Oh this is what that is! I accidentally reach this mode now and then and wonder how I got there and what it does. I must be accidentally pressing q: instead of :q ! This is great and useful. Thanks!
The article notes that the total CO2 emission from India and China is rising and crossing the US. This is true but the per capita emission is still a fraction of that of US[1]. It will be impossible for China and India to compete if they aren't allowed the same per capita emission as the developed world. Per capita the US CO2 emission is huge.
I might be an exception here but I much prefer the whiteboard. I have one in my room and I enjoy problem solving. Pressure environments really do not impact me much. And if you have a whiteboard in your office and you do use it for actual work and not just interviews, this gives me an excellent opportunity to check your quality as a future problem solving accomplice. It provides me a real if brief window into what working with you would be like and I like that.
Having said that, market realities are what they are and I will probably take a month off when I can afford it and put some substantial code out in the wild. Can't hurt to have both bases covered. I will still like to make the point in here that I will be doing this because of the perceived business climate not because I really want to.
I write lots of code just for the sheer pleasure of it. None of it is publicly available though nor would I like to share it. Shipping code is a lot of work. The other day I wrote a quick app at my end to analyze and make sense of some parts of a project that I am about to take on. It does what it needs to but if I had to ship it, I would want to proof read it and describe it's purpose to a general audience and make it at least general enough to have some utility outside my immediate needs. That's a lot of work. I write a lot of code for fun and profit. Writing code and publishing/sharing code are two very different things.
How did you arrive at that from the op? India's gini index has been quite stable[1]. India only makes about 50 billion or so a year in revenue from outsourcing[2].
There is a school of thought[1] that believes, that to a certain extent, this is true of natural human languages too! Some rules of grammar might just be hard-wired into the brain and not learnt as we grow up.
Depression is at the end of the day not a single illness. It's like cancer in that. Just like there are all kinds of cancer and what worked for yours might not work for others, so it is with depression. Behavioral activation might have been effective for you and you might have been able to snap out of it, most cases of depression don't have that luxory.
Skimming allows me to draw my own signal to noise line in the sand which is important irrespective of however good the default signal is. I will never be interested in reading 204 comments about this topic however good they may be. I am definitely interested in reading the top 12 or so. This experiment is horrible.
This is a nightmare. Please end this. There are 201 comments in this thread at this moment. I am not interested in reading 201 comments about this experiment. I am however very much interested in seeing what the top few most insightful comments in this thread are. That is a very important signal. Right now I am feeling blind as a bat...
(Seriously, that productivity multiplier is not more than a decade away. Humanoid and mostly remotely controlled. Americans will put these to a far greater effect than Indians or Chinese.)
