REST has the same problem as object oriented programming. It's too skeuomorphic. Lots of web applications are wrappers around conceptually monolithic resources, so it's convenient to use a protocol that makes that…
I used to be the same way. Wake up at 5am, meditate, exercise, and shower before starting your day. Stop eating processed carbs and sugar. Get off the computer at 9pm and sleep at 10pm. Clean your room. Schedule sprints…
I used to tell myself I couldn't code or write without the perfect font. I'd spend hours looking for it, and end up not getting any work done. When I finally did get around to actually working, five minutes in and I'd…
It's really important not to skip the math. As a friend once said to me, doing deep learning without understanding the math is like gambling. It's fine to initially take a more practical, project-based approach for the…
If someone does something wrong, Alice tells them plainly, and they get offended, whose fault is it? Some people say it's Alice' fault for offending; some say it's the person's fault for doing it wrong in the first…

Am I the only one who finds the VSCode icon generally ugly as sin? This is most striking on OS X, where it sits in a tray alongside a bunch of other meticulously designed icons.
x is text editing style, y is efficiency.
If jobs of all levels of difficulty are to be compensated the same, what then counts as a job? Would I be able to get paid for sitting around thinking? It also sounds like you're basically proposing we give people free…
I like how it takes them six paragraphs to say "VR is underperforming." I really need to learn how to speedread...
I think he means the unobfuscated code is proprietary.
This started out pretty good (and on the whole was fair and measured), but then at one point included this: > Then you seem to make a giant leap from group differences between men and women on such measures as interest…
What about first time entrepreneurs who want to become unicorns, or serial entrepreneurs who don't?

People say that most of coding is thinking, but I'm not sure that's even true, and even if it were, it's still possible if you typed faster and stayed in the flow you'd also end up thinking faster. My friend used to…
I used bash/tmux/vim exclusively for development for about three years. The whole time I felt very pleased that I was minimizing bloat in my toolchain, understanding everything I used, and getting amazing speeds. Six…
If getting 30 days shaved off your sentence is such an appealing offer that an optional bargain involving sterilization is considered coercion, surely it's putting people in prison that's inhumane here?
Is it taking in raw pixels or reading from game memory? How did they gather data to train for this? (Did Valve give them an API?)
To be clear, not stating the people thing as my own belief, just stating the premises of the argument. Grr, too late to edit now. (I read your entire comment, but don't have anything meaningful to add on.)
I always enjoy reading your thoughtful comments on this topic. What do you think about the indirect rebuttal to some of your points made here — http://slatestarcodex.com/2017/08/07/contra-grant-on-exagger... — in…
My totally unrigorous theory: you don't have to be obsessive to be a reasonably successful employee, but you probably do in order to have a $1b exit. Those people then set the culture, because a bunch of the next wave…
This is the sort of convenient take on things that incites immediate curiosity. Forced to its conclusion, you're arguing that people who code for fun in their spare time don't see any substantial increase in their…
There's a real problem where people see the social context in which a document is being discussed before the document itself, and the two become inseparable in their heads. From the start the discussion was framed…
There should be one of those awesome-* Github repos with a list of lightweight, readable implementations of various protocols/technologies.
Oops, I missed your point. I still think your summary is not what people are fighting as the threshold issue, but, I agree with your last sentence.
