It's more of "getting the immune system to respond appropriately" and it's difficult to achieve that balance. The immune system isn't a one-size fits all monolithic entity. For example, inflammation in appropriate l

It's not only magically fast, but it's super useful. You can use it at vending machines + convenience stores anywhere (unless it's one of those old ones that only take cash/coins and print paper tickets) and at the shops

I like this analogy; raising children well like delivering products well pays dividends. They’re less likely to cause problems and if they do, they tend to be smaller in scope.

Yeah, I think the author strays a bit away from the title. The author says, "The collaboration industry has spent a fortune obscuring a dirty truth: most complex, high-quality work is done by individuals or very small groups operating

> To be alone is FAR better than to be in bad company. And the world is full of bad company. I can absolutely stand by this statement after dating an avoidant. The constant push-pull drove me nuts and brought out the worst in me.

I don't have a breakdown. It was a number cited to me from a manager. Downvotes are interesting.

I am saying that. Salary + taxes + insurance + retirement + other benefits + support cost is around 670k. Salary eats up like 160k of that budget, though.

I work at a lab associated with R1 university that has Nobel laureate output so I feel like I have some knowledge in this area: 1. They exist. However, writing a piece of software is not the same thing as supporting them, especially when it

I wonder if this is an actual Hyatt owned and managed property or is it a hotel brand associated with Hyatt. I also wonder what category of hotel it is. Before we call it enshittification of the Hyatt brand as a whole, I am kinda curious fo

I agree that the title can use a bit of work. The author cites examples such as Linus and Margaret, but IIRC they studied CS and/or math as part of their educational upbringing... so I feel like they're almost counter examples of

I suppose I could be more charitable but I feel like title doesn't really match with the message of the blog. Otherwise I thoroughly enjoyed this feel-good story about persistence and micro-improvements. Most of us mortals aren't

This is not surprising to me a graduate of a school with a similar profile to Duke. The student body is composed of highly wealthy domestic students but also insanely wealthy international student body.

Good for EU for trying to improve tech market, but I recall seeing another thread here at HN why it can't be solved by simply throwing money at it.

Yep. You're thinking of TFE. Workspaces and Stacks are the the advertised method for building composable infra.

When you say IPv6 isn't hard, do you mean implementing v6-only network stack isn't hard or understanding IPv6 isn't hard? Depending on which layer one lives on, I feel like the lack of networking effect makes supporting v6 di

Little bit late to this reply... but how are self-funded candidates who have intent on going back to private sector (research, but still private sector) viewed by CS/SWE departments?

I don't personally like it but I suspect much of it had to do with me getting used to just clicking once and having to unlearn the habit.

I respectfully disagree. Parent comment is hardly over-indexing; it's a big factor. The world may be big but the communities are small.

Maybe I'm slow but I'm failing to read the part where AI reminds the author of specifically cloud computing. The general premise seems to be "lot of early promises never panned out"... but then you can say that about pre

Did you ever get asked why you came back to the academic world in the interviews? I'm curious how PhDs who've been in the industry are viewed from academia.

She did not, but I would not be surprised if she picked it up for my granddad (he was in the UDU - precursor to the now ROK UDT/Flotilla).

You need as much FPS as possible for certain games for competitive play like Counter Strike. I went from 80 FPS (highest settings) to 365 FPS (capped to my alienware 360hz monitor) when I upgraded from my old rig (i7-8700K and 1070GTX) to a

I have a funny anecdote. I don't know if it's a Korean thing or my mom-specific thing but she had very strong opinion about being early. For her 15 minutes early == on time. To reinforce this notion, she would set the house clocks

You do not but I feel like many places have the element of getting "pushed up or pushed out". I'm in a similar boat but I haven't seen any place keep up with inflation without some kind of promotion or bonuses.
