Which is why the same employers will later complain about the lack of suitable candidates.

Is the pool running dry or are they simply not putting enough water in or allowing enough people through the gate? I've seen the job ads. Must have five years. Must have x, y, z. For a junior position. Unrealistic. Same person can get

Right now I'm playing with simulated weather systems using an automata for each grid location at an effective resolution of a square km. I'm getting predictive real-world accuracy within around 10 degrees C with a range of 2 days.

I know, right? But together we can still dream.

How does such a simulation work? Eg how do hou predict the temperature at x,y? Is it ground type, water, sand?Altitude? Neighboring values thereof? What are the inputs? Do you give it a starting point and apply it to a bunch of elements lik

This would be great on iOS but I sense it would be blocked by Apple. Ipad/iphone versions would be an excellent addition.

Sri Lanka seems to be having a lot of problems lately. Is it really just policy or those that make or enforce them?

I'd connect it to social media and have it write comments on random posts. For fun perhaps it would reply mostly about AGI topics but also general mathematical topics as well. This would be a simple way of exercising its ability to syn

Sounds like you forgot why you started AND/OR haven't broken the next step into something small enough you can continue/resume. That sense of why clarifies the drive to move forwards. What's blocking the next step? Too b

So we learn the real answer is 256^1024 according to a limited concept of combinations. Its not so good when a mathematician makes such a rudimentary mistake using high school or secondary school mathematics but that's another conversa

Seems sane. Its not like its a SMS / phone required situation is it? Unlike some others...

Don's editor is excellent and I've used it for all my modding work. Great tool. Thanks.

Played with lua as a kernel module.

I'll leave it there. I respectfully agree to disagree. What to you looks like a strawman is for us a signpost towards identifying a module that needs linting and code review. Code that cannot handle that typedef change? Yeah it needs r

Sounds like: We've always done it this way. Often rephrased as: Its not possible to write a script to fix this. We can't have automated tests. There's no way we can find all the places this is likely to be used. There's

If you can't figure out what vps_t means in your codebase then you have much much bigger issues than typedefs.

by adamius 4y ago
Wrapping structs in typedefs like this should be a distant and quaint memory by now. C'mon guys its 2022. Why hasn't some standard gotten rid of this requirement for typedefs around structs? Deprecate this requirement already and

Are all the hours you are putting in being paid for and acknowledged by management? Are the hours you are putting in like a sprint or a marathon? Is this sustainable?

IMHO: in order to say yes you are usually saying at least one or more no's. Otherwise the lack of those other no's will eat you alive. Oddly enough, though, all those things you listed are possible if you reduce the scope and scal

Says a lot about hiring practices and systematic biases. Even small biases creep up and accumulate. I wonder if women are more likeky to hire tall men over short men? What about male hiring of males, does that have a bias?

Ok, I'm curious: how many killings would this kind of check have prevented in the past? What does the data say?

I've recently done some art projects. The comments/feedback can be really bad. Really soul-destroying. The trick is to weight them correctly. Multiply positive by 5. Then re-evaluate. It helps. Negative people find water disgustin

Sounds like a great idea. Pay me $40/mo and I'll remind you to pay them each month.

The only way I understand it and stay sane is to say that "the X server serves out access to a display surface which clients like xterm connect to in order to show what they need to show". The X server runs on my machine since tha

Those billion dollar per day camping trips were fun though, right? The big sneeze involved some fancy face decorations as well. These things aren't cheap either.

Now I'm imagining a rack of raspis acting as one giant ram swap drive over nbd. This could work for a given value of "work". cost of pi vs stick of ram. A kv storage as well perhaps. Then again, whats a TB worth on just one x

That's a little less true about LLVM. https://llvm-mos.org/wiki/Welcome They seem fairly sure that llvm can be convinced to support a 6502 target. As for gcc, I'm fairly sure gcc has at least one out-of-tree

Good list. Its not unlike what I keep on the wall. I call it the potholes on the road. Whenever I feel like I'm stuck I try to remember to check the list. If its on the list I can relax a bit and to at least whatever otherwise useful e
