We've been using overleaf in my lab. In my opinion a much better collaboration platform than word or Google docs, but still has a long way to go. It only very partially solves the LaTeX syntax discoverability problem though.
If it is a large company they have pay bands that limit their flexibility. I would start by negotiating level and research those pay bands. Might be easier to negotiate a one time payment or something that a deviation from their pay structure.
shrug 85% of Canadians live within 100 miles of the us border. If you want to go private take a drive. I’ve lived in both countries and will take the security of the Canadian system any day.
evaluation and the peer review process all pretty much ignore the supplementary materials, so leaving them until the end is kind of systematically encouraged.
pluses and minuses for me. Went on Sertraline (zoloft) for a couple years for anxiety issues. I had some weight gain and sexual side effects, but nothing too unmanageable. Getting on was rough for me with lots of side effects for 6-8 weeks. Once on and past side effects from external comments I seemed much less anxious. I guess I was. The anxious inner chatter was less. But, somehow, and this is ultimately why I tapered off, I was just more complacent. I let things slide which I shouldn’t have. I didn’t really see how many until I was back off. My anxious inner chatter and I are a bit better friends since the temporary banishment anyway so I don’t regret the experiment. At one point I added brupropion to try to help with some of the sexual side effects, but ended up with a tinnitus problem that took ~6 months after cessation to fully resolve. Brains are funny things. Good luck tweaking yours!
yup, back and forth. I was a PM at msft then went to get my phd and did a lot of dev, then into dev mgmt, and now I’m doing some PM work again! I’ve found it all pretty fun, but in different ways.
usually. Depends on how much I care about the article. If it is squarely relevant to my interests, I click to it directly. Otherwise, the HN commentary is often more enlightening (or at least amusing).
Weird as they are, I need a pair! I currently use a face shield respirator helmet when the forest fire smoke gets bad and I still want to be outside working in the garden, so this would be more convenient!
it all worked out in the end, but when I left I had a few thousand options that were just barely in the money. Maybe $2k total. Unfortunately, they neglected to report the cost basis and the IRS sent me a $900k tax bill! It was certainly a heart-stopping letter to read.
I haven't used it for anything with an exit, but have used it in some hackerspace projects in that may-or-may-not go anywhere stage. I like the approach. Mike Moyer is the author of the book, btw.
This problem has been (albeit imperfectly) addressed in speech recognition. When error corrections are made through the the UI the engine can learn from those corrections. Presumably over time the corrections needed in alphacode will become more semantic than syntactical. But you're right, correcting subtly flawed code or text is way harder than writing from scratch.
neat! I recently had my teeth scanned for a night orthotic and decided that I needed a 3D print of my teeth. It was challenging walking the office staff how to get me the STL but once I did they were amazed when I walked in with a print of my teeth! (I don't really know why they were amazed, I mean, that's what the equipment was purchased to do was make scans of teeth. But their reaction was noteworthy!)
I left Microsoft Research and started a PhD at age 38. I have had a lot of fun and gone a completely different direction than if I had stayed. Certainly I'll never recover those earning years. From an economic perspective it is a ludicrous thing to do. You may recover the direct costs, but the opportunity cost are just gone. But if you need to be on a different path there are worse ways to do it
I'm not a huge fan of scratch, generally. But I really like "machine learning for kids" by Dale lane. It is just a really nicely structured set of byte sized pieces on ai.
Water is fine a lot longer than that, btw. I live off-grid and fill a cistern with Canadian tap water (minimal chlorine). I peek in the cistern once a year or so, fill by truck every few months. I have access to a microbiology lab and have tested the water for both bacterial and fungal concerns periodically.
I'd love to touch base on how you are handling this now.. I'm using a combination of geoserver, react, and openlayers for a Canadian Arctic 3573 projection. I'm derekja various places including Gmail. Thanks!
nice app! I seem to have gotten myself stuck, though. In weather graphics I opened up day 4 fronts and now I can zoom around on it but there is no way to close it and the rest of the app is blocked!
Anyway, just a small bug report. Thanks for the app, useful enough to keep it installed!
