1, you bothered to use a good desktop client, putting you ahead of 95% of people. 2, you got a choice of which client to use, not always true in the workplace. 3, how many emails do you get? I averaged 60 emails per day in 2021, or probably

It's even worse than (1), the optimal solution has a high probability of picking no candidate at all.

Update, I see only the passwords are logged and not the emails, but still not great.

I wouldn't be comfortable doing this, for one thing, we know people tend to re-use passwords. So any email/password info you collect should be treated with security like they just gave you their bank login, because some of them di

Thanks for the info. I still consider LaTeX more modular since the only assumption it makes is the name of file you want to include.

The scary part about good AI is not knowing how good it is, i.e. not being able to trust it because you don't know when it'll be wrong (nor does the AI itself know).

Sure, and languages like C++ let you do this kind of thing very broadly, but it has a lot of pitfalls. One of my biggest gripes with python is that function interfaces and "type signatures" are hard to discover even when documenta

Interpreting “in” as “is an element of”, all of these are type errors. It only makes sense to ask if an X is in an Array<X>. In a language that lets you ask nonsense questions, expect nonsense answers.

But as a user, I don’t want to waste time (and resources) re-fetching the same library from different sites all the time. I might not be somewhere with a good internet connection or I might pay for data, etc.

What I find most disappointing about this is the extremely vague ask. “Do something, anything” coming from technologists? And trusting that politicians will not twist that as supporting their own agendas?

A few points I haven’t seen raised yet. 1) I bet a far fewer percentage of people use Shakespeare, Steinbeck, or any other literature in their jobs. Is this an argument for eliminating literature from the curriculum? Why or why not? 2) The

At the extreme ends, there are two kinds of slow computations. 1. A small computation that you perform many, many times. 2. A very, very large computation. For #2, big-O can still generally tell most of the story. (Example: 100 insertions i

This is very intriguing. I would love to hear a take based on research in psychology of addiction and gambling. I think the reason it would work is forcing people to decide to play with the analytical part of their brain, ahead of time, rat

Another benefit of all those things is reduced friction from switching jobs, which increases competition in the labor market and makes it more efficient. It makes it easier to found a startup, easier to quit a toxic job and look elsewhere,

Struck me as strange the discussion jumped straight to how things will be done, but not what things will be done. Surely the tools and workflows will depend on the tasks we are trying to accomplish at that time?

1. Remember that a bloom filter only answers yes/no questions. So it can't cache hash table values, but it can cache set membership (is X in the hash table?). 2. Rather than speed per se, a better reason is space. You have a small
