It has been already mentioned in comments, Mortimer Adler’s How to Read a Book is the book for you. It treats reading as learning and the authors’ goal is to teach you how to read expository works with the aim of understanding by actively /and/ skillfully engaging with the material.

You’ll learn how to discover, interpret and judge books, and how to not waste time on poorly written books or those that don’t contain much substance. The core of the book is part 2: the rules of analytical reading, which are general rules applicable to expository works. Part 3 then discusses their modifications for particular types of literature: practical books, history, philosophy, science, social science, fiction.

Highly recommend it. You don’t want to miss it if you’re serious about reading, that is thinking, growing, educating and enriching yourself.
Nearly every law in the US is a weaponized corporate action to prevent competition and secure market hold. That already happened. That is the root cause of the wealth disparity. You argue for more of the same. The government will not be able to fix problems it created. It will only make them worse.
I don't actually know, I just assume any classified briefing like this has to take place in a SCIF or someplace at least shielded from RF leakage. I may be naive, though.
> algorithm being described was complex

I'd argue that the algorithm itself is simple, and that the difficult part is understanding why it works (i.e., why it satisfies the safety guarantees).

> It seems to be proof that trying to sound impressive is actually important.

I agree with this, and would add that making a paper sound impressive rarely conflicts with making it easy to understand. If anything, pointing out the contributions and applications of an approach help readers to understand that approach. At any rate, the same paper made easier to understand will generally be more likely to be accepted.

> As soon as I swap titles it kinda feels like the value of the previous book slowly starts to fade and gets lost.

I think you're being a bit harsh on yourself here. If you understand and learn from a text when you're reading it, I would contend that it's likely you've learnt quite a lot from that book without realising it.

To me, the important part is the next book: while reading it, do I understand it, is it interesting? That means that I've come to that book with the correct prerequisites, so I am happy that my previous books have served me well.

Now, to answer your question: I am pretty undisciplined. I generally read programming books and maths textbooks. I jump from book to book. Sometimes I start in the middle, sometimes I start from the beginning. Sometimes I feel the same concept baffles me, so I like to read about it from multiple sources. But once I grok them, those chapters in new books are skippable.
Launches are often filmed from aircraft for promotional purposes. So yes, they are probably intended to be read from above, just nothing so drastic as spy sats.

In the current job I am on there are significant patches of time where I do not have a ticket and any tickets I could take will rely on other peoples in those cases I tend to read or watch instructional videos on technical subjects but as a general rule not directly related to my work since I am pretty competent at my job and the amount of benefit I can glean is minimal.

I would say often 4-8 hours a week.

Also some times if I have had a full day and done a lot but it is still early to take off and I don't want to start on anything I will read or watch videos. This will be the issue in any job really, so I would say at the minimal I do 1-3 hours a week on reading and instructional video watching.
So I started building this project cause I wanted something like satis, but something that was more dynamic and less basic. But I didn't want to pay $25,000 a year for storing php packages on s3 and I didn't think that this software deserved paying the price Private Packagist wanted either.

Use non spatial dimensions as well, like color, size, and shape. You can also use clever projections like t-sne to reduce the number of dimensions while retaining some of the structure of the data (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJVL80Gg3lA)
That is a very dangerous gamble though because the next question would be "you did all that? How cool! Tell me more details!" and my experience shows that faking the details, unless you've done at least something very close to what you claim you did, is not very easy. And generic bullshit is rather easy to detect - usually you can see when the person is genuinely talking about something they did and are excited to share and when they're just stalling because they have no idea. Of course, once in a while you can get a bullshit artist of high caliber - but those very quickly reveal themselves when you ask them to actually do something.
I recently realized I have ADD minus the hyperactive. I never was able to finish books until I started listening to audiobooks with Audible.

I have a subscription and generally pick up a new book I've heard of that interests me right away either with a credit or just buying it.

This allows me to read while walking and riding the bus and doing the dishes and generally turns uninteresting chores into something interesting while also allowing me to read. Something about having someone read to me is way less difficult than reading it myself.

I generally don't worry about explicitly remembering anything unless there's something particularly amazing. I read nonfiction mostly and my theory is that the goal is to generally educate myself so that my worldview is shifted to be more accurate, and instead of asking "what would that book advise me to do?" I can ask, "What would I do?" and what I would do has been influenced by the book.

Good books I just read more than once. It's much faster for me to listen to a book twice than to read it carefully once. And regardless, someone said something like it's better to read the best book 100 times than 100 books 1 time.

My record is 4 times that I read Antifragile by Taleb. A scarce few are 3 times, several twice. As I once heard, keep reading books until the ideas start to repeat themselves.

