What's a better alternative to Jira? I've tried Trello and Asana. Trello is nice for personal stuff and small projects but it doesn't work well for bigger projects and teams. Asana has an infuriatingly unintuitive interface b

This is the case for most non-fiction life/business advice books that come out these days. Many of them actually start out as articles/talks. The author then gets contacted by a publisher who proposes to stretch things out into a

Do we care about maximising profit? If yes, I would focus on providing the model's results or access to the model to other companies. It's equivalent to selling shovels in the gold rush of ML. That's provided that I would be

Good dark themes are generally softer than this. This is way too dark. Also, the identicons (default avatars) look out of place in dark mode.

Big bets and promises for the future was all they had. Trying to be a solid profitable business in a dying industry isn't going to work out well for them.

I save them in my browser, I really don't get the need for 3rd party apps, text search, paid services or huge systems that contain 1000s of bookmarks. What are you guys saving that's so important to you?

Yes, I wanted to try Rust for this year's Advent of Code and I gave up before I figured out how to read the input file.

I think that you're being to generous to the author. Your examples are true but a job interview doesn't ask you to refamiliazire yourself with a codebase or a tech stack, it asks whether you're familiar with algorithms, data

Take that thought a few steps further. Maybe a very small number of people in developed countries are happy to not have children and also claim they're doing it for environmental reasons. How do you scale this to the developing countri

The parameters matter a lot though. With social distancing/mask wearing there is a very measurable risk that's immediate to you and the people around you. With climate change your actions make a tiny tiny impact that's spread

Expecting people to make changes in their behaviour does absolutely nothing apart from making a tiny minority of people feel superior for their choices. It simply doesn't scale well to the entire population. You need systemic changes a

(Super naive layman question, I don't work in this space.) What does this mean? I thought that Kubernetes manages Docker containers which makes the title kind of confusing.

You're confusing meat substitutes (plant ingredients made to resemble meat in look and taste) like Beyond Meat, and lab-grown meat (which is live muscle tissue that has been grown in a lab instead of on the body of an animal).

I get being sceptical. But "a different food technology turned out to be harmful so this one must be the same" - that's a bad argument.

It's considerably more difficult than Python, people just get misled by the similar syntax. The advanced features that you're mentioning aren't optional in Julia, especially if you care about performance.

This seems like a stretch, or it seems very limited to the specific people mentioned in the article. I find it hard to believe that scientists who have specialised very narrowly in their domain will also want to be full-time software engine

Maybe you responded to my comment by mistake. I never claimed that it's rushed - I asked for evidence of it being rushed since that's what the original poster is concerned about.
