Haven't read deepness. Is it similar to Fire? Read Fire and rainbows end and I think Vinge has the largest 'interesting ideas per chapter' ratio, but not too keen on the presentation (too much random weirdness).

How do you define 'regularly' on a global scale?

Read most of Tolkien's books as audiobooks and this is certainly an area where audio is a much worse medium than paper. You just don't get any bells ringing from the looks of words.

Not solid research but I set up an account with a single scrappy black/white picture of a photo of a woman from the 1940s. Her profile drew an order of magnitude more attention than what I normally get.

Dreams are just stories. Through the lense of the audience they undergo the same critical scrutiny as any other story. It's not good enough to put a stamp 'dream' on a story that doesn't make sense and think the audience

Sounds like you live in a privileged environment. Vast majority of people have never owned any property, nor anything else of real value actually. It's perfectly ok to not own.

Note how I wrote large "enough" for the sake of argument, i.e. this could theoretically be a team of 1000's of people and a budget of many billions. Money can't buy everything, but for an ascent of Everest it can buy a l

The problem is not Everest but the people who don't know anything about climbing. Anyone (pretty much) can get up that mountain if they have a large enough convoy of people carrying everything the "climber" needs. Climbing is

Yes, I get sad when I read most comments here. The way people have been indoctrinated with car-culture is just astounding. E scooters are like a drop in the ocean compared to the damage caused by cars: the space they occupy, the pollution t

You're right I stand corrected. I'm mainly following these things on YouTube and there the Russian state point of view is actively suppressed. Ironically I've become more pro-Ukraine the more I've learnt about the Russia

As a former resident in Russia I'm shocked at how all state controlled media from Russia has been completely censored in the west. I understand why it's done (bcs it breeds conspiracies etc) but it's not for free because now

> No I'm not building that at all My guess is most devs learn this the hard way. You are liable for bugs in code you write, regardless of project quality and how much you complain to management about it. Apart from the examples you

Exactly. I get why people like to compare things like NN's and trees because it's a good way to learn. But it doesn't take too much understanding to see that they both have strengths/weaknesses and are suitable for diffe

I use word with embedded latex and I'd say it's almost as fast to write once you get the tweaks and hot keys going (eg. learn to never use the horrible "equation editor"). You make up in overall speed by readibility. Wr

Same. I'm a PhD student in CS and manage just fine with embedded latex in word documents and a reference plugin (I use zotero). There's definitely pros/cons. Imo biggest con is the absence of something like overleaf and bigge

What about playing a game about learning to code instead of writing a game? I spent a few days on codecombat.com as a beginner and thought it was both a great learning experience and an entertaining game.

Really hope this is true because it probably reduces risk of more violence. If Putin was convinced to carry out the operation because some war hawks said it would be a cake walk, they will now be out of favor and the more sober and calculat

What do you think about people who lived 1000 years ago? Do you care about the pollution and deforestation around some mining areas in use during their time? Probably not. These issues, although serious, get swallowed by the progress of civ

This reminds me of self-play AI: one of the concepts behind the huge advances in AI performance in games like go and chess. You start with 2 agents that are initially braindead, then record game(s) and then set the agent which lost to train

Urban residential areas with houses with few people are the worst imo. They require a huge amount of infrastructure like paved roads. It might be ok to live like that if you have young kids. If you don't, while living like that, you ar

For me the salvation currently lies in 3. Whenever I suffer from loss of motivation I think about what I actually want to code, and usually there is something. Dig deep in memory and ask why you choose to become a dev. For me it was the tin

They tell a story of the quality of the software. A good way to decide whether to use some library is to look at how well it throws exceptions. If it's buggy and poorly documented then don't use it.

How do you define "low status"? Is elderly care "low status" according to your definition? It's not according to mine. I consider myself a proud member of a "normal status profession" where my skills can b

I think one also has to be a little bit "crazy"/"idealistic" as a person to be a real entrepreneur. As a realist (coder) in a tiny startup I know I could never run it like my CEO. He may not be the smartest guy but
