You can also add search shortcuts to pretty much any browser now. I just did it in Firefox, it's as simple as this:

Go to etymonline.com and right-click in the search box itself.

Hit "Add a keyword for this search". In the dialog that pops up, I put "ety" as the keyword.

That's it. Now when I open a new tab, I can just type

ety pathos

And there we are.
There will be cases for which it's not so, but every time recently that I can remember someone saying ifort/icc vectorizes some numerical code profitably, and gfortran doesn't, and I had the code, I got GCC vectorizing it with equivalent flags. ifort defaults to incorrect behaviour for floating point (something like gcc -ffast-math). [Edit: As I now see it says in a sibling.]
Well, someone's got to do it. At the end of the day, you're just shifting labour around. Then you might as well specialize, since that's where the efficiency is at.

Many people in careers find it deeply soul-crushing. I sincerely doubt a homemaker would have the same feelings, even thought they might consider it regrettable for other reasons.
Both comments were significantly downvoted at the time of my comment, which was what I was referring to. The original comment explicitly mentioned "relative airspeed", which I thought was pretty clear (it's the speed of the plane relative to the air that matters).

I think calling it a "common misconception" is also assuming a lot.
Question for ya: Are the outsider recruiters of any use? I've been contacted by them before but I get the impression you're better off just applying.

Not seagull, because the effect is dump-avoidance. Outside of electrical-fire-in-hair moments, going slow is a virtue. There was no apparent reason to do this specific thing at that time, nor even (evidently) within an identifiable timeframe in the future.
This seems unsurprising if you know male dancers. It’s almost entirely gig work. The difference between an employed dancer and his unemployed friend is that the employed one is having a good month.
At the extreme other end of the function-vs-fun scale, I find myself on OneLook.com for wildcard searches in the way that most modern search engines don't seem to grok anymore.
I kind of see good writing as a form of artisan-ry. Sure, any old chair will do, but an artisan-crafted chair can be truly comfortable instead of just helping you not-stand.

The purpose of writing is to communicate. If "communicating your idea" is all you wanted to do, you could just release an outline or slide deck. Good writing makes your communication more effective, while also being more enjoyable (read: ergonomic, tailor-made, whatever your goal is) for the reader.
I was talking about all sports.

You have to have at least an average amount of athleticism for any sport.

After that, simply drilling the fundamentals over and over and over and over ad nauseam probably puts you into the 95th percentile. This also has the advantage that it improves your endurance and athleticism DRAMATICALLY.

There are regularly articles about middle school teams that are ferociously drilled on fundamentals beating significantly older and physically larger teams that don't have the fundamentals down cold.
You can be senior in one technology and a junior (or less) in others.
Yes, Jevons effect.

I read papers about video compression sometimes. Some introductory paragraph about how much of the internet's bandwidth is consumed by video and therefore how much we have to gain from better video compression appears with amusing frequency.

Ah, I see we're alike.

I'm glad I went ahead and got a gaming rig from best buy for $900. Because after playing legacy games at extremely high frame rate for about 2 weeks, I proceed to spend all my spare time on a random javascript game.

Rule #1 of startup tool selection: Always pick the safe, popular choice and stick with it.

QuickBooks isn’t perfect, but you can make it work and always find someone to operate it.

Stripe is fine and maybe less likely to lock up your funds than PayPal. Use it if it fits your needs.

Slack is quirky but it works and everyone knows how to use it.

Same for Google docs. Use it, keep it simple.

Don’t overthink your tooling choices, don’t try to get fancy, and definitely don’t even think about trying to self-host something when you can pay a few dollars per month per employee to use a SaaS. You need to keep everyone focused on solving the startup’s target problems.

Bike shedding is one of the most common failure points I see in early startups. If you find yourself constantly changing chat tools, project management tools, frameworks, or programming languages then you have a major drag on productivity. Pick the easy option and stick with it until year 2 or 3.
> seems super normal and fine to ship a feature over the weekend if it goes through the regular CI gates - it's tested, peer reviewed, been QAd in staging, etc.

