Here are some tips for mentoring or pairing/collaborating with fellow engineers:

- Use whiteboards to discuss anything. This way you're solving an abstract problem without being bogged down by implementation (which should be very straightforward once the solution exists on the whiteboard

- Take notes liberally for everyone's benefit. During interviews and other whiteboarding sessions I write "Notes" down on the side with bullet points listing the requirements, keywords, or questions I have for future discussion. Of all the things I do, this gets the most praise from just about everyone: "this over here is really awesome!"

- Ask lots of questions in the beginning so you don't inadvertently make assumptions that they're too afraid to address. Often times it'll take 30 minutes for them to properly phrase it in a way that gives me enough context so I can start helping.

- Do a teach-back afterwards: "we spoke about X, Y, and Z, and tried 1 and 2. We saw that although 1 works, it is too clever to maintain because of A and B, so 2 is a better solution."

I'm surprised .sexy is a tld at all.
Thanks dang. You are correct. I apologize for that incorrect statement. Another moderator (scott) mentioned this to me.

Either way it was a good test of a possible (terrible) feature.

BUT :) Ironically, I can't edit that comment.

PS! Thanks for your hard work!!!

Because the people who sell Cheerios and Volvo's do not want people posting pics of their ads in some camgirl site and annoying the larger audience who don't (admit to) watch porn. Head on over to pornhub, marvel at what must be absolutely mammoth page view counts, and then wonder at the below-the-bottom-of-the-barrel ads that the site is filled with.
That reminds me that The Economist had some interesting material on suicide rates recently: https://www.economist.com/the-economist-explains/2018/11/30/...

In some countries there has been a huge fall in the suicide rate for women. It seems to be correlated with increasing opportunity and independence.

Great, thanks for your help. I'm understanding much better now about how bonds are priced and how it relates to their yield. :)
This looks great. We have a similar stack (Bazel, Terraform, Kubernetes) and have struggled with configuration.

I'd love to learn more detail about how you've use skycfg with Terraform. Do Terraform module definitions drive the proto config (something we've considered)? Or does skycfg generate JSON or HCL? Thanks!
> 'value', 'leverage' and 'resonate'

You could not be more wrong about my perspective though.

My question is from this perspective: I use tensorflow, keras, numpy, scikit-learn, pandas, and Im looking to understand how I would integrate these.
> maybe we have actually gone too far with the critical thinking?

No, because it would be something else than critical thinking. It's like the scientific method, where you can't dismiss any possibility, unlikely as it be, but pursue the most likely explanations first.

Conspiracy theories bizarrely pursue the least likely explanation. Granted, this explanation might be real, but until new data arrives (Assange, Snowden, Manning, etc.) it can't outweigh the simpler ones.

> I'm still sympathetic to the idea of examining whether we should shift the burden of proof for cases with characteristics that are systematically difficult to prove (not in the criminal justice system, of course; I think society-sanctioned state violence does and should have a much, much higher bar for protecting the innocent).

Could you explain this? It almost sounds like you're interested in foregoing proof to decide cases where 'proof is hard'.
Although the author did mention this in the article. I still wonder how much some of these indie games would benefit from partnering with a marketing consultant. Listing a game on steam is basically free marketing for the game. The author mentions only 1% of his sales are from direct sales. I wonder how much having an experienced marketing pro could improve that percentage.
Thanks for this. It really helped.

So if we look at the very long term rates, do those signal that we are broadly confident that the US economy will be healthy long term? Or is there no signal there?
One of the big reasons I love this place ... always find great book recommendations. Thanks for that and the insight!
Long-time programmer without a CS degree here. I've studied polynomial factoring, adding, subtracting, graphing them, etc. Sites like Khan Academy break things down in little bits but the underlying theory seldom emerges. But after working through the preview pages of this book I feel like I finally have a feel for some of the underlying theory ideas behind polynomials. This really emerged during the proofs section. The bits of code and analogies to programming really help. It was like a lightbulb going off in my brain. As a result I have ordered the book from Amazon and can't wait for it to arrive. Thank you for this book.

Sometimes books speak to people having certain lifstyle and experiences and culture. We are not part of that anymore so they suck to us. But, being for someone else is not necessary lack of merit. Whether it was pure enjoyment or something more people took from it.

There are bad books nobody liked at time and never again. But when seemingly bad book was popular, then it likely filled some need or said somethig they wanted or needed to hear.

