They should have made the bit about Boeing instead.

No one says you have to subscribe to ALL of the streaming platforms at once.

If cost is an issue, pick 1 or 2 services, watch the shows you’re interested in, then cancel those and pick 1 or 2. Rince and repeat.

You have choice with this approach and you don’t need every service offered.

Lord no I am not putting my financial information on that cesspool of a platform.

Teams is the result of Microsoft taking a look at Slack and saying, how can we make this feel more like Excel?

Ok, if you get into Harvard, go to Harvard. Your opportunities in the long run should outweigh any sort of student loans you have to pay back. If you're going to NoName Private College that's 90% of the cost of Harvard, go to state school instead.

And apply to scholarships. Lots and lots of scholarships.

JavaScript is a dynamically-typed language. Parallelizing the type checking with bundling gives you the best of both worlds: the speed when writing in a dynamic language and the type safety that comes with a static-typed language. For me, I like to write my code and not too concern myself with types until I’m close to committing; that’s when I fix type errors.

That “sink or float” metaphor was clumsily written and reminded me of someone wanting to convey something important, but didn’t know how or what to say. I’ve only watched one episode, but that episode was not good.

In contrast House of the Dragon is better written, equally gorgeous, and is far more interesting. At least it is 3 episodes in compared to the 1 RoP I’ve seen.

“This Naked Mind” by Annie Grace takes a similar approach with alcohol.

Yes, LaMDA is not sentient. But this begs the question: as these models become more sophisticated, and we did end up creating a sentient AI, how would we know?

As someone who lives in the US Northeast with its biting winters, San Diego and Los Angeles's yearlong climate seems like a dream.

Actions speak louder than words. If she were truly sorry, she would’ve reverted the PR and have it go through the normal process. Instead she wrote a really long message about how the .NET Foundation owns your project.

As someone who has a liberal arts background, software engineering has a lot more in common with writing than most admit. Sure there is grammar and syntax but good writing can be as varied from William Shakespeare to Stephen King. Same with software writing.

I live in the NYC area and I can tell you no one cares about jaywalking.

I was an early employee (#20-something) of a startup that was acquired. The founder received 1 billion, the 2 other founders received 100 million each.

I got about 80 grand that took 4 years to vest.

You have to be grateful for the opportunities and experiences you’ve acquired and be honest with yourself—-I didn’t take the risks they did and since I was pretty junior at the time, wasn’t as influential as others.
