That’s funny, I remember the only way to block ads on my Android phone back many years ago was to root it. I was thrilled how easy it was to block ads on the iPhone when I switched.

Is there a public API for this?

I don't think comment karma is publicly available through the site or API, but average comment karma could be calculated based on total karma of user minus sum of post karma divided by number of comments.

It's so nice to see a benchmark of VPSs that takes this into account.

Isn't everything client-side on the web inherently open-source?

An old statistics professor recommended I read The Black Swan by Nassim Taleb. The book's voice has some ego and it's unnecessarily verbose at times, but it changed the way I think about modeling, forecasting, and day-to-day assumptions.

Their “April Fools” jokes made me realize the devs think my phone was just a toy and not a tool. Not that they owe me anything. Made me switch immediately to iOS.

In most terminal emulators, Ctrl-C deviates from normal behavior in favor of sending SIGINT. However, some terminal emulators (e.g. the one in elementary OS) makes the simple decision that if text is highlighted, copy it. Otherwise, send SIGINT. That closes all loose ends for me.

I feel a pull, so my reaction is to retreat rather than jump. Paradoxically, the desire to jump results in placing myself at a safer distance.

PDE constrained optimization. I was optimizing for many hundreds of thousands of parameters. I only needed the diagonal of the Jacobian by the end of the calculation, however it was necessary to build the full dense matrix first without rewriting massive parts of the logic.

I'm at a transition point in my career and have been really thinking about doing this. Salary and career trajectory are my primary concerns. Do you feel comfortable with your pay and future opportunities? The only portfolio I have is documentation for my GitHub projects. Any advice on building it up if necessary?
