This is a very nice and comprehensive checklist. I find that many articles e.g. on creating a Lean Canvas are so buzzword-heavy, even pompous, that they are unbearable reads. This reads like a practical guide. Awaiting the next installment. Thank you.

The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins.
Intel is nearly as criminal as Volkswagen was (and many car manufacturers that did the same, but were caught less visibly). The latter cheated with anti-pollution regulations, Intel with computer security. Maybe a slight difference is that car manufacturer with full intention violated regulations. Intel "only" neglected the knowledge their experts had that their products were insecure.

In both cases they fully knowingly sold customers inferior, dangerous products without telling what they knew. Intel deserves to get massive fines and their managers deserve criminal charges as it has happened to the car industry.
That collection has a bunch of great stories. Some I particularly like:

* "Report on an Unidentified Space Station" — shades of Lem, Borges, and Harlan Ellison as a crew explores an apparently infinite construct.

* "A Question of Re-Entry" — post-colonialism á la Heart of Darkness by way of science fiction allegory; a beautiful companion to his apocalypse series (of which the best is The Crystal World; there's another story here, "The Illuminated Man", that Ballard used as the basis for that book).

* "The Drowned Giant" — an odd fable about giant found washed up on a beach and how a cottage industry of scavenging grows around it. (There's a decent animated version of this story in Netflix's "Love, Death & Robots.")

* "Dream Cargoes" — I guess I like Ballard the most when he's off in some tropical environment where nature is doing weird things, and this is one of them, and also because it's implied to be set on Vieques, an island that I love very much.

There are a few duds, but what's interesting is the wide span of Ballard's focus. He doesn't do one type of story, but many. (Unfortunately his later career could have done with more of this type of imaginative variance; he spent his last couple of decades writing at least three (four, if you count Running Wild) about rich gated communities hiding dark psychological secrets, and they were not very good.)
> A straight forward, easy to read, performant C++ solution took me 10 minutes; an ugly unidiomatic OCaml version took me 30 minutes; and a beautiful idiomatic OCaml version using recursion that still no non-OCaml programmer could ever read took me something like an hour...

Replace C++ with English and OCaml with Japanese or Estonian and you'll get the idea.

OCaml is a vastly different language from what C++ is. Switching to OCaml from C++ is not at all like switching to Go or Java. If you switched to OCaml from SML or Haskell, you would write a completely different opinion.

Paradigm shift takes huge mental effort, that's something you have to deal with, unless you want to confine yourself into the comfy world of familiar languages.
People who've worked in the service industry in general seem less likely to be prone to leaving negative reviews. In some populations this probably equates to more men than women, depending on socioeconomic demographics, but as others have said, this methodology is crap.
So we are model ensembles, probably capable of real-time training of short term memory.

LLMs are maybe a type of mind. They may carry and operate on basic thoughts, ideas, books, pages, sentences, words, letters….

They can probably problem solve and write code that runs sometimes. What they know about the world was told to them through stories, so whatever way we see it, they will too, maybe.

I don’t have to imagine anything in mind to process thoughts. All I need is an attention loop.

Ah, interesting, he mentions it started with him trying to represent pixels through ceramic tiles. That's a neat concept and he's apparently been at it for 25+ years now, that is dedication.
My understanding is that, however, calls into Fortran happen because you want some subroutine to be «as fast as possible».
Researches have been using machine learning to identify potential compiler optimizations for many years now. Naturally the problem with doing so is somehow ensuring, with a high degree of confidence, that such optimizations are correct wherever they are used.
What about back when you started to sturdy C++. Will that not have taken you more than an hour to do an performant and elegant C++ solution?

I feel what is critical is to practice it more often and also to do a jump into how we think as a developer because OCaml is a functional language from the ML family. The way we have to design and think is not exactly the same as all the other mainstream languages.
I guess it is called "NAME OF THE CORPORATION square", but, well, isn't "corporation square" a great name for a mall!
Super Mario Odyssey and Bowser's Fury could be good choices, since both contain secondary characters for player 2 that can move, hurt enemies and interact with the environment, but can't actually take damage from anything and are in some way tied to player 1's progress.

