Personally I find it helps with immersion for content of that era. E.g. the non-digital aesthetics of Tarintino films contribute a lot to their style in my opinion. Plastering fake film grain ontop of something is not really my ideal, but g

If anything it's rather the start of programming in my opinion, or rather the start of a new era. We build endless higher level abstractions ontop of each other in programming, this is just another one. I'm not bullish on AI actua

In a hypothetical total universe timeline of something like 100 trillion years, say till the degenerate era...we're not really very far in right. If we were near the end and had the same paradox I'd say you're probably right

Article aside, the interface shown top left in the control room pic looks quite polished. Couldn't make out what the program is called...was expecting a more win xp looking UI haha

Maximizing earnings (regardless ethical or not) just for the sake of redistribution based on an individuals choice seems dangerous to me. It feels like someone optimizing for "power"

This is anecdotal, so take it with a shovel of salt. I was in a very similar position. I decided to quit my job before having another. My main reason was I wanted to find something that will keep me happy for a long time. I felt it was less

Would you use the same argument for groups that justify racism, violence or even murder? No because they are obviously not justifyable. Yes, I agree at some point each person basically draws their own line in the sand when it comes to wrong

>farming is brutal hard work but it also does not require a high degree of thinking I disagree strongly. Most people I encounter in the agricultural industry are quite creative lateral thinkers. But yeah I guess they wouldn't think

As a lazy non-ML simpleton, is there a simple explanation for it's usage? Would tabular classification usually refer to say, extraction of tabular data in a picture to text? I tried googling and looking through the site but it wasn&#x2

Yes! I'd say avoid:. - industries that have serious consequences for errors, e.g. finance, health. - high volume client facing systems, e.g. high tps b2c (think large e-commerce). - companies not yet in a mature phase, e.g. 10 years or

I found having big doc store tables in Postgres became harder to manage as time went by from a people perspective. E.g. around the 300GB mark I had to constantly remind myself and others to be careful of it because it might have normal rela

Haha sounds like me. I used to read as a teenager but stopped, thinking it a waste of time. Only recently rediscovered my love for sci-fi after randomly picking up Isaac Asimov's foundation series on a whim while waiting for a flight a

Bare metal I'd think is the first choice for a large rdbms where you have skilled dedicated personnel that can manage it. If not rather use a specialist service like RDS for anything with serious uptime/throughput requirements. k8

I suppose where my assumption could be wrong is that consumer vs gov spending sort of cancel each other out, i.e. fluxuations in the two are quickly negated because they take place in the same overall "market" and eventually anywa

Not really. My intuition would be less tax just means different kinds of things purchased, not really a change in the total amount available in the pool... I'm not well learned about this stuff, but I don't see it being intuitive

My guess would be something like: - startups, small teams, no devops. - horizontally scalable monoliths. - no complex infra needs. Haven't used fly.io but strongly considering migrating over from Heroku and above is roughly what I woul

Over the years I've actually found duck typed code bases to end up, for lack of a better word, less of a mess than those based on typed languages. I feel like readable dynamically typed code is more easily "trained" onto youn

Good strategy. I would suggest not hooking it up to prod DB at the start. Rather script out something to restore prod DB backups nightly to a staging env. That way you can hookup non prod instances to it and keep testing as the other engine

There's a lot you can learn by yourself in this field as you've probably realized. But I find the best learnings for me have come from others. Mostly through observing their work and them observing mine. I think finding and surrou

I'd say start with industry sector or company size. Go directly to the company rather than a recruiter, a good ol email showing genuine interest goes a long way. E.g. be the first dev hire, or look for IT related work in Antarctica...h

As with most things depends on the code base, but if documentation in whatever form is available, I'd start there rather than just jumping into code. I'd start from the highest level abstraction of the code and work downwards unti

I have a similar game interest. Something based on internet sourced data, e.g. gpt-3 based npc dialogs, trained off current news or something else that's never ending... something like kenshi with the complex mechanics of dwarf fortres

I agree with "war rooms" not being as effective...but whiteboards, standups and deep dives personally can be helpful. I think the key thing for me is that I never force people to sit in on these. When an employee starts a large pi
