Exactly this happened to both me and my wife when we caught covid. We were offset by about 4 days, so we got to see each other's decline very clearly. We were both pretty freaked out by not being able to think properly, but after a few

Voters will realize that approval gives benefits to centrists, and they will change their voting strategies and stop approving centrists. None of the math analyses shared here take that into account. For example, say three fictitious candid

There's good advice for an individual and good advice for a society, and as a young person it's hard to tell these things apart. Good for society: People should not be harassed or mugged when they walk at night. Good advice for an

There was a years-long conniption over the Python 2 to 3 migration. I also believe that it's ok for a language to break backwards compatibility once every 40 years, but I completely understand why so many language designers are afraid

This was a great way to pull wisdom from many different people, and get a broad idea of what everyone's experience is. Looking forward to more posts! I'm also surprised at how little experience everyone had with bazel alternatives

Low-level and system programming are the areas most hurting for better languages. High level has several modern scripting languages (Python, Ruby, Javascript), and typed languages (Java, C#, Kotlin). Low-level programming has had C and C++

In my conversations with my higher-ups, they really believe that productivity is better in office. They often doubt the measured productivity improvements of WFH, and either believe that the metrics are inflated or that they are temporary,

I updated to 22.04, and Firefox performance fell through the floor. There's a ~500ms delay on scrolling now. I'm going to remove snap from my system and see if things improve, but overall 22.04 is a big disappointment.

I'm just saying there are some legislative solutions that would be effective at reducing major harms without banning the thing altogether. I'm very against knee-jerk bans without any real thought. However, the idea that legislativ

Yes, I do think we can come up with reasonable limits for some of these things at least. The government already does limit bad parenting. Probably not the level you're talking about, but social services will step in if they believe kid

You can have good and bad regulations, and too much and too little regulation. The only really dumb position is that fewer regulations = better always. For example, there are tons of building codes that keep houses from falling down, and ma

I would share things that are true now, but be careful about sharing things that may happen in the future. For future partnerships, the real risk isn't that your competitors find out. The real risk is that the partnership falls through
