Speed also depends on where you are geographically. Amazon.com is probably faster than Taobao.com in the States, but I'd have the opposite experience over here in China. But then Google is the slowest this side of the GFW, so that migh

I think #2 is aggravated by lack of documentation. How would any new developer ever understand the context and trade-offs made at the time if they were never written down? If there's no records, it's either reverse engineering, or

That's really cool. Was looking at the Atreus[0] and Ergodox Ez[1] before, but this one looks even better. [0] http://atreus.technomancy.us/ [1] https://ergodox-ez.com/

From what I've gathered, hard water also lowers the life expectancy of the RO system.. Also you may want softer water for cleaning dishes, since softer water means better lather with less soap, saving your detergent.

It just gets more and more complex, doesn't it. Now we have to worry about remineralizing RO water. [Tap Water] | V [Water Softener]------------+ | | V

This is your brain \this{is your brain on Math} As a less poetic example, playing Dwarf Fortress for prolonged periods of time reportedly has similar effects. The ASCII fades, and mental images take its place. It's frea

Might you be doing it wrong then? Effective practice requires you to stretch far enough, but not too far, lest you become panicked. It's better focused than "general". It requires concentration, effort and introspection. If y

Could probably do it with a lookup table, a counter and some fairly simple boolean logic. You could probably put it on a small FPGA.

I'm 20 and know what an 9 volt is. I have also licked one before. Now if you said 4.5V flat pack lantern batteries, then yes. I've seen like 1 before, and it was dead.

You could argue just as well that the number two purpose of an organization is to generate profit. Profit is a necessity to achieve your primary goals. People need to eat, but you'd have to be a pretty uninspired person if your number

Then you don't need a co-founder. It can still be nice to have one, one guys schleps are another persons hobby. Like I'm good at analysis, but bad at dealing with third-parties. The guy I'm working with is good at dealing wit

Yup, read that, no idea what it does. Now not to bash you, but here's some things you guys might want to look at. For one, there's truth in the saying "Users don't give a sh*t about your vision". They're as sel

I don't know much about the medical field, so excuse my ignorance in this, but couldn't we train Pathologists on the same data we train ANNs on? That way we could establish similar speed in feedback loops.

I heard impostor syndrome was en vogue at Google. That strikes me as the other extreme, unrealistic (low) confidence. Which is still damaging. Haven't worked at big G though, so I can't tell.

Well, yeah, but that'd be recirculating counterfeit currency. Also you might not realize that the bills were fake, and find out later in a store or something.

I think large systems would benefit from "playgrounds" as well. Staging servers are a thought in that direction, but they're a very serious matter designed to root out failures before they destroy a production system. I think

Speaking Chinese helps. You can get by with just English and rudimentary Chinese, but you're unlikely to make friends in tech. If you can do an exchange semester at one of the Universities here (Tsinghua, PKU, BIT), do it. Doing a Chin

American Universities do seem like they are playing dress up in the clothes of the older aristocratic systems whilst having dropped the key features that made these systems desirable. As an example, take analytical reading, writing, and dis

If you are worried about intimate contact with public charging stations giving your phone the cooties, just use a condom (as [0]). Or cut the data lines in a charging cable. That'd be white and green in a standard usb cable afaik. [0]

"unrealistic self-confidence" is usually termed arrogance. If you are an arrogant programmer, you will make mistakes of judgment because you're acting on wrong assumptions. Regarding actual "self-confidence" based o

And never quite took off. I think python strikes a good balance, naturalish language whenever possible, without forcing it into places where it doesn't fit. At least that's the feel I got from it.