Multiple of these processes you listed often require humans. You either are asking them to do this during the weekend, which is bad, or you gave them ample time during the week meaning you're ok with steps needed on weekdays, so you can do that for the last step too, with full staff present.

(bugs and urgencies notwithstanding, but that doesn't appear to be what we're discussing)

Most remote desktop solutions don't even use video and instead transmit parts of the screen that have changed as still images.

When not consuming media content this approach is better because the fine details look more crisp. In video the finer details are limited by a bitrate & key frame frequency.

That's assuming that rich people don't want _more_ riches, which I would guess to be not true in more cases than not.

20M isn't quality of life wise too different from 2B, but if you got the chance to get 2B, legally and even morally, would you not?

Frankly, All people with a annual income of either $1B, $10M, or $100K likely live in closer and better quality of life than some medieval king. I'm thankful for our times.
That’s what I thought, I couldn’t find any GPU instances. Figured the GP knew more than I did :).
I’m not a super big fan of Firefox’s implementation here, but at the end it’s just about giving users options. The poor website behaviour you described is poor because it’s unexpected and you often don’t get much control over this.

In Safari, I like that I can pop a YouTube video out and then carry on coding or doing whatever. I think of it just like full screen mode.
> not only it is as dynamic as Python, at any given moment can the image change its contents, and via messages like becomes: an object completely changes its internal structure.

Another thing: in Smalltalk the idea of a "stack frame" is actually encapsulated in an object called Context, and you can always inspect the current context. It's just an object like everything else in the system. I don't think Python has something like that, but I could be mistaken.

Wouldn’t “everything” in this case be to summon the managers to drop blocks on heads? If you are yourself a manager, summon a more powerful manager that can drop more blocks.
Also consider this: if you do sue, any future potential employer who googles your name will see the lawsuit. This will dramatically reduce your chances of getting future jobs.
Yes, that was covered six years ago too. The Alaskan fishery example is a modern comparison.

We retired the Space Shuttle because it was too dangerous. One accident every hundred flights.

We live in a different world than we did hundreds of years ago. One accident will require a review board and many expensive changes. Flights will be grounded.

I thought it was interesting/funny that the top male-male coupling for software developers was to "recreation and fitness workers". Apparently we want someone to help keep us in shape after sitting all day.
I’m trying to learn how to be less combative in my online and offline discussion. Instead, I want to come to correct solutions or better understanding in a kind and compassionate way rather than coldly telling people they’re wrong.

It’s very difficult.
The probability of such "get stuff done" goes up the more seemingly-pointless and painful, slow and bureaucratic processes are introduced.

Many of these processes may be necessary, but it's also necessary to explain why, and to make them as fast and painless/frictionless as possible - especially as each single process in isolation may seem reasonable, but when stacked on top of each other, the "get stuff done" approach becomes a lot more tempting.
Maybe "open-mindedness" isn't the right term, as was pointed out, because perhaps men are actively pursuing low-income women.

However one clue is the difference in the steepness of the preference:
> On a list of 149 countries’ Gini indices provided by the CIA World Factbook, this would place the female dating economy as 75th most unequal (average—think Western Europe) and the male dating economy as the 8th most unequal (kleptocracy, apartheid, perpetual civil war—think South Africa). [0]

That looks like exactly the sort of thing I'm after.
Unfortunately it also seems to be true. No point in building anything for your own satisfaction (if your goal is investment).
Sure, but we’re so far away from that scenario here. In that ideal world you describe above, the project leads would have already talked through the requirements and processes involved with the environment and/or service owners and/or release engineering groups. Not all changes are of the sort where “if the tests pass, it’s safe to ship it”, and that requires learning what is acceptable and not, and talking to the relevant people when you’re out of scope.

Environments like those described often have continuous push and automated slow rollouts with health checks, so the idea of doing something on a Sunday isn’t that strange at all.

That said, there’s something to be said for not trying to locally optimize. If you push bad stuff on Sunday, you’re messing up a bunch of people’s well-earned rest and recovery time from work. You push bad stuff on Monday, and everyone’s there to help you fix it without the stress of lost family or other commitment time.

