If automated tests/linters are a part of your build system, then they basically are breaking at compile time. (Having to write tests to mimic functionality of a compiler seems wasteful to me though)

Makes the foreground pop out at you just a little bit more. It's a cool feature, might as well showcase it.

I'm very social in person, it's just the "cold email" part of it that is off putting for me. There's no observable social norm around this from my perspective. You can be a wallfly at an event and pick up norms, but

Thanks for the response! Kneejerkingly that feels weird, but that's surely because I've never been apart of cold emails/messages like that. I guess I just have to make that part of my new normal.

How do you build rapport with people outside of your job responsibilities? Randomly sending out "Hey, how's it going?" messages to everyone? Watercooler/lunch/coffee break social interactions are all but dead when w

All of the pivotal points in my career came from serendipitous moments that happened with coworkers outside of my core team at the office/at lunch/at holiday parties. That kind of natural cross pollination is near dead when workin

They sometimes go deep, but that is more at the discretion of the interviewee than Lex. Lex is usually asking questions about topics he has only tangencial knowledge in but is the expertise of the interviewee. The Chris Lattner episodes are

I greatly prefer dark mode for my normal monitors. I greatly prefer light mode for the eink monitor. My multi-monitor setup went exactly as well as you might imagine. Also the eink monitor I bought for $1k is quite small by today's sta

(Despite the comment clearly being flamewar bait...) Most of the other comments are correctly suggesting to just not exit emacs. Something opening slowly once at the beginning of a long workflow is hardly an issue. If you must open somethin

I bought an eink monitor. Overall great except I had to switch to light mode for everything since ghosting was an issue. It had a high enough refresh rate to be workable. (there were warnings though that using the higher refresh rate settin

I used copilot to learn the crufty parts of bash and to pick up swift from zero. The smaller the problem you're trying to solve the easier it is for copilot to generate it perfectly for you. Think of it like a snippet engine on steroid

Google photos' style AI driven curation maybe? I like the idea of having a queryable filesystem, but I wouldn't want that as a complete replacement of the directory structure.

And for those of us who don't want to live exclusively in their walled garden, it's an ecosystem rife with friction and sludge.

It's a method for living a simpler happy life, not for optimizing productivity. Besides, your subconscious will constantly be working and making connections even if your conscious mind is 無(blank).

Many understand the concepts perfectly well, but will still not always remember the arbitrary difference in naming. If memorization of arbitrary words is so effortless with repeated context then no one would mix up common words like effect

This means people will mostly give their money to the loudest charities that spend the most on marketing, not on their actual effectiveness. Boring yet important projects will get almost nothing with this model. Don't make the economis

This is so painfully bullshit. Imagine the scientists and engineers at bell labs thinking that the operators of their machines are akin to drug addicts.

Trying to abolishing imperfect parts of society with no tested replacement solution is a dangerous game. Some people are or became irredeemably antisocial and need to be kept away from society at large. Watch any liveleak video around the m

I can only imagine how deeply connected your spiritual upbringing would be to the trip experience. So many shamanistic traditions have guides that are there to teach you the lore to prime you so you understand/have the right experience

Macros and replaying my last command at a new location are the biggest thing I miss from vim. With regex replace groups you can generally get close enough to the desired productivity though. (Personally, I find vim's multiselect cumber

The video also starts with, and continues throughout with, explaining to people why their current writing style is bad, and why a new style is better. It happens to be a convincing explanation.

Your claim that explaining is mostly useless is a bafflingly terrible take. The video you linked is a well known video of someone explaining how to write well.
