Sorry I don't have any public decks, but I'd be happy to share them with you if you can think of some way of doing it (my email is in by bio). I kind of doubt they'd even make sense if they were because they're crafted t

I've been finding that I'm coming up against the same frustrations as the author. I'm reading a bunch of textbooks and adding notes as I go to anki. I find that so long as I'm equally as willing to _drop_ a card from ank

Andy Weir was on the 'Imaginary Worlds' podcast recently for anyone interested [0]. He's nominally plugging his latest book, but most of the interview is about how he came to write The Martian (when he was a software develope

I love it as well. I'm working on a Python AST viewer tool at the moment [0] so I've been spending a bit of time playing with it lately. I'm thinking of calling it Pasta (Python AST view....A? I don't have a word that st

In an Australian (really, Sydney) context, I'm seeing a trend that employers are really struggling to fill senior technical roles, but are unwilling to raise pay. It's very strange.

I have a question about the Walmart thing - is healthcare not pro-rated according to how much you work? Or is this casual work where you get a higher hourly loading to compensate? I'm trying to translate it into the Australian work con

The one ethics course I took as an EE undergrad taught me exactly one lesson - that the whistleblower always has their life ruined, and even ones who (in the US) have received significant payments typically regret it. I think it's the

Quite a few retail shops try this sort of rubbish now. I've given up saying 'no' and just give fake numbers and emails now.
