While that works, the original appeal of Tiddlywiki was that you could open a file in your browser, type away, and save naturally. Once you get into "self-hosted", you just have a regular old wiki. I used it everyday for several years but gave up once the transition happened. I keep trying to go back, but it just can't compete with files edited in a text editor and stored locally.

That idea doesn't scale. Much simpler to look at definitions and example sentences, especially for non-obvious words like abstract ideas, context-dependent words, and particles.

This all sounds very familiar to me. I'm at a robotics company; we had some experimental infrastructure built up around processing ROS bag files via notebooks, and it just eventually became like pulling teeth. Stuff would get cut and pasted between notebooks, or moved out to helper modules which then had versioning and permissions chaos. Each bag needed its own notebook/interpreter instance because there's no way to rerun a notebook on new data, but then the server would explode because of these massive Python processes hanging around with half-processed data state still in them.

In the end we dumped it all and turned the good parts into a sane CLI tool which ingests data and dumps out Bokeh plots. At some point we'll throw a Jenkins front end on it, but the current approach seems to be working fine.
the thing is, it takes a decade of delay for this to set in because fast-food and other harmful food like substances are much more harmful in child hood. So, if you were raised descently well on normal food until your 20s, then started eating horribly, it's not nearly as bad as if you started eating horribly in your childhood.

We can see this clearly in China. The older generation seems to have some resistance to junk food in terms of weight gain: this is why asians have a reputation for remaining slim, even if they eat junk food. But, it's not due to their genes: they were simply lucky enough to not be introduced to those bad foods until their adulthood.

If you look at the newest generation in China in the cities, their obesity rate is skyrocketing at an extremely high rate.

I paid a prospective candidate for project work like this. It was more than the market rate for the role they were applying for. For context, this was in India, and I'm also Indian, and so is my company -- this was not an offshoring/outsourcing thing. They disappeared for a month, sent me 20 lines of python that did not work and demanded payment. I made the payment, as promised. Obviously, I did not hire. For a small company like mine, which I'm funding from my own pocket, I don't think I can afford too many candidates like this. I've stopped that practice. Now I only hire people I've worked with on previous jobs before. I know the quality to expect and I know the price I'll be paying.
Yup, same here. 10 years ago I left my job, threw away my crap, went off to Korea for a year to teach English. Brought some math and physics books I'd always wanted to understand, learned Korean, and bought a cheap bicycle and biked around southeast Asia after the year was over. After a few months of this I started hitting up old coworkers for job references, with the fallback of another English teaching stint (managed to find a new coding job). Some days were hard but I wouldn't give up that experience for anything.
Buying an internal hard drive from Amazon is extremely fraught, but I'm not aware of similar problems for internal SSDs. And they are definitely one of the most reliable places to get good prices for consumer retail SSD models.
I think this really says more about a lack of basic science education in high school. People plug 1800W space heaters into $4 power strips and cause fires. I think by the time you graduate you should at least be able to understand that watts of electricity are the same thing as heat.

Well, after this, it's pretty clear that "anti-virus" software is itself malware, so this should not be an issue ?
I know when Amazon was increasing density in some of their offices, they also built a few more meeting rooms (they did not, however, increase bathroom size, and I strongly suspect they were violating OSHA rules, if only due to gender inequality).

This is possibly the only place I've ever worked where they made even a half-assed attempt to maintain the ratio of employees to meeting spaces. And you're right. Post densification, managers are constantly having to schedule meeting hours or days later or settle for two smaller meetings because everything is full. And if you screw up the room reservation, you have to just cancel the meeting because there is nowhere to go.

But a lot of that pain trickles down onto the people doing the work, so I don't think it's fair to look at it as getting what they deserve. It sucks for them, it's debilitating for us, and we always have to make it up by cutting corners or working later.
But, strangely, Jupyter doesn't also give you a REPL (like, say, R Studio does). I'm always making new cells in the middle to output the column names of my spreadsheet, and then I have to delete them. I used to just always have an ipython REPL running and test things out in there as I write. You can start a ipython instance on the same kernel but I found that messed up my plots when I did that IIRC.

My observation (no judgment) is that we'd each like less traffic in front of us, but it's most convenient for us to drive in a way that slightly increases traffic for those behind us.

Whether this is good or bad, I don't know. On the 280 and 101, it's common to see cars driving 80+, when the posted speed limit is 65. Perhaps better lane discipline would increase those speeds and make the roads less safe...
I love jupyter notebooks. Without them, I wouldn’t have been half as productive as I was during my PhD.

Here’s a post I wrote just a few weeks ago describing some of the conventions that I established for myself over the course of 5 years:

https://jessimekirk.com/blog/notebook_rules/

I suspect that a lot of the conventions I describe help mitigate problems described here, some of which should be strictly or optionally enforced by the notebook instead of the user.

IMO it's better to make that yourself.

When you let the companies pick which model of disk to embed in their product, they pick the cheapest one available. Probably not what you want.

Personally, I have Zalman ZM-VE300, also no-name m.2 2280 USB 3 enclosures, both work fine. If you'll do the same, don't forget there're 2 sorts of m.2 disks, SATA and NVME, USB enclosures for them aren't compatible.

I mean this is pretty much exactly why the government shouldn’t be in charge of deciding how to allocate this investment.

