You're making a lot of assumptions about my situation that you can't backup with evidence. It might be true. It might not be. But you seem to make a strong stance for that I worked on apps with low stakes/impact and that they were fairly simple. You don't know that, so why paint that view so strongly?

> On a side note, I don’t agree with bootcamps as they don’t teach the core principles of computer engineering and software design.

I did both. I studied CS and happened to work as a teacher at a coding bootcamp while studying CS.

> Coding is just a skill, and you need some fundamental knowledge behind it in order to execute it safely and robustly.

Emphasis mine.

I disagree with this. I've seen many experienced software engineers knowing nothing about how to hack (important for safe code execution), I've had a couple of courses in it and did some hackthebox.eu after that. So I know as much about hacking as I know about software engineering, I'm a junior in both cases. Nevertheless, I am the one that finds major security vulnerabilities in the code of the company I work for.

A lot of security issues isn't fundamental as the "fundamentals" are things like: "look for configuration errors" or "look for hardware bugs that hardware vendors haven't looked deeply enough yet" or "look for a place where humans are careless" (e.g. the suidbash vulnerability is an example of the last one). That's a lot fuzzier and vague than CS fundamentals.
Here is a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tX4H_ctggYo and the associated HN thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22282452 that provide some more background on GA and its applications.

I think you're generally right that GA is a rebranding of concepts we already knew about, however representing them in a uniform manner seems like a useful thing to do. The at t=4083 in the video they show some interesting examples of projections, rotations, and other geometric operations that can be done quite simply https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tX4H_ctggYo&t=4083
One thing I'd expect to see more of in this type of article would be understanding the business domain. It sounds like you understand the value of doing so from your section on leaning what others around you are doing. But I think over time, you'll see that learning those specific business nuances is what separates the promising engineer from the seasoned veteran who hears a business problem and already knows the 4 ways it's been attempted to be solved and why they didn't work. And importantly, still has the optimism to try again in a different way! I recognize every organization is different so YMMV.

Rereading my post it may have came off as a bit of a backhanded compliment and wasn't intended as such. Terrific post. I think it will help a lot of people.
Get a self hosted cloud like nextcloud and create accounts for each user. Nextcloud will allow you to expose directories as webdav shares which you can mount on each user's computer. Then just use desktop office suite like libre office to do all work that will be inherently saved online. Users will be able to share their documents freely between each other.

>Teaching and computers don't mix. Certainly not before eighth grade.

I believe this is categorically and catastrophically wrong.

I have led a very privileged life. I'm 45 and I was exposed to computer programming when I was in third grade. That's 1983. With old Atari computers. It was basically 10 print "Jonathan is great" 20 GOTO 10 But already we had an understanding of job flow and loops. By 5th grade I was playing Robot Odyssey. At the time I never took it seriously; there's only so much you can do with BASIC but myself and my friends already "got" how computers worked by the age of 8.

I can't tell you how much of an advantage I have over not only my peers but even people younger than I am. Those precious few moments I spent in the computer lab hacking (yes, hacking. I figured out how to change the color of the background/border and the main screen, figured out how the color codes were expressed and learned how to generate random numbers, and wrote a program that would probably induce a seizure in some epileptics) resulted in me having a fundamental understanding of not only how computers work, but how to hack.

Trust me, 8, even 6 & 7 year olds can learn how to program computers. Even if it's LOGO/Turtle Graphics. You can gamify problem solving and instill in young kids a fundamental understanding of things that will serve them for their entire professional career.

Thanks for bringing this up because I have struggled to understand why I seem to have such an advantage over my peers when it comes to working on computers and I just realized why. None of my peers were "programming" before high school. To me "hacking" comes naturally because I first learned it at such a young age.

I wouldn't worry so much about the future of our country if every 3rd grader got the EXACT same exposure and opportunity to play with programming and computers that I did. Granted, not all kids are going to take to it like I did, but the point is to expose every young American school kid to these activities so that if and when they choose to become software devs or machine learning engineers or even just spreadsheet jockeys, they get logic, programming, and computers on a fundamental level.

