The most objectionable part for me is noise level, followed by the fact that my seat faces the big windows, which are frequently too bright. They are also often too warm for my comfort, though too cold for others. I don't want to listen to music or have hot ears from headphones. I started working life in open plan but quieter than nowadays but best was working in a 4 person office. I'm currently happier working in my study at home.
I have a panel set up with the appropriate adapters. I originally got the Adafruit kit, which came with a nice frame. That board worked for a while, but I would not recommend it for two reasons: something changed/broke after a year and a high power AC adapter had to be used with it, and it's much more expensive than the other boards out there.

My recommendation for these are the converter boards from AbuseMark [0]. In addition to the basic DP-eDP adapters, he also has HDMI and miniDP versions of the boards. Powering the boards for the backlight is also easier as it's just USB. It seems that he's introduced a USB-C version recently as well. He also has a number of very useful "accessories", like different cables for the various kinds of LCD panels, or a specialized DP-HDMI adapter that handles the odd resolution properly. It looks like shipping from Japan is on hold for the time being, but I highly recommend them once shipping is back up.

"Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" by Robert Pirsig takes you deep into the philosophy on what is 'quality'. Once you see it you can't unsee it.

A powerful excerpt from the book:
'So the thing to do when working on a motorcycle, as in any other task, is to cultivate the peace of mind which does not separate one’s self from one’s surroundings. When that is done successfully then everything else follows naturally. Peace of mind produces the right values, the right values produce the right thoughts. Right thoughts produce right actions and right actions produce work which will be a material reflection for others to see of the serenity at the center of it all.'
Learn your weaknesses, learn to delegate and to trust others.

Once, I have worked with an "architect team". They were brillant, talentuous, very creative. One of them has lead the development of a software component. He has been in charge of a small team of developpers for this component. As he was very creative, he has "improved" the architecture many times during development. At the beginning, he was loved for his ideas, but at the end, the developper team hated him. Later, he was tasked to change the organisation of the source directories (and makefiles) to adapt to in house software management tooling. I have been asked to replace this guy because the team did not want to see him anymore. I have followed his ideas with as few changes as possible. It was a success. I think a good architect must be creative, but a good project leader must also be able to keep direction (limit changes). The creative guy should initiate projects, build prototypes, show roadmap, them find an accountant to replace him (someone who monitors planning, risks and costs). Either you are able to change your mindset according to project phases, or you learn to delegate.

That's a very strong assumption to make. Because you are putting a limit on the capabilities of an individual and the cost of the problems and projects thet may work on.
Science has concluded that some human genotypes are, by scientific standards "lesser" than others. This can be - and has been - used by atheists and religionists alike to justify crimes against those people. Without a moral sense there is little holding back inhumanity from consuming itself. Science hasn't found a gene for morality, and doesn't seem to be on the hunt for it. So we therefore need our cultures to help us prevent calamity - which would require, by necessity, ignoring the scientists clamouring to explain from their pulpit that some humans are simply lesser than others, and "they have the science to prove it".
I'm a big proponent of this thought, though I wish it worked better in my day-to-day.

There were many times where I spend considerable effort into communicating goals and the background of why they are important but with sub-par results.

As far as I understand, the trade-off of storing stale rows in a separate place is that you need to bring them back if the transaction rolls back, making rollbacks more expensive.

Also, you need to copy entire row before updating it or deleting it, not sure how significant this cost is in practice.
In Polish the polite way is not plural you, but Sir/Madam in third person. (Which is an interesting artifact of social history, with lots of petty nobility and other classes partly adapting that style even long ago.) There was also the toast, which is still performed in some conservative circles, I think.

I am in my late 20s and did find it excessive when university students from former Soviet Union (not knowing Polish well) use the polite form "pan"/"pani" for fellow students. I think there was some mis-mapping of forms. But otherwise it should be used in any situation when there is a hint of power imbalance or transactional relation. Informal to people at parties, formal to a store attendant and such. For example, I think that the fact that high school students are addressed by teachers with informal "ty", but are required to address them with "pan" is very demeaning and adds to the soul-warping, prison-like atmosphere of schools. At the university level, removing this felt like fresh air.

Recently there is a push in corporate/"hip" circles to use the informal way everywhere and even many young people don't like it. Many want to be able to hide behind "pan"/"pani" from your sales, marketing or otherwise pushy BS. I think that "ty" has to come with some expectation of sincerity and equality.

