   Up to 50k there’s no problems. But, above 50k I’m gonna end up emptying my glycogen storage.

   I’ve been doing small fasts: typically in the morning, I don’t eat anything until after I work out. So, these usually end up being twelve to 16 hour fasts. I would actually like to try to fast for 24 hours, starting after an evening meal. M

   I don’t think FAANG is really that necessarily important though. Sure, it might open up some opportunities. So would making good stuff that people might eventually recognize. IMO, I dong think I could ever get into a faang company. I’m ter

   Immigrants who study CS, yes. I live and been to countries where these immigrants come from. I don't think Americans would have anything to worry about if they stay competitive and take time to specialize. Your regular coding guys migh

   Similar boat here; not Asian, but I was in the military, and got into CS when I was 30; got a remote gig at 36. I get paid far, far less than others, but I also happen to live in a low cost of living country, so it (kinda?) evens out. I wou

   I think this is mostly true. People are still going to want custom pages, etc, but that's why _now_ is the time to "git gud" at building stuff. If you become a wiz, you'll be on the list of consultants for Company X to h

    CS is a part of everything nowadays. I never studied CS; I taught myself. My bachelor's is in Criminal Justice, which I never used other than to find work in other countries (mostly as a teacher) Now I work as a remote programmer for a

    Yeah, but imagine the possibilities... Programmable colors. Programmable taste. We already do this with genetically modifying food, why not do it with code?!

    I’m very skeptical. While the idea is nice ( I love physical cash and use it every day ) there isn’t much control over counterfeiting, etc. granted, this is also true for Fiat, but there are more controls involved. Make a currency exchanger

    lol what? This is like complaining for the sake of complaining. It's obviously a prototype and i have no doubt that there will be some redesigns.

    I think it’s good. Better to find the flaws now and do a resdesign, instead of having astronaughts being blown out into space ;)

    I remember having some sort of feeling "negative-g" at that time (and plenty of people were screaming!) but we probably did have some amount of positive G. Probably not much though.

    This too, though it's not necessarily true for some countries. I enjoy unlimited bandwidth in Taiwan. I've played online games using my phone as a hot-spot (not ideal, but it's possible here). Honestly, I hope Stadia fails pa

    The problem I see with Stadia: lack of ownership of games and bandwidth. I guess lack of ownership of things, at least for media, is something that is just gonna happen. But, bandwidth, that is a big problem. Especially in the US, where int

    Meh. Give me a fully mechanical keyboard in a somewhat portable body. Like those old Apple IIe boxes. This is a joke btw.

    That probably means the keyboard isn’t that good ;) Sloppiness shouldn’t make it feel better.

    Your comment makes no sense. Survival bias? Structural impediments? I get that not everyone can become a software engineer due to many different reasons. Your comment can literally be applied to any other industry that someone might try to

    Coming from the self-taught perspective, I disagree that software engineering is not difficult. It is difficult. Otherwise everyone would be doing it just for the money. Though I do agree with you on the other points, although it seems like
