A good junior is an expert at writing clever code. I think this desire is squashed out of people once they realize there are many more stakeholders in the code you write than just you. Being clever is often a waste of everyone's time.

The frightening things are the most transformative. Decentralized stablecoins represent a huge class of use-cases for blockchain. You don't have to tether the value of a stablecoin to a fiat currency necessarily.

Whatever it takes for them! Nature will course correct if amphetamines hurt math professors to the point where they can no longer contribute to math. As of right now, it seems to be helping them.

I edited-in the "2DArray" because I thought it was confusing... But you're right, just calculate offsets. The dominating term is still quadratic, and the term you mentioned is linear. It could be worth it for a scaled org lik

It would be much nicer for the consumer to just de-dupe the keys in your json than to serve an annoying format like CSV. Your JSON could basically be a matrix with a header row, there's nothing forcing you to duplicate keys. { head

I agree, if something satisfies the conditions of life, then it's life. The distinction between artificial life and non-artificial life is completely anthropocentric. I could even argue that "artificial selection" is a loaded

I never said anything about likeliness, so I'm not sure who you are replying to. I don't care if carbon-based life is more abundant than silicon or methane or insert something else based life. If life emerges due to nothing othe

Valid use case! Starting with porn is probably a better business idea to be honest. Porn is like a drug, easy to sell, and when it differentiates itself, it stands out. That's why there's stepmom and 3D tentacle porn. It's di

LinkedIn has too much "advice" from "experts". Shut up and make me laugh instead. Everything they post is either self-congratulatory "advice" or just sycophantic worship.

Personally I would not learn physics for the first time from the Feynman lectures. The Feynman lectures are aimed at senior undergrads who already took advanced physics, in my opinion. I read the Feynman lectures after I took advanced physi

Every wrong thing posted to the internet increases the chance of the right thing being posted later. You can't invent a lightbulb without the 10,000 failed attempts that came before it. The noise is here to stay. Nobody promised that e

Yeah I always cringe when I see people on LinkedIn talk about burn out and depression like it's something you can decide to "get over". A few months ago, I saw one of my old co-workers post something ignorant (she's a VP

Tainted altruism is a good paper to read. Selfishness (in this case, the desire to get rid of junk) is slippery when it is in the name of altruism. When we have psychological cover, we are more willing to do the wrong thing. Many great pape
