"Remote: Office Not Required", David Heinemeier Hansson, Jason Fried (the authors of ReWork: Change the Way You Work Forever). It is an old book but still very applicable to today …

I also found this book quite useful: "REMOTE shows both employers and employees how they can work together, remotely, from any desk, in any space, in any place, anytime, anywhere."…

It is not about the language - it is about the interpreter (implementation). There are many aspects here: * You simply use it (in interactive mode) * You integrate it into your app…

R is also quite controversial because of its GPL license. I know that there are ways to overcome this issue but most decision makers do not want to risk when they see that a produc…

Adidas is producing millions of its shoes using ocean plastic: https://mymodernmet.com/adidas-parley-sustainable-fashion (and these shoes can be then turned into jet fuel).

It would be interesting to learn about some new (unified) theory that can formalize the notion of infinity. Apparently, this can hardly be done on the basis of the classical (Carte…

Here is another short guide on many useful features of Python 3: https://github.com/arogozhnikov/python3_with_pleasure

Most of the post (~80%) is actually about decision trees: principles, how to train, choosing splits etc.

I like this tutorial but it should be mentioned that before implementing a virtual machine one should understand that there are many computing models and many alternative mechanism…

> I think we should distinguish between gotos at language level and jumps in the underlying machine code. Is there any non-syntactic difference between these two lines? JMP Ox1234 …

Jumps to arbitrary instruction addresses (goto) are unavoidable and the dispute is about how to structure such jumps by effectively replacing goto by some other mechanism: - Introd…

Yandex offers an excellent free email service indeed. What I really like is their free support for custom domains which you need if you later want to move to another email provider…

I personally think first about the loop/iterator organization (FROM in SQL) and only after that what I am going to do with its elements. However, SELECT a1,a2,... FROM Table AS t W…

After reading the section about processors it is not clear whether it can do stateful computations, for example, running sum or moving average. Can I define sliding windows? Can I …

Your room and elephants are different objects. Your room has some size and it is not empty but it has zero elephants or a finite number of zero size elephants. 0 = nothing = non-ex…

> David Hilbert famously argued that infinity cannot exist in physical reality. This statement reduces the problem to the definitions of "existence" and "physical reality" which of…

There have been many critiques of SQL for example: https://sigmodrecord.org/publications/sigmodRecord/1306/pdfs...

> Here, the main difference between flux is that flux has a built-in exponential moving average function, whereas in SQL we have to actually write out the formula. The possibility …

Same with "-2 + 2". Maybe it is loading its calculator implementation in JavaScript (including all dependencies).

What does the property 'contravariant' or 'covariant' belong to: function, functor, class, type class, data type, function or method argument, function or method return value, gene…

As far as I understand, KSQL is not integral part of Kafka - it is based on Kafka Streams (an independent library). So Kafka is not one system and hence some ambiguity when referri…
