I like to blindly attribute these things to bodily chemistry. Anything you put in your body now will affect everything from now on in your material world :) That approach works for me, anyway.

Are the majority of these risk factors not predictable epigenetically or genetically?

That's quite a statement to make. Though, my previous employer definitely has been intelligent about surviving recessions, and they seem to be following along your words. Got any more evidence?

I'm directly replying to: Which is exactly what Cloudflare wants and has planned all along. The idea that it's all planned and was a strategic bid to get into a stable business position and so on...

So what that Cloudflare hides behind the fact that it serves a large chunk of the internet? It's a strategic fact that they use to their advantage, not their ultimate evil goal to make your life worse eventually. I think we're qui

If a large enough chunk of the information, that happens to be what you'd give to your employees to be frank about the direction your start-up is going, is stuff that your competitors can use, then why aren't you making these empl

I like some the advice, and I know some companies that should take it ("Pricing page should be usable as a reference" is genius) but I strongly disagree with the kind of consumer psychology present in the lawn mower technique. It

It's not the mafia - he'll be the person known for building a trillion dollar car company out of pure speculation, and damn near delivering on that speculation.

I think that you're missing the linking element of software units. It can be very intimidating, particularly from an outside view. I have been writing C for years and I can tell you in a second if you are accidentally dereffing the sta

You're not far behind, if at all, from what your peers are. Moreover, your self consciousness - though it may cause you a lot of pain, is a good sign. Don't go for a LV3 support role (or anything similar). Look for grad schemes -

This CGP-Grey-like channel that I found a year ago has gotten a lot more popular in the past couple of years, but it's still criminally overlooked considering the quality of the teaching.

Cloud Run introduces a heap of other considerations at the enterprise level - container building and repository management which may not be managed by your team etc. Cloud Functions/Lambda are very nice in a company where you don'

They're huge milk floats. As someone who has only ever owned two cars (1L Citroen and a 3L m240i), and who has driven a Model 3, I can say for sure that internal combustion cars have a lot more character and are more fun to drive, with

Doesn't feel to me like microchips are in such short supply that any more would significantly contribute to the economy. Am I just unaware of the crisis going on all around me?

The whole "stick SIMD into it and compare it with the stdlib" thing is a really common learning trope. Feels more like a portfolio filler, albeit probably not a useless one.

Spending petrol (or battery power) to put your foot down on a long, straight and clear road is the most freeing experience you can have. Cars usually not cheap, but honestly you get so little for ones that cost more than $100k that I'd

Fair enough. Hard to imagine a $100,000/y punching bag, maybe it's just my privilege that I haven't seen one yet.

I know I'm not qualified to speak on your decisions or life, and you probably know more about the situation but - why "not a snowball's chance in hell"? People change, they get given second chances. I wouldn't min

On the topic of driving legislature and enforcement in general, I hate the sentiment of speed limits. It's a mishmash of trying to reduce fatalities by making person-and-vehicle collisions happen at a slower speed that is for some rea
