Ayy, I did the same in high school in the 2000s. It was most if not all the mail I got back then and it felt special.

The author doesn’t criticize the use of AI. It does criticize putting technology over user experience and there is a wonderful quote from Steve Jobs that illustrates the point.

I’m on the application side and I’m curious, what role do cover letters fulfill in your hiring pipeline? P.S. Do you need an MLE?

Some[1] do invest, others don’t. Personally, I see myself on the poor side, rather than the rich side and what I care about is having a good life however short it is. Family, friends and adventure. I don’t believe in the afterlife in any fo

I’m being nitpicky here but if you’re not driving in an instructor’s car and have a second steering wheel and pedals, you can’t take over. You can only touch the steering wheel from the passenger seat and maybe the handbrake. Full control i

I don’t quite think so. I think we’re in a status quo that prevents/obfuscates a more efficient economic activity because it inflates GDP which makes the politicians and economists happy. The magic number won’t go up much if you call s

I’ve been looking since January and I still can’t find a job. I’ve made it to last interviews and I’ve been told they really wanted to hire me but at the end of the day I’m still on the market. I’m in a tech hub(NYC) and willing to come 5 d

It comes down to voice/exit/loyalty and a lot of people have chosen voice/stay apparently.

Because names mean a lot in and outside software. Try naming it “ML: The Big Nerd Ranch Guide” or use a O’Reilly/No Starch-style cover and you will get a similar reaction.

Would this work when upgrading from one Ubuntu LTS to another one? I’ve been thinking of going from 22.04 to 24.04 but I just get lazy.

Who checks dependencies other than the author of the library ? The only time I check them is when they break and that's not a good thing. I see this argument as “it’s not my job” type of argument. Most of the time you just install and

Wait, what happens if the high pitched whine is always there when you’re in a somewhat quiet place? Is that still the nervous system?

I think that’s more of a hindsight than a concrete wish people had. Audio player, cell phone and camera were already implemented by “dumbphone” Nokias. I think adding mobile internet was a mistake. I use it all the time but it doesn’t add m

I use high-temperature oils in general so I’m not sure if those get turned into harmful polymers. Do you know of any studies on that?

Significant other was studying removal methods for those chemicals and as soon as I learned enough about them, I threw all of my non-stick pans away. Learning to coat steel pans in oil to make them non-stick-ish has been a great help.

This is more a personal stance than anything else but digital scarcity shouldn’t exist. We’ve created this digital world that doesn’t have much of the physical constraints on it, why introduce them into it. What’s the point?
