Agreed. It's a nice, succinct way of tying the natural language to the components of the formula. I don't know how well it would work in longer form content, but as a one-off or perhaps occasional technique, I think it works reall

I'm working on upgrading Pyalgoviz [1] to use Python 3 and run using Pyodide so it doesn't depend on the server. It's been kind of slow going since I'm unfamiliar with some of the technologies involved, but I am really l

Very nice! Does this tool have a state model that you can check the application state against? In other words, does it have property-based testing? Here[1] is a demo of what that looks like. I [1] https://medium.com/criteo

The argument seems very poorly reasoned to me. > First, he conflates the ability to generate human-like text with the ability to communicate. This is incorrect. In fact, lukev does the opposite. That is one of the fundamental parts of

I don't think you're alone in this. That seems to be about my limit as well. If one is focusing as hard as they possibly can on a complex problem, I think the limit is more like 25 hours a week. I have been wondering whether there

Do you have data for the comparison of profits from sales to service? I never get my vehicle serviced at a dealer. I don't know what percentage of people do, but that would play a big factor in this analysis.

I would recommend people use sites like allsides.com or ground.news to read from a wide variety of sources across the political spectrum. Any one site (even one edited by a variety of people) will have its own set of biases, so I find it b

I don't think there are only two alternatives: "bullshit" questions or Leetcode. For example, you can ask the interviewee to review code, design a system with them, or ask them to describe, in detail, the technical aspects

Nice list! I will have to read and think about it more, but I definitely agree with the spirit of it. You may like the book Atomic Habits. It has many suggestions that are similar to yours, although it approaches self-improvement from th

Not the parent comment, but I have had a devil of a time getting Bluetooth headphones to work with Ubuntu. By contrast, my experience with Android has been the same as yours -- basically flawless, and I love it.

I think that often, the best way to develop confidence is to engage in the activity about which you aren't feeling confident. I have found interviewing.io to be very helpful for this. Once you have some measure of success with a live
