Hm. I'm interested in hearing more about the specific scenarios where this sort of tool is useful. I skimmed through the HN comments and see that it can be used for adding diagrams to code comments. But what else? Slack, Jira, READMEs,

That's a really cool app. What JavaScript framework did you use?

I strongly disagree. Relative to other books, maybe it is on the expensive side. But relative to the value you get from it, I think it is incredibly low. One way to think about it is in terms of how much you value your time. If you value yo

Interesting. Thanks for the comment. Unfortunately, I'm having trouble understanding though. The furthest I got with math is calculus. I'd love to hear a more ELI5 description of what you said. Something that doesn't require

That makes sense to me that in these two particular situations they have leverage. But what if they don't have enough board seats and you also aren't looking to raise a subsequent round? It sounds like then they don't really

I've never understood why React components are considered to be pure. The output is not just a function of the props, it's also a function of the state (as in `useState`) and context (as in `useContext`).

This strikes me as overly cynical. A pendulum swung too far. Yes, someone who takes "we don't want to change a thing" at face value is probably overconfident. OTOH, someone who says that the old culture "ceases to exist&

This advice boils down to "be the best of the best" because you'd only go out of your way for someone if they're that good. I don't think people who haven't reached that bar are necessarily doing something &quo

I disagree. The question at hand is how we should update our beliefs in response to the evidence of Zuck making the statement. Given the priors of P(M|R) and P(M|~R), it tells us that we shouldn't really update. Different priors would

Yes, thank you! I appreciate that. I should have elaborated in my OP. https://arbital.com/p/bayes_rule/ has some great follow up info.

I think a Bayesian perspective is helpful here. 1) How likely is it that Zuck makes that statement if he feels like he is responsible? 2) How likely is it if he doesn't feel responsible? I think the answers to those questions are quite

I think you'd find the books Digital Minimalism and ADHD 2.0 useful. The former talks about how digital maximalism, for lack of a better term, leads to a lot of what you're experiencing. And the latter is written by a world renown
