I just learned about Zig, an effort to make a better C compatible language. It's been really good so far, I definitely recommend checking it out! It's early stages for the community, but the core language is pretty developed and is a breath of fresh air compared to C.
Property tax is the big thing that forces people to engage with capitalism against their will.
Without property tax, you could live off-grid for eternity. But with property tax, you always have to earn money, and the people that control that money therefore control you.
I feel enlightened now that you called out the self-reinforcing nature of the algorithms. It makes sense that an RL agent solving the bandits problem would create its own bubbles out of laziness.
Maybe we can take advantage of that laziness to incept critical thinking back into social media, or at least have it eat itself.
I disagree with most people here. The interview is the most important thing, so build it from scratch and make your own libraries. You will learn how to design good APIs which will make you infinitely more likely to get hired and promoted too.
I know we're just having fun, but in the future consider adding the word "some" to statements about groups. It's just one word, but it adds a lot of nuance and doesn't make the joke less funny.
That 90's brand of humor of "X group does Y" has led many in my generation to think in absolutes and to get polarized as a result. I'd really appreciate your help to work against that for future generations.
We should always add a mental asterisk to the names of male researchers who discovered things while women were oppressed.
That said, this meme is playing loose and fast with the specifics, which undermines that important message.
Just picking the first one:
Payne's work was her Ph.D. thesis and Russell did not tell her not to publish it, her advisor did. The advisor told her not to rock the boat in her thesis. This is good advice that even Einstein was given. Payne, badass, declined.
When Russell later reproduced her research, he cited her thesis as the "most important research" he'd seen on the subject.
The real snub with Payne is that her title was "Technical Advisor" for 20 years despite being well regarded as a full time professor. It wasn't until the 50's she was recognized as a professor, when she was also made chair of the department.
Did 39 people really believe this enough to upvote this? This is easily proven false. Amazon is convoluted because it's old as heck and they hire subpar engineers. Like me. I used to work on the team that made the search page. It sucks because most of us were fresh out of college and had never made a website in our lives.
I see your concern, but in practice that's not what happens in languages like Java and Python with exceptions. Not checking for exceptions is a choice because everyone knows you need to check in your top-level functions. Forgetting to catch is a problem that only hits newbies.
