I think a huge part of the challenge is we all suck as a field.
Why does something new have to be invented or api need to be deprecated? Do we take into consideration all the things that will break? The docs, the online examples, do we give sufficient context as to why something is a solution or works-for-me and move on? Tech like docker and Java were supposed to simplify but did they actually fulfill their mission? I think I will write a book on this one day.
I moved to management but my heart is still in the code. And it weeps.
B.s. parent literally gave an example of someone that got access to MAID a week after their doc visit. I’ve changed my mind on things after a month. Not saying MAID is bad or should be banned. I’m saying people will 100 percent abuse the system. My concern is healthcare system practiioners. I am dealing with a ton of people whose job it is to press our family into a decision we don’t want to make. This includes an md, a social worker and a care coordinator. Canadas health care for old people and folks with dementia is a disgrace. Maid should not have to be the only option with dignity.
...and what is the implication here? After I broke a bone, I was given a choice between surgery and a cast. I chose surgery - which cant be undone - and I half-regret it because when I bump into things and the titanium bits transferred the force straight to the bone, resulting in exquisite pain. Should I have been denied surgery because it can't be undone? I think not; I was given the choice, I hose what I thought was best. Did I make the correct choice? Probably not, but it was my choice to make, and expecting a system with 0% regret rate is impossible.
Accepting suffering as part of the human condition. In the Christian faith, Christians are taught that suffering is part of life and good things can result from it. Like what? Empathy, love, and compassion from caregivers, friends, and family to the suffering person. Also, the suffering person may express love to those around them. Jesus allowed himself to be crucified and suffered one of the most horrible deaths imaginable. He did it as an act of love for humanity. A Christian might argue that it was also to serve as an example of enduring suffering.
And you and anyone else can still opt to live and suffer if you see value in it. The beauty of freedom is that you can do you, and nobody can force their beliefs on you.
I would also caution with the old adage, don't knock it till you try it. Life in extreme pain is no life at all. Calling on Jesus isn't going to suddenly make excruciating pain more bearable, especially for someone who doesn't believe in Jesus. Maybe toughing it out for a few more weeks or months is worth extra presents in heaven, but unless we have some evidence of that, I think it would be grossly irresponsible, indeed evil, to legislate it. It is, in my opinion the equivalence of torture.
I accept your suffering if you choose so. If I knew you personally, I would even do all I could to help and comfort you. However, I cannot condone you imposing suffering on others in the name of YOUR religion.
Christians can suffer as much as they like. To everyone their weirdness.
Just don't push it to others under the name of morality out other bullshit.
I would like to be able to die when I want to, in a simple and painless way. Because I will do it anyway jumping under a train or lorry it is just messy for everyone.
I never said anything about imposing my beliefs on others. I merely responded to the question about whether there was any other course when things are terminal.
My kids mixed up about 20-300 sets, some big ones, and it feels quite hopeless sorting them through. Any tips on how to untangle, or is it a hopeless cause? I do vision research and am mulling an AI based approach too.
Hey! Those were the last two times I invested in the market, saw my investment diminish and stopped paying attention. For what it's worth, I am putting money in again, so let's see.. lol.
Edit. Oh .. I also invested just before the dot com crash. I looked at the historical charts and can't believe my timing.
"Investing", assuming you are regularly employed, shouldn't be a thing you only do at certain rare times. You should put a part of every paycheck into whatever investments match with your risk tolerance. They way you eliminate the risk that you put a big lump sum into the market right before a crash.
Like bonds? When we talk about liquidity, aren't something like questrade ETF's for bonds like VAB.TO for example pretty liquid? I can just sell them any day fairly easily. Then again, the interest rate of my bank is probably more than that right?
You can sell stock any day too, it's just not guaranteed you get out what you put in. What you needs is short-term bond so that you aren't stuck with the interest rate risk (when prevalent interest rate changes, your bond value changes too). Just to make a concrete example, if you buy VAB.TO in 2020, and you want your money now in 2024, you're currently down 20% from your purchase.
You need short-term bond (6-month, 1-month or even shorter) so that at worst you will get 100% of your money out by waiting for the maturity date. Money-market would be super short term: consider them as days-length bond.
But if we are talking about down payment money here, it's probably 100-200k something, which would translate to a few thousand dollars per year. Might not be worth your time, and definitely not worth it if you misunderstand and buy ETF bond or something like that. So yeah, keep it in a high-interest rate saving account is ok.
It’s called a masonry grid. Images retain their aspect ratio so they don’t need to be cropped. You can kind of simulate it with css but there’s proposals to add a proper masonry layout to css
yeah. I actually wrote the logic for the layout myself (wasn't really happy with the available libraries). may open source this if people are interested!
I’m an old person now but I miss coding. With lil kids and stressful management work, I just don’t get blocks of time as I used to as a younger person. Can you share how you were able to code in breaks? As it takes time to get into a state of flow, I don’t even bother with short intervals under 2 hours. That is likely my mistake. Open to tips to wake up the code monk inside.
No, you're right, and I should have set the expectation that you can't really get into deep thinking mode that more demanding tasks require.
But a lot of it can be discrete or boilerplate. While it's not muscle memory yet, leaving comments for myself and implementing them later, especially when it's about implementing $routine in $language. This is useful when learning.
Doing integration work will take focus or great planning + notes though. But I think it can be done to a large extent. I find it easy to pick up old abandoned projects where I've left enough comments to my future self.
And I'm in my 30s now so not the youngest in software either.
I am totally guessing but this seems like proof of concept chip that can likely just do some specific cnn. The benchmarks quoted seemed weird .. who does fashionmnist outside of teaching? What the heck is 3 class imagenets?? Not even sure what time lapse video recognition is.
There is an advance here which is cool scientifically .. just overblown headline as usual I think.
Also work in deep learning for the last many years. We pay people well but the hype about truckloads of cash to researchers is overblown. Unless you happen to be exactly the skill set someone needs, there is a lot of talent.
I post this to say there is nothing wrong with you. You hear of the crazy successful few but not the majority of cases.
