I've worked on 2 companies where I was in a team of 4/5 devs + 1 SRE in charge of the infra. In both cases, once the SRE guy created the appropriate terraform modules and CI template, he had to move on to a new team because there

Sure, they had a central plan in the 1800s but only to fit a part of the population that came to live there in the coming centuries. A lot of NYC expansion to support and grow the city was done through displacement[0] and bulldozing[1] of e

Yeah, GP has no idea what they are talking about. I lived with urban planners and architects for 20 years, read books about zoning, about the effects of urbanization on aquifers and rivers, about the differences between cities that grew org

Thanks for sharing your experience! I felt and still feel in a similar way. I don't think negatively of our condition though, it's part of life. I chose to look to change it because of how it impacted my relationship and because I

I searched for a specialist in the area that worked with mainly ADHD, Eating Disorders and so on. In my country, it's easy to find one if you are willing to pay out of pocket, you can also try insurance but the quality of processionals

Interesting! My doc also told me that everyone is different, and not all medicine works for everyone and most medicine doesn't work at all for some people. That's why I didn't put emphasis on medicine alone, but I do think it

A few blocks away from John Hopkins right? I find that city so bizarre, you have mansions, one of the top universities in the country, and a few blocks away it's pure ghetto. People go from being friendly to staring at you as if you ar

Sktime is the best toolkit for time series out there. It provides a sklesrn like API for many models and modules for validating, metrics for evaluating and all that sklearm jazz. Besides that, I also like statsmodels as the docs are pretty

I, for one, am glad it's not optimized for everyone. It's tough to find places with new exciting content that's adjacent to what I like, which HackerNews does exceedingly well. I also enjoy the moderation style, which weeds o

Exactly, but the goal of a two party system is that you can reliably blame the other party for any problems, even though in practice there's very little difference between both. It's a feature of the current system.

Another point is that crypto allows for easy transfer of money across borders. Say I want to hire a dev in Germany/Chile/Nigeria, I could go through the cumbersome and expensive process of wiring money, which incurs taxes on money

Infrastructure outside the city is normally paid by a combination of County Taxes and State Taxes, and roads are also financed by the Federal Gas Tax, tolls and other forms of government income. Of course we should pay for infrastructure ou

I prefer to use the approach "learn as you go". There's nothing to block someone from learning some basics, a library like Scikit Learn and then learn by doing examples. But if anyone wants to become an expert into ML/D

Many Data Science/Data Analyst jobs would love to have someone with your credentials. Also, if you self-teach how to code and create software, a math PhD can be a huge boost for certain specializations (i.e. Machine Learning Engineer)

Got it, but I think most democracies (for example US, Brazil, Argentina) have a line of succession either in their constitution or in the amendments that follow it. Whenever anyone takes the role of president next, they have full authority,

Why would it take months for a new president? In case of the death of a president, the vice-president gets automatically sworn into office as fast as possible and in fact becomes a president. Now if the vice president also dies, you have a

Agreed. I've been on companies that did the opposite from going small to big. They started big, very big, with Fortune 50 costumers. That meant they hired a small but very specialized sales team with the right connections very early on
