You are talking about game theory without any precise definition of "abstraction", which it seems like one can define it to be whatever one wants it to be.

One abstraction that is very useful is linear algebra which is an abstraction without errors. Same goes for category theory. Grothendiecks work wasn't about tolerating errors in abstractions either. Simple abstractions like generic containers are also not about ignoring errors.

Honestly, the random segues to diagonalization arguments, game theory, continuous functions, RL and Bellman equations(WTF!) sound like stream of conciousness random ramblings and an attempt at "out jargoning", much less a "formal proof". Reminds me of this story by Tadelis.

"We use Lagrange multipliers," one of them said. And for a second, Tadelis was astounded. What? Lagrange multipliers? But Lagrange multipliers don’t have anything to do with ..."Then it hit me," Tadelis recalled. "This guy is trying to out-jargon me!"
Modern GNOME is a liability to Linux desktop usage. It's usually fine, but can turn into a clunky, shitty mess at completely random and unpredictable points in your usage of it. The average person doesn't want to deal with this. It doesn't make their life easier or better. "Don't do X" isn't a real answer.

I don't dislike it because it's just different and I don't want to learn -- I've used GNOME 2, GNOME 3, Unity, KDE, Openbox, the Windows DE, and the OSX/macOS DE for a year or more each. GNOME 3 and the macOS DE are the standout bad ones of the bunch, but macOS has the excuse of a long design history that it has been continually improving on, while GNOME 3 was a step backwards from what GNOME 2 was 10 years before its release.
> Once you’ve got them, even if you’re more established, it would be crazy to leave them off of your resume, right?

Recruiters and hiring managers go through so many resumes, the last thing you want is to have someone looking for a programmer to read about your basket weaving skills.

My strategy has always been to tailor the bulk of the resume to the job I'm applying for. Bring everything else up during the interview if there's natural time to do so, because that's where they want to see who you are.

The GNOME designers really only give a damn about UI, eyecandy, and making everything as cool and good looking as they physically can. The real problem is that this has basically annihilated any trace of decent UX from GNOME, and it went from being literally one of the best UX ever made (GNOME 2, now MATE) to an absolute mess of good looking, confusing crap.

GNOME 3 and 4x aren't just "different". They are simply bad. GNOME 2 was different, and it was amazing. I remember letting my mother using my computer in the late '00s and even though she was absolutely terrible with computers she figured out how to use GNOME 2 in like, 20 minutes. Applications? Click on applications. Where is the download directory? Just click on Places.

Sadly GNOME isn't alone in this trend though, no one except KDE Plasma gives a damn about UX anymore.
If you like DDterm you may be interested in Tilix, which is designed for Gnome. It also has a dropdown terminal shade as well as regular windowed terminals, and you can drag and drop your sessions between then.

I used to use Guake as my shade but it's a lot more convenient to have a unified solution for regular and dropdown terminals.

Yes? Why are you telling me this?
I’m not so sure about that. Modern societies seem to be trending towards more democracy rather then the opposite. There are a few notable exceptions (including the USA). But I would argue they are notable because they are rare. Today’s authoritarian regimes seem far more unstable then today’s democracies. Dictatorships and authoritarian regimes are falling to a coup, popular uprisings or legislative democratic reforms, all the time (notable examples include South Korea, Taiwan, South Africa and Argentina). Even today’s most prominent authoritarian regimes in mainland China and Cuba are enacting more and more democratic reforms (albeit very limited in the former case).

But then again, I’m not a historian. So this is just some guys on the internet’s interpretation.
When I was writing my thesis I told myself to get separate room & computer without all those distractions like discord, hn blocked, etc.

so I can perform context switch easier

95% of the work was coding and it actually helped me to sit for 1-3 hours per two weeks and do solid step ahead

Unfortunely now I do not have such privilege to have separate room to learn :(

I believe environment may make things way easier.

