> I'm a dev with almost no experience

Experience, as in experience that a person who hires you can read from your CV, is the key for the developer's career. However, $1-1.5/month is a junior developer salary (and I don't live in a first world country either), and one year is more than enough to build a CV and/or github profile that shows that you know what you're doing. I was just recently hiring junior developers (and probably will again in the near future), and if I would see someone with relevant tech stack (sorry, I think that for a junior, matching the tech matters - although I believe that a senior can easily switch and learn), experience with different aspects of that stack (not implementing the same feature 10 times on very similar projects, but doing something different each time), projects complete and even some code on github (alhtough I work in the industry where this is much less common), he would jump to the top of my list. There's plenty of advice on how to write CV: focus on what you've done (as opposed to what you've been doing), drop keywords (but convey your level of expertise truthfully), it's all common knowledge, but it works.

And regarding remote work - now it's the best time for remote it's ever been, and there's plenty of companies from first-world countries that hire from anywhere in the world, with montly salaries for seniors reaching up to $6-10k a month. It may not be easy to reach that level, but it's certainly doable.
TLDR: "We built a low-dimensional object space to describe general objects using a feedforward deep neural network trained on object classification. Responses of inferotemporal (IT) cortex cells to a large set of objects revealed that single IT cells project incoming objects onto specific axes of this space."
This is not unreasonable at all.
This is my anecdote, I hope it serves you well.

I'm a computer engineer with a respectable bachelor's degree from Turkey. Google has enough material to see what kind of 3rd world country Turkey is.

I found myself in a similar situation 2 years ago. I had 5 years of experience at that time. Due to my father's decreasing health condition, remote had become by only option. I don't know if it was luck or simply how the system works but in my case Upwork saved my situation 1 month after I signed up. I created a modest profile and clicked a bunch of gigs I found interesting. I did a bunch of Skype calls to present myself as approachable as I can and even took some disappointing gigs just to get used to freelancing (it was my first) without causing harm to my reputation. Somewhere along the second month I spent in the platform, one employer from another country approached to me. Unlike my other gigs, this employer valued trust more and asked me if I can join them part-time for a month, to be able to evaluate my performance without taking too much risk. I was promised the one time payment even for failure. Luckily I didn't fail. Now I am a full time remote employee and have a competitive salary even for European standards.

TLDR: Try upwork.com, maybe it will work.
The most common Greek word that doesn't translate in other languages is "filotimo" (φιλότιμο). More than a word, it's a virtue that's at the core of our culture. You can read more here [http://helleniccomserve.com/filotimo.html] and elsewhere on the web.

> In the book he describes the ways modern life has disconnected us from a lot of what humans find meaningful, and given that it's not surprising that rates of depression and anxiety have skyrocketed.

Yeah. See Yvain's excellent review of "Empire of the Summer Moon":

All of the white people who joined Indian tribes loved it and refused to go back to white civilization. All the Indians who joined white civilization hated it and did everything they could to go back to their previous tribal lives.

There was much to like about tribal life. The men had no jobs except to occasionally hunt some buffalo and if they felt courageous to go to war. The women did have jobs like cooking and preparing buffalo, but they still seemed to be getting off easy compared to the white pioneer women or, for that matter, women today. The whole culture was nomadic, basically riding horses wherever they wanted through the vast open plains without any property or buildings or walls. And everyone was amazingly good at what they did; the Comanche men were probably the best archers and horsemen in the history of history, and even women and children had wilderness survival and tracking skills that put even the best white frontiersmen to shame. It sounds like a life of leisure, strong traditions, excellence, and enjoyment of nature, and it doesn't surprise me that people liked it better than the awful white frontier life of backbreaking farming and endless religious sermons.

Whites who met Comanches would almost universally rave about how imposing and noble and healthy and self-collected and alive they seemed; there aren't too many records of what the Comanches thought of white people, but the few there are suggest they basically viewed us as pathetic and stunted and defective.

I've actually went the other way, soon after my first kid was born, I had to stop being a manager pulling late nights, mulling over company issues during off-hours, and having work issues get to me.

I found it less stressful and better on my mental health to go back to becoming a programmer, although I have also made a bigger effort to leave work at work.
This has been my experience as well.

If it's a skills problem, by all means set everything up and be the hero.

If it's a cultural problem, run.

To me labelling people who collectively rise up against systemic domination as 'emotional hysteria' is just the epitome of cruelty.

I'm sorry if I'm giving that impression. It hasn't been long since I've come into this situation. As someone who haven't had much exposure into the working of the world, I was just seeking opinion from others on what can be done.

Modern consumer-grade GPUs and CPUs have attained these numbers, eh? It's great to see that we have achieved this goal.

