I guess I did say that… Would delete it, but can’t so I’ll clarify instead. I just think that “happiness” is sort of a banal goal in life and at work. However, the study’s definition of happiness included meaningful work, and I have to admi

Almost had an outburst when I read this. I don’t want to live in a bubble of happiness, I want to work hard, learn a lot and make the team/company wildly successful. To me that’s fun.

Ok I’ll bite. I don’t like the rights framing, and I don’t quite know what is meant by trust. I want to replace the word trust with information. Information doesn’t flow along the edges if the org chart, nor does it flow down from manager t

I think you’re saying that to get the most value from remote work, ICs have to move to low cost areas. That’s asking a lot from people who left their home towns (or home countries) to live in a software hub. But it’s a non sequitur anyway,

For me wfh has been something like the unpleasant social dynamics of a high school cafeteria, as opposed to the focused learning environment of the chemistry classroom. I don’t miss the commute, but I miss the collaboration. Some companies

I moved a few years ago and decided to sell a lot of books. I scanned the bar codes for about 50 and tried to sell them on Amzn. For my technical books, I learned that not matter how valuable the books were to me, they were worthless. Howev

The concentration of big tech has become so intense it feels like a terrible defeat of the free software principles espoused in this post. Freedom is the main casualty of the current computing environment, which consists of a phone, which l

I suppose that if we sent an ark to an Earthlike planet in another star system that would count as reproduction. Not that it’s going to happen…

Great article, and raises the bar for what can be achieved at a young age. But it’s about building a winning team and not so much about broadly improving math education.

Actually, it's not simply the proportion, but the fact that over time the proportion of wealth held by the richest has been growing really fast. So, to use your analogy, I agree that a small number artists commanding the lion's sh

i think i understand the sentiment— my fb network knows all too well what i’m listening to. OTOH i really like following threads of discovery on Bandcamp. People who’ve bought records that I really like are a great source of new music. And

It also seemed like the original intent was to support generics and metaprogramming through code generation and AST manipulation, the argument being that code generation and AST manipulation are the most general way to build complexity and

Too bad it turned out that project to rid the theory of fields, which are invisible and extend everywhere through space, failed. However, I guess what's coming is that space and matter itself is defined by these fields.

One application I can think of would be to dialog systems. Tracing the meaning in a conversation between two strangers is determined by statements and responses, and the degree of unexpectedness of each utterance. Say a person asks a yes or
