Not a humane way to treat your customers…

I use his podcast to fall asleep. It has never failed me.

Supercool.

It won't be the first time our understanding is flipped upside down if such a framework of thought arises.

One of the best textbooks I’ve ever read

Don’t underestimate Apple fanboys.

What's interesting about Tesla is that his visualization powess. He was gifted with insane capabilities of visualization. He said he would build assemble his inventions in his head, go to the lab to build it. And it would work on the first attempt.

That's similar to coming up with all the code in your head and passing the compiler and tests on the first try without any errors.

Crazy.

Thanks for letting us know. I won't even bother clicking on the link.

I understand your concern for clickbait but it has to sound exciting enough for users to try.

The other tag line with breaking a sweat would be much better.

Maybe you should think about it from the listener's POV? For me a podcast has to be interesting or useful. If a title can meet that I will click.

Maybe it's a marketing problem? I had a tab of your podcast open, but never listened to it.

The writing needs work. There is too much. You need to cut down and try to distill the good stuff essence for each episode to make users want to click.

For example,

"QAWolf Helps You Create Automated Browser Tests as You Use Your Site"

-> Automated Testing for your website

The verbiage adds up.

Yes. Please add donation button.

Google customer service is atrocious. Their ability to solve customer support issues is effectively a toss up.

Please do better Google.

Make it three hours a day. Grooming, picking pants, packing computer, etc, those all take time. If you're working 8 hours, you're spending 3/8 = 37.5% of the time not building value.

Which is insane in retrospect.

People who have not grown up poor can't really understand it. It's not only about the money. It's about the constant stress and fear whether or not you're going to make it.

Just work hard in school to get out is actually pretty hard. Learning is like swimming through molasses because of the constant stress. It gives you a lifetime of trauma and damage.

Mighty was great. If they had a Windows/Linux port it would be killer as it would have allowed you to run all kind of apps without carrying a $1.5k computer around. That was the dream.

I'd also expect their pricing to go down given economies of scale.

I lowkey wanted them to be super ambitious and one day roll out their own chips and become a full stack computer company.

Yea I miss youth. I'm in my 30s and all nighters are not the same anymore :(. When I was young I'd do 2-3 in a week and with a four hour nap I would recover.

Now after those I lay down and I can't get up for a couple hours with all this aching in my limbs lol.

This is beyond my pay grade for now. I need to go take a cryptography course.

This is a very subtle but great point to start off.

"How can I sell my software?"

Vs.

"How can I help these folks out?"

I hear so many complaints about immigration. People who should have built great technology in the U.S. left because the system sucked.

What are some things someone like me, an engineer, can do to encourage the government to change the immigration process?

My ideal state of the internet is companies sell powerful all in one servers. Each household will have that server for their daily needs - email, messaging, social network, gaming, etc.

Make Arpanet Great Again!

Imagine if we got an HBO adaptation of TAOCP.

What a bottom tier article. Writing is all over the place.

Aristotle influenced the computer is like saying there is oxygen in the air.

After the pandemic it has shifted. I read that 40% of couples meet through dating apps. Wild.

I believe it as that's how most of my friends met their partners.

Not your server not your photos?

Part of why the web is shit is low barrier to entry. More often than not, if you read classics or older books, it's information dense. Every prose and sentence constructed had some economy baked in.

Now everyone and their mom, as well as bots and marketers,can spam right on over.

We either need a search portal with aligned incentives, or perhaps a new internet with none of this crap.

Facebook is adbook.

:).

Someone once wrote this. If someone gives you Excalibur, you don't fucking ask where it came from, who made it, etc. Just go use it and have fun.

I'm fairly good at finding bugs and understanding code. Then recently I've had to mentor a few junior engineers and it seemed they struggled a lot.

It's a mix of search space reduction + heuristics. You start looking for most probable areas of fault. This includes new commits. Then you try to partition the places where the bug could be by probablistic reasoning, logging as you go.

If these approaches don't work then you start questioning your assumptions. For example, if there is eatApple() method, what did you assume about this method?

Did you assume all apples are rex, or is the functionality actually eatFruit()?

Actually kind of agree. Need to go through revision. Sentences feel unnecessarily long and drawn out.
