Getting a computer science degree from a fancy university would prepare you for these types of questions. They are a ( maybe unintentional ) dog-whistle for coming a wealthy background which means you will fit right into the cultures at the

Rethinkdb was complete trash. A bane to run and pathetic at scaling. Small backups took hours. It was extremely difficult to tune.

I think you vastly over-estimate our power. If the oceans die through acidification and pollution, and all of the insects die we will die as well.

I would love to use a product like Notion, but I cannot leave my vim/Emacs keybindings behind! Would be cool if they had the ability to import / export structured text.

They don't offer any new features that are desirable. The voice assistants are a flop, not nearly good enogh. I miss my headphone jack a little. I wish I could get a blackberry style physical keyboard. As much as the iPhone vs Android

I have been doing a lot of reading about systems thinking and mental models. The klaxons have been blaring for a long time now. All of these truths are inconvenient. I have pretty much lost hope that we are going to fix anything. Let's

I'm not personally a vegetarian but my partner is. I like the meat substitutes because it gives me that nice umami and chewiness I do not get out of a lot of vegetarian dishes. Meat sets off pleasant, primal signals in the brain. Havin

No matter how harmful Marijuana is, prohibition is even worse. I recently moved to a state that has legal weed. I was pulled over yesterday and the amount of FEAR I felt when the cop got out of the car was intense. I spent years being haras

Anecdotally, I really enjoy smoking weed and know dozens of daily users whose use has a minimal impact on their mential health. I personally use weed and it makes me relax, helps with my insomnia and lack of appetite. It's similar to W

I was gold rank in Overwatch and I just did not end up enjoying the game. There is a lot to love in the game, but I stand by what I said. Compare Overwatch and Paladins to Quake or Tribes and the differences are stark. The movement mechanic

Quake Champions is fun but I would really like a more modern take. I felt it was a re-tread rather than an evolution. Lawbreakers was a pretty good game with interesting movement mechanics, but I feel that it suffered from trying to be too

I was using the term "invasive" as non-native, but I suppose this is misusing the word since they are not actively harmful and nobody will probably get herpes from them.

I've been hearing the constant whining about non-native apps for years. Pack in it, you've lost. Everyone is writing Electron and PWAs at this point. Nobody wants to train C++ developers for a minor speed boost consumers don'

I agree /w testing game development being less of a priority than in other industries, but I feel that it is because code quality tends to take a back seat in gamedev. Tests are NOT anti-agile, that is just dumb. I feel like a bunch of

IMO this is the most pragmatic solution. Why keep around an invasive species that carries a deadly virus?

Work less hours. You are probably wasting them at work anyway. Most research points to about 3-4 hours of good "deep work" a day. If you need to work more hours because your start-up is lazy about tracking productivity and "t

Yeah, exactly this. Even games released by superstars like Edmund Mcmillen have flops. The culture around game designers isn't to this point YET.

I am not QUITE at this person's point yet, as I am currently 29. But I am struggling to find a game I enjoy lately. I would argue that games have not stayed the same. Video games have become aggressively monetized at the expense of the

Roads are bad for more reasons than maintenance though. People don't like to live near them. They are an UNPLEASANT part of the journey, not a destination. That means whoever gets stuck with the road going through their community sees

If you are sitting there thinking: "So what", I highly recommend you educate yourself on how building roads actually affects US infrastructure. We have a CRUMBLING infrastructure in the US, and people are constantly complaining ab

It is, yeah. Roads are bad and toxic to the businesses and areas around them. Nobody wants to hang out next to a 4 lane blacktop with cards screaming down it at 60 miles an hour. It spreads out businesses and makes our cities utilities spen

Except for the fact that building more roads != more commerce. In fact, roads often DECIMATE the communities they are built through. Ask the rural United States how building a bunch of highways through their towns to the local Walmart has g
