I did a short-lived attempt at day-trading 15 years ago. Bought a few tens of thousands of NFLX, NVDA, and AMZN. Sold it all maybe a week later and made a couple thousand bucks, which I thought made me pretty smart.

It is a painful admission, but in this world there are many people who are close to their families, close to their staff, keep a great house... and know technology better than you and have more impactful jobs that you and do more to i

The team that prides themselves on "we'll take a bit longer to get things right" usually winds up takes much , much longer ... and still gets it wrong. By that point, the fast team would be on their third iteration.

I like WFH. My company allows unrestricted WFH. But lately I've been going into office and the throughput of technical discussions is just an order of magnitude higher than in video calls or over Slack. I wish this wasn't the cas

You are correcting his terminology using a categorization (AR, MR, VR, XR, etc) which is not standardized or even commonly used. So what's the point of correcting? The simplest common-use definitions are: * Augmented: combines synthet

Ha! This morning, laying in bed, I put on my AVP and saw that Dune 2 is now on Max. "I'll just watch five minutes..." You can imagine what happened :-)

This kind of snark is not appreciated here on HN. It is hostile to your fellow members, and does not advance the discussion.

Why would it bother you if your spouse+kids had access to your location? Honest question, because I don’t understand the sentiment.

Ha, everyone here is forgetting that. And also, that all our personal documents were unencrypted :-) Parents could freely snoop if they wanted to.

“Tracking” is a scare word. The ability to see where my spouse is, when needed, without having to call or send a text, is a convenience. There’s nothing wrong with not sharing your location with your spouse if you don’t want to, but there

Third option: it's a great convenience for the entire family to be able to access each other's whereabouts easily. My family can find my own location on their phones at any given time. I don't feel like I've lost privac

> This constant tracking of kids is unnecessary and dangerous. Generations of kids survived without their parents needing to know their location at all times. This topic is always so alarmist. I have kids and a spouse. We all have Find

Yes, experience should (in theory) make one move faster. But that's not the full answer. In company after company, I've seen (and been amazed by) engineers who even at a young age (as in, first job out of college) somehow leapfro

Yes, I totally grant that this was someone experienced in this specific discipline, who was not starting from blank slate. Perhaps one reason that there are so many low-productivity developers is because there's not as much opportunity

Sure, we can ad hominem this all day. I suppose it's entirely possible the reason that in team after team over 20 years, the reason it's always a small number of engineers who get the most done, by a very wide margin, that the pr

I wonder if this video is painful to watch for people who claim "10x programmers are a myth!" As an eng manager who's overseen teams at several top FAANGs, I can say without a doubt that most of those engineers would have tak

The press says Sky voice is indistinguishable from Scarlett Johansson, but I hear zero similarities to her voice in any of her films. Besides, of course, that it is a standard-issue unaccented white anglo female.

Bah! Live performance is one of life's greatest joys (and has been for over 2,500 years). So we grin and bear the ticketmaster extortion.

Yeah he’s an idiot on twitter. But he’s still smarter than both of us. Or I guess I shouldn’t include you in that, in case your day job happens to involve conducting high-level business and engineering reviews of manned spacecraft like El
