Fwiw, my default method of managing the NVIDIA drivers on Ubuntu 18.04 is by installing the System76 driver package using the directions from their site. I found that to make it way easier than doing it manually, especially bc I needed to manage two CUDA versions on one machine.

I wouldn't guess that switching away from GNOME would break hardware compatibility drivers, but I could be wrong.
I think Google genuinely wants their AI to be better in most of the same ways the ethic researchers want it to be better. I think Google is more willing to compromise on having an ethical AI to meet other goals and priorities than the researchers. Google probably also expects researchers who are publishing papers critical of Google to highlights Google's efforts to mitigate those issues.

For what it’s worth, I’ve never met a successful academic or PhD who takes such a laborious approach to reading and taking notes for research papers. There’s not enough time in the world to spend four hours on one article, unless perhaps you’re a student ... and even then.

Consider your example: If you pay a tradesperson to 'do a job' you should expect that they will cut every corner available to them that isn't in the contract. If you are paying for time, you might expect them to do a more thorough job. Which is better depends on a number of factors.

They do a lot more work to make the rebranded laptops work well with Linux than just putting a sticker on the case. The reason I purchased one wasn't for "lifestyle" but because even my Dell XPS or Toshiba X1 for work, which work about as good as you can expect of any laptop running Linux, are fucking annoying day to day because of tiny nits. With the System76 laptop, I literally never fuck around with stuff, it just works with everything I have on my desk.

I do admit that in today's world a laptop is almost useless (I have nowhere to go!), and I plan to transition to a real desktop sometime soon, since it's just so much more powerful and useful overall.
It's still 2020 and actually I find 1920x1080 to be plenty sufficient in a 15" laptop.
As a new developer in early 2000, I couldn’t tell the difference between Java and JavaScript. I felt very ashamed of that.
> Unit testing won’t help you write good code.

This is factual and irrelevant. Writing good software is more than just writing "good code". Unit tests help reproducibility. They help orient contributors, too, as failing tests give clues and passing tests give comfort. Plus, if you have automation like Dependabot updating your libs, you want a basic sense of whether the fully automatic updates are sane from looking at the test results.
This is exactly it! We wanted to make it readable. I know its not great and its something I want to improve. I'm taking notes from all of the suggestions in this thread.

This is a fine guide for beginner and intermediate self-learners.

To extend it, consider how to "go beyond the text". It is not enough to read in order to think better (upgrading mental models). The wise read in order to live better.

"How can I connect the concepts in the text to an image, action, or experience?" "How do ideas in the form of words advance the progress of one's life and work?"

Knowledge (concepts, ideas, theory, language) is valuable insofar as it shapes the practice of life. When there is a clear path from learning to doing, attention, focus, and engagement are naturally piqued. And without a clear means of applying knowledge, it's natural for attention to flow towards "distractions", because at a deeper level one knows that this knowledge, while perhaps generally valuable, isn't specifically valuable in the present moment.

With the goal of extending the value of information beyond the sanitized realm of theory, reading becomes more fluid and joyful, and what were once "distractions" or "intrusive thoughts" become "flashes of inspiration" and "connecting the dots".

With earnest intention to apply newly acquired knowledge to life beyond language, one simplifies the process of integrating new knowledge with old.
The solution to all this seems simple to me. Have the site just accept both formats, the old wiki format and the new [not yet decided] format. Then each page will just have to have a format option. Then, slowly, pages can be converted, even if manually - perhaps just auto-converting and then fixing the manual stuff. And I'm sure there's a number of articles that are just simple links and they can be converted right away.

You can put bounties or some kind of incentive for people to take on the conversion, but I think if the new format is better, a number of people will feel strongly enough about it to want to convert each article when it's updated. And even if 12 years from now some articles aren't converted, so what?

I think you're right, but also a little bit backward on things.

TSMC is conservative, but, with the continued guaranteed high-dollar buys from Apple, they have tremendous freedom to invest in R&D in an almost fearless way that any company would envy.

This is also why people trying to give all credit to TSMC for the performance of A-series chips are also selling Apple short on that side of the ball there too. TSMC would not be in the position they are right now without Apple's partnership powering their capital investments.

