I relate heavily to the author's dilemma. My projects span from math, to programming, to pinball repair, to amateur radio, to gardening, to mycology, to who knows what else. I personally enjoy the process of bike-shedding and endlessly exploring the solution space for a problem. That said, there is a point where you need to make hard decisions and button up projects.

As long as I don't care what project gets completed at what time, I've found a little trick to broadly move the needle. I jokingly call it "Sol's fast five" but the name is actually pretty on point.

I take a step back, look around me, and pick out the first five things I can reasonably achieve in less then a day prioritizing things where I have all the tools and materials at hand. These 5 things are never entire projects, the goal is to maximally decompose the projects until each action is as close to trivial as possible.

Once I have my list of 5 things I stop thinking about anything else and strictly work towards those 5 goals. There is a sense of relief in having reduced the scope and the tasks tend to be finished very quickly. Checking them off the list always feels good.

Once I have completed my 5 items I start a new list and pick out the next five items. This can feel like a huge reward.

I've used this system to great effect in the past few years.

Talking with (or listening to) adults is the primary way that children learn to speak - but that's far from the only thing that these children have been deprived of.

The social understanding that children develop by playing with other children is vital as well, and hanging out with other dirty little snot-faced kids is a hugely important part of developing a robust immune system.

I should have said: desktop linux / Gnome. That would have been the clearer analogy.

But I don’t think it’s as simple as “who do you want to hire.” It’s not that hard to learn a new programming language. I have a hard time believing that if a small founding team picked lisp and got to product-fit, there wouldn’t be a fundamental barrier to them scaling the team.
I would think the kids who should have started kindergarten in 2020 would be the most affected.
No such thing. The law always takes the interpretation that you are responsible for the funds in your account. Don't get me wrong, I'm no fan of Chase (they stole some $900 from me about 3 years ago and I'll never do business again with them) but there's only one direction this goes, and could likely result in felonies.
Hot Take: Low Code/No Code platforms die as LLMs get better
The better LLM‘s get at generating code the less of a need there is for low code platforms.

More and more articles come out every day about how you want be on the right side of LLM’s as they improve.

Low code and no code platforms have an appeal of no source code - but having no source code makes it very difficult to train an LLM to control it.

Extending this thought it's possible to rationalize that building with any form of proprietary thing is going to be harder and harder the better LLM's get. You want build using something that has infinite training data on the web that the largest models are already getting trained on.

Software platforms in many industries are also known as having a winner take all set up -- the whole network and ecosystem effect. LLM's extend this to software stacks for builders.

In an interview from ~2016 I believe he said the continuous damage of his vocal chords had largely been stopped (not cured, AFAIK Hashimoto's does not have a permanent cure) and he said specifically: "this is the worst it will be". I will try to find that interview, I believe it was the one with Charlie Rose.

I don’t think that’s 100% true. In an alternate universe I might be paying Reddit $5-10 a month to use a third party app like Apollo and would have been a happy camper.

In another alternate universe, the Reddit app is made so well that third party apps can’t compete. Consumer sentiment is high and everyone in the community strongly recommends their premium subscription with their amazing app through word of mouth, and I happily convert to a paid customer.

But in the status quo I am certainly a low-value or potentially negative-value user. I don’t comment, post content, or click on ads. I don’t pay them for premium features. I mostly leech off their content delivery network, and Reddit can’t monetize people like me in the way that Meta can. The proof is in their financial statements.

I’m mostly there for certain subreddits that just aren’t replicated elsewhere and my screen time on the app is dramatically lower than it was with Apollo. My foot is already 3/4 out the door.

It's not only getting the right people, it's incentivizing them properly

Same thing. In my example the function only knows whether the provided hash equals the one on file. Yours is essentially the same - is the provided DOB < the one on file (presumably, today's date 18 years ago). No other data is known about the person in either case.

This is also accomplished by just properly scoping the function. Considering the widespread availability of solutions to this well-known* problem, I wonder why anyone would "use ZKPs" - and what does that even mean? What npm should I install - and why?

Has anyone notice that Chrome experiences random bugs when it has an update pending? It's as if part of the browser gets updated to the new version, and part of it doesn't until relaunched. When it's in this pending state prior to relaunch, I get all kinds of random issues on sites & apps. Latest issue was WebAudio completely failing to play any audio, finished updating, relaunched and everything fine.

Correct, the vagus nerve itself doesn't extend into wrists and legs AFAIK, but other nerves connect to it. Wrist tapping and acupuncture stimulation of points on the wrists are quite common. I'm assuming devices like Apollo Neuro target a similar effect on those pressure points on wrist and ankles.

