Not at all diminishing what you do, but surely you have a limit past which you say "that's outside of my expertise, or what's reasonable for me to gain expertise given the scope of this issue"? For instance, I manage a t

Do you work in research, or maybe open source?

This very much depends on the GC you're using. But yes, a full GC will take longer the more memory you have. Therefore you want to avoid full GCs like the plague.

You do know that the R value of air is better than bricks, right? And repairing sticks and dry wall is a small job for the weekend vs needing to call out a mason? My house is over 90 years old and has had two remodels, with a third being do

Android was created in 2003. Google bought the company in 2005. The first iPhone was released in 2007.

What counts as complex? Is Facebook complex? Google? How about Netflix? By the measure of “I can explain how they work in a blog post” none of these are complex. But trust me, operating internet scale services is complex, regardless of how

Even if you’re okay with that (I’m not) it seems like burying the lede to the point of lying to say “warming is economically positive” without mentioning that, “oh, but only if you live in Canada” (at least in North America).

The second study says that the economic benefits of warmer winters in terms of less energy needed for warming homes is economically positive as compared to the costs of cooling homes due to warmer summers etc. I’m not going to try and fact

In general, this bias towards preferring data that preserves the status quo vs data that tells us we need to be active in anticipating and mitigating future risks is 1) very human and 2) detrimental to long term success, regardless of the d

Go back 20 or 30 years and the "story" with warming was sea level rise. However, as we learn more about how ecosystems respond to increased temperatures, we've learned that there's many more things to worry about than wh

The “good news” here is that probabilities of 6C warming are reduced from what they have been historically. If you’re paying any attention you are aware that 6C warming would be beyond catastrophic, and that many very negative effects are l

You’re getting a lot of negativity but there’s some truth to what you’re saying. It’s nuanced, though. First: to all the people saying this happens all the time 1) define your terms carefully because there are obvious ethical boundaries her

He’s saying that if you pool enough people together, you will get some bad actors. He’s right, although I don’t know if it applies to the EA situation. A company I worked at, when we got nicer offices that had actual showers, had someone ta

Rough story. Your optimism shows through, and I’m willing to bet you’ll be successful in this transition. I transitioned into this career from the production design side of things (way earlier in my career than you, only worked on a couple

We’ve been working together for three years. I wouldn’t try and pull this off on day 1 of the relationship, but after three years of working together we talked about it for 15 minutes in our weekly 1:1 and I have a day off next week that I

That’s right. I have the 6th off because that was relatively easy to clear. I realize this seems bass-ackwards to how you normally do things. The normal way of doing things results in my not taking days off.

I’ve been working with this person for three years. It’s not telepathy, it’s shared context and experience.

I’ve had an EA for three years dedicated to me (before that in my career it was always shared). They are definitely a super power, but only if you trust them. They really have to have a lot of context to do things you’d normally be doing. W

I’m not sure why you’d feel bad for knowingly manipulating a bunch of people who, if you don’t, could decide to replace you in your job. These aren’t your parents, or your priest. Put it another way: replacing “manipulating” with “managing”

VCs invest in competing companies all the time. There’s even a saying about it “no conflict, no interest” (as a counter-play to “conflict of interest”). They might not invest in a direct competitor, but startups rarely have direct competito

The structure you describe is 1) legal and 2) typical. Preferred shares cost more, but for that extra money they come with preference. What is preference? It can vary, but the term that matters most is that they get to earn their money firs

There are several circumstances where submarines don't actually use their sonar. They have it, but a submarine that is pinging is easily identified / tracked. The underlying question is why they were in an area that hadn't be

While everything else you say may be true, I take issue with efficiency being a function of age. Fundamentally you have no idea how many years you will get. Be efficient at all ages, and live like it might (and might not!) be your last year

Right, a fully mechanical version would have far higher DPPM, and as a result likely not be profitable.

Are you sure they use APNS? They could simply use app notifications.
