In the past 3 months, did you use Google's "I'm feeling lucky"? #feelinglucky

@HyattConcierge Just followed. Thx

@Inventitech I am sorry to hear that you are having issues gaining your folio for all nights of your recent stay. Please follow us @HyattConcierge so that our team is able to assist you via DM. ^Melissa

I have recently noticed that deadlines in SE venues (even prestigious ones!) get extended on short notice. When I was doing my PhD, this used to not be a thing. Has anything recently changed? On all PCs I was on lately, there were lots of submissions, so why extend?

I wrote a little piece on "What AI means for junior developers". > AI is fundamentally different than previous abstractions such as compilers > I'm afraid the field of computing might be getting tougher for juniors in particular inventitech.com/blog/what-ai-m…

Following my previous podcasts, I'm proud to share our pre-print: "What's DAT? Three Case Studies of Measuring Software Development Productivity at Meta With Diff Authoring Time" arxiv.org/abs/2503.10977

@svpino Except both profiles are significantly less valued than SWEs.

Data Engineers are making fortunes building data pipelines. I can't think of anything more important than learning how to deal with data for the next 20 years. Here are a few steps I'd recommend to people who want to learn one of the most in-demand skills in the market right now: 1. Build a strong foundation in programming (especially Python and Java) 2. Practice SQL and learn how to work with relational databases. 3. Become familiar with NoSQL databases and handling unstructured data. 4. Learn the basics of data structures (arrays, lists, trees, graphs) and algorithms (sorting, searching, etc.) 5. Become familiar with tools like Hadoop, Spark, Kafka, Airflow, Luigi, Prefect, and Kinesis. 6. Learn how to implement data pipelines and ETL 7. Gain experience with cloud computing (AWS, GCP, Azure.) 8. Learn containerization and orchestration (Docker and Kubernetes) 9. Become proficient with data warehousing (Snowflake, Redshift, BigQuery) 10. Understand CI/CD pipelines to automate testing, deployment, and integration. The Data Engineering Nanodegree program in @Udacity is pure fire. It's a 2-month course that covers every one of the topics above. You'll come out on the other side as a new person. Everywhere I go, companies need to process data as fast as they produce it. It's hard to find people who know how to do this well, but companies are willing to pay exceptionally well for this. If you want to start 2025 with a bang, this course is for you! Link in the next post so I don't get throttled.

Unverständlich, ARD & ZDF! Die aktuelle Kanzlerpräferenz: Merz 26% Habeck 25% Scholz 18% Und ihr wollt im Ernst ein Duell Merz-Scholz senden? Merz-Habeck wäre mit Sicherheit die interessantere Debatte, wenn es denn ein Duell sein soll.

@headinthebox Let me circle back to you with our learnings as a fast follow, once I have bandwidth to bend the curve.

The advantage of being a gentleman scientist is no shit like this anymore!

How do you measure developer productivity? @Inventitech and Sarita join the @MetaTechPod to discuss Diff Authoring Time (DAT) – a way of measuring how long it takes to submit changes to a codebase. Hear how DAT unlocks new abilities for developers. engineering.fb.com/2024/10/25/dev…

The Netherlands is one of the most sci-fi places on earth The Dutch deserve a new word: hydropunk Over centuries, they have created & maintained one of the most advanced water management systems on the planet

I just formatted a scientific paper abstract with @Inventitech's Abstract Formatter. abstractformatter.inventitech.com

At this point it's obvious that the Nobel for Literature is going to ChatGPT.

So odd when the clear market leader in the hottest tech field today (AI) is seeing a steady stream of departures: cofounders, executives. The people who have the most internal details on current status and future plans. They have far more information than us on the outside.

@triviumcolombia Yup, looks very muscular for a woman whose primary aim is not being a pro body builder (& who isn't supposed to 'help' nature).

👀

@AIDRIVR Amazing, and still not that great compared to an attentive human. I measured time to break at around 2s at least. You can actually see the human back off again, possibly because he got scared. Avg. human achieve << 1s. jdpower.com/cars/shopping-… Way to go though, Tesla!

Actually Smart Summon was just driving along when some ASShole decided to test its reflexes

@wholemars Have you normalized these numbers for range?

A Toyota Camry has a 15.8 gallon tank. With California average gas prices for regular at $4.63 a gallon, it costs $73.18 for a full tank. A Tesla Model 3 RWD has a 57.5 kWh battery. Assuming a Southern California electrify price of $0.23 per kWh, it costs just $13.22 to charge from 0 - 100 so realistically your average RV charging session will be like $5 or $6 whereas your average gas station stop will cost you $50 - $70 + the value of your time.

@laflammerouge16 That document in general is terrible, formulation-wise.

On a side note, by setting the ITT length to 32.4 km for the Olympic race, the UCI violated their own rules. Again.

@lucasaganronald Honestly, I think he should just go tf for it! When you're having the season of the century, why not? Obvsl. the team also has to be strong enough.

People keep saying on my blog, that Tadej Pogačar certainly shouldn’t do the Vuelta to not to end like Sepp Kuss who has overdone it in a previous season with three GrandTours, hit a wall and now he is struggling. What do you think is true on that? 1/3

@BenjiNaesen @SadhbhOS I guess train has lower probability of your bike getting damaged? But a 69 pound flight *including* your bike: how???

@SadhbhOS Instead of taking a 160 pounds Eurostar with a 45 pound add-on for my bike, I just booked a 69 pound flight with bike included. 🤷‍♂️ From UK to Belgium. 🙈

Eurostar prices being this high is actively incentivising people to use planes instead of trains, and it should be the other way around. 🤷‍♂️

@LeTour @vismaleaseabike @seanquinn321 Clearly, the Visma glue on the bottle does not react with Sean Quinn's EF sweat.

🙂 Nice gesture from the @vismaleaseabike car towards @seanquinn321. 🙂 Petit geste sympa de la voiture @vismaleaseabike envers Sean Quinn. #TDF2024