On the other hand, I find random French or German websites addressing their users with vous/Sie hilarious for some reason. It makes the relation seem businessy. Which okay, it often is in the modern internet.

Anathem by Neal Stephenson features a bifurcated world where a scholar-monk-class of mathematicians lives in walled-off areas that mingle with the rest of the world only on fixed dates. Some every year, some every ten years, and others only every 100 years. There is a lot more to it, but I don't want to give anything away.

The Case for Reopening Schools
Atlassian Acquires Halp
> Pure mathematics departments for at least the past maybe 80 years often look down on numerical analysis, statistics, engineering, and natural science, and adopt a position that education of students should be optimized in the direction of helping them prove the maximally general results using the most abstract and technical machinery, with an unfortunate emphasis on symbol twiddling vs. examining concrete examples.

I had this view when I took linear algebra as an undergraduate, but I have gradually changed on the subject over time. I took a standard "linear algebra for scientists and engineers" course but I found it too abstract at the time. The instructor rarely concentrated on examples and applications despite the more applied focus in the course title. Later I came to appreciate the abstraction, since it helped me understand more advanced mathematical topics unrelated to the "number-crunching" I originally associated the topic with. I now think the instructor had a more "unified" approach, but I didn't realize it at the time.

I think it means the suspension adjustments help in stability, which is helpful because the weight is high up.
I'm only really familiar with it b/c it's on the matrix soundtrack
Anathem features an awesome world, but I wouldn't call the book mind-bending.
I think that OP wanted to express that stiffer suspension is needed for extra weight, and the same stiffness also helps keep the vehicle stable despite a higher center of mass.

OpenDP: Open-source privacy-protective analysis of personal data [pdf]
In one job we had large rooms where each team was housed. There were no closable doors so it felt open but gave us quiet so we could concentrate.

That doorway was a psychological deterrent to people coming to socialize or ask stupid questions. It made them stop no briefly.

The people who needed privacy due to sensitive nature of their work, like HR and legal, got offices with doors. I hear from people at other companies that this is not always the case.
Easy. Focus on the electrical power needed to run your computation. CPU seconds are a good proxy for this. Webdevs can make enormous contributions here by cutting the megabytes of JavaScript they include in the simplest web pages that are only a few K of useful content. The data centre industry emits more CO2 than aviation so backend devs have a role to play too.

Well, it all depends on the actual stack being used.
If you are on dead-horse technologies or superseded dependencies with major breaking changes (e.g. JavaEE, OpenSSL 1.0.x -> 3.x), you can't avoid big changes.

Moving fast and breaking things is a way to force changes to legacy systems, where the tech wasn't ready for it (e.g. moving from monolith to microservices)

It's a cultural thing that's subject to change. The Netherlands technically has two forms as well, but the use of the formal one in practice has greatly reduced and people don't put much weight on the distinction anymore. Certainly wouldn't get offended if you used the informal one. Used to be different 50 years ago.

I never upgraded to Catalina because, given macOS’s stability track record in the recent years, I’ve made it a habit to wait until at least 10.x.5 before upgrading.

Number one: don’t get hung up on it being a ‘promotion’. You’re playing another, more specialized position, but you’re just one player on the team - not the boss, and you can’t make every decision about how the software gets built (that won’t scale, and if you’re doing that, why do we need all these other developers anyway?)

It’s not your job to tell everyone what to do. It is your job to take the time which developers typically aren’t afforded to learn more about the relevant context of the problem than they can, think, plan, and prototype and bring back and share that additional information you have learned with the team.

The job is, at its heart, to help software developers be able to make smarter decisions.

So the core skill winds up being communication - learning how to understand what the developers on the team are thinking, how to explain constraints and opportunities to them, how to collaboratively problem solve, and how to resolve disagreements among devs about what trade offs to prioritize.

In this case, it is dangerous since a lot of the moral fibre that prevents Dawkins from calling for an all-out eradication of any human being that has the "belief in God" gene, simply won't be there for future generations' benefit.

And that is why I find his crusade against religions he despises so dangerous. Culture devolves unless it is replenished with enlightenment - Dawkins takes no responsibility for that, since the typical means of its occurring (religious faith) is abhorrent to him.

People too easily forget that organised atheism is responsible for the massacre of millions of people, too.
The mljar-supervised is an AutoML tool that works with tabular data. It can handle binary classification, multiclass classification and regression problems.

What's good in it:

- it can produce markdown reports which you can commit to repository, example: https://github.com/mljar/mljar-examples/tree/master/House_pr...

