My advice is as others say: Don’t underestimate a great salary (especially when a young family I am just happy now that my car had a huge bill for the repair - nahh just fine I can pay:)).
Look for a great manager and lots of learnings, even on boring topics.

I was before in a AI startup for health with AI in the company name. In fact there was no AI… just a simp’e rule base model with a few parameters on a feature not a single customer used. But hey we added AI in every marketing material and job description. So be very careful and ask the right questions. It can however help to land the next job as everyone thought I work for an interesting startup doing AI, so the bullshit goes on.

Nice! I love this. Is B2C on your roadmap? The training + onboarding challenges are very similar.
Nonetheless I'm surprised by who reads my blog. I do have a tiny following, it seems. At the very least some people reach out and are weirdly familiar with what I'm working on. It's a bit like learning that some people actually run your open source code against all expectations.

Still, no job came out of it all. Not even a career opportunity. It's just a place to put thoughts and showcase projects.
For individual developers not working in teams this is still a pretty good approach.
Interesting. The Chinese examples on the wiki page sounded completely natural to me and are in accordance with how I speak/interpret the language, but I never realized I was dropping pronouns due to their inference.

Thanks for the insight!

Gentle reminder that approval voting has been tried & discarded by a number of organizations over the decades (it's literally centuries old!) The main issue is that consistently 80+% of voters 'bullet vote', or simply select one candidate despite their options. Is it a terrible flaw or something that makes AV unusable? Of course not- but it should cool some of the more heated claims.

The IEEE, Mathematical Association of America, and the Dartmouth Alumni Association have all tried & discarded AV- as they consistently found that the vast majority of voters bullet vote https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approval_voting#Other_organiza...

Moreover, it's inferior to a simple runoff with a large number of candidates. As Dartmouth found, when you have 6-8+ candidates, even with AV the plurality winner will be a pretty small chunk of total votes cast (like less than 40 or even 30%). Pretty ironic result for a method that claims that to help find the consensus solution!

Unpopular opinion, FPTP with a runoff is superior to AV or RCV just for sheer workability & finding the consensus candidate. Even more unpopular opinion, voting systems just don't matter that much- healthy democracies have been plenty stable with FPTP (the UK has like the most extreme version possible), unhealthy democracies will be unstable no matter which voting system is used
To clarify - you're not saying that meat, cheese, and butter include palm oil, but rather just one particular naturally-occurring chemical component of palm oil which occurs naturally in many sources. Palmitic acid is just a long-chain fat molecule.

Right, the energy use goes up with the value and (separately) down over time. They’re separate variables, but it’s fair to point out that they're not independent variables (the price is more likely to vary over a longer time horizon), which is I think the point you’re making?

Why is it horrifying? That a naturally occurring long-chain fatty acid is found in multiple natural sources? The parent comment is NOT indicating that palm oil is in these things.
Every system should have proper engineering. Most systems need proper engineering. Few systems actually have proper engineering.

I've seen stuff that has core-business, real world consequences, to the tune of affecting company's quarterly results, run off an Excel spreadsheet. And I don't think this is abnormal in large business land.

So the line shouldn't be drawn at "Is this system too important to trust to low-code?"

It should be drawn at "Is this system important to us?" + "If so, are we willing and able to assign development resources at it, to do it properly?" + "If not, what do we need from a low-code interim solution to keep it safe and maintainable?"

If we can't fix it properly, then it's counterproductive to enumerate the ways the fix we can apply is less than perfect.

Of note is the monstrosities we call chickens today are a product of breeding contests in the 1940s [0] (but does that mean there is anything wrong with eating them? who's to say).

It seems a lot more people today are taking a critical look at what they eat, though often excluding broad categories based on feeling rather than hard science. At first this looks reactionary, but on closer inspection one realizes that the science involved is typically biased or just lacking. We've invested comparatively little into understanding the downsides of modern food products like vegetable oil, but the little windows we have indicate they may be causing whole hosts of human maladies from dementia to type 2 diabetes [1]. Nutrition constitutes the inputs to the complex biological system, and large changes (eg disease) can end up being the result of nonlinear processes started by changing these inputs. Another example is a lack of magnesium in the western diet, through both soil depletion and food processing, leading to large scale deficiencies [2].

