I think you're wrong, in the same way that folks on HN were wrong about Dropbox–HN: why would I pay for something that provides so little value, it's just slightly more convenient …

From https://nshipster.com/uncertainty/ recently: "Working in software, the most annoying part of reaching Senior level is having to say “it depends” all the time. Much more fun ge…

They test extensively on those types of scenarios. See: https://waymo.com/research/collision-avoidance-testing-of-th... Blog post for the paper: https://waymo.com/blog/2022/12/waym…

Lindy effect? If something is built to last 10 years, it makes it likelier that it can survive another 10.

I wonder how many of those "sour grapes" commenters have actually read the thing–my guess, not many. Then on the first page of the "silly little book," where I already have the que…

Context: I'm a software engineer at a growing company. We're (hopefully) going from a startup into a real revenue-generating service. Along with this comes the usual growing pains.…

The Tesla playbook?

You've articulated the exact sentiment that I have to others before. What can we do about it? Is trying to out-lobby i.e. regulate the CC companies the only way? I noticed that oth…

From my anecdotal experience with a few Googlers: many will micro-optimize expenses this small. I think (hope) they enjoy it.

They spent 2 years at the senior level at one FAANG. Why would they switch to another for anything less than the staff (senior + 1) level? (Not saying anyone "deserves" that or tha…

http://manifold.markets is one such place to do that.

Just curious if you would post a little more of the screenshot? I don't think there's enough in the image for me to tell if it's from a spam address or not.

This project on a quick glance reminds me of the teamlab Borderless Museum in Japan. Interactive shapes, colors, and lines on real materials.

I agree with you that the review seems to have misunderstood the author on this point. I wrote a comment on the blog to explain more. I think the review mixes up the words abstract…

Does that not happen with the other numbers on your screen? Thought it was an artistic decision to have the pictures overlap the numbers.

I can't believe you can say this seriously. Have you not played an instrument or drawn before? Art is in many ways relatively, but objectively, quantitatively more people enjoy lis…

Just read the entire thing, good stuff! Interesting to see what's considered intermediate vs. basic and advanced. Feedback: maybe add a feedback section to the site? Haha. Dissect …

Plenty of anecdotes like this, I'm sure, which is why the article. I also had a friend who interned at Amazon who did not want to go back.

Yeah, I mean that's what I was saying I thought the definition was in my original comment. But taken the way the OP apparently meant it, it does mean something similar to "praise h…

Thanks. So another definition of drinking Kool-Aid would be "praising highly" I suppose.

This makes more sense. He's basically saying, "I love this, but let's not get too carried away." I now see where that comment's coming from! Thanks. Nit-picking again, but drinking…

OT: At this point, I am so confused at what "drinking the Kool-Aid" even means. People on the Internet seem to use it for every meaning possible. I was surprised to see that it has…
