Okay, I will take the contrarian position. As I read this I kept waiting for the part where he somehow repays all the hospitality he has received, if not directly to those who gave it, then forward, somehow. Instead, all I got was new-age

You don't say what it means for you to have under-emphasized it, or what the consequences were, but my changes mostly consisted of changing the preamble of my resume to be clearer that I was willing to take dev jobs, though I was reall

I've been at the same company, and in the same team/dept for all that time. When I started I was in my early 40s with a family and had moved three times in the previous four years, and I was certainly ready to stay put if I liked

“Bridging the gap between PhD and SWE” would be a good subtitle for my career. I started out writing software for scientists, psychologists, first at a university, then a small company. After eight years of that I went to grad school and g

If the problem is, as I posit that it is, that universities cynically exploit cheap labor in the form of grad students and postdocs in order to keep indirect funds flowing into the universities' accounts', then many earnest effort

"This programme is not available in your country." (i.e. USA) Oh the irony. You'll have to make the argument yourself, I guess.

...and just like that, the reproducibility crisis is forgotten. Seriously, it's amazing how fast we can go from "man, scientific research sure is a mess, wtf are all these people doing anyway?" to "How dare you mess with

"git doesn't really work ... because docx is a binary blob." Well, yes, but the binary blob is a zip archive of a directory of text XML files, and one could imagine tooling that wraps the git interaction in an unzip/zip

If you only stay in hotels alone, it probables doesn’t matter that much to you. Quite apart from questions of dignity, when sharing a hotel room, there are practical conveniences: it’s nice to keep odors contained, and to be able to turn on

Wish they'd give a bulk delete interface that lets me choose which chats to keep and which to delete. (i.e. not "Delete All" scorched earth).

I, too, experience some synethesia with letters and numbers (two is green, three is yellow, 4 is blue), but when I look at a field of clover, I don't experience a field of numbers representing the number of leaves on the individual clo

Nim is indeed a different language, which was the point of my comment, for those who got past the first sentence. However, if folks are going to tout its “python-like” syntax as a selling point, it’s not really fair to then turn around and

Why do you think that the taste in your mouth is waste draining from your brain and not the result of some metabolic changes in your body from the fast? Ketosis is known to cause a metallic taste in the mouth, for example.

Nim has a python-like syntax, but I wish they'd gone farther, using `def` instead of `proc` and a `print` function instead of the `echo` statement. Though even if they did those things, I'm not sure it would really feel like prog

AI won't replace you ... if you are the Magnus Carlsen of your field. How you will get experience to grow into the Magnus Carlsen of your field is an open question, however.

If crossing the bridge you built is as dangerous as going into space, you've clearly done something wrong.

All you've done is take the description I provided and packed all the politics into the word "recover".

Agree. I have heard BlueSky described as a kind of self-made ghetto for the most terminally online, left-wing remnants of pre-Elon Twitter. If that's true then it suggests some shape to the distribution of possible dustups, but I spen

It's only a punishment if the bridge falls down. But if someone is making truck drivers drive heavy trucks out onto a bridge to "test" if it will stand up under the load it only seems fair to me that the engineers who design

Finally the use case for the "airship renaissance" I've been hearing about for the last 25 years. Seriously, some kind of VTOL craft that could deploy the blades directly to the site seems necessary. Then there's ground

I wasn't advocating for any particular system, just stating the way things are, now, on the ground. That said, I have my doubts about the true extent of the radicalization of "the youth", at least in the USA, given that the D
