I like the idea of power as a function of performance, credentials, and relationships. From your experience in the tech industry, how would you prioritize these 3 dimensions?

Thanks for sharing this! I was looking for a resource on CSS animations for a couple web apps I'm working on.

I have a mixed view on this. I don't have a traditional CS background, so when I started focusing on datastructures and algorithms a couple years ago, I found that it helped my programming. Recently, I was in a position where I had a chance to create an interview process for a smaller firm. I included some algorithm questions, but it was roughly 25% of what mattered. We looked more at communication skills and past work. Judging someone on a random algorithm question seems a bit too harsh for me. Even the best developers probably have some holes in their algorithm knowledge and would miss a few leetcode "easy" questions!

I’m currently on week 8 of Andrew Ng’s original course on machine learning. All the exercises are in Octave/Matlab. I was wondering if Octave is still widely used. I’ve been programming in Python almost exclusively for the past few years. I appreciate the math explanations in this course. I don’t have a formal math background but it is really helping me understand what is going on. Looking forward to finishing this course then moving forward to a course specifically on deep learning.

I like his idea of choosing a startup idea that is in an industry poised for growth and "riding the elevator."

These allegations are more severe than those in a typical sexual harassment lawsuit. I'm interested to read their defense.

Thanks for sharing. I agree with his advice about keeping the flashcards short. It is easy to get into a flow while answering the cards, but when one of them is too long, it disrupts the flow. Try breaking down larger cards into smaller bits of information.

Working through some of Strang's problems has also helped me. 3blue1brown is a great introduction to give you intuition, but you cannot commit the skills to long-term memory without struggling through problems.

I think it's worth it. I have a rudimentary understanding of C, but I still gained from it. The first few videos are about the project structure and the main Python loop. You get to disassemble some Python code into bytecode and see what's really going on. Don't let the lack of C expertise stop you.

I'm a Python developer who wanted to learn more about the CPython internals. I watched these videos a couple months ago and found them helpful.

I started working on resilience about a month ago after reading a post on HN regarding stoicism. I didn't know about stoicism prior to reading the post. In a short time it has had a positive impact on my life. Certain things just don't seem so stressful anymore.

I've been following Comma.ai since I read the Bloomberg article about George hacking a self-driving car in his garage. While I have read the criticism on HN and think it is reasonable, I must admit I'm rooting for George and his team. I'm happy to see they launched this product and are continuing to make progress after the NHTSA incident. I'm looking forward to testing their tech myself.

I agree with what you are saying. I am having trouble finding tasks that rejuvenate my mental facilities. What works for you?
