When you're headed into retirement, one possibility is to shift to saving more in cash-like options instead of a 401k (or whatever). It's should just be part of your retirement pla…

One of the big issues with this is sequence of returns risk. If you retire and rely on your portfolio but the market dives for a year or two right after you leave the workforce, yo…

Justwatch for me is just showing "Stream this or pirate it?"

I'm genuinely curious about even a hypothetical more detailed example of how some group would go about preserving a problem like homelessness, even unintentionally. I can't wrap my…

This is the big thing for me as well. Just having a source for code to show me how to do certain things was absolutely huge. I don't think I even used his code as-is hardly at all.…

> It's so weird. I don't know what it is about AI that causes people to throw all thought and caution to the wind and charge forward blind. My favorite theory about this is that we…

I've been increasingly confident in my thought that these VCs and tech leaders are basically people who used other people's money to pull the arm on a hundred slot machines. After …

If only somebody had a lifehack for making me remember all these awesome commands. If I do something the slow way it's usually because I don't do the operation enough to burn it in…
