Both.

I can bet there are a lot of people still working in crypto because of sunk cost fallacy.

Designing Data-Intensive Applications is the best starting point.

One of the many reason's I like Apostol's Calculus book is that it starts with integration first and then diffrentiation which is how the field developed historically.

You can not have any arbitrary surname because each surname belong to a caste. So if you take a higher caste surname then you will have to pretend like you belong to higher caste.

Also there are other factors which can tell which caste you actually belong to.

Your birthplace. Your parent's birthplace. Which part of the city you were born in. The accent you speak your mother tongue in.

These are benign questions that your indian colleague might ask or notice.

I dont think the current form in which casteism is practiced in India is related to profession.

Right now in India, lower caste people are mostly free to pursue any profession (unless you go to rural areas).

Discrimination comes from the fact that higer caste people simply despise/hate/consider lower caste people impure or inferior.

Casteism is much more worse.

You or your children or your grandchildren atleast have a chance on moving up in class in a capitalistic society like West.

In Casteist society you neither your descendants can ever leave your caste and will always face discrimination does not matter how much money you have.

Is there any word when programmers engage in some other activity and then realize and rationalize that the said activity has a lot common with programming.

Yes, it is a common type of endgame.

Funny, english people crying about being colonies.

Does having supporting parents undermine any success a self made person might have ?

If we follow that route a lot of internet would need to be banned.

> I've learned that most people actually dislike the idea of eating sentient beings

Sentient being is a very flimsy and arbitrary definition.

To me veganism is just another attempt to be on a high horse of morality and look down upon those who dont follow your values as evil, basically a kind christianity.

Please go through this excellent post by Y Combinator -

It should be equal split.

An idea's worth is zero, it is the execution that matters.

Other way to look at it is if they are offering you 15% and keep 85% for them, without an mvp or revenue how are they justifying having 5.6 times more equity than you.

The only possible justification is the few thousand dollars that they have put in, you can either match that or maybe take slightly less equity to offset that amount based on the expected valuation.

But please do not settle for less than equal split, because you will be putting the same amount of effort in the execution of the idea.

This conflict is not about restoring USSR, It is about Ukraine joining NATO. No Russian leader is going to allow Ukraine to join NATO, because it is a serious danger to their own country.

> Allowing Russia to do whatever the hell it likes because we're too afraid of MAD will be what kills the West. He'll push against a NATO member soon enough. If we can't stand up for them, he won't stop.

This is fear mongering, why the hell do you want a nuclear war so bad. I hope NATO officials keep sanity and do not start a war with russia.

> there is no way forward here that doesn't risk everything.

Yes there is, NATO can provide arms to ukrainian people and they need to fight for their freedom.

The amplification of this regional conflict by social media into a global conflict will backfire and can start a nuclear world war.

Your suggestion is extremely laughable and naive and reeks of elitism.

The domains where the quality of code has very high stakes do have very strict processes and have an extremely high bar.

The domains where the stakes are not high, for ex - implementing an API to download user reports, have a very low bar.

And your point about cancelling the license to code if you implement a bad API, that's like cancelling a journalist because they made a typo in their article and it went out.

> Even if you in enjoy your job, the reality is work is one of the biggest parts of our lives and wrapped up in our sense of self worth and identity.

This is true for all living beings, all animals spend a large part of their day in collecting/scavenging/hunting food, prepaing shelter etc.

If a headline asks a question, the answer is no.

> State intertwines "value" and "time", so that to reason about the value of a piece of state you have to reason about time (like the interleaving of operations that could mutate the state)

Chapter 3 of SICP deals with this topic in great detail.

Taleb also discussed this in his work.

Any payoff from a trade which has even a very tiny probablity of making you go bust is zero.

Because once you go bust you are not going to be doing trading anymore.

He calls these Uncle Points.

Muslims do not need to read article like these to get violent or support ISIS they can read they holy book for all the inspirations for doing violence.

Indian economy went into Service sector after agriculture.

As if LWM is totally unbiased and cover stories even if they do not fit their narrative.

> It's not "really" part of FANG in my head

What do you thought the "N" stood for or you thought it was a placeholder so that acronym is not offensive.

But this is the 21st century, everyone is perfect the way they are, no need to improve.
