I am in the exact same situation - I am trying to get into machine learning from being a web developer so I am learning a lot of new things too.

After months of not finding time to do courses online, I've been studying between 5-7am for the last couple of weeks.
Previously I would wake up, go straight to work, come back home tired and waste time on Netflix before going to bed.
Now I spend less time for entertainment after work and sleep sooner because I have to wake up early.

This may not help you but thought I would share my experience.

Edit: Reading your question again and looking at the other comment, looks like your question may not be about time management so this may be irrelevant.
Bulma is easy to understand and very fast to start using.
Not sure why you're downvoted, this is a very interesting talk.

Completely agree. If you're on Windows and still using ConEmu give Terminus a try.

For new entrepreneurs that would like to consider hiring fresh non-US grad students out of school, what are the typical costs and process to “get them through the door”.

Honestly, the only thing the use of FUD like this headline has done is to continue to put me off of the FOSS community.

Back in the '90s, it used to be big companies like MS that used FUD against FOSS. Now the FOSS community uses FUD against everyone else. FUD is bad no matter who spreads it.

Hint: If your argument is "don't use our competitor, or else", you are engaging in abusive monopolistic behavior, and it gives me reason to believe that if you actually manage to destroy your competition, you will not hesitate to abuse your newfound monopoly.
Everyone who knows anything about aviation thinks the pilot has to be ready to take over at a moment's notice and be constantly paying careful attention to what is happening in front of the plane. Autopilots merely lower the pilot workload. Even with the autopilot engaged, the pilot is still actively flying the aircraft.

This is where the ACLU should spend their time and effort rather than their political meanderings. This is politically neutral, it affects everyone and Americans should enjoy some basic rights in this realm. Govern how private entities use this tech and data.

Oh right! I completely forgot about that reason to blog :-) I think before your comment I've at least one developer who started doing just that.
Fair point. Not sure if I ever turned it on though.
Manipulation and outright lying with the help of photographs is common. A recent example I came across were the (by now routine) claims of independent day events in Poland marred by fascism in Poland. The Western or Western-owned media (80% of Polish media is German-owned) will throw up an image of a tightly cropped image of a few shouting people holding flags of meaning unknown to the Western eye and make frankly slanderous claims in the article. Knowing people who actually attended the festivities can help, and by their accounts there was no such presence and such questions have only provoked quizzical looks. Further investigation revealed that there indeed was a group of protestors, but that it was very small, was present somewhere on the periphery for a very brief period of time, and were not fascists but nationalists (i.e., those who believe in the sovereignty of the nation state, etc, though I realize that fascism and nationalism have been tirelessly conflated by globalists either out of ignorance or malice). In a word, this was nothing but a routine and frankly unnoticeable presence of a group of people most people probably don't even know exist. But now you have people unjustly believing Poland is an emerging fascist state which gives globalists leverage.

Basically, while fake news is a problem, we should not be too eager to believe the corporate and official media that present a simple, comfortable, easy to believe, self-serving narrative to us.

Which is probably why they were integrated into NATO.

They were integrated into NATO for the same reason that Fulgêncio Batista was propped up by the US, or the Iranian Shah, or the guy that overthrew Jacobo Arbenz. That reason is: the US benefited economically and militarily from that situation, and any other considerations (moral, ethical, the well-being of the people, whether it was democratic) simply did not enter the equation one way or the other. Who cares if Arbenz was democratically elected and his land reforms lifted millions out of poverty, the United Fruit Company was making less money for their owners after some inhumane exploitation was outlawed so in comes the US coup, etc etc.

You simply cannot argue morality or democracy when discussing this.
Google (and to certain extent Facebook, and a few other big names) are known to build Chromium-first services. Most other websites works really well in Firefox.
That was my experience also. I took it a step farther and invested some time in using Ansible to configure my laptop which has been great too.

This means if a Tesla kills me in the first 2 weeks I am not responsible since as per your argument I did not had enough time to realize the marketing deception and the actual capabilities of the car, it is not like I was trained like real pilots to drive this specific car model.
I've read that the Office division basically does everything separately form the Windows division because they want total control. Everything. Frameworks, tooling, you name it.
I feel the same way. I used to use my Windows machine for everything and didn't even own a Mac but working on a Mac has been a real joy comparatively, especially for dev work. Now, my Windows machine is relegated to just being a gaming rig and I'm 100% happy with that. When I heard that WSL was a thing, I went back to try and get that setup and, between trying to turn off Cortana, navigating the god-awful new Control Panel/Settings, and the terrible overall performance, I don't know how someone could subject themselves to that in a professional capacity. Windows to me is infuriating and I'm pretty technically proficient. I feel bad for the droves of users that end up on it and don't have a choice, especially those that aren't technically skilled. It's just bad now.

Yeah, that is incredibly frustrating. It seems to me that many of these types of scams target general consumers, piggybacking on legitimate app's names to get a few thousand people to pay a buck or give you some personal info, etc. These instances that target developer tools have the potential to do a different kind of damage to peoples' livelihoods.
I could've sworn just a few days ago I saw a story about MS working with the government for such things.

