> - Scala adds an Option type, whereas Kotlin adds nullability checking for existing object types. I like null coalescing, but Scala uses a more generic way to handle nulls like Options. After working with both, I'm not sure which w

I love Scala. But arguing with intellectuals who HAVE to use these feature just because they can is a struggle I hate dealing with.

Going outside my current views and reading other viewpoints, especially "A Random Walk Down Wall Street." Also, after taxes and fees, my returns (if I made money) weren't that great. So I decided to try long term strategy and

I dunno. It depends on your view. I wasted so much time looking at charts, studying, and stressing out over the market. The passive strategy gave a lot of free time to do other stuff. And I have on fewer thing to worry about. Also, even wi

Passive strategies so far has done better than active strategies. It's the most recommended system. I've tried trading before. I studied all the technical analysis, the fundamental analysis, etc. I know my candle sticks, trend lin

In my experience, most people who do coding challenges are the younger folks. As we get older, we have better things to do than do coding challenges, especially a "few hundred" on our spare time. They might have other hobbies or r

I worked at a company, not a FANG, but had interviews like a FANG. We had a solid team. But some of us believed we wouldn't be able to pass our own interviews.

Olive oil is a fat. There is 120 calories for 1 tablespoon. Sure it’s healthy fat, but it still has a lot of calories. Butter actually has less calories per tablespoon than olive oil.

This is why I use tools like fakespot and reviewmeta to make sure Amazons reviews are somewhat accurate. Sure, it's not fool proof, but these tools attempt to filter the obvious bad reviews.

Mostly fats and carbs (sugars). A teaspoon of olive oil is about 40 calories. And most people use a lot more than they realize, especially when it requires sauteing. That can add up quick. Also, using fattier cuts of meat compared to leaner

This isn't surprising. We're conditioned to eat great tasting food and lots of it. Most American cities have a car-oriented culture, along with sedentary lifestyles; therefore, not much walking or NEAT (Non-exercise activity therm

Usually, healthier cooking doesn't taste as good. Most of the food industry is focused on providing the best tasting food so people will buy them. How do you make food taste good? Add a lot of fat and/or carbs, which are the macro

It's not technically ageism. You're right. But there's an engineer in his 50's, who worked in his company for many years. He had intimate knowledge of its systems and domain. But his company got bought out, and the new o

I agree. You need to be the cool uncle or older brother who shows them new tricks and cool stuff. You need to have a mentor like quality for their career growth yet still talk about the latest movies, technologies, games, memes, random geek

I'm a software engineer in my 40's. I also worry about ageism. I don't want to victim blame. There is probably discrimination. But I think the older developers have some responsibility in defeating ageism. I know a few SWEs w

My pediatrician said I can read anything to her at her current age (under 3 months). From my research, yes, it does matter what you read to the child, but it depends on the age. For someone like my daughter's age, the interaction and p

I recently began to read out loud for my newborn. Currently, she doesn't understand what I'm saying. Therefore, I can read whatever I want. Sometimes, I read her technical or scientific articles, adult-level books, etc. I read in

Last of Us 2. It has your standard zombie tropes. But playing it this year and experiencing the politics of Covid-19, the conflicts among the different groups felt more realistic to me.

I haven't seen Hamilton yet, but most "hyped" up musicals have lived up to the hype for me. Eg. The Wicked, Phantom of the Opera, Rent, etc.

The last season brings the whole series down IMO. But in a way, it was almost meant to be for the last season to be worse than the others. It was almost fitting based on its themes.

The Last of Us 2. A lot of people were anticipating the game. And I'm surprised how many people hated it. Maybe to them, it didn't live up to the hype. But it lived up to the hype for me. I just finished the game and loved it. Fun

I agree. I used to use 2-3 monitors. But now I can get by with one. I think it helps me to focus. Even having slack or email gets distracting since you'll see it update. So I have it hidden behind other apps in my main monitor. Sometim

I disagree. I think Samsung tried to do a "smart camera" with one of their mirrorless lines. It didn't really sell well. Besides, most pros will still want to use Photoshop, Capture One, Lightroom, or whatever to edit their p

The X100 series is a cool camera. I had one since the first version of X100. But I found it more convenient to pull my phone out instead of carrying that camera. I do have a X-T2 if I want to take more "serious" photos.
