That's outstanding! I particularly liked your talking about your approach to solving problems. (Hardest part first, build tests) Looking forward to part two!

You need to do a lot more learning about this subject. BM25 scores documents based on their contents. PageRank scores documents based on their sources. Very different. If you are starting now, you start with Elasticsearch, because you can&#

I do not program in Go. Every non-tiny place I have worked finds it necessary to copy known working versions of code they rely on, to an internal server and build from there. You don't have reproducible builds, for example, from a remo

It's used in the Star Trek TOS episode "Shore Leave". That's where I learned it. Long predates most video games and military sci-fi.

Here is a timeline of cost escalations on the project. https://www.enotrans.org/article/timeline-california-high-sp... And we are clearly not near done with the escalations.

This project will bankrupt the state, if it continues. We have lost the ability to control costs on major infrastructure projects. The only question on the cost is how many time the original cost it will be.

Probably stop everything. The cloud situation is analogous to cell phones a decade ago, where you could easily run up a bill for thousands, with no way to prevent it. I can't recommend any service with open-ended pricing to any student

But does distilled water make spikes in your freezer? If not, then it's not the water, it's the freezer environment.

I'd have to disagree. Most changes, at least at large companies, are driven by dollars, not ego. A small change in user engagement can mean millions in revenue. Or billions, in the largest cases. Things are extensively a/b tested

That made me wonder, so I went and tested edge cases, like "abc\"d\"ef", which black quite properly converts to 'abc"d"ef'. So it does use single quotes where appropriate.

Long ago, I worked at a company that decided it needed coding standards. We spend two weeks arguing about coding standards. Nothing else got done. Ever since then, I am not opinionated about coding standards. The benefits do not match the c

I lost a google account that I had a recovery number set on. Google used it, verified it, then said it wasn't enough, and there went an email account I had used for years. No way to recover.

Garbage site, garbage article. "Pilot legally isn't allowed to keep flying." would be more accurate. And browsers need to start blocking history stuffing.

Self publishing is the only sensible way to go these days. Getting published traditionally has always been a crapshoot, with little to do with the quality of the work (look at the number of times JK Rowling and Stephen king were rejected i

It's totally reasonable. Don't take too much pricing advice from people who aren't using it. A limited free trial can be good. But if you make it cheaper or free now, it's way harder to go back up In Price than it is to

There are to many tags to be useful, and the quality of tags is low. For example, I searched for banana boat, thinking of the song. "Song" was not one of the tags offered. Nor "day-o", nor Belafonte. But I did get "

By "the ecosystem" they mean the python ecosystem, not the PyTorch ecosystem. PyTorch is a small part of the python ecosystem. The python ecosystem is not going to change at all if PyTorch moves to Julia.

This post is a good step. I'd add "network, network, network". Tell everyone you know that you are looking. (At least ones that won't get back to your current management). Go to meetups in your area (or online). Talk to
