I think the author missed some key points: 1) It will take you longer than you think 2) It will be harder than you imagined 3) It’s harder to find people who know it and non-trivial to get good at it (this should have been closer to the

I’ve worked in data centers. The constant air circulation causes dust to accumulate in visible places. I assure you, computers are not as sealed up and tidy as you’d think. We used to jokingly call the hard, thick, black dust “cancer”. It’s

Also every American who dies of cancer or other major medical condition will have his or her lifetime savings wiped out by medical bills. So measure average net income minus expenses at time of death and I’d be surprised if we beat Banglade

Thanks, that’s good advice. I’m ok with an external apple Magic Trackpad. As long as I can bring my own device so to speak.

There’s an active project to make good trackpad drivers for Linux. I suspect I could get better performance from the x1 given some work. I’ll focus on that one. The dell latitude 7250 I suspect just has a crap trackpad.

I’m glad this came out. It’s easy to forget that weed causes harm. Just from my own experience, when I’m on it I can’t think straight, can’t track a sentence from beginning to end. I can’t imagine where I’d be if those effects had applied l

I have no love for the guy, but by all accounts he invented a lot of the core tech he stole.

No. This book ends suddenly half way through. I absolutely cannot recommend it.

It really depends on interest. What does your target audience care about? I’d recommend Sapiens to anyone, but it’s more of a thinking book than an escaping book.

Pihole on a raspberry pi ZeroW and ublock origin for desktop and Adblock plus for mobile. I love ublock’s ability to easily block individual elements of a page such as distracting video or moving crap.

Also a self-healing saltwater friendly reaction. But keeping the rebar out is necessary as well.

It’s not if the stock is overvalued. Time will tell. I’m actually a Tesla shareholder. I bought it when I believed in their vision. Musk’s antics have caused me to rethink the wisdom of my position though. I wouldn’t be surprised by a crash

Deliberately manipulating his stock price to damage short sellers is profoundly unprofessional behavior though. And apparently just a little bit illegal.

This seems needlessly complex. How about we ignore paywalls and the they go away?

Not lately. I tried three laptops somewhat randomly. Everything worked out of the box.

I’ve got an xps 13 with coil whine. Fucking sucks. Bought an x1 instead.

I roll an x1. Works great.

I’m assuming you updated the firmware? There was a fix that lowered the temperature significantly.

The book actually calls out the liberal humanist ideology as an ideology. Discusses the benefits (greater collaborative opportunities) and the drawbacks (loss of ideological meaning) I think it’s an excellent exploration of the ideology com

The problem of meaning is actually a central theme.

If you want it for ML you could check out the Coral TPU. (Tensor Processing Unit over USB) I picked up a couple of those yesterday.

It’s also important to choose local species. Planting a non-native tree species causes unexpected problems long term. See the eucalyptus problem in California.

There are a couple really cool drone tree planter projects out there that are able to plant thousands of trees an hour. https://www.fastcompany.com/40450262/these-tree-planting-dro...

There are vast swaths of land that can be planted as forest without any negative economic impact.

It’s actually not hard to sniff out assholes. You just ask them about how they resolved a recent conflict and picture yourself on the other side of the story. We had a great net eng candidate who zero of the interview team said they’d want
