I wanted to make a music visualizer that would show all of the notes and show what chord is playing. To make the analysis easier and accurate I stuck to MIDI only input. The main p…

I think a work-life balance lens works well here. The guy on the right appears to be a better team-mate, that will always give it their all, even if it means hunger. The guy on the…

I think of truth like π. Some people say its 3, others 3.14, others 3.1415 There is a trade off between energy expended vs accuracy needed vs accurately communicating, but the de-r…

I think of the modern developer being more like a shepherd rather than a builder now. You have to vibe with the machine, but you need to make sure they stay on easy terrain and giv…

I think design patterns should be more descriptive, but people try to use them prescriptively. Being able to say "circuit breaker" pattern or "visitor" is a time efficient way to c…

It depends on your view point and the model you are making. Generally it will be your cost of capital to be used as a discount rate. Say if you borrow at 10%, then you need account…

I was waiting for a while, but then I found there was a page where if you selected "I want to build plugins" then you would have never seen the option to request them. Once I fille…

The way I see it is that the market participants job is to allocate capital effectively, not function as a savings account. Shorting provides incentive to sniff our frauds and enha…

Vanguard, the company behind those funds exerted a lot of pressure on the industry by offering those for such low fees. There are still lots of other funds that charge high fees to…

Its a fair view to have, but Microstrategy did disclose the plan to shareholders and offered to buy them out with a premium to the market before buying. So you had the chance to ge…

I also went through this as my first project in Rust. I thought it was a good first project.

I thought it was going to be a post about a service outage.

I am sure it stops a significant portion of people opening them still. I'd really want to take one apart before going through the hassle of buying special tools. Kinda like how com…

This reminded me of Paul Graham's Python Paradox: http://www.paulgraham.com/pypar.html Seems like Python is now in the camp of Java now given the current trends.

Having a static site and pushing to github pages is working pretty well for me.

I feel like this is covered already. Before I start coding I will always draw out diagrams of the components visually, where as the code is the details to make it actually work. Us…

With many years of practice and study.

I think actually teaching people is a great way of getting mastery at something. If you teach people and they get good results you can be confidant you know enough about the subjec…

While imposter syndrome might be uncomfortable, I think its generally trait that helps someone become a good developer. By realizing you don't know everything you are more inclined…

It seems like a kid should be more important than being the best worker imo. Seems like sensible priorities. I don't have a kid though.

Seems like the problem isn't the lack of blogs, but ways to find new ones. Kinda weird reading a blog post about no blog posts, like it being read disproves its point a little bit.…

"Bitcoin is an experimental digital currency that enables instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Bitcoin uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authori…

What about when an algorithm shows someone an ad to make them buy something? News feed algorithms control some peoples thinking imo.

I recommend getting a good text book and working through that. That gives you a through overview so you don't miss certain areas. I can't recommend any for particular subjects, but…
