What a terribly difficult life and yet with so many great achievements. An inspiration!

Another fun story is the "My Car does not start when I buy Vanilla ice cream": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21779857

Also what's with the magic trick of entering DFU mode by pressing the buttons at a very specific time for a very specific number of seconds? Felt like singing a song to some fictional Mac OS gods and hoping for the stars to align for the laptop to show up in the second Mac. Ah, also the port you use for the USB-C cable matters!! Has to be the first from the left? But why?

Anw, I followed a video by Mr. Macintosh and managed to get mine up and running, whew.

Dijkstra worked remotely, before it was cool. Haha!

Same, but i also favorite the ones i want to read later and in the evening go through the comments of some of them. Some never get read though

Loved this! I was just hoping I'd see a count of how many I got right with the first try in the end, but it was fun anyway!

It's back up! The account is back up

You reminded me of this song: https://open.spotify.com/track/2Z77xPgph4BVaW8BgzVZrp?si=c-1...

And I believe what you say is very true, although I'm one of the ones that easily move and embrace the change - I think I keep doing it for the fun and the challenge and simply out of curiosity. At least that's what I tell myself, since I've had to _really_ think if I was trying to run away from anything whenever I did choose to move, exactly because of that expression and of this song.

ps. I also went into my notes and found this gem, which I've really enjoyed reading some time ago: https://moretothat.com/travel-is-no-cure-for-the-mind/

What's the point?

I could have written this. The exact same thing happens to me and now I am realizing you might be right and it might be on purpose so we scroll through all the unnecessary ads. Arrgh.

I have the opposite problem working from home: I take almost no breaks, sometimes it happened I even had lunch from my desk and worked longer hours than in the office. This sucked at first, until I realized I couldn't do this for long and started being more conscious about my working hours. In the office I feel I take so many breaks, short coffee chats, water cooler chats etc. I think what you say that "any breaks people take are way longer than in the office" is not extremely accurate.

This is not so much the case in my experience (Europe). People here do not start new companies that frequently (as is the culture in the US, I think). Many people switch companies and while they can refer you at their new company (and they do), you still have to go through the interviewing process. My own experience: My first job I was approached by one of my Uni professors that had a small company, to work for them. Second job (while still doing my masters at Uni) I had to go through an actual exam for a big company in my country. I found out about it at the Uni (they'd post everywhere they were looking). Third job found on Stack Overflow. Current job found on LinkedIn.

From the title, I got excited thinking this had something to do with having a camera inside human eyes that would record everything one would see and even have options like taking a picture by blinking. I have thought of this a lot and I was pleasantly surprised someone really did start working on it, only to realize it was not that.

I am on the same spot, managed to find myself a job in Data Engineering from Software Engineering, but my end goal would be ML and I thought having the master's as a part time study would help getting there.

I am studying on Coursera meanwhile. Probably just finding another job directly into ML would also work, but I would need to start as a junior and I wouldn't really like that - salary wise.

Thanks for your reply and for the good wishes :)

Hey, thanks for the reply :)

Sorry, should have written "an additional degree". The masters I hold is generic CS, meanwhile this one would be specifically AI related. There was no AI related subject on my first Msc.

So cool!

Me too haha! That was hilarious!

I recently became interested in ML and started with THE course for having a good intro into ML (Coursera's ML by Andrew Ng). That one is offered for free on Coursera and you only pay if you really want to have the certificate once you are done.

That course was so interesting to me and the way Andrew Ng explains - his enthusiasm, his sincerity, the way he talks, his authority on the field mixed with his unbelievable modesty - it is all a mix of things I love in a teacher. He is so inspiring. So I continued.

I am about to finish the Deep Learning Specialization that has 5 courses and my next one will be Tensorflow in Oractice.

I pay for a Coursera subscription (44 EUR/MO) and I am very very happy with the quality of the courses I mentioned above.

When I was studying in depth regarding database development and performance optimization (MSSQL mostly) I really really liked the courses on Pluralsight.

Oh my! These animations are sooooooo satisfying to look at!

Excellent thread - I have the same goal and currently am working mostly with databases. Thanks for asking this question!

Oh my, Sonnenschuld!!!! I feel you, I have felt this so often and talked about it too, but me and my colleagues didn't come up with this neologism :D Can we use it, can we, can we, bitte?!
