The best advice I ever got regarding how to write a technical resume was all cribbed from Gayle McDowell's "The Google Resume".

The most salient piece of advice: Use a "what-how-what-impact" format in your work history's line items.

How to Translate a Website in 2020 [Full Guide]
You probably still run your startup in English only? Think again! With cost per paid click being astronomical, you would be better off looking for new blue oceans in other languages. I personally found my oceans in Spanish, French, German, Korean, Russian, Italian, Portuguese and Dutch languages. What about you?
I've compiled a thoroughly written article that can help you to understand how to effectively translate your website in 2020. No BS talk.

GrubHub describes themselves as a delivery service company, not a reseller. With resellers, I can comparison shop. GrubHub tries to make that difficult at best.
Is there a name for these kinds of articles? Serious matters of importance wrapped into Harry-Potteresque story lines

Should we call such articles Harry-Potter journalism?

There's also related style of articles, very popular in NYTimes, that could safely be called Ulysses journalism.
You should be good to go picking up "Type-driven development with Idris". It's a great book not just for learning Idris but also for hammering down the concept of using types and the compiler as a design pillar if you're not fully used to it.

I've experienced the opposite. I used to order pizza on a phone from a local shop a few times a month but then one day a machine answered the phone telling me to order using Grubhub. I've never bought anything from that business again.
In the past, I've had some really low-end setups.

The most low-end things I have nowadays are a pair of Neoware CA21 thin clients (VIA 800 MHz, 512 MB RAM, 512 MB flash storage) serving as DNS and NTP servers.

Pretty much everything else runs on my VMware vSphere cluster but I keep those going as the cluster needs functional DNS and NTP services when starting up from scratch (chicken and egg problem).

Interaction, in general, is where many, if not most, errors lie. Unit testing verifies that things work in isolation. But if you code up your unit tests for two components that interact, but with different assumptions, then the unit tests alone won't do you any good: X generates a map like `%{name => string()}`, Y assumes X generates a map like `%{username => string()}`. Now, hopefully that won't happen if you're writing both parts at the same time, but things like this can happen. Now your unit tests pass because they're based on the assumptions of their respective unit of code, but put it together and boom!

I legitimately don't understand these types of reactions.

At most, this should have prompted is "Well thats different"
We're moving from an age of consumers going to the good/service and to the good/service going to the consumer. In particular younger generations see delivery as a norm. It's less about being lazy or having high expectations and more a case of it being baked into the culture of younger generations now.

I work for a takewaway / food delivery company and it's facinating listening to what our customers are saying. I heard one parent say that their kids have sometimes ordered ice cream on a delivery platform rather than look to see if there's any in the freezer first. It's quickly becoming the norm to the point where peoples literal first thought is "can I order it?" rather than "can I go and get it?".

You got some bits wrong - after PERM is complete, the employer needs to file I-140 to request an immigrant visa but yes, it will be about a year or two to get a lower priority EB green card.

Now, compare with the H-1B, which, indeed, can have a quick certification, do you get a visa after these couple of weeks? No, you get in the lottery for available visas. Last I've heard, chances in H-1B lottery were ~1/3. But consider yourself lucky and assume you win every time, what is your time frame then? The lottery starts April 1st for the visas for the next FY, which starts October 1st. Give couple months for documents preparation and you are looking at ~10 months (+ n*years if you are not so lucky) from the decision to get H-1B and your first day on the job. E.g. if you wanted to come in on H-1B right now then you'd have to file on April 1st 2021 for the period starting on October 1st 2021. If you won the lottery next year first day of work would be 14 months from now.

If you lose the lottery just once, you are already behind the time it will take to get EB2 for people in most countries of the world.

But let's look at backlogged countries. They are not getting their greencards any faster by being in the country. Instead of waiting for 10-100 years in their home country, where they are first-class citizens, they will have to spend these 10-100 years as non-immigrants, renewing their temporary H-1Bs every 3 years in the best case (and every renewal can fail and they might fall out of status because of that), or applying for a new H-1B every time they change job (and these "transfers" can fail too, and if you are changing the job because of layoff - you are out of status again). I don't know, people are different and some maybe okay with this, but I suspect most do not understand this and get stuck because they were told that after 6 years on H-1B they will become LPRs so they keep going because they have already wasted 6 years.
We used to ignore them. I still do.
Really give it a go! It is beyond worldly. If you think Typescript is great, then ocaml/f# will make it look inferior.

> Plenty of women write from their perspective, which could be taken as misandry.

Women writing from their perspective != misandry any more than men writing from their perspective is misogyny. Those words have specific definitions that you are abusing to make a false equivalency.