"Alcor, for example, charges what amounts to a fee to perform the preservation and a fee to go into a fund that will be invested to pay for your ongoing preservation."

As a Buddhist we do “contemplation of death” meditation on a regular basis. It involves imagining our last few hours on our deathbed. It is a wonderful exercise to help put things in context. It makes you behave differently towards people you meet, even strangers.
Hmm, well Dead Cells is a roguelike castlevania and fairly unique in that regard. Rogue Legacy 1 and 2 are probably a good match.

I'd put Risk of Rain down as the one of the best generic rogue action games to recommend. The first one is a 2D shooter. The second one is a 3D shooter and is especially good for online co-op. I would recommend starting with the second one.

Is this maybe the difference between AI and ML?

I would expect an AI to be some higher level agent (according to the agent model) that modifies its own code while it does its work.

ML is done independently from the work and if you don't do it again (manually), the model won't change itself.

I am speculating now, because these terms are either vague, or specific to a domain that I don't know, but it seems like the "pixel simulation" doesn't just mean that there is "physics capability" / "fully destructible environment" that is then rendered as pixels,
but also that the pixel is the unit of the physics engine? i.e. the visible square is the input to and output of the simulation? Is that correct?
Fun fact, a company has no right to good PR. You're welcome to champion an effort to put a "right to good PR" into law, while the rest of us champion right to repair.

Some hard to find tips that are a bit old (tested on OS X Lion), but most of them still work:
https://software.clapper.org/cheat-sheets/mac-os-x.html

For me, an immediately useful tip was hiding user login for Git user.

I would add the following tips to above article:

# System resource usage

* USE Method: Mac OS X Performance Checklist: http://www.brendangregg.com/USEmethod/use-macosx.html

# Emacs users

* For Emacs users with their config in version control, I would recommend downloading the latest Emacs.app version 27.1 instead of using Aquamacs, because Aquamacs has a bunch of customizations that do not play so well with original Emacs.

https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/

# Printing

* If you have Acrobat or Acrobat Professional installed, add an Adobe PDF printer from System Preferences > Printers and scanners, so you can make better PDF files by printing from any application.

* You can save anything as PDF by choosing "Save as PDF" from the dropdown on the lower left corner on any print dialog.

* Open CUPS web UI by opening the following URL in a web browser:

http://localhost:631/
http://localhost:631/printers/

You may need to enable the web user interface by issuing:

cupsctl WebInterface=yes

Warning! Be sure that you are behind NAT or a firewall so as not to expose the web UI to internet!
Those aren't misreads, those are ambiguous tests. The computer would get false negatives on those.
It doesn't have a function key row, which is annoying when you just want to press F5 10 times, or Ctrl+Shift+F10. It also doesn't have separate arrow keys etc.

Being able to join it together isn't very useful -- if you can type on a split keyboard, why would you want to join it together?

But, it's a decent option that you can simply buy. Many of the better options are sold as DIY kits, or at least require editing a text file and re-flashing the keyboard to change the layout.

Well in say Super Mario, most of the sprites aren't simulated at all. They're sitting at fixed locations in the world. The viewpoint changes, but the sprites (tiles) stay where they are.

In this respect Noita is like Minecraft, in that each pixel (block) can change. However in Minecraft the state of each block in the world changes while its position is fixed. In Noita each 1x1 sprite (pixel) can move around on its own.

"How do you conflate not existing before birth to not existing after death?"

How can you not? Do you remember what it was like before you were born? Do you know of anyone who told you what it is like to be dead? If we do not know what death is how do we know what life is? We only know it by it's external appearance, which really tells us nothing.

I am not an existentialist or a nihilist, I am a Daoist who is indeed over 50 although I wish I was a young kid again. I was also a Theravada Buddhist for 20 years and have studied a large chunk of the Tripiṭaka. The things I am talking about are not appreciated with a moments thought.

The goal of enlightenment is understanding and escaping Samsara, the endless cycle of birth and death and the suffering that comes along with it. This is why I am a Daoist now, I just do not worry about these things and do not live in fear of my life and feel like I have to run out and "live life to my fullest" because of death, I do it because of life.

