This right here is a perfect example of why this position is gatekeeped so much. Having a PhD doesn’t automatically mean you think like a scientist of a mathematician, and having a bachelor’s degree and 15 years of experience writing code a

I recently quit a gig and spent a few months looking for a data science/machine learning gig. I was surprised just how gatekeeped these positions were. Everyone wanted a PhD or a masters degree. I have 15 years of experience in softwar

Most hot-stuffed pull-up leathers are water resistant because of the incredible amount of waxes and oils added. Pull-up leather is often used in boots and duffels for that reason. Veg tan leathers can be made water resistent with Resolene o

I am happy to hear that you had a chance to attend a new school with accepting and empathetic people. You know, after Parmadale something similar happened with me. I ended up moving in with my Dad in Indiana and attended a new community hig

I'm sorry to hear of your loved one who is struggling. I hope they are able to find some peace and a way to live a happy and fulfilling life. I would be happy to answer any questions you have but your email doesn't show up for me

Well, I have had a policy of hiding and denying it for awhile because I fear professional reprisal or being treated differently. There are very few people in my circle of friends (and even relatives) that know I'm autistic, again becau

I think it's less about the notation, and more about thinking around computational complexity. You should know when to use a set vs a hash vs a list vs an array. You should know what different sorting algorithms do, and why you might u

Like, is everyone ignoring the picture at the top of the article? That looks like a pretty believable direct translation of the ligatures to me. I know its not the whole thing, but it is plausibly consistent. That image is titled p16_Gibbs1

Clever. I love to see when complex problems can be easily approximated using existing algorithms and techniques. Very cool!

Isn't there a constant time implementation using the Golden Mean? What is the advantage of these algorithms over the constant time one? (i.e. Binet's formula)

If you're doing any sort of software development requiring cameras GoPro is definitely NOT the way to go. We use Point Grey for our camera equipment. Not only are the cameras very high quality, but their API is a developer's dream

I don't understand the mentality where if anyone dares shares their opinion about a former place of employment that has anything remotely negative about the place, that it is looked upon as poor form. It's ridiculous and takes awa

Yep. I was blacklisted from several tech events, for writing a mildly negative Facebook post about a local consulting company. This is becoming a real problem. Companies in the tech space are using blacklisting to silence any kind criticism

Minor correction: I am a partner in the contracting firm. The contract was cancelled by Pillar as a 1099. I'm still a partner in the contracting firm but will be leaving in a couple of weeks when we shut it down for obvious reasons.

Your attempt at character assassination is an out of context joke about my CPAP machine? Seriously? Wow.

Wow. Haha. No. That's not at all related. If people buy drugs online, I thought it was best to advise them to test them first. Harm reduction and all that. A lot of people die from bad mixed up shit, and if they knew there was a way to

Against my better judgement, I feel it necessary to reply to this. I tried very hard to end things on a positive note with Pillar. I called Don repeatedly trying to connect with him, I called Jim repeatedly trying to connect with him, and I

I agree. It muddles the message. I've updated the article and removed that image. It was intended as a sort of defiance against their Cease and Desist however, it was indeed, in bad taste.

At 40 hours a week, 52 weeks a year, with 120 employees, that turns out to just over $87,000 dollars. The fired 120 employees over $87k. Shameful.

Get a sleep study. Using a CPAP is life changing. It's not nearly as uncomfortable as people make it out to be. It's slightly annoying when you're trying to fall asleep, but when you go to sleep you stay asleep and when you w

I was diagnosed with moderate-severe OSA last week. This Tuesday I picked up my CPAP. I've used it for two days. I will never sleep without it again. The difference is day and night. I honestly feel like I just snorted two lines of coc