The all day interview process selects for a kind of person who is confortable with arduous processes. With poor scalability.

IMO any team with an SLA should be avoiding these people like the plague, because they will tolerate bullshit manual processes that take all day. They have no motivation to make foolproof automated processes with good visibility and repeatability. The smartest of them will fight attempts to change the status quo because the status quo makes them look good and everybody else look like idiots.

Three of my favorite bosses were from the Fire All Heroes school of management. Two actually gave a speech to that effect in front of the entire engineering dept. They helped me get out of the hero racket.

It’s great to be needed. But it sucks being the bottleneck.
> Basic of color theory

Time for me to rant about how pointless and useless "color theory" is beyond the obvious things like red is for errors and green is for success. It's just a bunch of non-sequitors where people take random facts and then apply them after the fact on particular designs.

Things like trying to design using colors from swatches or using colors based on their position on the color wheel are examples of what not to do because the ideas behind them are often misunderstood and therefore poorly applied.

And don't even get me started on color psychology. For example, they'll take some fact like a lot of foods aren't blue or that some mould is blue and then say that's why you shouldn't use it for food related designs. Which is rubbish because you definitely want a nice blue for things like blue cheese, or for water related stuff. I could easily see someone thinking that having a picture of the ocean on a menu or part of their advertising is bad because of these silly articles even if that's their restaurant theme. It's not just about the color, but the overall design.
> It was an extreme hassle anytime a new driver came out and blew away some config.

Your distro's fault. Never had such a problem with Arch but I remember I had it with Ubuntu, albeit so long ago I can't say it's still a problem.
Here's another example.

Did you read about the case where the driver was sleeping and the car did not stop because it did not realize it? Do you think this is a feature?
Nick Thieberger has a nice comic[1] which I think captures my sentiment about this.

I think techies like us severely underestimate how much of a turnoff it can be to begin someone's computer programming experience by making them schlep through an arduous installation and configuration process. You can promise them "really, we'll just get this right once, and it'll all be over", but that doesn't change the fact that this is their first encounter with programming, and that it will therefore have an incredibly disproportionate impact on how they conceive of the task and experience of programming.

On a first date, would you interrogate your date about their likes and dislikes, childhood trauma, and insecurities? It's probably not entirely wrong to claim that this would pay off in the long term, but there is a good chance that this would strike the wrong tone and prevent a second date.

A coarse metaphor perhaps, but there are some parallels. Imagine hearing someone tell you "You, too, can be a digital magician, and bend computers to your will", and then spending 1 hour bashing your head your keyboard trying to figure out how this Anaconda thing works (I thought I was using Python? What's Anaconda? Is it like Python but different?). If I were in that position again, I think I'd begin to wonder whether this is what programming is always like, and probably wonder if I want to do this after all.

Certainly, as we all know, programming does always involve a great deal of resilience in the face of unsexy unfamiliarity, but there are transcendental moments when you look at what you just brought into the terminal and marvel at how this ever came to be possible, and I think trying to give a taste of that to people in a first encounter with programming with a minimum of pain leading up to it is the best way to make them so excited about programming they'll be willing to continue learning, and yes, set up an IDE and Python installation.

I did, and realized that I'd spent all this time that was meant to be for writing on coding / finding cool tools / setting things up. Guilt overpowered the fun in this and I threw it all away and just installed Wordpress. I still play with the tech, but in a different time block, away from the writing itself.

What about the killings and other atrocities committed by Putin's oligarchy? What about the suppression of dissent? What do you think of that, I'm genuinely curious. This is not an attempt to derail, it's that how can "his analysis of murderous regimes be spot on" if he supports Putin?
From what I've read now [0], it looks like AMD still uses 2 x 128bit AVX units to execute AVX2 instructions. Also, AMD is always coming a generation behind Intel in terms of FP instructions sets, so Zen doesn't support AVX512.

According to WikiChip [4], Zen 2 actually has 256 bit FPU paths. I was unable to find a credible benchmark for Zen 2, so I can't talk about its performance. However, when analyzed from the perspective I've given below, it's not hard to assume that Zen 2 is a heavy hitter in terms of floating point performance.

However, the interesting part is, when you look to SpecCPU 2017 FP Rate [1], AMD Epyc 7601 [2] system has a similar per core performance with a much bigger Intel Xeon Platinum 8180 [3] system.

Why interesting?

* AMD's per core base (lowest) rate is 4.1875.
* Intel's per core base (lowest) rate is 4.3482.
* AMD is running GCC compiled code.
* Intel is running Intel compiled code.
* Intel has higher clock speed.

Intel has some CPUs (like Gold 5118, Gold 6148) which have per core base rate of ~5.125. These are the CPUs are considered as HPC processors, and used by a lot of people.

