I dont understand all the details, but Veritasium and others on YouTube have videos on how the current/electron flow is also an illusion. Since electricity and magnetism are really fields per Maxwell equations, the current flow and oth

Reminds me of "modern control systems" courses and books I had in graduate school that contained material developed in the 60's. I think a lot of engineering research developed in the Apollo program era has been called "

The article seems insightful on the surface but falls apart very quickly when you take time to analyze what the author is actually saying in each sentence. Pretty much every statement is a logically false or bad argument or, at least, requi

Yes, but the same companies in the US have no problem asking for professional references when they are the ones hiring you.

Upwork is a disgusting place along with Fiverr, etc. The company itself, the contractors, as well as the freelancers. Everybody is lying, cheating, and scamming. I know some people make some money there and it might be lucrative if you are

Absolutely not. Please don't do this. Treat your audience as smart people and just tell them. All that pseudo-psychology just doesn't work with presentations.

Government presentations are the worst, including the likes of NASA, NIH, etc. Extremely overcrowded slides, the logo of the institution on EVERY slide, equations all over the place, no care for providing value to the audience. This gave ri

In the real world, cities like Boston go for what's called Land Value Capture instead of LVT. Basically asking developers for bunch of benefits such as bike lanes, affordable units, etc. at the time of permitting process. My thoughts a

I think there is a whole group of vim + tmux people out there and their primary use case may not be session persistence, but to construct an IDE like environment, which is also my use case.

How could this be a tmux alternative if it only provides session persistence? I use tmux mostly for layout (tiles, multiple windows, etc.) and not for session persistence necessarily. I don't know if this is why other people also use t

Mathematics or more generally academics is no panacea either. At least in engineering and applied math, there is a different assembly line of "research" and publications going on. We live in the area of enshitification of everythi

I am not a web developer. But, in general, I don't understand why state management is considered to be a big difficulty needing a framework. We have been writing complex standalone apps for decades without needing frameworks and they m

I still love his debate with Foucault from ages ago. Chomsky speaking English, Foucault speaking French! The subject didn't matter much to me, but the ease they were debating each other is something else.

Isn't it possible to force these devices only call a fixed IP address? Same thing for phones: why are these devices allowed to call back arbitrary IP addresses without the owner's control?

Call me old fashioned, but I wouldn't waste 100s, if not 1000s of bytes of program space to program them in python when literally 5-10 bytes of register programming would suffice. But, of course, this requires a bigger commitment of ti

Turkish used to be written using Arabic characters before the Turkish Republic. Now, the Latin alphabet is used. So, it was fairly easy (probably not) to switch alphabets for the same underlying language. And 29 characters are sufficient to
