For me, just writing things down is amazingly helpful. I don't even have a workflow set up very well on it yet, just got mine a few weeks ago. Its really pretty damn good. Is it worth the money? probably not. That said, I don't regret getting one at all.

Like, how often do I ever reference my school notes... rarely. But the act of synthesizing and writing something down physically just feels sort of like a memory hack.

I don't think that is the "wrong" lesson. It's a lesson in risk. But it's not a viable strategy long term for most. I think if you teach the concept of ruin, the chance of going bust, you can help develop a healthy relationship with the concept of risk and investing. It's also pretty easy to show real examples of what risk can cause... "guh"

Seems like it could be a perfect fit for a widely deployed satellite network system...

Can you cite some of this credible evidence?

Linkedin has a setting somewhere to set your profile to "actively looking", have you tried that? I have done it previously and it always seems to result in a lot more recruiters reaching out.

Thanks for the insight. It will be really interesting to see were bitcoin and altcoins land in 20 years. I'm a crypto-noob personally and have only dabbled, but in the short term the world outside of bitcoin looks pretty damn interesting.

Tangentially related, do you have any thoughts on ethereum or other alternative crypto projects? Or are you bitcoin or bust?

It doesn't have to be a binary option. If you have control of your money and want to put it in the hands of a centralized organization you should be able to do that.

Definitely some survivor-ship bias but damn is that a good problem to have

Whats the point of trading and investing in non voting stocks? Personally, I have never been a crypto bull. But the thing is you don't have to get the point, and I don't either. There seems to be a large appetite for risk. Add in to the fact that the risk is outside of (for what we/I know) the control of any one individual entity and it becomes pretty attractive.

I mean, the idea of trading one coin for a "new" coin is pretty wide spread now. And the coin can be printed by the contract owner, if they specify it that way. So if people want to buy in to that system they totally can, and it can exist now. Its surprisingly easy to create your own coin, and the nice part about creating smart apps on blockchains is that you don't have to worry about hosting.

can you name an example of a "popular smart contract"?

I hope your sister is never my manager

I mean, people also don't go checking around every sale for items. But I would be curious to know what lengths OP goes to to identify items.

It's exactly the reason people complain about anonymous image boards. But that's what it is. Even the "SFW" boards are filled with stuff that you might find distasteful or downright wrong.

You are safe... don't worry. Unless you started downloading stuff from random users on 4chan. But if you did that i'm not sure we can help you!

I thought most companies succeed in this area by eating cost. I guess if you wanted to remain hyper local it might be possible?

Absolutely. I went through the same thing.

These seem like a good set of rules to follow. I would also add that in my experience once you get burned a time or two in production you start to develop a healthy level of paranoia and skepticism towards the code you write. I'm not sure if that step can be skipped, realistically we all create a dumpster fire here and there anyways. A healthy code review process helps as well.

Being able to solve arbitrary leetcode type problems in an interview setting.

The funny part about this is I'm much better at interviewing than being a software engineer :) I guess I could have worse problems in life...

No. Not at all. A monorepo with multiple back end projects might push all at different times. So what this means is that when designing new features across multiple services you need to design them with push safety in mind with a roll out plan to accomplish that.

For example, you are updating service B to call new endpoint on service A. First you need to make service A endpoint available, and then make service B call service A.

Just because everything exists in the same repo does not mean it all gets shoved out at once. The downside is that you can't just read the code and assume the running service is doing that, unless it's embedded in your build. Processes like automated updates and a forced update cadence (no running binaries over X days old) with proper canary/vetting before a full release allow a large org to still manage this complexity.

Uhh, I think most engineers in FAANG have no real problem getting a condo or even a house, and renting works as well. I guess as an L3/new grad it would be out of reach to buy in markets like NYC...

Wow, I wish it were so easy. Unfortunately some companies actually want engineers to find and produce value, and they tell you that. So it's not as simple as "do what you're told" because "do what you're told" often involves seeking out and creating value out of thin air...

It is very strange... I have some assumptions that it would be better for the general public to not have a credit card culture. Very rarely have I "required" the use of one, but when I was moving for my first real job out of school it was somewhat essential as a sort of buffer until the first paycheck kicked in. Not a comfortable place, but one I bet a lot of people could resonate with, and IMO a responsible use of credit.

I generally think of ideas relating to games, mostly because that is what I generally do. I think there are a lot of classic game ideas that could be brought up to speed, and a lot of new game ideas that could be reduced to increase casual popularity (think: battle royal games like pubg, dayz, which then translate to 2d games that can support large casual player bases).

I also had an idea of a platform to fight against the idea of scalping and ultimately give artists higher proceeds from ticket sales (though does not have to be restricted to concerts, think PS5 release type events as well), but I have not many insights in to the industry and am pretty comfortable at my day job for now. I think it could work because it would be possible to start small (do things that don't scale) but also eventually lead to a general system of handling ticketing and selling... but who am I kidding, I'll probably never do it :)

Alternative: Does anyone here actually invest like this currently? As in, a small number of different stocks as the main holding

Are you suggesting there is no difference between targeted and non-targeted advertisement?

And I might be the only idiot here, but I tried to run stockfish from source and it was not an instant process. In addition, there isn't really a front end, you essentially end up with a CLI to input moves.

And for those who say, hey you, there are prebuilt binaries, just download them! Check out this message [1]

" The binaries at the top of the table are fastest, but may not support all CPUs. If you don't know which CPU you have, you can go down the list and pick the first binary that does not crash. "

Yeah okay, a pragmatic set of instructions that can't fail...

From this I think we could see why a product built on top of stockfish might make sense, even if the linked product might not do as such.

I hear a lot of people saying they want to do this or that they could do this but... I would love to hear more stories about how it works in practice. Like, isn't there some level of legal liability, whether justified or not, that you would be opening yourself up to by doing this? Especially if the companies are in any way related, which could probably be hard to quantify.

Thanks for this

I assume you don't really believe getting a job at google qualifies you as superhuman, but just want to reiterate, getting a job at google does not make you superhuman and IMO has a lot more to do with time and place than raw ability...
