My heart goes out to you. I have the exact same problem and it's not just with work. I've been unable to write long form since the beginning of high school. Funnily enough I managed to scrape through most of an English degree program until I dropped out in the fourth year.

IM is usually ok, unless I expect to be criticized.

My remote fiasco is pretty similar to yours. Eventually it got cut from a full time job to an hour a month maintenance gig. I ended it when I started an in-office job and supposedly sign again for easier paperwork. I've been putting it off for like 3 months and old boss doesn't even send reminders anymore.

Current job is very scrummy, very social. Coworkers are a chair roll away, so no email. Right now there's a lot of work and scarcely have time to go inside my head. I hope it helps, I really do.

I don't understand where you get your $50,000 figure from. You can get 8 Powerwalls for that price for a total of 108kWh of energy storage. I don't know what Americans are doing all day to consume 4500kWh per capita (residential energy usage) but even with such a high rate of energy consumption that setup has enough storage to keep running for days during a grid outage. I live alone and consume less than that so this system could keep the lights on for slightly more than 2 weeks. Buffering solar power with such a setup feels like a joke.
Are most of you using dedicated markdown editors?

What about using your code editor's markdown plugin and real time preview in a browser?

For example with Vim, one of the plugins launches a browser and then you get a real time preview while you type in Vim. The nice thing is you can tell it to use a specific CSS file so you can get a 100% copy of GitHub's README styles. It even syncs your cursor if you want that behavior.

That's similar to the argument you sometimes hear that Columbus didn't discover America - people already lived there. But from the perspective of Europeans, he certainly did. Similarly, it's not surprising you can "discover" a waterfall if you live right beside it.

Surely, humankind can legitimately claim to discover a planet, even if an alien race might have done so before us.

What is maybe fair is to ask in whose name something was discovered, and how we tell these stories. We can't say Christopher Columbus discovered America for mankind, but it was news to a smaller proportion of people.

Sure okay, let's be serious. The fittest and strongest Swiss woman is fitter and stronger than the least fit and weakest Swiss man. How much overlap does there need to be before it's a serious concern?

Hopefully diet and health today are much better than in the past - probably there's a huge overlap between the tail of women who are not in top decile today, and men who were fit enough to join a century ago. To the extent that there's not, since woman ore exclude, there probably could be with a small amount of training. If a person of a certain strength a century ago was capable of serving their country, why isn't an equivalently strong person today capable?

Moreover, there's many duties in the army that don't directly require top decile strength. Naturally, some of these will need to be done by people who are recovering (since, having recovered, perhaps they will be top decile again). But the amount of technical skill in modern warfare is considerable. A woman could control a drone strike fair easier than a man in recovery.

Aside from snide comments, do you have any reason to think half an army is better than a whole one?
I personnaly stopped exploring flutter after seeing how it lagged on scrolling even on an iphoneX (flutter demo app on the app store), and how this app also had bug when opening the keyboard, with a blank placeholder wasn’t in sync with they keyboard animation and could be seen while the animation took place.

Maybe it's worth a try, in order to advance science. But, generally, I think that text synthesis ultimately is one of those problems that we really cannot hope to solve before we've also solved the problem of creating full blown artificial general intelligence. When we have a system that actually understands both the world and the human beings in it, then we can probably also have a system capable of writing intelligent essays. Before that, we'd just be fiddling with different degrees of extremely stupid, I think.

He didn't ask us to post this, but I happened to see this so: Paul's great and we definitely expect to continue working with him. We're hugely grateful for his work on the spaCy Japanese support, and we've also worked with him on a contract basis for another project in spaCy --- he was responsible for the reduction in on-disk size introduced in v2.2.

I suppose we would have a selfish interest in Paul having fewer clients, so that we'll have less competition for his time in future. But he definitely deserves to do well, so I'm happy to provide a more detailed reference if anyone's interested -- email me at matt@explosion.ai .

Briefly, Paul has a rare rounding of skills across practical NLP topics. His working knowledge of both linguistics and machine learning is very fluent --- like, he'd be able to look at your system output and say something like "The relation extraction system is really struggling on light verb constructions, so we need a bigger window or maybe an attention layer". But he also has very solid engineering skills, and of course first-rate professionalism.

So - how do you make sure that your servers are up as a one person founder? Can I pay someone to monitor my AWS deploy and make sure it's healthy?

