Great stuff: - Brief. Respect people's time, and take a stand. - Tailored, to solopreneur. It's tempting to be drawn into building beautiful tech, chasing resume skills, or building domain experience in crap work. Putting yours

For the theoretical background, see Ronald Coase on Transaction Cost Economics. The law can place liability anywhere. In a situation where transaction costs are zero, it doesn't actually matter where liability is placed, because the p

hmm: Where CartaX and the cap table business converge is if we match a trade in the marketplace, we go to the company and ask if they will allow it. Meaning: the company does not give permission or know that CartaX is tra

In sum, all as promised: - E cores can go slower, to save more energy - E cores can go faster, to reduce the need to move a workload to a P core - P cores go faster overall, as expected for a new chip Left untested is the real new feature i

I appreciate the technical details, but the only thing that really mattered was the completely arbitrary design decision to make it look like paper, i.e., to adopt a minimalist approach. This has been the distinguishing feature, as against

The main driver is not HR wanting a back-up's or the company mollifying investors but a reduction in the power of mid-level managers. Before, headcount was basically owned by the manager, and s/he filled positions to maintain thei

I like the simple approach. And as a practical matter, just chillin' is safe. But still: [sitting] can get uncomfortable. But when you finish, for some strange reason you feel better Meditation requires some guidance approp

I really, really appreciate key people taking the time for retrospectives. It makes a huge difference to people now who want to make a real difference. But I'm not sure Rob Pike states clearly enough what they got right (IMO): they ma

Strangely, the first paragraph "the EV myth" has nothing to do with EV's, but is spot-on: a doom loop of consumer preference: Drivers saw the vehicles around them getting bigger, so they wanted bigger cars to m

Great progress, but the last 10% often takes 50% of the time. In this case, there may be little value to the last bits, but people are going to wait to use these until that last bit is done, for fear of what might happen. Which triggers ran

This particular document is mainly about how to use C++ carefully, and much of the advice is surprisingly pertinent and still in use today. This document doesn't convey what was unique about Taligent: it pushed one of the earliest open

It's extremely hard to write good tutorials. This one is very clear, but seems to have no time budget or reader model. I appreciate the clarity and the extensiveness, but it mainly makes me wish for something different. Today there a

The key thing about flying is that you as pilot are responsible, for people's lives. Everyone who flies has sufficient knowledge and skills, but many don't have good decision-making, particularly under pressure. You're likel

It's crazy to say Apple is late to AI or missing the boat. Yes, OpenAI gets a lot of attention to the extent LLM's could displace search - except search is based on ads from links and selling data, which are even less promising fo

I think you're on to something, but tangled in the implementation. I see this as capture of processes -- their invocation, context, and results -- in a relatively normalized form for analysis and re-use. There are many possible applica

Perhaps to state the obvious: all these lessons mostly pertain to making large companies with history, processes, and bureaucracy/coordination costs a little less stuck in self-serving projections. Indeed, most of the Amazon business h

Aside from copyright, this raises anti-trust issues. Courts generally uphold provisions against reverse-engineering (as protecting internal, proprietary knowledge) but are more welcoming to copying interfaces (as encouraging market substitu

The DAG framing might miss the key points and attract contention. The "law of Demeter" is a design rule that says to only work with data you directly know about - i.e., friends, but not friends of friends. It make local reasoning

For QA to be respected and protected, it has to identify what it's responsible for. Luckily, that's easy: the "fault model", all the ways things can break. That tends to be a lot more complex than the operating model, t

This is (was?) the most accurate crowdsourced medical site I know of. Only providers, i.e., ER doctors, may edit, and it only targets providers and residents. ER doctors focus on quickly segregating acute issues into urgent, critical, and a

Isn't it always easier to learn from others' mistakes? Google has the problem that it's typically the first to encounter a problem, and it has the resources to approach it (from search), but the incentive to monetize it (to g

Legislative proposals like this in an election year work to put candidates on record and fish for contributions. It seems unworkable. The $50M threshold for hedge funds is easily circumvented by breaking up funds, and the "on any day&

This is interesting as a sustained exercise in formalizing a difficult domain. The lesson seems to be that it's essential to ensure computability, but usability and transition costs dominate the adoption decision, making formal methods