And what's wrong with calling out historical misogyny when it is presented as wisdom? That's not to say Schopenhauer has nothing useful to offer, but his misogyny isn't one of those things. It's no different from calling out racism in a similar historical context - like acknowledging that Winston Churchill was a great statesman and also simultaneously a very racist person.

Schopenhauer's misogynistic perspective has long been the default of much of society, so it doesn't need to be treated with kid gloves.

> seeing from their perspective (e.g. the current protests, and Black Lives Matter).

18th century misogyny doesn't deserve the same hearing out as BLM protests against contemporary police brutality. That logic would also excuse the presentation of 18th century racism as a valid perspective today.
Eh, I'd be more interested in seeing how well each could be optimized for a specific workload.

For instance, take a peak of what Netflix has accomplished (200Gbps of TLS from single server). I'd wager that Windows Server could not be optimized to the same degree.

That is fundamentally not what Doordash says.

Doordash or whatever says 'for $x we will put a $y WhateverBurger burger into your hand,' but $y is already higher than a WhateverBurger costs. People are left thinking that $x isn't that high a cost for delivering a $y burger, but the actual delivery cost is $x plus some percentage of $y, so both the numerator and denominator are falsified.

They're lying about their value proposition.
If I see the support contract bills of my clients,

Intel is quite unconvincing on a lot of key aspects (10nm, 7nm, performance after spectre family mitigations, etc) but to me the biggest danger is their inability to commit and persist on pretty much any topic which isn't their mainstream CPU line.

They sold Xscale, they sold their modem division (admittedly it was terrible, but I refuse to believe it was unfixable, certainly Apple didn't).

This creates hesitation in prospective customers of anything which isn't their mainstream CPU business, reducing them to a one trick pony. And that pony is now having its lunch eaten from both below (ARM) and above (Epyc).

Their operating profit and their reserves mean little if prices go down - they are used to fat, lofty margins and I'm not sure they still know how to execute without them.

Think about what happens to the shale oil businesses once crude prices approach their extraction costs. You implode very quickly no matter how big you are.
So many questions ;-)

Yes, I have still quite some fun with FPGAs. I am interested into open source tooling, e.g., using Chisel and want to look into yosys.

Redesign of JOP: 1. switch from VHDL to Chisel, 2. change the cache to be able to read one bytecode per clock cycle, 3. maybe some bytecode fusion (executing more than one per clock cycle), 4. time-predictable branch prediction.

Mmh, looks like there is some open work ;-)

> (The only problem is nobody likes that, for some reason. People seem to prefer inflation to taxation.)

the reason for this is fairly obvious. if you have a positive net worth, cash is probably a small fraction of your total assets, which limits the direct harm you face from inflation. if you have a negative net worth (ie, you have debt), inflation erodes the real value of your obligations over time. in general, this is already priced into the interest, but you certainly wouldn't want to see inflation decrease while you're repaying a loan, and you might be happy to see it increase.
Late reply, but I think this is important.

I agree about credential-shaming, however, note my second paragraph, which was "failing that , did you..."

I feel the same thing about programming. Do you have an education? Failing that, are you experienced with and do you follow the practices accepted by the industry?

Likewise, I also point out that not doing a thorough review of the literature, but only reviewing part of the literature is a bad practice when arguing against the consensus reached by people who review all of the literature and data.

It was totally up to the author of that comment to say, "Yes, I am an epidemiologist." Or to say, "No I'm not, but I subscribe to the following journals and have read 82 results, here they are."

Nobody needs to have credentials for anything in my book, but if someone doesn't have them, the onus is really on them to show that they reached their conclusion via method and rigour.

Otherwise, they are really, REALLY vulnerable to unconscious bias, which means that I am not willing to give their conclusion much weight, even if it seems supported by the results they choose to cite.

Why not make it opt-in rather than opt-out?
Nothing too specialized.

I use Google Bookmarks to "queue" up readings that I want to review; generally I don't let this exceed ~10 (otherwise I know I'll never get to them). I use Google Keep to jot down raw thoughts/notes (e.g. if I'm learning a new concept or hear something interesting on a podcast) throughout the day. Then, every weekend I review all of these notes (say between 10 and 60) and "structure" them into organized domains (e.g. sociology, biology, finance, psychology, history) and clean them up before putting them into OneNote.

I generally don't check my OneNote so often - except if I know I have notes related to a topic and I'd like to review them (say antifragility or neural annealing) - but the two-step process of writing down the notes, then revisiting/refining them later tends to aid my retention substantially.

