I think one of the reasons bootcamps get away with this kind of thing is that, for at least many people, traditional schooling also fails to teach this material. So if you're going to just teach people enough to get a job, but not ac

I agree, that's why in this case (as I say in my post) I believe they'll follow through.

That's why you promise an update, not a resolution.

It is a good statement, and I believe they'll follow through, but it's missing something important that is often missing from otherwise professional communication. The last line is "We will report our findings back to the com

Indirectly certainly, but directly it's on the same topic and rough geography as Kensington Blues, so it's extremely likely the author is familiar.

I believe the name of this article is a reference to this site and the accompanying book, about the part of North Philly he describes: https://kensingtonblues.com/

Except the better-than-average people move on, and the worse-than-average people stick around. So you have to hire above 50% just to keep quality static, and you don't every raise your bar to the point where it's hard to meet it

This is true, but if you're not in a good market I think the OP is right that having access to better companies and jobs outweighs that. I work with a number of people who were hired, both remote and out of network, pre-COVID, onto a m

Any thoughts on the automated vertical farms that are starting to see good results?

Can this link be updated to the Wikipedia page? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_square_puzzle It has much clearer explanations, both written and visual. Really it's a stretch to say the Wolfram page explains

No, but they're actively working on it. You can mount it as a CIFS share to get somewhat better performance; I believe there are some other hacks to fix specific things like "git status". https://github.com/mi

I see two ways to get out of this. One is to learn to think of those things and doing them well, even though they're not original, as part of the form. Like meter and rhyming might be part of a poem's form; it's about how you

Now imagine the consequences to people's travel decisions when you can do this for any two locations within, say, 500 miles of each other, because you can sleep in your self-driving car while it takes you there. Not just locations link

In addition to the evidence cited in other replies, this solution has now been verified by the FBI, who has in the past dismissed other supposed "solutions" as the kind of thing you're talking about. The original report of th

There are lots of good suggestions in other comments, but there is one thing I don't see that's really important. A lot of these "large ideas" are really large. Like the amount of work they take is the amount of work it

The author asks for someone to contact them with the answer to this question -- and I'd be interested as well: A small mystery remains: if the statistics from /proc/*/statm which are used by htop sync every 64

I also had no luck with a number of classical pieces that are commonly recognizable. I had about 50% luck with random pop songs.

Absolutely. I'm not arguing for widespread use of raw milk, just mentioning that I actually think that's a bigger source of lost variety in cheese for the vast majority of us (at least in the UK and US) than a few low-volume types

I've been making cheese at home for a few years now, and was lucky enough to find a local source of raw milk a few months ago, at the beginning of the pandemic. Since then, I've made cheese exclusively with raw milk. While I'

Unfortunately both parts of your comment are incorrect. Upper class Americans and Europeans generate more emissions per capita than lower / middle class people. They consume more, so they emit more. I don't know your specific si

Certainly the previous comment was conflating things that happened in the past with what's happening how. I was sometimes disappointed with the reality of the Obama presidency, like may others. But this comment is just ridiculous. From

There is an important distinction you're missing between how you're using fractal and how this article is using it. It's saying something fundamentally different, though related, about turbulence, than you're saying abou

There are two statements in this that seem totally false to me, that make me skeptical of whatever point the author is working towards. I don't know anything about this author or the point they're trying to make, beyond what they

That's not even remotely true. Most things in nature people talk about being fractal aren't, in the mathematical sense, at all. They show statistical variation between areas and only have a few levels of self-similarity. A few min

There are lots of things that appear to be true and aren't, and there is a long way between observing something that appears to be true and proving it mathematically. Your comment is misleading because it implies we should all have bee

Not the poster nor am I endorsing this, just explaining it. Everyone who works full time would benefit from a shorter work week. Only people who live to retire benefit from a lower retirement age. So if you're considering the two polic
