I had an identical first-time experience a few months ago. For some reason I was expecting the Glock to be way easier and less terrifying than the AR, but it wasn't. It really blew my mind that I could aim directly at a human-sized tar

Austin. Back to where I came from. In my estimation, it has the most coolness-per-dollar. What I actually want is to buy a house, and I just can’t do that around here. Austin is comparatively cheaper and has a culture that appeals to me. It

As it happens, tomorrow I’m putting in my 30-day notice to terminate my lease and leave the Bay. (And I’m paying 2 additional months rent in fees to do so) Not being tied to the office fundamentally changes the calculus of choosing where to

More like the difference between beer and kombucha, no? Liquor would be more akin to THC concentrates. I don’t think the effects of CBD are comparable to THC with respect to getting “high”, though I don’t know much about the other cannabino

Smarter Every Day has a video demonstrating this technique[1] with the help of one of the researchers involved in this project. I was a little spooked at first, but then I realized that there is no way to point a laser at any of my devices.

These are not even close to equivalent. I agree the algos interview process is broken in many ways and can be gamed to some degree by grinding Leetcode or whatever, but implementing an algorithm is generally much more difficult than reca

This is one of the joys of TypeScript. Some of my coworkers complain about being required to use TS instead of JS, and I just wonder why in the world you would want to use JS in a massive codebase.

I have been reasonably happy with Spotify’s discovery. It hasn’t been impressive as YouTube recommendations, but it’s still the primary way I find new music. Their generated “Discovery Weekly” playlist is a favorite of mine.
