Makes me think of Jackson's electrodynamics - yit always seemed to me a hazing ritual. I remember a story of someone asking him a question from the book and he basically said "how the hell would I know?"
I enjoyed the book and class myself but it did not make me a better physicist, just a better mathematician
Considering 2 hours ago is 7AM EST, you might want to wait for America to wake up before jumping to conclusions.
The article isn't even about military readiness either. Making the military more friendly to married couples is a fine goal, for sure, but the ones who chose that life know the caveats involved and if they don't like it, they leave.
China may have the largest branches of services, they are hardly the best funded and most prepared. Wars have not been decided by who is bigger for a long time.
And to top it off, the Russian progress into Ukraine is largely stalled and has mostly been a shitshow for Russia. Their propaganda machine is scarier than their military incursions.
More unaccountable nonsense "technocratic" fake job bullshit. Get mandated rent from the boring beige-loving 90%, dump the 10% that somehow stick out.
Also, that backyard looks like the least cluttered part of that neighborhood. I can't imagine being so scared of living in a multi story building that I'd do that to myself.
My pixelbook is the same way. However, I custom made a debug cable so I wouldn't have to pull the battery out which often destroys it because of all the adhesives they use
There is also a cultural component to saying hello/hi before stating your request. Almost every Asian/Indian person I have worked with starts a conversation this way. I asked a friend one time and they just said it is polite so I stopped caring
Mentioned in another thread - I use it to write unit tests for me.
I give it a function, tell it to write a test and it largely gets it right most of the time. I have to tweak it but the time spent is a lot less than if I did it myself
I never use ChatGPT for anything I don't already know how to do.
The biggest thing I've had it writing for me recently though - unit tests. It writes them much quicker and even though I have to tweak them, the shell is done and allows me to focus on more important things after I verify and modify them.
Every time I have opened Teams, I have had a problem. I have a "not simple" webcam/audio setup with virtual webcams and audio sources and half the time, Teams will show black and audio will not work, and the sources won't show up in the list.
Not only that, every time I've gotten a Teams link for an interview, the desktop app tells me "this version is only for organizations" then the webapp refuses to load.
A huge pain when every other client I've used (Discord, Webex, Zoom, Google Meet) works with minor tinkering.
Largely due to the fact that "Data Engineer" is defined differently at every company. Some want a SRE, some want a Database Architect, some want a software engineer that knows some SQL, others want only SQL junkies.
As a result, I have picked up a variety of skills to fit into whatever my company dictated what a Data Engineer should handle
I just got blindsided two weeks back from the best job I've ever had. Not looking forward to the search (taking December off to get married) as I have extreme anxiety when it comes to live coding, and I cannot figure out why. Even basic SQL queries escape me when somebody is watching. I've always been fantastic at test taking so take home assignments or leetcode type tests I can do, and hell, even putting together a presentation of a project I've done and presenting is fine. Just that live coding portion that always sucks.
Senior Data Engineer with 15+ years of Python experience and a background in Physics and Math. Can't wait for the new "Who's Hiring"
I feel you on the live coding. As for the physics/math data engineer, hit me up at rferguson at astros.com if you'd like, we're always looking for solid cross discipline folks
