It's good advice for multiple reasons. I put books down using this rule for many years. Sometimes I pick it up again and absolutely love it but I'm at a different point in my life and intellectual interests. It's kind of like

I'd love to see something like this. I'm an old computer science guy and would love to write software again. I can write plenty of functionality in Python but I don't really want to learn all the JS stuff. I just don't l

I wonder if we created the companies that we deserve? I worked at IBM a long time ago and they spent a ton of time and money developing employees. I was there when there was still a concept of “lifetime” employment. IBM was expensive but we

I don't think Google Corporate had any idea this was going on and that way more people were interested in it than normal and many were reporters and investors. It had a feel like a local Google dev group meeting which is informal. I st

Anyone ever check out these Lucyd glasses? They are new, company is trying to make a push. Maybe the time is right? Always seems too early. https://lucyd.co/

This is a little off topic but related because I keep looking at these source code editor posts. I have always been looking for a little "sidekick" editor that is always in the background that you can invoke with a ctrl-<char&g

Seems like a great way to learn/practice songs. I'd love to learn a few that I could perform on stage with a band I know. I wonder if anyone has developed an app that could take a recording of my voice and identify the songs where

Seems like a very strange move. The Tesla seems to signal a lane change and abruptly slow down at the same time on a highway with no lights, intersections, turns, or obstacles. This was precisely the type of driving I figured would be easy

I visited LA this year and in fancy neighborhoods you still park on the street but you are not allowed to leave your car in the same spot for more than 72 hours or they ticket and tow. BUT if you are living in your vehicle the rule doesn’

I also like the "forever bottle" that is common with bourbon lovers like me. You take one of your nicer bottles and when another one is close to empty you don't finish it but instead dump it into a "forever bottle"

Seems like less regulation and less government leads to greater efficiency. The rich get richer often because of government loopholes. Carried interest is a simple one but in the 77,000+ pages of the tax code the rich have the resources to

I never considered that “Blitzscaling” was ever really a thing. Just a another buzzword in the Valley echo chamber.

It’s about time. Google results are so full of promoted and sponsored content that you must use tricks to get past it. Even so most of the best things are no longer findable via Google even if you know what you are searching for!. I’ve been

I think they also pivoted from doing individual cards to just corporate. I had a Brex account and card and they ended up closing all that off. I never got around to using it. I did find Mercury Bank to be pretty good for a business account

We used Eiffel to build a funds transfer system way back when, Maybe 1990 or so. I met Bertrand a couple of times because my mentor was a huge fan. He built systems in banking using Modula-2 before Eiffel came along. Last I saw Bertrand he

I'd probably be considered old too but all these point services add up to a lot of complexity IMO. I've been running on WordPress for about 10 years and it got unworkable because everything requires a plugin. I finally got off and

Amazon has a terrible track record in healthcare - with both internal efforts and acquisitions. I figured they had given up but this acquisition suggests otherwise. I think the business is just too different from what they know for them to

Given how precious and valuable time is I don't really get the aversion to using Microsoft or something similar. Pricing has come down so much that it's less than people spend on coffee. If you are working on something worthwhile

It feels like there should be a more direct way to grow stuff. AppHarvest is doing something interesting. Why plant in dirt outside and rely on lossy transmission of fertilizer and water to the plant? Plus fungus, parasites, etc. A controll

It might be hard to love Logitech as a brand but I've been satisfied with a number of their products and keyboards and mice are important to me. I'm typing for hours a day so it matters. I'm getting older and arthritis sucks

Funny we were just at the supermarket and this was going on. I used my Amex and it went through fine. Lines everywhere, people rushing to the single ATM in the area. What's in your wallet? ;-)

It’s like the last three years all my instruments said “tilt” and none of my traditional financial analysis tools were worth a damn. Now I am getting readings and things are working again. Hope it stays this way. I expect we may overshoot o

I hope it’s finally over. For a while the market was driven by factors that I can’t analyze or understand using my traditional financial frameworks. It’s now back to a point where my tools work again. It’s like all my instruments just read

I don't know who did it but someone killed CNN a long time ago when they started "reporting" on what was trending on Twitter. I remember the day many years ago and thinking "what the hell are they doing and why would som
