>the people who were into FIRE [...] have ended up markedly worse off by their own definition of success than people who took more traditional routes. Can you please elaborate?

Well, it's not very strongly typed if you use dicts with default values for everything.

Huh. I recently realized I might like cleaning and transforming data (and staring at the inputs and outputs and intermediary results of the pipeline to see the peculiarities of the data and what can be improved.) I didn't realize this

Would you consider projects that solve your own problems or that are for "personal aesthetic fulfillment" (i.e. you think it's cool, regardless of what others would think) as a separate category?

Perhaps it might be good to replace the concept of streaks by an exponential moving average.

It could be more subtle than that. If someone feels depressed and low-energy, they're less likely to find a mate and reproduce, and less likely to be able to take good care of their kids.

The idea behind bionic reading is similar to why I find fonts with medium-to-small x-height more readable that fonts with large x-height. Although large x-height probably makes each individual letter more readable, more pronounced ascende

When you say "wrong decision" do you really mean "bad outcome"? Be careful not to confound the two. (See "outcome bias")

What gives meaning to text? How do you know there's something more to text that the "phenomenology"?

Often B is not a well defined statement, but a poorly defined ball of emotions and value judgements.

It's cool how I can add non-ascii characters and they just work.

What is it about building "web-related technology" that makes it so cheap? Is it actually that much cheaper? And if so, why? Why isn't there a platform for making apps that compares?

How does this compare to "classical" competitive programming (like ICPC, Codeforces, etc)?

I wonder if there's a way to do server-side javascript programming with this philosophy. For client-side I can just throw together some html and javascript to make a simple app. But if I want to use javascript on the server it seems li

Did you consider the possibility that both of those statements could be sincere at the time they are made? "This work is good enough for me for now, but in the future it might not be anymore, in which case I'll want to take it int

Unless what you're testing has a very clear interface boundary (like a pure function whose behavior is unlikely changed, or the program's end-to-end behavior), there's no clear distinguish between behavior and implementation.

A problem I have with this approach is that sometimes my thoughts don't stabilize, but keep going in cycles. I think it would be best to do X, but then a few days later, the reasons I had no longer seem important and I think it would b

Could you expand on the hypothetical? What would you program? In particular (asking anyone, not just you) what would satisfy the same "needs" as these coding strategy games? Programming here is not an end in itself, but a means to

"kiting" in the context of video games means continuously moving in and out of range of an enemy in order to hit it and and avoid being hit yourself.

Reminds me of the "paradox" that making technology more energy-efficient has the effect of increasing overall energy use.

Could someone comment why the response times are faster? Is it entirely a question of which CPU is used or does it have to do with something else?

You're probably right. Can give some practical advice or pointers about how to become interested in something? What do you practically mean by "engage"? Second point: even though something is "only" in your head, it

Is SaaS really the only viable (or "unicorn") business model? Do people not sell software licenses anymore? (In theory nothing prevents you from making your license require recurring payment as well)
