Stories like this make me glad my company has yet to accept VC money. We're a five-person legal tech startup and the work environment is far and away the best I've ever experienced. Granted, I've only been a developer…
I tend to open multiple windows instead. Though, to be fair, I usually do that on a per project basis. I try to close tabs once I realize I'm not going to be using them in the near future. Basically the exact opposite…
I wonder what it would take to get us to the point where we can oxygenate sufficiently without needing to use our lungs at all. Tons of applications there.
I think this is only partially true. There are aspects of coding which can be abstracted away, either because they're essentially boilerplate or because a simpler description of the solution is sufficient. Ideally if a…

Funny point, but I assume they mean ten years for a problem they throw whole, enormous teams at.
Fascinating. I'll do some research; appreciate the input.
Huh, fascinating. Re: the salmon roe, do you take a supplement which contains the lysophosphatidylcholine, or do you just down the eggs? Ice baths: that's for mental acuity, or overall physical health? I know it's used…
I actually decided to try vaping nicotine to test whether it indeed was a cognition enhancer, and here I am months later addicted like it's nobody's business. Turns out trying this with an addictive personality isn't…
Only tangentially related, but: has anyone found a drug/supplement/etc which aids them in memory retention, cognition, alertness etc? The only thing I've found effective is modafinil for alertness and some general…
I'm pushing back on describing them as 'mental self-gratification', as that seems like it implies a lack of value in them, potential if not immediate.

Aaand now I can't un-hear it. Thanks a lot.
Gonna disagree there: green circuits (and their descendents) are needed often enough and in high enough volumes that it absolutely makes sense to bus them. I've got four full lanes being almost completely consumed, much…

This was my experience as well. When I started as a developer, my team was fully remote (I was the only developer in NYC, most of the rest were in Portugal or elsewhere in the US.) I found it very difficult to ask…
No clue how important they are in the ecosystem, but from the perspective of insects which piss me off, I'm on board 100%.
I've heard that mosquitoes are believed to be completely replaceable in the food chain of the various species which prey upon them. Considering how mosquitoes are a vector for _numerous_ diseases, malaria being the most…
Oh hey, just saw your response =) Not something I'm likely to be looking at in the nearish future, but the next time I need to do some refactoring/rolling out a new Stripe feature, I'll definitely drop you a line with…

That's really cool. I wonder what would have happened if you'd called that number.
I know AE offers different types of soles, including some very weather resistant ones. You probably know this, but just in case; and you might have more options for different soles if you buy online. That said, I've…

I think it's important to learn and understand, absolutely. But a default installation/configuration which both works correctly and is easy to set up is pretty damn valuable.
