Zookeeper is industry standard? I guess that explains why it's such a mess.
Yes, I agree with you, gxs.

We need more research, and complete facts, as you said. I didn't even read the whole article, but I know it's a regional fact (title says Colorado).

I'm sure that Marijuana has many greater goods, since it's basically a plant. We could use it on to solve medicine problems, or pharmaceutical solutions, and even cloth.

But this isn't being applied to the whole world. Marijuana is still considered a "bad drug" in other countries/states (alcohol and other medicines are "good drugs").

So, I'm not saying that this article has a good research. But I believe the more studies you have, the better.
Wadler's introductory Haskell course at Edinburgh doesn't cover monads, but it's great. I don't want to use scheme because I want students exposed to a decent static type system. There's an argument to be made for using standard ml, maybe.

I think the fact that strings are linked lists is great for beginners. One of their assignments is on web scraping, where they can reuse all their list based functions to solve the problem.

I am not too keen on Haskell's polymorphism for teaching beginners, and error messages are mostly useless for them. If I were teaching again, I would be recommending custom preludes with simpler types.
Go work in France and enjoy a 35 hour workweek and you will have enough time for your side project after work.

Bonus point if you find a job in the public sector you can probably code on your side project at work and after work ;-)

Forget Silicon Valley pay though.

Or if you're really frugal you could live on social benefits and be totally free of work.
I had the same thing in that it was always an issue of motivation. Try to find something to draws you in. For me this was special relativity and its implications. Time dilation in particular felt like something that could not be what it seemed after covering the basics using Wiki/YouTube/etc. So I picked up an introductory book on it. I'd highly recommend Spacetime Physics: Introduction to Special Relativity by Taylor/Wheeler. It's extremely well written and just as importantly has plenty of problems to test your understanding. And it was even more fascinating, and bizarre, than I initially thought. From there everything becomes much easier to get into simply because of that intrinsic motivation of awe and wonder.

After that I turned to more 'big picture' stuff to try to at least get a survey of the breadth of knowledge. Like you mention the Feynman Lectures are great for this. You can also find them online [1] which may be more convenient. "A Brief History of Time" is also a phenomenal big picture look at cosmology, which is my current primary interest.

Perhaps the best resource of all, and what I'm currently working through, is Leonard Susskind's "The Theoretic Minimum." I first saw this as a book. It's essentially a physics overview intended for those with a solid mathematical background, but without much formal education in physics. The book is excellent, an even better resource for this is the site [2] for it. It has extensive coverage and lectures on all major topics. The only downside is the lack of questions or material to test your understanding.

Ultimately, I think the most important thing is to find something that draws you in. From there everything is easy. Take a weekend sometime and really dig into something that fascinates you. Time dilation in general, the twin paradox, black holes and their funkiness at the event horizon, the two slit experiment in quantum mechanics, etc. These are all things with massive amounts of information available that can really draw you in.

I’m interested in running Lisp web applications inside of Apache web server, for example with mod_lisp or through cgi-bin, although I’d prefer the former, simply because Apache has modules for many other functions as well. Unfortunately, what documentation there is on mod_lisp isn’t step by step to get from point A to point B.

I wasn’t aware of Hunchentoot.

> It worked, but remains to this day an unmaintainable mess.

The question is: is it a worse mess than if you'd have started without the spec? My intuition says "no", and the experience the users gained regarding formal thinking is a huge net benefit that will be an asset for years to come.
I just recently learned about some stupid things going on at an oncology practice I work with - for new patients they receive faxed charts from other practices, and they're regularly 250+ pages.

Even if we get them set up with some form of HIPAA-compliant secure file transfer service I'm not sure how well it'll work because while I can train and work with the people at that practice, there's not much I can do about the people sending them charts. Best thing I've come up with so far as a quick fix is setting up inbound faxing on their VOIP system with a pool of inbound lines - speed is slower, but they can receive multiple at once and none of them are tying up the main fax line for 3+ hours at a time.

I did read the article, and the reason you gave was "I didn't want to be too rash". Which kind of serves my point. You wrote a 100,000 word article on quitting Facebook without even quitting it!

