42 would be the answer, huh. and in which case, were it to be true, we'd have a mighty strange prophetic bible on our hands.

on second thought, at least it was entitled to be a poor man's manual for gettin around these parts.

cbogie··on A massive oil spill in the Pacific Ocean reached the Southern California coast
i’ve been getting tarballs on everything and everywhere in santa barbara my entire life. there are several capped oil rigs offshore in the channel.

it seems like even without a spill, these things are dangerous to ecologies over the long term. the petroleum industry has negative externalities at every end and throughout it’s operations.

cbogie··on 'Ice-cream toothache': Cold food and drinks pain explained
ah, in my region, i think the two phenomena are called ‘sweet tooth’ and ‘brain freeze’

former is sharp dental nerve pain, latter is blunt cranial agony

not sure which the paper is referring to vs bbc though. both are quite unpleasant.

wish investment in medical research and therapy development would prioritize substantial impact on a humanitarian basis rather than through cold and uncaring capitalism.

maybe it was an idiosyncratic discovery, but come on. big whoop. hard to relate with folks who jump on this as an opportunity to build a whole enterprise around.

cbogie··on Friends by Robin Dunbar review – how important are your pals?
this resonates a ton with me. i’m known as an extreme extrovert and i love people and make friends out of the pure joy. not to say i don’t have an internality equally as core to my identity - but this year has been extremely difficult for me because zoom/ft/whatever just does not bring me the fulfillment in-flesh time together does.

it’ll end someday but it’s been a major bummer.

hugs to all - we’ll get through it.

cbogie··on Product Manager vs. Product Marketing Manager vs. Product Owner
i’m an in-house recruiter and discovered steve banks’ advice on my own. why would i be in an office where everyone who i might hire is outside of that building?

while there are problems with that assertion, hiring is largely serendipity. as an extrovert, serendipity for me is found while out and about.

cbogie··on Brandolini's Law
bs seems to bias very favorably towards the first mover.

how about we set up some sort of proactive ‘evidence based truths’ thing to potentially preempt future BS.

cbogie··on Woolly Rhino from Ice Age Unearthed in Russian Arctic
as the earth warms and more frozen carcasses of extinct species rich with in tact dna, we may see a version of the imagined jurassic park become reality. i don’t claim to understand how viable the process of growing a complete organism from dna is but it seems like it’s inevitable.

interesting always how literary imaginations from the past drive some will to become reality to some extent.

we should ritualize big imaginations.

Doppler builds security tools that are intuitive, increase productivity, and seamlessly fade into the background.

We’re a small (only three or four so far!) but ambitious team with recent funding from some of the world's best investors and entrepreneurs. There’s a lot of work ahead of us since security has become a growing pain point for companies operating at scale. Security shouldn’t come at the cost of developer experience. We get excited when meeting someone who wants to make a huge impact on both these products, and their career. All roles Onsite in San Francisco.

cbogie··on In Praise of Mediocrity
I have a lifelong philosophy of getting to about the 80th percentile of proficiency of any given activity, craft, sport, etc.

A lot of the enjoyment I get from new things is in the rapid rate of improvement while learning and developing. After about the 80th percentile, diminishing returns kind of curse the activity, which is meant to provide leisure, pleasure, and well being. When it becomes a curse, those attributes are diminished.

Also, to be in the 80th percentile, you could probably 'hang' with any range of folks involved in the thing, and if I ever want to get back into it after a break, it'll come back.

Anyways, B- is quite satisfactory.

cbogie··on Ask HN: What was the best decision you made in your career?
after a quick review here, it seems like folks who try (for however long) something different are content with their decision, in spite of the fear they had in what they defined as comfort, or whatever they happened to be adapted to at the time.

ie the developer turn usmc pilot. another example is the police officer i met the other day who was previously a developer at ibm for TEN years.

not to be too dark, but seems like we get a limited amount of time here on earth being conscious, so spice it up!

my bias here is that i'm currently craving something different; something totally outside of my current tech gig (recruiter, hello, DMs open ;) and have to courage to jump into the unknown...if only i could figure out how the finances and budget might work.

cbogie··on Deadly Mexico earthquake had unusual cause
> “I said ‘this is it’ and even thought about jumping out the window. I got very scared."

I've never considered this as a survival option during a quake. I suppose the consideration is between getting crushed should the building collapse vs surviving a 23 story fall onto ???.
