See I was doing that, and I guess I didn't do it long enough because it didn't do anything for me. I think that algo is so heavily trained at this point. I think Spotify should really release something that is obvious and UI frien

Yeah I think mostly it was a desire to transition out of my day job (which of course didn't pan out), but also because my friend and I just held each other accountable and sort of shamed each other if the other started feeling lazy. No

Spotify's discovery playlist is a double edged sword. My account is permanently screwed because I decided to listen to a lot of rain sounds when going to sleep for a few months while I had a puppy. Now ALL I get for recommendations are

A few years ago, my friend and I launched our own publication on medium because we were very into comedy/satire. The Onion was the pinnacle. For a couple of months we met every morning in a coffee shop before the start of our respectiv

TIL about Dream Catalogue. I've been browsing through so many albums I would have never otherwise have heard about. Thanks a ton. Love this site

right. its not like our second amendment even allows us to protect ourselves from incompetent/evil cops. it only allows for you to shoot other civilians and prey you're in the right. if you even dare try to defend yourself against

i'm not a node dev, but am seeing the activerecord (from rails) inspired ideology behind this. while activerecord certainly has its downsides, its awesome upsides/ideas should definitely be reused

sure, but realistically this is exactly what has been happening if you just look at the last few years. many people are extremely misinformed and there are tons of propaganda campaigns. finding the real truth is borderline impossible. what

i don't necessarily disagree, but what happens when other politicians/constituents aren't doing their jobs?

practicecodinginterview seems to be extremely expensive. who pays almost 1000$ for 5 interviews? the way i see these practice interviews is so that i get used to dealing with strangers and rid myself of nerves. why the hell would anyone pay

right but that falls in line with the fact that you would have to know what theyre buying at the exact time theyre buying it. and this data is realized money when all trades had already been made and profited from. politics moving slowly ha

it's a tough problem to solve or reason about. i personally don't have any answers around this, but do you allow hate to spread and then be reactive about it and deal with the consequences? or do you nip it at the bud proactively

aren't their trades a lagging indicator anyhow? it just shows what they've already done so it doesn't seem like it would be helpful

where do you get this information? is it publicly available?

and i don't disagree that it's OK for new grads to work for startups to learn a lot. but a lot of startups hire for senior engineers/staff engineers

related to your related tangent: my great grandfather was obsessed with something called the "Buteyko method" for breathing. He was able to control and basically heal his asthma with it. My grandma (his daughter) now does it for h

i'm kind of super interested (also scared) in the effects FAANG companies allowing remote workers will have. sure, maybe salaries at FAANG might decrease as supply/competition rises, but then all of the other companies that arent

i sort of agree here. it would really suck to build something you love/proud of and maybe instead of getting a C&D, it simply changes or gets shut off and your project is dead. Rather put my efforts into something that I know will