What's really dizzying, though, is that this information isn't widely known, and is typically found through either self-directed study or through listening to podcasts. When the average person makes decisions regarding their nutrition, they're relying on outdated and probably harmful advice, despite intending to make "healthy" choices. Maybe we need an app to scan a barcode or read a list of ingredients and respond with the known potential for harm and confidence. All I know is I'll never look at fried chicken the same way again (unless it's fried in lard, of course).

Thank you for your input! While the SV bit probably isn't relevant to any of the topics that i might touch upon, I'll keep that in mind.

That said, in regards to freedom of speech, i feel like some of Bryan Lunduke's (just as an example) arguments wouldn't necessarily invite hostility, despite their delicateness - such as the idea of de-anonymizing the internet and what implications that could have and what it'd look like.

Of course, it might invite prolonged discussions with no clear conclusion, because there are just societally complex topics with layered tradeoffs where no one can definitively cover all of them, but in my eyes that's not necessarily bad, as long as everyone remains civil.

I know I've certainly been wrong about a lot of things, though thankfully people so far have corrected me and let me better myself.

I don't think it's true that high paid jobs tend to be interesting, but they do tend to be impactful. A lot of big tech jobs are about cleaning up infrastructure technical debt, in many cases the work is pretty boring, but between the number of engineers at these companies and the scale of their products, even very small improvements can be force multiplied. However, even though there is a lot of downstream impact, it won't be super visible to you. It's the classic "if an engineer can save 15 minutes of every Google engineer's time every day, that's worth billions to the company."

But to more broadly agree with your point, I do think if one job pays you a lot more than the other, on average that's because they value you more, and they will be a lot less likely to waste your time. If you work for 50k a year, your CEO will be happy to have you work on all sorts of stupid things because you're cheap so why not. If they pay you 500k a year, they're going to want to make sure that whatever you work on is actually important to the business because now when the accountants add up costs you are going to be more significant. Furthermore, psychologically it's hard not for a boss to value someone making 500k more than one making 50k a year.

I'm sure there are many, many exceptions where people are paid poorly and working on super interesting or important things (medical research being a common example), or paid well to work on meaningless stuff, but as a rule of thumb, I do think higher paying jobs tend to be better jobs independently of the bigger paycheck.

I'm skeptical. Long tail Shopify businesses are kept alive with hustle and spit since they don't have enduring brands. With the founder gone, most will plummet in value.
There's some amount of palmitic acid in pretty much every dietary fat. Animal sources tend to be higher than seed oils, but e.g. olive oil, that many people like to tout as the healthiest, is something like 10-20% palmitic acid.

It's also the most abundant fatty acid in you, even if you don't eat any.

There's also a skeleton inside you right now! Spooky.

It's an explanatory theory with a lot - a lot - of gaps.

It has been extended with some nice predictions like the Higgs. But basically it's a Franken-patchwork of math glued together quite awkwardly.

Because that is what it is. Literally. It was developed by thousands of grad students and their supervisors throwing math at the wall and keeping anything that matched observations. So there was a lot of random searching involved.

What's missing is a central guiding metaphor.

Relativity has one. In comparison, the Standard Model is very epicycle-ish tool for calculating Lagrangians with plenty of "Yes but" and "Except when".
I appreciated the honesty in this piece but something in the way the author places all blame on himself struck me as inappropriate (at least if I were putting myself in his shoes):

"I thought about my best moments. I thought about my worst moments. I derived the behaviors and attributes that led to each. I wrote a list of personal values"

I don't think it's right or even helpful to try to quantify and reduce a human being to a list of values and pluses or minuses. Saying that you "lost yourself" and need to find it back sounds like agreeing with the premise that you fit in this neat mold that the CEO and COO have defined for you and puts you in danger of "losing your shape" whenever those people decide so.

It sounds like a very externally-oriented appraisal of one's self.

> The Federal government released a report on tech that sounds eerily like it could have been written yesterday. It complained that the lack of investment in manufacturing and R&D for tech (specifically computers) was damaging Canada's competitiveness.

And yet, seems they haven't learned a thing.

