IMO do top down ML stuff and learn the math as-needed. This is recommended by Rachel Thomas and Jeremey Howard of fast.ai as well. There are a lot of great resources for the specific kinds of math you'd need for ML. I personally am self-proclaimed terrible at math ( also had very been schooling ) and was able to ML with not much extra work after their courses. Good luck!
Exactly. A power structure will always exist, and it's generally better (or at least fairer) when it is at least explicit and relatively transparent as opposed to implicit and hidden.
Music, maps and route finding, weather forecasts, password management, calculator, email on the go, library loans, camera, calendar, chats with my friends and family, all on the first page of my phone. I wouldn't want to give it up now.
I once found what looked like an early draft of The Matrix. Instead of body heat being used for power, part of each enslaved human’s brain was used as an organic supercomputer to control the fusion reactors.

I could be wrong but my recollection was that PHP initially became the only way to do dynamic pages on shared hosts since it had "safe_mode". At least at my first host, if you wanted to use cgi-bin, you had to submit it to their admin who would read the code and vet it for safety before installing it. While safe_mode probably didn't actually solve that many problems it was a good enough excuse that it meant that admins could allow arbitrary PHP without too much worry.

The roteness is different than arithmetic. It's rote constraint solving and they don't teach you the algorithm in full generality.
I'm not saying there isn't still some distinct ones out there. I'm saying in there is less variety than there used to be.

variety is the key description I used. Sure there are few outliers still but the rest are just systemd + (apt|rpm) and there this really the same as what Linux was like 20 years ago where even Debian and Redhat were distinctly different from one another. Even Arch has come into the fold somewhat over the years.
I think wireless charging can be great for two reasons:

- hiding it visually, Ikea has done it very well. A cable is ugly, air power is ugly. but if your night table has wireless charging hiding, it is very pleasant to hide cables entirely in your bedroom.

- occasions where you want to be fast. at the office or when going to sleep you don't need to be fast. but in the car I think wireless charging is nice. If you travel frequently, being able to just drop your phone in your car and have navigation and wireless charging instantly is very nice in my opinion. Something like this:

Yes, there is a collateral intrusion limitation. You cannot simply go on a fishing trip.

Once you have an IMEI number that you can attribute to the suspect, having exhausted all conventional means of finding the data then you go ahead and start requesting billing and cell site data.

Note, however, that this won't tell you what ip addresses have been assigned to that account.
> All these diagnostic AIs won't significantly reduce the cost of healthcare nor improve quality.

Thanks but this sounds ridiculous to me. Doctors are people too who really do get paid and really do make mistakes.

Using AI to learn from the best of the best will improve results overall, and automating tasks that expensive doctors did will reduce cost.

Yes we need to handle the exploding and ridiculous administrative costs, but clearly there can be gains on both fronts of this battle.
I am the OP and I am a fellow researcher. I also love my job (most of the time).
One of the reasons I love it so much is that it affords me freedom to think deeply about things that I care about without being in a straight jacket of constant schedules, meetings, two-week sprints or whatever else is prescribed this week by the High Priests of Productivity.

Greatest "productivity" hack for me: having a door that I can close.

My point is that "productivity" is a shallow value, and that turning yourself into a robot will not make you or the world any better.

Speaking of academia, the "cult of productivity" and obsession with status is damaging science. It's not me who says that, it's Nobel Prize winners. For example:

Tinder became impossible for me too. Take a look into Hinge. The demographic is a lot more focussed and fewer people use it. If you at least ostensibly fit the demographic, then you'll have a big chance.

Sadly I had a different problem on Hinge. Lots of dates with physically very attractive girls, but nothing to talk about. That is not necessarily a problem, but it does make things difficult, at least given how I work. Obviously well educated, well connected, stable, attractive and interesting girls (and actually guys) have no need for online dating anyway.

I was left quite confused as to why they were meeting up with me, and I was quite open about my educational background and interests on my profile. It's also not the case that I have a terribly out of this world salary that I could imply or was implying in my profile.

A few years ago I was getting consistent success through Tinder. It was pretty much my main source. Growing up, your age puts you into a different set of priorities which you are measured by.

I did notice a lot of questions recently about my living situation. Personally I prefer to pay less, live with others and save up. I've always preferred independence. However I might now be entering the demographic where it's expected that I pay for a place on my own. I have been pressed multiple times in the past to move into somewhere on my own by girls who would not be able to afford the same for themselves.

The fact stands that Tinder and Hinge give girls easy short-term access to the guy who doesn't even need to save up. Forget earnings, Adonis is a swipe away too. It's either a blessing or a curse depending on where you stand.

However much song and dance either side likes to make over dating, both sides know the deal, and you're not meeting up just to chew the fat. I've decided to cut my losses and focus on other things for now.
When it comes to being accepting of people who distrust and/or don't use mainstream things (like Google/FB) for reasons that sound tinfoil related to laymen the US is definitely in a position of privilege.
Music that still mattered culturally and need some minimal menial effort to consume (and not just overconsume and mostly skip), more adventurous route finding, weather forecasts one could still have (and still be wrong most of the time) back in the day, no need for password management or calculators most of the time (and when one needs the latter, there's Casio awesome calculator watches, liberty from email and chats on the go, real camera for people actually invested in the art and less photo and selfie pollution, --

yep, I'll have that Snake game!
You get what you pay for with Wordpress plugins. There are some great free ones that are mainained.

