Understand that was originally written for an ancient culture that is now mostly absent. Also understand that it was written in segments at different historic moments.

The first 5 books of the Old Testament are the epic myths and early Jewish laws of the religion. This was written in ancient Hebrew and the Greeks called it the Pentateuch. Also keep in mind this comes entirely from oral tradition and was written much later after the formation of Hebrew writing.

After that comes the Old Testament books about early Israeli religious history. It was during this time that the early Jewish people conquered the lands of Canaan and took writing from the conquered people. It was also during this time that they were conquered by the Chaldeans (Neo Babylonians) and introduced to Zoroastrianism. The early Jewish faith may have been monotheistic, or moving in that direction, before this, but exposure to an organized monotheistic faith really sealed the deal.

After that are the various books about morality/judgement followed by a lineage of lesser prophets.

The New Testament was largely written in Ancient Greek. The New Testament is the Christian portion following the faith of Jesus Christ. He had 12 apostles that followed him walking around and formulating the early Christian faith. The chief among them would travel to Rome to spread the faith, but the early faith as written comes from the gospel of a few apostles speaking with people and from the travels of Paul.

Paul was a guy that encountered the early faith and wanting nothing to do with it. When Jesus died Paul experienced a spiritual revelation and traveled across Greece telling people about it. More important is that these travels and conversations were written down. Paul’s travels would become the bulk of the New Testament.
Google suffers from a digital petro curse
I’m a natural optimist, and game theory gave me a better grounding in thinking through and internalizing why things ARE, not just what they can or should be.

One analogy is shifting from a blame culture — why did that one person do that thing? — to a blameless postmortem: what is it about this system of individual actions that leads to this outcome? How did we get here? What mechanisms and incentives would repeat it? What would change it?
For a while, whenever I felt tempted to goof off a little, I'd look at my phone. It if was an even number, I followed my desire, if [the last digit of the clock] was an odd number I carried on with what I was doing. Figured it would cut procrastination in half. I think it did.

Yes, absolutely. I did at 35. Find the aspects of the work you love the most and let them guide you. A bootcamp or similar educational experience should help you ask the right questions at the outset, and will be a significant boost to your self study.

Any mid-life career change carries risk, so I recommend speaking with your family and/or loved ones to make your intent clear. I also saved money for a while before joining a bootcamp to take pressure off of my wife during the training and to ease the job search after finishing.

Most important tip: talk to people. Ask software engineers about their work, lives, interests, practices. Whether you take some formal schooling or not, learning about how people work and why they make decisions will help you move forward more quickly. Without that context it's easy to get lost in a sea of details.

Pretty much this. Once the hype has reached the mainstream, the opportunity has peaked or already passed.
You don’t have to make any judgment about the parties involved in the story. If you want to critically think about both sides of the argument, you’re going to have to ask anyway whether there exist “good faith” motives for pointing out a new coworker’s skin color in corporate America, because if there’s an answer to that question, then doubting (not knowing) the intentions of the former Google employee would be justified.

So, when is pointing out a new coworker’s skin color actually okay?
> can in part be explained by the different conversational rules by which men and women play

Does the same kind of conversation happen in gay relationships as well? Because I think the 'men are like this and women like that' thing is kinda contrived and I bet that it has less to do with gender, but with some kind of power dynamic and the closeness of romantic relationships.

Edit: As a small experiment: Whenever you read some article about advice for men or women specifically, try to substitute it with a power relationship: the person with more power or the person with less power. I think this makes a lot more sense in many ways. Note though that power can change in an instant depending on the circumstances.

Something not mentioned but is a much bigger problem than performance for most is that if you write too many tests, you may be unable to easily upgrade/update to newer versions without a significant amount of work to update all of the tests.

You’re right to call out performance as a reason for testing. Unfortunately, though, it’s usually not that easy. A problem not found in testing may be the result of inexperience or lack of foresight in design, such as the assumption that another adapter service in front of that enterprise cloud service that only exists in production isn’t a bottleneck, or that your code that had 100% unit test coverage turned out to leave nasty half-updated data due to non-transactional services and was deadlock-prone with memory leaks.

Interesting. I've watched nuclear engineers struggle with higher-order programming concepts and biomedical informatists (MD + PhD CS) struggle with software engineering. And, damn, I saw some exceptionally-beautiful code from some security researcher grad students.. like 17 levels of nested blocks.

Yes to all and no to all too. The reality in the country is that all is forbidden and all comonplace at the same time. You will find laws saying women (or men) can or cannot do X but then you will also meet woman on the street doing X openly. The country is dominated by class and priviledge levels. The laws apply differently to different people. So the best question to ask is who will you be working for? Who is your employer/sponsor/protector going to be? What are thier chosen rules?

