This looks great! Can't wait to check out the code in detail.

I haven't been addicted to Minecraft / building serious redstone stuff since high school. Now I just play a few times a month with some friends when the craving randomly comes back to just build and explore. Looking at the redstone landscape now it has completely changed and it's unrecognizable to me - I wonder if that's how I'll feel as I slowly become a senior software engineer, years pass by and I look at stacks I haven't touched professionally in years and wonder in awe just how rapidly things change in tech and what new things people are creating with it.

This is why Chinese made electric cars are a bad idea in America.

But Kudos to Israel for pulling off a surgical strike the likes of which we've never seen before.

Completely disagree. I cannot think of a more successful, large scale, targeted attack in recent memory. The engineering behind this was incredible.

Then those aren't people Jimmy wants to hire for his company. There are hundreds of millions of teenagers on this planet that want to stake everything they own to make a YouTube channel and reap the rewards - ownership of their work, being their own boss, potentially lucrative amounts of money, microcelebrity if not greater levels of fame, etc. Some will do it, and some won't. Jimmy is very clearly talking to those people.

I know because I was one of them, making my first few hundred dollars ever from adsense at the age of 14 (till I was demonetized a year later and my channel got taken down for copyright, but hey, you learn). I've since grown a bit a taken that energy and it's helped guide me as I learn to make my own startup right now - it's the same adrenaline rush and pursuit of the American dream.

Did not know this! Going to be checking this out, thank you.

Like any other tool, it depends on how you use it.

If any founders are interested I'd be happy to go into more detail.

This is cool but I'd like to see some focus for civil engineers doing land development. 98% of them use autocad, and are stuck with it, but also they only really use no more than 100 different commands - it's just the scale of everything that's difficult and really matters.

Who knows how many terabytes of incredible lectures like this our government is sitting on... Makes me sad to think about, frankly.

I have a silly standup joke along these lines, about how I'd Google things crazy things like "circus lawyer" or "giraffe mitigation tactics" to throw the algorithm off every now and then.

Dude it's just a joke

If that's the case then what's the endgame of this promotion? Strange.

I'm a civil engineer and self taught developer. I've done software development at an internship, twice. I wasn't even hired to do so, I was in operations, I just found a need that I could fill with their system and taught myself SQL, VBA, stuff like that. I didn't end up going full time because I didn't want to move to the company HQ. Fast forward a little bit, I'm a couple years out of graduation. I've resigned myself to the fact if I want a software job my best bet is use my civil degree, get a civil job, and work my way up in the company, find a niche to target, fix it, and just do that all over again.

That's the same with pi if you think about it, and in my eyes is what makes it a transcendental number, so to speak. The numbers themselves could be different if you used a different base instead of base 10, but they still just represent a particularly useful value for us.
