According to that reasoning, babies are coders too.

We should totally act as if we had a von Neumann-Morgenstern utility function though

I'll hold on to accepting WFH articles as valid when there isn't a pandemic around and lock downs all over the world.

Can a general practitioner call himself a generalist? How many subfields does a mechanical engineer need to be competent in before they can be labeled a generalist? What about lawyers?
336.
by Dudeman112 6y ago
What does it imply?
337.
by Dudeman112 6y ago
I don't think there are many fields out there where you'd need comparatively that much expertise in so many subfields before you got to call yourself a generalist.

If a generalist is better at X than an X specialist, do you even get to call them an X specialist?

Should've added /s instead of relying on sarcasm detection.

I wonder what makes nerds like us end up with that opinion. Surely anyone that reaches adulthood ought to know that selling yourself well and having some damn good looks will bring your farther than just being the real deal? It takes some h

I see even HN needs '/s' . You'd think stating that marketing doesn't matter and everyone has time to develop analytics would trigger some sarcasm detection somewhere

by Dudeman112 6y ago
I think you're being silly. As long as your product is good enough, no one needs a marketing budget or to measure if marketing is working. And everyone has the resources and time to make their own analytics tools, if they need it, inst

Have you managed to isolate the mental impact of furlough from the mental impact of the pandemic and possibly killing granny if you go out to meet people?

I agree with you. Science making is bound to go wrong if it needs regular people's approval to be done. Electricity would never have been a thing if we adopted that behavior from the get go

Or maybe it's just a trait that ended up there, like countless others. A RNG machine that's slightly directed towards optimal variation still spews out a bunch of rubbish

I don't think practicing how to spin up a hello world web app from zero is gonna be very good at teaching you how it works inside. Most of the inner working is hidden

Yup, constant context switching is costly. And yet most people's code (in my team at least) after 6-7 hours of work tend to be crap and is usually refactored later when they are fresh. For it to count as "constant" in humans

Excessive levels of obsession can lead to unhealthy behaviors that might reduce the overall amount of what you make out of it. Alternatively: people generally can walk further than they can run.

Maybe he meant 70s-80s? God knows 10 years ago is always gonna feel like 1990.

If your website has two non thumbnail images in it, the 30KB library is gonna become a rounding error in the load time

Except most people don't already spend 40h per week reading books or practicing their crafts. If they spent 47h per week doing it, people would call it unhealthy too. (or dedicated, if they have no sense of healthy temperance at all)

How do you keep non poor relationships if you are just transitioning between work/sleep states? You can't keep relationships if the time spent on a relationship tends to 0.
