Sadly, I am mostly monolingual :( One neat aspect of "noisy" text is that deviations from prescribed grammar conveys so much personality and tone and all that good stuff. If I write "Ummmmmmmm, dude, that's like totally

I strongly agreed with this advice when I made less. Now I agree in principle, but in practice try to only discuss it with people on about my same tier. As per usual, disparities in money make for awkward relationships, with the weirdness i

Isn't the rocket equation just a momentum equation? Does it escape that? If we brought something up, would we not pull the satellite it's attached to down, requiring more momentum from somewhere?

It seems to have a natural equilibrium. The issue is that it's too popular and valuable, there are people putting too much effort in, so a casual investor won't get into it. If it were less popular and valuable, it wouldn't b

When react already has to be "modernized" I become thankful that I don't work in JS land. I honestly don't think I could keep up and remain happy.

The most interesting part to me here is the fair use aspect. I don't know much law, but this page [0] seems to suggest that fair use is actually really flexible and maybe hard to predict. It will be really interesting to see what happe

There are two distinct questions at play. One is whether the tattoos are copyrightable. The second is what counts as fair use if the tattoos are copyrightable. Even if they decide tattoos are copyrightable, there might still be a ton of fai

What does "naturally" even mean here? Everyone these days seems to be giving their kids unique names. Some people name their kid Obi-wan Kenobi. That's not really any different than these people, is it?

Some of this is interactive development vs static development. A lot of the IDE features and stuff you get in "static" development, you could imagine getting into notebooks one day. The thing I don't know any good way to deal

Typically "unstructured" is opposed to tabular data, where rows and columns are a natural representation.

Really amazing. I use python every day at work, and most of the crucial libraries have tight inner loops written in C or Cython. I wonder what the web assembly future holds for those languages, and inter-language FFI.

I would be skeptical, but open, so long as it is frequently renegotiated. Dev salaries have gone up incredibly over time, and new technologies come in all the time. After new technologies/niches come in, their value changes over time.

Multiplicative inverse is already broken. x / 0 * 0 is either 0 or ⊥ (aka exception). It wasn't true to begin with. I happen to like the exception/partial function version, so I'm playing devil's advocate, but it re

This is explicitly talked about in OP about 2/3 of the way down the page. "If 1/0 = 0, then 1 = 0 * 0" is untrue. Your argument is "1/0 = 0, so multiply both sides by zero: 1/0 * 0 = 0 * 0, and then take 1
