I agree. No need to make it emotional and confrontational with a “respect” interpretation in my opinion. Of course this is hard but if I can do it I imagine the best approach will be to simply make the best choices for my career while recog

I simply buy a weekly newspaper and read it. I’m always 1-1.5 weeks behind so I never feel as “emotional” or follow things that closely. I want a general feel for some of the things happening in the world and that is it

I did a CS undergrad and skipped compilers, O.S., DBs, and many others cause I just took as many crosslisted math/CS electives as possible (at least a theorems or math heavy course like automata if I couldn’t do better), then the minim

Taleb is smart etc but he’s basically a rambling eccentric who I ignore at this point

This is what they did at my undergraduate university Do all of these in order first: Calculus 1 and 2 Linear algebra and multivariable calculus and an introduction to proofs / logic course (you are ready for some electives at this poin

I believe this might be more prominent among uneducated folks of (at least in my neck of the woods) non-mainline American Protestant denominations. At least the doctors of the Catholic Church will specifically talk about preparation for dea

Sometimes I wonder if people are actually really good at thinking in groups but the thought process is just too terrifying and different from what we could understand as individuals

So it’s not clear that the Idaho kid isn’t better than the average MIT admit, but it’s also not clear that he’d do better at MIT than going to his state or Montana state or something. (I mention this not to throw out state schools in the we

Thanks for your post, I’ve removed the numbers from mine as it appears they were likely quite inaccurate

by hnuser355 7y ago
To be honest, my number was based on my rembering of opinions from people who were in management but were certainly not experts on HR budgets or something. So it could be very wrong

Does that mean that the market is simply devaluing capitalists?

I’m not sure of numbers but I’d imagine a 70k salary would mean higher than purely salary costs (depending on company industry etc) after other expenses

His pretty face might leave your superiors with a better impression of your group. A friend manages a software group and actually told me that one of the best things to increase chances of getting a job with her group would be to pay more a

Was it Seneca who mocked this line of thinking? If I remember right he mocked it by saying either 1) a good man is a good man and thus equal to other good men Or 2) you proceed through so many qualifications and “but what if this guy was pr

So true. My impression of one guy at my current organization is that he had some skills and productivity years in the past, but now he’s just given up and fiddles around on his phone while doing occasional low-effort tasks and trying to bul

One of the reasons I like the PhD in my case is I consider it to be “fuck you education”. I don’t expect it to give me any significant income advantages in software company, but I feel like it opens enough different areas of employment and

I mean PhD might be a piece of paper but most people I know who do them in marketable fields don’t pay tuition and get paid assistantships

I feel like power is an issue often solved by education or something. The more you understand about what is going on in the world, what has gone on in the world, humanity, how people work, etc. the more you realize the guy in front of you i

An impression I have of USian culture is that one is only “allowed” to spend time on pursuits such as essaying, the humanities, etc. without mockery after one has made a fortune

That’s always the way I’ve heard the term muscle memory used in a technical setting, but the people I’ve met who go to the gym a lot use it to refer to the phenomenon of gaining back lost muscle much more quickly than it took to build it in

Idk, I tried to self study the first two chapters of a very hated textbook (Principles of Mathematical Analysis). If you’d have asked me if I understood the material I would have said no. But by the time I took the actual class on that mate

I used the book “A Transition to Advanced Mathematics” in undergraduate and I loved it. Many but not all exercises have answers in the back

Depending on your level of math ability you can often learn a lot by reading textbooks and proofs very carefully and closely (my opinion)

So I ain’t read the book from OP or Noetzsche but ain’t Nietzsche explicitly say this in Zarathustra or something. I’m sure I didn’t do a good reading but I thought I remember hearing him talk about the incredible violence of what the op ar

Well I don’t mean to be rude but many logicians and set theorists I know will be sad to find themselves out of a job if what you said about these questions being settled is true
