Nice! I do the same thing with custom aliases in my .bash_profile for all kinds of things, including opening various webpages, opening meditation videos on youtube and such to certain timestamps, so I think the idea has some legs. One thing I do with my aliases is have custom arguments, so like if I want to open a stock ticker on yahoo it's `yah goog` from the command line. So being able to add custom arguments might be a cool additional feature.

Good luck!

Woof. I wasn't aware compilation times got that long for people who aren't building a whole OS.
To be honest, I prefer the simple form. It's immediately obvious what it does, and the cognitive load when working with it is slightly lower. That justifies the extra second or so you need to view the function signature and make sure your arguments are in the right order. "Clever" solutions to anticipated problems that haven't happened yet frequently end up being tech debt down the line.

That's contrived and juvenile. Standing in a circle with my team engaging in process for the sake of process doesn't make me feel like a part of a team. Getting stuff done and working directly with teammates on a daily basis, coordinating in person, on Slack, however we choose to do it, organically, is what makes me feel closer to my team.

I'm happy Cormac does this work. I'm even happier that he pointed out a few rules to break. This time invested to improve science writing by one of our greatest living writers is a friendly/magnanimous gesture from a discipline that is on the rocks. I'm not sure if Cormac teaches out of necessity or the goodness of his heart, but count me even more despondent if he needs the salary despite his commercial and critical success.

Nothing can single-handedly fix scientific (or technical, or academic) writing. Reading your own writing like a stranger is harder than reading your own code like a stranger. Aside from a few polymaths, the best technical/science writing takes careful, understanding partnerships.

That said, I think the bigger problem for science writing is how miserably disconnected pop-press coverage is from what is morally justifiable given the research design and results. Some of this is the fault of the scientists (and their reviewers), who don't always appear to see the limitations of their own results. More often, it seems to be about poorly-paid writers churning out clickbait from journal articles.

Unless (or until) we see fit to ensure our scientists (and inventors, and developers, and economists, ...) are polymaths capable of communicating their work lucidly, I think there's a lot of forsaken social value.

If it's worth giving a grant to study or build something, it's worth bolting a communication budget onto (not into) the grant to make sure the work is understood.

Perhaps you should also feel for the engineers, who constantly have to put up with managers who don't understand what motivates them, and yet has power over them with regard to firing, compensation, work assignments, etc.

My most effective managers have mostly left me alone, and have genuinely interacted me to learn what motivates me and helps me get my work done most effectively, and then has put me in the best position possible for me to be successful. An effective manager needs to do that, individually, with each member of their team.
I think, it ends up being different strokes for different folks. We have a very detailed, and for some, a very compelling job description and offer. The time commitment is relatively small up front and as they engage with us, they get a sense of who we are, how we operate, and they like it. So, by the time we ask if they want to put the time into the skills test, they've had a chance to evaluate us and ultimately feel like it's worth it.

Simplisticly, it might boil down to something like a preference for quality* interviewing over quantity.

* not saying our process is definitively better than others, just that some candidates want fewer interviews that they feel are a better potential fit for them.
Your goalposts moved a few figures. Furthermore, $1 million+ was not a university compute budget - that was money for a single lab on campus (at a general state school nonetheless) on a specific project.

You still have yet to provide any concrete sources to back up your claims. We're talking about contributing to research here. If multi-million dollar training jobs are what it takes to be at the cutting edge you should be able to provide ample sources of that claim.
Yep, my experience was similar to yours and I miss grad school due to that flexibility. I don't know where else to find such flexibility while getting paid decently.
When I was a kid we were raised to not talk too publicly about when you were going to be away from home, for this exact reason. You'd ask a trusted neighbour to collect your mail so your mailbox wasn't suspiciously full. You could even buy power point timers that would let you schedule lights / TV / whatever to turn on and off at preset times, plus some random jitter to make it not obviously scheduled, so it looked like you were home.

It seems bizarre that in the face of all our perceptions of how cynical we've become, we've forgotten so much basic common-sense security.

(Of course you can still buy the timers and they still even have the jitter feature, but they're marketed as power-saving devices, not as security devices.)
Or at least, the New York Times to stop publishing op-eds by those war criminals.

Pre-Screening to get to an onsite interview taking 6 hours? I'm sorry, but this is the exact toxic interview culture that is poisoning the job hiring process in tech startups.

>Some of our employees enjoyed the test so much, in fact, that they continued working on their solutions after they were hired

Jee, I wonder if that had anything to do with the fact that they were, you know, new employees? As in, trying to put their best side forward and make a great impression? Did it even occur to you that you are inadvertently increasing their workload with your downright torturous screening process?

