I mean... tech people are. Even wage workers can get into the millions when stock grants are included.

Sure, but is a lot more complicated than that when you factor in people and companies changing markets, building happening at different price points, etc.

Yes, if that state was reached, we would see supply go up and prices drop. In the HCOL areas I'm aware that state seems ever further away, seeing as how they're still building luxury stuff everywhere.

True. But it's only really interesting to think about what people are presently buying houses for (and what makes them want to move) when thinking about pricing effects.

It seems more correct to say that supppy/demand drives a ~second order effect. But the first order term has to do with how much money people have (well and there's the interplay with where those people want to live). That is what

I always felt like this was kind of obvious. People love to say housing supply will lower prices, and it's probably slightly true, but it's fairly clear that house prices go up in places that people have money , and they go up pr

I'm aware, but excalidraw is fairly underpowered for diagramming. It can do TeX but very little in the way of actual figures without a lot of finicky manual effort.

Semi, aside, but I'm desperate for a better way to make math diagrams (WYSIWYG style, not TeX). I asked about this a while ago and nothing is really doing it for me: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38351370 . Altho

It seems impossible to think that it's not true given how fundamental it is to (new) tech culture.

I don't know why (and am curious) but this particularly odd question phrasing seems to happen a lot among Indian immigrants I've met in America. Maybe it's considered grammatically correct in India or something?

On rereading this didn't come back like I intended. IMO this post is fine. What I'd caution against is reading too much into the targeted feedback from reddit/etc about your game. Studying like you're doing is great, but

by ajkjk 2y ago
You should talk to people in person for feedback and have a conversation about it. Anonymous posts in messageboards are not an effective way to get feedback.

Eh, I disagree. By "unpedagogical" I mean: very hard to learn, and even when you learn it, often hard to explain. It's information that doesn't compress well, generalize well, or really convey direct understanding of wha

Hi I wrote that article and I would say that I am extremely aware of how quaternions are used in engineering. My stance on quaternions is that they are an opaque representation of what they are trying to do, which makes them unnecessarily-d

Those are clearly all letters in the sense of the spirit of the game. It's pretty unambiguous.

I wonder if there are any small changes/improvements to TS that would make this orders-of-magnitude more efficient to run? It would be fun to go implement some random TS feature with the secret sneaky goal of making it run Wasm better.

This was fine, legally, but I'd be pretty irritated if someone I knew wasted everyone's time on this. The schema clearly is (marginally) useful for hacking, but who cares; it clearly is a file layout also, but who cares; those m

Yeah no they're not. If I give you the list "abc/=^" absolutely everybody agrees which ones are symbols and which ones are letters. What you meant to say is that it's really easy to be precise, if you are operatin

by ajkjk 2y ago
you shouldn't be able to use letters. You're supposed to use four 2s and symbols, not four 2s plus the letters "l", "o", "g".

Anyone who doesn't run much feels that for a long time when they statt. How long have you been at it? Personally I feel like it started to feel better only when I built some strength in the whole legs and core muscle areas, such that t

I mean.. they're a big cost center that operates slowly and takes a lot of effort to keep functioning. Not to mention, you often need the engineers more than you, given how much time it takes them to ramp up, and how hard it is to find

I think there's more to this than the skeptical commenters here think. The closer you look at quantum mechanics the more it seems to be entirely (in some sense) information-theoretic, although this nature is largely concealed from our

It's widely discussed in physics, I don't know why you would have the impression it isn't.

that's so weird, I would be honest; it wouldn't even occur to me not to be. maybe that's why I never get involved in any internal politics.

oh I think it's fine. I just find it a bit odd to be saying "the thing we should have from our type system is that it's a type system, it's truly freeing to work with". Like... yeah of course we should but it's

ish, yeah, but when you go work at a job it seems like half the people there are because they're smart and half are they're because they're upper-class/wealthy background, and some are there because they worked really h
