If your goal is to edit code and not discuss it aider also supports a watch mode. You can keep adding comments about what you want it to do in a minimal format and it will make changes to the files and you can diff/revert them.

> My experience is a first implementation / novice programmer will write Julia code of a similar speed to python.

No because of JIT compilation he would write code faster than Python by default. Now to truly rival optimized C++ code one has to do the tricks mentioned in this post like optimizing memory access, SIMD and maximizing instruction parallelism.

The key point is you are better off by default and can do some ugly stuff in the critical parts of the code while still using the same language.

You do NOT need this as a hobbyist. I will go as far to say it will be counter productive. Pickup Art of Electronics or the lab manual that comes with it instead.

Yes my interpretation is that this is more an advice on what not to do - frivolous stuff you don't believe in

One of the points of the talk is emphasis on working on "important" problems. It does make sense to not work on incremental things for merely publications so it is definitely good advice. However once you decide to do so what is "important" becomes a difficult question.

I like this article from Daniel Lemire which explores this further

Andrew Ng has a series of courses on Coursera

Even the free videos are valuable if you do not have experience deploying real world systems.

I don't belong to the SC/ST group. I don't wear the thread and none of my friends (no matter which group they come from) do. So I am not sure what is your point? Once again this is some stupid journo not doing research and spreading FUD. If Westerners want to be moralizing the first thing they should start with is being sound about their research. Even actual issues will be dismissed in future by larger population in India if this is the kind of work that is presented as truth.

Completely agree.This is just governments as well as big tech on a power trip trying to censor things by whatever morals are in vogue now. It is quite insulting treating grown adults like "don't see this. we are telling you it is bad for you."

Agree 2 years is more than enough. Within the first 6 months of those 2 years the ones who had been there longer had no advantage. Guys who had been top at their local schools quickly caught up if they studied hard.

I don't see any issue with that. They get their gratification and the employees get paid for providing their work as a service.

I am sorry but is lightning bolt some extension?

If you are open to Linux you might find this interesting https://elementary.io/

Do you have a link for this?

I second the experience of the other commenters. Keep it open long enough and it sucks up all the resources in non-chrome browsers. I also include Google Slides in my experience btw. It is more severe with Slides than docs.

Lots of us do. Firefox is my browser on all my devices. I do use Chrome when visiting Google Docs which I assume is deliberately sabotaged on Firefox though.

Hypothetical Example: I would tell my dad that I'll give a missed call and let it ring just thrice once I got safely to University from home.

Actual Example from my life: My dad had a cellular plan that had lots of free minutes of calling. So, I would just give him a missed call and he would call back. This was the early 2000s I think.

Glad that your enjoying it. Just add these lines to ~/.config/i3/config and reset. That should get the bar on the top.

  # Start i3bar to display a workspace bar
  bar {
    position top
    status_command i3status
  }

You should give https://regolith-linux.org/ a try. It's a Ubuntu based distro with i3 as WM. They have polished a few things here and there so you have icons for WiFi and easy access to settings.

It's always that kid. I did something similar in high school with luckily no serious repercussions but yup it was another kid who ratted me out. I could have changed my grades and stuff but luckily I was pretty content. The network admin who I really looked up to and asked lots of technical questions vouched for me. I think the fact that I only played around with the admin account for fun and never touched anything else helped my case.

I do a slightly different version of it. Where I imagine how someone I deeply admire would advise me in this situation. This kind of detachment allows me to say hard stuff to myself.

You are so right about the "in the trenches" mentality. I really crave for it sometimes.

Yup it makes as much sense as an Indian HN.

Because you are going to make the money and reward. Only the most desperate idiots would work that hard for someone else's dream.

I think it depends on your location. I didn't see anything in Singapore till I switched to the US version of the website.

The single * way to specify keyword only arguments is a total monstrosity.

That's an interesting argument. I am just starting out as a fresh grad. I applied to three places and got into all three. I did pretty much the same things when trying to land up internships. Maybe, I should try being more ambitious.

Agree on Finite and Infinite Games anti-recommendation. Like someone else stated the book is written in an unnecessarily obtuse style.

Yes, it is very common. I work a lot with ML code released as part of research papers. Everyone uses a different version of TF/PyTorch or whatever framework they are using. I can't imagine working without something like virtualenv (though I use pipenv)

I guess it would have been tremendously hard to select a more painful-to-eyes color scheme.

Oh god I have no clue where this is coming from. I have never heard being hired based on caste. Are you sure about this or even have anecdotal evidence? Or you just heard this from someone?

Unlikely though it possible that I am living in my own bubble since I haven't applied to shoddy places ever so who knows.But as someone living here it really amuses me and seems hard to believe.
