This article doesn’t define onion layering, I am none the wiser from reading it. There are near identical sentences within it, it gave me the sense I was reading AI generated conte…

Great article - thanks.

He worked as a conduit for Russian interests.

I think the idea this was HUMINT operation by a state sponsored intelligence service is more likely. The twitter thread here was interesting. https://x.com/thegrugq/status/17743928…

Good luck! I think these new drugs might be very effective intervention for a lot of people, and I really hope it helps you.

I don't know how they know that they'd they'd love a job programming a functional programming language, if they were not passionate enough about Haskell to self-learn (not hard, th…

The IT employment industry has been growing steadily since 2008 also. That graph which is shown above the fold is cumulative graph is, well, misleading.

"I'd love to work in Haskell - can you tell me if I should read a book on it?"

Sounds like a bad fit - find something new. Learn in a new place and experience. If the pattern follows you around, maybe start to look inwardly at whether your bringing the same p…

Sounds extremely subjective. How do you measure it and where do you draw the line? All marketing is somewhat coercive. How do you get economic and business growth (things which are…

You can’t understand much about statistical inference without calculus. It’s all integrals over pdf’s. A lot of integration by parts and other things in the core curriculum.

Zero. They boycotted international shipments due sales tax changes, before they built local fulfilment centres and a local website.

I agree with all the points you make here, we’ll said.

Software isn’t math. Don’t agree with the patent system particularly, but I just object to this specific categorical statement.

First 60 second impression - this looks like powershell with not-insane syntax. Looks quite revolutionary, it breaks the traditional paradigm for UNIX shells and appears to artfull…

Sounds like your experience is with small organisations. Management is required in large enterprises.

Tt was the CIA that infiltrated the communists in Italy for the exact purpose of shaping the politics of the continent to their design. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIA_activities…

The EU project has always been a project rather paternalistically cultivated by US foreign operations, including intelligence operations, so I believe. It allowed them to remove a …

I've worked all through many London investment banks, mainly front office tech, I have rarely seen traders working weekends, and I was not compelled to work many hours greatly exce…

You are doing it wrong then. I was making 100k GBP a year in 1998 in London as a C++ developer, the jobs are out there if you have the talent.

Mongo is obviously not competitive with KDB though, if you are talking of timeseries data as you suggest. I would think it is in fact very much the wrong tool for the job. Time ser…

If you hire a room full of developers at high salary and nobody is capable of acquiring "the correct understanding/skills" then maybe it's not such a straightforward technology. It…

I mean, don't love the macros - but that still looks like a load of typing to me - and it even reads less well than __LINE__ if you are looking at from a literate programming persp…

It simplifies the expression of if/then/elsif/elsif/else, even if it's not total. Why not steal it?

Sad that the Dark Crystal was cancelled - didn't know that. It did look awfully expensive to produce though, and it was not kid friendly at all (all that sucking the soul out of cu…
