Hard to believe that people still see this as a smart move. Musk has been acting really erratically the last couple of years and was due to fall flat on his face. He's now done that in possibly the worst way. I'm really not sure w

I just find it kind of worrisome that he finds meaning in work that other people are exploited for for a lack of better options. Why would a financially independent person choose to help enrich a large corporation over, say, voluntary work

You can still be anonymous in open source projects. My experience is that nobody cares about your background or ethnicity or (at least) wants to know about your background/ethnicity. If you're a valuable contributor you will be re

Severe pandemics are actually really bad for elites, since large scale death increases the value of employees. See e.g. "The Great Leveler" by Scheidel.

Appel [1] is fairly good for learning compilers. He leaves a lot of the material to the exercises, which are somewhat frustrating,but if you fight through them you'll definitely be rewarded. [1] https://www.cs.princeton.edu&

That's exactly my point. Fukuyama is extremely misunderstood in popular media, he never said that the fall of the soviet union implied continued existence of liberal democracy. If you had actually read the book (and specifically the la

SICP for CS and programming. That book (and its exercises) really instilled in me the thought patterns that drastically improved my programming skills and made me realize how important fundamental CS knowledge is to being a good programmer.
