Exactly. Buy local. Support the local economy and blend in.

Ha. I love Karamazov. To me, it boils down to a love affair/triangle and case of mistaken identity and ultimate justice. But in true Russian lit fashion, you must pass through the absurd with a detour through morality and human nature.

We live in an ecosystem where we (engineers/developers) can promote ourselves and display our skills/acumen/values/professionalism/responsibility in an unequivocal way. Regardless of your experience level. I bootstr

It's possible to work for an employer, and not have to compromise your values and or professional integrity. The attitude suggested by your response suggests you haven't lived that reality yet. Either way, I'd rather be rejec

Intelligence, which I assume to be a synonym for "smart" requires the capacity to acquire and apply knowledge from experience. These models do not have any experience. They're not sentient. And are in no way capable of being

When I hear about engineers who are bored with coding, I have to imagine it's because the task of "programming logical work flows" has become rote to them. Instead of refining their approach, or challenging their current know

Was there ever a time when any of the classical/fine arts were used as propaganda or promotional material, prior to the medium elevating to loftier aims? Is this history repeating itself? The idea that content creators could be conside

It would be interesting... My intention for using that specific language was less with the implied language of introvert/extrovert, and was more intended to point out how simply going to an office is not enough to qualify as "soci

Part of the study specifies remote workers living alone. So it appears the focus of the study excludes those fortunate enough to have family or housemates. But I do agree that the claim being made is the false dichotomy you point out

Then adjust the specs with the scope and feedback. I fail to see the argument you're making... Features aren't made in a vacuum. If specs are made/written....with the information available now...then it's better than not

All things being equal, if a person works remotely, apparently they're more likely to trend reclusive. At the same time, a person working in an office has the illusion of social activity. Just because a person works in an office doesn&

But that repurposing/removal is exactly what's avoided if you follow through with the SEF framework he outlines. I have to push back on the idea that token costs balloon when using TDD within the context of a strong framework such

I'm surprised this isn't receiving more attention. I realize supply chain attacks are all the rage now-a-days, but this is the first time I've seen this ecosystem come under attack. Looking forward to the additional context t

I really like the anonymous angle. Suspending the unspoken reality of bias and profiling by employers, the point of job postings is to fill a skill void, I think. The idea of embellishing the recommendations seems like it would require some

Well I guess we have a possible reason why LI is still relevant. This suggest then that the relevance of any solution would need to appease the employers... yet here we are trying to build/design something for employees first.

My first answer was disingenuous, so here's another interpretation. I didn't see a definition in the article, however I was reading Edgar Payne's Compostion of Outdoor Painting after reading your comment, and I was surprised

It's tough to generate revenue that isn't through ads. That said, if the users could organize into special interest groups and create a walled-garden with default no ads, and then gate-keep advertisers to a permitted white-list. I

It's odd, yeah? We have the ability to vibe these things over a weekend, yet getting to the critical mass/tipping point of adoption is something else. Whatever happened to: if you build it, they will come?

No. Here's one interpretation though, for the discourse: When given a task, some artists focused less on the objective and more on the process of observation. Observation of what, would be a logical next question. And I have to imagine

Yeah, I think the actual "invention" I originally attributed to the author of the blog post should be attributed to the YouTuber. But if this version of meditation is helpful for the YouTuber and/or the blogger, then fantasti

As someone who's maintained a meditation practice since 2013, this is definitely meditation. And by "maintain a practice", I mean it's more like something I return to with frequency and less a daily compulsion. Focusing

Impressive. Thanks for the share. I was thinking about this recently: The difference between systemic (systematic) learning and opportunistic learning. AI enables opportunistic learning, or Just-in-time (JIT) learning. It give the impressio

Yeah this is an interesting relationship between interconnected concepts: principles, beliefs and convictions. I agree with your assertion regarding the degree to which a principle guides behavior. And id probably walk back my original posi

Hmm, maybe. Though my initial reaction is the response isn't "emotional". An LLM isn't capable of emotion. Sure it's capable of assessing a quantitative score of sentiment to words/phrases...though that's

Hmm, I'd argue what you call "compartmentalize their principles" is in fact, NOT having principles. Correct me if I'm wrong: I'm asserting that having a principle is an inalienable belief that actually guides behavi

Maybe; I've been very content with the results I achieve while responding to interview style pre-planning, refinement of plans and implementation. If anything, it's been fantastic to have an "interlocutor" that is vastly