Also I feel like I'm music addicted, very often the very first thing that I do on my PC is start playing some music. I do wonder how it affects e.g learning, focusing and similar.

I did notice that in competitive video games I play worse when listening do music, and when it's "spiky music" e.g some Disturbed's song, then I play riskier.

I do wonder whether there is some "distraction meter" for workplace - e.g 3 meetings a day (all of them with 2h gaps) + scrum + 5 emails that require at least 5 minutes of attention = not much can be done
A very minor side interest of mine. Enough to know the basics of art history, criticism and conservation. I know terms to use and where to look up details I don't recall off the top of my head. My side gig is photography, using film, and making physical prints. As with painting, a digital image or calendar page can't quite match the experience of seeing say an original Ansel Adams or Robert Frank print in person.
StatefulSets were added to handle things like this. It always seemed like an afterthought to me, appeasing people trying to run things that Kubernetes was never designed to handle.

At $BIG_CORP our executives became very excited about "The Cloud" and many teams were forced to migrate their applications over. Didn't matter if it was a proper 12 factor application or a monolithic vendor JAR that required 64GB of ram. You were punished for using VMs, so teams spent an inordinate amount of time shoving square pegs into round holes.
I did a digital detox in July of 2020, I had become overwhelmed with Discord and Reddit moderation and trying to Keep Up. I burned out hard. I turned off all electronics for a month and uninstalled the apps and restricted my phone use to calls and responding to 3 close friend's texts at a set time each day--I didn't keep it on me at all. No video games, no TV, no watch or music streaming. I had my library of local music loaded to my trusty Zune and used that exclusively for music as the only device I carried with me.

I read through the entirety of the Percy Jackson books and the Heroes sequels, the Mortal Instruments, the Seven Realms Novels, and the complete unabridged HHGTG. All it took to get my book-a-day self back was bringing myself back to my teen years when I wasn't allowed on the computer with access to the internet and my texts cost .3 minutes to read or send and I only got 100/mo. I was averaging roughly 350 pages per day.

When I wasn't reading I was drawing or writing or outside being active when it was cool enough which improved my mental health even in spite of my heat based SAD.

At the end of the month I had the attention span when I got back online to attend to a cross country move and secure a job and an apartment by the end of August. I had been intending to move for the 3 years prior.

I wonder how I could go about taking advantage of the burst of creativity and focus while still being online enough to develop some of the software ideas I have that I never follow through on without getting overstimulated and distracted.
It actually adds more flexibility to the finish layer and layout design.

If you want to make things look like a traditional stick-built house with load-bearing walls, you can do that. It's not the only way, but it's an option.

If the next owner wants something different, that's also available -- and not very expensive to change. Non-load-bearing walls and drywall and cheap and quick to demo/rebuild. Flooring material is a bit more effort and cost, esp if not carpet or polished concrete.

Literal drop ceilings with those fiberglass panels are pretty ugly, but there are many other options. I like wood, but it's expensive. You can always do drywall though, it's familiar, and relatively cheap to modify.
>If this is written in the library, that is 2^n combinations of file output functions

This is a feature you want. When you code you want to build things in a style that's modular like legos such that you have the ABILITY to build 2^N or more combinations. Any style of coding that restricts this ability is a detriment. Don't get confused, we're talking about the term "modularity" here. Modularity is a feature you want. Who wants a library/framework/programming language that DOESN'T give them ability to be modular or have the capability of building 2^N combinations? It's about ability not actuality.

Not every high level function needs to be implemented. Like any framework you should be given the tools to build whatever you want. If you want somewthing simpler, that's ok too. Then you wouldn't expose all the core low level functions of the library. You would expose higher level functions in your api and make the primitives private. But to build those high level functions, the way to go is to modularly construct them as I did in the example above.

