#52Earlier quoted context omitted.
For 1. specifically, I like this quote from Jeff Bezos: > I very frequently get the question: "What's going to change in the next 10 years?" And that is a very interesting question; it's a very common one. I almost never get the question: "What's not going to change in the next 10 years?" And I submit to you that that second question is actually the more important of the two -- because you can build a business strate…
Funny because I think we are at a point where I wish averages prices were a little higher on Amazon, by eliminating all the junk and fake stuff off it.
You're wishing for what you think the outcome of higher prices might be, not for higher prices themselves.

You don't wish average prices were higher - you wish the junk and fake stuff were eliminated.

#54I think this is just the wrong way to go about learning things. There are 3 things to learn at any given time: 1. That which never changes i.e. humans, yourself and others 2. What you need to know to succeed right now i.e. deeper in your current tools and systems, or those you'll need to use next month 3. Whatever intrigues you. Maybe this is what you're asking: what's new to be intrigued by? To the latter, I would s…

That's why base skills like being able to confidently administrate Linux systems and maintain networks will be more valuable than knowing Kubernetes ten years down the line. Yes, the latter pays more right now and it will still be around, but it's a trend nevertheless. Linux isn't going anywhere.

#56Writing, one of the most versatile and compounding skills you can learn.
When used for yourself, it's a tool for thinking, organizing information, and understand your inner workings.
When interacting with others, it can be persuasive but kind, eye opening but focused, or walk on any fine line you can imagine. You can teach, educate, warn, debate,... with the tone you like. It's a skill that enables both strategy and empathy.

#57My goal: build an outdoor robot to keep the deer away from my plants. Learning goals:
- Brushless motor control: has now reached cheap commodity status and would be good to learn more about. In the past I was always stuck between DC toy motors and full 6 wire AC motor control.
- Vision system on a small micro with edge-AI model for deer detection. After decades of classic machine vision I think it's time to overcome my neural net reservations and plunge in with one of those microcontrollers that can run pre-trained models efficiently
- Battery charging dock that robot drives to autonomously: learning goal is Oregon weather capable contacts or even wireless charging
My instinct would be to do all this in C++ with some Python as high-level glue but maybe time to learn some Rust? Not sure yet.

#58C
If one has time and want to increase ones foundation, yes, learn C and assembly.
I feel I don't see jobs in those languages as frequently as I do in other more modern languages, but I at least really enjoy the feeling of knowing a tiny bit about what goes on behind the scenes.

#59Here would be my guess: * GPU programming (GPUs have consistently kept up with Moore-like laws) * FPGA/ASIC design (hard but price for all of these is dropping rapidly, so becoming more accessible) * Bitcoin/cryptocurrency related tech, including standing up your own miner, full node, or understanding how to build applications on top of it (web3/etc.) (despite the hate, cryptocurrencies are still around and thriving)…
for GPU programming what area's would you suggest to start with? should i just dive into CUDA?

#60I think systems thinking is needed more than ever. There are way too many myopic decisions being made all across the board. For specific programming languages, I think Elixir is a great investment. Edit: Some systems reading if anyone is curious: * Thinking in Systems by Donella H. Meadows * Designing Freedom by Stafford Beer. I also recommend anything by Stafford Beer. * Anything by Christopher Alexander * Systems T…
Formalised thinking strategies never clicked for me. It’s either completely obvious stuff (almost like trying to teach someone common sense), or very vague generic statements without practical applications.