I went through this a short while ago for a new side project. You can totally use Mix and you'll be fine to get going with initially but you lose a lot of the benefits of BEAM. A proper BEAM "release" has several key advantages. Most of them are in the Elixir docs [1] but I'll point out the ones I like.

* You don't need to include the source code because you have the pre-compiled code in the release, that includes packages as well. No need to `mix deps.get` on production. They don't even require Erlang / Elixir on the production box because that's also baked directly into the release. As long as your architecture is the same as your build machine, you get a super light weight artifact and a simplified production stack.

* It's very easy to configure the BEAM vm from releases. I think most of this is possible through mix with everything installed on the box but using a release you get it put into the release artifact and there's no fussing around after that.

* It also makes life easier when you start using umbrella applications. You can keep your code together and cut releases of individual applications under the umbrella. That lets you scale your application while keeping it together in a single unit (if that's your thing).

There are other benefits, but ultimately it's the way the erlang/elixir/beam community seem to prefer. For me this was the selling point, as I expect tooling will continue in that direction rather than supporting mix in production.

Your history is confused. You're confusing the French Revolution and the American Revolution. Change in Europe came primarily due to a working example in America. America was, in a very real sense, a beacon of hope and freedom for the rest of the world.

The French Revolution in isolation was entirely regressive. It led to a lot of unpredictable chaos AND it slowed productive change. An ill-executed plan is a setback. You can see what the example of the USSR did to Communism.

I think I started this thread by saying we need to push FOR something positive, rather than AGAINST something. That's prerequisite to positive change. Pushing for something requires a plan. That requires discussion, debate, open-mindedness, and a mixture of pragmatism and idealism. Mostly, it requires a lot of deep conversation and thoughtfulness.
This seems to be caused by heat, not the gravity. The article includes a story about a lamp being left on in a mine that caused enough thermal expansion to be measured by a seismometer.

That doesn't mean rocks are conscious, it means the things that live on rocks are conscious - an interesting idea that appears to scale well.

There is no CS solution to the hard problem, because the hard problem is not about information, or behaviour, or data compression, or rocks. It's about subjectivity, and there isn't even a working definition of what subjectivity is, never mind any experiment that can be done to confirm that it exists.

Subjectivity is essentially metaphysical in the sense that it's outside of science.

It's impossible to make a testable statement about any phenomenon of any kind that isn't filtered through human perception and all the layers of human cognitive processing.

In a very real sense it's objectivity that's the illusion. Try to make a statement about anything whatsoever that is truly independent of collective human sense perception and human mental processes and see how far you get.

Whatever you think you're doing in science or math, you're looking out through a distorted window whose properties you're not aware of, and trying to correlate your observations with others looking out through windows with similar distortions.

The best you'll get is an interesting list of distortions which everyone agrees on. Even if they have predictive power, that doesn't make them truly objective - it just makes them a spiky median of collective experience instead of an outlier of individual experience.
I did something similar. I would browse my university’s library and come upon all sorts of interesting topics.

You will probably need a native speaker to help your pronunciation, especially for the 42 vowels, and the soft D, and stød.

For my first year studying Danish in Denmark, I could only speak "foreigner Danish" -- the bad accent that, somehow, other foreigners seem to understand (perhaps because we have a limited vocabulary) but which causes Danes to look confused, and repeat what they said in English.
If you use Windows 10 you accept the Terms and Services [0]. This also includes the Data Processing Addendum. So there is a legal basis for Microsoft to send Data to the US. Since Microsoft falls under FISA it has to give data to the authorities with no chance to appeal for the data subject. This violates the GDPR.

Ok this is the legal stuff.

Here is the technical stuff [1]. In short: Windows 10 sends all kind of data including whole documents to Microsoft USA and you can't stop it using the OS but have to apply Firewall rules and DPI.

So if you really want to use Microsoft you have to make a Data protection impact assessment for each new version of windows 10.
I know no one who does this. But if you ask the federal dpo they will tell you that they can't say if you can use windows 10 for this or that but you should asses it yourself using a data protection impact assessment.

I just hope nobody will ever touch this sticky ball
