Agreed. I read his book as a young engineer, an I feel that this has really shaped how I view organisations and the forces that operate within them.

This makes me now want to read the book, after sitting on my shelf for the better part of 15 years. Thanks!

+1 for Vonnegut

+1 for storytime

What does this mean for centOS?

paywall?

FYI, The title of his paper is "Zinc lozenges as cure for the common cold – A review and hypothesis". I haven't read it, but the title seems reasonable.

+1 for Yeats

In the financial industry, I have a seen a couple places where SQL was the interface for their payment systems. Mind you that these payment systems were not written using any kind of relational paradigm.

I think this article maybe self referential.

Maybe the world needs more people like you. We have far enough "normal" people.

I have no connection with this author, but I wanted to point out that they have a patreon account if your so inclined.

Can I ask why you think you should be more hard working? Social norms?

Is it just a coincidence that the Giants and Jets both play in New Jersey. Maybe Amazon should just move across the river and call it the New York office.

The funny thing is that I wanted to know more about the project after seeing this page. I'm not sure I would have continued if it was just another time series library.

Man, we really have come full circle.

I would love to see a benchmark for VM performance before and after.

I'm a fellow EE grad, that has been doing software for the past 20 years or so. I started studing ML a couple years ago. I started with a couple of Andrew Ng's courses on Coursera. I found it was a good mix of theory and practice. It's a really exciting field right now (a bit over-hyped, but still lots of room for growth).

BTW, I think the you may have a bit of an advantage because of the math background you presumably have with a BSEE (linear algerbra & differential equations).

It's funny to hear you say you've completed your family I have an 18 year old, and I feel like I'm just getting into the real parenting.

Those who don't learn frameworks will be damned to write them.

Find a mentor. I was lucky enough to have a couple more experienced developers take me under their wing when I was new. I learned so much from them. This idea of mentorship has fallen out of favour, but I now understand "there is nothing new under the sun".

I would have liked to see Presto in the analysis.

From Wikipedia: In 2007, David Schechter (a medical doctor and former student and research assistant of Sarno) published a peer-reviewed[13] study of TMS treatment showing a 54% reduction in the average pain intensity scores for a cohort of 51 chronic back pain patients, whose average pain duration before the study was 9 years. In terms of statistical significance and success rate, the study outperformed similar studies of other psychological interventions for chronic back pain.

The fact that Mark Burgess wrote the forward is a good sign to me. His writing is among the best I have encountered in 20 years of practice.

Curious as to who the scientist and writer was that inspired you? Have you read anything by John Sarno?

I think this is true with most languages that have been around for more than 10 years (except for python... python is a great beginner's language IMHO)

Since we are on the Christopher Alexander love fest, I would like to share a book I purchased a couple years ago by him. It's not a well known as his other stuff, but equally rich.

Anyone know what linux desktop they are using?

Thanks for being a light in this darkness!
