Recently did 5 interviews, and I liked it. I’d had no issues doing more if needed, just to be on the safe side for both parties. I guess that when a family doesn’t depend on your j…

My 5yrs old kid wants to listen Khea / Duki / Londra all day (I don't, so it's limited :( ). I don't see a lot of connection between listening to music on YT and a career in tech (…

I do, but not for language learning, but for mathematical proofs and logic proofs. Example "Prove that the dot product between 2 unit vectors is cos θ".

I started to learn Delphi/Pascal yesterday and didn't like the IDEs either (I'm used to VIM keybinds, better autocompletions and automatic indentation). But VSCode has a plugin for…

> Can you name a single example project on Github where you think a Python programmer with 2-3 years experience could contribute? I'd love to find one too! :) And better yet, a pro…

It would be cool to have package statistics to know which packages are more popular/used. The community is too fragmented at this moment, and there are too many competing packages.…

I've been using Xubuntu for over 10 years. Besides a lighter Desktop environment, I don't know if it offers something else. The advantage over Ubuntu+Gnome+XFCE is that there are f…

No Linux?

Thanks! I'm learning OOP and data analysis. For OOP I use Pycharm and for data analysis I use Jupyter Notebooks (in Lab or VS Code). Sometimes I write some reusable code in .py mod…

On average, there is no hourly pay gap for unmarried women and men without kids. After they get married, there is an hourly salary gap, and this gap is even larger for married pare…

Been using it for a while and like it so far. A downside for me is that from every $3 coffee paid by supporters, I only receive $2.39 in my Paypal account :(

A common hypothesis in South America is that Maduro did that on purpose. Maduro and Bolsonaro are on the opposite side of the political spectrum and I don't find that hard to belie…

From a job seeker point of view, there are also lots of job posters that are scams or that want to receive free or almost free work. Some are just trying to steal applicant’s money…

I have broken my both knee cartilages. First time when I was 23 and recently when I was 35. Fist knee recovered successfully after some years (I'd say about 5 years). The second in…

I've been using XFCE for years. It worked better in my old computer. Now I have a fast i7 w/8GB now and still using old XFCE with Ubuntu. Am I missing a lot?

There are some discussions on whether data scientists are going to be replaced by automatic tools in the near future. Can this be considered an example of a tool that partially rep…

AFAIK (I'm not a specialist by any means) brain cancer has a long (years) latency time. I've heard that that is why it took a lot of time to diagnosis Hiroshima and Nagashaky survi…

I agree, they are comparable. A stock can buy a flow for a specific period of time. Or: a flow, accumulated during a period of time, could buy a stock. For example, "if Netherlands…

Maybe there are a lot of other trading algorithms that worked for some time but ended with a loss so big that exceeded all the profits, and we will never see those stats. Publisher…

Hi, I have a very small forum of professionals of a specific field (let's say they are dentists), it has 3k daily visits. I'm making big changes (moving to a better platform, bette…

The WTO uses bound tariffs, not the actual applied tariffs, as far as I know. The applied tariffs adjusted by real trade shows that US is not the least protectionist country, Japan…

Don't agree here: - Growth has been relatively high - Infrastructure improved - Quality of life improved - The state was not left in a state of destruction.
