Important point: you may or may not have any control of the number of paid work days you have. The time you save won't trade against the average value of your time, but the rate at which you can trade time for money at the margin. So if you save an hour and spend $30, you wind up behind in cash-flow if you can't monetize your extra time.

And, uhh, most fixed-salary programmers don't have great options for spending an extra hour a week and winding up with more cash.

In my opinion, eating out is definitely a luxury. If/when I get serious about saving more money, cooking my own meals is absolutely the first thing to do.
And shipments from Asia. I recently found something for sale in Australia: $15 plus $10 shipping within Australia. I bought the exact same product direct from China/HK and it was under $4 including international shipping.

I imagine the labour cost is one contributor within Australia. Without volume, no one wants to be doing runs to the post office for a dollar.

With products from the US, I've routinely bought things from Amazon and shipped US-AU and saved money easily - hard drives, memory cards, and even things for which the shipping should make it cost prohibitive like a full-size baby pram.
This is a great resource. I give it to people who need to learn about convolutional neural networks.

However let's keep in mind that the field of computer vision is much vaster than that. Deep learning approaches have been very successful at solving problems in computer vision, but not all of them and not without drawbacks. I believe any course on classic computer vision will give him more insight as to what challenges computer vision aims to solve, how, and what approach might solve what problem.

The parallels with the "Daemon" in Daniel Suarez' novel are scary.

small spoiler ahead

This Daemon is an AI that keeps data of big companies hostage - it will destroy all that company's data if the company does not pay protection money, or if the company involves law enforcement.

Because a lot of companies in the novel don't stick to the AI's rules, these companies go down with the exact same symptoms as Maersk is now having:

- unable to do business
- unclear what happened
- declining stock prices

Passing out by 7 or 8 is rather the point - you sleep a long time and deeply after the sleepless night, waking up with your head in a better place.

I can attest somewhat to the efficacy of the practice; in younger days I did it myself on occasion, and found it often to have the beneficial effect described upthread - as well as, on the day after the sleepless night, an interesting and generally useful upsurge of sidewise and creative thought that tended to produce ideas I could capture and usefully follow up on later, after the sleepful second night.

On the other hand, younger days being now behind me, I'm no longer able to miss a night's sleep and remain awake, much less productive, on the day following. So it goes.

> Many people also pointed to the concept of "fair use," which in certain circumstances lets content creators use other people's work for things like criticism, parody, or satire.

I'm impressed. Ever since Campbell v. Acuff-Rose Music most people, including the press, seem to think that such uses are always fair use. This article got it right by saying "in certain circumstances".

In this case, though, I'm not sure that it matters because I'm not sure that Zillow has standing to sue for copyright infringement. To sue for copyright infringement, I believe you either have to be the copyright owner or you have to have an exclusive license. I'm pretty sure I've seen the same images Zillow uses on other real estate sites, suggesting that Zillow does not have an exclusive license.
>>If you can afford a meal-in-a-box service, why would you not just go to a restaurant where the wait staff will do a decent job as a substitute for your own live-in cook previously known as The Wife?

Oh god - because it would be vastly more expensive than the meal kit service? I've been with Hello Fresh for a very long time now(85 boxes and counting) and the price per meal per person is £5 - you can't eat that cheaply at a restaurant, it's just not possible, especially if you factor in the cost of driving there and parking plus time, it's just a lot more hassle. Even takeaway can't really be had for that cheap, unless you are happy with some really crappy pizza, but then no one will deliver food below the threshold.

And then you have the priceless benefit of actually learning how to cook - when I started I was positively mediocre in the kitchen, now I feel very confident and rarely make something that tastes bad, I would say I definitely know how to cook now.

Even ignoring the price effectiveness of this solution, the benefit of cooking 5 different recopies every week and trying out new things and getting better at cooking is in my opinion absolutely 100% worth the admission cost.
It's the same in Europe. Local online merchants have no way to compete since just the national delivery costs multiple times the net price of a foreign import product.

It's good for consumers, but also means the domestic e-commerce is severely underdeveloped.
Article covering interesting re-purposing of old mines [1].

If you believe in extinction-level global climate change, then another possibility is raised: use the mines as the starting point of new Civil Defense shelters. Except instead of built against nuclear fallout, they are for housing the tens of millions we hope survive and make it to them when our species' inaction enables extreme consequences of catastrophic weather changes. This puts the entire local economies back to work at underground construction, renewing and reinforcing the mines to much higher civil engineering standards, and building them out with dormitories, underground farms, cisterns, etc., for long-term stays. These would be multi-decade projects, and gives us a chance to offer the jobs with strings attached to gradually move out all but a skeleton crew as the build-outs gradually taper off. At best, a massive infrastructure project to re-establish our Civil Defense, that we re-purpose in a few decades as underground business parks and cheap residences. At worst, we actually need to use them if climate change causes mass crop failures or the like.