Maybe I don't remember everything as much as I would if I took copious notes, but I certainly get a lot of books read this way (sometimes one in a few days if it's good enough) and it's in a way that happens without effort. I've been mulling on the idea generally that best practices that I won't actually follow are inferior to slightly less than best practices that I will do.
I thought your comment to remember a comment was interesting. I hadn't tried the "favorite" link before, so I just tried it on your comment. It looks like that would also serve your purpose. Basically click favorite, and then you can see previously flagged favorites via your user profile. However, your method would be more visible if you're browsing via the threads link above.

This is what model checkers are for. They internally (might) use SAT solvers to reason over transition graphs.
The general problem for model checkers is of this form:

System description: Transition system like automata or a guarded command language which induces a graph.

System Property: Stated in some logic, CTL/LTL

Output: Satisfied, or Unsatisfied with a counter example (usually a path in the graph which is false).

If your problem can fit into such a framework, have a look at model checkers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_model_checking_tools

Do you get any discounts for long term stay? And, having status, will the hotel tend to upgrade you?

This may be a good work travel option: pick a city with high quality but cheap hotels, stay a few weeks, get excellent work done, have everything handled and food largely provided.
> Do you really believe this?

Yes, absolutely. I’m not lying. :) Like I said, I have lots of experience with it. I’ve interviewed people who tried to inflate their contributions, and it’s easy to tell over the course of a 5-10 minute conversation.

> How would you catch that?

Easily, they would fail to be a star performer, and fail to match the abilities they advertised. You can’t lie your way into good programming.

However, it’s bigger than lie or not. Seasoned programmers have mature philosophies, and you can tell by talking to them. And honestly, I don’t mean this judgementally, but your question does sound like it comes from a lack of experience. You will find out what I’m talking about in time; big lies are not in the least bit easy to pull off, and almost nobody tries that kind of thing because the probability they’ll get caught and have serious consequences is very high. Being present in design meetings and knowing why decisions are made does not make you able to talk about it fluently.

BTW, while I believe this myself absolutely, I don’t know for absolute certainty that I’m right. So if it’s easy to do and the payoff is large then you should do it and write about it! If you could easily lie your way into a job, then it should be easy to work your way into one of those super high paying jobs, making robots or neural networks, and get away with it for years.

>The ability to write or design reliable compilers/debuggers that people will use in the real world, and estimations of "hardware complexity", has very little to do with how difficult it is to emit object code for some ISA, I'm afraid to tell you.

Itanium is a counterexample to your argument.

>All the actual complexity is elsewhere, and is (mostly) independent of the ISA.

Which renders ISA complexity difficult to defend, particularly as RISC-V has demonstrated code density competitive with amd64.

Complexity is inherently bad, thus the use of complexity needs strong justification.
I’ve been thinking about something along these lines. One example might be that the book contains a lot of information that you already know. In that case, skimming through might tell you which chapters or sections to skip, instead of having to read lots of stuff that you already know, or worse yet, get discouraged by the repetition of things known to you and never finishing the book, thus missing out on the good stuff that was “hidden” in the later parts of the book.

But as of yet I tend to read books cover to cover and either finish them or give up on them along the way. But I do take notes about interesting things, and sometimes I do little experiments with them also. My notes are a bit lazy in that often my notes consist of taking a picture with my phone, but I categorize the photos into certain albums.

The Seattle times has had some of the best reporting on this, presumably because they have been covering aviation for a long time. I've found some of the tech press have (not surprisingly) treated it too much as a technical issue in the sense of it being about broken software or hardware.

This whole disaster has been a great example of the importance of good systems and safety engineering, of effective oversight, and of a good safety culture. What is depressing about it is that the aviation industry worked hard for decades to develop an open and effective safety culture, and Boeing seem to have forgotten a lot of the painful lessons of the past.

Hopefully, if anything good comes out of this situation, it will be a reinforcement of the culture and mindset that has made commercial flight incredibly safe.
I'm not into containers (in much the same way the article embraces 'herds not pets' we serverless folks embrace 'cockroaches not herds') but you can connect to DBs from a lambda in <20 ms.

The DB itself is typically provided by the cloud provider and is usually a traditional cluster setup. Is it stateful? Yes, but you could throw it into a river, not know anything about how it was configured, connect another box to the cluster and get the capacity back. Exactly like whatever was running the lambda.
I check out e-books from my library using overdrive and my Kindle. Some months I read no books, some months I read a few! I find it is good to occasionally have a wait between books, it keeps me reading at a steady pace so I have time to think about each book.
Fifty years ago, I may have agreed that books are invaluable, precisely because of the information contained within.

