Reliable 9-5 hours are also very difficult for narcoleptics. This is important to consider in matters of law, because it’s a disability and must be accommodated. E.g. if they’re in a managerial position. Unless we’re suggesting narcoleptics

Sometimes if I'm working on the weekend, I'll save the emails in drafts and send them out Monday morning, because while it's ok for me to work on my company on the weekends, I want to make sure my employees know that they ar

One way to dispel the idea that everything has been invented is to imagine something small and mundane – but 100 years in the future. It seems unlikely that people will be writing code or picking out groceries the same way they do today, fo

People only left digg because there was someplace else to go. Where would they leave Reddit to?

Heisenbugs in AI are also interesting. As computers approach sentience, it will become progressively harder to explain their behavior. Why did you eat a bagel instead of eggs this morning? Usually there isn't a scientific answer. In th

Very true. What caught my attention as a graphics dev is how legit their SDK design was: https://rawgit.com/shawwn/magic-leap-docs/master/v0.11.1/api... i.e. If you imagine writing an SDK for a bag of ho

It had some effect. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12387493 HN modding seems like a thankless job, so it seemed a bit misleading to imply HN was ok with it. I think Scott was brought on as a mod since then too, so the

So this opportunity will ~never come again, but if any memers are looking to confuse or annoy older programmers, I made something special for you: https://github.com/strayptr/memes (I wonder who that Lambda is?)

Hello. I noticed Steve is writing a book about his time at Google: I have a lot of good stories saved up that I’d love to share. Google corporate didn’t much care for my blogging, and even though they never outright forbade it, I received

There was interesting discussion here about disk usage over time: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16154682 I wanted to ask again here, directly to Bitcoin techies: How can BTC survive 100 years if no one can download t

The tree visualization was kind of cool, so I turned it into a library called d4tree. https://github.com/shawwn/d4tree Throw it any JSON data whose structure is isomorphic to http://rebecca-ricks.com/pa

If anyone is tired of Webpack configuration issues / slow performance, give Parcel a try: https://parceljs.org/ The project is less than two months old, so Parcel might not be a good fit for you. But if it is, it'

What will BTC or ETH hard drive usage look like 100 years from now? Has anyone run the numbers? It seems like the disk usage will become untenable, but maybe someone has a plan to deal with it.

The Intel flaw exposed something interesting: We could get a >50% performance boost by ignoring security. Think about that. 1.5x - 2x boost, on a single core. That's like doubling a CPU's clock speed, except more powerful since

On the other hand: At Google I worked with the Gmail performance team to decrease server downtime by detecting anomalous behavior before server failure. I designed and implemented an original anomaly detection algorithm based on local outl

Possibly, but the space requirements for crypto shouldn't be underestimated. I think Satoshi kept 1MB blocks because he realized it would quickly become untenable for most people to run full nodes. ETH has similar problems. What does t

Write like you talk, and usually you achieve both.

So, funny story: I registered the "nazi" npm package. When you require it, it says "I did nazi that coming." That's it. (Though it would've been a funny name for a linter.) ... Or it did. I received a harshly

ParcelJS dev here. Currently engaged in a #BundlerWar vs webpack. I made this debug visualization and figured it might be useful as a standalone feature. Parcel just spits out a DOT graph, which you can run through dot/neato/circo

The future is long. Computers will be around for thousands of years. They've only been useful for the last ~60 years. A programming language needs at least two things to succeed: a niche, and corporate backing. Almost every successful
