I heard a podcast interviewing the site owner[0], hearing his perspective was interesting though I don't know how much of what he says is true either. He raised one very salient point, however, which was that ISPs probably didn't

This type of self-advocacy and self-promotion is an explicit requirement for advancement at many companies. It was always a requirement for directors and whatnot, but now at FAANGy companies even ICs are required to write internal resumés,

Yeah talk about good old days. Pidgin or Adium (or Finch, in the terminal), I could have google chat, facebook chat, and even IRC in one app. Throw OTR plugin on that & I we had end to end chat encryption over google & facebook. Ver

No, it is in the best interest of companies extract as much labour value from workers for as little expenditure of payroll as possible. This is not in the best interest of the workers, however. The interests of the workers and those of the

I really love this. One nit I must pick, however, is with the "just-so" nature of the journal screenshots. I see something similar in pinterest-style "bullet journal"/habit tracking colourful journal layouts (exampl

It's using some hybrid of isochrones & walking time "as the crow flies." The subway travel is in isochrones, but once you exit the subway the walking time assumes walking in straight lines with no obstructions in any dire

Off topic but I really wish headlines like this would refer to the firm as "Sequoia Capital." Reading this headline is a bit jarring for me.

Also this question seems a bit ridiculous: "I can decide the time I start and be reasonably confident of having work to undertake" If you're driving a cab, you work when people need cabs. If you're delivering food, yo

@qazxcvbnm I don't understand: you don't want to use the chrome debugger but also don't want to use an IDE debugger... it's not clear what would meet your needs and wants, you're rejecting all the main options. Here

One other question: can GPT-4 reliably modify code? In A Philosophy of Software Design the author points out that code is written once and modified possibly dozens of times, so ease of maintainability/reading is more important than e

Yes I should have mentioned that. If you want to send any weird shape or a piece of wood or something (I recently sent some postcards I'd cut from raw veneer/scrap from a sawmill) the no-machine/hand-cancel fee is the ticket.

This is a fantastic post & I love mail art and experimenting with the mail. One thing I learned in the USA is that while a card can be 3x5 (LxW) it cannot be 5x3 (i.e. oriented in "portrait") because the machines aren't

News flash: the grass looks greener on the other side! I’ve done both, most of my advice is the same as others who’ve contracted. One thing I’ll add: get retainer contracts! I had one contract that paid a couple hundred per month for me t

One can imagine many things, but that's not what happened here. Your comment is confirmation (to me) that FIRE's headline & article are misleading. The article is making you think of someone "minding their own business&qu

In cases like these, details and context are important, and unfortunately they are very scant here. Specifically, one may draw a distinction between someone reading Mein Kampf and posting a selfie on social media with the book (it'

The one thing this is missing is referring to employees with a cutesy company nickname while laying them off. "We'll be parting ways with some talented Floofmates* which is very difficult." It always strikes me that a layoff

Most "back yard" chicken operations do not have adequate area to graze more than a bit. Even if you do, you'd probably need feed to get eggs regularly. I've never heard of anyone raising layers without feeding them.

I'm a huge proponent of backyard chickens and had them for years, but they are, generally speaking, not a "more cost effective" way to get eggs, at least in north america if you are feeding them mostly store-bought feed. Then
