   Founding a startup. Two years before that I had very low self-esteem, due to having dropped out of a PhD program and coming back to my country, basically giving up the life I had built abroad over a few years. It took me one year to go back

   I have built computer vision products at my startup. I was familiar with some machine learning before, but only really learned to apply it on the job. Fast forward 7 years and the initial product and others that followed have been very succ

   I highly recommend "The Art of Readable Code: Simple and Practical Techniques for Writing Better Code", by Dustin Boswell and Trevor Foucher. It's an easy read, and well explained with good examples.

   I've had exactly the same experience. There's a saying in Brazil for this concept: "he who scorns, wants to buy" (quem desdenha quer comprar)

    It's not just the title. Time of submission affects which parts of the world will be seeing the submission. Also, randomness.

    I think they meant that you can find Lay's everywhere, not that you can only find Lay's everywhere. There's a huge difference between those two things. I'd take that any day over Soviet Union.

    JIRA, Zulip, and G Suite. I hate JIRA with a passion (everything's 10 clicks away, I never know where to click), but Zulip and G Suite are pretty good.

    There are "real experts" in industry too. Industry doesn't need only good algorithms with solid foundations, which are invented in universities (say, SVM), but also people who understand the domain and can code that knowledge

    If the number of dimensions is high, building a model by hand could be extremely difficult, and using ML makes sense.

    My recommendation for communicating better is "Nonviolent Communication" by Marshall Rosenberg. The gist of it is: be careful to separate observations from judgments, whether by yourself or others. When in a difficult conversation

    I wonder the same. Related to this, I also often wonder if there is such a thing as a completely "sane" person. Pick anyone you know well, think of their peculiar habits and sayings, and reflect on whether a "sane" perso

    I used to do the same, it works great. Super easy to find that random snippet or bit or information in Vim. The main reason I moved on (to Zim Wiki) was because my notes on the same subject became scattered around, instead of being organize

    I use Zim Wiki ( http://zim-wiki.org ). My requirements, which it fulfills perfectly, are: open source, non-proprietary format, text file storage (which I store inside Dropbox, so that solves syncing), cross-platform, hierarchic
