Just go. Maybe you'll meet her in the journey.

I think the previous generation of Hollywood films was not so egregious on this. There were a lot of normal looking famous actors: Bill Murray, Jack Nicholson, Robert De Niro etc. …

At least in my experience, the 'software' people are VPs/management who push and push with short term thinking.

Sad state of affairs. At $day_job speed of delivery expectations are up due to LMMs. I presume that's a general sentiment. So more and more engineers around the world are pressing …

The job can require you to

I find clicking on these form controls very satisfying :)

Awesome! How do you think this compares to the pattern in iOS (and I think Android) where you hold an app icon and the rest start jiggling and then you can tap a folder to move it …

As a tech guy who found an interest in design and ancillary fields recently, I am curious to know more. I assume leather, merino wool, cashmere do provide extra value. But other th…

Imo our reward system was originally used how parent comment describes, and it has been hacked by external stakeholders :)

I find that very interesting and also thought of using Anki for that but decided it wouldn't be useful for me now. Could you give me an example and how it helped you? Thank you :)

That is interesting and I think it's a popular opinion. I think in line with the Epic of Gilgamesh or the Old Testament. But allow me present another opinion. Snakes don't do thing…

Copyright law protects the expression of ideas, not the ideas themselves. Favourite case law that reinforces this case was between David Bowie and the Gallagher brothers. I would a…

For example I'm learning German and I realised I can give Claude a list of the words I heard in a documentary to get plural form, article, definition, example sentence etc, in a cs…

Some of us may still feel we had everything we needed before the iPhone!

It would be nice to have a modern version of this imo. We are more aware as a society of the many disadvantages of alcohol. Granted, alcohol free alternatives exist but they may cr…

Zelda: Majora's Mask! This is probably localization independent since it had cows inside iirc. But in what other games?

And on the employee side: "family", "tribe"

One thing that draw me to Rust was the ecosystem and community. I think the team has made a great effort to create good learning resources and people are happy to help. Admittedly …

I had never doubted whether Java is still relevant, until I saw an article trying to convince me Java is still relevant.

My experience was struggling a lot to integrate without German when I lived in Zurich. Then I learnt German and struggled with Swiss German. Great standard of life but can be isola…

I completely understand your point but would like to point out that quite a few philosophers were peculiar characters that did spent a lot of time outside the library too. Sometime…

Michael Sugrue was exceptional and I am grateful to have watched his lectures. His lecture on Marcus Aurelius has the most views on YT. I also recommend his lectures on Nietzsche a…