Not OP, but I think they're not talking about inventing a _new_ burger, but inventing _the_ burger, as in the first one ever.

As in, the neural net in this example is able to improvise a new burger recipe solely because it was given existing recipes to burgers as input; it did not come up with the notion of a burger and then produce a recipe that outputs something fulfilling that notion when followed.

Personally, I would argue that this distinction is not as clear-cut as the tone of the original comment seems to suggest. Humans didn't invent the burger from nothing either. We've been grilling meat and making bread for millennia, and sandwiches have been a thing for over a century.

A 'burger' is just another iteration of our biological neural nets' attempts to make food from ingredients already present in our physical reality. Given that we flow in a single direction through time, any food we make is in turn added to our list of ingredients for making food "the next time". One could argue it is only a matter of time once meat can be ground into patties and grains turned into bread that burgers start being made - given the relative benefits humans gain from consuming both.

This comes back to what others have expressed elsewhere in this thread, that the probable [most] important distinctions aren't between software vs hardware, or organic life vs silicon processors, but the environment & capacity to interact with said environment. Some sense of "innate tendency to experiment" (i.e. curiosity) is probably either equal in importance or a direct runner-up.
Top notch comment.
This a very simplistic view, based on assumption that the world is discrete. The whole idea of software relies on the concept of digital computer, a discrete machine. The world might indeed be analogous and real numbers might actually exist.
It depends of course on your specific situation, but Google Voice offers free virtual phone numbers. No credit card, and you can set it up without personally identifying information.

We've done time-tracking a few times as a couple to figure out whether we're splitting things fairly:

* 2011: https://www.jefftk.com/p/time-division (no kids yet)

I think the increase in time has likely affected both of us similarly, but we haven't timed another week.

Good niche is intersection of two skills. For example, if you can do biology + programming, you can get jobs in bioinformatics. If you do education + programming, you're looking at ed-tech. Etc.

Being a domain-expert (even an armchair-level one) goes a really long ways.

Niche markets are less efficient. There aren't as many jobs, and when an employer needs you, they /really/ need you; if you go into narrow enough niches, there can be zero competitors qualified for the same position. That gives a lot of leverage. The flip side is there might be zero job openings for months. On the whole, I think that's an advantage, but it can go both ways.

You give good advice: avoid over saturated fields unless a specific customer wants to hire you but gives you a heads up that you need to ramp up.

Contributing to open source on github may also help. Just cloning other projects is not impressive to potential customers, but small (perhaps learning) projects of your own offer some verification of your ability.

While it might be possible to start a small business around a web service, it seems to me like it is safer to continually study and improve your skill sets and learn the skill of figuring out what customers need and do that for them.

Less anti-immigrant rhetoric... In France?
> It's that this is where the market is

However, that also means software engineers don't create that much value. I've been hiring developers myself, it takes half a year to get a senior engineer, even with extremely relaxed immigration laws like in Germany, just due to shortage. It's a weird paradox. If companies had enough money, I'd imagine SV engineers jumping on a plane to Berlin right away.
I have a difficult relationship with Thiel. On the one hand, it is hard not to agree with some the quotes found in his Zero to One book ( "the most contrarian thing of all is not to oppose the crowd, but to think for yourself" ).

On the other, Palantir, based on what we know about it, is the embodiment of what I do not want in society. I am not sure I am happy what he did with Gawker debacle.

In other words, I am kinda interested in his gospel, but I am not sure I like what that gospel results in.
It is true what you say and demonstrated by where the TBM will inevitably start - at the London end.

There is a congestion problem at Paddington in the West and with St Pancras/Euston in the north of London. So even if HS2 only gets to do its work at the London end before politicians cancel it then this part of the north-west London will be done, unblocking access to London for express trains. If they started in Birmingham and got cancelled they would not get this bit done.

There is also property speculation to consider, already far out places like Reading are now more accessible for London due to HS2, driving up house prices. A half completed HS2 that doesn't get to Birmingham will have a similar effect.
As others are saying: it depends.

Without knowing more about your situation and its context within the larger org, it's difficult to make any judgments.

All I'll say is that I've internalized all these best practices and yet here I am running various products on various VPS's with a git post-receive hook and then logging in to the servers and recompiling or restarting. I have no tests, the code is not properly commented, and I've only written typespecs (Elixir) for the crucial bits of some of these apps, and I truly believe I've made the right decisions.

In recent weeks I've pushed for refactoring, and I managed to get some hours to work on a better deployment strategy. When more money becomes available I'll push for writing tests and working on documentation. The goal then would be to remove the 'bus factor' of 1.

I imagine you're nowhere near this particular scenario, but I imagine you're on a scale somewhere and I hope you figure out what the right standards are for you.
Besides the other suggestions, you can do things like start julia using the --compile=min or -O0 command line flags to reduce / eliminate compilation overhead and make it startup quicker.

