The problem with Discord is a lot of people can't figure out how to use it. It also requires sign up

Clojure encourages functional style code through its immutable data structures and a set of (mostly) referentially transparent functions that operate on them. But clojure is very strictly imperative. Atoms are easily accessible in the stdli

Zoom does just work - I've used hangouts/meet, skype, whereby/appear.in, discord, talky Of all those Zoom had the best balance of stability/resource use/call joinability I find meet a PITA to set up and invite rando

You've hit the nail on the head - breastfeeding is entangled with our relationship with nudity. I don't personally condone eating nude in public in a restaurant, but there is a broad spectrum of ambivalence towards nudity. For ins

Incidentally, I am learning Haskell right now. And fwiw don't have a CS degree. I think the difficulty of Haskell is overrated. It's just different. The crowd who complain about Haskell being hard despite x years experience are th

I struggle to listen to Bach for an extended period of time. I think I don't "get" him. Tbh it's probably that, because actually playing his music on the piano is always a joy so it's probably skill to listen + anal

You can't just data this stuff. There's so much nuance and context in the data that it's very hard to compare countries. Singapore is militant on testing everyone. This presumably gives a high fidelity on the "true"

Taking a step back from her story, I find it so weird that we stigmatise some of the most universal human experiences. Essentially every person will piss burp fart and poop. And almost every person has one of two genitals. (EDIT and our bio

It sends the message "I don't care about you" very loud and clear. Don't be surprised when your employees suddenly stop caring about your company

SICP is hard but remarkably complete. If you are vaguely familiar with the maths that is chosen as the domain then you can mostly begin the course from scratch. It starts with some really simple stuff like (+ 2 2) Then introduces some conce

Once upon a time "the root of two is an irrational number" was heresy and the proponents were killed for blasphemy.

That compute isn't free - it comes at the opportunity cost of being sold to a paying customer so it makes sense to price it internally even if it is "virtual"

So if you move from Seattle to SF then would you be free to work at another company of your choosing?

So say you join Amazon and after 1-2 years you're no longer happy, is jumping ship to FNG (+Apple/msft) out of the question? Seems a little overzealous if you are a rank and file

Wsb is one community that is a useful heartbeat for overall sentiment but it wouldn't be the first time retail punters wanted to get in on "free money"... like bitcoin

A meme floating around wsb is that the 1k handout is driving this behaviour, and at first I thought that was kind of ridiculous but actually, it makes some sense: On one side you have people who are bored and have nothing to lose, the hando

Yeah Atkins was quite heavy. That said, I think it does a good job of being self-contained. You could more or less get 80-90% of what you need with only that text from high school knowledge. But without additional resources and teachers sup

SICP is great for me because I get new things from it on repeated readings. The original content is ostensibly suitable for a freshman (provided you are familiar with the mathematical domain) but the ideas around abstraction and modularity

For Chemistry - Atkins' Physical Chemistry and Claydens' Organic Chemistry are the bibles. Will take you from undergrad to bits of grad school. Encompassing and clear. It was a bit harder to find as good a bible for inorganic chem

Our whiteboarding question at NeverPivot.mvp is to ask candidates to implement an algorithm to find the inverse square root of a number. We would also subject John Carmack to that technical monkey dance because we don't believe in free

There are a lot of different approaches here. Some of it stylistic. If you've ever played an Elderscrolls game: do you repeatedly mash quicksave save every milestone save every x minutes of play I'm sure amongst the people who cod

If that fails the interview, especially in a startup interview of all places, then that's a red flag on their end. Shows lack of pragmatism, poor communication and unwillingness to embrace lateral thinking. You came up with a working s

Good catch - I had a feeling it might be. Still, WW always amazed me for a GC/PS2 era game.

As an aside, Wind Waker is so beautiful. I remember at the time merely thinking "this is an opinionated visual style" but man did it fracture gamers at the time. But now it feels pretty timeless...

I think "Video Games" is clickbait for HN and overly generic. There's a gulf of difference from Maple Story and Candy Crush to say Star Craft and CS Go

I guess tl;dr not all videogames are bad - it's just a medium after all. But the interactive nature of games and game designer's needs to maximise engagement has led to certain game mechanics which are designed to tap into our des

The UV responsible for vitamin D production effectively does not penetrate glass so it depends how much time people actually go outside.
