You're talking about IT consulting, while parent is talking about strategy/management consulting. Very different types with very different outcomes altogether.
Don't go there. E.g. Olive oil is considered an animal product for Lent purposes because it used to be carried in flasks made from animal hide. And whether to use almond milk ot not depends on permission from your priest, if they think you are simply mimicking the forbidden stuff it "imitates", and thus still worth avoiding.

This has little to do with the stop confusing the names of things argument.

I concede that almond milk was a bad example, but if anything that strengthens the point.

Most of the "consultants" I have seen (BCG, Mk) are not "consultants" in any way, solving problems the company has no answers to, but are plain body leasing. We need 500 people next Monday, who you gonna call? (at least for those situations where 50+ consultants are hired).

Real consultants help with something like M&A, or moving into a different business, a procedure the company has no expertise in or needs to have because it's one off.

Management consulting steel executives on the future of the steel market on the other hand, doesn't speak well for the steel executives.

And everyone who hires management consultants hopes to be let into secrets from their competitors, because everyone thinks the competitor (I've seen this as a startup "consultant") knows more about the market and the future than they do. Most often this is not the case.

I don't know any Old English but whenever I hear the first one (I'm a bit of a bardcore fan) I wonder if "hé is cumende for thé" is accurate or a bit of artistic license. I would have expected a sentence structure more like Early Modern English "he cometh" rather than Modern English "he is coming" (c.f. German which has "kommt" but definitely doesn't have "ist kommend"[1]). Did the copula + present participle form of the present tense already exist in OE?

[1] incidentally, one does sometimes hear things like "er ist am kommen" (lit. "he is at coming"). Is this a new development, and is it a borrowing from English?

For me it's not so important that the keys are mechanical, but that it is split. It is so much more pleasant to type with my hands straight out in front of me than cramped together in the centre. The fact that most split keyboards are mechanical is just a, slightly pleasant, side effect.

You can push things into the type system only so far before you drop off a cost/benefit ratio cliff, unfortunately. Fundamentally, even in FP languages that expose side effects in the type system, you can still easily make APIs with undocumented semantics and in which users will break as the underlying component evolves. In fact Haskell is quite notorious for an ecosystem that seems to believe Haskell's type system obviates the need for good documentation, an illusion the Java world fortunately never labored under.

I think in recent years there's been an uptick in clever sounding attacks on common PL features like inheritance and exceptions, many of which look suspiciously like motivated reasoning. At the very least the arguments are extremely weak. This article ends by saying:

"Personally, for code reuse and extensibility, I prefer composition and modules."

But these are orthogonal. Languages like Kotlin have built-in support for inheritance, modules and composition. It's not an either/or approach, and there are lots of high quality, highly successful codebases that use inheritance extensively which would be pretty unimaginable without it. I use libraries that use inheritance every day and it's very rarely a problem: only in cases where someone made a bad API with it, and you can get bad APIs that rely on composition or badly modularised APIs too. I don't feel like one problem is more common than another.
Touch type was really life changing for me. Also switching from French Azerty to Qwerty. It's not about WPM but about staying in the flow, I feel directly interfaced with the machine. It's a pity to watch colleagues still stoping, looking at their hands and doing weird combinations to type very common characters like (), {} or [] hundred of times a day.
I wouldn't recommend master to anyone but the experts in julia. 1.6 is pretty stable though. Do remember that in Julia second execution of an instruction is much faster than the first. Thus, it may take some time to initialize, but after that it will run smoothly.

But yes, my tolerance towards this is higher as I am used to matlab.
I am a physicist by training. I have neither an applied math/stats nor a ML/comp sci background, but I am increasingly using these methods. So I am far from an expert, but I also am not coming at this from some start-up perspective. ML-the-buzzword is now penetrating into all parts of STEM research and research funding. Some of the potential applications are exciting, too.

My conceptualization of the field is simply that ML is the design of universal function approximators to be used as part of statistical modeling/analysis. The key insight seems to be that a complex set of adapted network architectures, together with stochastic gradient descent are unreasonably effective. Further the effectiveness is a very non-linear function of size. As far as I can tell there is not much known about why this is the case. But as far as I can tell there really isn't anything done with these models that isn't statistical inference.

Well, in the enthusiast circles they are unpopular.

Compared to alternatives, Cherry has barely innovated in the past 20 years. Their switches are scratchy. Browns are barely tactile if you compare them to the competition, often jokingly called "linear with sand in it". The blue has much better alternatives using clickbars instead of clickjackets and clickies are much less popular in the enthusiast space, because they care about good sounding thocks. The lesser known colors are all extremely heavy. MX Clears (as parts, for making frankenswitches) and heavily lubed Blacks (particularly with housings produced before the 2000s, aka "Vintage Blacks") have a small following,

Oh, the irony. After you scold me on the need to assume "the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says", you immediately proceed to interpret my comment as "literally begging for leeway". I guess my comment was not deserving of "strongest plausible interpretation", or even interpreting it at face value? No, you'll go as far as psychoanalyzing my subconscious where I "know I lost". Wow.

Key points from the article:

* will be based on the TSMC 7nm process node and will feature a monolithic design composed of the CPU, GPU, and I/O IPs

* includes the Zen 2 CPU and RDNA 2 GPU architectures

* Van Gogh APUs will feature a total TDP of around 7.5-15W

* designed for the FF3 socket which is a compact low power socket to compete against Tiger Lake-U

> I always felt like there was some super deep & fundamental link between these mathematical concepts and relational modeling ideas.