But ever since the Internet became a thing, and almost universally became the main source of information for everybody, I often feel like many people are holding on to books because they're not willing to let go.

...a case of false attribution in regards to format vs. content, if there's such a thing.
It may have made more sense back then, and maybe there was a belief that the complexity was worth it to push a new standard like API. Innovation is hard, and it's worth respecting all attempts.
> In other words, it has nothing to do with the human brain creating structures in 11 dimensions.

I think you misread that. It means that the title is technically correct but relies on a different definition of the term 'dimension', not that the title is wrong.

> After a couple years I got fed up with the pollution and decided to do the digital nomad thing for awhile, which is why I've been in Europe all summer and headed to Bali and China in the fall.

I left China a couple of years ago because of the pollution. We could have had a similar lifestyle 10 years ago, but today labor costs are a bit too high in a first tier like Beijing. We might consider Kunming, Guilin, or even Lijiang after our kid grows up (southwest China has the best weather).

I always wound up meeting a few digital nomads whenever visiting Bali.
> And he was knowledgeable enough to back that claim up!

If he worked on it and could convincingly fake it, I - as a recruiter - wouldn't care too much if he embellishes a bit and claims he also did it from the start. Maybe he factually didn't, but if he's good enough to make me think he did, there's a decent chance he would be good enough to actually do it for me. Not a certainty, there's never certainty, but a good chance. Of course, given the choice, I'd prefer the one who actually created it, but one who worked on it and knows it well enough is not bad either.

Somebody wrote "Not to sound rude, but how can one judge what idea one needs to see as 'important' while skimming through the book if they have no clue of what the book is about?" and then deleted it. I'd still like to reply because it's a good question. Here goes...

That's a perfectly good question. I used to think that skimming was worthless, only something that people who didn't actually care about information did.

But if you think about how you are constantly judging the value of information everywhere throughout the entire day then you can see how we have to make some filtering decisions.

Systematic skimming is just another filter. If I'm going to dedicate 10 hours to reading the book carefully it makes sense to get an overview of the ground first. If the books I'm reading are from Alan Kay's list of greatest books you should read then I'm going to not worry so much about the filtering aspect of the skimming. If it's a shitty book with a catchy title in the business books section of the library I'm going to be much more skeptical and the filtering part of skimming is essential to not wasting time on crap.

Judge a book by its cover. Then judge it by its table of contents. Then judge it by some passages you read that looked interesting. Don't commit to a book until you've gotten a better feel for what's inside.

I’ve used symlinked bashrc and other files and edited them with Vim through their symlinks and never had the sorts of problem you theorized about.

I would consider the behavior you outline to be an editor bug. Symlinks are pretty important and any editor that would destroy a symlink and replace it with a regular file is clearly misbehaving software IMO.

I reckon it isn't that inaccurate, especially given the reported behaviour of compasses.

"From these models and extrapolating down into the Earth, it is known that regions of reversed flux at the core-mantle boundary have grown over time. In these regions the compass points in the opposite direction, in or out of the core, compared to that of surrounding areas. It is the growth in area of such a reversed flux patch under the south Atlantic that is primarily responsible for the decay in the main dipolar field. This reverse patch is also responsible for the minimum in field strength called the South Atlantic Anomaly, now centred over south America. In this region energetic particles can approach Earth more closely, causing increased radiation risk to low Earth orbit satellites."

Growing up in Southern California, the annual day at Disneyland had an incredibly packed schedule, full of strategies for when to go on a particular ride.

We still enjoy Disneyland today, but I've learned to just slow down. Look at the colorful brickwork of the castle, eat at a sit down restaurant in New Orleans square, watch a parade. Maybe I skip riding Pirates of the Caribbean if the line is too long. Maybe we head back to the hotel when the lines get long and enjoy the pool. It ends up being a much more enjoyable day, something closer to what I supposed Walt Disney imagined so many years ago.

Sometimes you do get more by doing less.
It goes deeper than anecdotal "I wish my client hadn't said anything", there are concrete reasons for this advice.

For example, according to rules of evidence, any exculpatory statements you make to police are hearsay and therefore cannot be mentioned in a trial. The police _can_, however, try to use that information against you and then use information derived from your original statement at trial.

There's a pretty popular lecture[0] on this. It covers a lot of edge cases and common arguments against "don't talk to the police".

1. You're directly replying to someone who pointed out that not choosing a product with vulnerable code doesn't protect you.

2. When it comes to your own choices, information about what language is used by every facet of a product/service isn't usually available.

3. Even when information is available, most people don't and won't choose stuff based on language anyway, which means if you do care, you can't expect a viable alternative to be produced by the market.

So the standard libertarian advice is inapplicable in a triply redundant manner.
