> Moore's law ain't got nothing on NP-hard problems Fun fact, exponential growth is exactly what you need against NP-hard problems.
I agree to the overall tone, but there are also counter points. One of them is the Google example. To get promoted beyond a certain level, you must have brought some new product over the finish line. Result? They have…
Doesn't the leading anecdote give an example of a (dis)incentive that needs fixing? That it takes 10 months and lots of head-banging and then you get a $100 bonus, that would certainly disincentivise me to do any type…
If a fresh grad (phd or not) reaches that, then this title isn't worth much. No matter if he works insane hours like he mentioned or not. I'd rather say it's a counter-indication. A workplace that incentivises this…
Your observation is backed up by modern neuroscience. Effective multitasking is largely a myth. Obviously one can context switch, but every switch comes at a cost. That cost could be hidden by happiness boosts from not…
I'd disagree that really learning it and being proficient is any easier than other domains. People may have impression that it's easy to pick up since the number of 20 minute python tutorials vastly outnumbers 20 minute…
The irony of this response is that I didn't actually claim that you said any of those things. I commented on the book's content and the summary you gave. Thia reaction of yours is telling though. As well as how you…

I respect the part of diving in to build something on your own. I don't respect what he actually built. Leeching off others' work and while doing it blasting out ads which ended up being the first wave of making…

I hope you don't estimate the earnings from your investments that way. But +1 on f-string use.
Just because a fungus eventually breaks it down doesn't imply that it's "harmless". It can (and does) still accumulate in organisms and has many undesirable effects, including the human body. It can s easily end up in…
Thorough testing should catch all those "interestig" issues. But easier maintainability I also favor braces everywhere.
I've worried about not emailing! And I'm not even swimming.
You may be over-romanticizing the hunter-gatherer times. It wasnt all just a nice summer evening where people did a nice walk in the forest after chilling at the beach. Life was rough, often it was cold and rainy,…
> There's no need to "dumb down" anything ever, not even for children. This is so wrong that I can't imagine you actually meant it in the way that it quite obviously reads like. When my 3-year old just saw is favorite…
That won't work because many people here post anonymously. They have a throwaway account and make a new one now and then to leave no trace to their real identity. Leaving an email address would mean having to maintain a…
Oh that's great! Finally a way to server-side getting pwned right in the shell with the next imagemagick security hole!
