Introduction to the Theory of Computation, Michael Sipser

I found the following interesting

""" As a postscript, I’ve heard several stories about people who leave Google or Facebook and have a hard doing being productive at the next place. Both of those companies have planetary-scaled systems and the amazing tools to handle that. The next place doesn’t have those tools, and suddenly you have to know how to do things at much lower levels. If you never learned those levels, you are practically starting over and your previous experience isn’t that important. Their tools do their things, not general things, and certainly not someone else’s things. """

Blazor is even better; awesome to be able to use C# both the for the web front end and back-end.

It's great to see a lot of people interested in transportation research. In our lab we have a fully funded (~2,500€/month + allowance) opening for a PhD student at the Transport and Telecommunication Institute (co-supervised by Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences); starting in April or soon thereafter. for more info; email me: rubens.n at tsi.lv (p.s. I am one of the supervisors)

I already have a decent size cabin; and am seriously considering making the move (having family complicates the decision; e.g. would need to change kid's schools etc.) I wonder what are personal/career/family pros&cons of moving close to a ski resort.

Would love to hear the thoughts from NH users on this.

Why aren't more companies trying?

Why does pixel 6 cost ~10% more in Japan!?! ¥68,501 vs ¥74,800

Caprover on a decent VPS like Hetzner.

p.s. previously did quite a bit of AWS, Google, firebase; but the above had been working the best for about a year

Why are many of the IT jobs not on the list?

"Dear John, Thanks for getting in touch with us and providing that information! I am so sorry that you are missing bag 14 from your Mos Eisley Cantina! This must be the work of Lord Vader.

Fear not, for I have hired Han to get that bag right out to you.

Have a bricktastic day and may the force be with you."

Skybison contains a number of performance optimizations, including: small objects; a moving GC; hidden classes; bytecode inline caching; type-specialized bytecode; an experimental template JIT.

"Take McKinsey’s promotion of an “agile transformation office.” An unnecessary rebrand of an existing concept, the program management office, that goes against the fundamental principles behind agile. Every point McKinsey lists as a difference to a PMO is an almost exact description of a PMO. Additionally, an office that “defines the overall strategy,” “tracks progress” and “creates minimum standards” directly contradicts the agile manifesto’s principle of “self-organising teams” and almost certainly “people over process.”

What types of books do you recommend? E.g. the one I've found most useful are from the CS curriculum, the industry ones are hit and miss, even the O'Reilly's.

I don't see any benefits for Japan for hosting the Olympics, so it puzzles me why government still supports it.
