  • Both. It's like the saying "Governing a big country is like cooking small fish." (With the explanation that if you keep poking it, it'll disintegrate) also taught me how to cook fish as well as realpolitik.

    The fish advice was most useful.

  • The term machine learning was coined in 1959 by Arthur Samuel, an IBM employee and pioneer in the field of computer gaming and artificial intelligence.[9][10] The synonym self-teaching computers was also used in this time period.[11][12]

    It wasn't so much stolen as taken back.

  • Ok but if you're at a bus stop, and the bus is just coming round the corner into sight, you can say "this bus" even though it's not parked up yet.

    Same thing with this Friday. If it's close enough to be in mind, you can use this.

  • The title of the actual paper includes "Occupational Cognitive Demand" which is a lot more on point.

    Doesn't need to be fun, doesn't need to be interesting, just needs to be hard.

    Accountancy has a fairly high cognitive demand, but calling it stimulating is a stretch.

  • Yes, it makes it much worse. It is absolutely a serious plan and you should worry about it.

    They've created substantial policy for Regan, Clinton, and Trump. You should also pay attention to the shear amount of money they have. They spend 80 million plus in a year on lobbying.

  • It's very true on a Mac. Almost every time you click the green button, it jumps to full screen and then you can't drag another window on top of it.

    It's a pain in the arse because my workflow is to have a reading screen with documents and emails on, and a work screen with whatever I'm actually doing. But if outlook is full screen, you can't drag any other windows on top of it.

    Don't know why the first guy was saying this is a Windows thing though. I only run onto it on macs.

  • Literally, had to make this decision four years ago.

    In the end I went to the German branch of the same tech company and only made 1/4 the money I would have in the US.

    However, because it was a US company they made me do the "what to do when there's a shooter in the workplace" training course anyway. No regrets about not going.

  • I changed companies and we all use teams now.

    But none of that stuff helped when I did use it.

    The problem was I was in AWS and needed to be subscribed to hundreds of channels. So when I needed to find something, I'd have to click through maybe 20 different channels all with similar names to find it. At that point the back button is useless.

    Thumbs up is good for telling a person you've seen something. It doesn't help the rest of the team know this, unless they like to go back and read old messages.

    I mean the real take home message is "don't work for Aws". Slack just made some of the dysfunction worse, it didn't create it.

  • Fuck slack though.

    I hated the channel organisation, I would always click off a channel where I needed to respond to try and find other information, and then I'd never be able to find the channel I was responding to. Chronological sorting channels at least means I have a chance of finding where I was.

    Also fuck their terrible reply options. I generally just wanted to acknowledge that I was responding to a message, I didn't want to spin up some weird thread.

    Basically, I hate everything, and don't want to talk to anyone.

  • The problem is Tesla is a meme stock that pretends it's a real company.

    If you kick out musk and try to turn it into a normal car company with normal stock prices which depends on how many cars are sold, that would look like a complete wipe out.

    Leave musk in charge and it will crate as well. The best thing the board can do is keep musk as nominally in charge, but keep him juiced up to the eyeballs on Ketamin and distract him with twitter. It's not worked yet, but it might stop him from designing more cyber cars.

  • It's good for anything that has thousands of examples on stack overflow.

    For example, every time I end up trying to work with pandas, I always forget the syntax and it's generally good here.

    Anything unusual, or that is sufficiently complicated that I wouldn't be able to Google for, and just forget it.

  • How fucked up would it be if your actual town square was owned by a private company?

    You have just invented malls. Hugely damaging to society, but they come with convenient parking and air con.

    I quite like the tag line X, the abandoned shopping mall of the internet.

    I think it describes it well.
