For the Ethereum attack that's similar to the CREAM attack, are you referring to the DAO attack, or something else? Can you please share some links on that incident?

Are there any incentives for corporations to reduce waste? Designed obsolescence is the main business model of smartphones. If anything disrupts the profits in this business model,…

Curious. Let's say the Swiss military has been studying other conflicts and strategizing accordingly, but has not actually experienced any warfare in 200 years. Does the lack of ac…

This is the core of my own development: seeing the world and life in this world (or even beyond) as an unbounded game rather than a zero-sum game. A lot of times it's the perspecti…

Can anyone recommend some less opinionated introductory resources to learn reinforcement learning that focus on first principles?

Microservices is for scaling applications that need to handle a high volume of transactions (millions+) with the expectation of high growth in transaction volume. It became a solut…

I remember using Lotus at home. My uncle was a programmer and he taught me how to use the command line and Lotus. Also remember using Logo, drawing some shapes with the turtle.

Agreed! Fear and despair are strong motivators for me. The trick is that fear sits in only when time becomes scarce. "How to start noticing something should be done before it's too…

I have had great experiences sharing on HN so I am somewhat comfortable to share vulnerably about this issue. I have 2 years of experience in writing software but about two decades…

That sounds like a good strategy: form an inner circle of peers that don't have conflict of interest (preferably not sharing the same supervisor, etc.) and being vulnerable with se…

I am torn between the zero-sum and "abundance" concepts. It seems like some people like to promote the "abundance" concept (where one person's gain adds to everyone else) as an ide…

Tech interviews are kind of like a lot of games in life: do something difficult and boring in order to survive, and make it look easy and enjoyable while you're at it.

I feel like sometimes big tech companies give technical interviews when they're not actually hiring, that it's a sort of formality. Can't really confirm it, but thinking this way m…

Modifying other people's code is kind of like a severe type of copyediting.

Is it more desirable to "actually want to create real economic value" and less desirable to "doing this just so I can tell people I'm an entrepreneur"? Maybe there's some value in …

So it seems like what worked for you was a complete change of context for a period of time, and allowing the mind to wander instead of labor towards a goal? That is an interesting …

That's a great idea. I currently have an opportunity to help a friend with their codebase on a consulting basis without substantial pay. I am still anxious and resentful towards co…

This really resonated with me, thanks so much.

Not sure about that, sometimes I feel like I am only happy when I'm doing nothing. I guess this is a good analogy; bottom out, admit defeat, and then start over new. But preferably…

Glad someone related, I think in the meantime I'll keep working at it because I need income somehow and this is a good way to get it.

I've been interviewing for two months (the Leetcode variety) and didn't get any offers. I find that when I can't understand a piece of code, I spend a lot of time on one question. …

I take time off from a job to literally soul-search: meditation, reading, spiritual practice. Doing things for no metric or goal at all except to feel good about myself through the…

Even though I don't believe that articles like this would make the slightest bit of difference, I sincerely admire the sentiment of people who write them.