The difference is 24 hours, which likely isn’t going to make or break anything. It’s easy to get sucked into believing things like that matter when they don’t.
Yes, that's the one. Unfortunately it doesn't show any of the API details that a developer would be exposed to.

The Wisconsin legislative districts are heavily gerrymandered, so the "voice of the people" is limited. At least the governor is elected in a recognizable sense.
The worst experiences I ever had at a job were due to the most senior developer there. He was basically given this god-like status from management where he could do no wrong, and had free reign of all systems, because he'd been there for so long..

Yes, he was an incredibly capable software developer, but that had led to an ego issue where he thought he knew EVERYTHING, not just developing in his particular stack... so he'd find his way into various systems (software and hardware) he had no experience in, and assume he could just figure it out.

We had half a dozen full-on-disaster level situations in the couple years I was there thanks to this 1 person. Each time it was shrugged off as "an accident" because heaven forbid you actually upset him or hold him accountable.
Make as many as possible? Some of them are bound to be the right ones.
This is the right question.

Can’t speak for op, but if you decide to invest at any level it’s like a firehose with dozens, or hundreds of pitches coming at you. You may not have time to read them all let alone apply any reasonable diligence.

AI photo recognition drones that there are dozens of but we do it with a solar blockchain! Um... maybe? What are the sales? Who do you sell to? (Note: almost always pre sales)

Now imagine the smartest person you know recommends a company. They give you a 7 second hook: yes, photo sharing has been done before but these guys have a contact with the CIA because the pictures cannot be modified without giving it away etc. suddenly you’re interested because they did the work.

That's for sure. Those new small boost packs are using LiPos which are about 10x the power density of the old boost packs that were lead acid.
This "leagues ahead" is simply not true experimentally. I ran the Polyhedron benchmarks on SKX with profile-guided optimization. Pre-release gfortran 10 was (insignificantly) faster on the bottom line than beta ifort (from oneapi). That was reversed for gfortran 8 v. ifort 18.

It's also not true that HPC performance is generally dominated by code generation rather than libraries and communication costs, but obviously mileage varies.

Why do male welders have a thing for female dancers?
The problem is they're a simple answer to the problem of highly divided politics. Passing everything at once is the only guaranteed way to hold people across the isle to their word that voting yes on this bill they want will mean a yes on the thing you want. Instead vote on all the compromises at once.

In that way the line item veto is anathema to that. The legislature agreed to this bill allowing the governor to just cherry pick the parts they like breaks that down.
It's a nice nostalgic reminder of what the web used to be - when it was just made up of people wanting to express their interests.

Odbc/SQL newb. I know what begin does, but I don't know why you'd only see it in prod. Surely you should test the same codepaths in staging that you plan to execute in prod?
Here's another idea, you can ship late. There has to be a really good reason to meet the Monday deadline and it must be really important to the company. In fact it would be so important that the people and departments would know that it's important. They wouldn't find out about it on the weekend the day before it ships.

Sounds like these people designed a component that wouldn't work on the current infrastructure. That happens, but if there is a big oversight like this, then you should ship late, instead of risk taking everything down.
This seems ridiculous. If a state wants to do something like this, can't they just import the medicines directly? After all, if any regulation restricts it, the state should have the power to correct that regulation.

If you have a thick accent, then that can obviously cause some problems, and likewise for being deaf.

The only thing this will result in is that companies become more ambiguous; instead of telling people they were rejected because of their accent, they'll just not get back to the duds after interviewing them.

I remember an instance where someone updated and deployed the strong_passwords ruby gem since "it had an update". This was more or less right after it was found out that the v0.7 gem was compromised. Cue rushing at the commit and double checking that it was using the "fixed" 0.8 and not the 0.7. Developer had no idea that 0.7 was compromised, and just updated the gem because they could without looking at patch notes.

This is the big difference between 'data scientist' and 'software engineer'. Your workflow is almost certainly repeatable and verifiable, which is just better science.

The crux is is that Jupyter was not made for people with your skills, or more accurately, pattern. What you do is not inherently hard or complicated. Certainly not more than actual data science. It's a cultural thing mostly.
