I'm in the same boat. I used to get food delivered often, but ever since the proliferation of "delivery fee is NOT a tip", I don't think delivery is worth it. Picking up my own food only takes a few minutes and is an excuse to go for a walk. Furthermore the timing is more reliable and I can count on my food actually being hot.
If it's hot in the kitchen (I ferment on the counter so I don't forget about the ferments), I ere on the side of caution and use quite a bit of salt. After a few days I taste the brine. It should be starting to sour. If it's clearly too salty, I just add a bit of fresh water to the crock, taste again, and repeat.

I taste it every day and refrigerate the ferment once it's at the right sourness.
None of that.

The short answer is: yes! You can expect to get a job in tech today without having a degree, but it will take some work on your part. Here's what you need to do:

1. Find an internship that will give you the skills employers are looking for in tech workers today. This means learning about coding languages like Python and C++, as well as working with the latest tools like Docker and Kubernetes. These tools are all important for getting hired by a company that values flexibility and speed of development.

2. Make sure you have experience using these tools through an internship or freelance work before applying for a full-time position at any company hiring these days. Otherwise they won't consider hiring you because it doesn't seem like their investment would be worth it—they want to make sure they're not wasting time training someone who doesn't know what they're doing!

3. Finally, if possible, try to get some experience with mobile app development using Swift or Objective-C (both of which are common among companies that hire entry-level developers).

Totally agree that in practice you often need several configurations for the same systems across different environment types. For example, you probably also need a different docker-compose for running in CI when compared to dev or a deployed environment. The same applies for k8s and terraform, and many others.

Managing all these different configurations and the matrix of interactions between them is why we're trying to integrate the SDLC into one configuration at Coherence (withcoherence.com). [disclosure... I'm a cofounder]
Anything that's win-x64, linux-x64 or even osx-arm64 (at home :D) honestly. At work we utilize a mix of k8s linux hosts (standard mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/aspnet:6.0 image) and windows hosts where services are ran with Kestrel (default ASP.NET Core host).

Literally 'dotnet {AppName.dll}' and that's it.
Any tips to calm an overly cautious mind for food based tinkering like fermentation? My rational part understands that with a proper recipe and clean work there’s no more risk than from a random food locality and still … when I was young my mom was a cooking enthousiast and a great cook and she landed in the hospital with a nearly lethal food poisoning one day. That has probably shaken my senses for the more adventurous cooking like fermentation.
The Concorde was more or less what domestic business/first class is today which is pretty much what first class was internationally as well back when the Concorde was flying. (Maybe a bit more cramped--more like what's being called Premium Economy on an airline like United these days.)
the same argument can be said about literally every non-crypto currency. A US dollar doesn't have any "value" other than the small amount of heat you get if you burn your paper bills.

They were in a bad position to start with. There was no happy ending even if they'd done everything right.

But had they spent the boom years borrowing cheaply where possible, renegotiating and paying off expensive debt where necessary, moderating fiscal expansion and fighting violence around their tourist centers, they would have had better options. Instead, they voted in a magician.

> if a housekeeper shouted your name from across the room, tapped you on the shoulder repeatedly, and then unplugged the TV you were watching to get your attention, you would expect them to say something like, "my apologies sir, the den is on fire," rather than, "lol, howdy

You're talking about something completely different, urgency rather than formality. In the rude interruption example you gave, you combined the two despite them having nothing to do with each other. "holy shit bro the den is on fire!" would be an infinitely more appropriate reason for a rude interruption than "my esteemed sir, how goes your day".

Why a Century-Old Vaccine Offers New Hope Against Pathogens
The tech dystopia is already there and keep evolving, BUT is not technical, it's political. It's a dystopia selling crappy hw full of crappy proprietary crapware crap, but that's not an ML/"AI" thing, it's not even technical per se, it's just a choice of MOST OEMs of any sectors. It's a dystopia do their best to design anti-user systems, but they do not born with expert systems, they born with ANY kind of tech improperly used. It's a dystopia pushing a cash-less society forcing anyone to pass though private party servers to any monetary transaction. Offering PRIVATE public ID documents on proprietary connected crappy platforms like mobile macro-spy tools mostly known as "smart-phones".

That's the substantial dystopia, the "automation" on top of it is just a logic evolutionary step.

What I find is you have people that gain 10 years of experience in 10 years and people that get 1 year of experience repeated 10 times.

The field changes, it's changed significantly since I started 10 years ago. Yet there's a fairly large contingent of devs that aren't keeping up. I've interviewed old devs that are at the top of their game and old devs that are no better than the interns we have. I've worked with the same.

Agreed. I would add that the adolescent experience has become so much less carefree since then. Academic competition is more intense, which means that you're staring down a much more competitive economic future as well. Schools have become less free and more regimented.

Why??? Climate controls should not be on a touchscreen. Display is fine, but control is not. Just leave space for some knobs and a mode switch.
Wonderful, succinct, to the point, nailing it.
I think who's going to make money in this space in the long run is a company that provides a single app to get delivery from many places, like DoorDash, but only works with companies that already offer their own delivery service like pizza joints, Jimmy Johns, etc. Such a company can charge a very small fee and simply handle the transaction and some logistics, while fulfillment is handled by the companies that have been doing a good job at it for decades. It's a win-win-win. Maybe such a thing already exists?