Maybe they don't need logFilterWithSuffixToFileAndSocket. Then don't create it. You just need the foundational primitives such that if I wanted to create it, I CAN. And you can also expose primitive functions through the API such that users CAN too. That is the core philosophy of programming.
It's not just about getting it to run. The devil is in the details: sleep mode, bluetooth, power usage, etc etc. Usually, the first 90% went great, and the last 10% took whole weekends to fix.

The heart didn’t directly fail, however the procedure failed due to the immunosuppressants used.

I don't want to list a specific cert since the name of holders is public but GIAC certs (and SANS training) have been the most useful to me. They are very expensive and most people need a company to sponsor them as a result and also some in the industry complain about how them for one reason or the other but personally it isn't so much in terms of memorizing random facts or gaining some very deep insight but being exposed to very technical material and practical and current industry practices and knowledge. I think a lot of the critique is due to wrong expectations. You're not gonna become a threat intel expert or malware analyst because you took a sans/giac cert but it would be similar to taking a post-grad university course on the subject. They are also very vendor neutral and open source friendly. Their instructors are well recognized and accomplished in their respective fields.

Security aside, CCNA has to be the most valuable IT certification. They are cisco specific but the sheer amount of knowledge you need to understand for it and the foot-in-the-door opportunity is extremely valuable.

OSCP as well as others have noted.
The Reason Your Amazon Searches Are Returning More Confusing Results Than Ever
Need? No. Everything beyond machine code is sugar.

Can certain things be solved neatly with inheritance in a given language? Sure.

Is it a hammer for every nail? No.

For example, at work we use Delphi. Delphi has fairly excellent support for COM-like interfaces[1]. I prefer using interfaces, and I prefer to use composition where it makes sense, since Delphi has support for delegation[2].

But when implementing certain interfaces I might use inheritance through a base class with one or two abstract methods.

Could I have done the same through composition? Absolutely, but sometimes using inheritance leads to a smoother implementation. To me this is a happy middle ground, in Delphi. The resulting hierarchy is very shallow, almost never more than two levels. And the users are shielded from this implementation detail through the interface.

Livable means different things to diff ppl (duh). For me which city is livable is very personal thing outside of basic necessities. Münster almost bored me to death plus the church bells were super loud where I stayed. Service people were special kind of polite plastic robots, but for some people its what they want
I'm just speculating.

But it would make sense to call what they are doing 'dissolving the studio', even if some legal entity (either the same or a successor) stays around.
The industry currently wants competitive programmers. Obviously no certification is necessary but that is the best place to spend your time.
Basically, everything that a regular graph is known to contain will also be present in this broad class of graphs (by simple inclusion).

This is enough to establish some results like Thomassen's, that is, containing a sub-graph of minimum degree >= \delta and "girth" >= g (where you need the degree of the regular graph to be large enough in terms of \delta and g).

*girth of a graph is the length of the smallest cycle (a triangle is a cycle of length 3).
I have a bachelor of arts in history, most of a bachelor of commerce and the CPA designation.

I was into programming and computers when I was a kid and in high school but for whatever reason I decided I didn't want to study computer science. Ended up in an arts program, which I graduated from and reached the top of my career path nearly immediately by getting a minimum wage job at a bookstore. I went back to school for accounting and became an auditor at a public accounting firm. I made it to manager, burnt out, and decided that I'd explore other options. I ended up with a consulting side gig at a startup using both my tech and accounting knowledge, and now my primary job is in finance process transformation/automation.

Looking back, it looks like my career path was tailor-made for the position I'm in now. I use all my education - arts has made me a good communicator, researcher, accounting has given me good technical and management skills. This is just the narrative fallacy at work though, I had no idea what I was doing along the way (and still don't!).

Public accounting and CPA has been fantastic at teaching me how businesses work inside and out, and is very valuable for what I do now. I don't know if I'd recommend it for everyone, but studying accounting itself is probably a good idea for anyone working in management or finance.

