“Exploiting” is the keyword here. You need to exploit the niche. A better example would be someone like 3Blue1Brown. You have to keep at it long enough and keep improving. Go check Grant’s first video and the latest video, the difference is

As much as extrapolating what characteristics should a job of the future satisfy, based on your past experiences/knowledge, is a reasonable idea. It is also reasonable to assume that certain future jobs won’t look like the past jobs, o

I am just guessing here. Have you acted upon your ambitions yet, or do you get overwhelmed and depressed everytime the ambition shoots up (could be due of other startups, HN, friends, YouTube, anything)? My guess is that most people when th

Never said it was named after antariksha. Merely pointed out the possibility of a connection. Are we considering word formation and origin retracing a settled matter? Also just realised that I am replying to a sock puppet account. Thanks an

Not sure if it would be wise to dismiss the possibility so easily. We clearly do not know all the causal elements involved, plus I wouldn't be surprised if the name of the island itself had something to do with "antariksha".

What do you mean by we know the source? At best, you can track the functional(mri) and structural(pet) aspects your brain if you take the neuroscience route, and the behavioural(cbt) aspect when you take the route of psychology. It seems to

I think this is an issue of interpretation.OP does say that mindfulness/exercise/stoicism are helpful and also talks about the sleep-stress deadlock. I think what they are saying is that although these activities help, you need yo

All technology is political. All politics is not political. Politics is a social technology.

Sleep well, Eliminate stress from life, get a decent job that allows you to explore things you want to do on side, spend time with family and lead a happy life. Note that this is a very ambitious route to follow, most people never understan

I wouldn't say everything, but I have encountered such people too. Extremely knowledgeable and always curious. It feels as if these guys somehow have more energy to expend than most of us. On the contra, I get burnt-out pretty quickly

If it just about learning chip design then there are two ways you can go about it: 1. Get a job in a VLSI/EDA company(Qualcomm, Synopsys, Cadence, Intel etc) as a software engineer and slowly switch teams and learn. 2. Get a basic unde

Silicon Ronin is at it again. This time to revolutionize the startup world and shake up the hold of big players.

Every thing about life is so fascinating. I have always wondered how viruses have persisted for so long if they need a host to survive and it took us millions of years to go from single celled to multicellular. I wish there was a way to kno

If there is a normal order in societies, it must be the fruit of an anterior crisis. Things have to get ugly before they get better. Here’s to the greater good.

Never thought I would ever see this during my lifetime. Really well done. Has the quirky feel of Comic Sans, but with the flavor of fixed space mono fonts.

Ah! That makes sense. I realise that talking about complex concepts in terms of analogy can be misleading, but is it like the fabric is elastic and long enough and is only getting stretched? Is there a way to reconcile this with the (3 dime

Forgive my ignorance here. What do we mean when we say the universe is expanding, expanding into what. My untrained brain is trying to look at it like the inflation of a balloon that takes up more space when it is inflated, but if the unive

Tbh, It might just be me, but I am starting to feel that the vanity of Material Design is also starting to fade away. People are moving towards other options. In fact, with so many people in the design space doing great work I think users a

I think the original comment was directed at the seemingly pretentious nature of the essay. How do you quantify earnestness? Being sincere? I get the “we like demo over slides”, “2 founder over 1 founder” kinda thing, but talking about virt

Love the idea here. Would love to see how perishable items like current affairs do when posted anachronistically.

Definitely, may be not directly, but it lies at the heart of software engineering(or more appropriately computer science). It helps with thinking differently, for example I don’t know if ndergrad courses teach distributed search algorithms

Although the degree of difficulty w.r.t a question may differ, I think being proficient in these concepts can get you a job. It’s just that most of us struggle with solving problems(in an interview). I think these concepts cover pretty much

I would wager around a year at max. Most materials related to Distributed Systems are information heavy(requiring you to read and remember) as opposed to being math heavy(with the possible exception of graph theory, which usually none of th

What’s up with the gate keeping dude? Philip is an experimental musician, avant-garde has an experimental aspect to it, so people like calling him that. Why fuss over a word? And fwiw, things change, language is emergent, words acquire and

This culture eludes me. You don’t have to practice made up questions of varying difficulty for 5 months before looking for a job, there are great companies out there that are not Facebook or Google, and that will give you job satisfaction a

Stories of your life and others by Ted Chiang. It’s meh. Don’t mean it as a dig at the author, but I think the sci-fi stories lose their value over time, maybe I was just too late to the party.

I think Marvel and Disney would be very disappointed if this trend continues across the board. At least if we go by Marvel’s last decade results.

Okay, that was a roller-coaster, from judging them based on their clientele to laughing out loud after reading about their past products. Bad Unicorn Indeed.

I don’t about these new build tools, but I’ve usually found ninja to be faster than make in most situations at least. Also curious to know, is there no work done in the realm of developer productivity inside the FPGA world?
