (my signature varies depending on how tired I am, how quickly I am trying to just get the hell out of the store, how much caffeine I have - or haven't - had that day, etc). Pretty much the only reason they are even ON your card is a place for you to accept the terms of your cardholder agreement (which is virtually useless since every card I've had since I started using credit/debit cards has me accept them during the card activation process or just applying for the card).

EMV PIN's are a crappy solution too, a four digit PIN is all banks in Europe need to consider a transaction "genuine" even though numerous attacks against EMV are already in the wild - makes for great fun trying to reverse fraudulent charges in many stories I've read online.
