This is super common at that age and I totally feel you with the university friends thing. I lost touch with many of my uni friends and only have a more shallow friendship with other friends I made after that (maybe I'm a shitty friend

You do you. It's your life. I hate how people judge others' priorities. >If you have children or a significant other, think how much time you spend with them. Do you get burnt out from it? Side note, but, I see you've neve

I personally feel like I've just been smacked in the face with a dump truck full of syntax that I don't even barely understand, and I've used FP before. It probably actually is simple but for me, I need a bit more explanation

It's been ages since I've used a "real" functional language but wouldn't it be nice to parameterise externalities like time, and have events occur "spontaneously" that force application state to update? Ki

OT, but does anyone know how Yahoo managed to auto-play videos in Chrome without user interaction? I thought this had been blocked since years ago.

This is great. As someone who has had to parse GRIB data before, well.. I don't want to do it again :D

I'm at the end result of your situation now. I wish I'd gotten out from under it so much sooner . The death spiral really kicks off when you start losing efficiency (as you've described) and as a result there's always m

Common pitfall. It doesn't matter how interesting the company is if you're not actually working on the interesting stuff!

In real life, the news article is actually a PR release written entirely by a PR company and fed to some low-level staffer (because actual journalism is expensive and nobody can even tell that this is happening)

>As I see it now, even if the problems described in the article are real, the great majority of people don't care enough to make the effort required to change their habits. Then it's not solving any immediate problems for them.

A video of the encounter taken from a Russian vessel was on Reddit so there's that edit: here we are, found it https://www.reddit.com/r/CombatFootage/comments/o765q4/russi...

Has anyone run Graph NNs on normal NNs to figure out stuff like hyperparameter tuning or analysing which subnetworks are significant in pulling out features? So you can NN while you NN

There's also no link to the bloody thing anywhere! Great launch.

50/50? I think this first step is Google going "fuck you, we'll create our own curated news service and we'll pay a bunch of independent media on our own terms". But it's still probably just a matter of time

Intel WiFi specifically? What's the special bit that makes it work?

Respectfully - and I'm sure i'm just missing something - but I still don't actually understand what you do. The only thing I can see that makes you money is a subscription service to help people how make money on the Internet

Too distracted fighting the other, "wrong" half of the working class :-) Meanwhile the country is literally controlled by the companies in question.

Electron is the new Flash. Bloat and lag. Using it is understandable as a tactical choice when it's expensive to maintain separate native apps everywhere but man, Slack is a 25 billion dollar company - surely they can write some nati

Our development environments have been azure VMs for ages. Latency is not really an issue to be honest. I think ping is about 15ms which is much less than the lag in this article. Right now I'm using the horrible, 2012-era work laptop
