Data Science is the intersection of programming and statistics. I think the defining characteristic of being a data scientist is being able to insert a statistical tool inside a software system. Putting data science models into production is actually a very small part of my job, but I think that is what makes me a data scientist. Most of my time is spent cleaning data, trying to understand data, and making presentations to win support from business stakeholders. These tasks are also done by data analysts, but an analyst wouldn't code up a web service to receive data and return predictions.

The main software tool that a data scientist uses is either Python or R. They may use Excel, but I would never hire a data scientist that wasn't able to program in one of these languages (or maybe something similar).

Assuming you don’t have an early fail drive, it has one usable stat, “Power On Hours”. When that begins to creep towards 40,000 you will have a failed drive sooner than later.

As for the rest of the counter, raw read error rate, relocated sector count and friends are also good indications that your drive might not be in the best shape. They don’t say anything about when it will fail though. I’ve had a drive rack up 20 relocated sectors in a couple of weeks, only to stay at 20 for 4 years after that.

And load cycle count is only good for telling if you’re within manufacturer parameters. I frequently see old drives with Load Cycle Count 10-25 times the rated value, and they work just “fine”.

That's not my point - dependency resolution is a build time requirement, not an install-time one. Requiring the user's machine to resolve dependencies to install your software is fragile, bug prone, and harms the user experience.

Like it or not, users don't care if your software has interchangeable parts. They care if it runs on their system. The only sane way to guarantee a piece of software runs outside your developer machine is to include its dependencies during distribution and packaging (not refer to them - which is what package managers require). The less sane way is to use containers, but those are required when developers don't package their software sanely.

This doesn't preclude users from installing software or replacing interchangeable components should developers support it. What it prevents is disgusting bugs and workarounds because dev A built on distro B while user C wants to use it on distro D but the packages have to be separately for everyone because the distro package managers don't agree with each other on what things are named or how they should be built.
> This new crate is a generator. If this new generator requires access to the .winmd files or .h files from the SDK or whatever, where is the non-Windows builder going to get those from? And will this generator look for them there?

From memory (I haven't done Windows development in forever): there's a few projects that try to provide an open source version of the Windows API headers. The MingW project, for example, has a full set of drop-in replacement headers (meaning you can take code that compiled with Visual C++ and compile it directly with MingW's GCC and it should 'just work'). The LCC-Win64 project has a similar set of headers.

Does that answer your question?
I would say make sure they are different kinds of work.

I sort of enjoyed my second job working at Lowe's. Standing and helping people get the products they needed for their project was a nice change from sitting at a desk and staring at a screen all day. Pretty soon the $10/hr and 60hr (combined) weeks make it so it's not worth it.

Now I'm a beekeeper in my spare time. I sell honey and candles. I also sell other craft items. That's not really worth it either, but it could be good for a retirement job.

> Patrons can sit and enjoy a very small section of the museum instead of rushing through, since they can simply come back for more later

They can do this now. But if museum sells collection the can't "simply come back for more later" cause it will be gone forever into private hands.

> More people get to see fine art

until it's all been sold.

> Second- and third-tier museums start to gain access to better art, since they can simply buy it instead of waiting for estate donations (which go to larger museums)

There is no way 2nd and 3rd teir museums are going to be able to compete with private buyers on price. Also where will they get money to buy this if they have to sell art to raise money.

This sounds like typical "privatize everything cause free markets!" privileged people spew because they'll benefit more than when they have to share public services with the "dirty" masses.
> So 0.210603 / 285,418 = 0.000000737874765 which is 737.874765 kWh per transaction. Assuming a price of $0.10 and an average 475g CO2 emitted per kWh, the real cost of a single transaction is $73 and 350kg of CO2. But I suppose that's a price worth paying...

From the same site, mean transaction value is 2.67 BTC ($86,672 USD), so about .1% transaction fee. https://www.blockchain.com/charts/cost-per-transaction-perce... computes it at closer to 1%. My guess for the difference is comparing total volume vs. approximate real value transfer (subtracting the change going back to the same address).

Comparable to the cost of the card networks but an order of magnitude more expensive than ACH transfers and maybe double the cost of wire transfers.

