If your company is failing to meet goals and you know it, your PR department can keep the wolves at bay for some time.

I've always written and doodled with fountain pens since high school (cough, ahem the early 80's). My go to cheap and cheerful fountain pen has been the Parker Vector[0], it's not expensive and is really nice to use.

I did for a while (12 years) own a Waterman Carene[1] which was gifted to me by colleagues when I moved on to another job. To my great sadness and annoyance I lost it in a house move. That was a really nice writing implement if perhaps a wee bit top heavy if you left the lid on the other end.

After losing that pen I bought another Parker Vector and it's done me just fine ever since.

I second the Luigi recommendation. Republic Wireless uses it for all of our data warehouse ETL, and it's been fantastic to work with.

I also second the other comment that recommends starting with basic data extraction rather than diving into Hadoop or Spark immediately. Sure, at some point, you might need to process 100 billion lines of data. But in your average business, you're far more likely to be working with thousands or millions of records on customers, sales, orders, invoices, sales leads, etc. That stuff doesn't need Hadoop/Spark, it needs a Postgres database and a DBA with a good head on their shoulders keeping everything organized.

In my experience, government data sets (particularly demographics and other geographically-related data sets) are a fantastic way to get your feet wet with data processing. They're published by a bunch of different agencies, so they're not necessarily conveniently available in one place. However, they usually use standardized identifiers for geographies, which makes it easy to join the data sets together in new and interesting ways.

For instance, here at Republic, we recently used Form 477 data on wireless broadband availability from the FCC, data from Summary File 1 of the US Census, and a couple of Census geographic crosswalk files to be able to calculate the percentage of population in given zip codes and cities covered by various wireless carriers. That required reading the docs for several different data sources, automating some downloads, building database tables to hold all of the information, and then carefully crafting some SQL to pull it all together.

Of course, government data sets generally won't require a whole lot of automation (they're updated yearly or less than yearly, not daily). To build your skills on that front, I'd recommend learning to extract data from various APIs, structure it in a meaningful way, and make it available in a database. For example, if you have a website, set up a free Google Analytics account for it, then build a daily ETL that extracts some meaningful information from the Google Analytics API and stuffs it in a Postgres DB. Then see if you can build some charts or something that sit on top of that database and report on the information.
Really Elon Musk has struck me as honestly in need of psychiatric help - not in a derogatory way but a sincere one. Between the outbursts, shortsighted impulsive decisions, and well being CEO of so many different companies at once it sort of resembles some combination of ADHD and Bipolar.

Not that person, but what put me off arch is that they aim to provide "vanilla" packages, which means I have to configure everything on my own.

Their wiki is becoming less useful too with their idea of providing less step by step and they want you to read everything and figure it out. Again fine for learning but sometimes you don't want to spend the time.

I've spent some time building small open source USB devices, I went through a "let's just use the PCB to make the USB plug" phase but frankly they're not wonderfully reliable, I'm not a fan, and actual USB plugs are cheap and reliable (you do need to use one that has thru-hole lugs to be robust, not just surface mount which is an extra manufacturing step).

I imagine attraction is a non-trivial function of multiple variables for most people. As such it doesn't seem that surprising that for some certain variables have more (or less) influence than for most others.

On a somewhat related note, I truly cannot imagine why anyone would put jelly on a peanut butter sandwich. The thought seems utterly gross to me. But as long as I'm not forced to eat it, I no problem with others having a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Why should I?

An almost 2h talk which is very worth it for everyone who has an interest in minimalism, simplicity, performance or anyone who has a feeling there is something wrong in software.

Casey's complaint is basicly that there are several million lines of code between an application and the hardware. This creates a large problem surface i.e. performance/security/complexity. In addition, the current hardware is so complex that an software/os (r)evolution is not possible.
Casey suggests an SoC+ISA and vastly simplified interfaces for SATA/USB/NICs/etc. Which would make it feasible to ship custom OSes with just a few 10 thousands lines of ASM/code.
Downside is that this would require interest from chip/hardware vendors.

I lack technical depths regarding hardware and OSes, but I like that idea very much. Shrinking the OS parts to comprehensible sizes would vastly change the landscape. Programming computers would be so much more interesting if a single individual could grasp all of it.
UI Breakfast Podcast. Episode 18: Staying in Flow
> With the release of Python 3.6, it became clear that Pylama was in need of maintenance updates. Python 3.6 warned that async was about to become a reserved keyword in Python 3.7.

I can imagine there must be lot of code bases with async as variable name. For example:

async = True

This is an error in Python 3.7.

