I did this too. I gave up reading the news about four months ago. I'm much happier and sleep much better. I found I was constantly reaching for something like the guardian to kill time (including if I woke up at night). I wanted to sti

There's a great paper from Google about this "Machine Learning: The High Interest Credit Card of Technical Debt" [0] which discusses why you should use a framework to deploy ML models (the authors are involved in developing T

It's incredibly sad that deceptive low-paid work of this type 1) attracts workers and 2) is supported by the Supreme Court.

Interesting - didn't realize Wikipedia didn't allow such articles. But in general, Golden seems to have a very strong tech bias - which is fine, but limits what it can be used for.

Pretty slick but I think calling it "The most comprehensive knowledge platform" is a slight exaggeration. I searched for a few random topics ("urban planning", "pianos" and "bitcoin") and bitcoin was

I love how thought-provoking this is. I forget when using a device how many elements work together to help you achieve your goal. I preferred the stills over the more explosive ones as I optimistically hope the devices in the stills are rea

I think an element of it is that you can have unambiguous questions with SQL, which taken to the extreme do fall into gotcha territory. I was an interviewer for a business analyst & data science team recently and we needed to hire sever

I missed it was from a plastics association. But my point about the life-cycle analysis work is still valid - I studied this a little in grad-school and the paper v plastic bag trade-off was frequently discussed because of the surprising re

There were some life-cycle analyses done which created quite a stir arguing that plastic was better when the full life-cycle was considered. I can't find the original paper but here's a summary [1] of studies with sources (from a

The fact that it's needed in a precisely made complex machine, suggests something is wrong. I think a better question is where's the evidence this is safe?

Just to be clear, OP is factually incorrect. You can contact support using the above link if you are locked out. Source: worked on the G Suite Support team for several years.

I don't think these practices scale well. One person becomes the default "migration person" (with processes that are likely not as well documented as Django) and the team becomes reliant on tribal knowledge.

My wife likely had covid in March (she was unable to get tested at the time due to no fever) and experiences similar symptoms described in the article (breathlessness and fatigue). Interestingly, she had a physical in February and all blood

I've struggled with working in similar environments. For one year (in the last 15) I had my own office and was the most productive during that time. I'm in an open-office now and use light over-ear headphones (I found the Bose Blu

I dressed up as a fortune-teller at a Halloween party in a house I shared with a few people. It was a fairly big party, 40-50 people. As a joke, I set up a little booth under a sheet and started telling fortunes. People went wild for it. Ma