EDIT: I'm assuming that the profit margin is scarce on average so most miner fees go directly to hardware+electricity. Given the volatile price in USD I don't know a better assumption to make.
Pay yourself first - commit the bulk of your energy/mental capacity to problem solving & learning for your side project first thing in the morning. Cut out all distractions during that period.
It should be that if:

* All your work is for one firm

* You use their tools and/or premises to do the work

* You have no realistic opportunity to work some where else - either a restriction in your contract or due to the hours that you work

Then no matter what it says on your contract you are a employee.

That used to be the law in Aotearoa for everybody. But when Peter Jackson turned rouge they changed the law, personally for him and Warner Brothers, to take those rights from people working on films. And computer games.

Treating people as interchangeable parts, like machines, is simply evil.
That’s not core’s argument. Core’s argument is that the more centralized mining and validation becomes, the easier it can be shut down by govt decree, or to regulate away privacy protections.

Keeping it spread out across millions of individual home computers, laptops, and mobile devices is the strongest, and perhaps only defense of that.

If you want to argue, at least argue the real issue, not some strawman.

> For instance, software engineers tend to be well paid even without needing to unionize.

Compensation for the majority of software engineers has not kept up with cost of living increases, inflation nor the amount of revenue they generate for their employers.

Adobe, Apple, Google, Intel, Intuit, Pixar, Lucasfilm and eBay all colluded with one another[1] to keep tech worker compensation below their market rates.

> So if you don't feel that you need a union, but you're forced to be in a union (and pay dues) against your will -- as happens in many industries

No one is forced to work a union job. If your employer makes a decision that you don't like, you aren't forced to work for them, either. If a union makes a decision you don't like, you aren't forced to work for it.

Yes, my plan is to do it in Rust.

I did start it in luajit first, because I thought that it will be a faster feedback loop. I created an OpenGL window, and set up nodemon to restart the luajit app on changes. It is quite fast, but still not as smooth as I imagined it. Doing it Rust from the start, with a TDD approach, might have been a better idea. Things got quite messy quite quickly because of the luajit OpenGL bindings.

The goal is to do difference, addition, intersection first between basic 3d volumes: sphere, cuboids, cylinders. And then yes, some extruded splines. I was thinking about starting with beziers, as this is the only spline I've implement before.

I haven't built a cad before, so I went with a data oriented approach, defined the data needed to represent each of the basic volumes, and 2d shapes, as well as the relationships(diff, union, intersection). Something like a normalized SQL database. A table (array), for positions, rotations, bounding boxes and so on. I'm yet to see how well this scales up to more complex models.

It is very much in the beginning. I've started from first principles, not looking up existing approaches and see what I can come up with. That's the reason it probably won't become something serious, but it's still fun to explore.

Thank you for offering help, might have a closer look at SolveSpace if I get to something serious that I cannot come up with a solution on my own.
I tinker on my gentoo box and OpenRC is more than capable of everything it needs to do. I don't understand why people's linux fill up with "trial and error custom shell scripts".

The Hunter Biden laptop story has been confirmed by witnesses and the cryptographic signatures on the email, while not a single shred of evidence that it's a "plant" has been found. This should give the NYPost a huge boost in credibility over the media outlets that falsely claim that it was a plant. This would (sadly) make the NYPost one of the more reputable media outlets that we have.

Yet the xcb bindings in that crate are mostly safe: https://rtbo.github.io/rust-xcb/xcb/xproto/fn.create_window....

This is a disasterous move.

Ringing up elderly chipmakers to help shore up a company that's been run into the ground by marketing and management only confirms the same disastrous management practices are still at play

As a leader trying to resuscitate a brand, eschewing new talent for old is just going to get you handfuls of engineers familiar with corporate ladder climbing and various no wake zones that might challenge the status quo. It also sends a clear message to newly minted PhD and graduates: Intel is closed for new ideas.
> 10 unionized employees out of thousands isn't enough critical mass to count as a union for the things that matter. The power is in numbers.

That may be so, but laying off those 10 could be a strategy to kill the union in the crib by keeping the number from ever getting to the thousands. Employees faced with future unionization votes may vote against the union because they're afraid management will find a way to lay them all off if they vote for it, before they're strong enough to resist.