Fiber is far less useful than fast wireless. 60% of Maryland has access to fiber. It hasn’t been revolutionary in the least. Most people don’t even subscribe to it, even in high income suburbs. Meanwhile, over 15% of high income households are “mobile only.”

I think it’s fair to say that if you are computing using a tablet, you’re probably not benefitting much from fiber. Well, global PC sales peaked in 2010: https://images.app.goo.gl/4jwgmheZhp1S39EZ6. Desktop PC sales globally are about the same as they were in 2001. The percentage of people using a computing device that can take advantage of fiber continues to shrink.

Note that phage therapy was used and understood in the west well before the Soviet Union came into existence.

I actually read the article and I'm a commercially-rated pilot with experience in similar terrain and airspace.

First of all, most helicopters are not flown IFR. Following roads in bad weather is common. But ... flying under 500' is not safe these days because of wires, towers and heliostats.

The journalist is likely speculating on what the flight path was and the weather conditions, but overall it feels pretty accurate.

That's why you don't fly in helicopters, and in bad weather. You fly scheduled airlines, in good-enough weather.

I responded to the second part of your point right afterwards. I responded to the totality of what you said. Read it again.

You may not have intended for them to be broken out as I did, which would just be to say you didn't intend to say "Many people choose not to vote" in isolation. That's fine - I still responded to the second part of what you said in conjunction with the first in the very next point.

You "showing" that I have no basis for that is you saying that you don't buy it? Democracy is the manifest will of the electorate. I gave specific supporting reasons for my point here, you could try to attack those if you had an argument.

I didn't say that it was. But there are many examples of 'democracy' in the world, with a great many different outcomes. Democracies are only as good as the will of their constituents.

I graduated college last year and I did quite a few of these unpaid interview projects. They never took more than a hour and all of the projects were clearly not intended to actually be used in real life projects. The projects are clearly there to see if I could follow the written spec and write reasonably efficient code which I think is reasonable.

If the take home project looks like something the company would actually use in their codebase, then yeah I would probably ask for compensation.
>Scotland [...] has a goal to source the equivalent of 100% of its electricity demand from renewable energy sources by the end of this year.

What does 'equivalent' mean in this sentence?
Not with that attitude.

Seriously. Extraordinary claims etc etc. If you want to claim humans are not solely material, you need to give some sort of evidence of a phenomena beyond the physical. You can't use intelligence per se as your evidence as then your argument is circular.
In this case, it's not about cable length, but the number of boxes the data has to travel through before hitting the screen. Cable length matters on the nanosecond scale. For human-noticeable latencies larger than 0.1 seconds, you can only blame buffers where data sits around not moving.

I'm curious to know more about the total cost of ownership of Elixir.

What's it like finding other developers with experience?

How long does it take to train people up?

How easy to understand the code base is it for developers who are 2 generations down from those that wrote it?

How good is the tooling/support/interoperability? When I'm using X service, do they already have an SDK are do I have to build it from scratch every single time because I'm using Elixir and not say Java or .NET.

What's the general level I have to hire at? Can the "average" developer (who's not that great let's be honest) learn it and be productive or do I need to hire very good developers for every seat (read more expensive)

Phage therapy was researched by Félix d'Hérelle, a french-canadian scientist who was awarded the Leeuwenhoek Medal. Eli Lilly and Company were working on commercializing it in the U.S.

The problem was phage therapy couldn't stand up to a disruptive idea: the large scale production of penicillin in the mid-40's.
I follow a simple rule about this when I'm the interviewer - any time commitment asked of a job candidate to write code, must be matched by an equal time commitment on my part.

For example, that permits collaborative code questions or white boarding, but not take home code challenges. Past experience has shown me those are always horribly estimated, and require more time on the candidate's part than issuers claim. Put yourself in the candidate's shoes, having 3-5 of these things to work through (unpaid, no doubt, as OP rightfully objects to). Not fun!

I've found that rule a simple, transparent, way of showing respect for candidates' time. Which I've always found admirable, from both sides of the hiring table.

I interned @ Google AI last summer; used notebooks nearly everyday. Estimated productivity gain is 3-5x.

Biggest tip I have is to turn auto reload on, then write the bulk of your code as modular functions and call functions within your notebooks. Keeps the notebook tidy and it’s easier to push your code this way.

It’s also easier for sharing since most people viewing your notebooks (mentors, people outside your team) are interested in results/artifacts such as metrics, generated text, images, audio, which notebooks display well (not your code).
The reason tech companies want regulation
Scotland does not have an independent grid. There is an EU wide market to trade electric energy between countries. Some days they export elecric energy, other days they import it. Even if 100% of their local production is renewable, the energy they import is probably (partly) not. So I guess the 'equivalent' means that summed up over the entire year, they export at least the same amount of energy that they import.

You can check this site for the present state (it doesn't show scotland though): https://www.electricitymap.org/

It's the difference between using and selling to another country.

For example, let's say my energy demand for 1 year is 1 GW. I generate that 1 GW using solar. But I sell 50% of it to a neighbor. Inside my house, I use gas for that missing 50%. Overall, I've "generated 100%" of my needs from renewables. I (Scotland) sell clean energy to my neighbor (Europe).
