I'm sure GP means they are not explicitly about calculating a circle.

Lots of values of pi occur in various formulas all of which end up going back to a circle or trig function at some point, (for example fourier transforms, normal distributions, any periodic motion, etc).
I feel ya, I did not graduate either, and didn't go for CS. After having Linux as a hobby, I made my way into a web dev job. The "good enough" work is killing me. I feel like I am pushing and pulling my team to the light, even simple things like DRY.

I think one thing I'm learning is where to spend my effort. Its definitely a balance, but I'm putting more time/passion into my personal projects/learning, whereas before I saw more opportunities for overlap with my passion and work. When your work doesn't recognize that effort or actively fights against those efforts, it's draining and frustrating.

I've also been thinking about dedicating some serious time to learning. I keep thinking about the idea of taking a month or two off from work. Just treat myself to my own mini-semester of homeschool. I'm somewhat confident I could learn enough to land a better job, but more importantly, one I enjoy more.

One thing to keep in mind: support for running generic Linux on anything past Braswell (so, 2016 or so) in a Chromebook is pretty much impossible - the replacement firmware doesnt exist, or has major issues like not supporting suspend/resume. Most Apollo Lake and newer Chromebooks support running Debian in a VM inside ChromeOS though - there is quite a bit you can do this way.

It's not outlandish. Apple did the same thing nearly 20 years ago with their MacOS. They threw out their OS, and replaced it with BSD Unix. Saved them millions. They just put the Apple GUI over the top of BSD.

I suggested that Microsoft 'do an Apple' on the Mini-Microsoft website way back around 2008. It was laughed at back then by all the Softies. Seems it's not quite such a funny idea nowadays.

I didn't intend to "talk down" to you, sorry if it came off that way. I just didn't agree with your original statement that programmers' performance has little/nothing to do with why people use Netflix. I still think you're completely wrong about that.

It can't have been that many decades, the WWW has only existed for 3 decades.[1] Even I've written at least one webpage in every single one of those decades. :-P

Of course they don't.

The real point here isn't performance, it's simplicity. But also not having to trade away performance to get simplicity is nice.
I can definitely say a lot of focus and innovation is happening on the studio side of Netflix. This is where tools for casting, managing the logistics of filming, budgeting, etc are being built in order to scale up Netflix's ability to create content. I spent the last 2.5 years of my time on this side. https://jobs.netflix.com/teams/studio-technologies

My first 3 years were on the consumer side, working on the TV client. I'm a bit more out of touch here. But I'd still say interesting engineering is happening here. I agree sometimes it is "marginal gain at massive scale", but that can be really satisfying and challenging in its own right. There are many different teams focusing on a lot of different things here. The consumer side is pretty much entirely driven by A/B tests. So teams might take on a big idea, but it can be hard for those to beat out the established norm sometimes. That may be a factor in why you feel the product is "static". Also the wide range of devices and internet connections can segment engineering. Many efforts apply across the board, but other projects might only apply to say high end game consoles for example.

Regarding "get the right content to the right users", I don't have much experience with that. That's more in the domain of backend teams. I do know they also do A/B tests to guide innovation, but that's about all I can confidently say there.

"Nobody ever got fired for buying IBM" -> Microsoft
IANAL and I have no involvement in the Apple ecosystem, so take with a grain of salt:

My understanding is that GPLv3 requires that anyone who gets a binary can also get the source to it, and can then build and run that source on the same device. Even if Apple now allows distribution of software that demands to also share its source code, it's my understanding that you can't build that code and run the result on your iPhone without either rebuilding/reinstalling every 7 days or paying Apple. That certainly seems to be against the intention of the license, although I admit it may technically squeak by the exact requirements.

On a different note, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_General_Public_License#Leg... also suggests that there's an issue around a person having a copy of an app not being able to share it with other people.

You could put the SSD in an external USB enclosure, I've had luck with that strategy for "spinning rust" external drives.
What you're illustrating here is that "awake", "asleep", "death", and "life", are pretty terrible metaphors for states our computers exist in.

Saying my laptop is "asleep" when it's suspended is verbally cromulent, no one would be confused by what I meant. But the metaphor breaks down badly on any attempt to extend it.

Even if I brick it, I have the option to purchase fresh equipment and restore from the most recent backup. If my timing is good, there may be no difference from my perspective.

This isn't possible with living things, and it might not even be possible, the fond dreams of mind-upload enthusiasts notwithstanding.

