The exact law is a bit more nuanced than a "tax deduction for software engineering", but I'm guessing OP put it that way because it makes for a snappier title on a SWE heavy forum like this one. I would check one of the threa

If you're getting what you want out of your reading then more power to you, but I think you'll find that devoting your full attention to what you're doing fundamentally differs from doing it in the background. Why play GTA wh

I'm no expert typist and I can't speak to the OP's claims that a bump in typing speed translates to a corresponding increase in productivity, but I can attest to the fact that simple time spent practicing will improve your sk

A side note to the general point of the article, but I hate how the tech industry uses the word "democratization" to mean "lowering the barrier to entry". These concepts differ from each other but many use the former ter

Might go against the grain here but I actually quite like the website, as minimal as the new one is. I don't want to oversell it, since it's not really super "out there", but the author put some nice humanist touches the

I think there's a disconnect between what you and the person you're replying to are defining as "tinkering". Your conception of it seems more focused on the end product when, to use your analogy, the original comment see

Curricula assign these books to students so they can learn to interpret their meanings without needing it explicitly stated. Of course, the teacher will offer an interpretation after the students have tried their hand at it, but the whole p

This scandal should be a wake up call for anyone who reads or writes comment on the internet, including folks on this site. As good as the moderators here are, there's no avoiding the deluge of bots that have rapidly proliferated acros

When people talk of AI as a loneliness cure I always remember a quote from an essay by Laura Preston about her time at an AI conference [1]: "I was an extraterrestrial taking notes on the problems of Earth. Finding pizza in your area w

This interview needs to be edited a bit; just posting the transcript of the zoom call really hampers the readability and flow. What works for a podcast is not the same as what works for a written piece.

If the crypto community ever plans on being successful, it needs to show the world outside crypto why it should use cryptocurrency. Right now, people use these coins mainly for remittances and illegal trade because they allow the users to s

I'm not sure if it applies to the original commenter's situation but in many places, especially in the US, you don't need an architect to build a new home beyond rubber stamping some documents on file with the town, and somet

1. I find the actual typeface made for the track rather pretty. Definitely of an era, but given how in that era's graphic design is right now I'm surprised I haven't seen more of it out and about 2. Sadly the article neglects

I think you're generally right about the OP, but I don't see your alternative method as a tonic to the problem the author is discussing. I agree that treating reading as the only way to ingest information is probably wrong, and th

I'm a still relatively early career back end developer, and github basically acts as a portfolio for anything that potential companies would want to see. Think about what a portfolio site demonstrates. For a front end developer, these

Given the structured nature of the data, how does this compare to running a specialized classification model that looks for specific words in a review and uses those to assign Chefs to Restaurants? With some fine tuning, you might get more

I would highly recommend that folks read Liz Pelly's Mood Machine , which is referenced here via the Harper's excerpt, not just because it shows artists' perspectives on the long tail model that tech pitched to them, but b

Judging from the author's other assertions, this suggestion probably comes from a place of not limiting yourself to system fonts given that they're so prevalent. I can't say I agree either, and would add that some of the &quo

The way I read it, the author says not that the creator as persona is synthesized by metrics, but rather that Jimmy himself is subsumed by MrBeast. He is being authentic, but that's true only because the platform inculcated those des

A calendar with good art or photography can be worth it as a wall decoration alone. I find them especially nice for the kitchen because it isn't the end of the world if a $20 calendar gets wet or dirty.
