I’m going to pay forward a book rec found via a Hacker News comment: Never Split the Difference by Chris Voss. It’s mostly tactics on how to negotiate well, and one piece of advice I’ve adopted is to start my questions with “what” or “how”,

The S&P500 index is about 20% off the highs. The NASDAQ index is ~35% off. And some big tech names are down 70% or more (Teledoc, Zoom, …). The stock market is doing alright. Some investors are getting destroyed. And some new investors

By coincidence, Teenage Engineering is on the front page at the same time as this article. I’ve enjoyed playing and creating music on their pocket operator devices, specifically the PO-20 chip tune one. The sound palette is a bit limited, b

You’ve hit upon one of the key insights in category theory. It’s been awhile, let me see if I can remember enough to describe the sketch… “Equality” is a tricky concept, and various branches of mathematics have slightly different ideas (or

Part of what attracted me to technology, computers, programming, etc is the ability and freedom to tinker and experiment with ideas. If I’m building something professionally, then difficulty in building, reading and maintaining is a problem

My current approach to situations like these are based on “Never Split The Difference” by Chris Voss and “SPIN Selling” by Neil Rackham. For me, I’m trying to identify what the other party _really_ wants, rather than what they _say_ they wa

I think the author is referring to characters in a Unicode string that are combined to form a composite glyph. For instance, a large number of emojis are formed by combining two Unicode characters with a zero width joiner character. Skin to

I wonder if the Windows program compatibility settings would have helped. One should be able to mark a program as needing the 32-bit runtime. Googling tells me that the Windows XP SP2 setting should force 32-bit mode.

In this case (cybersecurity application), there is a complicating factor: you cannot trust that the environment is trustworthy. The out of memory condition may have been caused by malware to disable/degrade the antivirus sensor. For ex

That is true, but that would be the definition of +. The OP is referring to the application of that operator to its arguments, which (depending on semantics) could also be a set of sets, or it could be a rewriting (ie, time based) process.

Just thinking out loud, this feels a bit like the problem ML’s module system is meant to solve: allowing the specialization of modules without needing to uncover the internal details of the implementation. I wonder if some of the same machi

It would seem that the problem is the notion of composition is underspecified in this domain. My intuition would be that one needs a different mechanism of composition aside from the most obvious “use basic logic operators to combine two un

I've just started reading "Agile Conversations" [1], and I found it's a nice complement to the other books mentioned in the thread. It's a little idealistic at times, but I like the focus on shared understanding and

People choose to grow and maintain mustaches, they are choices not an invariant. But point taken.

I was with the sentiment, up to this line (which may have been in jest): “I’m a busy woman, I haven't got time to accidentally date a Virgo.” So, you won’t date a person due to a characteristic that they can’t change or had any agency

I appreciated your earlier comment that talked about how you used signed distance functions to make the virtual joystick slightly expand. I used that as inspiration for some terrain generation in a very basic game I’m making to learn the EC

As a Canadian who lived outside the country for a few years, I would say that most Canadians* are ignorant of the unwritten rules that underpin our culture, just due to the fact it’s hard to see the arbitrary choices that lead to our curren

Not the author, but I think the article indirectly talks about the liquidity in the markets being far higher than it has been in the past. Further, if there is a stampede for the exits, there still have to be buyers on the other side of the

It would be my pleasure :) I'll refer to jonesforth [1], but I think the lessons apply to the other Forth's I've seen. The main core of a Forth is generally written in assembly to bridge the specifics of a processing unit and

As someone who felt that C was the path to knowledge for how modern computer systems "work", Forth and QEMU have become my "stretch challenge" for those with the motivation to tinker. For me, working thru the resources o
