It's times like these that remind me of my very favorite Bill Buckley quote: "That is like saying that the man who pushes a little old lady into the path of a bus is morally equivalent to the man who pushes her out of its path, be

I find it very interesting that Google will voice support for the Black Lives Matter movement, but it won't allow others who support BLM to monetize their YouTube content. Google loudly and proudly supports their LGBTQ+ employees and m

Semiotic goes WAY beyond simple charting. It has a wide variety of visualization frameworks which serve as bases for highly customizable graphics. I will agree that there are things one can do in d3 alone that are not supported directly by

I raise goats and I get my kids disbudded every year when they're under a week old. They scream for about 5 seconds, and it breaks my heart, but then they almost immediately go back to their old selves like nothing happened and are bac

And here I thought I had finally given up the temptation that is emacs. Combined with evil mode, I can easily see having a leader keyspace dedicated to music so I could flip through tracks mid-code without even leaving the home row. Actuall

I was really hopping this was some chain of CV, NLP, and GANs to implement word2vec but for images. I think I just found one of my new side-projects for the year.

Sorry for the delay! I only just saw this question. We have 6 goats and 13 chickens. We live in a town of 3.5k. It is large enough to have the necessities like grocery and hardware stores. At the same time, there are less than 2 dozen peopl

Hah! I was beginning to suspect there existed some pattern or answer in the result and was looking for an answer. The better part of 2 decades of mystery hunt has conditioned me. I see a four-letter snack in there that jumps out as a possib

You can update the tailwind css files as much as you like, but as far as I know, adding or removing class names will trigger a reload.

Tailwind brings with it the same issues that css-in-js does: the inability to just reload css curing the development cycle. When working with css (or a language that complies to css), any changes to the style are pushed to the browser witho

This reminds of of the time back in 2013 where someone posted a job asking for 5+ years of Node.js development experience. Node was released in 2009.

This is absolutely the best explanation of virtual particles I have ever seen. I've worked through pages of Quantum Field Theory (I'm literally looking at my copy of Peskin and Schroeder sitting atop Krane right now), expanded and

1) I found my first job out of grad school via a startup's Show HN post. It began a successful chain of SWE positions for me and unlocked many doors. 2) I was inspired to relearn JS and web development when Jen Dewalt's fabulous j

As someone who learned C as their first language, strings in every single language after that have felt like cheating. "What? You mean I can type an arbitrary string and it works? I don't need to worry about terminators or the amo

We both hand-milk and use a pump. We've had a Simple Pulse for a while. It has been reliable and easy to clean. I'd say using a pump adds 5 minutes of overhead for setting up and cleaning, but it's not that much more given th

It's full time. Fortunately, it's very flexible, so if I need to go do some chores for an hour in the middle of the day, I can make it up later. Goat pics also help with team bonding.

I did and I did. I still raise goats and run a business selling soap made from their milk, but I also work remotely as a SWE. We never wanted to do it full time, but I did get to take a bit over a year off before going back. I have absolute

Snowops for sure! I calculated a few weekends back that I had moved over 150 tons of snow in the previous 24 hours. Also threw 4 or 5 sheer pins and ate a hidden Amazon package with a snowblower, but that's part of the territory.

Almost 2 years ago, I quit my job as a SWE at a FAANG and started raising a small herd of dairy goats. We use the milk for personal consumption and to make soap to sell. They give a nice rhythm to the day: I greet them shortly after rising

Great question! The biggest difference is luminosity. The proposed collider, eRHIC (electron Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider), will generate 100-1000x more collisions per second than HERA. Second, eRHIC will generate ion beams as well a pro

The next two decades of nuclear science are going to be extremely exciting as the next-generation electron-ion collider is built and comes online in the US. Since electrons are not composite particles, electron colliders allow us to probe

I'm often very critical of FB, but this approach makes absolute sense. Australia is demanding payment for every shared news story so FB decides it no longer allows the sharing of news stories. This is like if politicians were shocked t

I believe the 50% match the GP is referring to is 50% of what you contribute, not 50% of base salary. For example, if they put in 6% of their base salary, the employer matches with 3%. I assume from context that the 4% you mention is a stra
