I guess I should have clarified that I've done both. For me, personally, having co-founders was more fun and more successful. YMMV of course :)

by uup 4y ago
The argument isn’t a that convincing. Basically, instead of having a good co-founder you could have a bad one. I don’t know enough about the data used to comment on that aspect. Perhaps, statistically, it really is better to found solo. I’m

Lots of people have already given you plenty of opinions, but I’ll add one more: I love thinking about my child. Making her life amazing and safe makes me feel good.

It’s liberating but also tiring. Sometimes it’s nice to have someone to lean on. To commiserate with. To share success with. And no one is perfect. It’s nice to have someone fill in your weaknesses. I solo founded once. I won’t do it again.

You could use DoH, which you should do anyway. No reason to leak DNS lookups to anyone.

VPNs don’t help privacy at all. They allow you to substitute trust in your ISP for trust in a different entity. For some, that may be good, but for most others it’s a wash.

Yes, but that’s the OPs point. No one cares about the price of TVs. The metric (core inflation and CPI) isn’t measuring peoples experience accurately.

Inflation was high before the exchange rate started to dip. I’ve only researched the U.S., but there is a lot of evidence that free money greatly increased demand and lead to inflation. Given that a lot of the world invests money in the U.S

Read the definitions of recall and precision. Interviews focus on precision at the expense of recall. That doesn’t mean interviews don’t evaluate competency. It’s just that not every competent candidate can pass.

Doesn’t a majority of the hash rate come from Chinese miners by hydroelectric dams? I remember there was flooding in China a year or two ago that wiped out like 50% of the hash rate. I’m always very skeptical of estimates about Bitcoin’s en

You would really like sqldelight[1] then. It takes the concept of an ORM and flips it on its head. Instead of mapping function calls to SQL statements, it lets you write SQL statements and then generates classes for you that have methods fo

I think the author's fundamental misunderstanding is that most people, even people like himself who "take learning seriously" don't read popular non-fiction to learn. Most people read for entertainment. So you shouldn&#x

No one knows how a military conflict between China and Australia would end. I can’t imagine it helps Australia to have a major naval military installation between Australia and one of its major allies however.

China also has a security agreement with the Solomon Islands. While a tiny nation in and of itself, the use of the islands by the Chinese navy allow for quite a bit of force projection into the pacific. It would be very hard, for instance,

The history the object is what makes it interesting. A perfect replica of the painting will never have been touched by Frida Khalo, nor will a digital copy of her work. Books and documents are mostly fungible. No one cares about the history

That’s legal so I’m not sure what the SEC can do about that.

Let's saying the average human values shelter at $X. Even if it were always possible to arbitrarily build upwards, it still makes sense to buy land because the value of the land would be $X * number of people who want to live on the la

The saying can apply to any arbitrary area of land. It doesn't necessarily mean the entire Earth.

by uup 4y ago
There really is a lot of truth in Mark Twain's old adage: "Buy land, they're not making it anymore." I think there is a certain amount of delusion in expecting any static resource to meet monotonically increasing amounts

I did qualify my statement with "in the past." I was pointing out that Java did, in fact, have a lot of annoying knobs to turn. tbrock was advocating against having such knobs as they make deploying a language diffcult. The fact t

Fabricating data is fraud. The reputation of the university is harmed. The public is harmed by potentially providing grants for follow up research. Other researchers are harmed by wasting their time. It seems like one potential fix would be

I agree. It feels weird to attribute to cooling effect of the structure to the little holes and not to the thousands of tons of stone that can absorb heat. I just moved into an older building and it remains very cool. No jaali to be found,

Maybe now, but in the past you'd have to worry about things like running out of PermGen space. There were definitely more knobs than a typical container environment.

This situation is creating an entirely new meta in the chess world. It’s clearly advantageous to have others think you’re cheating. Players should start deactivating their chess.com accounts, start a rumor that they’ve cheated, and then tak

If you look at FIDE’s statement, all they did is ask for a single shred of evidence that Niemann is cheating OTB.

Yea, I see. I originally interpreted your comment as being about game developers, but you were actually talking about game engine developers. In which case, we agree :)

In most game engines, constructing the rotation matrix is trivial. Something like Quaternion.Euler(0, 45, 0). The ultimate position / rotation of any given object in a game is usually a compound transform computed via matrix multiplica
