I'll join in on the show-and-tell portion of this discussion ;) I built a MAME machine for a group summer house about 6 years ago and probably went WAY overboard, but man was it fun. My favorite piece was the cabinet, which I ordered

I hear ya. I meant negative in the "chaotic evil" sense (which is what a grifter implies). This is more "bland/purposeless", which is indeed a different flavor of negative. And btw I agree with you - not the path

I don’t think it necessarily has to be negative (which being a grifter implies). I think there are just some people who think of life as a game where you need to collect as many badges of “honor” as possible. Undergrad degree, business sc

That’s a good insight. The problem, though, is that this pattern kinda works (until it doesn’t). Get your FAANG job at 21, follow the pattern to get promoted, get promoted, make more money, compete to buy a nice house, get married, have k

This comes up a lot here. In short: * Yes, software startups by solo founders are very much still viable. * No, the age of apps/SaaS is not ending * It is not oversaturated either. There are ALWAYS new ideas to build, new products in

1000% this. Same story - was one of the highest of highlights of my ham youth. The local club’s field day operation happened literally a day after my license arrived in the mail and I vividly remember staying up all night totally immersed i

This is an EXCELLENT write-up. Thank you for both doing what you’re doing and for explaining it so well. I’m a software guy and have always found biosciences to be a mysterious black box, and you’ve cracked it open it in a wonderfully enl

I will say - I was a very frequent Jump user in SF, and before you shout "waste!", if you haven't had the experience of riding on one of the older bikes past it's useful life, you should consider this: Jump switched over

Don’t make too many assumptions about Stern just because he dropped off your radar in ‘06. His show on SiriusXM continues to be renewed (though it might actually end soon - he’s getting exhausted). As of 2015 his contract was worth $80 mill

I’ve been diving deeper into Crystal (which I think is amazing and elegant and really fun to code in) and learning Svelte, which is also awesome and powerful. I released a super early alpha preview do-not-use-this-in-production version of a

I'm rapidly becoming a huge Svelte fan. Quick self-promotion plug (but in the name of altruism): I've been working on an open source project that glues together Svelte (on the front end) and Crystal (on the back end). https:&#x

You know, it’s sad whenever a tinkerer or explorer gets killed, but I have a feeling he knew this was his destiny, and this was clearly the path he loved in life. Good on him for being an explorer and pushing the limits. Sorry it had to co

Take a peek at Svelte as well. I've been a Vue.js guy for a while and Svelte feels like a breath of fresh air compared to it. (...which is not a knock on Vue! I still love Vue. But I'm starting to love Svelte even more.)

The stalker thing is real - and I didn’t realize how real until a buddy who’s a moderately-successful YouTuber (750k subs) got his very own. Thankfully it’s a relatively benign case, but man, it’s real. There’s a kid who, for the past ~10
