This article doesn’t define onion layering, I am none the wiser from reading it. There are near identical sentences within it, it gave me the sense I was reading AI generated content, or at least heavily AI post-processed content.

I think the idea this was HUMINT operation by a state sponsored intelligence service is more likely.

The twitter thread here was interesting.

Raging about these being inconsiderate people, when they were likely fictional personalities that were part of a long con seems to be a bit foolish to me.

Good luck!

I think these new drugs might be very effective intervention for a lot of people, and I really hope it helps you.

I don't know how they know that they'd they'd love a job programming a functional programming language, if they were not passionate enough about Haskell to self-learn (not hard, there are books).

It seems so paradoxical.

It's a bit like someone saying, I'd love to be a hairdresser, do you think it's worth studying to be a hairdresser? There's something which blows up my brain to read that. If you love it, do it.

Nothing makes sense here!

The IT employment industry has been growing steadily since 2008 also.

That graph which is shown above the fold is cumulative graph is, well, misleading.

Sounds like a bad fit - find something new. Learn in a new place and experience. If the pattern follows you around, maybe start to look inwardly at whether your bringing the same problems from place to place.

You can’t escape yourself..,

Sounds extremely subjective. How do you measure it and where do you draw the line? All marketing is somewhat coercive.

How do you get economic and business growth (things which are good for people - jobs and employment) without marketing and advertising?

You can’t understand much about statistical inference without calculus.

It’s all integrals over pdf’s. A lot of integration by parts and other things in the core curriculum.

Zero. They boycotted international shipments due sales tax changes, before they built local fulfilment centres and a local website.

I agree with all the points you make here, we’ll said.

Software isn’t math.

Don’t agree with the patent system particularly, but I just object to this specific categorical statement.

First 60 second impression - this looks like powershell with not-insane syntax. Looks quite revolutionary, it breaks the traditional paradigm for UNIX shells and appears to artfully refine the good concepts in Powershell (which seem to be let down severely - in my opinion - by UX issues.)
