Algorand was the first blockchain I ever used without knowing it - to hold the results of games on the official FIDE chess online tournaments - and I found that pretty cool. No costs etc, just a log on the chain with my matches and scores.

Require a stake to setup an account, say $10, and if a spammer is too spammy and too many people complain they lose the stake. Or maybe it's just paid out on a long delay. Now spamming costs quite a bit. Add to that a blacklist feature

FWIW I quite liked the trading card games on Blockchain because you could sell cards you didn't want, buy those you did, and packs became like 'real life' in that you could get a really cool legendary and make some money (jus

I saw a twitter thread that this was a sell off to repay investment whales at a better rate than the real one - it was some big twitter guy in the space but I couldn't find it if I tried. If anyone knows the one I mean, please comment

I had a four stage interview process with a startup where I also built a pretty solid plan for how to build their project once I started and when it got to negotiations I asked for $140k, they countered $90k, I said no way I’d do less than

Check out devcontainers on VSCode when you start building. When I first started working on full stack projects I wasn’t sure how to literally connect the pieces but these containers give you all them via Docker which simplifies so much of t

I did speak to an immigration lawyer to check! It's something like if I stay beyond a certain date I'll have to pay but because it's short term it's only state taxes.

Fun thing - I work in the Bay Area but because of my visa I don’t have to pay federal taxes and only pay state which is like 18%

I probably wouldn’t go back to a Haskell work env to be honest. It’s not worth the headaches to write well and lacks a lot of useful libraries

FWIW my wife’s a researcher at Stanford applying ML/DL to MRI to speed up acquisition times and working closely with clinicians (I think they’re actually rolling it out in the hospitals) and the results have all been positive.

.ai is already way more expensive than .io; I looked the other day and if I remember correctly it was $100pa. I usually get .io for around $33 a year. There’s some vanity domains that are $249 a Year

Thanks! I remember Texas Universities HPC Lab released an online book a few months ago but couldn’t find it no matter how hard I looked, you don’t know the one perchance?

What’s an example of something you couldn’t upgrade declaratively, by having those imperative steps in a script?

You should be able to know the difference between the two because my GPT-3 friend has a full-time job using Racket. GPT is capable of saying invalid predicates ;)

One thing I loved when looking at F# was Type-Driven Development that I imagine could be quite applicable to data modelling (as in, piping stuff around and sanitising). This has possibly had the biggest impact on how I think about programmi

I looked a while ago and apart from some scripting at Naughty Dog it sounded like it's strictly used in academia and hobby projects. It is however probably my favourite language at the moment and if you're willing to learn somethi

This is true for literally as little as 0.1% of the entire worlds tech entry level positions. Probably even less. The world is a little larger than the stops of the Caltrain. FWIW, based on Glassdoor, Salary.com, and a couple other sources

Semi-related but I heard of someone - a friend of a founder I worked for a couple years ago - who tried to get into Oxford and failed, so took a gap year to go travelling. Applied again the next year and failed, so took a second gap year an

My wife working in research at the moment and wouldn't recommend that either (as she works her thousandth weekend in a row for low pay getting stressed about output to find the next research position)
