I have a 2008 and a 2001 Honda. Both work great. Both are better than anything from 1985.

If you have never seen this I am begging you to watch. Maybe I'm a bad person but I just had beer come out my nose and I've seen it a dozen times

Getting setup for the birthday party in the backyard and I played a little badminton with mini me. Someone seems to have added some weights to my feet and stiffened my knee joints without my knowledge, not cool whoever played this joke on me

All of the people who actually read were saying earlier how it's actually a major source of anxiety knowing they can't ever possibly read all of the books, and this dingus is like "there are not enough books!"

Had a discussion about this recently with some friends/colleagues.

Not knowing things is perfectly fine! You can't know everything, and you no one expects you to know a lot early in your career. What we are looking for is how you approach what you don't know, how willing you are to learn

in my experience the problem with younger tech guys is really not what they don't know. they are very smart. they are however constitutionally incapable of knowing what they don't know. depending on the project, this makes them extremely risky hires

the absolute smartest people I know know a lot, but more notable is that they are constantly moving things from the don't know they don't know category into the realm of things they know they don't know. the problem is that that's an attitude to develop and not a skill to learn.

there might after all be a connection between β€” to use the idiotic terms β€” EQ and IQ. I've discovered there certainly is at an elite level at least

Caught this in @maxread.info’s latest and this is such a good articulation of the difference between early 20s ambitious young people and folks who have a bit of experience (including failure).

β€œIt’s an attitude, not a skill” is it in a nutshell.
