in that regard it’s mostly in the first few paragraphs but it’s subtley stated... If you have a model and somecparameter space on it your trying to optimise then you can’t do much other than search the whole parameter space or approximate s

Resourceful parents and/or luck. Example of the latter: Plenty of noobs joined the dev scene in London at its most under supplied. They suck at what they do for 70k/y and drop off like flies, the survivors, but a few years later,

I like this in principal. I’m pretty damn predictable at the command line and far too lazy to make shortcuts.

Very unlikely because universities would miss out on charging you years of fees. The meritocratic thing to do would be to have national standardised exams for every level of education : but no one has that.

I’d say that SaaS just is a lot harder than we often expect and that more than 50% of the effort is not product related. It’s like building a car that has amazing peripherals but no engine each time and wondering why it doesn’t go. Unfortun

That’s interesting and surprising . What does a freelance opportunity look like in your field ? Ie how does any given gig come about?

IMO , focus on the project based books. I think this next decade will only see more self educated and meritocratically qualified folks who actively seek out accessible material akin in approach to how they learnt to programme. IMO, focus on

Inflation is the killer. If you’re saving without buying assets; you’re doing it wrong. If gov hit it’s target of 2% inflations for the next 30 years, you’d need $1.8 for every dollar today for purchasing parity.

This is cool to see. check out pgstrom for Postgres I’d you haven’t heard about it. Especially if you’re curious about perf gains with a gpu in like for like comparisons. One peeve, not loving the idea of having to use AQL and not having a

I like your observation. I think it’s true in part because indi makers move in to collect the low hanging fruit. Once that’s done, the remainder of the fruit is less low hanging; forcing you to either to reach higher or seek other trees.

Out of interest: Has anyone made anything non-trivial in an FP style in C++ ? If so, what frameworks did you use? What would you recommend? Have you tried easyLambda, or used it in production? Also, is a dynamic data structure library you&#

Surely just use reader mode on your browser? Then you don’t need to worry about banners...

Perhaps it’s more like ”Who framed Roger Rabbit”? Always suspected that Agatha was a bit simplistic. Maybe the real bad guy always gets away!

Bit of a Agatha Christie style who dun it. Fixed number of people it could be ... and it turns out to be the ex employee ... who would have thought.

It’s impressive... your dedication to the art, and your resilience. Sincerely hope you make it. Had this discussion with an artist recently . He said to me that he’s not interested in a plan B, nor my thoughts about how to hedge the obvious

Similar experience here ... it took no time to learn c++ because it’s not the pre C11 language. You can make whole applications without touching memory management with RAII patterns; and C++ APIs are usually not the Java OOP monstrosities e

Out of interest, does learning linear algebra in this way give you a deeper sense of linear algebra? Do you think you think you are able to formulate other problems more effectively in terms of LA as a result?

Yes it is. You can use job market pricing to work out demand surplus to make yourself feel confident you’re investing in something worthwhile . Email in profile if you want to know more.