I find this concept problematic. Does violence or corruption require funding? What sort of violence or corruption? Isn't the point of violence or corruption often to make money, rather than the other way around?

This argument is often made about drug sales but I'm not sure it holds up. It seems to me that making money is often the end-goal of such an operation.

Actually, there as an argument that it is not good for Airbus at all because it will risk the stability of duopoly between Boing and Airbus. The idea is that now Boing will be forced to actually invest tens of billions in new aircraft design, forcing Airbus to do the same instead of milking the current designs for as long as possible. Also, apparently the aircraft manufacturing is not a very flexible business and Airbus already produces as many planes as possible so other manufacturers(especially the Chinese) may actually use this as an opportunity to grab market share and destroying the comfortable duopoly.

> and I faced this obscure Win32 API, which looks ugly, appalling, antiquated and plainly awful.

As you point out, the code you had to deal with was actually written using the Win16 API.

That Win16 API dates back to the first ever version of Windows which takes you back to a pre 1990 era.

As someone who did work on both Win16 and Win32, what I found amazing is Microsoft designed Win32 such that you could take your Win16 code, do a minimal number of changes and recompile that code for Win32.

That meant you could take your old Win16 code designed for a now obsolete version of Windows, do a minimal number of tweaks, recompile the code using a 32 bit compiler and have it running on the most resent 32 bit versions of Windows.

It was my first experience of a major coding upgrade and it was the last such upgrade that was anywhere near as simple as that upgrade.

SEEKING WORK | Germany | Remote

I swear to god, if you help me fuel my addiction...

... I do whatever it takes to transform your idea into a MVP (minimum viable product) within a few weeks.

I have a confession to make.
Over the last few years, I tried every frontend framework under the sun, jumped from JavaScript to ClojureScript to Elm...

... until I came up with a stack (which you can read below) I absolutely love and which I'm literally addicted to.

So here's the deal: You got an idea for a SaaS/Web app you want to see in the world? Then get in touch with me and tell me your overall idea. If my stack is the right choice for your problem (and I will be brutally honest with you), you send me your full requirements. From there on, you can spend your time marketing your product, etc. as I work fully on auto pilot.

Here's my daily fix:

- TypeScript (but I'm willing to sacrifice my love for types with JavaScript if you want.)

- React (because we all got hit by the Angular 2 bus a few years ago...)

- Styled Components

- Various CSS frameworks/libraries (Bootstrap, Bulma, Tailwind, Ant Design)

- GatsbyJS

- Node.js

- Koa

- Various 3rd party rest apis (Stripe, Mailchimp, Mailgun, Twilio, etc.)

I work on a weekly basis which, in my opinion, makes it easier for both of us to get a feeling for the time and money needed to invest in your project.

Sounds cool? Then shoot me an email with your idea and I'll get back to you within a few hours.

Depending on the dataset structure (as seen by app/db developer) there may be in fact two sorts: one that reorders rows in a set* and one that reorders rows in a table view (M and V from MVC, respectively). Your “go back” thing is then a conflict between the two.

It may be seen as overengineering for an itunes user, but a full implementation should provide a way to do both sorts and to cancel view-sort if no longer needed.

Also, sorts may be not just column-based. Shop cart may be sorted by product group without having such column even in dataset, like rows.sort(“product.group.title”) or alike. In UI it can be done as right-clicking on a column/cell and sort->[natural, id, title, group->[natural, id, title, ...], ...] menu hierarchy.

* algorithms may depend on this ordering, so a user takes care to not change it accidentally

> and have it running on the most resent 32 bit versions of Windows.

Or 64-bit, for that matter.
After thinking this through for a moment, I think the point here is that there are two fundamentally different ways of thinking about sorting. To the original poster, it's a way of viewing the data. It doesn't change the original ordering of observations in the table, and it makes sense then to be able to turn it off... To the second comment, it is a way of actually changing the representation of the data. That's why you would expect it to be stable and dependent on the order that the sorting was done.

Personally, I like the idea of it being a way of viewing the data rather than a change to the data. It would even make sense to be able to sort by column A, and then click to sort column B to breaks ties, and column C to further break ties ect. (though there would need to be a visual describing the precedence of the sorts to the user). Then, you can undone any of these by clicking a column twice more.

Almost all tables I've worked with are sorted by the first column by default. So 'remove custom sort' simply means to go back to the sort on the first column. It isn't some nebulous implicit sorting from the database, it is going back to the state before you changed the sort.
