This is a non-answer making it sound like this is some complex problem you're grappling with. Do the ethical thing and make it opt-in. Stop relying on distracted forgetful people to be so distracted and forgetful that they give you mon

I've been thinking about doing something similar with my SaaS business that does about $2k mrr, but did NOT consider something this comprehensive. Seeing this just inspires me even more to do the same. Too bad the link to the open star

Maybe it's just the people I surround myself with but I've never once heard someone say they're feeling a tryptamine or phenetholamine rush. As far as the other three things (caffeine, sugar, adrenaline) I think the argument

Big appreciation to the doctor doing this work. Though not sure where this becomes pedantry. Sure, perhaps some people use it to manipulate and sound credible. I've personally never taken "dopamine hit" to be interpreted lite

Folks, just because the author wasn't wearing a Guy Fawks mask with a black hoodie and made no mention of gaining access to the Central Meme Database, that doesn't mean they weren't hacking. They were hacking around with MP4

Curious to know why is it so complicated to build a web browser? Yes, they're probably the most complex piece of software humans have ever created. That being said, it seems like it would be possible to create a browser that handles al

Robots are about as terrifying as a vacuum cleaner. They're fundamentally dumb machines that give an illusion of something more. Pull back the curtain and you'll see a potato brained CPU, ready to take instructions like a well tra

FYI the article is talking about why you shouldn't choose programming as a career. It isn't saying you shouldn't learn programming. Executives, or at least some form of people managers, will always exist, because programmers

Still though where is the balance between anarchy and big brother? Businesses manipulate people and dodge taxes with crypto. Maybe now it will be harder.

Communication is a two-way road. We need to be tactful and mindful of how we're communicating and empathizing with people. Simultaneously we need to work on ourselves so that we don't spontaneously react when we're triggered.

I have a communist buddy who runs a profit pool with like 4 other people where they share an office doing different (often unrelated) work and combine/evenly distribute all of their income/paychecks. Ever since meeting him, I&#x27

From my perspective, in American culture very few people are mature enough to handle discussing income without feeling a hugely inflated ego or completely inferior to their peers. (Maybe true elsewhere but I can't speak to those places

this is a tired old complaint and anybody could say the same about pretty much any job that pays more than their own. Telling blue collar workers you work in tech usually gets a nearly identical reaction to what you just gave. etc etc.

I'm having doubts, seems that most startups and small/medium businesses will not care at all. Have you seen the market? Engineers are ridiculously scarce. Most hiring managers and execs will just say something like "Great,

just spent about 4 hrs getting Python 2 and pip setup on my Mac. Any time I have the misfortune of needing to use python I get cold sweats at the thought of the environment stuff. Why is this still such a massive problem?

Can't all of these problems be solved by only hiring remote workers in-state?

I don't disagree but turning this thread into a snide echo chamber isn't great. Please don't do this here.

This is something im really interested in. How did you get the information you needed to create the creep crawler? Was it effective at all? I'm a programmer and want to make something similar but have no idea where to start.

I vaguely remember a 3blue1brown video that explains this really well too. Something to do with thinking about it in terms of rotations on the complex number plane which can land you back on the axis of real numbers. That was the most intui

It always strikes me as odd that I'm in the top 1% of income earners and even still the only hope I really have of ever owning a house is: 1. moving somewhere super rural 2. selling my business 3. sell my soul to Google or Facebook etc

Shocking and sad news. I always enjoy Norm and watch his work every other month at the least. The world has lost some light. His ability to tell a whole absurd story that sounds like it's building into a huge climax and fizzles into an
