Thanks for posting this so I didn't have to. I think if contemporary dialogue about Marx focused more on Capital and less on The Communist Manifesto we'd have less confusion about what Marx was trying to say. I think it's per

I am your exact same age and have exactly what you described except for the potassium levels. It really sucks. It's weird to realize that most people out there don't feel their heartbeat constantly, because it's been a back

I have been crowing about this for years now. WFH by default could easily relieve pressure from the housing market at least in places where there are lots of people who have a job where they can WFH. I would absolutely live 2 hours from an

It's less fun when devtools just shows you the code for the whole thing. Maybe there's a source map that shouldn't be there?

I wonder how many people are using coronavirus as a convenient excuse to stay home to nurse their superbowl hangover. :D

And his idea that this is some evolutionary trait is debatable. The uneasy feeling of not knowing something is probably more related to social proof and fear of judgment by others.

Well, the article states that a solution to procrastination is therapy (cbt, act, or whatever flavor you choose). Procrastination is a manifestation of general anxiety and your brain can be reprogrammed by a combination of reframing your t

I've seen this borne out in practice after administering dozens of phone screens and in-person interviews over the years. I started off with questions that were a little too hard and couldn't get a good read of the candidate unle

You can also ask "why do programmers love GUIDs" and probably receive a similar response. The HTTP protocol is another famous example of user-facing error/status codes that don't necessarily mean anything on their own.

Re safe navigation operator... the idea is to basically port lodash's _.get into an operator, right?

Yeah. Author claims AOC/followers are ignorant yet falls into the clickbait headline trap. Yikes.

As someone who has lived in SJ for most of my life it's closer to Phoenix.

Surprisingly? I'm surprised myself that you expected to be not-bored :) I am a south bay native and only recently does SJ have some cool stuff to do downtown. The beer scene in particular is fantastic.

The bay area is more than just SF. In fact, SF is quite small. Some towns here are actually not so defecated-upon (but expensive).

One thing the author didn't even mention was the disparity of purchasable real estate between places like Austin and SF. Having a middle class salary in Austin will likely enable you to purchase a decent home near the city. A middle

Do you think marginal utility factors into fairness?

1) Try to learn as quickly as possible which parts of the code are critical infrastructure and which parts of the code don't warrant perfection. I know this is probably difficult in an environment where every single character in a PR

I'm surprised that the author didn't like the emacs vscode plugin. I've been able to tweak it to cover most of the text editing and movement commands I use in emacs. In fact I find myself less and less in emacs for front-end

Also, labor is relatively inelastic, if you are 'selling' yours. Switching jobs isn't like switching your brand of toothpaste. If workers could truly capitalize on the real value of their labor, nobody would stay at their j

If this is the solution, then the rich will never stop getting richer. 10% ROI on a 100k investment has a significantly greater marginal utility than 10% on a 5k investment.

Can't really go on strike without organized labor, which requires a union or something similar. I don't think many unions for uber, amazon eats, doordash contractors exist. It's very interesting how some of the most highly p

Are there any numbers from areas with expensive housing that detail foreign investment as a % of total housing purchases? Would be an illuminating stat.

Like another commenter said, using frameworks like flux and vuex allow you to utilize browser extensions that make the 'time traveling' debugging process easy.

They also have a house and some other tax complexities. You are probably right, but that kind of illustrates the ridiculous nuance with US tax law.

The USA tried to balance this with crazy tax rules and brackets, where you will get rewarded if you massively out-earn your partner. My buddy was actually lamenting the fact that his wife got a nice raise at the public library because it w