- it computes the Baseline, so you can check if you need ML or not

- this package is training simple Decision Trees with max_depth <= 5, so you can easily visualize them with amazing dtreeviz to better understand your data.

- it is using simple linear regression and include its coefficients in the summary report,

- it has a vast set of algorithms: Random Forest, Extra Trees, LightGBM, Xgboost, CatBoost (Neural Networks will be added soon).

- it can do features preprocessing, like: missing values imputation and converting categoricals. What is more, it can also handle target values preprocessing (You won't believe how often it is needed!). For example, converting categorical target into numeric.

- it tunes hyper-parameters with not-so-random-search algorithm (random-search over a defined set of values) and hill-climbing to fine-tune final models.

- it cares about the explainability of models: for every algorithm, the feature importance is computed based on permutation. Additionally, for every algorithm, the SHAP explanations are computed: feature importance, dependence plots, and decision plots (explanations can be switched off with explain_level parameter).

Seems like if it’s not loading the driver then it should be possible to just load it with kextload? No? I can’t imagine that it’s not a module if it gets activated later, but obviously I could be wrong. I’m not a MacOS kernel hacker.

I guess that would be easy to check by running kextstat before and after plugging in the DisplayPort.

Sadly I only have a 2013 Mac Pro (which has AMD graphics only) so it will operate differently. :/
The best I've eaten was from a stand at a Dominican Republic heritage festival in Providence, RI sometime between 1989-1991. A little, old, Dominican woman cooked the chicken. It was loaded with flavor including some spice.

Recently I picked up friend chicken from a small restaurant in Providence, RI called North. It was their take on chicken karaage. It was crispy but tender and was spiced with something mildly hot. It's my new favorite.

I prefer sticking with the small places. They're not afraid to spice to local tastes rather than spice for the median person in the US.

It's a request, but just issuing a request to a developer in a state of deep focus stands a good chance of kicking them out of that focused state, ruining anywhere between half an hour and the rest of the day for them. So you need to be really mindful of the cost of just asking someone if they have time.

The usual solutions I've employed or been subjected to in the past are: 1) headphones on == no interruptions of any kind, 2) direct questions and requests to IM (with notifications off), and 3) if you need someone's repeated help during the day, then note your questions on a list, and agree on a period (e.g. every hour on the clock) when you and that someone will go over the list together. In my experience, 3) is magical, because once you start noting questions down instead of asking for help immediately, you'll discover that before the hour is up, you'll have answered most of your questions yourself.

I've thought for a long time why I absolutely agree with this sentiment and the best I can come up with is that the Internet Archive feels to me like the embodiment of the old internet, not this marketing driven, data steal-and-sell, VC backed cyberpunk dystopia Internet that we have everywhere else.

It's the same sort of feeling as I why I enjoy this site, wikipedia, and so on. Bonus, IA is also a bit of an organizational mess, but rewards the adventurer with rich treasure.

(I was recently on a Korean history kick and came across not only 1, but several entirely different first hand books written by visitors in the late 19th and early 20th century, scanned in, freely accessible/downloadable, in a variety of formats, and with an excellent on-web reader. These books are so out of print I checked with three local counties for copies and none of them even have references to any of them in their catalog -- treasure!)
Yes, well, good example.
> un-renderable in ASCII

It's inexcusable for a modern user-facing system to be limited to ASCII for names or strings. Most of the world's languages, English and Malay being the biggest exceptions, cannot be rendered in ASCII. ISO 8859-1 (Latin-1), and its derivative CP 1252 help a lot but still don't provide characters for all Latin-alphabet languages. My own language, despite using the Latin alphabet as a base, didn't get a standard encoding until 1998, and I'd usually see it rendered incorrectly until Unicode took over. And that's without even considering languages that use other scripts.
There's more to the story than that:

Grocery is a high-volume business with multiple supply chains of various levels of integration. Keeping actual inventories rectified with sales data depends on accurate billing/receiving through the back door of any specific outlet. Expected inventory vs actual inventory can easily get out of sync due to uncapturable or hard-to-capture behavior at the store level (theft and damaged products aka shrink) or product being left at the warehouse but present on an invoice (which is transmitted electronically) or even product misplaced somewhere in the backroom that cannot effectively be sold. There is constant drift between what should be at a store versus what is actually at a store and augmented ordering is usually used in lieu of automated ordering, where managers have shelf-level visibility on what is on its way, what is currently present, and what is projected to sell based on historical data using something like a Motorola Symbol Barcode Scanner running Windows CE.
