Wow thanks for linking that. Great talk. I'm always on the lookout for talks about interesting and generally useful concepts, but where I can follow only a small part of them. Makes me feel like I can learn and grow into a wiser person

This is a great take and is simultaneously optimistic and pessimistic. I think you're optimistic about the right things though in that getting stuff done at an individual level has never been more valuable. Likewise, learning facts in

It tops my list of impactful books for sure. I feel like GEB can't even properly be described as being "about" anything in particular. It seems to evade capture in the same way that the formal systems that it describes evade

From my understanding, that is what architecture.md is for. 1 doc to describe the current state and reasons for it, rather than 1 doc per change.

Investment income relative to wealth is the best classifier for wealth class. When one person's net annual income is another's net wealth, they're in different classes. This puts most people in the .middle class with about 10

Very cool! Glad this exists :D I notice that there aren't that many listings though, and many of the listings are from the same companies. Is this because there simply aren't many listings for 4 day weeks? Or is it just difficult

You're a wizard, Harry! There's a great book on this called the wizard and the prophet. Might be worth a read if you want to know more. My personal take is that the risks of high population growth are insanely huge. Science and te

On one hand, Good! Planet is overpopulated relative to how much we damage the planet. Current population growth rates are not sustainable long term without massive technological improvements, and it's not worth the risk to assume that

Functional programming trends killed it imo. Map filter reduce make up a big part of the code I write and it takes longer to write the hard-to-read UML version of those than it does to write the actual implementation.

This is a common list. So common it makes me wonder how unusual it is that I have no trouble focusing with visual distractions. I'm using the basement bar as a gigantic standing desk with tons of monitors, a desktop, and cables everywh

I keep a git repository with mostly markdown files. Its secure, searchable, free, updatable and retrievable anywhere. I can edit it easily with my favorite text editor of the day. I can also include other file types. Knowledge itself I keep

Seconding this. I'm a big fan of dagre due to its layouting. Curious if this can do the same...

So I do agree with you from a certain point of view, but from another point of view, 3% seems too low. Consider that this is a very large transaction for an asset that changes in price over time, and no two homes are the same. Even buying c

The gas idea is interesting, and gave me another idea. Assuming that you could track an object, I wonder how much much you could slow down/redirect debris using air resistance. The idea would be to fill a balloon with air, and then rel

Plenty of things are intuitive if you have the right mental model backing it. I'd wager some folks thing of all/any as "at least one True"/"Everything is true", which makes it a trickier think. Mental mode

Is it just me or does it seem like there something like there were a lot of celebrity-level STEM heroes to come out of the early 20th century. These folks all seemed to work together closely. Maybe these things take time, but it just doesn&

Yep. This is a killer feature for me. I have a ton of scripts that open new split screens and ssh into things to tail logs or others that ssh, change users, start some other console/repl/shell, then run a few commands in that. I&#

Works great till you want to copy a ton of text. I frequently need to look up some command to dump the tmux scrollback to a local file because I could only get a couple thousand lines from the buffer. It's the best option I've fou

You're not wrong. That's a good example of why someone might have beef with typescript. But as others have been saying, tooling enabling faster dev is one of the main reasons people use typescript. Safety comes second for most fol

I've seem some larger projects at bigger organizations where extensive wikis were available. I'm pretty sure updating docs/wikis was part of the "definition of done" on a task. Problem was, most of the devs were ter

I grant API access to my friend. That is a direct relationship. I don't grant API access to people that my friend grants API access to. If one grant allowed for another grant, by that logic you could chain all the way down to any conne

I just came up with a variation to this off the top of my head. A QA engineer walks into a bar. She orders a beer. She walks out of the bar. She walks into the bar. She walks into the bar. She walks out of the bar. She walks out of the bar.

Personally, I really value the fact that tmux has a nice, clean api to manage windows and panes. I have a few scripts which run a bunch of tmux commands to create new windows with multiple panes for logging/consoles/source code fo
