Agreed. The most sobering chart i've seen regarding what the fed is doing is the Caracas stock index: https://www.bloomberg.com/quote/IBVC:IND Stocks going up doesn't indicate that the economy is fine.

I've worked on this part of myself alot, and I think the core idea that changed it for me is clearly articulating the problem you're solving and not over identifying yourself with your work product. If the problem you're solv

Agreed. When I first started writing go I thought "Wtf is this caveman language" And now years later I couldn't imagine going back to using exceptions. The non-linearity of exceptions creates such a cognitive load of pickin

As someone who just re-wrote his project (from python) in rust I will say that it has been an incredibly rewarding and pleasant experience. C++ is fine, but most projects are riddled with ugly macros and #defines for features / platfor

It's definitely a daunting task, and I've been in that position once and I think it was a pivotal role in my career. I was hired as the only android engineer on a project that had churned 3 devs already, each with their own code

If you really want to make it work you can get a router with an external antenna connector and mount a yagi and point it towards the tower. Might take some trial and error but this is definitely a solvable problem w/ LTE

Smiliar boat except with a lenovo x1 extreme. After typing on my lenovo for 1 day going back to my macbook pro retina feels like an absolute disaster. It's like we've been gaslit by apple to believe these computers are good. They&

Couldn't agree more. The lack of business sense in the startup scene is absolutely astounding. Too many opt for playing game of thrones instead of creating value and capturing some of that value as a profit.

This really needs to be tested in court. Isn't the government technically in breach of contract by not paying employees?

I think that most adults underestimate the intelligence of kids due to their own narcissistic ego injury. Kid's are incredibly capable and smart if you give them the opportunity to grow. My dad started teaching me C/C++ and basic

Yeah there should be some sort of government sponsored cryptographic identity system :\ I hope some of the identity verification blockchain companies succeed for this sort of thing. What we have now is laughably bad.

Personally I've become pretty jaded at the entire tech industry. The majority of companies in the industry are not solving real problems :\ We're making the world mildly more convenient. This is something I've been ponderin

Agreed. I do some EOS smart contract work on the side (personal tinker projects) and its incredibly impressive. If you haven't played around with EOS and are interested in blockchain computing you should check it out. Being able to wri

It scares the living shit out of me how many people in tech are actively fighting against free speech. Censorship is evil. It is a power that will be abused for political gains (as we're already seeing). That is pretty much a const