You're right though, and my apologies. I found your post grating and it rubbed me the wrong way. I really dislike this recent trend where everything is a Medium article. Oh your startup failed? Better post on Medium. Oh, you're firing people? Better Medium it. Oh, you're quitting social media? Better announce it everywhere. I know you recognise the irony, and mention it as such in your post. But I'm just one random man on the internet, and my vitriol is a reflection of my thoughts, not a reflection on you.
Um, I must be missing something here, because feel like I have a pretty simple solution to why there's only a single rotational reference frame, and this is a problem that apparently eluded Einstein, if I'm to believe your link.

Imagine a spinning glass ball with a 1cm radius doing one full rotation per second. If we draw a dot on its outer edge, at the end of 1 second that dot will have done a full turn. Given that its movement was a circle with radius 1, the distance the dot traveled was 2pi cm, for a speed of 2pi cm/s.

Now imagine that instead of drawing the dot on the outer edge, we drew it halfway between the center and the outer edge (somehow). This would place it 0.5cm from the center. It would still complete a full turn in 1 second, but now its distance traveled would be pi cm, for a speed of pi cm/s.

All this is to show that when the ball is spinning, the different particles it's composed of are moving at different speeds. On opposite sides of the ball, the particles are even moving in different directions. The faster the ball spins, the greater the difference in velocity of the different parts of the ball.

Rotation is inherently about different particles moving at different velocities. This is why there is an absolute reference frame for it: it is defined by these differences, so by reducing them to zero and making every particle in the ball have the same velocity, we can reach the "absolute".

At least, that's what it seems like to me.
About 18 years ago I started typing on a Microsoft Natural Keyboard Elite. That helped a lot with my wrists. Since then I have upgraded a few times but always the Natural range of keyboards from Microsoft. They are a lot cheaper than the Kinesis Advantage and easier to learn I guess. I would love to try a Kinesis though but don't dare for that price :-)
Off the top of my head:

1. The brain only dumps lymph when sleeping. This is how the body removes waste from tissues.

2. The brain actually shrinks during sleep, especially in some areas. This resets circuits so you can create new memories and learn.

3. Studies show that sleep deprivation, especially long term deprivation, results in an increase or accumulation of a couple of proteins associated with the development of dementia.

4. Studies suggest sleep deprivation measurably ages you.
But if so, we don't know how the universe does that, and relativity has failed to settle the matter so far. That's what I got from the article.
I agree. Marriage is for the loyalty. When you are 100% loyal and committed to something, it unlocks a lot of new experiences.

I liken it to a sports team. You can enjoy wins, but when your team wins or loses, you savor it a lot more.

Marriage is not about having more stuff or winning in life. But you enjoy what you have more, and it absorbs the lows in life.

There's also a saying in entrepreneurship - you need a cofounder to get places because it keeps you emotionally fortified when things get bad. Marriage does that function. Marriage lets you bounce ideas off someone. You can do so with a girlfriend or regular friends, but it's not the same as sharing with someone who is equally invested in your life.
I think that most people need less protein than they believe. Nutrition marketing plays on the idea that if a little bit is good, then more is better -- but sometimes less is better. Apparently, the average person in the US already gets twice as much protein as they need.

I'm really skeptical about the nutrition bar industry (and supplements in general).

Alternate solution for the eggs: make a lot of hard-boiled eggs. Store them in the refrigerator. Put three of them in the backpack each morning. Or just eat them at breakfast. Including the yolks adds another ~8 grams of protein. It's quick and easy, and frees one's mind from marketing manipulation.
Makes me think of the story of soviet soldiers training dogs to carry explosives under tanks during WW2. Only they used their own tanks to train the dogs. So when deployed to the battlefield, well...

The article keeps mentioning torrents as a free panacea that disproves the need for decentralized monetized hosting systems, but for some reason no one else ever helped seed the torrent of my encrypted backups when I posted it onto piratebay.
The lifespan is comparable to a cell phone (as in you'll probably break it mechanically before you burn up the CPU). If you're overclocking it and running it hard without cooling, I'd expect it to die after a year. I've never had one break from a cooling problem or any mysterious bricking that might have been cooling. Even when stress testing, they throttle back on their own, and are idiot proof as far as heat goes. The thing that will frustrate you far more is the degraded performance.