>>> async = 1
File "<stdin>", line 1
async = 1
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

But this used to run just fine without any warning or issues until Python 3.5.

So now any code that uses async as a variable name would break. So is Python 3.7 considered a breaking change that is not backward compatible?

First off, I am not certain it is such a bleak personal experience to work for these companies, an engineer friend at Space X HQ is usually pulling around 40-50h work weeks, which seems sustainable if a little intense.

Some industries operate under almost continuous crunches, the video games sector is notorious for this, and it might be that this is the case here too, and that my friend is just lucky to be on a team that is spared being overworked. It doesn't matter that people work on something they're passionate about, at a certain point it gets too much for anyone. I also got close to a burnout, and I did learn important lessons about managing my work life balance, working passionately while avoiding toxic stress, etc [wrote too much personal stuff, pasted under].

To get back to the point though, I wonder whether I would be able to remember these lessons and manage my work-life balance correctly, if I thought my work was as world changing as what Tesla and Space X are doing. I am deeply grateful that people like Elon Musk and the many others in these companies are willing to make decisions that might deprive them of time with their loved ones, potentially affect their health too, to bring such a change about.

I mean, the overarching goal of Space X to make life multi-planetary might seem like PR fluff to some, but I agree that we will extinguish ourselves if we stay on one planet. I would prefer that governments pool resources and achieve this public good through public means, as I find dangerous that a private company might end up having a monopoly on affordable space access. However, our governments fail on this and can't even agree on curbing climate change effectively, though it is a much more obvious danger, so I can only support Space X in their endeavor, and wholeheartedly wish them success.

[the personal stuff] I once worked 6 months without a single day off (work weeks of about 90 hours), which to some may appear like a manageable amount of stress, but I was in my early 20s and didn't know how to do this properly. We did make our deadline and things that needed to happen in that time frame did, but after it, lo and behold, the cough I'd had for a month for no apparent reason suddenly stopped. Good that it did too, as my throat was so irritated I was coughing a bit of blood in the end. Sorry for the gory detail there, but just to point out that being overworked does have some very real and physical repercussions, besides also leading to painful life choices. Not realizing my grandfather was in his final days when he was admitted to the hospital with a bad cough, and not getting there in time to say goodbye, is my personal low point in this regard, and something I have regretted ever since. I wish I hadn't needed to make such a terrible error in judgement to learn this lesson, but I did not make this mistake again, and prioritizing family and friends over work, however important whatever task or deadline might seem in the instant, is something I very much kept it mind since. It has made me much happier, and hasn't negatively impacted my work output in any way I can measure.
I worked in that field a number of years. My recommendation to you is to start with some form of data that you are passionate about. Baseball statistics, business metrics, investment figures, whatever.

Once you have the data, then figure what you're going to do with it. (Don't agonize over it, this should all take just a day or so.)

Then go after the toolkit. You'll find many interesting questions if you start with the end goal in mind.

Good luck, and have fun!

Panasonic makes a 3400mAh 18650, NCR-18650B, which is very similar in volume and 2.62x higher capacity, ~2.55x higher density than the 1998 17670 cells. Not to mention we also have power density-optimized cells now. High performance DIY drone batteries are available that are 4 cells in series, 14.8-16.8 V, 1300 mah, about 150 grams, and can deliver 100+ A (1500 W), and be recharged hundreds of times before significant degradation. 5 years ago, a similar sized package could've delivered maybe 50 A peak, and it would degrade much faster, only lasting a few dozen cycles at that load before losing significant (20%) capacity. They would "puff" and overheat much more easily.

They could set more realistic growth/production goals. I’m not sure if it’s financially viable to do so, but the “normal” way of growing production from zero to several thousand cars a week is the pace that VW and Toyota did it - over say 50 years. This idea of taking companies from zero to massive within less than several decades of organic growth I think is doomed unless you accept a lot of burnout (which you shouldn’t).

So you are buying into the 19th century idea that sexuality is some immutable property - a person is either gay straight or bi, and this cannot change throughout their life.

Given that the research in the article seem to falsify this theory of sexuality, I think you should provide a better counterargument than just restate the apparently falsified categorization as a fact.

There seems to be a rather simple solution. Trials must occur within four weeks. Prosecution is not allowed extensions to this so long as the accused is charged with a crime and in custody or released on conditions. Any charges not tried for within thirty days are automatically dismissed, expunged, and the defendant paid compensatory damages out of the prosecutor's budget. Defendants may petition for limited extensions on the explicitly defined grounds of preparing a defense.

This will obviously never happen because it's far more lucrative to draw trials out for years.
