In the book version of his essay, one of the things he talks about is how most of the things people would write to him about being "bullshit jobs" were not his original definition of bullshit jobs. He gives the example of how a lo

But in "no true Scotsman" there's an assumption that there's an external definition of the Scotsman category that is invariant from the fallacious clause, whereas here the definition of the grilled cheese category is the

The argument is that I can distinguish them, but not rank them, because I distinguish them with respect to their essential character. Grilled cheese's essential character is something I view with derision, and its rank increases only b

Perhaps your friend was signaling a taste you couldn't perceive. For example, I generally look down upon scallion pancakes as a category. Consider an American food analogue. Do I distinguish good and bad grilled cheese? How can I when

If you use Facebook the old fashioned way (an actual network of friends) it's probably very pleasant. If you start joining "Groups" which are similar to subreddits, it's the most toxic thing I've seen. I never reall

Funny, I use Windows with WSL and the first thing I do when I set up a new WSL instance is get homebrew (linuxbrew) and install everything else through that if available. apt/dpkg and any other package manager that scatters files all o

I'm the first to point out the absurd levels of gross bureaucracy in any large institution, but my first instinct is to question whether "Diversity Officer" is a distinct job title or just an additional committee that somethi

I was thinking the exact same thing. The article falls into what may be the most immediate danger befalling discussion around meritocracy: an artificially narrow definition of "merit." The essay bemoans private equity firms increa

In Econ 101 you learn there's different pricing models. Goods on a shelf, like peanut butter, are called commodities and will obey a commodity pricing model. Anything else? Won't. They will have different pricing models often bett

The target audience for it, though, is probably us folks who want to remove dependency injection altogether. It was going against the grain before because the whole framework was built around Controllers and the part of the pipeline that ha

Can someone tell me what the heck AsyncAPI actually does ? I've had it bookmarked for a few years because it sounds relevant to the types of things I work on, and I often return to glance at the docs for a while. Is there a benefit t

Well I agree the term "music composition" is not marketable, I disagree on all other points. Actually I think the only thing pulling for AI is the idea that people would prefer to listen to something generated by a computer. Peopl

Breadth and depth Game communities call them both depth, which is a huge error. I played an RTS that claimed to have depth because of the insane amount of armor and weapon types. In the end, the armor/weapon strengths & weaknesses

Bicycle and trains are an "ideal solution" that works for abandoning this Save File and starting a New Game. Since we're building on top of already existing society, in the U.S. it's not tenable. We'd need to rebuil

Events are a part of any good service-oriented architecture. They can replace patterns that involve batch-ETLing large amounts of data from system to system--events are usually a smoother way of doing the same. They're usually more res