Here's a quote from a "day in the life" sheet I was sent after a phone interview with Susquehanna. I didn't continue with the job interview for this very reason:

"SIG partners with external caterers to provide a buffet lunch of main courses, salads, soup, and dessert, and it changes on daily basis. So you grab a plate and head back to your desk to eat; it will give you some time to catch up on the latest tech and market news on the net as you eat."
My strategy would be to constantly change "stimulus" to keep my self active and awake. I'd try reading for a bit, then of course I start to go foggy and you get a headache from focusing on the text. Then I'd play video games for a bit, then watch a film, then a documentary, then go for a walk, then do some work.

I found switching activities every 45 minutes or so kept me sufficiently engaged.
This is a fantastic move. In this day and age we should treat "everyone needs to know how to to program" just like "everyone needs to know how to read, write, and do basic maths".

Does everyone need to write code for a living? No, just like we don't expect everyone to be a professional writer or mathematician. But software is so pervasive that within a generation or two, not understanding how it works will put you at a severe disadvantage.

As I said in my other comment, my total cost per meal per person with hello fresh is £5. You literally can't eat that cheaply at a restaurant. Even if you have the cheapest item on the menu and only ask for tap water to drink, it will be more than £5/person, and then you have to include the cost of getting to the restaurant and back. I was going to say that maybe you could eat for less if you were happy with a frozen burger or hot dog, but even cheap pub food will cost you more than £5 per person.

I wouldn't call it defensive. Not overly defensive anyway. Seems like an appropriate response. The guy was needlessly pedantic. His issue wasn't that it was hard to read, just purely that he didn't personally like the font. His best argument is seriously that it's the Ikea font? Really?

I can understand it more when it's a tool or something you use frequently like the font on a phone, but it's literally a few minutes out of one movie.
It's a perfectly valid decision to make, but I have a couple reservations.

First, when you say that it's 100% your dream, I can't accept that assertion at face value. Maybe this is cynical on my part, but the fact that your dream lines up so neatly with our cultural definitions of what it means to be successful is too suspicious to be a coincidence. So my cynical take on it would be that much your dream was given to you by other people, and only a small portion of it is truly yours. (There are rabbit holes here, for sure.)

My second reservation is that it's meaningless to "accept" that something is unhealthy without a solid understanding of the consequences of unhealthy behavior. I can accept the unhealthy consequences of eating a donut, because they're broadly familiar to me (an expanding waistline, elevated risk of heart disease in my future). I know people who have had heart attacks, I know people who are too heavy to comfortably hike the trails I love. But it's meaningless to accept that pouring yourself into your work is unhealthy unless you understand what the consequences are. I have friends who can barely enjoy being retired, even though they didn't really "enjoy" working, either. I have friends who have been depressed and unable to enjoy life for months after project failures. And I know people who have had panic attacks at school or work, panic attacks bad enough to call an ambulance.

There is no definition of free will that everyone can agree on, but in my book, understanding the consequences of our actions, and the ability to change our decisions as our understanding of consequences changes, are requirements for exercising free will.
That's an easy one -- because they don't have to :-)

In some cases, "paying extra" without being asked to might even be compromising your fiduciary duties.

I feel the open source movement has spoilt its "user base" a little. There's very little expectation of reciprocity. Sometimes even outright hostility toward OSS modes that try work with reciprocity (check out the linked HN thread above).

This mindset might be hard to reverse at this point. As with all "communal sharing" experiments, the true crunch time comes as the economic reality sets in.

Why is it so unimaginable that people can just live with all those parentheses? The only parenthesis-related fragment in my .emacs is the following:

Like with most things it's just a matter of practice and knowing what to look out for. Same as with birds or leaves or whatever.

Firstly, is it serif, sans-serif, handwritten, monospaced etc? This will narrow it down, but distinguishing between similar fonts, such as Arial/Helvetica, Avenir/Futura, Garamond/Caslon etc. requires looking at individual characters.

Lots of characters don't change much between typefaces and can be hard to identify at small sizes, but others can change a lot so they're the ones to look out for - including the lowercase g, uppercase Q and ampersand &.

Is the g double storey or single storey? Open Sans and Noto are identical except for the g (Open Sans is double storey).

What's the tail on the Q like? Does it cross the circle, is it curved or straight? Open Sans and Droid Sans are identical except that the tail of the Q is curved in Droid Sans and straight in Open Sans. (Also the uppercase I has bars in Droid Sans).

Arial and Helvetica can be told apart by looking at the lowercase t. Arial's t terminal is at and angle whereas Helvetica's is horizontal. Also the terminals of the uppercase S are at an angle whereas Helvetica's is horizontal.

In theory the company can instead hire trained employees whose training is paid by the other companies, and not invest anything to train their own workforce. And that ultimately leads to no company investing into training, other than the bare minimum.