Another interesting thing about the metrix in that answer. If you invert it, the rows become the coefficients for the plane equations of the faces. You also don't need to fully invert it - IIRC the adjoint is sufficient.

Personally I'm all for government suppled morphine. Pure, set & clear doses, clean needles. Would save a ton of money (and you know save lives but there is a lack of compassion on this issue)
I thought I addressed perspective in my post. In addition often all you have to do to change your perspective is go to another continent.

There's also an element of survivorship bias. The Antikythera Mechanism, while not a book, is amazing, yet it and devices like it and its instruction manual didn't survive through the ages. Many books on the minutiae of the regiments and classification of angels did.

>Other than as you mentioned, the huge amount of eyeballs on all of their library content which you just won't get anywhere near close to.

We should have had search engines like google for games.

Browsers these days have a payment API and stores the users credit card details which can be used on any website.

>There's also the distribution and update mechanisms which are such a huge win for the customer as well as developers.

This could have been done without centralization similar to how package managers work, the games repo would just be added to your client and downloaded from that.

So I guess I could put it yes valve has added value from what there was before but its totally possible to replicate all the value easily without centralization.

It could be worse - they could be fascinating, but entirely irrelevant to the modern world view.

My dad had a cache of books from a friend of his - that was collected from the pre-independence era for India from 1920s to 1945.

The world in those books were strange - the era looks like nothing like the world from my text books.

The "Great war" had just passed ("between cousins"), there was wistful memories of the Russian empire, of china being conquered by the japanese.

Oil empires in Burma (Burmah-Shell), political deals with the Kings of Siam, health of Austro-Hungarian royal inbreeding.

The shades of gray in which Belgian kings and Cecil Rhodes got painted as conquerors ,liberators and genocidal maniacs in one go.

All the important intellectuals are German (Kant, Hegel ...) or French. The world "lingua franca" was used to describe what English stands for today.

America was busted and fallen down, the economy under Hoover (who was called an "engineer, digging deeper into pockets"). They had poor quality cotton (remember, Indian British books - the Deccan plateau had Cotton too & the empire had Daka muslin) and a "department of war".

Is from such an amazing period of time, after fax machines, aero planes and Einstein, but before anti-biotics and nukes.

But other than as a curiosity, the whole collection has been obsoleted by the 2nd half of the century.

SSC Book Review: Evolutionary Psychopathology
Form and function here are fundamentally interrelated. How you design your public spaces affects how effectively they can be used. A good public space should not only be well planned, but also appealingly designed, in order to attract users.

Consider a library.

If designed well, it can use its street frontage to give views in through windows to show activities taking place, and make it clear to passers-by that they are welcome to come in and use the space.

If designed poorly, it could have a sheer concrete street frontage with no views inside, that obscures what the space can be used for, or even what spaces may exist inside.

I got downvoted for this comment, but wanted to mention after the fact that today tumblr just announced they'd restrict adult content on their platform...
While it is true that more has been discovered about relativity since Einstein's time, that doesn't mean there isn't value in reading Einstein. When you approach an idea which is new to you, it's good to read something written for newcomers. When Einstein wrote, everyone was a newcomer. As such, his work is remarkably approachable considering how difficult the subject is.

While now I tend to think about special relativity using Minkowski space (which I find to be the easiest mental construct for me), my 12-year-old self found all that stuff in Einstein's Relativity about trains and clocks very helpful in building intuition about relativity.
True, you need to erase and re-write items to prioritize tasks—that may or may not be a downside. Haven't found an elegant app that does this smoothly. I use a simple Markdown file or paper, sometimes both. The truth is apps often become a distraction. Simple systems like this may work better on paper. The material presence of paper makes your list more tangible, plus you get the little satisfaction of striking through things as you progress through your list. Maybe re-ordering and writing the same items over and over is a good thing too as you'll notice important tasks if they are due for too long. It works well in combination with the Eisenhower matrix, as it also keeps things simple and visual.
For whatever reason, if people are optimistic about the market, the yields are higher long term versus short. (You need to get paid more interest to hold a 10 year bond than 2 years because you assume the rates go up)

The general reason people think rates will go down in the future is if a recession is coming, and the govt will lower them. In this case the rates may high for 2 years, but lower long term. (The 10 year rate is just a weighted average of interim rates)
What would you think of a Facebook alternative that was the same, except it shows you content only based on who you're around most frequently (using GPS tracking or check-ins). That way your friends in real life (who you actually spend time with) match what you see of your friends' activity online.
