Absolutely right. I was terrible at online poker since I wanted to have fun playing it. You can't bluff someone who knows the math in the long run. You'll lose all your money.

Yeah a business where the gross and net income are the same definitely doesn't exist. Taxes, equipment, hosting, setting up interviews, marketing the podcast, selling ad slots...

There seems to be a market for all kinds of lengths. I like the 60-minuteish with some banter but mostly on topic. I mostly listen to podcasts while walking or doing the dishes or something like that so I'm not super focused and the lo

I listened to him for a while but I think 3 hours is too long. It gets boring and you know most of the stories and rants already from having listened to 100's of hours of him talk already.

Same with many news/political podcasts. Hearing speculation about things that now have actually happened are 90% pretty boring a few weeks later.

Could be the size of the files. Atom at least used to just crash when you opened a file too big.

I'm sure there are some much more egregious and systematic violators of what we consider fair drug pricing and much worse, but they actually have the money and power that Shkreli thought he had to stay out of the limelight. Well.. he w

Wow do people still use these languages enough for them to be in the top 20? I wrote a lot of Pascal after Basic and some Delphi when it came out but I haven't heard anything about either in like 15-20 years.

But but but they're our allies! There's definitely some selective enforcement of our ideals. As long as it doesn't get in the way of military or business it's fine. This is the country that financed 9/11. It's

This "index fund" is made out of four currencies, BTC, ETH, LTC, BTC cash. Just buy a bunch of those and you're "investing" in their "index". Also you don't have to pay their fee for their immense exp

For sure. Russia and China have their most keen global political leaders in a generation and the US is infighting.

I have a feeling 10 years from now Trump will be funny blip on the radar of how crazy the '10s were while Asia will be quite meaningfully transformed. I wish this was getting as much attention as BREAKING NEWS: Trump/staffer did s

Sites like reddit, Twitter and Facebook are more like feeding a dopamine addiction. It's not really a healthy break to take. Taking breaks is good if you go for a walk, talk to a co-worker, meditate, grab a coffee, do some stretches, g

I agree and working at a place like id Software is definitely not the place to get complacent. Lots of big enterprise companies are totally fine with that type of work though and you can easily get through your whole career without ever wor

The growth of games is 99% from bigger and better assets though, not bolted on frameworks.

The DOM is about the worst structure for text editing I can think of..

by ahtu123 9y ago
It's still important to not create ridiculous software. The majority of devices have batteries and sloppy programming will kill the uptime. That's the main reason I delete things. One editor I can run for 8 hours on a full battery

Following the current trajectory, the next cool text editor will ship with a full hidden Linux VM.

I'm always amazed when I see the size of the Atom executable on my computer(438MB). It's the size of a game! It's also pretty much the worst performing text editor (in runtime for most operations) and a memory hog. I really d

Also don't give up on the first dud of a meetup. You need to check out a handful to find a good fit.

It works well the other way too. Go to a bookclub about a topic you're interested and you might be surprised to find how much in common you have with people who you otherwise might have thought were completely different (different care

Isn't it the same for any large city?

I've been working remotely for 3 years now and found some different struggles than the author. Everyone living within 1 hour of each other is quite different than being a global team. We're always struggling to fit in even really

Imagine it's 8pm and you try to work 9-5. You get an email or slack message, you just quickly glance at it and it sounds like there's a tiny fire somewhere in the system that you know how to fix/respond to. It's very eas

It's a fine fix but many companies don't pay for that so you're out $200+ a month in a large city. It also gets complicated if you take the home office deduction

Alphabet is already taken so I guess they'll be the Numeric Table or something.

Not during the opium wars period but I love a movie called To Live. It's about a family's struggles with adjusting for the insanity of the cultural revolution. Lots of dark humor and I was super impressed by the scope of it. The f
