And most people problems are communication problems. Engineers aren't engaged with the product vision or the customer base, and are allowed to silo themselves. Product doesn't see the point of engineers being engaged and feed the

Oh man, I remember in 2000 when I first started working in the industry we had this database build process written in Java that took almost 30 days to run. The delivery schedule was monthly, and if anything went wrong we'd have to rest

My dad taught me to read with Dr Seuss and the TI-99/4A BASIC programming manual. Starting writing my first programs at 4. Love that old machine. There was a sort of Gradius knock off for it called Parsec that I played the hell out of

So let’s set aside for just a moment the notion of single payer healthcare as an answer to this. Why hasn’t a point of competitiveness between insurance companies ever been that they keep your workforce healthier, more productive, and easie

If you’re regular and become irregular, it’s often a sign that something is off, or if you’re into middle age, that your body’s hormone balance is changing. In either case it’s something to pay attention to and maybe mention to your doc nex

Oh good. I was literally wishing for this on Saturday when trying to parse the table of which mileposts were closed on the blue ridge parkway.

I preordered Starlink in March of 2021, as soon as my first rural isp reneged on 50 megabits and sold me 5. 2 years later in western Virginia I still have no eta for my order and cannot contact anyone about it. I have 12 megabits from that

I mean they kind of say in there. It's an early emergent and it has broad leaves and grows dense mats, which inhibits native species from emerging. The native species are more suited to pollinators and other insects. They're also

Feels like a prime opportunity for a National Park. Restore it to the point where it won’t degrade further, add a museum, plantetarium, library, and preserve the land around the telescope. It’d be really neat! I’d take my kids to be sure.

I would love a game that melds witcher style open world "ronin" with a tactics-style game like Fire Emblem. Sort of a wandering knight in a broader war sort of thing. The tactics-style battles you join (or don't) and the way

I find ADHD to be an "occasional" disorder. I feel very much like the author much of the time, but honestly I want it to continue to be researched as a disorder, because I want strategies and medications that are better than post-

This is absolutely correct. Neither chanterelles nor puffballs are "foolproof" mushrooms, even slightly. Mistaken puffballs are probably the number one cause of serious mushroom poisonings and even fatalities, since small puffba

Neither is a bad option, but there's plenty of room in between. Series B, C, are often still pretty collegial, and you'll still get the opportunity to know the founders. The market's really gung-ho right now, and wherever you

You can use SSH keys for VNC, too. Would be neat to see a PoC that allowed you to invite someone to remote control your computer temporarily via their github handle. https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=383053

You know, I really should add a post soon about algorithms, papers, and textbooks. You make an important point which the first responder highlighted, "avoiding the destruction of business value by misapplying ML/statistics."

I knew I was forgetting packages. I do in fact use Tableau. Will add it. Thanks for the catch! As for LaTeX, it would have never occurred to me to add it. I have no idea why not, but it doesn't. Maybe because it feels more like

I think it's great that students and young professors in the sciences are taught to code now. I've even taught some of them. To me, data science is more than understanding statistics, it's been essential to know how to scale

This is crazy talk of course, but I wonder if there'd be some way to use rsync or git to support distributed development of images the way git does with code? I mean, it'd be neat to be able to do a "pull" of diffs from

This is not a waste of time. Let me explain. Sometimes you only have 7 minutes. What's the difference between 7 minutes of this and 7 minutes of sitting, reading HN or Reddit? Lots. I did this one yesterday, just to try it out. Now me, p
