Meh. Reading between the lines here, I would guess she was taking resources from other managers for whatever this “personal” work was, and they called her on it leading to her resignation. Now the news of the investigation comes out… not s

I still see them every year. The absolute number seems to wax and wane, but I think their peak is pretty short, like a day or two, so if you don’t time it juuuuuust right, you aren’t going to see as much. But take that with a grain of salt

I get what he’s saying though. There can be great joy and a positive feeling of “losing yourself” in your work when you actually get to create. I think his role and and the internal bureaucracy prevented him from using that creative energ

Probably. What drove me away more than ads is that I can’t find any good content that is less than 20min long. The “algorithm” feeds me shit that, yes I’m interested in, but is longer than a sitcom! (and drove creators to optimize for lon

Good stuff. To give google a little credit, google talk is what killed off AIM for everyone I knew. Mostly because you could knock out chat and email on one page and it was cool cuz google was not yet being evil and then eventually they h

When you learn about a tool, actually think about a specific situation/use case where you would actually use it. Try it out as soon as you learn about it. I find I can only do one tool at a time. You remember it better if it’s som

But does “code quality” matter if all you need is a black box calculation that spits out the right answer every time, and has done so for the past 50 years? Put all the damn goto statements in there you want, as long as I don’t have to look

Is it really more than a Craigslist copy? I mean, I guess it succeeds in replacing Craigslist, but there’s no way it’s gunning for Amazon.

I remember reading Richard Bransons autobiography, and there’s a line in there about him watching what his kids where into that led him to get into some business that’s was a huge success. Don’t remember any more details, but they are the

I use vim a ton, but I guess never the complex movements as much, because if I want to do anything ever so slightly complex, I've got to sit there and think about it more than I really should... There is just too much for it all to end

I kinda use both. vim and my ~/.vimrc have all my sensible settings and keybindings and leader keys stuff and stays lightweight, good for just text editing or reading whatever quickly. no plugins at all really. For neovim I tried to

I stumbled across your vids a few months ago after I decided to checkout neovim & try for the full "vim as an IDE" experience. They are defiantly some of the most helpful videos I came across, great work!

Na, it’s gotta be something dumb on the big G’s part. I bet their unit tests for their DCMA search have test cases with simple files like 1 and 0, and those cases are just put into the “copyright” database.

Wow, Agreed. The window shadows here really help them pop way more than I remember, and they seem to do a much better job delineating overlapping windows than the current “styles”.

Yeah I stumbled upon them years ago just looking to get a nice drafting pencil. Then I got sucked into all sorts of pens, watercolors, and wooden pencils. Maybe I’ll try out some fancy paper next (I’ll take recommendations), but I never fi

Sounds like you're worrying about it a lot. Kids can sense stress, they can also sense other emotions, just treat them with love and smile and laugh with them and don't worry if they are a "little behind". They will fig
