I don't like it much either. I think this article from the docs is a much better intro to what the thing is:

I’ve worked at SAP, Oracle, and a few large consultancies. Most of my customers are in the enterprise size range. Office is used heavily by the larger companies of the world and therefore is used by their software and service vendors.

The only company I’ve ever worked with that was totally google drive was an American startup.

Office is still very much the dominant suite of software across most companies although there are plenty of smaller American companies trying to work without it.

I personally can’t tolerate the the lack of basic formatting that docs offers are how limited sheets and slides are. Just adding section numbers in docs needs an add on and if your collaborators don’t have the same add on they just add new sections without numbering. I can’t imagine large documents without numbering...
Genuine question: are there real-world image recognition tasks that requires training on more than, say, 10 or even 100 classes? I'm personally aware of only one that might come close, and that's because it's an image-based species detection module, and it's whole purpose is actively trying to be able to recognize a large number of very specific subgroups. But most of the other I can think of get maybe a couple dozen, and sometimes even as few as 4 or 5 classes where they're useful, and the accuracy within those cases is much more important than the sheer number of possibilities themselves.

I guess I'm just asking if COCO or ImageNet-trained networks are actually noticeably superior for most real-world tasks, or if it's just a metric that's used because the performance differences only show up in the long tail of the distribution.
A better solution is just to use the word 'lambda', and let your text editor render it as a lambda symbol if you want (my emacs does this).

I highly recommend that if you can, you put your money to work for you. This is just a rare occurrence, but as an investor of 10 years so far, just by putting about $5k into the stock market each year, into a few good stocks, whether technology, food, or something else -- do your research, and let your money make its own money.

You'll also want to maximize your 401k at least to your employer's contribution, but if you can go up to 10% or more, you'll be doing your older self a huge favor.

And if they ever get cryogenics working, freeze yourself for a thousand years. This will probably happen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JwkaLt9pf8

Even though by that time... with inflation and all that, you'll still break even.
Yep, I've seen one or two reports of entire cities being tested. What testing method do they use, that is accurate enough to catch all cases in a very densly populated developing city (and within a week)? Unless Covid isn't as infectious as we have been lead to believe, that doesn't pass the sniff test for me.
Most researchers I know spend more time not doing research. Competing for project funding is extremely time consuming.

I personally left research mostly for this reason, I was asked to spend more and more time not doing actual research but finding funding and I suck at it and I don't like it.
That's an awful one! Especially if you use zoom or something else, there's no easy way to hide notifications and the system-wide setting doesn't hide them! My main gripe is file sharing. It's unclear to users how share point is integrated, and almost guaranteed to cause a mess of local files vs shared files throughout your org.

But my favorite: ever since Teams started opening a new window for meetings, it has this really awful behavior: when sharing a screen in a meeting, it minimizes your meeting window, and shows the main window, which is most likely a private message you may not want to share.
Looks really useful, I'm buying it already.
"Ninety Percent of Everything" is a great book about what it's like to work in container shipping.

That explains how the result is so beautiful. You did a really good job, and gave the results away. You have a lot to be proud of.
Predatory pricing is the issue here, not high cost of entry. Anti-competitive activities have specific definitions rooted in the study of industrial organization. You can't go around making judgment calls based on what seems intuitively good or bad to you.
Thanks for sharing your story. It's good to know how that can go. Not the best possible outcome, but not the worst either.

In regards to this:

>I would like to end the story with some action items like: “Next time, when I rent a place, I will do XXX.” Nothing reasonable comes to my mind.

Something you can do is carry anything with high value density, and hide other valuables out of sight. I tend to carry things I'm attached to with me, especially when in unfamiliar area. An AirBnB is not much different from a hotel room in terms of valuables safety. You don't know who may have access to the place. It's nice that AirBnB replaced your stuff.

Just want to let you know, while your site is loading, it shifts around several times, which gives it a bit of a janky feel. Looks nice otherwise, though.
If you’re worried about giving programmers too many options, R is already a nightmarish lost cause...
Same is true, at least in personal experience, for Zoom.

We pay for and use Zoom, as in not just the free account. But lately have started using MS Team a lot for smaller meetings. It integrates well with Outlook and works well.

