When you look into the edge cases developer productivity is really tough to understand. It's easy as the engineer yourself to see your own productivity as easy to understand, but if you are ever in the position of trying to assess some

This is something people always claim, but this explanation assumes that everyone is "colluding". The guy who wants to get a promotion and get paid 50% more cause he has 3 kids isn't going to play along, he is going to at lea

For me it was similar, but I think it was more about a lack of a natural friction. Normally when coding there was the "hit" of seeing something work, but the actually planning/coding/debugging would eventually wear me ou

Being able to know someone's risk factor would be important for how we treat elderly people. I know someone who is 85 and super sharp (previously worked as a corporate accountant and banker), they still have a better memory than a lot

I don't know that you can broadly say "religion" I'm not a Buddhist but from my surface level understanding of Buddhism it might be the case that that person needs to save themselves when they have had some negative expe

I've seen this in Asia, there's an employee who basically is standing at a raised spot in the corner and if you take out your phone they shoot a small laser pointer right into the camera, it messes with the video. They can't

When you say leave behind...do you mean you lose something by not interacting with them, or do you mean that you have some kind of duty to help get them un-addicted? I don't think you are obligated to go hangout at your local bar once

Doesn't delegating make this a lot more possible? You can fire off a request to a sub-agent, they respond with some predictable status that you can parse, and then you continue (you being the "main" agent), so the context win

I assume you mean electric cars since they were more of a "real product", but I have to say I think they were pushed too early and too fast. I am super curious how many early Nissan Leafs quickly ended up in the landfill due to th

Maybe in our system this is true. If you believe the latest surveys (I didn't see them publish their methodology) countries like China have way higher optimism about AI than the West, so maybe its a class privilege because we expect on

This is a case of a list of facts that are pretty meaningless. For most countries they say you get leave, but it doesn't count for part time workers, or contractors obviously, or people like farmers who are outside the typical work sys

This is very imprecise data that I have, but my understanding is that pre-covid Tokyo was around 8M yen median household income, and a median home was around 60M yen, so roughly 7-8x the median HHI. Now it's around 80M for a new home a

I do always find it funny when people online bring up Japan as the leader of keeping housing affordable. Pretty sure the average income to house price ratio in Tokyo is much worse than it is in major US cities. (If I'm wrong on that da

It's possible for something to be both an asset and a potential liability, it isn't strictly one or the other.

I don't think what I experience is the exact same (maybe a different intensity), so I don't know if this will make sense. For me caffeine makes it a lot worse, I'm pretty sensitive, on a lot of days I can't even drink a

You can, but I don't trust software for these types of niche but critical tasks hah. Next thing I know I'd be reading a headline about how "bug in print to PDF actually retains XYZ metadata"

I'm trying to understand this cause it sounds fascinating but I don't get it. I don't have an advanced understanding of compression so that might be part of why. If you compare an image to another image, you could guess by co

It's funny seeing this play out because in my personal life anytime I'm sharing a sensitive document where someone needs to see part of it but I don't want them to see the rest that's not relevant, I'll first block

I was at a waterpark as a young teen and ended up trying the wave pool, but even being tall for my age I was shorter than a typical adult. When I first went out the waves weren't turned on/going yet, but once the waves started eve

You can still recreate that life right now if you want, but people are choosing not to (I also choose not to so I'm not saying it's some requirement to do so). You can get a piece of land and have a simple house on it, get a wood

Between the vitamin D error (this affected US and Europe and probably more places) and the sodium/blood pressure study that was misleading if not outright false, it's amazing how a few data points can become widespread advice with

Aren't we all consuming just by being alive? It becomes consumerism when it's taken too far but I don't think any human being can ever stop consuming.

I think you and the person you are responding to are saying the same thing? I don't think they literally meant public transit can't be profitable in any scenario, they meant that it takes a conscious choice to put money into trans

Not an expert but I think it has a lot to do with what gets prioritized by the government and other groups. Tax breaks and other support aren't infinite and where they (any given government) chooses to use them makes a big impact.

At the risk of making it more complicated than it's worth, you really need multiple indexes. Population and GDP are possible metrics, but they still don't capture everything. If we take universities as an example there's an a
