I love your point that avoiding oversimplifications leads to disaster. It explains why I struggle to have a purist mindset while also unable to explain why things go poorly sometimes.
Don't forget roblox as well. It's past the 20 year old point if you count development time. Although it is slightly different because the platform has changed substantially since 2006.
This is actually a very interesting point and highlights the fact that most of the famous polymaths only started being talked about long after they were dead (good example is Maupertuis and his work on action in physics).
I wrote a web scraper for some county government data and went for tabs as well. It's nice how the columns lined up in my editor (some of these files had hundreds of thousands of lines).
I'm in the opposite lane, I have recently gained an interest in law although I just started my career in software development. Not sure if its too late to go to school now ;)
This galaxy in particular must be one of the first galaxies ever formed. If galaxies are more mature than initially thought, what does this imply about our previous models and imply about what might actually be happening?
This is extremely enlightening. I'm not surprised New York is basically the most expensive state to live in. There are obvious outliers though, such as Alaska, where you end up paying 50% markup on most basic home amenities just because of transit costs. I think I need to check up on where most of NYS money is really going.
Although this isn't foreign related, I started a regional freelance software company to help build websites or software for local government and businesses or other kinds of software/IT help. It sucks to know that there are state funded organizations that just impede any sort of locally homegrown software development. And it made me realize that software is one of the strange fields where competition both feels like its extremely lacking or flourishing, depending on which sect your in.
I'm a young software developer only 5 months into their new job (after graduating for a year, sucks out here). I feel privileged and guilty for coming out of a single parent household in one of the poorest counties in NYS without ever working one of these jobs. I only ever have respect and admiration for those that work grueling, long hours in blue-collar, hospice care, restaurants, etc.
Doubt it. Musk only owns something like ~15% of Tesla, and owns about 50% of spacex. He knows tesla is overvalued immensely and wants to deeply integrate himself with government to make sure spacex becomes the de facto space org. for the United States (possibly).