The only issue with the former is that because player 2 controls Cappy, you won't always have him where you need him to bounce off for a difficult jump.

Yoshi's Woolly World and Crafted World could work. They're both co-op games like the New Super Mario Bros series, but come with a 'mellow mode' where players can fly around freely and platforming is much easier.

Super Mario Bros Wonder is a good choice, since there are characters who are completely immune to damage, and (for the Yoshis) have the ability to flutter jump in mid air to make platforming far easier. The special world levels would certainly be a challenge, but hey, having two players actually makes the game easier for you as well, since you can revive so long as one person is alive.

If you liked Kirby, then Kirby's Return To Dreamland and Kirby and the Forgotten Land have co-op multiplayer and work about the same. Maybe Star Allies, but the game isn't really as good as the other two.

Oh and Luigi's Mansion 3. Gooigi is player 2's character, and has a way easier time during the adventure than Luigi does, respawning whenever he runs out of health, being immune to spikes, etc.

Hope that helps!
"can be" is very far from "is going to be" and even further from "is going to be paid for".

What percentage?

I would estimate a percentage far closer to ZERO than even ONE percent.

Something like 20% of users use adblockers and that takes a fair amount of effort for regular folks. So, right off the bat, we're talking << 20% as a starting point because it's much harder than using an adblocker extension.

To be able to CREATE a user style sheet that can apply to arbitrary websites without making them look like ass would be very difficult. Unless, of course, one WANTS all websites to look like ass.

I guess, somewhere, there's a nice stash of ready-to-go css that folks can apply (using developer tools or an obscure extension) on their browsers? I don't know. I never looked. But that would involving a lot of fussing I can't imagine normal folks doing that at all.

The comment you first replied to started with ”from the emails…”. So it’s very odd to speculate on a theoretical defense without knowing the details, in particularly, what the emails said.
The big advantage of using nix modules to run a service is they usually work out of the box, with sane/secure/reasonably production ready defaults. Similar to why you might choose to use a Helm chart to deploy to a k8s cluster. Quality of modules varies greatly, though, depending on their popularity.

Common services usually have undergone some amount of hardening as well, so you probably aren't giving up much in terms of security vs. containers. Again, your mileage varies tremendously depending on the package, so I do strongly recommend reading the source of the nix module of security is a concern.

I also find that consulting the nix source for a service lets me quickly understand the different pieces that go into a deployment - this may not be an advantage to you if you aren't inclined to dive into nixpkgs source on the regular.

Finally, if you are at all bought in to Nix/NixOS then you will greatly appreciate being able to configure your services using module options that have already been created. You can also run docker containers in NixOS, but you'll experience quite a lot of friction if you want to expose service configuration as nix options. Using an existing NixOS module means someone else has done that work for you.
I tried mastodon but it seems to be on the other extreme - too quiet. Perhaps i should look for more servers.
Cool idea. Wish it worked from the website.
The Paradox of Choice is good, but imo it is a blog post turned into a book. Unless you're really, really into the subject, just read a summary.
Yes. It was common to translate names in the past. There wasn't this same idea that you had one fixed, official name either (admittedly, that became a tendency early in western Europe). If going by different names in different contexts makes things easier for the people you care about, why should it matter that it makes things harder for some distant bureaucrat?

> If you can stop them from doing it again by locking them up in comfort for 10 years instead of discomfort for 20, then that is what we should do.

You're never going to stop many of them from reoffending. Even the "best" rehabilitation programs have crime rates far above the general population.

The additional 10 years is 10 more years where they can't hurt innocent people. The justice system exists for the benefit of society and innocent citizens, not criminals.

Why would you ever assume that? Punishments absolutely have a deterrent effect.

a) It's cheaper to fund the new resources than it is to continue the pointless war

c) Ruining lives by attaching criminal charges to activities should not solely be a cost-benefit analysis anyway. Or if it is, it needs to take into account the lost opportunities and lost years of those who are caught up in the criminal system

I'm pretty much the NetBSD people focus on building to as many system architectures as possible (slogan: "of course it runs NetBSD!). OpenBSD is focused on system security. It's understandable why they take different approaches in this respect.