And no, if you aren't experiencing throttling, then cooling them isn't giving you any advantages. Marginally prolonging the life of a $35 computer with a $5 fan isn't cost effective- consider that when you have to buy a new one in a few years you will be able to buy more performance for the money or get the same performance for much less. Think about the upgrade from the original Pi to the Pi3, or the cost drop to the Pi zero.
Seeing how this prize, named after the "Father of Swedish engineering", dates back to the 1800's, and is thus older than the Nobel prize, it has typically rewarded engineers from the classical engineering fields.

As such, it's very nice to see a feat almost exclusively carried out in the digital world of software get rewarded, and put right next to accomplishments in construction, metallurgy, etc.

Bandwidth doesn't really matter to the average BitTorrent consumer, I believe that's his point. When did you ever wish to download a file through P2P and you were worried about bandwidth allocation? It's more of a let it run and because it's free on a resource that is already paid (internet connection) it doesn't matter.

I am a but naive with crypto coins for every use. Maybe I am stuck up on my love for P2P but cannot understand why we need the complexity and the ever increasing cost of blockchain to allocate disk resources.
I believe the combination of ICO craze with the hype of crypto as a gambling for this generation created a golden hammer.
Actually it's a pretty specific thing from the work of Carol Dweck: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mindset#Fixed_and_growth

As with any popular technical concept, many users will drop some of the subtleties, and I think 'growth mindset' has gotten big enough that you start seeing people using it loosely to justify various things—but there is something specific and maybe quite useful at the core.
read the abstract, read the conclusion, try to work out what the authors are trying to say.. hunt for the pay off in the paper, see if I can understand that, look for the results and check to see if I can understand that what they claim to show supports the pay off then start reading it. The actual reading can take up to six weeks for a big journal paper.

I agree with you, we're not talking destitute slavery, but why is that your point of comparison?

In my opinion, the average American income should be able to support a family. At least 1 kid and a stay at home parent. That feels like that 30k gets stretched pretty thin in that case.

And if it was an option to make more by working harder, I'd say fine, but I'm not so sure it is. I think you can only make more by working smarter, and thats going to come at an investment of both time and money. Not sure where in the 30k the money would come from.

I'm still not convinced by that budget of yours though.

If you live remote so that your rent and food cost gets down to 500$ and 200$ a month, you'll need a car. Which is itself a 30k purchase. So now you've got one loan already, lets say 200$ extra a month. Then the gas will eat another 100$ at least.

500 rent + 200 food + 200 car + 150 car insurance/maintenance + 100 gas + 100 phone/internet + 100 utilities + 100 medical/dental insurance + 50 media. That's 1500$ already.

Now you need to furnish your appartment, get a laptop, a TV. Lets say you do all that for 5k. And amortize it over 3 years, say you got another loan for it. Now you've got 150$ per month downpayments for that. Now we're at 1650$ a month.

Now with income tax, you only have 2000$ a month, assuming you live in Iwoa. So you're left with 350$.

I feel at least another 100$ needs to be added for clothes and household goods. So 250$ left a month.

At this point, all you do is work, consume media and eat at home always. And your saving maybe 250$ a month.

I feel that's more realistic a budget. Again, I see no room for any dependents, no kid, no partner that's not also working.

So while again, I agree with you, this isn't terrible, it sounds quite unfulfilling. There's barely any wiggle room for any kind of hobby, travel, lesson, etc. And obviously any health issue or temporary loss of job will mean lots more dept will accrue.

Anyways, I think all that would be totally fine if we had cheap or free education and a free or cheap healthcare and a slightly better unemployment benefit. Without that, I don't really see where are the opportunities to make more. You can't afford school, you can't afford to switch jobs, and you can't afford to get sick or old.

But what I am failing to understand is decide which one is that I should choose, like there are plenty of options I like MR, ML & Big Data. But I can't do all. I want to evaluate them before going down a path.

