Can you tell me a bit about your background and your journey towards writing WASM, and learning to write a complier? (for context I never took a compiler course, vaguely know what lex and yacc are)

How much of an impact would a Biden administration have on helping with climate change? Beside policy changes would they support moonshot research?

Perhaps we don't need as many overconfident risk takers, and I think of this whenever I read about the quiet millionaire or people who have a flourishing business that is not sexy.

Are there specific cuisines? The Indian options are pretty bad imo, there are a few good places but overall not as good as the South Bay.

You could drop the OOP lecture and leave detailed notes on the course page instead. I'm not arguing for OOP v FP or anything like that, just that for either (and other) paradigms a specific testing approach might be better suited for t

I would love to hear about other models of the world that are employed to think about it. My view is that there's about 5 mental models given how mundane human life is in general (I'm speaking in hyperbole of course).

I think it's a little disingenuous to call America a heterogenous society. While the share of population for different ancestries[1] makes it look heterogenous, a large part of the equation is cultural homogeneity. American culture is

Is there something specific about Vanguard that you use it for, I can buy ETFs on e-trade and other platforms right?

Brilliant. There should be some way to incentivize lite pages, even if only for news websites.

They are at Lyft which tries to solve hard problems like Pricing and Dispatch optimization. For other, perhaps smaller, companies you still need a Data Analyst or someone who can read data and make sense of it, but not a Data Scientist who

Great advice on immutability, separation of concerns/domain logic, and side effects. I think modern languages or tooling should somehow enforce this. I think a lot of code will be better off for it. Specific patterns/zen (like ano

I work for Lyft and was part of this cut. I truly worked toward fixing things, and I don't want to sound salty here even though will, there's not much going on with Lyft or Uber to save in terms of tech. It's shoddy and usele
