>Hm, most adventures to stumble over are generic events like "kill those 10 guys" and nothing more. I honestly just can't agree with that. Those do exist but I wouldn't consider them to be "most." Perhaps

There's ads on consoles now? Wow... I feel like people would not have tolerated that 10 years ago. I remember reading memes about how you have to "pledge" to the Mountain Dew or else you can't turn your console on... an

Glad I'm not the only one. Was thinking my memory can't be _that_ bad haha.

I honestly think a decent chunk of it was the volatility in "hype" and passed time. It was way over-hyped (by CDPR, journalists, fans, etc). Then when it released, it was dog-piled an (IMO) unreasonable amount. [1] It was then p

I'm a release-day player and I can honestly count the number of "annoying" bugs on one hand. However, I had a decent PC and the state of the game on last-gen consoles was ridiculous and unjustifiable. That said, the game wa

One of my most unpopular opinions is that CP2077 was one of the best games of the last 10 years. The _launch_ was a disaster, as far as a AAA game goes, I will 100% agree with that. However... if you had a decent PC and didn't have un

I know it probably feels a bit hopeless now but trust me. If you learn to build things, provide value, you will have 100s of recruiters reaching out to you and you will mostly be rejecting offers for a change :) I have no doubt reading abou

I will always say that I think if I were to do a startup or launch a really ambitious project, some in-office time would be needed. It's easy to "drift" remote... which isn't bad if you're just working your 9-5, or

Just a general tip. Not startup, but I do make a different B2B webapp every other week, which lets me experiment and improve with each project :) Consistency is great and underrated, imo. User should be able to use new elements intuitivel

Over a decade of experience shouldn't have to prove competence via leetcode, honestly. I fully believe it helps you become a better programmer... but its over-hyped. Shouldn't expect interviewing/preparing to interview to b

I also hate leetcode as a measure of "coding competence." I don't think they're "worthless" but totally depends on your job. I notice that if I'm rusty at leetcode, it takes about a week to get ramp back

Wow... honestly I'm just amazed at the audacity considering the hoops I've had to jump though. Doesn't' seem at all worth it. I guess they're just banking on it being too much of a hassle to do anything about it b

It would be nice to get an ELI5 on this too. I used to play chess and have an understanding of the significance... but I don't think I can fully appreciate it as well as someone with a solid background in both.

Not really books but did some undergrad research on the topic. http://stephendavies.org/writings/mitterederEtAl.pdf We referred to it as "issue alignment" but its gone by other things, IIRC. Basically, in th

I feel like a lot of people are missing a big point. This isn't some "annoying person" or someone causing harm. If its this easy to do it _intentionally_ imagine how easy it is to do something with subtle, unconscious (or c

Easy, just look at what Facebook offers as a “profile border” ;)

It’s nothing new. Remember all the crap the “tide pod” challenge got? I see no reason the place most these trends spawns gets most of the attention.

Used it to “write essays” and 100% as long as you give it a good look over, it’s incredibly difficult to tell it wasn’t written by a high schooler.

Really good point. It seems like some people do get stuck with a really bad variation and are justifiably vocal about how bad it is. Perhaps one day everyone could compare and see if it really is just preference or that some people have so

Interesting... I can't say I've seen this type of recommendation behavior but I totally believe it. The recommending the same video twice seems like such an easy problem to solve too...

True. I do have premium though (hopefully that doesn't make a difference) + adblocker so I never get traditional ads. Another example though... I just watched a few videos about fake self help gurus and influencers. I now have 3&#x2F

In all honestly, I could have a very low bar lol. I do believe it though. I've seen people post screenshots and they have a ton of nonsense recommended. I've rarely ever clicked "don't show me this" too.

I can certainly agree there should be a separate algorithm for under 13 year olds. I've seen a fair number of family or friends with toddlers and you check out what they're watching and 9/10 times its literal nonsense. 3D r

Talking with recruiters again and can agree. The worst experience so far was for a general full stack role. They sent me a 3 page long PDF of job "requirements" which was a lot of fluff and implicit stuff. I get it... but I thin

Honestly, I feel like YouTube recommendation is the _only_ good thing YouTube has lol. I often see a ton of complaints about the recommendations but I've honestly never had an issue. I know that yes, you click on one video and now al

I think this is fair. I do have to say though, as a past "video learner" I've switched to books and I don't think I'm going back. If I'm in a crunch, videos and docs are great. Learning a "new" thing

Fair enough! I've been out of crypto for quite some time. Partly due to the fees. Again tho, that was back when I would try to get into a few positions a day and be lucky to see any good targets around 1%. I might get back into it th

>You can have -1bps/1.5bps maker/taker fees at FTX Ahhh I wasn't aware they offered rebates. I would say if you're a serious trader, that is a better deal.

Sure, but looking at the fee schedule... https://help.ftx.us/hc/en-us/articles/360043579273-Fees Starting out, you're still looking at paying a ton of money in fees just to put on bets. I could do the c
