too much confidence that we were building the right thing SW is weird in that way, we can basically build houses that nobody wants to live in. Thing is you probably were building the right thing, structurally speaking. My rule over time

By the end of my CS 1.6 days I loved those Nipper maps, Hookmod, Warcraft mod etc. It's mostly the console gaming experience has taken over with few outlets for modding. FPS kids these days don't know what it's like to preci

IMO central-city cores need to get redesigned around Bio/EV-only transport like walking, bikes, scooters, etc. You drive up to various parking-only rings where there is boatloads of parking and EV-transport docking stations and then w

I’m not able to read billions of books in less than an hour. I think you underestimate the sheer volume of data + conclusions the brain ingests and processes on a daily basis, primarily through unconscious experience.

AI companies can ask for permission if they want to train their models on other people's works Do you ask for permission when you train your mind on copyrighted books? Or observe paintings? Or listen to music? Do you ask for permi

I wonder how this code generation “assistant” will impact the coding skills of its users in long term. My brain is already negatively impacted having to juggle 3 separate package managers, know the syntax and inputs for 17+ different dotf

What we need is 1-5% of these 10/20/30%+ layoffs go on to start new businesses. We've had a solid decade+ of FAANG dominance now and arguably all of these companies are comfortably milking existing cash cows with minimal inno

I have always been a fan of Watsi (a YC'13 alum) for this as well. Radically transparent and 100% of your donation goes to stated healthcare needs. Early on they started with a simple GoFundMe-like approach and have since shifted focus

if you're one of the few who genuinely care/love, it's crushing There's an upside to disillusionment in that we are stripped of all the ego and false beliefs we hold, as painful as it is. If you're one of the few

If viewed in the narrow interpretation that you're presenting it, then sure, trying and failing at startups is "something other than God". Maybe that is his frustration. But if building a startup is simply part of the proces

what's the point of working so hard if nobody gets to enjoy it but me? Life starts posing those existential questions at the extremes of sacrifice, especially when you're working for something your brain subconsciously knows cou

Where can one learn more about this technique of equating bits to pieces of information? I get that it's used in various contexts like cryptography, randomness, compression, games of Guess Who, etc. but basically just nod in fake agre

I still haven't found another language like F# where it's so enjoyable to distill complexity down into expressively clean code. Every time I start with spaghetti in F# inevitably I can refactor across multiple passes and it natur

Are you really lost if you can point out you're lost? Read some Ecclesiastes or "Man's Search for Meaning" by Viktor Frankl. Or maybe "Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass" for some perspective. At certa

Your ability to pop open vscode and slap some JS in it to start a web-server in a few lines is the product of decades of SW frameworks that have made thousands of assumptions along the way to increase expressive power while tucking complexi

Yea, it's been interesting to watch how RCV has filtered into the public consciousness over the past 5-10 years and slowly increased in terms of how many people parrot it as the answer to all our voting ills. There was a site posted to

As an early beta user, I also agree. I think the issue with many modern libraries is that they don't know when to stop. Like that guy who keeps adding visual mods to his car, or that TV show that keeps creating mediocre seasons. I to
