I've read Writing an Interpreter in Go and Writing a Compiler in Go. Crafting Interpreters is on my bookshelf and on the list to get through Soon™. The latter books by Thorsten Ball are an incredibly approachable introduction to the to

What was the point of this comment? It's confrontational and doesn't add anything to the conversation. If you disagree, you could have just said that, or not commented at all.

While not versed in French law or their view of personal liberties, from an American lens, this seems fine. Barring running from public office could be reversible on appeal and that stipulation isn’t irreversible—you could run after the ban

In that particular instance, that pilot also mentioned there were issues with engine oil pressure, IIRC, and the fuel filter was scheduled to be replaced after the long haul flight over water. Those concerning data points were what led to h

I generally agree. I think we're in a hype cycle and there will be a correction. I'm hopeful that people will be more realistic about it being a tool and not a panacea. For OpenAI, though, they have to talk up AGI and Universal Ba

> Social Security 15.3 (you count employer side too because its money they can't pay you suppressing wages) Nit: this is disingenuous. If an employer didn’t have to pay that part of the tax, they wouldn’t pass it on to you. They’d p

They said it perfectly. The top marginal rate was 90%. The effective rate was much lower, but it effectively capped cash salaries, largely for executives.

That’s a great way to never expand the frontier of knowledge. We don’t know the returns on the investment of a Moon program ahead of time, but exploration drives human knowledge forward. If we only ever funded things that had a clear econom

I was thinking about this the other day. What we need is a tax on businesses that don't pay the area's single-income, livable wage. If companies pay more, they get out of the tax. If they pay less, they pay the tax. That tax then

I typically drink 2.3-3.4 liters of water a day, in addition to the water in food I eat. I imagine that recommendation does take into account water content in food, though.

No, I can't agree that these models surpass human intelligence. Sure, they're good at probabilistic recall, but they aren't reasoning and they aren't synthesizing anything novel.

At least historically, unions would have strike funds to at least ease the burden of lost income. Collective bargaining agreements would surely include backpay for workers to return to work, as well.

No, there's nothing intrinsically wrong about not progressing past senior. Most companies see that as a terminal level because staff+ is such a shift in skillset. It's fascinating to me that you've not attained the senior lev

I'm hoping that means the Ultra 3 will be more interesting later on, in some way. Maybe a 51mm circular option to compete with Garmin on form factor? Maybe a bigger battery? It's disappointing they broke the lockstep release of th

I'm confused as to how housing is a retirement investment. I get not having a housing payment in retirement, but how do you gain on the appreciation? In my view, you never do. It's your heirs who do, which makes real estate a st

At the same time, it seems like in some circles Dublin Core is what got metadata standardization started. I encountered it as an older format in the mid-2010s when working on data discoverability for geospatial datasets. At the time, we wer

Yeah, I agree with this take. I think making an issue of unrealized gains isn't the real story here. Using unrealized gains/assets as collateral is the way the ultra-wealthy avoid large swaths of income tax. I see two reasonable p

From what I understand, it’s over the controversy in his statement about Google losing competitive advantage because they chose work life balance over in-office collaboration.

A professional management class is a menace. Managers with experience in the domain they’re managing are key. Engineers-evolved-into-managers should lead engineering firms, etc. If you don’t understand what your underlying business is, you’

That's the idea, though. If you're sitting on an undeveloped or underdeveloped parcel of land, you should bear the cost of the value of the land. If it's in a rural area, you can probably weather the tax burden because it&#x2

Same, the services and hardware businesses are the only valid breakup case and it’s true that Apple favors its own services. I’m also in agreement that it’s not clear such a break up would be beneficial.

I think the only case for Apple exerting monopoly power is in the App Store and the iOS walled garden model. If the EU DMA was brought to the US, I don’t see a valid antitrust case against Apple for any other business they do. You could arg

I agree with this take. I find Rust a more exciting language from a personal project perspective—and it's what I go with even when it doesn't make 100% sense. Go is fine, though, and works well in a team environment. It's jus

There are so many other potential carcinogenic culprits that aren't the COVID vaccines that have some shred of scientific literature to back it up. It seems you chose the COVID vaccines as a target of opportunity to push an agenda, not

Yeah, to me, not focusing on those skills is what makes someone a Senior II. I think it needs to be okay for not everyone to make it to staff+ title levels. Those ICs fulfill a different role in the org than a senior engineer. Having multip

I think there's a lot to this and it really boils down to autonomy in our jobs. As the market has tightened, I think autonomy has waned. What was over-hiring during the pandemic is perceived by management as unfocused technical work. R

This also may play to their advantage by delaying the release and review embargo until after Intel delivers their microcode patch so they can have reviews of 9000 series performance stacked against an voltage-capped Intel generation.
