I saw Graham walking around UCSD. I didn't recognize him but my friend pointed him out. I wanted to meet him.

WFH made me and my coworkers work later since it bleeds easily into daily life. It feels harder to setup boundaries. I took a vacation to get work done. I needed to get out of meetings and not have to check slack so much.

I think the relationships in a corporate environment aren't conducive to bringing out the best in people. If you work in one, the best you can hope for is for your team to be left alone and managed by earnest and diligent engineers tha

I agree that Service Meshes should be easier to use and configure both statically and dynamically. The cost of running them is also a con. Those extra sidecars make your pod heavier and slower to start. I disagree that they should fade out

I hate it when I'm emailing someone with a deliberately long response and by the time I send, the thread has already gone on and I have to re-merge it.

You as the consumer accepted the terms of service of the hosting site. So don't be surprised when things like this happen once you've violated the terms of service.

corporate totalitarianism... but for good? 2020 is weird. The Government needs enough autonomy and power to regulate corporations. Of course, corps send in their lobbyists to control government. They'll live in a constant tug of war. W

Bitcoin is a denomination. Currency is a religion. The value is based on faith.

I find that it is important to have these during a psychadelic experience: 1. Medical supervision - the security makes it easier for one to let go. 2. Professionalism - be led by someone who has guided others and who the person trusts. 3. I

I think the popular conception comes form the fact that if you are a good leader, you want them to make decisions. From a management perspective, this means telling people what to do. Of course, leaders recognize that bossing people around

People will try anyway. All that responsibility and yet no accountability. The fact that the pandemic is a rare event is not an excuse in my opinion. If anything, it's a reason to hold them accountable.

"The risk of long term effects is actually very small - almost insignificant" Do you have sources for those claims?

I find it fascinating how we submit batteries of tests to code as software engineers. Yet when it comes to our own health as a species, the rigor suddenly falls.

I agree. The question to ask is "how do you boil those problems down to computational problems?". Those problems you've listed are broad but solutions to subproblems would go a long way. I'm surprised this hasn't be

I agree. How can mental health issues like depression be affecting so many people, yet all we are settling for as a solution are pills that don't even work that well, haven't been studied in the long-term, create a long-term depen

social justice issues. I'm waiting for a computational model of government so we can question and improve these models without violence. It seems that (in America at least) politics is so tightly woven into a person's identity tha

She is an adult. Lauren Ipsum is a cute book though. I'll have to remember that one.

Research should be reproducible but some research would be too constrained by the cloud.

I'm a fan of IBL style courses. I don't know if it scales well but it isn't obvious to me that it can't. If a student can teach better than the teacher, then that should be good enough. The point of higher education is t

I really don't believe in the academic system we have now. It feels like an elitist club. Grades are only a snapshot of your current understanding of something. Given enough time and interest, anyone can earn high marks. If I was in th

Pascal was tongue-in-cheek alluding to the ability to deeply analyze problems. In any case, solutions are often better with human interaction. I like to think of Bourbaki as an example.

I'm concerned about the long-term effects of taking these mRNA vaccines. Have there been any studies? Is it true that you may need to take the vaccine more than once?

If you are a CS graduate, it is up to you if you want to use what you've learned in the field. I've found that it is a useful perspective, sometimes it is overkill, but it's better than any testing sometimes. Software enginee

programming and trig can be elegant. I think interviewers sometimes look for elegance. They want to believe they are hiring someone smarter than them. Elegance is one feature they look for.

My hope is that major cloud providers standardize the price around these collaborations with open source. If Azure and GCP did the same thing, why pay them differently?