So in short, Apple's backing isn't proof that TSMC 5nm is good, it's actually a large part of why TSMC 5nm is good, and even exists in the first place.
Yes but DocuSign gives you a certificate chain that you can check the digital signature with.
In Hungary we have the obligation of a 10minutes break by law.
Since I've started to take 5minutes of break every hour, whatever I was doing, but really. I was in full blast "code" mode, in the flow, or whatever you want to call it, I just paused. No matter what. Even if you enjoying what you do. Just stop! In the middle of a "coding block", or a smaller feature I was implementing, I just paused. Than just really tried not to think about anything at all, for those 5minutes.
This mind exercise really helped me with my daily problem solving ability. I feel like the longer I am doing this, the better it gets over time. Its amazing.
I, for one, normally run my 15" laptop in 1600x900 mode when using on my lap (when using as a "desktop" I have two 32" screens at my desk), because of my old eyes, most of the Retina-lovers here must be the younger folks. I do like the feel/look of a Retina screen, but even when I borrowed a hi-res 4k laptop I had it set to something like 300% magnification.
So JavaScript meant "complement to Java, but converted to machine language in the browser, instead of compiled?"

> Why do you think US has so many big tech firms compared to Europe and other places? And why is there so much war between tech companies specifically in US?

Historical/incidental reasons I suppose. I think a lot of it has to do with a lot of the big tech giants, and a lot of VC being centered there (especially around SV specifically) so there is a lot of defensive hiring. When facebook pays a developer $250k per year, it's not only because of the value they're providing facebook, but it's because of the value they could provide a startup which could compete with facebook. By driving up the price of talent, they price startups out of the market.

Startups in Europe have much less access to VC funding, so they are less of a threat.

Indeed it was, however:

- Stewards ruled for 1000 years. I would wager that the idea that Kings would return and that stewards rule was a temporary thing was a purely ceremonial thing. We do not know (or at least I do not know - perhaps it is stated somewhere in the books) whether the people of Gondor would find a randomly found King more legitimate to rule them than the Stewards' line. Aragorn is a special case, since he had been running a long-con PR campaign well before the War of the Ring, and was acclaimed as a ruler because he was an effective commander in the great war - Dunedain heritage may not have been necessary.

- Right to rule some land because of one's birth is of course wrong. Aragorn pressing his legal (but immoral) right to rule because of his birth should not be praised, and should be seen for what it is: elites fighting to reclaim more power over the common folk.

None of those were turds and neither is the web as an application platform. Quite the opposite- Native apps suck compared to web apps.

Imagine having to use an app instead of popping open the web browser to order from Amazon? Yeesh

Yeah. We would have accepted that. We did explicity say several times "ask questions. we're here".

Our desired outcomes were (in order of preference:

1. Ask and figure out the task was easier than it might have seemed

2. Don't ask but make the right judgement call

3. Don't ask and overcomplicate things because you've assumed the worst.

(For example - the task could have been done with no UI and just a CLI interface. We never said it needed any user facing elements. We wanted to see if they jumped to conclusions. So far everyone has assumed it needed a web UI)

I think this interview process is not perfect, but it gives candidates like me, someone without a CS background, a pathway to enter the industry of software engineering and succeed in it. I learned programming mostly on my own, and by studying the for the interview, I learned so much about software engineering. In the end, that process of learning for the interview is very similar to the processing of learning on your day to day job and solve problems. Some of the answers to those problems might be quite obvious to a seasoned engineer or someone with a solid CS background, but I felt that being able to solve those problems puts me on par with those with more experience and CS background. I am currently at FANNG and doing as well as the other people on the team. If the interview process is all about the past experience, I would not stand a chance to get to where I am today.

General question to the community here. I have zero background in medicine or biology after high school. I barely understand the difference between virus and bacteria.

I read a lot of articles which dismiss anti-vaxxers as morons and anti-science, I have first hand seen the immense benefits a vaccine like polio vaccine has brought to India so I am all for more vaccines.

But what is the standard of evidence that X vaccine won't cause some harm to me ? Is is more formal proof but looking at the molecular structure of he virus, vaccines human biology and proving that only possible effect is on new anti-bodies and it won't bring any harm ? Or this is more about just ensuring vaccine meets FDA's guidance ?

I have lot more faith in science but next to no faith in FDA, CDC and other government bodies.

Google, at least, does the same style of interview for Senior and Staff positions as they do for entry level. It's just that the expectations are obviously different.
When I interviewed at goog a few years back one thing I noticed is the questions themselves are not hard. They are hard in the same vein as the questions in an old game show "Are you smarter than a 5th grader" were hard. Meaning that unless you came straight from college alot of the concepts you are not using in industry and have forgot. You won't use them at google but I suspect that it has a age bias built in as they favor younger workers.