I have an irrational aversion to LLVM languages and I don't know why, because I have close to zero personal experience with them. But when I find out that some new language uses LLVM my interest in it drops.
What I meant with this is that Julia isn't intended as a bash replacement. You can write your code in Julia and circumvent the overhead of having to start up the interpreter every time. But if you try to execute it 100 times per second then of course the overhead will add up.

Of course Julia is general enough. Whether you end your for-loop with `end` or `}` doesn't make any difference in what you can use the language for.

That Matlab is not great at general programming has absolutely nothing to do with the syntax and everything to do with semantics. In Matlab pretty much everything is a matrix. That is not the case in Julia. Julia work with scalar values just as well as Python. Actually it does it much better.

Object-oriented programming has been on the way out from all major new languages for years now. Go, Rust, Kotlin, Clojure, Julia and many others have downplayed object-oriented programming significantly.

It usually takes around 5 years to become an employable programmer at 40 hours a week.

Most of the 20 somethings “starting from scratch”, either programmed at a young age or are so bad at it they can only contribute by working long hours.

Most 40 years aren’t going to spend 5 years in the darkness learning until they can make money.
I could see this happening for quite a lot of games, sure. But... I'm skeptical just because the experience for some games would be so, so much worse. Anything requiring fine input goes straight out of the window, such as a tactical FPS like CS:GO, or VALORANT. MOBAs, maybe, except when you get to a high level where it, once again, requires precise inputs. Hell, even CoD, FIFA require it when laying against other players. Fortnite gets quite difficult when you consider the prevalence of building in that game - lord knows I struggled with accuracy even on a good machine. I guess Destiny 2 has demonstrated some aspects working, but AFAIK, quite a bit of the game is PvE.

I can't think of an analogous comparison for this in other media, to try and make a comparison to. Either something groundbreaking needs to happen (and doesn't physics prevent this?) or if the transition truly happens, these types of games will require a fundamental change in how they work.

Another thing - if VR ever actually gets any traction, I can't imagine cloud streaming working here.
At the time they were “picking” candidates for the Tensorflow rewrite, Julia already had Flux with an early version of Zygote and was doing auto differentiation at the language level. This was literally the killer feature they wanted, and were prepared to re-wore how significant portions of the swift language and compiler functioned to get it.

Had they chosen the language based on actual suitability and not because one of them was Chris Lattners pet-project, they could have automatically been significantly further ahead in far less time and energy.
How to Avoid Making Bad Decisions
There's huge difference in significance though. Maxwell's equations have their distinctive name because he did discover a missing piece in a system (set) of equations that had been known before as separate phenomena and yet weren't used as a whole. The missing piece he discovered on paper, with a pure logical reasoning alone, that would bring consistency to the set of the equations, was later identified and confirmed as electromagnetic fields in reality.

I like the idea of Julia but had a poor time making it work (circa october-november 2020) on my Ubuntu laptop. It also refuses to work in environments like repl.it. I feel like it's quite imature still, and that I'll try to pick it up later when it's better.
Some can, some can't. We hired a mid 40s candidate right out of coding boot camp. He was obviously smart and a hard worker and got along with everyone very well. It took 2.5 years to convince the boss that he wasn't making progress, and to let him go. In all that time his coworkers, including me, spent many hours, days and weeks patiently helping him, training him, essentially doing most of his work. But it just never clicked with him and he never gained the ability to do more than the simplest debugging.

Another older coding camp grad, who happened to be an immigrant woman, was a natural engineer who learned our complex systems very rapidly, contributed a lot quickly, and soon moved on to higher paying opportunities.

You will hear lots of encouraging words here and hopefully they will be true for you. But beware of wasting years on this project if you find that after giving it a solid try, it still doesn't suit. It just isn't for everone.

The elephant in the room is the contradiction between laissez-faire, libertarian free market capitalism where everyone is free to enter into contracts or decline to do so, and de-facto monopolies where essential functions of society are taken over by monoliths.

"Consensual" collaborative actions by large market players have historically been heavily regulated. You're not typically allowed to telephone your biggest competitor and "politely request" that they double their prices, on the condition that you will do the same. That's because we recognize that there is simply a limited supply of competitors, and once a company gets big enough to throw its weight around it has a responsibility to be "fair".

I think comedian might be a more accurate way to describe him. "Actor" somewhat implies deception which I'm sure is not what is intended by the GP. Interestingly, in French comédien means "actor", while they have a different word for the newer English definition of comedian: humoriste. In any case, the point is who he is on screen is a character that he has developed. There's nothing at all wrong with that. In fact, such characters are usually celebrated!
I’m sure these 13.5 million people in the US, who now can’t afford food anymore, wouldn’t have been such enthusiastic lockdown supporters had they realized they would pay the price themselves.
They're really not selling their codebase or practices to me to be honest. If their system is built like that it might have enough performance to run a top x site on only a handful of bare metal servers, but the article also implies there's a lot of "here be dragons" code - don't touch this, you are not clever enough to test this, and since we don't have tests, you might break it by touching it.