Just looking at the aerospace sector and the CSeries saga, Trudeau immediately bowed down to Trump when tariffs were imposed, despite later being thrown out in courts. All he did was to basically threaten to not buy Boeing fighter jets and instead get f35 from Lockheed (which he was contractually obligated to anyways). No support for the industry, nothing. And that was for a flagship prestige technological project.

All he had to do was to be a little bit more assertive and make a capital injection at the right time. Bombardier was swimming in orders, it was garanteed that the project was going to make money at this point (plane was certified by the FAA by then).

I still don't understand why he reacted so submissively to Trump. Having the CSeries sold to Airbus at a huge discount was foolish: The plane already had a profitable amount of orders. Canadians paid for the R&D, Europeans are now reaping the benefits.

> Particularly, retention of students graduating with technical skills was low (brain drain), foreign interests were hiring Canadian talent thus leveraging their technical discoveries (loss of IP), and there was a large dependence on foreign companies for tech products.

It's interesting to see they were worried about brain drain back then... yet recently Canadian politicians pitched Vancouver as an ideal HQ2 location to Amazon since tech workers are worth ~50K less than in America[0]. Did they not learn anything?

And in parts of West Africa, palm oil is the principal oil used in many recipes. Before Western vegetable oils were introduced to that part of the world, palm oil was the number one oil used in cooking, followed by groundnut (peanut) oil. A place like that would be the ideal place to study the effects of palm oil.
But does Monzo (or any other bank at this point) have a sustainable business model?
Finance is getting commoditised so there’s very little money to be made from saving accounts and Monzo has been loss making since the beginning.

I'm not sure what you mean by "they don't." But you don't need guns for compliance.

If can make it so that people will lose money if they don't follow the deal, then no you don't need guns. People will comply because it's good for themselves. That's how compliance is enforced under a capitalist system and it's the main reason we live in a modern, golden age of cooperation rather than a medieval age of conflict.

No, AMP was a problem. It was a proprietary, ham-fisted subset of the open web entirely forced by Google’s insane search engine dominance. It actively discouraged the creativity, freedom, and self-determination of the web that makes it so special. The AMP boost in search ranking was just the cherry on top.

Thanks Shane! So funny you mention G2 and social proof since that's also been one of the biggest learnings I've had selling Accord so far... didn't need that while I was at Stripe (the brand was just so powerful already). When you're a younger startup ppl want that 3rd party validation from others and investing in a few case studies & G2 went a loooong way in terms of accelerating deals & building trust.

that's not ironic. that's closer to the complex reality of heterogeneous interests and perspectives. what's unnatural is the idea that 50+% of a group would naturally, in an unbiased setting, pick only 2 viable candidates out of millions, and then vote consistently for one of them.
Talk by Michael Kerrisk, author of the venerated "The Linux Programming Interface" book ... an interesting discussion on how a system call API can evolve. Getting something out of this requires only the most basic understanding of signals, fork, exec (stuff you can gather from the first few paragraphs of `man`)

Most usefully, he points out that any system call can have implications in some predictable areas, namely:

* fork
* execve
* signal delivery semantics
* threads
* kill

I'm guessing this is obvious, but as someone new to systems programming I got a lot out of this talk.
What is the max out of pocket number that you are seeing that is so financially ruinous?

My out of pocket maximum is something like $7000/year. That would be painful on $40k/year, but we're talking about someone with a $1M nest egg, so unless you hit the maximum every single year, its not impossible to cover. Spending $47k/year for a couple years instead of $40k isnt going to financially ruin someone with $1M.

> If I couldn't grow it or raise it 100 years ago, I don't want to eat it

Humans have been barbecuing meat for millennia. Possibly even before Homo Sapiens Sapiens was around. And yet, it has carcinogenic properties, specially if charred.

What's so special about 100 years ago anyway? 1000 might make a difference - but then again, life expectancy wasn't that great back then.

It's only because we are living so much that cancer is such a large problem. Also because, due to modern medicine, we can often diagnose the person before they just get sick and die from 'unknown' reasons.

Your best bet is to eat food from as many different sources as you can and not eat too much of any single specific thing (which is a modern thing btw, 100 years ago, it wouldn't be as easy to do) and let averages do the rest.
