IMHO, the framework vs library debate is similar to the inheritance vs composition. Inheritance: You must predict how people will use your class. Make a mistake and they're screwed and need to resort to all kinds of hack. (Like framewo

Another contrarian opinion, but as much as configuring and tweaking conf files are fun, it's still faster in the long run to be highly efficient on a new system as fast as possible. It's also convenient to use standard tools to be

Rather than using cmd-tab, using pre-defined shortcuts to jump to the right [workspace,window,tab]; make sure to disable any animations.

Contrarian opinion, but often doing things manually rather than automated will save you time. Writing/debugging a script is fun, but more often than not it would have been faster to do things the dumb way. If a task is risky or repetit

Yeah; A real "Hello world" quantum program is randomly printing 0 or 1 without any pseudo-random generator. At the most fundamental level, the quantum-bit can be in many states, but when measured will "jump" to either 0

It's great to see new football strategies. But I agree, personally I'm most excited about proving/discovering new math theorems using ML.

On my side, here's how I configured my mac. Workspace at the top level. - cmd+f1..f9 --> Switch to workspace. - cmd+ctrl+1..9 --> Also switch to workspace (because fkeys are removed and the touchbar is terrible) Inside each works

It's funny, I had this similar idea just last week. It's been hard for me to read books with a baby but I can afford to read emails here and there.

Hey Dalton, thanks for the answer, that's fair. I totally agree that in the long-term, moving and failing fast is a net positive for both founders and YC. I wonder how different the YC three-months experience is between founders who ha

So, that's the dichotomy of YC. YC is an accelerator, and as such, needs to accelerate /something/. If you join too early, then it's almost a distraction to getting the product out and talking to users. However, hit the

Nowadays, in most system architectures, app servers are stateless and can be scaled horizontally. But something needs to hold the state, and that thing will be the bottleneck. Yes, you can horizontally scale some databases, but distributed

Say we could break any physical rules of our current universe, is there a good theory that would explain how something might have been created out of nothing? i.e. imagine for a second that we're in a simulation and that the current la

Usually, one manager/lead take care of 3-7 people. So rather than making everyone on the same page, I'd spend more time with these leads and making sure that you guys are on the same page, and it will percolate down to the rest of

When buying on Amazon, I'm mostly interested in the 2-4 range reviews; I find this is where people discuss the pros/cons instead of just the pros (5 - best product ever!1!) and just the worst (1 - it had a defect because I threw

Congrats on the launch and on the UX/UI of the editor. There are so many great features and yet it feels simple and not overwhelming at first.

by d0m 8y ago
Most enterprises need a very different suite of features that take a lot of time and $ to build. I don't think it's as cheesy as other people in this thread try to make it sound. Often, you need to deal with a lot more regulation,

I think it's a great idea. So many people would like to learn CS but don't have the time bandwidth; paying them to learn is a win/win.

I hate css, but one of my colleague (who's really good at it) told me once that people have problems with css because they don't study and take it seriously. I.e. I spend so much time reading on new languages and design architectu

Not clear to me why someone would want to invest in high risk startups for a low-mid return.. there are much safer options that would give similar returns.

Once you find a real pain points, people will beg you to buy/use your product, even if all you have is a crappy version rushed out. To be clear, some startups require to have a super polished version to be successful. But even then,
