New continent:

- Full time commitment seems critical to the process. A Ph.D is a time of intellectual exploration, and you can't really do that fighting work and family deadlines.

- On the other hand, time can be squished for older people by virtue of industry experience making them more efficient

- I'd be hesitant about remote, since so much of a Ph.D is learning from others. Hallway conversations are critical. That's possible remotely, but not common.

- Fully agreed about "side activities." Teaching is fine -- you learn A LOT from it -- but a lot of Ph.D programs give stupid administrative grunt work. The metaphorical cleaning of test tubes on a professor's project is a serious red flag.

No such thing as too old, but having a mortgage and family myself now, I definitely get much out of a Ph.D program right now.

I'll mention too: If I didn't have a Ph.D, I'm mature and disciplined enough now that I could learn the same without a formal program.

I am skeptical of new world "accelerated" programs, which often have little substance, and are designed to milk working professionals. It's like getting the piece of paper in Wizard of Oz.

I guess it's relative. When I was in San Diego and LA it was terrible. Among other things, drivers are the leading killers of children and young adults in the US, and they disproportionately kill people walking and cycling.
> I would be very suspicious that they will burden me with all kind of side activities (e.g. tutoring undergraduate students, handling bureaucracy, paper work, etc.) that are not really of any actual help towards the thesis.

So, every PhD position? I have looked at dozens and almost none don't require teaching, paper work, bureaucracy, organisational work, etc. done. I was even warned by one person that this weekend will be the first free weekend in months. Because of teaching, etc. I don't know how meaningful work can be done like this.
Oh, you guys have some interesting issues/bounties! And wish I knew more about inference (besides basics on inference engines with Jena).

As far as my understanding goes (which may not be very far at all), the common base seems to be Chromium. When I want to debug an HTML source (like the one in the article), VSCodium offers me Chrome or Edge as the base browser (none of which I have installed). I wonder why Brave isn't in there, since it's also Chromium-based.

OOP is a design pattern itself and is not bound to a specific language. Language that have OO features make things much easier but you can do OO in any language you want.
Over the years OOP has become the standard and best practice, and is used everywhere. For instance my day job is pure C and do OO design.

In Go, interfaces are an OO feature that allows polymorphism.

Design patterns in general are classic ways to solve common design problems and they can also be applied in many languages.
Still working on my side project, a virtual tabletop: https://bonfiretabletop.com, got a few hundred users, learned a ton of things about back-end, startups, and myself. But to be honest I'd not say no to a new full-time job.
Also it should be noted that with my $850 estimate that is $400 worth of Odrives. For years I have longed for good brushless drives for under $100 per channel and there are some newer ones out there. But basically brushless drivers are a major chunk of the price which I think could be reduced with cheaper custom drivers.
That's the first I've heard of that. Is that true?
Correct, you would point it at an MTA of your choice such as postfix. [1]

Yes, but that doesn't exclude the possibility that Tesla had plans to open up the charging network at some point anyway.
How much would you pay for a program that would help you do 2 way more effectively than just by querying it?
For many of my acquaintances, starting a family was a jump in the deep end and sink or swim.

As for end results for child and parents, I am really unsure whether slow-and-planned beats random-pregnancy-and-shotgun-fatherhood. Both succeed and both fail.
You probably have more experience than me on this. I play with coroutines on my free time, but at $WORK is all state machines or explicit continuations (I want to avoid the hammer/nail problem).

Having said that, I think that full coroutines can be no worse than stackless coroutines for stack usage. There are multiple options, including segmented stacks (which do have performance and ABI implications of course).

My preferred solution would be to have first class continuations and have the compiler convert them to stackless coroutines if the calling continuation never escapes the top level frame. In fact even yielding from inlined, non recursive functions would still allow the conversion to be performed while giving better ergonomics than the current implementation. The trick here is how to extend the language in such a way that this can be a guaranteed optimization instead of QoI. If this can be made to work, I think the same exact optimization could remove the frame allocation for stackless coroutines. Unfortunately I suspect this might require adding the equivalent of rust lifetimes to C++.

You can still avoid overflows even on a pure library implementation without compiler helps by switching to the main thread continuation (and its stack) for any stack consuming operation (or any operation that is known not to context switch). This can be extremely cheap, just an additional register swap over the normal function calling convention.

YMMV.

That's how most of the internet operated in the 2000's, before SRE & DevOps really took traction (practices were already there somehow, but not pushed to that extent for web sites/apps).

