It's funny to see so much serious conversation on this. On my team we always take the opportunity to roast the "see me after class" pair because 99% of the time it's unintentional and everyone does it at some point.

With drones we have this odd period of time where people are manually flying them, but the ultimate goal is autonomous flight. Basically we never wanted humans controlling drones in the first place, but it was needed while sensors /

Interesting thoughts, I like the miner analysis, esp. since a lot of these companies have moved from OTC to NQ listed recently. I keep a watchlist just to observe how they react to BTC pricing, and pondering some of your thesis it's g

After that hedge fund issued a $1M reward on Tether backing I did some more investigation and the thing I realized is that 1) Tether is inherently backed by BS and 2) crafting any sort of Tether short is near impossible because everyone in

mechanics will be unable to repair anything but new cars who have their problems diagnosed with a computer. This has been a thing for at least 10 years now, started by the luxury brands. There really wasn't much troubleshooting requ

Along with Fable highly recommend a look at Feliz. A joy to work with and its ViewEngine can also separately be used w/ Giraffe just for the syntax: https://zaid-ajaj.github.io/Feliz/ https://github.co

I ride a motorcycle and can pretty easily spot patterns of distracted driving, but after buying a truck with some ride height, it is amazing how many people are regularly on/touching their phone for something while driving. On the ord

Sure, if you want to extract the various proverbs, there's plenty of practical and related wisdom. But the stoics had nothing to do with Christ, who is the target of faith in the Bible. Further, the stoics hardly had disciples who we

Perfectionism is typically a defense mechanism of some sort. This post is trying to fix all the damaged fruit springing from the roots of perfectionism, like trying to stamp out every ant instead of killing the queen. Sometimes you grew up

There's also benefits to establishing independence early and reaping the compounded rewards of a lifetime of confidence built through bearing burden(s) of responsibility.

I'd argue the real culprit is the "maximize shareholder value" mantra. Nothing is off limits in the Excel-sheet optimization game and room for experimentation or creativity is often axed in favor of minimizing risk and extra

Which is ironic because the pursuit of knowledge only continues to increase the landscape of unknowns towards infinity - the branches of the tree of undiscovered and unknown knowledge continues to grow exponentially. It's as-if today

It means that the nitpicking, planning, penny pinching behavior that preceded the loss was pointless Maybe the author is struggling with some sort of penny pinching behavior that preceded a life loss, but this is an incorrect conclusion.

Are we seeing apex Facebook? I've been thinking this for years now, but there's really nothing to replace it, it has a huge lock-in, and there's not been an underlying technical shift that enables product re-invention. &quo

If an API is like a painting, then a changing landscape could be one reason you can paint it accurately each time but still need to make later revisions. "All models are wrong but some are useful" applies here as well. Most of SW

It's a balance. There's also the saying that "the prototype usually becomes the product", which means that by the time the team has made all those tech debt mini-concessions along the way and have allowed engineers to s

The parent definitely does not misunderstand meditation, and is quite aware that there are two primary types - focused-attention and open-awareness - the latter of which is generally what gets packaged as mindfulness meditation these days.

At least for the author, it worked because he wanted it to work. "Seek and you shall find" is another spiritual principle. i.e. His faith in the process is what produced the results: I began meditating in search for a decreas

Yep, sounds like SW development, partly why we get paid some of the highest salaries in the country. I try to keep in mind I have the power to step off the treadmill at regular intervals and go lie on a beach chair or hammock in the mounta

Jane Street (OCaml) and Jet.com (F#, sold to Wal-Mart) are two obvious $B examples. It seems to be more industry-dependent as well.

Heh, I get similar bitching from my team on this, but programming is basically the art of defining a structured language around a given domain. Naming is far less the bike shed and much more the assembly of bricks that build the nuke plant

I'll spare you the years of money + research, the majority of it all funnels back into "mean reversion" as the core operating principle. Ceteris paribus in terms of information advantages of course. You can get good at eekin

In 2017/18 the "smart" money was early into ICOs and the "fools" are just getting into those over the past year. Meanwhile the "smart" money has moved on to DeFi and all that nonsense - DeX, yield farming

Having been on HN long enough, what I look for during any idea/startup launch is polarization and intensity of viewpoints. If people are reacting to the idea (for better or worse), it means its had an impact. Those are often the prod