When my brain was younger and I was going through my first real programming gig/hazing ritual I felt largely the same. I was lucky to have a boss that let me go at my own pace and build up from small self contained procedural scripts, to several related classes, to practicing design patterns by writing my own datase abstraction layer and dB access objects, then controllers, then templating scheme, and by the time I was done “practicing” I was only halfway lost and broken when I jumped into a sprawling framework that handled all this for me :-)

It is just exercising your short term memory that hurts your brain and causes all that stress and you’ll get better. Soon all those layers of abstraction and the way they relate will be more muscle memory. Like driving. You’ll “glance at your mirrors” when merging and it won’t seem so stressful. It just takes time and practice

Two thoughts on this:

1. This seems like a bizarrely disproportionate and unpleasant response to being accidentally included on an email thread. It's one of those stories somebody tells you thinking it makes them look cool but only serves to let you know that you should avoid this person at all costs.

2. It also sounds like a revenge fantasy written by a fourteen year old; the only thing it's missing is "and then they all stood up and applauded me".
Actually yeah it's really like that sometimes lol. I've had a few dreams where everyone in the dream suddenly turns on me. And I use a lot of the same techniques for knowing if you're dreaming! I think Nolan must have consulted with lucid dreamers to know about things like the top, or coin. For me, my go-tos are light switches, a watch or any clock, looking closely at people's faces, and a bunch of other cues which signal an imperfect simulation.

Between ages 0-6 it was mostly just maze dreams, where I would be trapped in some twisty, morphing construct like a hospital or apartment building. At the time I assumed it was because I didn't have much life experience and so it was mostly visual and without social interaction, and the labyrinths represented my confusion about my surroundings and my feelings of being lost and powerless. But Inception's aesthetics and the dream mazes gave me goose bumps because of how close to home it hit!

For most of my childhood and teenage years it was overwhelmingly chase dreams. I was always running from some person or organization, and everyone was suspect. Sometimes right in the neighborhood, but often crazy blockbuster set pieces or different time periods. Lots of dreams where people realized I didn't belong and started chasing me like Inception.

Now I have a lot of dreams where I'm back in high school, or in prison, my teeth are all falling out, or a couple of other staples. Lots of reoccurring characters and locations. Last month I had a dream I was back in my elementary school, and because there were so many people I recognized and because the dream lasted uninterrupted for so many hours despite my lucidness and being aware that it wasn't reality, that I truly became convinced I had died or fallen into a coma while sleeping and was now experiencing a prolonged hallucination.

I find this incredibly transformative, more than I expected when clicking on the link.

Intuitively, I always believed that announcing my plans would sort of put me on the hook for completing them. That if I announced something and later didn't deliver, I'd feel ashamed. Obviously avoiding shame wouldn't be the only thing motivated me, but I figured I could add shame-avoidance to the list of motivations and make things overall stronger.

But this is definitely something to think about, and try to apply to myself.

The LONGEST following distance maintained by Toyota's adaptive cruise control is 50m (at 80 km/h). The short and medium settings are 30m and 40m.

So either (a) the car you drove was defective or (b) you are radically misjudging your following distance. I know you are inclined to assume the former, but keep in mind that humans are terrible at judging distances when moving at high speeds, and most people leave way too little space between them and the car in front of them.

I do, although not the kind of software development most people do.

I’m a robotics controls engineer. The code I write is pretty short compared to most of you, and it doesn’t take long to compile. But to test it I have to run very complicated dynamic simulations. These never run in realtime. It’s not uncommon for a thirty-second simulation to take five, ten, fifteen minutes to run; sometimes I have to run many iterations of the sam sim to collect valid statistics. So both CPU speed and number of cores translates directly to time spent waiting for the sim run to finish.

I have a 2013 trashcan Mac Pro with 12 cores. It’s still a good machine.
> Also, when you dispute a charge, they are able to put the money in 'escrow', basically, while they investigate... since they control both sides of the transaction (both merchant and customer), they 'keep' the money while they resolve it. If they find in the card user's favor, they deduct it from the merchant account and credit it back to the card user. Otherwise, they release the hold and the merchant can withdraw the money.

> It doesn't feel like your money is being held as a card holder, because the 'money' in this case is credit, and it doesn't effect your bank account while it is being resolved. However, it DOES count against your credit limit while they resolve the issue, so it shows you that the money is still 'frozen' while they resolve it. They aren't allowed to charge interest during the dispute, but if you lose the dispute you will have to pay the interest.

I knew roughly how this worked before, but it didn't occur to me until I read your explanation that this allows the credit card company or bank to invest the money while it's in escrow. So it actually benefits them when fraud happens on your account.

