Worked with a guy who wore a suit to the office as a 2-year experience dev and he was always taken into client meetings last minute when they needed someone. Helped his career a fair bit I think!

That API does seem to cover everything - location, inventory state, kills & assists, care packages, breakable walls… I think the only info you don’t get is shooting (unless that updates the inventory state?) and even if it does, directi

As I’ve previously commented on this topic on HN, the only reason this will start a food shortage is if people start prepping for a food shortage. If this news wasn’t as widely reported we’d be fine but the more we talk about it the more li

Just because it’s easy to use contactless doesn’t mean we should lose the privacy that cash gives us. The only people who win from this situation is the governments ability to control at a more granular level.

My wife makes us clean the house, run the laundry, and do any budgeting we need to do on a Saturday (the time depends on our plans). It takes an hour or two in total if you just focus on finishing quickly. Does it suck? Yes. Do I moan about

I think I toggled with the GC for less than a week in my eight years experience including some systems stuff - maybe this is true at FANG scale but not for me!

It’s pretty fun! The field goes from ML image analysis on artifacts, such as trying to identify artists in pottery, through to satellite image analysis, LIDAR scanning, ancient DNA analysis. My friend does underwater archaeology in Japan an

I’d be interested to know how many interdisciplinary engineers you know who are the top 1% in two fields at the same time :)

by exdsq 5y ago
I love this idea. You don’t need to be at the top 1% of a field to do cool innovate stuff, just be good at two or three different fields and see what happens when you combine them. Currently going down this rabbit hole with computational ar

Holy shit there’s some serious voodoo waffle in these comments!

Yep - I live in Palo Alto and mentioned I was training for a half Ironman. Someone asked if I was blogging my journey and what my ad strategy was to bring in revenue.

Feels like everyone nowadays plays video games to try and become rich/famous rather than just for fun too. Try play Apex Legends or Warzone and everyone has 'TTV' in their gamertag trying to push people towards their streams.

But you can avoid these by following best practices and using tools to find them. These are known knowns and there are solutions. The issue with Rust and others is that there are so many unknown unknowns, because it hasn't had the same

Ukraine is the fifth largest producer of wheat and has reduced crop sizes due to the war. This is being offset by other producers like Egypt increasing production because there's a market incentive to do so. Will this result in a food

I was really interested in this sort of stuff for a year or two, but ended up coming to the conclusion the best thing is to use tried-and-tested tools with rigorous standards/practices such as C/C++ than theoretically interesting

Especially when you see hidden opcodes at the CPU level - if you can't trust the hardware how can you trust the software?

Thankfully there are games like the Soulsbourne series! I found Japanese studios are the better ones nowadays for 'genuine' games based on a one-time sale. GTA V is releasing a $5.99 subscription service that basically lets you bu

To be specific, an NFT can be anything - even a Turing complete program - but common ones are simply containing a string of a URL. Edit: I was loosely involved in some of the conversation around smart contract and token implementation on

Okay interesting - so reading the genome is basically solved nowadays and it's understanding what it's actually doing where we're working atm?

I’m a total noob but offered my development skills in trade of archaeological domain knowledge, so just getting familiar with the code base myself atm :) if you/your friends wanted any sort of intro to the team I could arrange that as