I'd say during an average week I spend about 1-2 hours on this process. Sometimes, if I've been inundated with new information, it can be up to 4-6 hours, especially when I have a lot of queued readings to go through. Overall though I've considered it well-worth the investment.
> I am still waiting for Nvidia to make their play in CPU Market. May be a move in ARM Server CPU space.

What makes you think they are better prepared for this than, say, Qualcomm... or even Intel?

Despite Apple's decision to switch to ARM, I'm still not convinced it's the right architecture for the servers of the future. It more likely indicates Apple's convergence to a single platform, away from the classic desktop.
Living in Europe, I remember the staple of every neighborhood was a bakery and with every meal there was bread on the table. The day started and ended with that loaf. The best I can say for the part of the US i live in now is artisan bakeries that make desserts.

> those types of products are causing problems health wise on a macro scale

I suspect the same thing with most of the food supply in the US. Markets are very good at driving the price of good down while maintaining the quality just "good enough" to satisfy the consumer. Ex. you can get a hamburger for $1 at McD's or 6 nuggets for $1 at BurgerKing. I don't think large scale agriculture can provide high quality food to the masses.
https://www.statista.com/statistics/794278/disabled-populati...

Let's take the first-order approximation that 15% of the population is disabled and cannot get their own food. A quick, but by no means, thorough search shows both government and private programs to help these people obtain nutritious food. We could delve into this and go down the rabbit hole of what % of that 15% cannot prepare food or even feed themselves, but I don't have data on that. Yes, delivery might be a need in some of those cases where family, friends, programs, etc. don't exist. These can be a special case, perhaps < 10% of total population.

My comments are directed at the other 90% of keyboard pushers who whine that they're getting charged too much / businesses are being harmed when they click a button for Beef Lo Mein.
That looks to my mostly uneducated eye like a badly designed intersection. You can't just slap a cycle lane (especially two-way) in and expect it to work, that's a poor solution.

Compare to here, https://goo.gl/maps/F1mufzKACT3XpDZa6, just as a fairly random example. You see that the car traffic is forced, via traffic calming (i.e. the raised footpath) to slow, has obvious lower priority than bikes and pedestrians, and can't really proceed without being strongly encouraged to look first. A couple more interesting samples at the bottom that are designed with safety in mind, and in my experience work well.

Taking an existing road, slapping a bike line on one side, and calling it a useful test is not really effective. This is why I mentioned design is important.

What is interesting from your PDF (which I just skimmed, so don't know if it's representative) is that the number of people cycling increased, so it looks like people felt it was safer even if it really wasn't. I suspect that if you managed to get that up to real numbers of people cycling, then drivers would naturally become a lot more aware also.

That assumes we should all seek to progress towards someone's ideal of human behavior and thought patterns. Why should she self-examine? To adhere to your standards for behavior? To a segment of society's standard? I argue that we need journalists and others who make us uncomfortable. That's how we learn to examine ideas for their own merit. If we cancel out people who espouse radical ideas, we cut off the pipeline of critical thinking, debate, and the surfacing of ideas. The only way to a better society is through more ideas. Not forced adherence to one that people are scared to challenge.

Her persona doesn't need to be fixed. She needs to be invited to more forums, so critically thinking adults can examine her ideas and either accept, reject, or refine those ideas.

I agree, but I think such information should be available to all people.
Some people will be doing this anyway, and they can hide this by using a transparent pixel.
These are fair points, all of which I think could be addressed by finding the optimal taxation point.

The keyhole solution I favor would be something like: a US passport for 10 years, with no political rights or access to SS/Medicare/medicaid/etc., costs $10k, if you lived here for 10 years and didn't get arrested or anything then that transitions into full citizenship; maybe if you earned a certain amount of money/paid a certain amount of taxes in that time, you get your 10k back. Something like that, anyway.

(FWIW my first choice would be a much, much lower barrier to entry -- this is what I came up with to try to address concerns like those raised in this thread.)

But, again, if you accept that the default moral position is non-violence -- i.e. people have a prima facie right to move where they want, and if you threaten to hurt them for doing so (by putting them in jail, or making the only available border crossing extremely dangerous), then you are acting wrongly -- then I think it becomes natural to begin looking for solutions to whatever externalities you can think of. That's why I favor arguing the moral case for immigration before anything else: http://www.owl232.net/papers/immigration.htm
How about you have to charge the fee to the customer. The issue isn't taking 25%. It's taking 25% from the restaurant, which means they don't have a profit margin left.

If for example the pizza is $10 at the restaurant, make that $12.50 with delivery and $10 without. That way the consumer can decide themselves if they want to pay the added amount for delivery, or if they'd rather walk/drive. Right now they charge you $10 and give the restaurant only $7.50 meaning they can't make a profit on that pizza.