This is what I'm using, I've written a module for Podman pods (which behave a bit like docker-compose stacks, though with a lit less powerful networking).

You can also run NixOS containers[1] - so you have a "real" NixOS configuration for your service that is still separated from the rest of the system via systemd-nspawn.

The bible - am not a religious person, don't want to become one, and I mean no shade to religious people. However, as I now read it, I'm surprised by how much western culture references it. People use examples, names and scenes from the bible much more often than I realised and it helps to recognize that.

American Prometheus by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin. Oppenheimer was an ok movie, the book it's based on is better paced.

>The huge list of projects from that era of Apple really shows how aimless they were.

Most of those projects involved active collaboration with other companies who were similarly aimless, so Apple was by no means alone in their aimlessness.

It's truly wild just how much time, effort, and money the various companies spent smelling each others' farts back in the 90s.
I bought The Elements of Typographic Style over 20 years ago. I got about an hour in and never picked it up again. It isn't that the book is bad but typography isn't a topic that I want to self study.

Looking back, nothing could have prevented the pandemic, if not China itself in January. Once the virus was traveling, you can’t prevent spread. There will always be countries and people who will not follow the rules.

It’s not just about housing. It’s also about other resources like food, wood, etc. Animals species are going extinct, deforestation, etc. All because there are too many people on this planet. Proof is everywhere.

I see your point and I tend to agree lately, there are many DNF books in my list I used to regret but not anymore as I think there is a lot good out there to read and not much time, its better to enjoy what we can than to worry or feel not satisfied by certain read.
For one they tend to be located at certain places: intersections, tourist attractions, entrances to the metro, and bridges, among others.
I was in a similar boat to yours - Worked in data science and since then have made a move to data engineering and software engineering for ML services.

I would recommend you look into the Design Patterns book by the Gang of Four. I found it particularly helpful to make extensible code that doesn't break specially with abstract classes, builders and factories. I would also recommend looking into the book The Object Oriented Thought Process to understand why traditional OOP is build the way it is.

You can also look into the source code of popular data science libraries such as sklearn (https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/tree/main/sklea...) and see how a lot of them have Base classes to define shared functionality between object of the same nature.

As others mentioned, I would also encourage you to try and implement design patterns in your everyday work - maybe you can make a Factory to load models or preprocessors that follow the same Abstract class?
I had to implement a relatively simple auth flow recently for an app (something I haven’t done in the past). Gpt3.5 struggled to give me anything useful other than high level ideas but GPT4 gave me the exact boilerplate I needed and unblocked me.

I had searched all over the web for an example addressing my specific use case on google and couldn’t find one. GPT4 produced a working example for me and got me past that road block. I also use it regularly to suggest better coding patterns and I find it does a really good job at doing code reviews for obvious mistakes / anti-patterns

Ah, personal responsibility. Declension, in my experience, is usually as follows -

*They* deserve their fate because they are weak, stupid and bad.
*You* have made some bad choices and may work to recover from them.
*I* have merely made a small mistake and deserve a second chance.
Right. Same goes for learning any radically unfamiliar style of programming.
There are people who say once you've learned one programming language it's easy to learn any other programming language, but this just isn't true. The differences between languages aren't always skin deep.

On the plus side these are the learning curves most worth climbing, as it broadens your understanding. That might be reason enough itself, but it might also make you a better programmer in your usual wheelhouse. Haskell, Forth, and assembly, are worth taking a look at for this reason.

If you want to go further down the exotic language rabbit hole, there's Mercury [0] and Joy, [1] both of which I keep meaning to learn. (Hadn't realised until today that they're both from the University of Melbourne.)

Yeah in fairness at least it has one package manager and it does seem well designed even if it doesn't actually work properly half the time. So it is fixable!
