where are you people buying your cars? (setting aside the pandemic) you always want to do your research before ever going to a dealer, any dealer. after that you go and see the car + test drive it. after that you talk $$$. if you drag this

i found that people are more open to this idea if they believe i am kidding.

that’s the point. more complex circuits are made from simple circuits. principle still applies. if you think about it, most problems with writing code stem from state management.

this is me being cheeky, but how do you know that the real world is mutable? if you believe in super-determinism and that everything progresses based on predetermined laws you can take the view that space+time already exists in all its pas

yes. there are reasons. and no, you don't need to go all in. you can make a judgement call and pick and choose what you want to leverage. for anything but a trivial service immutability of data as you are processing requests should at

immutability is amazing. you can make assumptions about the data that you have received, it's friendly to caching, it's friendly to crashes, it's very easy to reason about. it's even more amazing when you enter a territo

strongly agree with you. it should be about the principle and not about a poor understanding and application of the said principle. if the principle is: data should be immutable, data should be immutable. that does not mean copy things ove

I think you could dunk a basketball from midcourt easily if you trained for it. It baffles me when people think X or Y are impossible. Sure, for some things you need to work a lot. Genetics plays a huge role. Where you where born and your e

can someone prevent you from transacting on the blockchain if they don't like your face? how exactly do they know who you are? (i get it's not private as in untraceable but it's way better than the centralized system we have

you probably don’t need k8s. vms + lb + asg may go a long way for you. you can always make things more complicated but once you put k8s in you’re going to have to stick with it

a paper bubble? :) seriously now, every leader has this problem. the question is how do they mitigate it and do they let their ego get into the way or receiving critical feedback.

it's a tradeoff between time wasted to react to the situation and time wasted to keep yourself informed. Based on my own experience the time you need to adapt to the situation is a fraction from the time you spend watching the news.

so, at one point I planned a trip to New York and a hurricane made an appearance in the area. Had to cancel everything (you could not fly in there) and we actually got automatic refunds on anything. If this can happen with New York and a hu

this is a false dichotomy. I'm the textbook "i do not watch the news person" and when things like Covid happen you cannot just ignore them. Not only that, but there are many things where paradoxically I'm better inform

this assumes that death is binary: you're either dead or not. this is not how things work. you don't know the precise time duration and what happens unless you are there to experience it. i think the best time to say goodbye and i

yes but no. you only have so much mental energy. i think it’s important to adopt a JIT attitude and be able to learn and filter things when you need them, not as a matter of day to day activities. being informed most definitely does not mak

generalized problem solving could be useful but it’s still going to be a tool that augments us. it will not replace us by any means. the game changer is not going to be AGI, it’s going to be human/machine symbiosis
