Slightly tangential to the post: Does anyone know how to make diagrams (watercolor style) like the ones in OPs article and blog?

How different is this from pinboard.in - why should I migrate to this?

Not to be a debbie downer, looking at this chart hurts my head. I am sure there are many other ways to present this information in a much more elegant and clean way.

Can you please elaborate?

At this point I am unsure if I should develop my C/C++ chops more or learn C# application development and add something new to the skillset.

Getting a job to develop with Rust would be a dream :)

Why?

A lot of ML and scientific computing libraries are in C++. Quite a few of the roles I have see want a solid understanding/experience with C++.

I think you pointed out my only concern quite well.

The C# role is mainly developing application level software which would talk to the C/C++ drivers and such. This C# will be fitted into another framework which is the top level platform.

Can you please elaborate on this "But really, it's pretty trivial to learn a language. C# is a fantastic language, but it seems that it is likely that your role will be taking you further away from your future plans, not nearer them."

As people have pointed out, learning a new language seems definitely like a good addition to the skill set, but I wouldn't want to do it at the expense of pigeon holing myself.

TL;DR: I am not sure if I should become better in C/C++ or pick up C#?

Could you also send me an invite please :)

A couple more things I encountered when trying to sign-up: 1. I could not see New York, SFo on this list. Which are the current target cities? 2. Upload a JPEG only picture. Really?

I am more interested as to how they "..scraped the Urban Dictionary from its memory." - is it trivial to just delete something learned by AI?

Is the iPad Mini really the '...at the moment the most sought after device in the tech blogosphere....'?
