I think it depends on how you measure top 10% in a video game (especially the MMORPGs Asmongold plays), being a top 10% player by stats is a function of play time and 'grind'. People actively looking at top 10% players can have mo

I've posted about this before, but this is just the hollowing out of the "middle" of the value curve. Most people want something that's good enough, and they're not willing to pay for something that's N+1 good

I feel like teaching is mostly a one size fits all endeavor, but people learn and think in different ways, just like a processor is optimized for some operations but not others. Take simple arithmetic like 12x17. Some people do the long for

I think it all comes down to priorities. "Adults" are the ones that seem to have the best balance of those (for the location/culture) with the most experience living out those values (aka they learned it from their parents).

Sometimes sites have code that triggers in debug mode and keeps it in a loop. Any tips there, or is the "break and modify source to remove it" the only way?

But phones without user replaceable batteries have advantages like water resistance, size, weight, etc. If you mandate everything has to have replaceable batteries, you restrict the ability for consumers to choose devices that prioritize ot

Poker being one of my favorite hobbies (probably 300k hands played lifetime), it's wild how much variance matters. Like a 4BB/100 winrate (aka you win 4 big blinds every 100 hands) is very much an "I can be a professional&quo

I think Google still deserves a ton of credit. Online shopping is tricky, but information is incredibly easy to access, especially if you do know how to avoid clicking on Quora or WebMD style sites. Google does a great job of shepherding yo

Not OP, but fwiw I think there are 2: Having the communications skills and domain knowledge to understand what problem needs to be solved and why, and having the technical skill to do that in the most direct manner that closely matches thos

Overengineering is part ego, sure, part new technologies and boredom, sure. The biggest factor I've found in overengineering is the lack of a long term roadmap. If you need to build a feature X, and you engineer the bare minimum and ne

I mean, a ton of people spend time driving, freeing that time would be huge efficiencies. Not to mention that it would mean cars can be shared between people, hugely reducing cost of operation and greenhouse emissions. Parking areas are red

I think that's what's weird about it. You're not paid for your work, you're paid for the value your work is expected create (although of course there are inefficiencies). Someone with experience in a higher level role ca

I think it's less about the technology than the organizational structure. If you have more than one monolith (aka any company with an acquisition) you either have to have it in code in two places (gross) or as a library. If you have it

Did they really not fire anyone or close any buildings (reducing wear and tear)? It seems like their fixed costs do decrease significantly. Facilities upkeep is incredibly expensive and needs a lot of staff to make happen.

I'm a manager for two dev teams (~10 people) my breakdown per week is: * 2.5h for 30 minute 1:1s for people that want them once a week * 1.25h for 30 minutes 1:1s for people that want them every other week * 2.5h for team standup (15 m

1 minute a month (upper bound) is hardly a deal breaker. If you were adjusting the watch regularly without hacking (as a pilot) you'd have an error rate that's probably close to 10x higher. 10+ minutes a month WOULD make a differe

You already see this. Google "NFL oxygen masks". I'm sort of surprised I haven't heard about it in the context of shorter physical sports: I'd wonder what effect it would have on an 100m/200m/400m time or

Yea, I feel like these people never got a chron daily data dump (times N customers). Scaling is dead simple, and there isn't a need (or ability) to instantaneously handle large bursty workloads in like 99% of cases. Longer SLAs mean it

Amateur guitar player here, I feel like sometimes I don't know if my fingers have gotten the concept or if I've just learned a difficult passage by rote. I'd love to have something that generates the same right hand picking p

My take on remote work as a manager for a company with significant name recognition: I think it's clear some people prefer working remotely (and the online hacker news crowd leans heavily that way). It's also clear that some peopl

I think any system that wants to store assets would expect to store >$50 eventually and the incentives grow correspondingly.

What's the next play for Reddit leadership? I feel like it's just a "wait and hope it all blows over?". If they don't change, are all of these subreddits going to stay dark? If the subreddits do stay dark, how long

It's really quick fuel that leads to an insulin spike that triggers more fat storage and eventually leads to insulin resistance.

I used to be a diehard scrum advocate (though I've always been focused on results and not just process as magic). I've felt in my latest role, scrum doesn't cut it. Problems: - Larger team: I can't swarm developers on a

I think I agree with you on principle, but temps higher than 100 are totally fine in a lot of cases. Hot tubs are at 102-106. 120°F takes you like 10 minutes to suffer serious burns. But 140° will cause burns in seconds. I've seen cook

Useless? No. Possibly open to being faked? Yes. Lots of ways to sign photos and videos today that should make them fully verifiable in the future (assuming public/private key cryptography remains secure). For stuff that isn't sign

But it wouldn't be validated with the original key, so people could know it could have been tampered with.

If I have a CD, that CD is often not time locked, it just has a penalty for early withdrawal (X months of interest or whatever). If I don't trust that the bank can give me the money, it doesn't matter if it's in a CD or check
