Yes, but it could definitely be true of literally every single desk job. There are also many manufacturing, retail, and warehouse jobs that could be done by someone controlling a robot over the internet. If that becomes practical one could

And don't forget WFH vs working in the office are not two sides of a coin where you can pick and choose your adventure and it costs about the same -- working from an office has notably lower productivity (look at the non-FANG studies),

Minecraft is also one of those rare scenarios where OOP is super useful. Can't think of something more OOP than a block-based world with entities that have similar but varying capabilities, and Java, is of course, the reference impleme

Do they even know who they are, or is this more like a strongly worded letter? edit: It's a russian guy, in russia, so in practice might be more like a strongly worded letter. Downstream effects are more like financial institutions are

I would guess that we will have created, tortured, and deleted millions of conscious AIs before we even come close to recognizing their rights or, even, the fact of their consciousness.

Yeah while we're at it maybe we should review whether corporations should be allowed to hold one after 3 false DMCA complaints ;)

I have been CTO at a number of YC and early-mid stage startups over the years and offer consulting services on the side for just these sorts of architecture problems and discussions, if you're interested, feel free to contact via my bi

While this is generally true, I would point out that a lot of teams are always transitioning from [no process whatsoever] to [something like agile] by virtue of being incredibly early stage. This is the case for many, many startups when the

A lesson that needs to be learned in my opinion. I learned it the hard way, why provide guardrails I didn't have and expect my kids to come out better? I'd rather just re-create as best I can what I had access to and provide advic

I find the opposite is true. There used to be WAY more easy access to straight up illegal stuff right out of google search.

Not true. I had a laptop starting at age 12 and unfettered 24/7 access, which I'd often use to play around with PHP and things until 3 AM :D If I didn't have that formative experience of learning to time-manage and manage my

I for one will be giving my child unfettered and unmonitored access to the internet as I had growing up. I will be suplementing that experience with plenty of education on how to avoid some of the pitfalls, but I find the best way to learn

This happened to me at boarding school in '07 ;) New members to the track team were pranked in this way, and I was quite confused haha

My point is I don't understand what sucks people in. Explain to me how you normies operate. How can you stand mobile ux?

I remember in '09 or thereabouts there was a tool called SpamItBack that literally would just send spam all day to known spam addresses while you let it run.

Experience has taught me they have no such qualms when keeping advertiser money whether or not they revoke publisher earnings. As a teen (back in '09), I ran a domain parking network that was used by a modest number of users (about 50

I don't have this problem. I can't stand and have never been able to stand browsing social media or the internet on smart phones. I have the latest iphone max, but I only use it for comms (phone, SMS, email, slack, discord, zoom i

> Marketing just took different forms back then Right, crucially, it didn't really take form on the internet that much at all ;)

Yes, my personal website had 20 or so affiliate badges / buttons from a lot of the skinning and UX customization sites I frequented. The early days of wincustomize/stardock were a beautiful time

Agreed. The very existence of the IDEA of marketing has depressing implications -- you are always going to see what the top bidder or the person with the best SEO wants you to see, rather than what you want to see, at least as long as playe

I built up Kagi's team and initial infrastructure in Crystal, and though I'm no longer with them I will say they are chugging along.

Years ago as part of my thesis research I created a rather obscure family of data structures called DFI Filters or DFilters for short. The work centers around indexing typed trees such as abstract syntax trees or a web browser DOM such that

I would advocate for 100% but 10% is way better than 0%. I didn't have any on-call peers during my time in DoD so I'm unfamiliar with the structure for that arrangement, but very familiar with regular overtime stuff with DoD.

Even at a startup with zero customers the cost of a bug is non-zero if you plan to allocate dev time to it or you have to fix it to be able to launch.

Another side note, doing a 4-day work week for engineering is a great and productivity boosting practice, but it shouldn't be seen as a carte blanche to not compensate them for after-hours emergencies. If you have a 4-day work week, th