Minecraft via mods. As exemplified in this post, the Minecraft community makes good tools for map making and otherwise transforming the base Minecraft game into whatever you want.

Not meaning to be dismissive, but why not just Minecraft? There is a large modding community. And there's something called Adventure mode which puts more constraints on the player (can't destroy blocks), which can be used to make goal-oriented maps.
Having never played minecraft what does that mean? Is this like discovering the exact number on which everything is based in the entire minecraft generated world?

I assume with this seed you can predict everything else that is seemingly random within the world. The location of items/loot etc and spawn times?

I think there's a big legal distinction between publishing unaltered user content that contains offensive content and creating such content yourself (the subtitles are created by Google software, thus, by Google). It is similar to banning a lot more words from "auto complete" than actually banning them from the search items that can be used if you were to actually type them, it's because the "auto complete" content can be argued that it's Google generated content and as such Google might be legally liable for it.

Why do mobile platforms have the confidence to do this? I'd imagine businesses would gravitate towards web apps if native apps require restrictions like these. Discoverability over app stores is a benefit for sure but is it that much easier to get featured on an app store compared to SEO and online advertising for a web app?

Are you referring to GA or GP? GP is not comparable to simulated annealing, as it's kind of non-parametric.

Many ideas of GP are getting reused in Bayesian program induction, in conjunction with differentiable programming, SAT solvers, etc [1]. IMHO a very promising route to AGI.

Perception is a fascinating thing. I like Jordan Peterson's observation that "what we aim at determines what we see." So a person's perception of reality can be completely different depending on what they are aiming at.

One might assume that all beings are wired with the aim of individual success, but there also seems to be a considerable variance in the amount of "affective empathy" in humans.

Those who tend more towards "low affective empathy" might perceive that with "high affective empathy" "don't get it", when, in reality our aim for individual success conflicts with another aim: "care and concern" for the wellbeing of others.

We are less willing to play the kinds of ruthless games they are willing to play because we are constrained by the amount of pain we will experience if we do so.

I strongly suspect that ability to experience affective empathy is a competitive disadvantage in the zero sum game.

I'm not sure about the old days, but I believe Costco has stated they cap their markup at 15% -- which along with membership fees pays for employee salary, operations, and profit.

Credit is almost a necessity in American life, even if it is theoretically possible to buy a house paid in cash up-front. Doing so would be stupid because of opportunity costs on that cash.

Apple now offers 0% interest financing. This isn't really a matter of using credit / paying in cash as it is literally free money that a class of people who may not have credit will not have access to.
Google is quite scrupulous about robots.txt.

Speaking as a tenured professor, I disagree with this -- the trade-offs are more varied than you present them, and the individual differences are probably larger than the categorical differences. It's probably true in general that the younger professors are more likely to both stay up until 3:00 in the morning writing a paper with you and expect you to stay up until 3:00 in the morning writing that paper, but I don't think there is any difference in how much they care or don't about their students.

(The flip side of this advice is often presented as the junior faculty are more likely to help you write a lot of papers, if that's your goal. But again, look at the person. )

(I agree completely with talking to former students, of course. More information is always good. )

This article seems to talk about one particular professor, if I'm not wrong. Does anyone know if the majority of the advisors at MIT behave like this? Has anyone else on this forum had any experience like this? I'm sure if the advisor is an influential person who brings in a lot of research money, the administrators would try to ignore these complaints. I recently read about a case in Melbourne Uni. The professor was accused of sexual harassment and the uni only gave him a voluntary retirement and protected him from prosecution.
I think the "molokai" theme mentioned a couple times might actually be "monokai" getting autocorrected. This is probably better known as "the Sublime Text 2 default theme" to most.
Welcome to Visual Studio, the home of updates that take hours to install and sometimes end up bricking your IDE.

To be fair, that hasn't happened in a pretty long time for me - but in the earlier days it was commonplace. It used to be bleeding edge features that would do it, other times it was just because they took so long, that interrupting the process of upgrading or installing caused a mess. Or installing the newest version alongside the older version, etc.

Visual Studio is a massive and complex creature (much like other "big IDEs", such as Eclipse) - although it has become much more streamlined in more recent releases - considering how complex it is.

EDIT: To be clear, problems often involved corruption of registry values, library/DLL hell, small database or configuration files and caches, etc. that happened with Visual Studio in the scenarios above.
