How could this possibly be faster than a linear classifier? In "Implementation" near Section 2 they claim that their implementation is better than a linear classifier but that seems like it couldn't possibly be true could it? A single floating point operation per parameter has gotta be faster than multiple branches, right?

This is not mathematically necessary at all. This just reads like astroturfing for an overpriced mic retailer.

Pay, Expected Weekly Hours (especially if it's salary), and Tech Stack are the most important to me.

on: I did mob programming every day for 5 months
A person that struggles with CSS and performs better when two other developers are telling them what to do should probably just not be in this industry at all. This sounds like a nightmare for any competent developer.

"Imagine you install analytics on a traditional content site. A few months later you update that site to be a single page application (SPA) without changing your analytics code. Then, a few months after that, you update your site to be a progressive web app (PWA) "

The job search sucks for this guy because he's a front end developer that isn't keeping up with front end developer trends. Which is the thing people pay front end developers to do.

I understand the geometry in this situation and its impact, but if you're on a bicycle and you don't come to a complete stop at an intersection with potentially 40mph cross-traffic, you're going to have a bad time no matter what the angle is.

I don't understand why so many people are hung up on flying cars. It's a huge increase in the energy it takes to get from point A to point B, and for what reason? What do they hope to gain by wasting so much more fuel?
