Leetcodes are fun! You should find pleasure in solving puzzles and figuring things out. Consider yourself lucky that the interview process contains a part that is basically a game that you can get good at by memorization.

> meaning what used to be 30-50k citizens per representative, is quickly approaching 1M citizens:1 ratio. This cannot possibly be true. The US population has increased from 125M in 1932 to 330M today. That's a 3x multiple, not 20x o

I think this hasn't been true in a long, long time. The most recent example of major contributions coming from someone in their 20s would be Evariste Galois around the time of the French Revolution. Teens? No way, not really ever.

Agreed! I'm randomly Google Street View-ing through town, and it looks... modest but actually quite nice? Check out these pleasant-looking houses in the summer: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Massena,+NY+13

Yes, this is called Professional Liability or Errors & Omissions insurance. It's an important insurance category, but limited in market size. It's uncommon to have e.g. human sales representatives covered for this, but your do

Insurance tech guy here. This is not the revolutionary new type of insurance that it might look like at first glance. It's an adaptation of already-commonplace insurance products that are limited in their market size. If you're cu

I owned a little battery-powered, handheld electric eraser when I was in middle and high school. It cost maybe ten dollars, and it was so great. Amazing precision and super effective -- way better than the eraser nub at the end of a pencil.

Virtually all of this is false. AI is neither burning the planet nor a ponzi scheme. If you're concerned about energy costs, consider for just a second that increased demand for computation directly incentivizes the construction of dat

I agree with this, so much so that I wrote a long essay about this Modern web design has completely lost the design idioms that so much thought went into during the desktop software wave of the 90s and early 2000s. This is a great loss fo

Strong agree. The respectful act of other package managers would be consider themselves deprecated and point to uv instead.

I think that’s only partially true. Many consequences are not foreseeable. But some of them totally are. We have the power to act on those. I think that there’s a real possibility to do a lot of good with some wise, cautious policymaking at