Then you get ones that can't survive minor wordpress upgrades, or are full of security holes.

The worst is when you have a highly motivated person who throws a ton of them together to buid a website, and then it languishes and becomes out of date, and any upgrading you do will start culling plugins from their baby.
Sex drugs and exercise all rely upon natural or endogenous biochemistry. They may feel artificial but theoretically anyone could feel that way quite quickly, since it is inherently latent in our biology to experience those phenomena.
I was taking ap calculus bc in 9th grade (calculus I). There were 2 other students in 9th grade with me. 6 were in 10th grade, many were juniors or seniors.

I left high school soon after 10th grade started so I don’t know what track I would have been on. But there are tons of overachievers taking on as much advanced stuff as possible in high school. So I think it’s a little unfair to say an advantages student only might be taking calculus I as a senior, because my personal experience and observations don’t suggest that.

On the other hand, what you are saying might have been true a long time ago. My wife’s father is a professional economist and he only took Calculus in college and he’s pretty smart. So I think education has improved in the US in that time.
I use a Sharp 43" 4K tv as a minitor. It is a little on the large side but I have changed how I arrange my windows to cope. Generally I have whatever I am working on take up the middle third of the screen and arrange smaller windows on the left and right thirds with whatever else I need at the time. I usually have mail and slack on the mbp that is driving the screen. I find this to be more productive than the two 1080p 21" monitors I have in the office. Also I got the tv as a refurb from fry's for <$300 so it was cheap if it didn't suit me. It's also a great tv in my bedroom.
The effort of the Academy to create new words top-down (partly) inspired us to make a parodic website: https://bitoduc.fr/

I think french rappers (which are amazing imho) create more words successfully because they have a mechanics for popularizing the new words. They can have a word adopted with one song.

My problem with the Academy is rather simple, if an entire profession use "deadlock" successfully, why complicate things creating a new word like "interblocage"? For technical fields this may brings confusion.
Short Story Dispenser
I also get a lot of joy from all of the things you describe.

The fact that the pleasure you get from sex or exercise feels artificial in comparison to writing a piece of code might be something worth thinking about. Is this really how you feel, or is it how you were programmed to feel?
Jevons paradox is less relevant with energy as you don’t want to heat your home above a pleasant temperature for example. US per capita electricity use has dropped over time with increasing energy efficiency.

Global population increases and economic development are the root cause for this spike.
> Nobody is rigging the system to force one outcome or the other and there are good economic reasons why both can be appropriate and successful in different circumstances.

I would consider myself a capitalist, but you have to be pretty naive to think that corporations haven’t captured our governing class and rigged the system in their favor.

This Wikipedia article makes this point very early as a critique of capitalism, which is fair.
It’s not the state which is the problem, according to my siblings. It’s related to the family of who they might have bought from.

Again, I don’t want to give specifics. I don’t want to spread false certainty about how a legal system I literally cannot read does or doesn’t work.

Many Tech Professionals Don't Think Their Pay Matches Their Value
Very interesting. I once learned some basic statistics about how most people play rock-paper-scissors, and can now pretty reliably win most best of 3 games I play.

I had to unlearn all of that strategy for this, instead trying to guesstimate the statistical model of my playstyle it had developed and subvert it.

The computer and I actually stayed pretty close together in terms of points, eventhough the computer was slightly ahead of me. The number of ties was only a third of the other 2 point values, which tells me it isn't just randomness.
Coding Conversations: Figuring Out Work-Life Balance and Paternity Leave
From an objective view point, it is completely and obviously true. There is no intrinsic quality of humanity that makes our lives more valuable than that of any other organism, or indeed, anything else in the universe.

Which isn't to say that we necessarily should be interacting with the rest of the universe as though everything is human, because... well honestly I'm not sure I can express the concept in a way that it is even remotely likely to be understood, but I think it would suffice to say that we should not fool ourselves into thinking that we are somehow special and preferred by the universe. We may prefer ourselves simply because we are us, but at the same time our concept of self is incredibly expandable. Even within those arguing against parent there are people willing to include non-human species among that definition because they display similar cognitive qualities, and there are humans who would exclude other humans for various reasons. The line is arbitrary and subjective to the point that I make the following assertion: it is entirely illusory, an imposition of our mind's desire to categorize.

“Indeed, the ratio of time spent reading versus writing is well over 10 to 1. We are constantly reading old code as part of the effort to write new code. ...[Therefore,] making it easy to read makes it easier to write.”

I think it is supposed to mean that they do not want to institutionalize that some people are more entitled than others.

It's about basic human values, not about the organization. Of course, some people will be coordinating and some people will be more important than others for the organizational well-being.
I think it is a lot about values, see: https://markmanson.net/personal-values

"For the last few years, I’ve had an idea for a satirical self-help article called, “The Productivity Secrets of Adolf Hitler.” The article would feature all the popular self-help tropes—goals, visualizations, morning routines—except expressed through the exploits of Hitler."