And we were not so much worse than today (I'd say even better, but that may be loosely coupled to 100% reliability - although FOMO also has a taste of it).
Market psychology is hard to predict. Going from one coin to another in a state of crisis is like people dumping their X stocks to buy Y stocks, because X is crashing. Or selling their housing real-estate portfolio to buy some other class of real-estate.

Casual "investors" sell their portfolios for hard cash when markets start crashing, which in turn induces others to sell. And if you're sufficiently leveraged, you're forced to sell - no mater how much belief you have in your investments.
Not a FAANG company, but lots of others. 1 or two weeks pay, then employment insurance if you have it.

The only thing that's battle tested is resistance of the hype to catastrophic failures.

In 2021, losing tens of millions in crypto assets because of a bug or a hack is considered normal an bothers no-one: in the last 3 months only, a billion dollar was lost or stolen (Poly network, Compound, Cream finance and smaller others), but “this is fine”.
"Towards the end of my visit at NASA, I went to the Wallops Flights Facility at Wallops Island in East coast, Virginia. This place was the base for NASA's sounding rocket programme. Here I saw a painting prominently displayed in the reception lobby. It depicted a battle scene with a few rockets flying in the background. A painting with this theme should be the most common place thing at a flight facility, but the painting caught my eye, because the soldiers on the side launching the rockets were not white but were dark skinned, with racial features found in South Asia. It turned out to be Tipu Sultans army fighting the British. The painting depicted a fact forgotten in Tipu's own country but commemorated here on the other side of the planet."

That depends on how easily I could compile it, and how much more effective it would be than querying. At the moment I can't come up with anything better than queries.

I'm willing to part with some money to have someone implement it for me if I see there's demand.

I'm happy we don't let the building/access of infrastructure to companies only and instead let them work something out with the government/EU. In a country where space is not abundant, it would be hell to search through multiple proprietary stations to find the right charger.
That one seems pretty tame and SFW though. Wikipedia certainly has more explicit articles that would raise eyebrows.
In Germany there is a part of the population that think they don't need to get vaccinated, because it's ok when all the children are immune after infection on our path to herd immunity, while they get away without vaccination. We got stuck below 70% vaccinations because of this. I really hate these people and mindset. My 5yo son should not be exposed to that risk, because some idiots are afraid of vaccinations or too lazy. I really hope vaccination for kids will be available soon, then I can forget about these people.
Beef is literally just grass. Humans began herding grazing livestock because we can't eat grass.

Given the amazing variety, quality, and price of foods available in the developed, globalized world, I cannot fathom why anyone would want to eat grass anymore.

Maybe gut bacteria are mind controlling people to eat it, to their benefit at our expense. I've certainly noticed the craving effect, almost universally regardless of food, for the things I eat. Going from meat to vegan was challenging, but I'm better for it.
Another non-vegetarian here. I made a veggie hotdog last week which was close enough to the real thing that I would struggle in a blind taste test. Hot dogs are super easy to immitate, they're mostly not meat anyway.

Also ancedotally, I recently took a meat-eating friend-of-a-friend to a vegan fried chicken place. They said it was close enough that they wouldn't be able to tell the difference after a couple of beers. And they had recently worked in KFC...

I'd hazard a guess that the reason veggie hotdogs haven't appeared at US ballparks has less to do with the food itself, and more to do with cultural attitudes towards vegetarianism, especially amongst sports fans. Call it toxic masculinity if you want, or just stubbornness.
> A PhD is a full-time job. It took me 6.5 years and was hard enough with very little outside distractions.

Interesting, in France in computer science, PhDs are often made while working part time on something related to the PhD.

A vegetarian told me that this is due to practicality. When he goes to some event, why does he bring sausage-shaped "meat"? Because then he can use the buns and ketchup that were provided for everyone. Same with burgers...
This puzzled me until I realized you're talking about mainstream news-type sites. I agree on that, but these barely qualify as writing in the first place, since none of the traditional goals apply. It's like if the only kind of video you've seen are ads and you then proceed to complain about the info density of video as a whole. Though most video on YouTube also sucks, some things are very well expressed in video, like the documentaries An Inconvenient Truth or Blue Planet II.

For me "long-form writing" brings to mind textbooks, LWN, some bug report emails, some HN comments. These are a different category of writing. I don't think you should sit around to wait for someone else to summarize these for you -- that attitude must be terrible for you in the long run.
> Recall, bank security purchases are paid for through the creation of money.