Which is just bad practice on the one hand, and elitist on the other.

I for one am thankful I don't have to work with those constraints, and I can adopt a better mindset - make it work, make it pretty, make it fast, for example. I think you cannot optimize a system if you cannot read and understand it.

Also note I explicitly said "system", not "codebase"; at a big enough scale, you can't look at performance as a factor of code, but of architecture and patterns. You need to be able to get figures from specific systems in the whole architecture, not individual lines of code. Make the architecture easy to analyze and optimize.
I really don't understand why someone would think Rust is "pretty darn similar to C++". I think about my code and data in Rust very differently to C++. C++ doesn't have tagged unions, Rust does. C++ does have inheritance, Rust doesn't. C++ templates are quite unlike Rust generics. Rust enforces safety and (mutable XOR shared), C++ doesn't. All of these lead to quite different design decisions for same-shaped problems.

I have an even better way to reduce waste: Let's raise food prices so that no one can afford to eat! No consumption, no waste.
Ah, I understand what you mean now. And you may be right that there’s a Better Way to do it natively in Julia. But, there’s lots of friction to adopting entirely new dev practices, and I’m inclined to just stick w what tried and true methods I’m already familiar with—old habits die hard! And that’s a big friction against Julia adoption (IMO).
Yes, and the most accepted theory nowadays is that gold-tied money was a leading cause of the ~10y cycle we saw at the 18th century.

As soon as countries adopted fiat money, that one cycle mostly disappeared and even its timing became much more variable. But there are a lot of confounding factors, so this isn't the smoking gun it appears at first.
Homelander jerking off in the Boys isn't what the author is talking about. He's talking about sensuality or eroticism, not public masturbation for shock value, which is what the Boys is all about (and it also applies to the violence in the show).

I haven't seen the Orville but from the way you describe it it fits exactly into the authors description. Modern sexuality as a pathology and disease that gets in the way of 'healthy living'.

Actual eroticism is almost completely absent from modern fiction.

The only reason the contract can exist is copyright. There are others arguing on this thread that if a rights holder restricts the distribution of their work they should effectively forfeit all control over their work. They have justified their position by saying restricting distribution fails to promote the creation of art. I’ve argued the opposite case and brought examples, and it all comes down to the phrase “exclusive rights” in the Copyright Clause of the US Constitution.
there have been Julia bindings to Tensorflow for a long time, and you can just use the Python ones in Julia with PyCall anyways. People haven't been doing that.
This comment is just wrong. It's still integration even if you only have enough data to approximate the integral. Also, Wikipedia's definition of the trapezoidal rule permits intervals with different sizes.[1]

I don't know why you'd defend a researcher who lacked basic math knowledge, and more damningly refused to acknowledge her mistake once it was brought to light.

Forgive me, 'unusable'. Hardly training wheels in any case.
I’m truly flattered by the moniker of wonderchild :D, though I’m afraid to say I don’t really have any idea how I got here myself. My life has played itself out in the strangest and most wonderful ways, though not without some... not so great things along the way. In some sense I feel my life is analogous to that Daoist Chinese parable “塞翁失馬，焉知非福” [0]. Good creates bad, bad creates good, and so on.

I failed classes because I was busy building an app people said was worthless, and had to transfer schools because of it.
That app then won me 2nd place in the national science fair and an asteroid named after me and some $15,000 in prizes.
Then, after I won that science fair and experienced great success with it, I came home and fell into a terrible bought of major depression and anxiety. Being depressed and holed up in my room I did nothing but study cryptography and blockchains and buy cryptocurrencies. I flunked more classes, but I tested out of high school a few days after I turned 16. Then I went to work at a battery cooling startup making parts for the Mars Rover, which I promptly got fired from. But by then I had Bitcoin money and I went traveling with it. I bounced for a year around Europe, where I first had the idea for Assembl (which was just acquired). Somehow I ended up at the door of a Swiss VC and pitched them on the idea, and so the story continues.

I could go on. These oscillations have been pretty constant throughout my life. As I’ve begun to understand the pattern, I’ve found better ways of surfing these waves.

I don't think this rule applies here, because the paper introducing "Tai's rule" calls it "Tai's rule" rather than others citing it. As if Higgs called it Higgs' boson in his paper.
I so often worry about this lack of knowledge in the medical field. This is not reassuring u_u;
What do you mean "somewhere down the line"? This is already well-known, but what is also known is that vertical scaling, e.g. how much one machine can do, is limited.

When you get to a global, millions-of-requests-per-second system like e.g. Twitter, you've gone well beyond vertical scaling.

Know your problem, then pick a solution. I'll admit that the microservices architecture is overused and I'm sure that's what you're aiming at, and I fully agree with that. But I also feel like you cannot understand the scale of true 'web scale' companies and their application. I know I can't.
