If you consider how knowledge decays, your strategy makes more sense. You get to something like Pareto proficiency in a subject and can then ‘reactivate’ that knowledge more easily in the future, should it be required. You are also of cours

Doesn’t expound upon two of the most important things: (1) focus on business value over technical challenge (if anything this preaches the opposite) and (2) learn how to get as close as possible to the global optimum in the 3D space formed

It doesn’t have to be a unicorn. Maybe it’s incumbent on the rational participants in this community to figure out a way to do what you’re describing. New business models can be even more valuable inventions than new technologies. Perhaps V

Saying that a VC-funded startup can provide the same experience as Bell Labs or Xerox Parc is a tremendous false equivalency. Some exceptions might resemble those R&D behemoths. Most will not because VC - with its attendant growth expec

Your credit card provider might be happy to help you block further transactions with NYT and this is the better path to take. If enough people flag this behavior with their CC provider, it will eventually lead to penalties imposed on the bu

It’s odd (read: motivated by self-interest) that he didn’t make any attempt to establish the failure rate of these startups and the distribution of outcomes for employees. Further, he didn’t even argue for a referendum on equity comp. He’s

Training ML models usually doesn’t have the same uptime requirements as production systems. If your training goes down for a bit, it probably won’t make much difference to the underlying business, in most cases. That’s why the author found

Were they not able to monetize it? I know Mint upsells and has some ads, but was under the impression that the real value was in the data.

There should be a federal law prohibiting issuing any type of equity compensation (including options) without also routinely reporting relevant details (ownership %, FMV, dilution, preferences, etc) to holders. The single biggest problem wi

That’s not at all what I said. A mobile website is not an acceptable ‘form factor’ for functionality one might expect to find in a native app. It violates user expectations and is a significantly inferior medium for achieving mobile clients

This isn’t a mainstream solution acceptable to most users. I didn’t create this environment. I’m just attempting to optimize within it.

Have you written about this phenomenon more extensively elsewhere? Would to love to read about it in detail.

Disclaimer: The below applies to people without families. I think some (talented) software engineers would benefit from going through a phase, at least once in their lives, where they quit and travel. And then try to do something on their o

This turned out to be the best option once I figured out jedi-vim will target the VIRTUAL_ENV env var. Amazing!

Thanks for the input. I was hoping for a less manual solution but maybe this is the only reasonable approach.

I strongly disagree with your understanding of software engineering. In my experience, the best engineers adapt as layers of abstraction permit them to no longer be as concerned about the lower level considerations, such as the ones you not

For people interested in a high-performance Python asyncio web server, sanic ( https://github.com/huge-success/sanic ) is also worth evaluating.

You're thinking too hard. They'll never have to use the ISPs to stop Bitcoin. It will stop itself. It arguably already has. Its central economic argument, that people want or need a currency backed entirely by sentiment, is inhere

This feels like a good use case for HN's mysterious title revision policy. Something that sounds less like we blew past the singularity overnight?

I’m so impressed that he took the route of doubling down on his “F you, you’re wrong” that made multiple generations of tasteless moviegoers irate. You don’t see enough of people standing up for their controversial opinions in the face of p

"Technical debt" is not a computer science term. And, the most canonically tech-world facet of your hot take is complaining about something and then failing to recommend a solution.

It’s this type of subtle, rational-sounding pacifism that paves the way for evil to erode societies. Regulatory institutions have to actively and vigorously prohibit brainwashing of the masses. Even if it’s unpalatable, it’s the only real w

Local development on Kubernetes is in a pretty decent state imo. Minikube + Skaffold. Helm to manage/configure charts. And override resources to lower mem/cpu consumption when running locally. Works just fine for most situations.

This is mind-bogglingly fallacious. Most women enjoy sex just as much as men, if not more. And plenty of them are open to and excited by casual encounters with men (certain types; honestly probably not you, based on what you’ve written). Th

I don't see how you can draw a logical equivalency here? There is one president representing every single American. There are 100 senators, each of whom represents a particular state and subset of Americans. In fact, all you've ma

I don't disagree. And maybe students should go elsewhere. Maybe our society should rethink what qualifications it seeks of prospective entrants to the labor force. What should not change, however, is the fundamental nature of academia.