As I said before, it looks like Zen 2 is going to be a better HPC processor than Zen. Zen looks like a very good Enterprise processor now.

So with my hat, I can conclude that not having 512 bit hardware is not a crippling omission.

Addenda: I forgot to say that Intel has something called "AVX frequency". Since AVX, AVX2 and AVX512 has tremendous power requirements when compared to other operations, Intel lowers CPU to an undisclosed frequency. When I last checked, AVX frequencies of Intel CPUs that we use weren't in the technical guides and were not public in any way. So, the peak SpecFP Rate is not very different from the base ones.

Also, since the CPUs thermal budget is very constrained during AVXx operations, other ports' speed is also reduced. So at the end of the day, AVX512 is not a free turbo boost in HPC environments and heavy/continuous loads.

I'm saying "None" in response to needing compilers that compile to Rust, not to rust itself. Basically to boil down my argument, we don't need to compile to Rust instead of C because simply replacing C with Rust should be sufficient. People made "compiles to C" languages because C was not capable of doing everything they wanted easily.

There's a bill from a Kansas republican senator that is trying to remove the country specific quotas for EB2s which will probably benefit the Indian and Chinese people. What chance it might have of passing the senate?
It’s not the opinion that is being downvoted, but the implication— that open source backed by service driven companies is a bad thing. Without the enterprise Linux companies, Linux would likely be more of a niche since developers at their day jobs wouldn’t typically be using it, so you necessarily reduce the talent pool of people willing to contribute or adopt. Also, developing software takes money. WordPress in my opinion is a good model. The idea that for profit support is bad doesn’t seem to be supported by evidence. Look at Swift for example, or Go, or React or Redis. Even Rails gets substantial intellectual and practical support from Basecamp and wouldn’t even have existed if it weren’t for a for-profit company. Many of the great features of Rails came out of a Basecamp business need. Wordpress is similar. Wordpress isn’t perfect, but thank you Automatic for working on it.
What kind of source of a man's life is a granddaughter?

I am in my mid-thirties with 3 kids. Perhaps someday I'll have a granddaughter. It is unlikely that she will have a full picture of how I conducted my life at any stage. What a strange way to support the debunking of a quote. Also, I think his take is mostly wrong.

Writing and editing are two different worlds. The comparison with drunk/sober works. Write with abandon, let the spirits, daemons, or whatever out onto the page. Then go back, with clear, focused attention and sort that garbage out.

Not to say a glass of the hard stuff won't help the process along.
> There's a reason why marginalized communities care about "representation". Seeing people like themselves represented in the mainstream helps a marginalized individual see the path to an advanced level in an industry where they are a minority. It's inspiring.

As a mixed race person, I couldn't care less about representation and find the obsession with it to be very weird. I can't relate at all. I have plenty of role models and their race, gender, religious affiliation, or sexuality means nothing to me.

Whose feelings matter more?
I found a use for it where I did not expect. When I took my first big trip with my TM3 I was on a two lane road in Western Ohio at night, in the pouring rain, on a two lane country road. Speed limit was 55mph and while exceeding it it was not uncommon to get passed.

The problem I faced was the glare from oncoming cars and trucks some not dimming their lights. So I set AP to the task for keeping me in the lane and when someone came at me too bright to see I could focus on the white lane much and the AP screen at the same time assured I was in my lane.

is it perfect, oh hell know. it will do tail of the dragon in North Georgia provided you keep it at the speed limit but it can be a bit sketchy as it likes the center line a bit on two lane roads. I do know its not meant for that but when safe I had to try.

General use I mostly rely on traffic aware cruise control to keep a safe distance and speed and do the steering only letting it steer when fumbling for something in the car.

edit: on tm3 it can be cancelled by tapping brakes or tapping right stalk up. it is so easy to cancel so I do not understand NCAP's issue there. did they not bother to read on how to cancel it?
I disagree. Bootstrap is not that hard and the template wrappers make ui ux much easier for a backend person.
The Emacs default is bright (black text on white background), not dark.

The exception is if you're using it in a terminal, in which case it re-uses the terminal's colors.
>Regulation isn't the same thing as prohibition

True, but it’s almost always the first step in prohibition. Which isn’t to say I think prohibition possible in this case. Just that asking for government involvement is at very best a double edged sword.

Yes, that's who this is for.
Actually if you come to the bay area and just apply to startups... it will lift your spirits by a lot. It's way easier here.
Assuming that they don't fall within exceptional visas for those from certain countries (such as Australian, Canadian, Chilean, Mexican, and Singaporean citizens), the typical options are the H-1B (via the annual cap/lottery) and the O-1. Although initially, F-1 students get 1 year of OPT (optional practical training) and 2 additional years of OPT if they are a STEM graduate and the employer is an "e-verify" company. And really any company can act as a sponsor, even a startup. The focus is on the offered job and the individual's background (less on the company) and if they're both strong, then I think that it's worth pursuing an H-1B. An O-1 - which is a much higher standard - requires a much closer analysis.
