i basically never had to work (EU privilege + luck of being born the skill of knowing how to sell to people well) and only worked on stuff that i enjoyed and not a lot of hours (and that turned into millions fast) and my 20s/30s flew like months instead of years and didn't have the intensity of my teen years. I think it's because despite technically travelling and living in different countries a lot, going to a new place is not really a new experience after you visit 7 very different ones. The same with women and a lot of other experiences. Having kids was the only think that surprised me. Making money got old fast (i mean trying to get to the "next" level)

damn you guys are gullible

I'm going to be controversial and ask: who pays taxes in tech like they should be paid? i mean small and big corporations.

especially reading Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman! leaves a bad taste in my mouth after all these years. i can only take the title literally "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!"

Surely you're joking Mr Feynman begins in the 30s and takes us to the 60s IIRC, so one has to take into account, what the mainstream was in those times. But he is against hazing, explaining how traumatized European Jews were hazed and reliving their fears in Europe. But, of course, some things cannot be understood nowadays with the mindset we have now.

i don't mean the misogyny but the general vibe of how full of himself/sociopathic he was

there are books from the 19 century written by people with much better values


There is a nice essay from Paul Graham that starts with:

> The word "prig" isn't very common now, but if you look up the definition, it will sound familiar.


This should be required reading to make an account here.

calling someone that is rich coming from paul graham. come on guys. what's next? reading mark manson? a16z?

are macs m5 out? can you wait that long?


The base M5 is available for MBP 14”. The M5 SSD is almost 2x as fast and single core performance is 10+ % better.

The issue is that they cannot be downgraded to Sequoia. So one has to decide on what’s preferable - a step up for HW but a step down for OS or vice versa?

One would hope that Tahoe improves with time but considering the trajectory of both macOS and iOS I fear that it will take years to resolve the UX and bug issues if it ever happens.


wow thanks i somehow missed that.

I like to disable SIP and gut my Mac OS but i know that's not a very safe choice


only slightly better? really?


no


right, we don't need a lot of things, yet here we are
