Buy less stuff but nicer stuff. And fixing them instead of throwing them away if they’re broken. If you can’t fix it you never owned it.

Old post but a classic one. Reminds me of the 10,000 hour rule of gladwell’s book outliers

APM role at Google (started by Marrisa Mayer?) is only for fresh MS CS grads. Anyone knows more details please let me know if I'm mistaken.

I wonder how this list changed in the past 10 years. Time for a new list PG?
alant | 8 years ago | on: Learning to program is getting harder
As many others, I also disagree. Back in the day, laptops are more expensive and less capable. Now you can program everywhere with laptop and wifi. More importantly, sites like SO makes learning to program so much easier than before. Back then, if you don’t know somebody you might be stuck with some silly issues for a long time. Not to mention Windows had frequent blue screen of death.

Ultimately, yes, but just like the workers who tried to destroy machines that took their jobs during the first industrial revolution, truckers will need a bit time to adjust to the driverless world

I always wanted these! I’ve been using cmd/alt and arrow keys by accident many times but no luck. Thank you!
alant | 8 years ago | on: China’s High-Speed Train Map Puts U.S. Transportation to Shame
I see your point. However, many things work in small countries like Switzerland where the population is more homogeneous and highly educated wouldn't work in large countries like the US with a more diverse population. Moreover, the tax rate is also quite different. Public transit like trains require tax money. However, car buying is more individual's decision. Unfortunately, raising taxes is quite unpopular in the US.
