That’s why there’s the “swap” rule.

I was distracted by this passage: > What this argument misses is that the stakes of bad economics are often far higher than bad physics: being wrong about gravitational waves may cost you tenure, but being wrong about the minimum wage mi

I thought the article was just another one of those low-effort rants about specialist language. However, after reading it through, it was really a well-thought-out criticism of filler words (jargon-y and otherwise) that, when subjected to m

> If I were to venture out, a lot of these things are part of a good strategy. Bingo! Strategy cannot exist without establishing the destination and stating the destination is useless without specifying how one intends to get there.

That’s a great question and will be your homework for this week. :-) On a more serious note, the answer really depends on your situation. I.e. what investment products are accessible to you and how much risk you can tolerate.

I’m curious about how you do it. Could you share your process? (I’m currently looking, so knowing about concrete examples might help me)

This is true for me even though I haven’t lasted more than 3 years for each of my previous 3 employers. Domain knowledge, it seems to me, is the hardest to get up to speed on because you can’t google or SO that sh*t!

TL;DR: (1) Maintain a good credit score, (2) Maintain an emergency fund enough for X months, (3) Invest some of your extra money.

I thought it was interesting that an article that talks about the dangers of generalizing (aka standardizing) based on a few data points is, itself, generalizing based on a few data points.

With a microservices architecture, it's still possible to locally optimize each microservice but then end up with a global architecture that is far from ideal. It seems to me that Tim's starting point was exactly that.

This has been my experience as well! This is why, if I have enough time to do it, I'd normally go through at least 2 throw-away prototypes before settling on a design to implement.

There’s no need to make further assumptions about the author (who btw took the time to build a very useful tool and share to in the Internet for free). Just point out the issue of the GIF and move along.

Fair point. In the end, all these security measures that we’re using are really just a form of “security through obscurity,” isn’t it. ;-)

You’re blaming ordinary citizens of Russia for a war they did not choose. These citizens have very little freedom of speech (because Putin) yet you ask them to speak up. Would you speak up if you lived in Russia and knowing that you could b

Agreed. It’s like cornering a bear: at some point it won’t care if it dies, it will just attack with whatever means available.

I agree with your assertion that they would’ve been invaded regardless. In that sense Ukraine’s recent actions only served to accelerate the invasion. That’s not to say Ukraine didn’t have valid reasons for their actions. Geopolitics is mes

Is Ukraine totally blameless on this though? It seems like they allowed themselves to be duped by the self-serving prodding of the west. West: “dude, poke that bear. I promise we’ll be here to help you in case it attacks.” Ukraine: “here, h

I also have a database I created with Airtable! Although I’m rather weary of using “free” 3rd-party systems and considering using one I have better control over. I’m thinking an SQLite db with a separate open source data viewer/editor