The beta version of version 1.5.0 starts up in 0.25 seconds with --compile=min and I believe it's the same on 1.4.0
Since this is a calculator topic, I'd like request your input on which calculators you use.

I use the Emacs calculator (M-x calc) and XCalc (http://www.tordivel.no/xcalc/) as I like to use RPN calculators. The Windows 10 calculator is painful and slow. XCalc has a mini mode, where it will sit as a small, single line without distracting you too much. I like that feature very much.

One thing with Emacs is that I forget the shortcuts for non-frequent calculations that I'd have to go and search for it.
But those wheels are the real marvel of precise engineering! You could never experience such a smooth roll before.
It was probably an ill-constructed phrase, yes. I was trying to convey something like "there exists, shared by a large number of people (although not all), a definition of the word "prayer", such that it is functional, objectively meaningful
, deep, well-understood and consensus-based, which is deeper than the previously suggested definition, and which makes more sense in the context in which it was used". I don't know how to put that into clean words without inviting a squabble.
We do not know if human brain is indeed Turing-complete, or even if it is a Turing machine at all. Human Mind certainly is, but if brain is or not we do not know.
As a counter point, I have seen technology adopted in the EU in ways that the US has lagged far, far behind. Probably the best example of this is chip & PIN for credit cards. In the US we finally have chips, but still no PIN.
The "polderen" one is a bit weird, but I think if I said "poldering" everyone where I live (the Netherlands, but I'm from an English speaking country) would know what I meant.

The Dutch term for the process is "poldermodel", and in English we use "polder model", and everyone here knows it. Basically, once you've told someone "people meet and hash things out until a consensus is formed" then the English term is stolen fair and square.

The actual Dutch term is pretty recent, from the 1980s or so I think.
I thought the same thing, but after reading what the comment said again it wasn't a "use terraform or don't" story, it was terraform vs "import prototype".

Generally for most resources, I feel like I can write terraform just as fast as I could create the resources in the console.

Probably not a good example, but I agree with the sentiment that you have to prioritize the business.
Growth Loops
That is very generous. Looking at Swedish subtitles of Hollywood movies I often cringe at idioms translated word by word rather than to common Swedish equivalents. These make no sense if you don't happen to know the English already.

When watching dubbed things (which in Swedish means exclusively children's shows) I often hear things which make little sense until I suddenly realise there's an English sentence with similar structure that would make sense in this context.

edit: In other words, translations often fail to make sense when poorly done, and a lot of them are.
While I agree that comparing a human brain or mind to a Turing machine is not helpful, the objection you make here is less significant than it first appears.

There is a subtle difference between unbounded recursion, which a Turing machine is taken to be capable of, and the actual ability to achieve infinite recursion. In no application of a Turing machine, either as an actual physical device or as a hypothetical one in a logical argument, is it ever required to perform infinite recursion, which would just be one way of not halting.

For all practical and theoretical purposes, what matters is that the machine being considered does not exhaust its ability to recurse while performing the computations being considered. Consequently, the standard practice, of saying that computers and certain other devices are Turing-equivalent, with the usually-implicit caveat of being so up to the limit of their recursive ability, is both reasonable and useful.
Better yet, kubectl can take a jsonpath expression to select from the JSON. For example, to just get a name:

I was expecting the Dutch word "gezellig" to be on the list. I found "polderen" instead. Interesting, "gezellig" is much more used in day to day life than "polderen". I am not even sure most Dutch know what it means.

I've actually tried that:

At the end the friction was just annoying and no one else really understood the greatness of this approach, since they didn't know Clojure...

Intel doesn't directly advice for neither of the 3 methods. It simply states that handcrafting assembly code is faster which is always the case anyway.

So everybody can see how dishonest pjmlp is towards Go, here is their interpretation of Intel's conclusion:

> Intel has recently published an article on using Go, their advice? Manually use cgo or Go Assembly for the AVX.

.

.

And here is the actual Intel conclusion from the link:

> The examples show how to use Intel AVX-512 with Go to improve application performance using three different methods: direct access with Go assembly, using the Go cgo interface with intrinsics for Intel AVX-512, and via indirect access with 3rd party libraries such as Gonum.

> Each method showed that using Intel AVX-512 improved Go application performance, with shorter execution times and improved date throughput overall. Using Go assembly with direct access to the CPU instruction set was faster than indirect access using cgo or Gonum.

> Clear Linus OS makes it easy to use Intel AVX-512 in Go because Clear Linux OS provides a deeply optimized software stack, including Intel AVX-512 enabled software.

.

.

To say pjmlp's interpretation was uncharitable is an understatement.
