As an old user of thinkpads for years, on a Macbook the trackpad is as much under your thumb as the trackpoint is under your index finger and I find the trackpad far more accurate and less strain to use. In fact, my work-at-home setup is macbook pro, open face so i can use the keyboard+trackpad but external monitor so my posture isn't terrible.
I subscribed 2 years ago and it took over 2 weeks to actually get my first paper at my door. I live in NYC..
Cancellation wasn't difficult though, and didn't require me to call anyone.
I loved this. And love when someone chats me up at the gym more than just "you using this?". See you around the gym, my guy.
I'm not applying at all! Happy employed and not looking. They're mailing me through linkedIn (i have a profile, and it's not set to looking and i'm completely inactive there), and or finding my email on the internet somehow and going direct.
Anyone else's inbox slammed with recruiters, more than it ever has been in the past? Feels like there's 10x the jobs available, but perhaps it's just that LLMs have automated a recruiter's job and they're letting the slop fly
This advice was also given to me if I ever get caught in the rain while camping and soak my shoes. Bring some newspaper for both a firestarter and for leaving in your shoes overnight, and wake up to dry shoes!
This has been my experience too. I feel freed up from the "manual labor" slice of software development and can focus on more interesting design problems and product alignment, which feels like a bit of a drug right now that i'm actually working harder and more hours.
Yes, if anything I think harder because I know it's on the frontier of whatever I'm building (so i'm more motivated and there's much more ROI)
Exactly my experience and how I leverage Claude where some of my coworkers remain unconvinced.
Same. I've resurrected side projects and done months of work on them overnight, getting to my true end goals. Creating software is fun. Wrangling a bunch of opinionated libraries and plumbing together systems with terrible ergonomics (i.e. webpack, maybe web development generally?) is bs work I'm glad to not have to do.
Why would I want to spend 1-2h researching humidifiers if I can spend that time in any other way, and still end up with a humidifier that fits my needs first try?
This kind of task is perfect for AI in a way that doesn't take away too much from the human experience. I'll keep my art, but shopping can die off.
Each Sonnet agent costs about $10.50/hour to run overnight.
When expressed like that, I can't help but see it as a wage figure.
A cool solution using only cardboard and hot glue. Love this person's channel.
e-bikes above a certain power level
This is already true in NYC. It just another law that there aren't enough resources to be enforced IMO
Genuinely curious and debating the costs of other SOC2 platforms. But your tool doesn't load anything when I go to controls.

Not a good way to debut
North Americans (my exp only) value cheap goods and services so highly, they don't care how the sausage is made.
Yea placebo is probably the wrong word here. And I agree with you. Often just recognizing something removes it's power. I'm glad the commenter experienced the change they did. Just makes me wonder in this case, the root of it seems like self acceptance - a major theme in (at least my own) therapy. Perhaps a label is a powerful shortcut.
I was going to reply to the same post with similar. If just having a label to apply alleviates the negative emotion, isn't it a placebo?
I think a far far greater number of people experience the exact same problems of focus and distress, and learn to cope effectively in their own deeply personal way. I identify strongly with all the symptoms stated. A label feels useless, or worse - constraining, as it becomes your identity. I still have to drag my ass out of bed, do enough good work everyday next to colleagues who figuratively lap me every day, make a to-do list to remember to buy soap, go without soap for a week, .. etc lol.
I call it being me.
Purely selfish pursuits lose their allure when you have the ability to just do them (once the initial rush of being able to do them runs out). At least they did for me.
Unique experience. I've had mostly useless managers in my 15y career, downright toxic ones in my 3y AWS stint.
It smells like corporate communication training. "Affirm the customer. Express that you hear their concerns and empathize"
It's gorgeous. Impressive execution - looks like a polished product from Apple.
It was probably the difference between me trying it at all and sending to a few friends. Thank her.
Thanks for doing this. I bought the calendar over 10y ago and used it but threw it out in a move.
Right, he's just moved from taking people's money to stealing their attention. Grifter til the end.
I too was intrigued to find him but it took 10mins of watching a few videos to be left feeling duped.
Felt like he's working out his problems on YouTube rather than therapy (after first trying to in a trading career). I really dislike his (and most progressive's) narrative that others are distinctly out to get you. It shrouds the real complex machinery, and papers it over with intent. Which impedes meaningful progress i think.
This should be a top level comment.
To Bezos, a market controlled by a single large capital allocator is a free market. Unless the allocator is government of course (unless there's subsidies to apply for!).
Speaking broadly about not only Jane street, but adjacent firms like Jump and Citadel: In my experience (working with and getting coached by a recruiter in the space), these finance companies really want you to love the space, not just the technology. I wasn't able to drink the kool-aid or fake enough die-hard passion for trading to get far in the their interview process, despite having extremely relevant technical capabilities Some are also very elitist with respect to your pedigree, so even amazing experience but no degree from a top US school can make it difficult (yes, even a decade later..)
My take is that this is good (for me). At least the body can sink.
If you don't sink evenly, your spine is aligned though not level. Whereas in a traditional mattress a poor fit to your body will feel like a hammock, or a hard floor with pressure points
I had the opposite experience.
Been on memory foam since 2011. "Upgraded" to a $3k traditional mattress in 2021. My pain became unbearable after 6 mo. Since my old mattress was disposed of, I bought a $300 memory foam mattress from Wayfair and it resolved my issues.
