   I write desktop apps using PyQt and build an installer with pynsist. This is cross-platform, but I only need Windows support. Other than that, is this project just a simplified way to build desktop applications, or would it produce somethin

   Are all-day interviews typical in other professions? Honest question. I don't think it's a good or bad thing. I appreciate meeting a lot more people when it's a long interview, but of course it is tiring.

   I was required to take seventeen (10 week, 3/hour week lecture) classes during my PhD. A quick check of a comparable program requires eleven 15 week courses, just about the same. Anecdote yes, but not a handful of courses.

   For self-study, you don't necessarily need to follow the usual progression of math classes that start at calculus. It's more important to get comfortable with linear algebra than calculus, especially the way a lot of intro calculu

    I'd recommend Pocketcasts as a multiplatiform podcast app. It has recommendations, trending, and search. If you want to leave it you can export an OPML file with your subscriptions. It's not free (pay once per platform, including

    I wish that was the case at my company. I'm required to create slide decks that are supposed to be usable as presentations and can stand alone without anyone presenting them. I don't think it's actually possible.

    I've been using used Thinkpad and Thinkpad competitors (Dell Latitude) forever. There always seems to be a big supply of used corporate computers. I just upgraded to a T450s and it's fantastic.

    I don't want to generalize to others, because a PhD can be a really painful experience, but you got me spot on. I wasn't willing to iterate and try enough paths forward until one stuck. I'm still not sure why that was, becaus

    This seemed so strange to me as a former operations research PhD student. Most people were co-authoring all of their papers with their advisers. There was nothing to steal because the adviser is already an author on all of it. The rare sing

    I'm lying on mine now. Incredible deal. It sounds like a too good to be true price. I'm sure it's not a very high quality mattress, but it was a huge improvement over my previous one and I'm comfortable.

    Neat! Any insight into why you used PuLP for modeling the optimization problem? I'm looking into good python optimization modeling libraries. Right now I use the Julia JuMP package, but pure python would be nice.

    I work for a company with a strict and specific dress code - ties and slacks for men, leather shoes, etc. I think there is a huge opportunity cost to this dress code, and we lose a lot of potential good talent. I was asked when interviewing
