We seem to have gone full circle somehow. It is ironic that in its intent to ensure employers hire based on merit, academic or physically qualified abilities so that people could obtain those jobs without being discriminated against - we ha

Depends on the content I'm looking at and if there is a lot of terminology that I'm unfamiliar with. If I find that I am pausing quite often to take notes then I just slow it down to 1.5x.

I've had to use some browser extensions for 3-4x speeds. Anything that is HTML5 enabled video will be supported by it. Unfortunately I don't have a solution for anything on the phone :/ The one I use for desktop is https:&#x

Another method I have used in the past is to rewatch content I used to learn a subject at 3-4x speed. A lot of high quality content that spans multiple days can be viewed in only a few hours this way. The key I’ve learned with this is to do

I think a lot of it comes from the fact that he realizes there is a demand for kernel maintainers in the future and the C expertise isn't there as well. If you can get maintainers to come in that are Rust devs then they can work on thi

Privacy is inherently also a security problem - the more identifying information a company has on me, the more vulnerable I am to being targeted (well intention or not). In a world where data breaches are pretty frequent, I'd say less

This anti-racist non-sense is some of the most actually racist policies I've seen put forth in decades. If this is the singular means by which they decided who to fire - they are being explicitly discriminatory and should be sued.

Flash back to 1998 when Sergey Brin and Lawrence Page when they said an ad-supported model will never be able to rank quality content. Seems like they almost realize it > "Currently, the predominant business model for commercial sea

The entire revenue model for Google is not incentivized to rank quality content and what you are looking for. Low quality content is filled with ads. As an alternative to this, I've been using Kagi ( https://kagi.com/ )

Selfish plug here, I started a YouTube channel dedicated to working through Rust as I wanted to get better at it in general. Feel free to check it out for those interested. https://www.youtube.com/c/nyxtom/

Be very clear in written form that you do not want to resign from your position and would prefer to relocate in January 2023 as that is the best time for you and your family. If they reply back that this is not possible then ask HR about se

Highly depends on where you work. In my company we stick with "use boring stuff" and have a limited amount of "innovation spending". I look at the complexity of these other things mostly as a computer science theory and

Yea this seems like a significant amount of unnecessary risk for an asset that is unlikely to get better. I wonder how much of a recession/downturn would trigger a margin call for that amount.

That is a serious amount of debt financing and going into margin. This is significant risk for an asset that is unlikely to get significantly better in value. I wonder how much a collapse in Tesla stock would trigger a margin call.

I mean we don't really own our hardware anyway so I guess what's the difference at this point. We have no right to repair so might as well just reframe that problem entirely.

The long term solution is to get away from "top 10 results". All this has done is provide a stream of effectively the exact same thing being said just across different platforms. It doesn't provide people with perspective, it
