Yea I thought it was a new kind of jab.

I've been asked during an interview whether I like jigsaw puzzles. I told them no because it can feel monotonous. Well, I ended up getting the job and it definitely felt like that at times. But, there were also moments where finding th

This is definitely not an apples to apples comparison. Integer division is something everybody is expected to learn. Also we don't teach imaginary numbers to middle schoolers as soon as they learn about square roots. To some extent we

>dx is a differential one-form. You can think of it as a generalisation of a gradient, if you like. These are very important in Differential Geometry. This really doesn't help beginners. At all. There are formal contexts where we ca

Briefly, the way you make sense of this is by being consistent with notation and being aware of definitions. f is a function. f(x) is not a function. f(x) is an element of the range. Unfortunately, I'm sure growing up your teachers pro

I think this depends on where the advice is coming from. Is it a peer? Is it a manager?

I'm pretty sure that making arguments under idealistic assumption often allows us to make progress. Yea certain methods can seem problematic and I definitely have worried about this before. But I'm pretty sure there's evidenc

>All it takes is to talk to hundreds of candidates for various roles and see how inconsistent the candidates quality is and tie it back to employment history. Oh good idea. I'll make sure to never hire "former recruiters"

Pessimistic take: people don't want to deal with deviation and "complexity." A resume gap makes people ask questions, which is way too much effort.

Getting Excel to interact directly with MySQL is ugly. Querying freezes up Excel because it's single threaded? I don't know how to overcome that problem. Also I wish there was a spreadsheet software that was more closely connected

I was involved in math education for a few years. Asking "why" questions to students can often lead you nowhere. There's a tendency to believe that mathematical reasoning is obvious and that successful math education just req

Do I respond to nitpicking with my own nitpicking? The language of the parent post implies a lack of necessity (due to having success through other means). Well, this is fun.

This article has a section titled "how to get a job." The author then mentions straight away that he has never had to apply for a job in the traditional way. Following this, he questions his own success and implies that there may

I work at a small finance firm where the projects were ran by one or two people for probably a decade. They didn't rely on databases, or any programming, up until 6 years ago or so and spreadsheets were how they got work done. So when

Here's a relevant experience. I applied for a job a few days ago. The recruiter reached out to me through email to schedule a phone call and I scheduled a time through her online calendar. To give you some more context in terms of timi

So I'm assuming that your comment is in reference to me casting doubt on the usefulness of automation in meetings, emails, and other forms of communication. The point is that there's plenty of high level, technical, and nuanced co

If we started having chatgpt respond to emails in my current job, I would bet that we'd lose all of our clients. I can't imagine automated communication in the context of personalized and nuanced interactions, especially when mone

How will python help him with meetings and emails? This doesn't sound like a technology problem. Not only that, but he's already working crazy hours. And you're suggesting that he spend more time on work? He's asking for

This thread is truly bizarre. A 352 pound bench at 180 pounds is bordering on being an elite lift. I would wager that it's unattainable for most guys, even if they worked at it and did everything right (in terms of training, nutrition,

The post that I responded to reads: "You are allowed to do anything, until the law forbids it or stuff is regulated in a certain way. Looking at it from this point of view, the world immediately opens up for you." You're spea

I'm sure there are innocuous ways of implementing this advice, but I think it also leads to a lot of degeneracy. I understand many people prioritize success and that this is probably a common part of business. But that doesn't mak