I currently have a Subaru, which almost gets it right. It does switch me over to radio, but if you set it to the Sirius "unit id" channel it is at least silent while you fix it, and really you press one button (the "media" button that is a physical button) and everything works again. Bluetooth is spotty, so I mostly use a USB cable.

Ford Sync, on the other hand, once it decides that it is trying to connect to bluetooth, will often completely lock up the system for minutes while it tries unsuccessfully to make things work, and then you have to navigate through their UI to get back to a good state, which means that if it decides to glitch while you're driving, you're just out of luck. If you have a little bit of luck your phone will just play the driving directions out of its internal speaker.

This is the best way to get into deep learning: Do both FastAi, and also do Deeplearning.ai. They take opposite approaches that compliment each other perfectly. Fastai starts with the practical and doubles back to help you understand the technical. So in lesson 1 of fastai you're doing practical work, and half way through the course you start learning about taking derivatives of loss functions. Deeplearning.ai on the other hand in lesson 1 you're learning about taking derivatives of loss functions, and you do practical things with it starting about half way through the course. They both are absolutely fabulous for their own reasons, but the two together really cover each other's strengths and weaknesses in an amazing way.

If you don't collect the data in the first place, you can't misuse it - and it's much easier to prove that you didn't misuse it, because all you have to show is that you never had the dangerous data in the first place. This is the same advice we give about handling PII in applications.

> if the contradictory data were to mount, and be confirmed and reconfirmed by multiple researchers over time, well, I'd like to think that we'd have the intellectual courage to admit that this explanation doesn't seem right, even though we don't have a better one.

If we don't have a better one, and if our current model makes reasonably good predictions about many things, even if its predictions aren't as good about some things, we wouldn't say our current model is wrong because it isn't wrong. What we would do is to start having more conversations about our current model's domain of validity.

Perhaps some historical observations will help. Consider the history of physics, or more specifically mechanics. Before Galileo and Newton the best model of mechanics we had was Aristotelian physics. When Galileo and Newton came along and gave us a better model, we dropped Aristotelian physics, and now if you asked most physicists they would probably say Aristotelian physics was wrong, period, without feeling the need to add qualifiers or explanations. This is the kind of case I think most people are thinking of when they talk about falsifying a theory with contradictory data.

But since that transition, there have been no theories of mechanics that have been falsified by contradictory data. When special relativity came along, we didn't drop Newtonian mechanics, and physicists now don't say Newtonian mechanics is wrong. They just say it has a limited domain of validity: it's an approximation to relativity that works reasonably well for relative speeds much smaller than the speed of light.

Similarly, when general relativity came along, we didn't drop Newtonian gravity and say it was wrong; we just clarified that the domain of validity of Newtonian mechanics is also limited to weak gravitational fields. And even if GR hadn't been discovered, physicists would still have continued using Newtonian mechanics even though there was data known in the 19th century, like the extra precession of Mercury's perihelion, that was not consistent with Newtonian mechanics. Newtonian mechanics still gets taught to physics students today, and is still used for practical computations in all kinds of contexts.

When Eric Lerner claims that "the Big Bang didn't happen", he is claiming that the Big Bang theory is destined to go the way of Aristotelian physics. But none of the data he cites justifies that claim. At best the data justifies a claim that the standard Big Bang model that assumes homogeneity and isotropy is an approximation with a limited domain of validity--which cosmologists all already agree on anyway! What we are still working out are the exact limits of its domain of validity. In other words, cosmologists in general expect our current Big Bang theory to work like Newtonian mechanics: we might discover models in the future that are more comprehensive and to which our current model is an approximation in some limited domain, but that's very, very different from it being falsified.

The article promises Our five step plan to bring crypto in every hand but ultimately provides no actual plan. Just a history of sorts and some "pre-conditions" that I guess could constitute their "plan".

Our strategy to achieve this goal comes with at least three preconditions. We need to:

- Ensure a smooth Web3 user experience, comparable to Web2’s. For that we need to use off-chain scaling solutions to ensure high throughput and low fees

- Educate customers about the benefits of decentralized technologies

- Embrace a mobile-first strategy to develop our crypto products

Let's take Educate customers about the benefits of decentralized technologies.

What exactly are the layperson's benefit? I work in this space and I can't give you a single reason why my parents would care about "decentralized technologies". They are certainly not going to go crypto-gambling by exploring alternative cryptocurrencies.

Sounds like a 1970's mindset that is wildly underestimating how much air travel has changed and how many more hundreds of millions of people can now afford semi-frequent air travel, with hundreds millions more in the pipeline.
I did not say the shortage was created by GA manufacturers, I said that GA in general is the start of the career progression for airline pilots in the US hence it serves a critical function for society. I too thought the pilot shortage was a myth until this past summer when it became abundantly clear there were not enough pilots in the world to deal with the resurgence of travel.

You could also argue that US pilots have superior training due to their GA experience as well. The over-reliance on automation and lack of stick and rudder skills is becoming a liability in those foreign airlines that train pilots exclusively in simulators and then throw them into the right seat of airliners where they're essentially computer operators instead of pilots.

The inability to for an airline pilot to land without autopilot is a very real thing: https://metro.co.uk/2019/05/16/russian-jet-crashed-captain-c...
