This. So much this.

I'm a member of Sveriges Ingenjörer. Fortunately, I've never needed serious union help, but it's probably because the background threat is more than enough. And the salary statistics alone are worth the dues!

Yesss... You're not wrong, but I really do believe the solution we want is to be found somewhere in that direction. Considering the Google graveyard, the faang crowd isn't all that reliable either.

Sounds reasonable, but a lot of recent advances come from being able to let the machine train against itself, or a twin / opponent without human involvement.

As an example of just running the thing itself, consider a neural network given the objective of re-creating its input with a narrow layer in the middle. This forces a narrower description (eg age/sex/race/facing left or right/whatever) of the feature space.

Another is GAN, where you run fake vs spot-the-fake until it gets good.

Well, Rust has a lot of string flavors, and I like utf-8 being the norm, but there are a bunch of cases where enforcing utf-8 is a nuisance, so getting string features without the aggro enforcement is nice.

There's probably some fruity way to make this a security issue, but I care about ascii printables and not caring about anything else. This is a nice trade off: the technical parts are en-US utf-8, the rest is very liberal.

Rust implementation of the Meta-II meta compiler. I used bstr, which was interesting.

Turn the mouse upside down.

Also, check your BIOS settings. Turning it on from completely off also sounds sus, surely it's 'hibernating' or something, right?

Going all in on the stock option program, even if it was a little risky. I remember the argument: There's no lottery or casino that'll give me odds like these. I also left when we'd grown to the point where middle management didn't want to understand that when the program ran out (4 years) and had to be restarted at the new validation, that was basically a static pay cut for me. I get paid a lot more now, but I still made more from stocks than work last year.

Second, our apartment. It's a lot like a row house, except it's in the city. The other part backs right up to the park.

Third, maxing out parental leave with both of our kids at a company that (as, more or less, a recruiting gimmick) topped up parental leave pay from the capped 80% to, iirc, 100% with no cap. They turned out be quite dumb about this and had shuffled me into a corner when I came back. I was ready to put my back into it, but well, I guess not then.

(The one without the parentheses is older Python 2, the example with is newer Python 3)

What part of 25% below market makes you compare him to the food oligopoly? He likes trouble-free tenants, and I'm pretty sure his tenants like this arrangement too. By contast, you come off as very tiresome. Do you have any skin in the game? What are you doing to help make housing affordable? Do you do anything besides exemplify why having revolutionaries in charge would be terrifying?

"Appendable" seems like a positive spin on the "truncated YAML-file is frighteningly often valid" problem...

It was harder to explain why picking on Python for this is dumb, before gotofail... (Not saying that's what you're doing, but it feels close, so this is relevant.)

For whitespace, my rule is this: If any level of indentation depends on the length of any word or name, you're doing it wrong. If using a more descriptive name causes indentation where previously there was none, that's fine, but if moving the opening parens causes the interior to be indented more, less so. (Yes, Golang's structs)