The most important problem with anti-discrimination laws is it is often difficult to prove claims in lawsuits etc. The other problem is that it promotes thinking like 25% of workers has to be woman, which was probably fine for manual labor jobs but not for other kinds. I suggested a compromise limiting the kinds of jobs in which these laws apply.
The Generalization Gap (test/train) seems to me to be quite unsatisfying as a definition, and then an appeal that theory and practice are different doesn't make me feel that anything is explained.

Being able to create new regularisation techniques is impressive though... looks like something that will need a read!

I'm an occasional buyer of (egg-free) granola bars. Frankly, eating from a bag is not nearly as practical or enjoyable (a good mix doesn't taste the same as individually eating ingredients), especially at work or on the move. An alternative would be to make our own bars, but that's often messy, and you need an oven to get a good result. My experiments didn't go well :|
Yes, it would be very nice if operating systems had a sane (let alone user-friendly!) way to properly, thoroughly sandbox userland applications.

It's a large reason why "web applications" became a thing -- it gives you sandboxed remote programs (and easy-access to boot!) Even if the web-browsing sandbox is flawed, it's been a convenient band-aid over a fundamental OS feature that, sadly, still doesn't properly exist.

I think the reasoning is that optimizing the training performance is "easy", whereas optimizing the test performance is "hard". If you can guarantee that test performance will be close to training performance, then optimizing the test performance becomes "easy".

Why do you want to relocate?

To seek out opportunities that are just not available where I currently live. Amsterdam is a tech hub and a center of innovation known for X and Y...

Your last experience?

Not every project can be groundbreaking. My last project actually involved refactoring a large legacy codebase, writing unit tests, etc. Not the most exciting task, but I was able to demonstrate mastery of coding best practices, documentation, etc. which aren’t sexy but are important for any established project.

Why do you want to work in our company?

I'm eager to work on X product/with Y engineer who is respected in his field/with the company that pioneered Z (pick one). If they aren't an innovator, go with I'm excited to work at a big/small/young/established/profitable/growing (pick one) company since it will give me a chance to round out my skill set and contribute as the company opens a new chapter.

Bloomberg paywalls? (I was able to click through the headline and see the article)

Out of curiosity what's Bloomberg's paywall trigger?
If people want to pay for the convenience of a product that doesn't need to be prepared, has a long shelf life, and can be thrown in a purse and survives bumpy rides...then let them.

There is real value in this kind of convenience and it shows because people are clearly willing to pay for it. Yes, absolutely you can just boil a bunch of eggs every few days and take them with you in relatively large hardshell containers everywhere....but when you're running to the gym, going to meet a friend, riding public transportation, running from meeting to meeting at work, going to a concert....I mean...you've got to admit that the RXBar starts sounding better than having $2.
Also, morse code.

I can comfortably send morse code at ~25wpm, approx. 125 characters/minute. ('Comfortably' meaning others can comfortably figure out what I am trying to send)

That equals ~375 hand movements/minute, or 6.25/second.

(Granted, I cheat - I use a single lever paddle and a microcontroller to get the timing exactly right.)

I've heard people going twice as fast, though that's very rare.

However, people more skilled than I can use a straight key at up to ~35wpm or so - that's ~9 taps a second, while also getting the timing just right without the aid of a microcontroller. That, in my book, is very impressive.
I think the nootropics people claim that most green tea has a little bit too little L-Theanine to get the most out of it biochemically, but I'm not sure.

They first extracted L-Theanine from Japanese gyokuro tea, which is green tea grown in shade and it has a lot of the wonder drug, but it's pretty expensive.

Anyway, green tea is great as it is, so it's up to you!
Keyloggers which don't require any permissions, apparently
The trick is to label it “[MSFT] Windows10 Build7600 Source+Assets.zip” first.
Then the code review should said: this function does not match library abstraction level. It should not said: make default search string configurable in settings and while you are at it, refactor settings page. Nobody asked for configurable default search string, customer is cool having it empty.

If your required abstraction level forces new requirements (instead of just forcing code to be moved elsewhere or written differently while keeping requiremnts), then your abstraction is wrong.
