I got laid off from a job and did some consulting on the side for a few months. The break helped my creativity tremendously

There have been other periods of massive layoffs. (I’ve personally witnessed 2001 and 2008) Weren’t workers disillusioned with full time work back then or has it become easier and …

> I can't decide if it would be better or worse if it stuck more closely to SQL keywords. You use "from" and "select", but not "where", "order by", "group by". There's some danger …

That’s because metrics are great for optimization and fine tuning features but terrible for innovation

I agree that the 40h workweek is not technically “designed” per se but rather it’s the best confluence of factors such as keeping competition at bay, keeping society productive, ma…

The comment of Tyler Heaps gives a clue: “If you look at each one and how they’ve occurred, many have come from “dangerous areas” on the pitch. At AS Monaco over the last season, w…

The guide is ok, but I will say that nothing works better than having a problem you’re trying to solve. The rest comes naturally. I taught myself data mining (now called machine le…

Thank you, I was reading the article too trying to get the point and failing to do so.

Gerd Gigerenzer's work and the book Simple Rules are far more efficient ways of making better decisions than reading a list of 100+ "biases" and trying to overcome them. A good int…

I’ve worked with a GA implementation before which I don’t recommend if you want to own your data or if you want unsampled, detailed logs. I’ve also seen a full end to end implement…

Actually I don't think that the audience is the problem, I think it's the "tech friction" Do you really want to figure out how to host your own HD videos without a video platform? …

They built a pipeline that complicated for 100gb? That’s insanely over-engineered! Very typical of engineers who just want to pad their resume at the expense of unsuspecting busine…
