Where I live, any rental building from this century will be marketed as luxury. There is in fact absolutely nothing luxury about them. Everything is cheap and crummy, just not too …

A senior programmer does not suggest adding more complexity/abstraction layers just to say something. An LLM absolutely does, every single time in my experience.

If PaaS or some "run container as a service" setup can work for your use case, I'd probably go with that. It takes care of many things K8s does without all the baggage. Also you ar…

This was not my experience. Many of the high paying tech companies were actively hiring senior/staff in London for most of 2022. OK, maybe not Google. This very suddenly changed la…

I had to replace a perfectly good T450s because of terrible performance when using external 4k monitors. I had it for 6 years, upgrading everything I could, and it could probably l…

You can solve to arbitrary precision but you can't measure and specify initial conditions to arbitrary precision, making the solution wrong outside of a small time interval.

Definitely not. Mine is 16 and it will start swapping after running KDE, jetbtains, firefox and a couple electron apps for a few hours. It is tolerable, but in a year or two it won…

Surprised to see Velleman's book so far down. It taught me that proofs are fun and do not in general require clever tricks. As a bonus, it provided plenty of practice with foundati…

CRDTs are useful to be aware of, but they are not a silver bullet they might appear based on the paper and online sources. They are conflict-free only because they hide conflicts b…

A CRDT is a way to solve multi-leader replication without having the application code resolve conflicts. This is what is required to build an app where any instance (node) can be o…

Private OpenVPN definitely didn't work for the last 3 days, on any port.

Sounds like you might simply not understand the definitions for these operators and symbols. In other words, it's not a notation problem. I find that it's helpful to mentally repla…

I worked through this book to learn how to do proofs. It turned out way more fun than I expected. The book really did demystify proofs for me. It took several months of studying - …

I'm actually finishing M208 Pure Math this week. It's been great.

The specs for furniture and home appliances do use mm to specify dimensions. Also any 5m measuring tape in Europe has mm.

The books are called "Essential Mathematics" 1 and 2. They correspond to these modules. http://www.openuniversity.edu/courses/modules/mst124 http://www.openuniversity.edu/courses/m…

I'm studying for a Math BSc with the OU and I think their books are great. They are designed for 100% self-study and are polished over the years. The range of topics in level 1 mat…

They seem to be scanning your email inbox and detecting which companies you have an account with. They they send a data removal request to one of these companies "on your behalf". …

Thank you. I'm part-time studying applied maths to be able to work on something like that one day.

How does a former software engineer get into nuclear tech? What specific skills and positions would be required?

Well, this is just a bunch of nonsense. Here are the logical ways to explain the misconception of injury being less common with bodyweight training: 1. Progress with BW is slow as …

Where's the less chance of injury part coming from? It's much easier to master and incrementally load a fundamental weightlifting movement than a corresponding bodyweight progressi…

B12 must be supplemented, the rest is wrong. Not sure what's your point regarding carbs. Source: I do plant-based and perform blood tests for all the things you mentioned and more.…

I didn't like SS when I tried it. It users the rep range 3-5 for the working sets as far as I remember. This makes sense as the book is strength-focused. However this is just too h…

I recommend 5/3/1 for everyone, especially with some lifting experience. Very easily sustainable long term because training sessions are short and sweet. Minimal risk of injury bec…