Being productive for the sake of productivity is a fetish here, but not necessarily something fulfilling.

Personally, I do feel the happiest when I am productive. But in my case, the easy part is to focus on things I consider worthwhile, the hard one - being productive. YMMV.
Like the author of the article said, most websites are I/O bound tasks. This is a CPU bound benchmark.
There's an interesting hack that works for a lot of people, including me- I've even included it in Study Swami: Keep a time log. Just log what you are doing throughout the day (I also log when my concentration breaks). You only need to do it a couple of times and, just like a food log when you are dieting, you will automatically power through your distractions because you don't want an embarrassing log entry.

It really works, and in a couple of days you'll likely have your focus back.

I started doing this "how long can I concentrate for" game in grad school in the 80s, and tried it again a few years ago when I was struggling. My concentration span started at a super-embarrassing couple of minutes at a time. In a couple of days I was back in the hour range, and before long it was as long as I needed. These days I, like you, seldom have tremendously long blocks like 4 hours available. But I effectively use what I can.
Google also drops child pornography and copyright-infringing search results.

It's a quality you can dislike, but you'll be hard-pressed to find a search engine with anywhere near the same order of magnitude of quality that doesn't adhere to these rules also. DDG does. Yahoo does.

For a corporation, to refrain from working with the government is to be hounded by the government. That's semi-incompatible with providing services.
Authentication and Authorization with Vue.js Apps Using GraphQL
TV was very mysterious back then. I would not see most of the episodes in a series as I had no way to record anything nor any idea when they were on besides having a TV Guide (which we never bought) or the local newspaper tv listings which got thrown out more often than not. TV was more of a random access experience back then. You got what you got. Saturday mornings were pretty awesome as far as cartoons went, but in some ways they weren't--it felt like not a lot of thought or effort was put into that programming and it was mostly about toy commercials. I watched a shitload of Saturday morning cartoons. I would usually get up at 6am and watch the national anthem which played both verses, and then some goofy local show involving a very fat lady and her dog would come on and she would talk about local scene stuff that I had no idea about. After that wa PBA bowling (TV Tournament Time). Cartoons came on around 7:30 or 8am, I think, and ran until about 11am. Maybe bowling was after, can't recall.

For most people, especially kids, shows had no continuity at all. I remember trying to watch Robotech (re-runs?) in the mid '80s and once in awhile I'd see two episodes in a row that were in the correct order. Doctor Who was the same way except that was on PBS and often times I could see a couple in a row. Things didn't change until my parents got cable sometime around 1985 or so.

One more anectdote I'll share: My kids both loved Scooby Doo so we bought all the old episodes on DVD. What strikes me most about the cheap animation is how few characters there were in Scooby Doo. If the gang was walking in a town or an amusement park, there were almost no local color--no people at all. That gives the show a creepy, xenophobic vibe. The gang is always all alone in an alien landscape, sort of like they were transported into an alternate reality.
I’ve done similar things with pycharm. I can run pycharm locally but run a remote python process. .py files are automatically uploaded and I can debug over the network just fine. I know eclipse, and presumsbly others, can do the same.

Real-Time Tracking to Transform Marketing Agility
for the US student:

they went to private schools or, alternatively, they went to the wealthier public schools which teach these sort of courses, although usually on a 'tracking' system which segregates the 'smart' from the 'not so smart' at around 12/13.

for the US university (at least the more elite ones):

the above, in combination of the fact that a big chunk of the of the students are international students.

The Qi wireless charger for my Galaxy S5 has a noticeable precision requirement for placing the phone - it doesn't charge at full speed unless the phone is accurately placed, which is infuriating and makes me cut back my use of wireless charging; I've confirmed this by having a USB power meter attached and watching the current draw change as I move the phone around the pad.

Pricing of this stuff is easy. One just needs to get off the couch to do that, or at least do as much as one does when looking for super duper 75" TV.
Easiest way to fix that is often just sending a PR with whatever is the “default” license for that particular eco-system.

I've seen the bullshit artists. When I was early on in interviewing people ( I've been coding just less than 40 years and hiring people ~20 years ), they did surprise me when it came to coding, though I never came close to hiring one. But it turns out, I just wasn't asking the right kinds of questions to pickup on bullshit, or I would let things slide without question where they seem to have glossed over things. But like I say, code isn't out of the question, if I end up with doubts, usually because I can't get super concrete details out of someone, then code is a good way to go.

The problem is: what is success of the product?
I was around employee 100. Had options that were worth about 1.5 million at the peak, then the internet bubble popped and by the time I was fully vested and able to sell it was maybe 1/10th that--$150K or so.

In hindsight, I could have shorted the stock at the peak to lock in the price of the unvested shares.

The whole experience makes me think most engineers should value options at basically zero. Save an aggressive part of your regular salary so you can retire by 50 years old. If you get a windfall great, if you don't you are working on a strategy to become wealthy with a near 100% success rate.
