Hopefully without the latency, it's slow to respond on a 2022 M2 Macbook Air (tried Firefox and Safari)
The 'Status' in the product name has two meanings, with the second being the standing conveyed by being able to shell out $189 for a pomodoro timer.
I wrote some PowerQuery functions and VBA macros to facilitate client invoicing that cut down ~2 hours of work to ~10 minutes (and shrinking, as I toy around with the scripts to delegate more of the work to the machine…
I am assuming that GP was not specific about Chinese investors' money due to national security concerns or sinophobia. More pressing, especially to anyone hoping to live anywhere near Vancouver, is the fact that Chinese…
Why make it about race? It's about her being wealthy and connected; rich, well-connected minorities get away with things all the time
> At least the well-off folks won't have their lives ruined if they fail to get tenure So the downtrodden shouldn't ever attempt anything. Also why is this a binary between tenure and financial ruin?
What indicates that Google is "too scared" as opposed to merely lagging behind?
Does VSCode have anything like Emacs' zones mentioned in the article?
While loyalty to the craft can have the side effect of generating more value to an employer, I don't think the two notions are antagonists. Get better at your craft and you'll have more opportunity to operate as a…
From the GitHub repo: * A community fork of a language named after a plant fungus. All of the memory-safe features you love, now with 100% less bureaucracy! * I assumed with the 'oxide' and 'ferrous' references that…
Why should someone's respect for (presumably) achievements as a technologist or entrepreneur extend to opinions about events like these (or really any event outside of business/technology?)
Bio says "middle-aged software developer," so likely just hoping it's far enough that they'll be retired when it doesn't matter to them

You're right, we should just let inequality fester and wealth disparity grow. I'm glad that early doctors and engineers working on difficult problems didn't just shrug their shoulders while saying "what can you do?"
Money. Where else are likely to make hundreds of thousands of dollars with a PhD in comparative literature?
Per Wikipedia, he's the President of YC, he's essentially a politician (without the ostensible duty to the public)
They're asking to "be made whole," but are "not asking for a bailout." What exactly do they want, then?

Even if English is the lingua franca of the world, people master it to varying degrees. Also, it seems like 'quitted' was the more common form up until the ~late 1930s [1], so it's not entirely unreasonable to assume…
As far as I understand, universities' reasoning for differential tuition varies from demand for a particular major, projected earning potential, and the cost of providing the major itself (for example, a civil…
I'd like to add my experience. I did a year of English in university, then switched to a software engineering major after internalizing all the "an English degree is useless" rhetoric. While I am glad I didn't spend the…
While I do agree that a mid/low-level employee is very unlikely to be the cause (why risk a reasonably high salary at Uber and possibly being blackballed from the industry if detected?), I think Hanlon's Razor [1] could…
What of his endeavor has been miserable? He's still a billionaire who exercises his power as he wishes
It's an approach to reasoning and thinking used in philosophy and science [1]. It could be applied to any concept. The author's articles and those by Bartosz Ciechanowski [2] are good examples of first-principles…
