Curious if there is a way to dip your toe into this kind of thing without dedicating years of learning. Maybe a home lab? I've always been interested in this because it seems hard/interesting, and enjoyed learning about it in scho

This matches my experience. The company I’m at spent money on decent developers to get a project stood up and running, but will only hire cheap remote developers for the crud enhancement work that’s needed now. It makes sense until somethin

Every story about China should include a note that the government decides how many children its citizens are allowed to have. We've grown numb to how terrible this is.

Not sure this article was more than a journal entry for the guy who wrote it, but I will chime in. Given any anecdote about the economy going down and stock market going up, it is worth noting what is going on with the money supply. There i

This isn't a full explanation, but might be worth thinking about. CS bachelor's education track is unique enough it is hard to switch into. If you are electrical/mechanical/aerospace engineering you're taking a lot

I purchased a motorcycle air filter at a price that was too good to be true. It arrive after almost 2 weeks (basically from China) damaged. I returned it waited another two weeks and it arrived damaged again. Left a bad review and got an em

Very cool. This kind of work makes python and ML better for everyone. I'm not sure I have a use case at the moment, but I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this one.

I think some of the nuance here is that essential vs non-essential assumes a short time horizon. In the keyboard example, an "essential" service can probably operate with a broken keyboard for some amount of time before it is a ma

Can you expand on that a little bit. I started that book based on a very strong recommendation, but found the first 20-30 pages to be defining "art" as a sort of amorphous everything that felt like it wasn't going towards a p

Stretch ~15 minutes a day. You don't need a special routine or a bunch of research. Stretch whatever is sore/stiff. If you can't think of anything start by touching your toes. Think of it as general maintenance on your joints

Great platforms for CTF or pen-testing practice if that is something you enjoy. I have a few raspberry pis and old phones that I test out new tools and methods on. If something breaks or something I install looks questionable I can factory

What's the answer? I grew up in the late 2000s and really believed the internet would challenge existing power structures to change. I think in a lot of ways it did. Even as a fairly technically sophisticated user I can't seem to

I think Occam's Razor says a good lawyer convinced the patent office to make a bad decision. Could be wrong, but this is easily explained by incompetence.

What's your relationship with carriers? I spent a bit of time with "Large E-commerce company" We would have 3rd party sellers not delivering on time (or sometimes not delivering at all). They would claim FedEx/UPS was la

I'd be interested in someone with a good profile selling it to a bad actor for a lump sum. I'm not saying this happens, but it seems like it would be easy to do/very hard to prevent. Especially if you're moving out of th

Its a reasonable risk/reward calculation. If this is your only 2 week vacation for the year, having a bad experience is a huge cost in time and probably money. If you're traveling regularly and save $X 95% of the time by using air

This is good advice. Once you stay in the host's place (anywhere) you're probably not getting all of your money back. I'm a bit sympathetic to this. Scams go both ways. If you walk away at trouble, you will usually get your m

I've been living in Airbnbs while backpacking through Australia for the last year. Here are some things I've learned for anyone needing some tips (Also because I like to share stories) Pictures on the rental are meaningless. Only

I'm mostly thinking of in home delivery for e-commerce. There was a company called Latch that was acquired that was more or less a smart lock for this purpose. You can see fairly regular news stories of Walmart/Amazon attempting t

I've definitely like that as a thought experiment. Whether these tests assess your capabilities is already questionable. I wonder if there would be any objective way to measure outcomes if the tests were entirely different from one yea

Ignoring the debate about its usefulness, I have a really hard time with the line of thinking that minority/disadvantaged populations do poorly on the test therefore it is discriminatory. Everyone takes the same test. Preparing for it

You can't sort by price in search. I think that needs to be repeated anytime someone talks about airbnb's search, website, etc.

FWIW a few of the courses (AI and ML4T that I'm currently taking) have the online and on campus being taught at the same time by the same TAs/autograders. So they are literally the same course in terms of material. It's been

I think there is an aspect of this that is ugly but probably true. The wealth and power staying at Harvard isn't there because it deserves to be. It helps people that deserve to be there and they help it.

Does anyone else have trouble getting upset about these kind of stories? I can believe anti-competitive behavior is happening, but we're talking about snapchat stories and Instagram trends. It's not like they are a phone company r

Not that far into my career, but this one really burned me. Understanding what people's unstated motivations are is really important IMO. I spent a job working tirelessly at something that I valued a lot, but others didn't seem to

Replying to myself here. This will not work because the packet still has to go back to the spoofed address. What a poorly thought out comment.

Cool article but couldn't you just spoof your IP using something like socket?
