haven't thought about this book for a while. Dang, it was a fun read. I generally love books that take a simple premise and then explore where it would actually go

Over the last five years I've been in and out of therapy and 2/3 of my therapists have "graduated me" at some point in time, stating that their practice didn't see permanent therap…

But it's not fully self driving. SF Waymo can't bring you to the airport. You missed OPs point, which was that the last few percentage points are the hardest.

Okay how about this situation that one of my junior devs hit recently: Coding in an obj oriented language in an enormous code base (big tech). Junior dev is making a new class and …

did you even read the article? He talks about how he has/will continue to invest significant resources into alzheimers research.

Private industries are not incentivized to pursue the same kind of research as the public sector. An excellent example of this is antibiotics (or antifungal drugs). Pharma companie…

I'm about six years into my career now and I have no clue how to make my 1:1s with my manager more effective. How do you all prepare for your 1:1s, how do you conduct them, how do …

I also had relatives that didn't make it out of Auschwitz. I could not care less.

Second this, I know several close friends who have done the Recurse center and they say it's a phenomenal experience, one of the best things they've ever done. Generally speaking t…

This article feels a little bit pointless to me. ryandvm said it perfectly - a staff engineer is just what happens when you have a senior engineer who deserves a promotion, but wan…

An engineer that makes less impact than a staff engineer but more impact than a junior engineer.

I don't think any dem is saying that. I think they're saying that inflation is the result of a global pandemic, not Dems printing another 1.5T. I think by all accounts the economic…

Yeah I agree, could be confusing to non native speakers though. It's a weird idiom.

People going to flat earth and believing in flat earth are two separate things. As OP said - > People lose the ability to separate fact from fiction, lack the ability for critical …

I'm just learning about this tool now and had a brief question if you have the time: The paper mentions support for zero-copy intranode object sharing which links to serialization …

Why so much distrust for our civil servants? Have you met any of these people? I grew up in the DC area and both liberal and conservative civil servants are dedicated to truth, sci…

In theory, I entirely agree - regulation should not be decided by agencies, but by lawmakers. In practice, this is so painfully far from reality. Do you really think congress has t…

"My kind didn't really slither out of a tidal pool, did we? God, I need to believe you created me: we are so small down here." Lillie Emery What a beautiful image

I thought for a long time that I was trash at leetcode. I would regularly fail the coding portions of interviews. Then a recruiter reached out with a tempting JD and I became good …

I got a 20% increase the other year. But only because I threatened to quit aggressively and got promoted in the same year and was valuable to my small team of ~4 engineers.

I believe it's just stock portfolios as net worth, but I could be wrong

Not true anymore. I went to a shitty state school with no FAANg on my resume, and had a Jane Street recruiter slide into my DMs last year.

I believe that most of the time patients are enrolled in these trials, they've already exhausted all other options. It isn't quite "life-or-death" but rather "death-or-death-or-may…

I think OP's statement was cutting corners. Protein and fat both help you stay full for longer. Carbs/sugar do not. Even this statement cuts corners, but overall science supports t…