...of course that's a thing. The bankers always win.
There's no need to destructure the parameters.
Not a desktop, but... My employer typically gives people a MacBook Pro, but when a colleague left a couple of months ago I snarfed his laptop - a ThinkPad with 24GB RAM and an i7. I put Slackware on it (for I am Old Skool) and it's really handling many many tabs, plus our many-docker local dev environment far better than everyone else's Mac.

Of course, it's far bigger and heavier than the Mac, but also of course (for I am Old Skool) I'm using it with a decent keyboard, a decent-sized monitor, a decent mouse, and a USB-C charger. It does mean I can't go to meetings, but that's ok with me...
This looks pretty good mostly, but I'd emphasize more that the most important thing is to be understood. When it comes to a difficult mathematical concept, this is actually really really hard. If you can nail that, then worry about stylistic stuff, but you probably didn't nail it.

With that in mind, this advice is really problematic:

> Try to avoid jargon, buzzwords or overly technical language. And don’t use the same word repeatedly — it’s boring.

Boring is better than incorrect! I love when authors clearly define a term and use it over and over, because I know exactly what they mean every time. Jargon may be necessary to communicate precisely (but define your jargon, avoid assuming it's familiar). E.g. mathematically, there is a difference between a ball and a sphere. And if your L2 ball becomes an L2 balloon in the middle of a proof, readers will be very confused.

Also, this is just dead wrong:

> Avoid placing equations in the middle of sentences. Mathematics is not the same as English, and we shouldn’t pretend it is.

I can see this being useful advice when a proof is full of dense lines of inequalities, but the reasoning is still incorrect. Mathematical notation is nothing more nor less than shorthand for English (or any other language). The following is fine for example: If f(x) >= 1, then either x = 0 or x \in [1,2]. So is this: Noting that x < 5, Pr[f(y) + x >= 3] <= 0.1. Perfectly grammatical.
That would be an interesting project, create the breach-via-spam sensor network via accounts.

It also might not be a breach, but could of been sold via some sort marketing 'partnership'.

> Convince the WordPress/enterprise crowd to switch over

The Gatsby homepage mentions Wordpress as a possible data source. I don't evens see mention of their CMS on the front page. The only "service" I see them advertising there is Preview - which seems to be a development collaboration tool. I don't think they're convincing people to move away from Wordpress.

It's funny that the article talks about moving away from your monolithic "CMS system" (redundant?) so that you can use headless Wordpress or Drupal. In other words, you get to toss your monolithic content management system system so that you can keep your monolithic content management system system.

Why wouldn't they be allowed to be used? Anything that guides an investigation is supposed to be admissable evidence or else you get into fruit of the poisonous tree territory, which is illegal. Not saying it wouldn't happen still, but they wouldn't be talking about using it in that case. It'd be like with stingrays where they publicly claim that they got a tip from a confidential informant and drop cases on anyone who gets close to the truth so the never actually get a judge to tell them they can't do it.
I really want to. I want to do more studying of the living subjects and environments in my dreams. I think oneirology and in turn the knowledge corpus of brain's simulation prowess is still completely in its infancy.

I've successfully solved basic arithmetic which requires mid-term memory allocation like multiplication and long division. I want to train myself to use a keyboard and type but I have back problems and often can't sleep on my back. I want to figure out a way for people to ask me questions and give me tasks.

Yes, and.

If you figured that out yesterday then yes, you should absolutely go get help immediately.

Mentioning blockers in standup is about admitting you need help. Lots of developers have trouble figuring out when they're wrapped around the axle.

And it can be a little passive aggressive, but it's also a chance to point out that you've been asking for help and getting nothing. Basically you're warning the master/manager that your story is gonna slip if they don't start managing.

I don't think Apple should necessarily include coverage for user-caused damage as standard, but having only a single-year warranty on manufacturer defects is kinda shameful for a premium product. I expect premium products across most product categories to carry a three or five year warranty as standard.

A single-year warranty is in general an indicator that a) the manufacturer doesn't have faith in reliability past the first year and b) the manufacturer is begrudgingly just meeting the minimum standard for warranties in most jurisdictions. Even if neither of these are the case, the optics aren't good.
It is bribery, yes.

It doesn't seem too expensive as far as marketing costs go.

They are not making just themselves findable by DNA. They are making their extended family findable by DNA, and I don't imagine they have gotten the whole family's consent before doing so.

> If Gatsby can get their service included in a bunch of the domain name registration sites, pushing out Wordpress, then they get exponentially more customers!

I don't follow this reasoning. The hosting sites that offer Wordpress, offer it because it is free. GatsbyJS is free. The service offered by Gatsby is not. Given the difference between $0 and $50/month, I don't see Wordpress going away anytime soon.
