Wow cool to see this pop up here. My dad worked for this company in its heyday before it was acquired by Unisys I think. Used to make mainframes. He came to the USA from an Indian village without any formal cs education. Completely self tau

Where is dang on this post. Why do we think so many of these comments and even this post are okay and on topic for HN. Next thing you know this place will revolve into blind. I guess dumping on amazon is on the right side of the line here b

That’s hillarious. It’s why I love Rstudio.. don’t have to deal with any of that as someone who is just trying to prototype and get something to work.

Wishing you healing Mike. I’m burned out myself at my current job and not sure if I’ll ever get that excitement or passion back in my life.

I am dreaming of the day I can yell “f*ck you!” And throw my phone into the ocean, walk off and never need it again. Live in a little town somewhere, read books, write about stuff. Dress up as a wizard and read the hobbit to children. If yo

What you are seeing here with the labor market is essentially the same thing we are seeing with real estate. It is a liquidation and recapitalization into a higher asset class. People selling their homes, cashing out and using their equity

What I’ve realized is the baseline Maslow hierarchy level has shifted upwards. Many of us have evolved. Management patting us on the back because we’ve made them an extra 10-20MM is not as meaningful to us anymore to motivate us to keep goi

I have friends who burned out at AWS after a stressful launch. Believe it or not the effects are still there a whole year later. Many are just doing the bare minimum required to stay alive. My conclusion is there is a constant optimal pace

Youth suicide is a very scary thing. I can’t imagine the grief it brings on the parents who are already suffering so much at the hands of this terrible situation. And let’s not forget about those who are single and the social isolation issu

Fascinating, I think Yukteswar Giri (teacher of Yogananda) tried to make a case that the Yuga cycles were tied to the axial precession. Somehow these cosmic manifestation have a parallel on what happens on earth, similar to how the earths r

The 19 year Metonic cycle is interesting. I think it is also the orbital period of the moons nodes (aka dragon head/tail or north node/south node or rahu/Ketu in Indian astronomy). I wonder if there is a connection.
