Hey that really makes sense to me now! I think for me the curiosity aspect balanced out what you're talking about. Instead of looking for a good match right away, I would scan for anything interesting or serious red flags and then star

I have heard this bothers many people, but I never saw the problem. I always thought about it in terms of putting your best foot forward and expecting most others to do the same. Once you get to know someone then it's a better time to

> Detecting copyright violation would need some sort of license info side channel so your TV knew what subscriptions, what digital copies, what BluRays, etc, you owned. An anti-piracy scheme that respected legitimate use would need this.

Those two examples followed real world disasters, with two wars and major social changes playing important roles. These stablecoins appear to be much more fragile.

What I think is even more different is that someone with the 486 in 2000 was used to the idea that they wouldn't be able to run some software, but unable to run a website? Unheard of, it's just broken.

The only thing mastery schooling taught me was empathy for people whose learning style doesn't fit the style used in a classroom. It's hard to understand the the connections between and motivations for concepts when you are learni

What's weird is some of these communities aren't even wrong, a lot of people do have parents with personality problems or whatever, it's just their nature to go off the rails and have unpleasant real world effects.

That was the point of my post, they aren't covering the proceedings minute by minute. They sum it up occasionally. There's a lot going on in the world, not everything can be covered urgently in a general interest publication. They

I agree, coverage of the Assange case is more sporadic now but a quick search of the NYT website shows they wrote about this indictment June 12th. It's no secret. If there's something to this new claim it may be in their next arti

I'm making the case against making code reviews optional by relating my experience that there's a significant benefit to someone taking a quick glance when they don't have the time/inclination to do a thorough review. I&

I'm happy this works for them but I find so much value, even in a two person early stage team, of having someone take even the quickest of glances at your code. It's a very direct form of communication and also stops a lot of chao

Funny enough I thought the whole idea of public communication areas might be washed away by a constant deluge of spam of the old "Vi4g|2a" sort.

It's wonderful what you can gain in performance, correctness, and storage efficiency from finding the real primary key from the data model itself. Maybe not worth the intensive design work for many tables, and it can be a risk to get i

The coordination problems in creating a system designed from the beginning to be human in the loop is a challenge. There are a lot of great ML algorithms, even if you limit yourself to 10-20 year old ones, that aren't leveraged anywher

I think in the Rails mailer context you're expecting "render a view" to be a comfort zone for the reader, the line is suggesting a mental model you hopefully already have that will really help you understand how the upcoming

Some of the online CS master's programs allow you to take in person classes if you want, so when work is busy you can make progress online and you can pick the in person classes that really interest you. The program you're talking

Over the last 50 years there have been a few cycles between thin and thick clients (in different contexts) so hopefully it's not all one direction from here.

You could probably ask an undergraduate or pop science fan to write a paper title and first sentence of an abstract that would turn heads and get good results. Faking an entire 10 page paper with figures and citations is much harder. I&#x27

Perhaps they don't but I'm not as focused on the relationship between the company and jurisdiction, I'm talking about the externalities. Desperate places give away the store to get anything at all, and it depresses what compa

One thing to think about, it terms of deep experience, is that in a product role you'll often only be using part of a stack. If, for instance, you are making a CMS you won't touch the numerical parts of the language. In consulting

The algorithm can exist, but to run it at scale requires buildings and large teams and bank accounts and therefore the companies that use these algorithms are susceptible to regulation. Otherwise it seems like an enormous waste of talent an