The relational model is relies on set theory (more specifically relational algebra). An alternative view on data and data modeling is based on 1) sets, and 2) functions, and is called the concept-oriented model [1, 2]. It is actually quite similar to category theory and maybe even could be described in terms of category theory. It is also quite useful for data processing and there is one possible implementation which is an alternative to map-reduce and join-groupby approaches [3].

Homer and Greek mythology was certainly not obscure at the time! The influence was pervasive in Western art and literature throughout history. In the middle ages it was mostly known through Latin sources, but deeply influential nonetheless. From the renaissance and forward, Homer was generally recognized as the most important poet in history. Parry performed research into how Homer (understood as a tradition rather than a single person) composed his epic.

I fail to see the connection to Peterson, who I admittedly only know of as a self-help guru.

C++ has hardly replaced C in some domains after 40 years trying, and it is mostly compatible with C at source level, build exactly to fit into existing C toolchains.

Some of those companies, like Google, Microsoft and NVidia, are heavily invested into C++, ISO C++ and selling C++ based products.

True. However those insights can’t be reached from learning about them through a verbal description on the meta level like they are in this article. If I tell you it is good to be happy does that realization make you happy? No. To make you happy I must “manipulate” you (or to use terminology from the article your elephant) into being happy. Just telling you “be happy” does not work.

It is a shame to lose a gold medal this way. Sometimes, however, there is nothing you can do.
I came here exactly to say similar thing after reading for 5 mins and things got repetitive. Then i read the "about" section and found the author is from financial sector. I don't think i am going to get much value reading further.

EDIT: Reasoning below. A commenter asked the mental model.

Novel Insights are found when deepwork is performed over analyzing huge's volumes of data from multiple sources and thinking about the interconnections. I doubt any one in financial sector or the business types ever perform deepwork at all. There is really no new ideas or key insights that's worthy of deepwork. I think the success is mostly luck and unique to the situation which is beyond human control. When a financial person says they have 3 decades of experience, its the same thing repeated over and over again with no progress build over the previous work simply because that is not possible. For these reasons i think its not worth the time.
It doesn't really -- I don't think any business say "well, I'm paying for surgeons rather than pediatricians, which have more men, so I'll pay more." This would ignore obstetricians (more women) getting paid more than internal medicine (mostly men). Jobs tend to pay what the market works out is the lowest amount people will take the role for. This is the basic principle of supply and demand.

Men tend to go to the jobs that pay more, the jobs don't pay more because men go to them. Not seeing this seems to be a massive willful ignoring of economics.

Men tend to work longer hours. They negotiate more at hiring, as they are willing to take the chance that the request for more money fails and apply somewhere else.
Yeah, BCG have a history of that with our Government here in Australia too, as well as all the other big consulting groups.

We had a Government body rolling out a National FTTH network (called the NBN), and the opposition party didn’t like it (they have strong links to the media industry, Mr. Murdoch in particular, who owned most of the cable TV infrastructure here). The experts all said their policy was a terrible idea - switching to upgrading the degrading copper phone lines and buying the under-maintained HFC assets and upgrading those where they existed. When that party won Government in 2013, they got BCG to write a report saying their policy was great and would save us $20 billion. Well, we’re now more than $20 billion over what FTTH was going to cost based on the actual rollout costs, and it’s regarded as a huge mess and a big waste of money.

More recently, the same party got BCG to write a report saying they should do what they’ve been wanting to do in selling off the profitable parcel delivery from our national post office. Problem is, that parcel service very effectively subsidises the delivery of essential services to regional communities through post offices, which will have to close or be massively Government subsidised if they sell it. The party in Government have a habit of these kind of privatisations of important services, where we always find in hindsight that we’ve sold it for far less than it’s worth, and it always just happens to be somebody politically connected to the party too...

Using consulting groups like BCG who write reports with exactly what the Government wants in them is basically used in some of these cases as part of a kind of corruption racket.

In fairness, it is the additional private health insurance on top of the French government’s public care. It’s not the most expensive option but we rarely pay out of pocket for anything medical (the odd non-compulsory baby vaccine, for example, might sting us 80 euros or so). Of course, a part of my business and personal tax goes to support the public side of the healthcare, but nothing like $2400 per month.

High Sierra was meh for me. They rewrote the window server to use Metal, but the Nvidia GPU driver was so terrible at it that it sometimes crashed and it was always sluggish. You literally got a performance boost when you switched to the integrated GPU. They fixed most of the issues with Nvidia in Mojave tho. It still leaks memory but at least it's usable.

And I agree that you skipped Mavericks (10.9), it was one of the best releases. I used it for like 3 years but had to update to whatever was current at the end of 2016 because I got a new job and needed the latest Xcode for it.
> um, I was the commenter, and I clearly just picked racism as an example of the sort of viewpoint that you would be glad to see less of to show that viewpoint diversity is not necessarily good depending on the viewpoint. You are really misreading it to make some weird point that no one is buying.

Ok. Let's see if I understood your point correctly this time: you are saying that sometimes viewpoint diversity is good, and sometimes viewpoint diversity is bad. For example, viewpoint diversity is bad in the subject of racism, but viewpoint diversity might be good in some other subject. Overall, you expressed a sentiment that you are not worried about "decreasing viewpoint diversity". Would you agree with this characterization?
You mean you can actually code then? Do you know what language the engine is in? Is modifying it difficult?
