"The father of value investing, Benjamin Graham, explained this concept by saying that in the short run, the market is like a voting machine--tallying up which firms are popular and unpopular. But in the long run, the market is like a

Is it really running Unity in the game?!

Why? At equal level, sure, but when so far above it'd be surprising not to win.

Makes sense. And unless I'm mistaken, to be entangled, they have to be very close to each others at some point, right? And then we can send one of the pair far away and they'd still be entangled. I can imagine some sort of more fu

Biographies of developers or successful/failed projects are great to listen to I.e. Masters of Doom and the like.

Very similar to how I built my previous application. 1) /events for the source of truth (I.e. cursor-based logs) 2) websockets for "nice to have" real-time updates as a way to hint the clients to refetch what's new

ELI5: Redis is really a mix-bag of many useful commands, see [ https://redis.io/commands ]. It has been referred to as the "swiss army knife" because you can build many custom solutions from these building blocks. S

Personally I love SPAs and would still use them all the way instead of Django/Rails. The problem with server-side rendering is you need to start duplicating all the code the moment you need some front-end interaction. Also, I prefer wh

What's risky? If there were one easy and legal way to make a lot of money in a non-risky way, then everyone would do that. Is it more risky to invest in Doge or to give it to some professional hedge funds that have been losing money ev

I highly recommend refactoringUI if you're a dev looking for practical advices on how to make better UI. Also, from experience, back-end folks often think of UI as fancy color scheme, but imho what they most often get wrong is proporti

Potentially applying for a job that you're way over-qualified could fit your criteria. It's not that uncommon for people who retired to still want to work but with less responsibility and more free time. I.e. I've seen former

I've built themes before and one nice feature that I'm missing is color variables to avoid having to copy/paste the same RGB everywhere. It makes it much easier to play with various color schemes but also makes creating new t

Why invest in Microsoft back then? It was just a Basic compiler. Need to start somewhere before leaping to the next step, and momemtum creates momemtum. Amazon started with books. Paypal started with Ebay sellers or something. Airbnb starte

"But with Blitz you can almost forget an API is even there." How does it work for clients using an old version of the app? I.e. if I change the db schema and update it for new clients, what will happen to older clients?

Hooks are implicitly injecting whatever global state in your stateless components, so definitely not a good example of functional concepts imho.

Redux in the react world is a good example of real-world application using pure functions and functional programming concepts.

"over-engineering" is a fuzzy term though. For someone, using a third-party service to handle users auth flow is a time saver, and building the whole flow themselves would be over-engineered. For another, using a third-party servi

My slightly different look on SPACs: SPACs are more like Handshake deals. When two people trust each others, you can save a lot of time and money with a handshake deal. You agree on something, and then (optionally) get lawyers do the paperw

My 2cents: to lower the onboarding, would be great to set it to get notification about what /would/ be bought or sold; eventually users will trust the system and move some of their money to it.