You dont connect thermocouples to "temperature sensors", you connect them to ADCs after appropriate amplification.

MAX6675 has build in opamp, adc and full microprocessor under the hood doing signal conditioning, digitization, linearization, translation, and cold joint temperature compensation. TLDR: No, you wont be able to connect thermocouple directly to the Pico. You will have to design/copy frontend for it.

I have similar misgivings about this policy. One possibly reasoning that I've seen, and that isn't entirely implausible, is that there is still significant transmission going on in private gatherings, which tend to happen in the evenings. These curfews would then be attempts to curb such behaviour.
MS has always been solid with developer tools, documentation, and dev relations.

Even though I prefer administering Linux servers any day over Windows servers, I find myself often missing PowerShell when I use bash. It has some quirks but some of the design decisions are exactly what you'd hope someone would make if they redesigned a command-line shell 40 years later.

I still find it comical that we proudly paste around commands that just wrangle text no differently from what perl programmers did in the 90s, using sed, print, cut, etc, when things like PowerShell moved to piping objects between commands. It just removes a whole class of ambiguity.
Basic Scripting with Awk and Gnuplot
I agree (hence my original statement: "With such a small percentage of the workforce unionized, it's highly unlikely those employees enjoyed any additional bargaining power or job security that could result from having a significant fraction of the workforce unionized. With such a small fraction I don't think you can draw conclusions in either direction.")

However I then, uh, went on to draw a conclusion anyway in contradiction of my own statement saying we shouldn't draw conclusions because of the sample size. Methinks it's time for more coffee :).

This is what I think is the most practical approach. Pinning down ALL your dependencies to the exact version is much harder than it sounds. What you’re describing sound like the way Jib [1] does it. The pictures in this [2] blog post help visualize it.

The reason I like the approach you describe is because it keeps things simpler at the start of a project and consistent across most projects.

I also think it makes sense to have those support containers build on a schedule. For example, you build your build/CI container weekly and that’s the CI container for the week. On demand project builds use that CI container which has all dependencies, etc. baked in.

It would be nice if CI systems would let me explicitly tag builds as (non)reproducible.

Sure - I'd just like to make sure. So much early content has been deleted from history for no reason at all, really. If there's been a serious effort to save at least the early content from the 1990s I'd be super happy. If everything minus problematic content has been saved, I'd be even happier.

The paper that relies on turns out to have some inaccurate assumptions. The paper assumes that miners can flip their hardware on/off at essentially instantaneous intervals. The assume this to argue that miners will strategically turn their hardware off when the expected value of mining a block drops below the cost of power.

It turns out that many of the big miners have long term contracts with power companies to consumer power; they wouldn't save money by turning their hardware off for short periods of time. Power companies like this arrangement because it lets them predict demand better, and miners like it because they get "bulk rates" on electricity for being predictable in their consumption. The arrangement falls apart when miners turn their hardware on and off.
That's what I do as well and can recommend it.

Because C/C++ is designed without safety. So, Rust can't "believe" the external world is safe because the external world is made unsafe.
> Intel engineers are paid supposedly similar rates at similar levels and similar locations.

Again with this location based compensation trend. Maybe it works for flipping burgers but it seriously break down when you are a global player hiring from a pool of global talent.

You can play CoL games and count beans as much as you want, but the engineering talent Intel is after are also pursued by companies like Apple that are wat above market rate.
I disagree - non-software companies feel entitled to price employees based in relation to their peers rather than in relation to the value they add to the business (and possibly misuse their tech labour because they never hired an architect that could actually steer it to be as valuable as it could be) but Jack the EE might be a perfectly servicable developer. There's a lot of theory we learn in school that Jack would need to pick up himself but don't assume you're imbued with a special skill that sets you apart from the rest of the employees.

The company should definitely be paying more out of their pocket to employ good tech talent, but I'm not so certain whether it's good for society for all that created value to be given to the developer who happened to create it. I think there is a big value gap in how much developers can produce with relatively little labour compared to, say, a car mechanic - but I think that it might be best for everyone if a really big proportion of that value gap was sliced up and distributed more evenly across society in the form of social programs to benefit us all.
