Great read. Not sure it was worth being stuck cross-eyed for the evening, though.

Good. If I have to go back into the office it may as well be with a fat pay raise and a new mission, the likes of which are more likely with a new company.

Top comment in a similar recent thread [0] sums it up nicely: > The context in which this happened matters a lot. > There have been tensions between the FIDE organization and top players like Carlsen since the latter have been promoti

> "Today I make generative art..." Is generative art just AI, or is there something else out there that was called that before the emergence of AI? Genuinely curious.

Although I understand your point, and certainly have some friends that would feel like they're hacking the gibson connecting to an irc server, is Discord et. al really that much different?

I certainly am trending that way as I grow older. As I've recently started to re-dive into Christian theology, the fine-tuning argument seems more and more interesting, and it's pretty difficult to find "good" secular ar

I honestly still don't even understand what Salesforce is. I have never worked in eCommerce, yet still keep running into areas of the orgs I've worked for that use it's plugin ecosystem to try and accomplish... things- things

My experience with Salesforce outside of sales orgs are it is used as an overly complex, bug-ridden phpMyAdmin

If a lifetime of ball golf has taught me anything, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to athletic movements such as this. Even if there was, it would take one many years to find it articulated in a way that made sense to them. I've

Yeah, that's called a fucking integration test.

Since we're here - what are people using these days to prop a quick web property up for a friend, for example, that's not such a PITA? I recently told a friend I'd throw up a site for him for his dog grooming business, and na

Certainly not siding with Big G here, but the onus is on the school. They should be able to be held accountable.

Right on time for me - as I'm looking to identify a certain plug (it appears to be a micro JST) Is there anything currently similar to McMaster-Carr[0] for electronics? They seem to do the best in terms of a technical parts catalog. [0

Similar situation. The book does delineate between certain activities and how they're reinforced/guided- so I'm not sure your example is a counter-example. It actually fits the narrative of the book quite well. For example, i

Going deeper it can mean anything from having a person you want to impress, a parent that you just can't ever seem to make proud, or seeing someone succeed their way out of your impoverished upbringing.

Having someone around you who either intentionally or unintentionally creates an environment that makes you want to, and therefor enjoy putting in the effort, is crucial. I am just finishing up The Talent Code by Daniel Coyle [0] and it has

After doing basic napkin math I've always thought it was pretty obvious. Buy-in + annual maintenance fees that are pretty close to what a condo rental outside of a contract would be. Then you add in the other factors such that you&#x27

Well, ya know - it could be. Not needed until they are... risk management. Most should hope that their weapons are never "needed."

Index funds seem to be the consensus in books like that, which would include tech stocks I'd imagine.

They all say the same stuff essentially: avoid fast money hype & invest in slow, steady, low-risk vehicles.

Exactly where I'm at. It took a recent offer for ~30% more and all of the same benefits after a multi-stage interview to really slap me in the face with an appreciation of all of the other things aside from salary that I am happy about

Why wouldn't it be a viable reason? Every customer that AWS and Google have has the potential to make that decision and I believe it gets more appetizing with every data breach / funnel failure / etc.

Is there any indication at all that this is due to businesses bringing their hardware back on-prem? Do you think "history repeats itself" will hold true in the on-prem v. cloud realm?

by scrapcode 2y ago
Well, how did it work out?

by scrapcode 2y ago
Same here. It's simple math for me, really - even if your pitch is compelling and well-targeted to me somehow, it is highly unlikely that your offer and commission overhead are going to be better than something I can seek out myself.

Turns out I've never in my life had a successful cold caller reach out to me, I guess. I can't think of a single reason in 2024 that a random telephone call would get me to part ways with my money. In fact, I've had very few
