Modula-2 had a huge influence on my early understanding of Software Engineering and Computer Science. I feel it is one of his under-valued contributions. RIP Niklaus. One of the great ones.

As a manager I'm going to throw in some more "fuzzy" ideas -- shared purpose and team identity. Also recognition of milestones and accomplishments

As a manager I can tell you having a team member leave is not a “get out jail free card.” First you will have to explain why X person is leaving, and it will generally be considered your fault. Second if your team isn’t resistant enough to

I'm almost 50. Parties change. The last party I had in November was a few couples drinking wine, eating charcuterie, and listening to Jazz records. Not a bad way to spend a night in my opinion. I still like like to be social, so I took

I'm running a 30" woofer in a ~2120L sealed enclosure. Changed the way I hear music.

Tech interviews were definitely around prior to Google. I went through multiple tech interviews in the 90s

Nice. I repair and restore vintage tube amps as hobby. Good distraction from software and modern tech

I fiddle around with tube amps and Ohms law is about the only math I use in that hobby. It is kind of beautiful in its simplicity

My earliest piece is an early Marantz 7 from 1958. I don't get into mono era or cinema gear too much. I'd definitely be into Tannoys if I could find a pair of reds for a reasonable price. The only truly vintage speakers I have are

As a HiFi collector and restorer, I don't have a lot of interest in 70s gear. The US Made 50-60s tube stereo gear by Marantz, McIntosh, Fisher, and Dynaco is my jam.

That seems pedantic. Just because technology has lowered the requirements for becoming an astronaut, that doesn't change the definition.

I took my original programming classes on the VAX. I'm somewhat nostalgic for it. In many ways it was ahead of its time

I don't know if "technology" is limited to digital tech, but I am having a lot of fun working on vintage analog gear, specifically tube amps. It helps me think about totally different types of engineering problems than my day

I learned to program in BASIC on T.I. 99/4A. The computers themselves were not expensive, but the peripherals were. It seems insane now, but we used them by hooking them to a TV. Even back then it was a niche compared to the Commodore

I enjoy beer, but have to admit I’m burning out on the hopped up IPAs. Lagunitas produces a bunch of different beers, but they are all just variations of the same theme (ok I like their Pils)

All because of online shopping? It is difficult to believe some of these aren't the result of changing demographics and/or economic forces beyond online shopping

I’d say hire that person as the COO. This will be a big organization. I think the person at the top needs to have a strong ideals about the direction of the organization

This gives me hope for the US health care system. Gawande’s ‘Being Mortal’ really helped me understand what was happening when my dad was dying. Highly recommend it

I've found in many areas (I've moved around a lot) few Drs and therapists are accepting new patients. I wish I could find a psychiatrist who also does psychotherapy. Psychiatrists are focused on drug maintenance. Finding a good th

I definitely think you need to apply to different companies. Almost everywhere I’ve worked a Math degree was considered an asset not a liability.

As someone who spends quite a bit of time just south of the cape in Cocoa Beach (I own a condo there), I'm not sure I would call the area a "cultural backwater", but it might be culture shock if you are coming from an urban a

Interesting idea. I read your blog post on the project, and understand your point on user management. I've hit the same stumbling block with projects I've been working on -- too much time spent on user management. There seems to b

What I found interesting about this talk is that Ng is very explicit about the fact that companies like Baidu launched products simply to collect data with the intention of monetizing the data (through AI). I know this is obviously the case
