isn't wealth accumulation inherently zero-sum? like, there's a fixed amount of capital and resources in the system. accumulating it for yourself means someone else won't have it, right?

I've been very interested in doing this kind of work. Any general advice you can give or beginner directions you can point me towards? Thanks!

Left my $500k TC job because my remote offer got rescinded mid-move when a new VP abruptly took over our BU. He didn't "believe" in colocated teams. This was right before COVID hit and everyone was forced remote. Wish I cou

What's "the" job? Are we talking founder or corporate ladder? How much does this dream house cost?

Jeff Bezos is a bad example for the point you're trying to make. He's worth that because he held (and built) an asset that increased massively in value over the past ~30 years. Not because his comp was too high.

Safety nets are broken because the government isn't held accountable. Not because government is limited in budget or power. Or because the "elite" manufactured these inefficiencies in order to keep their workforce impoverishe

The issue for me is that the federal government is notoriously inefficient. They have no external pressure to be efficient since they have no skin in the game. Don't misunderstand me; i'm not saying there aren't huge issues w

is this "actualized $73MM in gains from selling AAPL shares" or some backdated math like "at the current price, the amount of shares he's sold are worth $73MM"?

Have you tried notion? Supports a lot of what you like about MS Word.

This is really interesting. What key bindings do you use consistently? I wish the vim worked the same way. I'd love to use vim nav and modes for any text in any app.

I like fzf for command history search. Ctrl-r, then fuzzy search the command, arrow up and down. Nirvana

This is awesome. I remember stumbling upon it at some point, but totally forgot about it! Gonna definitely check it out.

I spent a short time trying to find a pretty diff tool, but couldn't really find one to my liking. So just ended up using a bash function that did some decorating on the diff output.

Yea, this is what I use.

by kanyethegreat 6y ago
Yes, I love this one! I'll check out the widget. Sounds cool! I have the same problem (it's usually changing filenames, so I just use fzf twice, then modify the second filename). There was one bash feature along the same lines of

Love this! I found that the more experienced I became as a dev, the more I gravitated toward the less-removed sources of truth (eg. man pages instead of stack overflow, source code instead of blog articles, etc). Haven't started readin

Holy shit... that wiki and alfred workflow is INSANE. I am so jealous. Do you find that you're able to discover what you're looking for pretty instantaneously? Any general tips for organizing (sorry if you cover this in the wiki,

This is awesome. I usually just have a scratch file that uses an http library (eg. requests for python) and log the response. Do you prefer this over something like postman?

by kanyethegreat 6y ago
Love this idea! I generally just have scratch files in whatever codebase I'm working on, but I like the idea of having a centralized place to keep these. Any chance yours is public? I'd love to see an example of how you organized

Absolutely! I've come to the same realization. Just haven't figured out my effective documentation rules. Difficult to experiment with what works when the feedback loop is on the same magnitude of how long it takes you to forget (

Nice! I've been looking for something like this. Do you use tmux? I wonder how it works with tmux copy mode... Semi-related to this, I wish there was a way to visualize your undo/redo tree. I hate that if I want to undo a change I

I love this. I have a grouping of pages in Notion for tech notes. But I really like the idea of scoping it to a project. I like that you don't need a local repo. I'll have to experiment with this. Have you automated anything for i

I use a combination of WorkFlowy and Notion for note-taking. WorkFlowy serves as my daily quick jotting medium. Notion I spend more time crafting and organizing, so that knowledge is more discoverable. Do you ever find yourself going throug

That's for the first UBI payment though, right? I was under the impression there would be more, no?

Great advice. Number 2 is really hard to execute though. What are actionable steps you can take to really learn about an industry/domain. I wish I was a fly on the wall and could observe people's workflows. Thought about making a