Here's a random article about vagus nerve and acupuncture [1]. I'm not sure about actual pubmed type studies. On a personal level, I think these devices are well worth giving a try. Just pick one with a good return policy if it doesn't work for you.

After surviving multiple rounds of layoffs, I decided to quit and not wait for the final big one. (happened months later)

That was ~9 months ago. I’ve done ZERO leetcode practice. I’ve been too busy shipping for my users and customers.

Here is what has been keeping me busy.

Shipped a Next.js/React app for artists to maintain artist profiles and submit art to the newsletter. Using MySQL, Prima, TypeScript, Tailwind, and React. Sent my 2,500,000th email/piece of art.

Onboarded 100+ artists.

Perfectionism is the enemy of done. It’s a good principle to keep in mind when you’re working on any project so that your valuable time isn’t wasted.

Sometimes it is fun to explore something and sometimes it’s better to never start. I have a running list of ideas i will never work on until the opportunity of time and savings align.

I’m not sure if it’s common but i heard this quote from an entrepreneur: “There’s nothing worse than a mediocre business “. A bad business will die of its own, a good one sustains itself, and a mediocre one grinds you down.
There's value to your experience. Most engineers on the market have not really built anything. They know how to connect the pipes. Which is not an insult - pipe connection and building something from scratch are entirely different markets. One does serverless, the other builds servers underwater. One does microservices, the other does monorepos. One goes for full test coverage, the other hires lots of QA.

If you're in a very large company, you'll very rarely be building new products, they'd simply be acquiring them and redoing all the pipes. There's no need for a person who understands a product end to end.

Your experience isn't being considered because you might be applying for the wrong market. It's like a Wordpress dev applying for a React job. Similar field, similar products, entirely different skillsets.

Yes, and establishes a BRL 50k daily fine for the users themselves if they circumvent the blockage by any means to get access to Twitter.

To me, that's punishing the users, who have no part in the legal ordeal, for the incompetence of whatever company or agency which was supposed to block the site.
To me it seems like the goal was to be a C++ alternative, not C.

I do half-agree though... I think somewhere inside Rust there is a hidden simpler language, with only a tiny subset of its features, but which still has lifetimes. I'd love to see that language.

I'm wondering what problem you experienced that this is a solution for.

"African languages" is not, in my experience, a single class of languages. There are large differences between the languages, with most of the northern languages borrowing heavily from Arabic, most of the central African/West African languages borrowing from French and the rest are different enough that they can't be considered dialects.

> I am saying insurance as a concept is stupid and anyone who has insurance is dumb except in few rare cases

I disagree with this completely. I have a car. I drive safely. It is unlikely that I will get in an accident and hurt someone. But I pay for insurance because it's _possible_ it will happen anyways. If something goes wrong, I could either

- Have the insurance I pay for cover the expense of handling it, or

- Have everything I own taken from me to cover the expense of handling it

The cost of insurance is above the the cost of (<covering the expense of a catastrophic event> * <likelihood of me having such an outcome>), but still very much below the cost of (<covering the expense of a catastrophic event>). As such, it is my belief that it makes sense for me to pay for that insurance.

I find it confusing that anyone would believe otherwise. Unless perhaps you're saying that the government should cover all such catastrophic outcomes, which doesn't seem realistic to me.

> Well, if I was on another website I would say something about you as a person

So, you'll insult me and pretend like you didn't? What are you, 6 years old? Clearly you found it insulting that I could not comprehend your view on the subject (which was not my intent), but seriously?

I find it’s easier for me to finish physical products, like woodworking, rather than software. I’m building a door right now for my patio, and let me tell you that it’s next to impossible to redo the design of a piece of wood once you’ve milled it down to a certain size or shaped it, so you learn to think very clearly about the goals of a project and the design before you cut anything. In my off time, I don’t want to endlessly struggle to finish things, so I don’t do software. I also do simracing, which also has bite sized goals, like “improve my safety rating to X” or “post three clean laps on a new track”. Though, no matter the hobby, you have to be able to set a small goal and achieve it pretty quick, so I’ll tell myself “just finish the tenons on these frame parts rough, then you can finish them tomorrow.”

Edit: To add, I don’t expect perfection from my wood projects. There are gaps and cracks, I use the wrong wood or don’t orient the grains properly, etc. That doesn’t matter, though, because everyone who sees my projects are amazed at my skill, partly because they don’t know where to look for the errors, but also because just finishing anything physical like a door represents a great feat that most won’t even try. It’s different for software, there’s a greater expectation for some reason, or perhaps a virtual product isn’t as tangible as a physical one.
