    Am I too pessimistic, or did anyone else notice the fact that you got everything you wanted with 'the only other asian guy'. Race matters in friendships more than we realize? I fee…

    Tried generating a 6-month plan to upskill in VLSI programming. It was pretty useful and helped lay out a comprehensive roadmap using different sources and projects to try. Also tr…

    Musk has basically discovered that you can ignore existing laws, since by the time lawyers sue and courts order injunctions, it'll be too late and too expensive. Especially when la…

    Another complication - H1Bs are valid for 6 years. However, the physical paper stamp given on passports is only valid for 3 years at a time. So if I chose to stay in the US (and no…

    How about Discord? Or reddit? Would those be limited to kids as well? You can be sure that even if FB/Instagram were to ban kids, there would be hundreds of companies jumping in to…

    Even if Facebook implements these controls, what guarantee do we have that another social app won't come along without these controls? Do we regulate TikTok, Youtube, Snapchat, Gro…

    It's especially bad because I don't really remember my passwords, so I always have to reset password when logging in again, and that refreshes the dev keys so my terminal git push …

    It's like saying, I hope the new pop music trends that all the kids are listening to dies out, and 80s rock becomes cool again. It just isn't gonna happen.

    Thank you, so many people make this typo sometimes I question myself if 'scrapped' actually makes more sense.

    When you click a tweet that is part of a thread and is several tweets down from the top, it goes into that tweet's page. Then when you press the browser back button, it should (and…

    This could be a great use case for chatGPT/GPT-4 - help understand and maintain open source software in perpetuity.

    That's a great idea! Take me back to my best life - 10 years old spending my summer vacations playing RS with my cousins.

    I get a feeling that the twitter mob/vigilante journalism unleashed upon the FTX meltdown story may not entirely be accurate. Obviously something bad has happened financially, and …
