What is yours?
It's glorious in its simplicity.
I started doing Python 15 years ago for game development (using Pygame) and it was fairly good at it. At least for prototype, side-project games. Coming from C, the syntax wasn't hard to grasp.
Then I tried it for web, coming from PHP. It was good at it too. I could reuse some of what I learnt in the previous step.
Same for AI, now I can dig into it and only learn the AI part. I don't have to learn yet another new language. And it does the job here too.
Python won because it has the least amount of friction at every step.
Doing so flawlessly at consistent 60fps in a mobile browser is quite the feat, don't you think?
For efficiency, newer cars have become more profiled and glide through the air where older cars were more boxy.
Explain them that complexity is their worst enemy.
They won't understand.
Explain them again, with more examples, real life situations where complexity wasted time, money, and even, lives.
If they keep not understanding, fire them.
One on the GPU and another on the ML core?
Iron flow sounds great though. Thanks for mentioning, I'll look into it.
Can you explain why, please? I'm genuinely interested. I don't understand how this would be anything other than rich prepper niche market.
Installing batteries in all homes is going to be more expensive than grid storage, since you will need to pay more in total installation costs rather than installing ginormous grid batteries (or reversible dams, where feasible) in bulk.
No storage is cheap enough to store solar and wind energy on day-to-day scale, let alone seasonally.
Please don't let the brainwashing gets to you and inform yourself.
Until climate change stings enough that people would bear the cost.
Or society collapse (but I doubt it at this point).
So let's push it even further, looking for solutions.
1/Ban coal, petrol and gas power plants in the western countries as soon as possible, pushing for fission and renewable+storage, whichever is faster and can give us the most GWh per $ (spoiler: it's fission). Fusion is too far off and renewable+storage are not ready, too expensive and demand too much land and materials to work at scale, over seasons.
2/Start to put import tax on products from carbon-emitting countries, in proportion to the carbon they emit per GDP $.
That's it, solution found! Yeah!
Of course it's not going to fly because politics and status quo and existing interests.
Sad that there is no option for matte 4K+
I bought my Precision 5750 in late 2020 so my infos might be outdated. Check the description or call a Dell rep.

This.
Also you will pay a bit more taxes but since you have kids, those taxes will be offset by the plethora of free or cheap services you will get for your children: kindergarten, school, and higher education.
This also applies to nuclear fusion (and, BTW, fission) reactors.
Doesn't that open a big security hole where someone could inject a special string to probe for variables' content?
I was not concerned about performance at all. Actually, Postgresql's performance is one of its strong points to me (up to a point when scaling up).
I guess there is a point where it all breaks down but I didn't reach it yet.
I'm curious so know if anyone here is using it in production, for a commercial project?
They call it "Royal with cheese".
;)
I noticed a positive correlation between salary and skills. The higher the pay, the more I learnt on the job.
But maybe I was just lucky to pick Python before it was cool and just ride the wave.
I took a massive pay cut when I stopped freelancing and started a product company instead, but it was totally worth it in the long run.
Make sure you take a pay cut for the right reasons, and for the right amount.
To save means keeping money in a low interest rate account, which lowers your short term risk and increases your long-term risk (you are not enjoying the higher returns of high-risk, high-return, investments such as stocks over the long term).
As young people, you should think long term.
If you want to minimize short-term risk in your life, then please, by all mean, save!
But be aware that there is no free lunch, and reducing risk right now will most probably reduce your opportunities in the long term.
Please take into account that I am reasoning with averages and averages are just a massive simplification of real life.
Adjust according to your own assessment of your context and situation. Don't follow random advice from strangers on the internet.
> Don’t assume you’ll make this much money forever.
There is a 90% chance that your salary will increase by 10% per year, on average, during your career.
On average means that sometimes your company will find a lousy excuse not to give you a raise on a given year (you know if it's your fault or not. If in doubt: it's not your fault, they are just being cheap, and you are letting them get away with it).
When this happens, you need to look elsewhere for a better paid job (which are also, on average, more interesting than worse paid ones).
Given that you apply this advice, and barring any black swan event such as the dot-com bubble bursting, you should be able to earn more and more as time passes.
Use this to your advantage!
That is LESS than 1 kWh of energy storage.
I hope it's not the one on the picture otherwise their cost estimates are way off and two orders of magnitude larger than current lithium batteries, even taking into account battery replacement.
Another problem would be the ever-lowering price of batteries comparing unfavorably against this good old tech with stable or raising costs (human costs tend to rise over time)