Interestingly, we've never used Team as a Slack replacement.
Sadly this doesn’t work when the millionaire startup owner pulls funding and never pays the $90k they owe you.

Dumb article.
This is not true. US law only bans “current users” of drugs from possessing firearms. On top of this, the statute requires you to be “actively engaged” in the use to be counted which means the prosecutor has to piece together a paper trail of arrests, transactions, or testimony to prove this.

They kind of charge for Teams already, at least for some customers/users. In order to have a teleconference dial-in number, the user that created the conference has to have a license (I believe it’s somewhere around $10 p/mo). In my company, this is more or less a fundamental requirement if you interact in a customer facing role.

Word and Excel integration is one thing. In my opinion, the integration with Outlook is the bigger selling point. I want to schedule a teams meeting with a customer? Create a calendar invitation and click a button to make it a Teams meeting. Dial-in information is then automatically placed in the invitation. That same meeting (and the rest of mg Outlook calendar) is also now synced with my calendar in Teams, so now I receive alerts in Teams when someone starts the meeting, the meeting start time, etc.

Other services have integration with Outlook, but nothing like what Teams has, and to go against the grain a bit, that aspect of Teams’ UX is fantastic.

I think one thing many are missing is a lot of new Teams users aren’t using it for the Slack-like features (e.g., channels). Most of the people I’ve worked with on teams over the last 6 months use it solely for direct messaging, file sharing, direct phone calls to coworkers, internal meetings, teleconferencing, etc. for those purposes, Teams’ UX is more than adequate and I actually prefer it over Slack.

That is not to say it’s perfect though (dear Microsoft: please make changing input/output device settings more intuitive and well-behaved...).
"Agreed" is a bit unfair. Transferring schools is a huge ordeal and can mean losing scholarships, credits not transferring, and graduating late. Except for the freshmen who enrolled after those rules were already in place, the rest of the students agreed under duress.

Having recently tried to integrate the Walmart affiliate API from Impact.com I'm not surprised. These affiliate programs are a mess. Impact seems to be trying to make it cleaner but their own system is a mess.

Too bad as well, affiliate programs could be a much better way to monetize than advertising revenue.
I specifically want to work on git projects, including the project management aspects, without having to deal with running my own server. The p2p protocol is not over engineered, it's exactly what's needed. Git is p2p. Why shouldn't it have p2p pm tools?
In the enterprise world, the decision to adopt a technology is not done by the users but by the org leadership.

It doesn't matter if the UI is trash, or the product as a whole is trash. The only thing that matters is how well they can sell it to the leadership.
That's part of it. There are lots of workers who do care about their tools though.

There is just one little problem. They are often not the people who get to decide on where the company spends its money.

We are a Microsoft shop by and large. A lot of workers used slack, but management decided it had no compelling features compared to teams. We already got the licenses for teams, so slack was just costing us. So slack got ditched and now we all use teams.

Except we don't, not really. Not like we used slack. Somehow, teams feels like work and slack feels like community. A lot of people use teams chat like they do email: not for fun but to get things done. A lot of people used slack like how they would chat in person.

It's different, teams killed most of the joy of connecting with each other at the workplace through chat. Not for all I think, but in general I feel we lost a certain sense of community that slack brought to our company.
In over 10 years I’ve rarely received a google drive doc / sheet or presso. Can’t imagine relying on those school child level tools to be honest.

I’ve worked at SAP, Oracle, and a few large consultancies. Most of my customers are in the enterprise size range. Office is used heavily by the larger companies of the world and therefore is used by their software and service vendors.

I walked 3 miles a day, about 1,000 miles a year, before the pandemic. For me, two things are important for walking:

1. Environment - I need a quiet & safe path. You can find this in most cities with enough trial & error. Try different streets at different times. You will eventually find a way to walk wherever you want, whenever you want, without much traffic noise or street-crossing risk.

2. Equipment - Great shoes, better socks, water, and protection from wind, sun, cold, and rain. Here's what works for me:

- Darn Tough Hiker Boot Sock Full Cushion, https://darntough.com/collections/mens-hike-trek/products/bo... . You can get 6-packs on Amazon for $20/pair. My pairs last me about 750 miles, far longer than all the other socks I've tried.

