This reminds me of a nightmare I had in college one semester when I was taking 18 credit hours and consulting part time. I'd been up for days and had been cramming for a computer a…

I think a lot of people have projects like this going at the moment, but I'm working on a deterministic (i.e. code / data persistence) layer that sits between agents and helps orch…

Hope you feel better soon! What sorts of topics do you enjoy learning about on Youtube?

I hate it, but I'm actually counting on this and how it affects my future earning potential as part of my early(ish) retirement plan! I do use them, and I also still do some person…

My experience has been almost the opposite. Typing isn't the fun part of it for me. It's a necessary evil to realize a solution. The fun part of being an engineer for me is figurin…

> Perhaps he and other true geniuses can understand things transcendently. Not so for me. My thoughts are serialized and obviously countable. You needn't be a genius. Go on a few v…

Likewise. I was 2-3 days into testing positive and had a fever that could not be controlled by maximum strength OTC antipyretics, awful cough producing glue-like greyish globs, hea…

This makes sense. I've mostly been successful doing these sorts of things as well and really appreciate the way it saves me some typing (even in cases where I only keep 40-80% of w…

I wonder about this too - and also wonder what the difference of order is between the historical shifts you mention and the one we're seeing now (or will see soon). Is it 10 times …

In a similar situation at my workplace. What models are you using that you feel comfortable trusting it to understand and operate on 10-20k LOC? Using the latest and greatest from …

The other side of this challenge is that the "technology" is mostly irrelevant for above-average applicants with solid CS chops. I apply for lots of jobs featuring technologies I h…

I haven't used the remarkable but I bought a screen protector for my iPad that's intended to yield a paper-like writing and drawing experience when using the Apple pencil. It gets …

I want to share a personal anecdote, as I recently spent quite a bit of time deciding whether or not to leave Mac OS for linux (Manjaro) this year for my personal computing needs -…

* $3500 price tag * 2D / "Arcade" games support (lol) I'm a buyer 3-4 generations in if price comes down significantly and I can replace my monitors with it. The seamless use with …

Anecdotal: the app "One Sec" broke my twitter habit over the course of a few weeks. Via iOS' automations feature the app allows you to configure a per-app waiting period during whi…

> Given a simple problem A, when adding more options, at some point, choosing among the options requires more effort than solving the simple problem, if only by brute force. Hick's…

I can only speculate - but I'm really curious. Looks like they may have launched a hypersonic missle that reached speeds of ~Mach 10[1], and the US (publicly, at least) seems to be…

"Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle For the Soul of American Business"[1] by Bob Lutz tells this story really well, from Lutz' vantage point trying to salvage General Motors fr…

Off topic, but perhaps of interest to anyone in Thailand who would like to experience similar views firsthand: https://www.booking.com/hotel/th/thirty-nine-boulevard-execu... The r…

Ownership of single-family residential properties by large financial institutions should be limited to their traditional role - i.e. custodial ownership of a home for the duration …

Whether or not we are in a bubble is increasingly the wrong question to be asking in an age where failure for sufficiently-large institutions is no longer permitted. The question u…

I can totally understand that sentiment. I don't know about you, but for me the obvious way in which politicians and other powerful sorts have abused and perverted religious device…

Right. For a very good (but not exceptional) developer, I wonder if ending up "out on the street" would be a reasonable expectation if something like this became truly widespread. …

There are cryptocurrencies like monero whose primary purpose is to facilitate transactions between wallets that cannot be observed (I think). If they've traded into that currency s…
