This strikes me as pretty childish. If it had read more like "I left because I was frustrated with code quality", and actually took ownership of the feeling, that'd have made a big difference. It reads more like "i left

That'd give them the opportunity to put an ad for google cloud right above it!

I've had similar experiences in my dealings with ADHD. I've found resources like khan academy and 3b1b to be miraculous in helping me stay engaged. or atleast letting me rewind and watch multiple times. w.r.t. books on programmi

consult a doctor. they're probably controlled substances in your area, and people trying to get them illegally makes it all the more difficult for people that actually need them to live a healthy life.

There's no evidence that they actually help people that don't have adhd. it'll just make them _feel_ like they're doing better, in spite of any objective measure.

i don't think you'll find much sympathy for the free thing not being good enough it's pretty reasonable for them to ask for a CC -- making it too easy to get free compute/bandwidth is opening the door wide for abuse. ..b

I don't think anyone is arguing against having removed the red tape for covid. The same risk:reward doesn't exist for herpes though.

Interesting. I don't experience much of what you're describing -- especially B. How often is it that you have a service that drastically differs in purpose from it's original intent? Can you give an example of how that come

indeed. this is one of the benefits of a concurrent sequential processing model with a scheduler. e.g., in Go, blocking syscalls get put on their own thread in a thread pool, so that processing can continue while waiting. I'm sure you

For context, I say it to myself because of my severe adhd. It's quite frequently the case that I'm inclined to not do anything at all...in which case, I use it as a mantra to help me just get something done. e.g., it's bette

I don't think that's strictly true. There are books/projects that one can do in other languages to get acquainted with ML -- there's nothing that _strictly_ ties it to python, at all. Would it open doors? sure! -- and i

I love jetbrains' products, but I really miss the days where intellij ultimate was essentially an all-in-one release. I'm in a polyglot environment, and it's frustrating to jump from editor to editor.

I understand the distaste for the stiffness of descriptive names...but I've found that over time trying to explain why a project has a clever name, or what it really does, to be quite arduous. And usually not too long after I've c

As far as I know, I coined it for myself. It's possible I read it somewhere that I've forgotten and am not properly attributing it. It's something that I've had to learn the hard way, but has recently really been instil

- KISS - YAGNI - Test what you ship and ship what you test - Either learn a new technology or a new domain. Don't try to learn both at once. - Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good - Just keep breathing, that's the

This is actually an incredibly frustrating thing -- when doing disk i/o, the process goes into an uninterruptible sleep state[0]. So if your shell is doing some tab completion that goes into an uninterruptible sleep, there's no es

I've learned to really loathe 'fun' names for projects (especially internal-only projects). it really just obscures whatever the project is intended to do. AWS is probably the worst in this regard...so many services with nam

there's also a non trivial amount of zealots that then complain when people refer to the language as "golang"...it's not correct, but hardly surprising either

kind of weird to see this posted -- it's not a release announcement. Just some change notes from trunk (you can see on the page it's still versioned 2.5) It does look like they've added a few nice little features (i wonder i

Because we as a society have determined that intent matters -- which is why we have the concept of manslaughter vs murder. It's a hard thing to accept, but if you're wronged by someone in a state of psychosis, there is no true mal

Showcasing a better system that the US could emulate is a great way to offer insight into how the US could improve. Interpreting it as "See how we are better than you!?" -- literally no one has said this. Interpreting it like that
