Sell defined risk credit spreads 30-60 days out on underlyings with high implied volatility where the max loss is a small percentage of your bankroll. Buy them back at some percentage of max profit (50% is a good general rule). Read or watc

I wish more language textbooks were set up like classical language textbooks - I have Wheelock for Latin, Groton for Greek. Grammar and authentic texts. Both have companion volumes with more authentic texts.

Studying general relativity, since it's the flagship application of my field of mathematics (differential geometry) and yet I only know the basics. It is, of course, the most elegant scientific theory of all time.

I would have written inhouse plugins for Word - it's actually pretty easy and I don't want to be in the business of writing a word processor.

Interesting to see how this aged. By my reckoning: 1 (Single Founder) - people just ignore this one, more or less. 2 (Bad Location) - this one became a horrifying monster that devours everything it touches. 3 (Marginal Niche) - probably the

Trump: The Game is actually a good game design, but the branding is, uh, a bit tacky. (If you can get the original 80s printing, it's much more subdued.)

Org is a way better naturalistic markup format, with way better tooling, but it's hampered by being emacs-only and having weird devotees who like to sell it as some kind of task planning tool when really it's a naturalistic markup

mrmime is really cool - parsing a mail is extremely hard to get right.

SQLite is also extremely useful, but it fills a different niche. (One of SQLite's slogans is "SQLite does not compete with client/server databases. SQLite competes with fopen().")

We're told (correctly) by all YC's public communication that raising is a distraction and founders should focus on real work as much as possible. If what you say is the case, YC is either broken or lying, and they're not lyin

Business-targeted tools don't have this because they're intended for people used to conference calls on a telephone system.

Algorithmic coding tasks and system design questions are the two types of things you get asked in SWE interviews. They just have practice interviews for both. It's not novel.

If YC goes fully remote this batch, I will apply. Moving to California for several months is well outside my price range and would waste way too much of the YC investment. I also have a relatively pricey NYC apartment lease that I can'

Do C programmers really think this? I hear it a lot, but only from non-C programmers who hold C in awe. I think they may have heard it from a different cohort of C programmers, though.

Ceteris paribus, doubling of atmospheric CO2 causes warming of about 1 degree Celsius. That's not called "quadratic" where I come from. (Runaway warming, when it's hypothesized, is hypothesized to be the product of novel

I don't like it when people make these sort of link-dropping comments, so this is a bit hypocritical of me, but take a look at https://qntm.org/abolish

Unlike Google, Microsoft actually has APIs, so you can use those. Depends on the project, though. Since Google's fans ironically can't Google, docs below: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/

Oh, I get it. This is mostly not a practically relevant issue. (Nor are pre-K&R compilers relevant, although something like this could arise among modern compilers.) As far as oddball situations go, it's far from the thorniest to d
