Yes, fortunately we've learned from that mistake and I don't think are repeating that this time around. People really are qualified to buy these days, and there just isn't enough supply of housing to go around.

I think you bring up really great points, and it's probably the main reason there isn't more heterogeneity. There is a nice middle ground though, in customizable keyboards with macro buttons. I have the ErgoDox which is a split ke

Lowering interest rates makes capital cheaper, which does spur investment and thus economic development, so, it can certainly have that effect given the right circumstances. But keep it too low, too long, and you see money start flying arou

You feel that way now, but humans are social creatures. Interacting with others will change how you feel.

You probably know that light has a speed, right? It takes time for light to get from point A to point B. Even from our Sun, light takes around 8 minutes to reach us. From that, you are actually viewing the Sun (relative to yourself) from ab

Currently using Prisma and Remix which both have some weight behind them and are pretty easy to get going with.

I built a small application that lets you put together travel guides for your friends. Very MVP at the moment, but I got it out the door for once. No landing page, "start your trial" doesn't actually make you pay anything, I

It is fascinating that we've developed a sense of aesthetics around this, though I suppose it is to be expected with how much we are oriented around language. I personally use 1TBS wherever possible. It just looks the cleanest to me.

In a similar vein, Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl. It's about an Austrian psychologist who experiences the holocaust firsthand. It's partly a description of the events that unfold, but also his thesis on his work c

I.e. try to send some e-mails without the log4j vuln syntax (just put your IP) and see if you still get hit. It's just the fact that there is the IP, not that it happens to use the jndi syntax.

Have you tried volunteering? Service is an important component in mental health. It shows you that you can make an impact and do good for others, and there are plenty of people out there that need you to help them. It also helps you foc

Yeah, I think I'm mostly convinced that the lifestyle is what I want, but I'm not totally sure. The lifestyle that a FAANG salary affords is not so bad either.

I would love to consider this, just have the golden handcuffs situation and have no idea how I'd even come close to current salary (average for FAANG, minus equity). Do you feel like you make as much as you did FT?

Can you pass a Full-Scope Polygraph and do you want to move to DC? Lots of security folks around here that make good money. First thing that comes to mind is Red Teaming (offensive hacking, basically), and writing or reversing malware. But

I bought in Northern Virginia this year, and lost 3 or 4 offers to competitors that were 15-20% over asking. Standard was always no contingencies (no inspection, no financing, nothing) and settle as fast as the mortgage company could underw

The problem with Pho and Ramen is that there isn't' an easy way. The reason it is so damn good is because it has 8+ hours to break down gelatin and collagen in animal bones. With Ramen, there are so many other components to it t

I can approach 150-160, depending on the test. I think it's because I've been playing video games since I was 7 years old, before they had voice chat. In those early days, you did a lot of typing. I imagine it is similar to any ot

Did you take inspiration from Luca Lampariello? He's a polyglot YouTuber and has a similar approach, of written translation to and from L1 and L2. That community on YouTube may offer a source of ideas, and potentially even some marketi

I use Bear. It is straightforward Markdown with nested tagging via hashtags (just put #tag or #one/two in the note), and syncs across my Apple devices.

That is a great philosophy to have, and a great description of these hindsight opportunities.
