If you want to make the most of your reading time, some sparse journaling is very helpful. I started journaling with logseq two years ago. I started by pasting in an HN link, marki…

> I do not think it is meaningfully different from the simpler example, just with a lot of extra steps. Those extra steps are meaningfully different. In your description, a casual …

This is what I'm looking forward to the most, there's a lot of potential for virtual reality with these models.

This is excellent I loved this so much. I cant stop laughing.

I have not laughed this hard in ages. I am in love with this author.

Agreed on Clean Code. I remember nothing practical from that book. Its principal value is that it looks nice on my shelf. Watching Bob Martin's talks, he just likes ranting about c…

There's also something to be said for women that read a lot of romance novels or fanfics and have warped "love maps". Probably not a big % of the population, but it changes the psy…

Women preferring taller men will not go away because its desirability is rooted in biology. Taller men make women feel physically safe. Unless culture reconstructs how women view s…

I agree that his descriptions are less "principles" and more like "heuristics". The overall message of the book, as the referenced reviewer points out, is "do what's sensible." As …

Could you expand on your other criticisms of the book? How does it conflict with your experience? I'm still learning.

Isn't the tragedy of the commons how developing technology consumes our attention spans? Human attention span is a finite resource (we can only do so much in one life), and tech st…

How have you developed a sense for organizational friction? What observations of culture can I use to make an educated guess about how easy it is to do my work? I agree with your p…

Ray Dalio talks about this in his book "Principles." The specific advice he offers is "hire slowly, fire quickly."

I have an unfortunate story of my father's hoarding. About a decade ago, my childhood home got raided by the DEA because my brother allegedly ordered precursors on the darkweb. My …

Wholeheartedly agree. One underlining here is it's easy to fake experience in an individual domain ("yeah, I know python. I read like 2 books.") but you can't fake experience in mu…

The logical analogue here is writing blog posts. It forces you to crystallize your knowledge in a way you thought you understood but didn't.

Something I've really enjoyed about software dev is it really is a super power to your users. Just hearing "Wow I didn't know I needed this" is very satisfying.

If a billionaire did this, people would see it as eccentric but not an addiction. Cause you know, he's a billionaire already. Just let him do it. If your stepsis is in dire financi…

The more precise word would be "emancipate"

Plus it's easy to get a zodiac tattoo in case you forget. Maybe I should get my bloodtype tattooed...

It's worth noting that women experience sexuality differently. You can see it clearly in romance novels. Women don't read smut for the sex scenes, they read it for the sexual tensi…

I was once skeptical of the usefulness of personality tests, but reading Principles by Ray Dalio convinced me they can be used to build well-oiled organizations.

I don't think your comment was wrong to express. We've spent a lot of time cataloging human behavior over the last 100 years, so it's natural to be curious how the definitions rela…

You're X-acerbating the issue.

By the same token, the users of XXX dot com will probably still refer to their posts as tweets. Though as OP points out, "tweet" isn't genericized like kleenex or google, so it is …