Funny that we needed to wait until the late 2000s - early 2010s to have this fact of economic life "officially" approved by the powers that be, people like Schumpeter were writing about it (and demonstrating it, imo) back in the 1940s, and I'm pretty sure there were people even before Schumpeter who acknowledged it, but, nevertheless, it remained a fringe economic theory for (at least) 70-80 years.
Tesla will be charging other EVs around €0.60 per kWh, or €0.24 per kWh with a €13 per month subscription.

This is only slightly higher than what Tesla owners are charged, arguably to cover the additional overhead.

Also, it's competitive: The comparative fast-charger network Ionity charges €0.79 per kWh, or €0.35 kWh with a €17.99 subscription.
Scientists are people too! What's wrong with feeding them? You can also see any research facilities and space programs as a cheap jobs program that keeps employed the people building them (scientist are really underpaid compared to software engineers, lawyers etc....), doing research in there and all the people that build anything that these people use.

It's also subsidizing the high precision research and development that private companies do to be able to provide the tools used by these research facility (thought to a much lower extend than military programs), which in turns should lower the cost of producing high precision doodads you put on your wrist or your pocket.

So nothing really changes or gets better. There is always chance that government claws back the property... Why is crypto then needed in process in the first place?

It seems that issue being fixed is lack of proper land registry.
One benefit of Tesla (for Tesla inc) opening up their charging network is it provides less incentive for other providers to create new charging points. Tesla have plenty incentive as they are by far the dominant charging provider currently and can continue to expand potentially realising a monopoly on charging infrastructure. If they end up with such a huge lead over the patchwork of competitors then it’s going to give them loads of leverage.
That blog post is mostly a history of the Rust compiler than it is actually about Rust compile times, which have been continuously getting better. I wouldn't put a lot of stock in it.
We'll see. I for one believe opening up the network will lure more customers into the Tesla fold. At the moment though, Tesla's bottleneck is still ramping up production, not landing new orders.
Oh, that explains a lot. In France it's usually 3 years (180 ECTS) for a license (which is usually equivalent to a bachelor), 2 years (120 ECTS) for a master's degree and then usually 3 years for a PhD. At least in software, most people have a master's degree.
exactly, as I understand it the main obstacle is billing, which is not standardised, and for Tesla's cars and superchargers is based on an identifier in the cars that is linked to a tesla account. Even without a standardised connector and protocol it's fairly easy to make an adapter. (that said the standardised connector makes it easier to trial this in europe than in the US)

Of course, but a city-scale crypto would be centralized anyway: it couldn't be PoW because a 51% attack is way too easy, and in a PoS scheme, the city council (or their technical support company) would almost certainly keep the majority of stakes for themselves.
I don't think this is likely. It's well known that caffeine disrupts sleep and that you therefore need to spend more rather than less time in bed to get the same rest.
I have grudgingly accepted the fact that I'll never be hired unless it's on the cheap. And I already have a job. So although I still talk to recruiters occasionally I never end up pursuing an opportunity anymore. The risk of loss of income outweighs any marginal salary gains I could have. I don't have the energy to go after things like Amazon which require serious studying to get in. I got caught violating a rule that I can't rent out to more than two people and had to pay a 3000€ fine and of course suffered a big loss of income (it was worth it though, I own my house mortgage free thanks to my decision to break this rule). I discovered stock investments. So far it's not gone so well because I got caught by the spac selloff. Recently started swing/day trading and I'm now seeing a plus sign for overall gains which is good. Maybe I'll be a better trader than I am a programmer. I'm certainly greedy enough for it. Oh and I got my driver's license after two years of struggling and probably tens of thousands of euros in costs. I'm only allowed to drive an automated shifter but I'm really glad I can. So now I'll have to look for a car which is nice but also costly. My girlfriend is complaining about us not going to Budapest for a Christmas market because of all this but I guess she'll have to swallow that. She's expensive enough as it is.

Fair, low pricing

No dark patterns here, you simply pay for what you use with a lower limit.
And still it's cheaper than the competition.

Senior backend engineer who grew rapidly at my previous company and would like to do the same at yours. I've delivered large projects on tight deadlines, deciphered complex distributed system bugs, discovered 10x microservice speedups, repulsed 2 AM security incidents, slashed scope with designers, mentored junior developers, and specced out numerous features.

I'm primarily looking for BE roles; I'd consider a senior FS position, but wouldn't be as strong on the FE for a while. More than happy to pick up new languages or tools as needed - learning quickly is both one of my core skills and one of my primary goals for any position. Especially interested in companies with complex technical needs and/or high data volume, although that's by no means a requirement.
