I thought everything in physics was going great, all of our theories are extremely well-tested and there are absolutely no anomalies, inconsistencies, paradoxes, singularities, or unexplained parameters. A crisis? My…
Brilliant! This is fantastic. I'm in love with it already :)
Here's Michael Bay having a panic attack: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeClZfVwOk4 Note that aside from some minor body language cues, there aren't a lot of outward signs of panic. How it looks and how it feels are…
> do you want slow programmers, slow compilers and bloated binaries, or slow execution times? Why choose? With generics we can have all three!
Fundamentally, orbital mechanics still relies on the same old action-at-a-distance that plagued Newton. You can look under the hood of any software that simulates orbits and see that this is the case. No time delay is…
> Why didn’t God just make the universe classical and be done with it? He did. Physicists just never managed to properly grapple with the concept that classical mechanics involves action-at-a-distance.
The H1-B program prevents the tech industry from developing its own domestic supply of skilled engineers by shutting out domestic applicants for entry level positions. Remove H1-B's from the equation and the labor…
Good point. Why hire an American at all, for anything, ever, if you can just hire someone for less money in China or India? According to economics, America can't even exist! Impressive.
All I'm hearing are good reasons to support unions.
Nooooo you've got it all wrong! Depressing the labor market for software engineers isn't just for the benefit of billionaire tech oligarchs, it's good for America! Don't you know there's a SHORTAGE of tech talent?? How…
Exactly this. I would have loved to go for a physics PhD but everything I read about academia in the US strongly discouraged me from pursuing it. I went into tech instead. The academic system in the US is incredibly…
I'm planning to use this to validate parts of a new cryptocurrency I'm working on.
Adopt an aggressive posture. Maintain eye contact and repeatedly say "amortized complexity".
