The first paragraph reads to me, clearly, as what he is trying to convey, and the latter was simple enough for me to break down into what the previous commenter suggested. In any case, I just said I know him personally and he does take a co

I feel obliged to say that this isn't true of Ed at all. He does a lot more "real journalism" than most of the journalists I've interacted, and grills the people he's interviewing on technical details more than anyo

Others have pointed out a few "real" tech companies, but the economy is also surprisingly large. There are a ton of little data science jobs available on the market, though they're mostly on initiatives that will never plausi

Tecto AI is my favourite, as it forms the "AI for AI" ouroboros. Outrove also sounds confusing, because doesn't Salesforce already purport to have their own native AI features? And when I look them up, it seems they're j

From my own time in psychology, the thrust of the book might be good, but that specific point about Protestant work ethic sounds exactly like all the other "just so" studies that didn't replicate. But lots of otherwise good b

I am 99.99% sure that less than 20% of Australian graduates could do this, and honestly I wouldn't be surprised to hear that the actual answer is <1%. I was studying at Monash, which is considered a solid university here, and holy m

I've interacted with a lot of reasonably randomly selected companies after starting a consultancy last year, and honestly yes, 80% of software developers are incompetent. It's honestly a stretch to say they're software develo

I've only given talks to small audiences but they were very well-received. I often focus on humour, partially because I don't really have the background to deep-dive technical material hard enough for that to be interesting in-and

Yeah. I'm from Malaysia, and while we definitely benefited in many ways, to state that we do not still have massive and pervasive social issues as a result of colonization is insane. I'm glad you posted the link above and spoke up

I think they've been fully converged in most strong practitioners for a long time. There's a specific type of "data engineer" (quotes to indicate this is what they're called by the business, not to contest their leg

Everything Comeau puts out is so goddamn good. I paid for his CSS course a year ago and the effort that went into the pedagogy is just spectacular.

Putting aside all of the discussion on whether IQ is a valid construct, IQ tests are designed for humans and make a lot of assumptions in this direction. Having a computer score well on them is better than the computer scoring poorly, but p

Companies don't like recruiters either, and they're the ones willing to pay me!

I took a run at recruiting recently and it's so easy to outperform recruiters that it's honestly depressing. Just replying to emails at the times I promised made candidates self-report that I'm the best recruiter they've

One of my favourite musicians of all times. All I can say is that I can't wait to introduce my children to his work one day.

It's not so bad in Elixir for various reasons. Firstly, they're doing some work on set-theoretic types. https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/main/gradual-set-theoretic-types.h... There's also tooling like dial

Even people inside Salesforce don't know where this number is coming from. I asked some of my blog readers to give me insider intel on this and I only received information that there's no evidence to be seen despite multiple staff

I was agreeing with this, gave it a bit of a think, then it occurred to me that surely cigarettes and the technical discoveries used to facilitate gambling addiction qualify as technology. (But I broadly agree.)

That's fair, but I'm talking about the complete certainty that it won't reduce the demand for labor! It's the opposite of the fallacy you've highlighted being committed by posturing leaders. I incidentally get the i

I was joking but maybe I really should do this. I'm lacking a lot of Linux fundamentals, let alone NixOS fundamentals, but I also love my setup so much. Here's the commit that made my wallpaper an animated hobbit house! https:&#x

I actually have most of this. The blog defaults to the user's system font, I think, and it has an RSS feed + very little JS (maybe none, depends on how hosted Mataroa works), etc. Unfortunately I don't self-host my email, so I mus

It's good advice. I have met people who talk like the post mentions, but the reality is that they just spend way too much time on Instagram and TikTok. Not like me, I'm on Hackernews , and would never integrate stupid stuff int

Yep, I even wrote in to Crawford to let him know how hard it slapped. I watched the whole thing with my brother and I'll treasure the experience forever, haha.

I've been reading Crawford for quite a few years now, and got into DS9 at his recommendation. I had to skip the last paragraph because I haven't finished his latest game, but I've quietly admired his weirdness and dedication

McKenzie's advice has worked for me every single time. I've managed 10% to 20% at every job since graduating (sometimes with leadership bending a lot of rules for it). This was before I started writing my blog. There are jobs wher

Man, I had almost forgotten how much fun it was to read about ML projects of the variety I studied in university, before all the discourse shifted to plain English prompts. I know of some government entities in Australia doing similar work,

It isn't bad financially, but I make much less money than I did two years ago. If I had taken any of the jobs I was offered, I think it would have been a 30K to 100K raise. Also the number is slowly going up, and unlike a day job, no o

Now I am the one that provides the shitty jobs! Back to work, peasants! And don't let me ever catch you not maximizing Jira velocity, or time with your family is being moved to the backlog!