- Columbia Men’s Newton Ridge Plus II Waterproof Hiking Boot - Wide, https://www.columbia.com/p/mens-newton-ridge-wide-1594732.ht... . This is a waterproof sneaker with ankle protection and grippy tread. The shoes are flat on the inside, great for walking not running. I've gone through six pairs. They last me about 750 miles each. I went most of my life wearing shoes that were too narrow. Walking suddenly became comfortable when I got wide enough shoes.

- Thermos Intak 24 bottle, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002VJX4C4 . I own 8 of these, grab a clean one each day, and wash them in the dishwasher. You can remove the ring seal with a fork. You can order replacement parts from Thermos customer service.

- Tortuga Outbreaker Daypack, https://www.tortugabackpacks.com/products/outbreaker-travel-... . The side mesh pockets are perfect.

- Tilley LTM6 Airflow hat, https://www.tilley.com/us_en/ltm6-airflo-hat.html . Super durable, floats, non-adsorbent, ventilated, lightweight. I've crammed this in my backpack nearly every day for 3 years and it still looks nice. Walking takes time, so you will get more UV exposure. Protect your skin to avoid looking old.

- Patagonia Torrentshell rain jacket. It's light weight. It blocks the wind and rain. It rolls up to a small package. Mine is wearing out after 3 years. It fits well in an Eagle Creek Pack-It Spectre "Sac" medium. Get a bright color to reduce evening street-crossing risk.

- Uniqlo merino sweaters. Soft, warm, light weight, don't pill, and last forever. I wash mine in a front-loading washer, on the delicate warm cycle, with standard detergent, and hang them up to dry. I own 4. The oldest has been worn about 100 times, washed about 10 times, and still looks great.

- Cheap synthetic beanie hat. This can warm you as much as a sweater. Buy a bunch so you always have a clean one, and have extras for friends.

Happy walking! :)
I am finishing up teaching an undergraduate-level course on programming language principles and paradigms.

Here is what I recommend:

1. Study Scheme for an introduction to programming in a Lisp-like language. I used Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs as one of my course textbooks (I also assigned my students separate textbooks for the Prolog and Smalltalk portions of the class). My favorite part of this book is its discussion of the metacircular interpreter (i.e., a Scheme interpreter written in Scheme), which is key to understanding how a Lisp works internally.

2. Read the Lisp 1.5 Programmer's Manual. While this Lisp has long been succeeded by more modern Lisps, it is a very nicely designed manual that discusses the implementation of Lisp. It also has a short metacircular interpreter on page 13 that profoundly inspired Alan Kay and many other luminaries of computer science.

3. Begin learning Common Lisp. Common Lisp is much more complex than Scheme is; Common Lisp is to Scheme as C++ is to C. I started getting serious about learning Common Lisp earlier this year, and I am currently working through the Advent of Code exercises in Common Lisp. My favorite intro book is Common Lisp: A Gentle Introduction to Symbolic Computing. I also own a copy of Common Lisp Recipes, which has been valuable for learning Common Lisp idioms; part of the challenge of learning a large language is figuring out what are the most idiomatically correct ways of doing things.

4. Read The Art of the Metaobject Protocol. I have a copy of the book, but I haven't gone through it yet. My goal is to work through this book to have a full understanding of the Common Lisp Object System.
San Mateo county isn’t following the rules..they are exempt from dining regulations. Woodside is an unincorporated town, iirc. The state parks and beaches in pescadaro and half moon bay etc is only for the residents. You are asked to turn back if you are not a resident. The cops run your plates. At least this was the case during the first lockdown. Not so much during the second one.

There are 54 counties in California. Only 41 counties have mandatory lockdown.
I can't believe #18, developers should be able to write code and the summary saying that he got some/many? candidates who couldn't. Its not that developers can't code, its that recruiters paid on commission will send any warm body to an interview.
The metaphor seems apt. FTA:

> On land, life tends to spring from the ploughed lines of a field, but in the deep sea the trenches are relatively barren. The creatures that relied on the nodules, now removed, cannot re-colonise. And others, which require soft sediment to burrow and find mobilised food, cannot live on the artificially compacted surfaces.

The nodules were harvested 30+ years ago on a small scale and local life still hasn't recovered. Given the time scale required for them to build up (millions of years) they are effectively non-renewable.