I need to share this horror story about buying a new laptop from Dell
What if there were humans who only existed because they were bred and raised for organ transplant? It wouldn't surprise me if this already exists.
While hitting Super is great they also for some bizarre reason make it ONLY work with left Super. This is fine for laptops which only have a left Super typically but it's really weird on desktop keyboards which typically have two. By default my Kinesis Advantage only has a right Super key so when I first started using GNOME after a long while I thought it was another random thing they removed for no reason. Nope, just doesn't work with right Super keys for some reason. Fortunately I can remap my right Super key to a left super key but I really don't feel like I should have to and not all desktop boards can remap it in the first place.

Alright. But the GP comment claimed upgrading PG was a piece of cake. You claim it is not a piece of cake. So it sounds like you agree that the claim that upgrading PG was a piece of cake was misleading.
This was a formative read for me many years ago but only recently realized there is also a novel version. Has anyone here read both?
Pilot license is great because it gets you into thinking about how we make data driven decisions under pressure. And actual flying solo after you get your license helps because you do a kind of self analysis every time you screw up - even the minor stuff. There’s a lot of study and focus on human factors which is the primary cause of accidents. So it’s great to build self awareness.

Congrats on your OSCP - I run a cybersec biz and some of my colleagues have that cert and I’m always impressed when I hear someone has it. I’m a CISSP but I think an OSCP is more practical.

Ham radio extra which is elec eng focused rather than just rules of the airwaves is a good one. (I’m callsign WT1J)

In our biz I really appreciate it when folks have a Network+ or Security+ or a Linux admin cert because you can’t argue with the value of knowing networking fundamentals and the Linux command line. In fact knowledge of Linux command line is my leading indicator of competency for a QA role we have open. I look at answers to this question first every time. Next thing I look at is SQL knowledge- because I think both of these are strong predictors of deeper technical capability.

Certs are underrated IMHO because most of them provide practical knowledge that is immediately applicable in a work setting or other pastime. They give you real skills.

Lastly AWS certs are also super practical and very valuable IMO.

Great question OP!
This only makes sense if your pronouns are He/Man.
>I don't want to play "Window manager" anymore. I want the UI to do that and you know what? Gnome does that for me. I got code to write and bugs to fix - I don't want to waste my time managing windows.

What do you mean? Like GNOME will remove the concept of windows and you will have only 1 window maximum?

Do you use Slack or email? How do you get notifications without a System Tray?
Or you use a distro that restored some of the features back since GNOME is targeting only people that use only GNOME apps and it seems only 1 window at a time.

I dislike GNOME the community for their attitude, and dislike their sotfware for their shit quality and missing features, but you won't see me browsing GNOME forums or reddits to hate on them, they are getting enough hate from people that loved them just a few years back and loved when feature were removed until their favorite shit was removed and then they finally understood that the GNOME community devs and designers are not nice, just a bunch of big ego dudes pretending to be smart developers or genius designers and UX experts.
> What are you trying to do? Articulate your objectives using absolutely no jargon.

I think this is very important, but I have seldom seen it in action. I tend to run into jargonauts, everywhere.
>If you don’t like it, roll up your sleeves and submit a patch.

Please, does this argument ever work? Submitting a patch seems useless if it goes against the project's vision (or complexity thereof, see two following links for examples), it's just a waste of both parties time. Of course, they have their rights to decide so, and everybody else has theirs to complain about it, in my opinion.

>If you can’t do that, go find another desktop.

I haven't used GNOME in more than a decade, and if I could, I'd never use a GTK application ever again either, for dealing with some of the annoyances and "easter eggs" goes against whatever intuition I've developed using desktop GUIs.
It's great for reading, sketching and taking notes. It's not a development machine, though some people try really hard to make it so.

I never found a good solution, so I pack my iPad Mini and my Macbook. I just need stronger legs.
Not sure if the actual certification is that important, but I’d recommend some thorough introductory course to IT service management / ITIL to everyone. It makes you way more effective in navigating more complex or bureaucratic organisations as you know a lot better what people’s perspectives and wants are.
