lifeplusplus··on Fireship – Learn to Code Faster
I learned C++ from a book and I learned JS from a video course. An average book > an average video course, but a good video course > a good book.

One of the best intro to inner workings of JS : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-o8hhJPK0m0&list=PLAwxTw4SYa...

lifeplusplus··on EU to Facebook: ‘Drop Dead’. Ringing down the curtain on the consent theater

lifeplusplus··on Ask HN: What Books helped you sharpen your brains?
This. Id add reading more nuanced thoughts. Sometimes it's a research, a book, a blog, Wikipedia article, ..
lifeplusplus··on Ask HN: What Books helped you sharpen your brains?
Yes that's true but not entirely. Personally doing math helped me be systematic so I can figure out and set few rules of engagement when thinking and then continue evaluating thoughts through it with ease mostly due to practice I had in math.

lifeplusplus··on Ask HN: What are the cons of experimentation driven products?
This. Incompetence is framed as natural happening and well part of the process
lifeplusplus··on Ask HN: What are the cons of experimentation driven products?
Many a/b tests are false positives and fail A/A/B test

A/b test completely miss long term effects i.e. more ads= more money and no losses in engagement, but user is getting fed up and in 6 months resentment is going to boil over then all new tests will start showing negative outcomes but cause that triggered it occurred half a year ago.. only way to counter is have users on all possible variations all the time and have enough of them. Not feasible.

Only evolutionary ideas and efforts are optimized for not revolutionary. You will just get a faster and faster horse. Low hanging fruit type of mentality. Get caught in vot of mediocrity

lifeplusplus··on U.S. workers have gotten less productive – no one is sure why
no carrot -- before people thought if they worked hard just for little longer they will escape the trap, now with housing doubling in 2 years, it's become hopeless. With no end goal, only thing left is acceptance and survival, and survival as is doesn't require me putting in 200%, or even 60%.

lifeplusplus··on Tell HN: The Law of Success
Some people let life pass them while thinking of one thing that they think is the homerun but they will do it later.. point is go for less than ideal things if going for home runs means never actually getting anywhere. Focus on what you are doing, commit and make sure to do something.

lifeplusplus··on Tell HN: I was tired of being a perfectionist so I built an app within 24 hours
Were you exhausted at some point?
lifeplusplus··on More than 60k rent-stabilized apartments are now vacant
All affordable housing I’ve come across require that you make less than 60k and pay 3k rent. There is almost No one who would do that.
lifeplusplus··on Americans are becoming less productive, and it's a risk to the economy
I was working hard because I had hope, I thought yes I'm trapped in a rat race now and housing is increasing in cost faster than my income ever could but if I keep working hard then I'll be in a prime position to catch a lucky break.... But real estate prices basically double in two years and I don't think I can get that lucky... So why kill myself, promotion doesn't matter, whether it happens this year or 10 years from now I'll be in the same place more or less. I'll try to enjoy however little and however hollow it's now. I never read fiction now I do.
lifeplusplus··on Patients can now access all their health records digitally
I really love it when I want records from Doc A to be sent to Doc B, then the Doc B offices refuses to get records and insist the patient need to do it, despite signing over all the papers, and then Doc A refuses to send them because they can only give to patient - even though patient is begging to send them. Quadruple the pain if you need records from multiple doctors. This is why now I prefer going to chain hospitals like university clinics. At least they can access records from doctors within their network. Like NYU, Mount Sinai, Presbyterian, etc.

they are definitely priced like high range, last one i got would heat up if I played a game or recorded a video, returned it. if i'm gonna pay $$$$ then might as well get something that is built like one. Btw all phones are overpriced.
lifeplusplus··on Google Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro

lifeplusplus··on Ask HN: Are you thinking of leaving SWE career?
it's faaaaaaaaaaaaar easier to do your work just by speaking and actually not be the one have to do anything, you are merely passing information along. Literally. I'm very good at remembering conversations. I too can attend 10 meetings a day, if it means I am not actually responsible for doing the actual work.
