In this tweet from the US State Department's twitter account on 2022-01-22 (a month before the most recent invasion), a US official says: "... I want to be clear with you today. If Russia invades Ukraine, one way or another, NordS

The unsuccessful learning technique the author describes at the beginning of the article is essentially the LIFO "stack" data structure/algo: You learn until you encounter a gap in your understanding, upon which you push your

I would love to read a Malcom Gladwell book on this topic. It touches on a core truth, not only in engineering but in society as a whole. Three examples from different spheres: In software, I've seen repeatedly how new hires with big i

You might instead try THC (technical, high-cardio) running; it takes up less of your weekend.

Very interesting, and does capture some of the transparency of Inspiration, in the sense that using the tool doesn't interfere with the process. Thanks for sharing this!

The best tool I've ever used for this no longer exists, as far as I'm aware. It was circa 1991, a spectacular lightweight Macintosh application called "Inspiration." There currently exists software in the same lane with

Hold on, that's a misquote. "revenge driven justice" does quote me. "Against the rich" doesn't; you added it. That's a pretty big leap away from my point. Do you believe that <protected class X> is &

I mainly agree with the OP. While they don't come out and say it, most on the DEI frontlines execute on the idea that the fix to the fact that "those people have been discriminated against, well, forever" is not to do away wi

Glad these guys seem to finally be noticing. I was a software engineering manager at a lean, high-margin, profitable start-up based in the NYC area starting in the late 2000s. We were acquired in 2014 by a very typical (for the time) SV-bas

I was asking myself similar questions after finding that the survey results bore little resemblance to what I've encountered in the US software industry in the last few years (I've been at it for decades). My first hunch is that t

I think that the progressive default argument on this topic is pretty transparent BS. If it's too hard for some people to get an ID, make it easier for everyone to get an ID. Don't open up elections to an obvious fraud vector.

Mortgage loan officers (and also car salesmen) do all in their power to redirect people away from the fact that they're going to fork over e.g. $600k in total interest and principle for a $300k sticker-price house over 30 years. They d

Along these lines, I remember Skyrim once being described as "at heart, the world's greatest hiking sim." Maybe Minecraft shares some of that.

Overall, I think this idea is a great one, though the stack still needs some development/improvement. To second hatware's challenge, if you can come up with a (mostly) turn-key solution, one that would be as cheap & time-thrif
