I haven't followed personas closely. Do you have examples of Sam Altman saying deceptive but technically true things?

That's interesting. I've come to view execs and "leadership teams" as having a parasitic function on an otherwise vibrant host. It will be interesting to see if AI takes out the top instead of the bottom. My money is sti

Your parent is confused. There's a difference between absorbing losses to stay alive while you try to get a product to market and deliberately losing money per sale because you want to drive the competitor out of business. No squinting

That sounds really neat. I spent a couple weeks trying to publish all my notes using org-mode, and it was pretty frustrating to find all these key bindings on the net that didn't actually work in my setup. A bare setup where you could

Some googling tells me that isomorphic SPA means the same page can be rendered server side or client side. Is that what it means to you? It's my first time encountering the term. If so ... people were doing that in react??

That's interesting. I remember having to defend my using ruby to other programmers around that time. I always loved it, and all the hate seemed to be centered around "it's too slow". No one ever brought up twitter being

There's really no good stats on SF car jackings, unfortunately. The SFPD crime data is too coarse to discriminate carjackings from other car theft. I think the best you could do, unfortunately, is comb news stories and try to get a sen

Do you have a specific minute in this podcast that you recommend starting at?

Is this actually true? I remember seeing SFPD post stuff on twitter like, "13th time this perp has been brought in, still no charges". They were getting the same guy over and over. It could have been a one-off, but I suppose they

On the other hand, a good time to debate about how to make our cities safer is now. Today. Bob Lee's tragic death can be a catalyst. The loss must be immeasurable to his family. Wow. That doesn't mean we should throw our hands up

It's a good ask. I have perused the SFPD crime stats and left dissatisfied. If someone can compel this to provide a longer timeframe, I think it would be helpful: https://www.sanfranciscopolice.org/stay-safe/crime-

I guess I shouldn't be surprised by the "this is fine" comments here, but I am. Geological changes happen in geological time (outside of massive disruptive events). This change happened in 100 years. Also, comparing this to c

In the Great Courses vein, I really loved "great ideas of philosophy". Another favorite is "a history of freedom".

by CTmystery 4y ago
Thanks for stating this so clearly. I am always confused why data flow frameworks, DSLs, or other syntactic sugar inevitably gets entangled with functional programming. Once more logic is in stateless functions and easy to test and compose

From a circuit perspective, it seems trivial to open a switch back to the grid to prevent grid-feed, while still feeding the internal circuit that is the house. Can you help me understand why this is hard?

I read "This changes everything: capitalism vs the climate" by Naomi Klein. I bought it several years back. By complete accident, I read it immediately after "Lame Deer Seeker of Visions". It was a nice one two punch. Th

I actually don't think it's a bad take. Everyone theoretically falls somewhere on a spectrum of "optimum sleep requirements". That's a given. What I take from the advice is that you may be well above your optimum. I

You have to be the most sensible programmer I've run into here. If I could plus one a single section of your post it would be the "Good software is <bullets> none of which depends on the language". Had me nodding excite

Reading this makes me feel quite insecure in my own comprehension of these books. I've read Pale King, Infinite Jest, Consider the Lobster, and Broom of the System. I liked them all. But I read this article and I don't really unde
