But does it really matter? If you selected another number on that basis and then 1 2 3 4 5 6 won, you would still be kicking yourself as splitting the pot is better than no pot at all.

How have you found the transition to iOS? For me, the task switcher OCR feature is absolutely killer, one of the main things still keeping me on Android. Does iOS have anything similar?

Very interesting. Similar theme to a point Tyler made awhile ago, that I think he touches on even explicitly in this interview, about how if BTC gets to $100K or $200K, you have a bunch of billionaires running around that have essentially d

Nice changes, I like it! I will say I really like aligning the join clauses, but I'll try writing things this way for a little while and see if it sticks.

I'll use PyCharm's SQL formatter sometimes to massage spaghetti code that someone else wrote, but mostly I just write it this way by hand. I will say my use case is probably different than others, I'm a Data Scientist so I wr

Yes! I write SQL this way. I grant the comma thing is more a matter of taste, but aligning clauses vertically and maximizing rivers is super useful to me and it forever mystifies me that it isn't standard. This is an extreme example, b

But you can just make a new smart contract that does the same thing, no? Smart contracts themselves can just be copied. And saying that the "community" will take care of the fraud issue - isn't this a step backwards?

Still can't believe they stopped manufacturing these. Such a perfect and cheap solution to the same problem as OP: streaming audio over WiFi to a "dumb" speaker.

I don't really understand why it's framed as withholding equity. It just wasn't offered, totally fair choice by the founders. If you didn't like it, why work there?

Yeah fair question, it wasn't so much of a bite as the way my hand was angled it snagged on one of her canine teeth, and when I felt pain and pulled away, it drove her tooth even more deeply into the palm of my hand, causing a nice and

That's basically what the pharmacist said: it's probably not a hazard, more like your data point on side effects is not going to be useful because of the co-mingling. Good to know that they nailed it.

True, but I think you can use this bias to your advantage in some ways in the remote world. On a resume what catches your eye first, the name/locations of the HQs of prior employers? Or home address of candidate? The former is much mor

So, I just gave it a shot. Seems pretty nice, definitely pretty syntax highlighting and basic autocomplete was simple to get up and running. However, I think this project has the same issue as basic VIM/NVIM, in that if you're com

Speaking as someone who just yesterday was having a hell of a time getting NVIM configured with basic autocomplete, I was immediately interested. I would love to use VIM and it's ecosystem of plugins but I don't have 100s (1000s)

I accepted a job at a startup not too long ago. They offered a pretty good salary, but no equity. Shame on me for not doing better research. As soon as I got in the role, they made it clear they expected 70 hours a week, oh and by the way,

They complain about it in the same way they complain about computers in general. Sometimes it doesn't work right. That doesn't mean that 99.5% of the time it doesn't get the job done.
