Crazy, I could have sworn this story was from a passage in 3 Body Problem (book 2).

Memory is quite the mysterious thing.

Funny, I assumed it was a subtle critique of how change always elicits haters. Though now I realize it was an honest non-sequiter to complain about his pet issue?

Honestly not sure anymore.

We call them DJ's and many are quite famous.

Sad to see Healthcare and government employment growth outpace everything else. If we're all nurses or regulators who will build our country?

Bring your whole self to work, at this point, is the term you use to criticize this policy, not to describe it.

Maternity leave is a version of BYWSTW. As are PRIDE/ethnicity related activities as work. Should we jettison those?

I agree it can and is taken to far, but I'd prefer to read an article about actually navigating an office with different types of real people. For example, for example, thermostats preferences, volume preferences, "we a family/team" vs "just a job" preferences, etc.

Reminds me of a demo I played 10 years ago called swap box turbo. Designed for two players, it is a simple platformer where you and your partner swap positions and momentum every 3 seconds.

You can play it single player too and have an experience similar to this.

Is it how many workers you have when you build that building

To be clear VTI is only US stocks and VEU is everything else. It is confusing because "Vanguard Total Stock Market" contains only United States equities.

"I'm going to just go ahead and say 'based', entirely on the premise, thank you."

Is how I initially read this.

Patrick Collison is from Ireland.

I would say this would have been nice to know ~20 years ago, but umm, it came out ~20 years ago. Ah well.

Perhaps I had to learn my lessons the hard way regardless

Owning ~.00001% of a company feels illusory to me, more difficult to intuit values. So would Nvidia share owners rather own all of Nvidia instead of all of Apple? I suspect not. The marginal buyer of nvidia is either: * MEGA-FOMO * Betting on the singularity * Momentum trading

(I won’t talk about Magnet much here, because the proximate reasons for its failure are pretty simple: we ran out of money and the market fell out from under it. It might have - smart money says probably did have - other means of failure, but we didn’t last long enough to find them in any great detail.)

This has the same voice as patio11. Did he start this style? Is it new? Who else talks like this?

The Texas electric grid is 25% cheaper than New Yorks: https://www.eia.gov/electricity/monthly/epm_table_grapher.ph...

Texas produces more electricity than any other state, in fact more than 2x as much as the 2nd place state: https://www.eia.gov/state/analysis.php?sid=TX (ctr+f for 'Texas produces more electricity than any other state')

Texas is the #1 producer of renewable energy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_by_renewab...

Texas's energy position is enviable, and shows a state leveraging its natural advantages rather than coasting on them.

I get the https://www.newsminimalist.com/ daily newsletter in my RSS reader. A few important news stories each day. Where important is decided by ChatGPT.

I have a similar rule: "The first person to tell their opponent 'your ideas are offensive' forfeits the debate".

I believe my rule prevents more bad arguments.

I am happy for Las Angeles to perform a widespread trial of this kind of initiative. Attract people to Southern California that might be homeless elsewhere, help them get on their feet via $750/person/month, then they will get off the subsidy and contribute back to the community!

If it works I will encourage a similar system in my hometown. If it does not work then I'm glad we did a trial run first.

Note: I'm paywalled from reading the article, how many people did they give the money to and how long was it?

India is not homogeneous. Neither are most (all?) countries in Southeast Asia or Sub-Saharan Africa.

This is cool. Isn't finding these the same as minting a new block of bitcoin? So definitially hard using our best understanding of algorithms, math, etc.

Looks like the 2020 line is just east of Chicago and just north of the SFBA.

The line can't move West or South too quickly as every additional minute represents so many people shifting from one side of the median to the other.

+1 my best office was a 15 minute walk through a upscale shopping area, into a cramped room alongside my teammates and boss with a great view of a large pond.

All of our desks were pushed together in the middle of the room. The _room_ itself would switch from chat mode to quiet mode.

Though I think the quietest member of the team would have preferred a solitary arraignment, I can only speak for myself.

In defense of Ford, GM and Chrysler; it is also a subsidy to BMW, Toyota and Tesla.

When blue states show me a viable public transportation network for a reasonable cost I will support them in my red state.

Consider the CA high speed rail a PoC for the nation. Would you endorse copying that model? Is Chicago increasing its ridership/coverage (honest question).

I use the term Anglosphere. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglosphere).

Probably [facile](https://www.thefreedictionary.com/facile), here meaning superficial, reductive, or weak.

Edit: Actually probably what the UK ppl are saying

When you say "mid 100,000's" do you mean ~150k or ~500K?

Yes! Binary search through the alphabet. Or, better yet, Hoffman encode common German words!

How is good code review incentivized? Some ideas:

* Code review shares more credit and blame for code they approve

* Change the word "review" -> "collaborate"

* Involve the "collaborator" earlier in the process, before it's supposedly finished. If you helped write the code then the approval process will be much smoother.

* Code reviews help towards bonuses or promotions

fs is great. I just finished listening to

Episode 72: Happy Habits with Neil Pasricha

Much recommended

Ctrl + G is select multiple occurrences on Mac.

It's one of my favorites as well. It is really good when you need to quickly rename, reformat or tweak a handful of lines that isn't a viable refactor action.
