I really liked this post, and I'm again saddened to see 'take downs' in the comments (not solely addressing you). The author said "prioritize" not to sacrifice profitability in order to learn. By prioritizing learni

Seriously, consider that the PARC people were working on perceptrons decades before they became truly feasible. There is almost always prior art to build on. The most valuable engineering skill I find is the ability to say "I've r

I have spoken with many bike store owners and employees, they know they can't compete with the prices you can get for parts and accessories from online retailers. But very few have an alternate plan. The ones I see who are being smart

Can't recommend it enough, I learned a lot from this tutorial. I hope to go back and add a lot more languages features.

Re-read the parent comment, you are in agreement.

Don't give up. I see FP growing every day. I saw a Haskell job listing yesterday for $180k/yrly. These skills are valuable and becoming more valued. I think the Xamarin purchase bodes well for F# which I have an intention of learn

Sprint is barely viable by itself though. I was hoping this would give Essential Phone a viable network but without the merger it feels DOA

America has a corruption problem. The ability for companies to vertically integrate and essentially make smaller businesses non-competitive can only occur when you don't have to pay the taxes your smaller competitors have to pay and do

No one has mentioned it thus far, but this could be huge for the Essential Phone, they are now on a real network.

The Remains of the Day seems thematically very similar to Tolstoy's The Death of Ivan Ilyich, yet I haven't from my brief googling seen any comparisons. Has anyone read both and can offer a comparison? I think I would like to read

That seems like a curious hire to make.

I saw a related clip by him recently and it was deeply enlightening. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2qK0ISnnVE

I suspect he didn't grow up. Dropped out of high school at 16, knew he was smart, never had any humbling experiences, etc, etc. Not at all to excuse his god awful behaviour.

A major rule in parenting is to praise effort and hard work which strengthens the 'internal locus of control' as opposed to seeing some positive action and then commenting on how smart they are. People view 'smarts' as s

I like Dinosaur Dance a lot as well for my 17 month old but I found the writing in the rest of the books bland or a bit annoying. The illustrations are all cute.

Good luck, start exercising if you are not.

whoops, hahaha, meant "Cradle to Cradle" here.

This article raises so much unfounded FUD it's hard to believe the author is serious. 1. Uncertain Roadmap - Does anyone seriously doubt FB's commitment to RN? When they themselves dogfood it? Or is it more likely they are just to