There's a tipping point at which the global ecosystem will be too screwed up to bounce back to a point where it can sustain us. We won't know where that point is until we're past it. I'd rather avoid going that far.
I can see how this would be jarring and upsetting, but I think it's ultimately the right thing for LinkedIn and its users.

I hate any feature that makes LinkedIn more social. It is a great resume hosting service, but a terrible social network. Since I have to use it for work, I'm hoping the culture on the site continues to be business-focused.

For shared interests, Twitter, reddit, and Facebook groups seem to work well. Have you had any luck with those?

"california and nevada made lsd illegal in 1966"

So still the late 60's, not "the end of 50s early 60s".

"It has nothing to with being anti war, lawmakers panicked when it became a recreational drug and didn't know what to do"

It was a recreational drug long before it was made illegal, and the illegality had nothing to do with it being a recreational drug, but rather had to do with panic over sensationalized media stories about LSD's involvement in things like the Manson murders, and Art Linkletter's daughter committing suicide.

LSD's role is Linkletter's daughter's suicide is highly questionable, as are all the urban legends at the time of people frying their eyes out by staring at the sun under the influence of LSD, or their chromosomes breaking because of LSD, etc. Yet sensational media coverage like this, along with a panic over "look what all these crazy kids are doing! They're having orgies and frying their brains on LSD!!!", combined with LSD's association with the anti-war movement and the counterculture (including Leary very publicly telling kids to "drop out", LSD being associated with "free love", etc), which shocked and outraged the very conservative powers that be is absolutely what led to it being banned.

LSD use was basically seen as a threat to established social order.

At this point I feel like that most AWS services are for marketing purposes. The type of people who would pay 30k a month for 12k msg/s are very few.

It's just there so you can awe developers at the breath of services AWS provides.
All valid motivations. Possible others:

4 - Keeping in practice / learning skills requires constant exercise. Programming problems represent one form of this. Where collaboration itself is a trainable / maintainable skill, public group effort is directly relevant.

5 - Where skill asssessment is difficult, public work product and process function as a shingle and credential.

6 - Collaboration builds and strengthens professional ties and bonds.

Not just letters! "^X" indicates "X, but with the control-bit flipped", where the control-bit is the left-most of ASCII's 7 bits.

1001000 ASCII 'H'
1000000 "ctrl bit"
0001000 ASCII backspace

But like I said, it's not just letters, if you use `cat -v` to show all non-printable characters in this notation, you'll also see things like "^@" for the 0x00 null byte and "^[" for the ESC. All of the terminal color-code control sequences start with ESC, so if you pipe colorized output to `cat -v`, you'll see a lot of "^[".
These aren't flaws but they are biases. They may be right 90% of the time but you should still be aware of them so you don't fall for them 100% of the time.

I've been on adderall since I was 17. I'm 32 now. Almost more of my life has been spent on it than off it.

I've been productive in a variety of ways. Some examples are listed on my patreon: https://www.patreon.com/shawwn but I feel silly bragging about comparatively minor accomplishments in ML.

But I know for a fact that without adderall, I wouldn't have done a damn thing. I've tried for a few months. Shrugged and went back.

Her flying to Nevada is completely understandable. CA pharmacies are some of the worst in terms of this medicine. I've experienced it firsthand.

Is it so hard to believe that I'd probably be a potsmoker working at a grocery store if I hadn't had adderall? Not that there's anything wrong with potsmoking nor working at a grocery store, but it's not ML.

I advise empathy. Try. And I wish I could put it more eloquently why it's worthwhile. Her missing work for a few ays is equal to a coworker getting sick for a few days. Your reaction is why so many keep their lives private.

I myself have gone from Missouri to IL to fill a script. A few hours' drive is nothing. Fun road trip.

Most recently, a person (who wasn't me) found themselves in CA unable to fill their script because their doctor wasn't licensed in CA. They literally just tell you "Sorry, can't do it." What are you supposed to do?

It's easy to say "Well, just deal with it." And we do. Let me cast a sleeping spell on you and see how well you do. You're getting verryyy sleeeppyy... you'll have a rough week.

Depends on how quickly you need that transaction to hit the blockchain.

Anything over 30 minutes is currently 1 sat/vByte and 1 sat = $0.00019230 dollars. The average bitcoin transaction is about 250 bytes. That's $0.048075 or almost 5 cents.
