Only serving static assets and letting users bring their own compute is world changing.

It's based on your local library and current popularity.

I think most of the science back then was really bad, we just don't talk about it, which is exactly the parent post's point.

Yep - one of my classrooms in Ohio was in the old fallout shelter. I saw the signs with radioactive label every morning going into the building. The location is now demolished.

I use it, it's good. Thinking about tooling around the API. The tag cloud is nice.

Although I am not a mathematician, and this article isn't actually about math, I had a realization in college that the entire number space really is stored between 0 and 1. In this space, 1 is actually 0 and 0 is infinity.

It sounds the same to an american english speaker without knowing a word of Russian since we can infer context and use the same farewell structure for the deceased.

I do like lists like this that remove the illusion of choice.

Agreed - people who employ dishonest tactics during negotiation should be left alone at the table.

I have been in this situation in the past and it's always the right move to walk if they won't come to the table when you ask politely.

I see your points.

A great many L7+ engineers definitely do. Ditto for career managers who don't implement day to day but do their best to keep up.

But if you hit the 3 dots it literally says "download image", and it's full size...

I believe that people have been exactly like us for tens or hundreds of generations.

I have exactly the same experience and daily practice. I use gel pens for comfort. I keep four journals for topics. My writing is terrible, but I have to keep up with thoughts.

Unfortunately this is not really specific advice. I was recently talking to a friend who wants to be a specialist nurse. There is no road to working as a specialist nurse for FAANG sized salaries.

The buying power of the middle class in the USA has been wrecked.

If Picketty (Capital in the 21st Century) is right then we will have a level of wealth inequality close to the french revolution in 9 years.

Maybe we should be looking at institutional class labor (nurse, teacher, doctor, accountant) purchasing power as a better indicator.

Endemic is not a social condition that people "accept".

It means the virus is found at a baseline level without external inputs (wikipedia).

Ah the myth of the mediocre engineer. It’s always the other team at the other company, too. Those engineers sit in their open floor plans, designing reddit?

It's not true. I am literally reading "Refactoring" right now. It's very good.

If you consider a certain threshold of match interchangeable then it makes sense. You're going to have bad hires no matter what. Complaining about fixed-pie replacement because one is a minority is not acceptable. The hiring committee probably worked hard to vet them, but things still go wrong, particularly if the organization trashes the person's incentives.

Furthermore, a large part of most orgs is fixed-pie.

This is interesting not because of accuracy but because thinking of counter examples is really interesting. I don't study businesses much, do you know of any counter examples?

I used 1080p for 5 years with a 33 inch screen, it was very good.

For 4 years I have used a 27-29 inch screen at 2k, that's incredible. I now use a 34" wide angle screen at 2k, which I find even better, since I have a bit more width without much (or any?) extra height.

At this exact moment I am on a 34" ultrawide and it's too wide for me I have to turn my head too much.

Bottom line, you can get 27" 2k screens for very cheap now and it's a step up from the 1080p, but yeah, the 1920x1080 is fine.

Covid uses trunk based development.

Thanks, I was just thinking this month how I would like to write lisp without parens.

It's ridiculous to use age in this way.

Why did you jump to taking things offline?

In practice it isn't supposed to be like this. You should be working with your manager over 2 to 8 quarters or more to plan the promotion. The promotion will be won from a committee by your manager. The expectations should be clear.

Can you share some details? I have been trying to break into this. Much appreciated!

They don't. But we often put on a good show.

Actually, most HNWI capital growth is not taxed, ever. It is a mistake to think any meaningful percentage of the wealth is sold or transferred, except on a stepped up basis to descendants, who likewise will hold it indefinitely. This does concentrate wealth.

I love seeing these “old is new” blog posts from 16 years ago. Same game, same story, things have shifted around but not that much.
