   > It's clear that 2020 [...] has arguably completely changed everyone's lives for the long term. I don't think there is much to argue about this. Every year changes everyone's life for the long term.

   Agreed, and also it's worth noting that we're talking about companies here. Yes, for any individual the amount of money lost is insane, but that's the risk for the company. If one individual can accidentally nearly bankrupt t

   Great read with pleasing aesthetics. However, there is one point I do not agree with, namely: > That isn't to say children should understand your references and jargon. Do not over-simplify your language and weaken your ideas. Rathe

   I know that it is possible, but think that ensuring correct backups can be difficult and that a VPS is actually quite pricy. (Especially if I want my data outside of a place which the NSA can touch, that is, no DigitalOcean or Azure.) Do yo

   There exist journals who accept only Word documents (and then translate it to LaTeX after the editor accepts the paper).

   These problems mostly seem to come from trying to use Julia in some kind of visual studio paradigm. The key is to leave the REPL running, I find. Then, with Revise.jl the speed is insane because nothing has to start up; only the changes you

   I just would like to say that requiring a flight to be able to focus is absolutely ridiculous. I think the question already starts off in the wrong direction. There are no tricks which solve the problems completely. It would be like asking

    This also sounds like the Nix language ( https://nixos.org/ ).

    I would like to promote the Netherlands here. The university I'm working for aims to have all papers open-access. This is derived from national policy [1]. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_access_in_the_Nethe

    I noticed that anytime I thought I was clever by using memoization on a function with side-effects, that it in fact could become very complicated very quickly. It's a bit similar in your situation: What if someone actually wants to sen

    This sounds awesome! I'm using NixOS for almost a year now and am still very pleased with it. It can take some time to get things to work, but when it works you'll never have to look at it again! My biggest problem with Haskell is

    I think social media is as social as sitting in a bar where everyone tries to get you to listen to their stories and look at their photos. To respond to someone in the bar you can send a text, which they might respond to somewhere in the fu

    For anyone wanting to set up WireGuard with the Pi-hole DNS blocker: I would advise https://github.com/racbart/wireguard-pihole . Just a simple shell script. No Docker or Kubernetes required. I installed it on the cheap

    For me it makes sense on my single monitor as well. Couldn’t go back indeed. I still wonder why Windows is called Windows, but actually very bad at handling windows if you compare it to i3.

    Julia is by far the favorite language I have written code in. It is extremely expressive, while also being easy to read. Most design decisions are spot on. For example, the language has syntactic sugar, but not too much. Everything in the b

    I think this is an amazing course and indeed missing. I learned the things presented in the course only after graduating CS and working at a company! They (rightly so) thought I was somewhat of a fool because I preferred to use Windows. One

    Almost all Jocko podcasts if you ask me. Some tell great war stories while others go into military leadership lessons. I think these lessons generalise well to outside the military since bad leadership receives harsh and direct feedback, th

    Nor do business mergers in general. The benefit of mergers is that bigger companies have bigger benefits for top executives. For example, higher status, bigger paycheck and better car for the CEO.

    My conclusion after reading many papers in the Natural Language Processing field (which is now all about machine learning) is that, generally, company papers focus on tweaking pipelines until they have increased the accuracy score. If they

    For me no data analysis is necessary to come to a similar conclusion. My parents have a farm in the Netherlands and they are reminded of the lack of rain daily. The most clear example is of the channel ('gracht' in Dutch) around t
