If you want to argue that Taylor Swift is technically inferior then that's fine, but tens of millions of young women disagree with assertions of her "artistic inferiority", and I'd be curious to know why your opinion matters more than theirs.

You gotta train on something though

Saying that the bonds were garbage was not incorrect. It just took a lot longer for most people to realize it

I'm not sure that this is the way. It's much easier to get a small amount of knowledge about a lot of topics. If you want to be a generalist then that's great, otherwise, I think it's important to keep asking yourself "How can I drill deeper?"

This is specifically regarding the third point; I agree with the first two!

Do you have a better way to govern large corporations than shaming them? This isn't a pers-- sorry, forgot that this is America we're talking about.

(Which is why I rent.)

Yeah the housing market really needs to cool off, it's getting pretty concerning.

I'm the same. I find playing hockey, basketball, etc to be the most "relaxing" of all activities. The only way I can really switch off is by doing something else.

MS research has historically been fantastic in computer vision.

Well, for the people who have a tent controlled apartment it's certainly not terrible for controlling cost. Be more specific.

Rent control in Toronto is a godsend. Housing prices may be out of control but rent is still reasonable.

Uhhh... how about almost every Nordic country?

It mentions Waterloo because it's one of the best EE/CS schools in the world.

Yeah really, I was going to make the same comment. UofT is outstanding.

That's quite a straw man, bud.

Good call. 800m-10km track races too.

This is spot on.

Yes

Came here to say the same thing, it's such a joke. We lose huge amounts of talent to the US because of the joke that is Canadian tech salaries.

This is great stuff, thank you.

If someone else is well versed in complexity then it's fine to hire a js person with no knowledge of it.

If you're expecting the candidate to produce performant code, they may need said knowledge.

All I can say is, I was exactly where you are now. You sound like you're on the right track, sometimes getting publications accepted takes a long time. Good luck to you.

I think it's both. I mean, just look at the variance in response to caffeine that people have. The nervous system clearly comes into play in all this.

Not sure why you're being downvoted, but yes, of course. The same issues can be found everywhere.

It isn't just startups themselves that cause these issues, there's a predisposition. My cofounders way back when could handle the pressure just fine.

I'd recommend anyone who is experiencing mental health issues to talk to a therapist. CBT is good for panic, and psychotherapy is good for anxiety and depression (imo.)

They often have issues, in my experience. Not bad, but shouldn't be the backbone of every package manager out there.

Meditate. It won't fix everything but it helps.

I agree with the above and you make a fair point, mine still stands though: a decent distributed db could still do substantially better.

Well, the above poster is half right. Blockchains don't scale as well as, say, a distributed database. It's not due to computational constraints, it's the amount of data handled by every node.

Bitcoin can currently handle about 2 transactions per second.

Chris and Julie are doing a great job -- I've been enjoying working through it.

Hope things turn around for you.
