I too use intellij and neovim for everything and agree mostly, but what's your motivation to check out new editors? Is it for just for fun? In my mind an editor is one of those things I wouldn't consider changing unless the alternative is heavily funded and leagues much better than my current choice.

I always wondered if he went back because he hoped to use his popularity after surviving the poisoning attempt to stir up enough chaos and somehow get into power. He probably felt if he even had a 5% chance he had to take it. Him being a narcissistic opportunistic politician makes a lot more sense to me than some heroic figure who risked his life for the Russian people.

American news media is all about the narratives and they love heroes and martyrs. I imagine in the next couple of weeks this guy will be turned into the Russian MLK of some kind, some comment here already made the comparison. It's just unreal how blatantly manipulative the whole thing is.

I can't believe how unrealistic, yet totally plausible that sounds.

Guess I'm a moron, thank you for the enlightenment.

Do they see themselves as philosophers on the <topic> or <topic>icians who focus on philosophy?

Sounds like a movie script.

Not agreeing with OP, boards don't always focus on immediate results and CEOs aren't androids that just care about pleasing the board. The world is rarely that simplistic.

Come on, you say it as if every board member is an android focused only on short term results. They've had a board when Eric was CEO and Google was doing it's best work as well.

It's not really about the board, Google has become a mature company that's not going to grow 20% YoY anymore and this is what happens to such businesses. Unless they're lead by an exceptionally strong person who can stand up to economic forces, they will turn them into IBM.

If you have some ambition and desire to work hard, large parts of Google were already wrong places to be in 2010-11.

I went in bright eyed, excited about the challenging work I would get to do, but instead found inept co-workers happy to do minimal amount of work while enjoying the perks and chilling most of the time. Couple that with the undeserved air of smugness many co-workers carried and the cult-like social environment... it was already not a great place to be, at the very least the team I was part of.

Lmao, most creative example ever.

Yeah, it's quite productive in a counter intuitive way, not having a ton of features just removes a lot of tiny decisions you have to make in a richer language.

Good luck!

Economist has a decent round-up for the week. https://www.economist.com/the-world-in-brief

They usually don't cover tech that much, but it's reasonably good politics and business.

That hasn't changed from before, just regular ones everyone uses.

FT, WSJ, NYT, one Indian paper from back home. I don't read all of course, just pick the ones I want to read from RSS reader and any interesting things I come across on HN and some subreddits, also via RSS.

RSS and a designated slot to consume your feeds in a reasonably systematic manner.

Letting algorithms figure out the presentation of information just doesn't work well for people. Even FT which I read is always putting random crap on the front page and pushing important bits down to the second or third page-down.

It's the power law in action isn't it, the older the work that's still being read, the longer it will be read into the future.

I've been reading all my news on Saturday, I didn't know what happened with SamA at OpenAI for an entire week while it was all anyone would talk about. I just waited until my Saturday slot and now I know probably as much as anyone.

I feel this designated intervals approach is working well for me. You slow down and don't clutter your mind, but at the same time you don't miss anything and probably absorb greater amount of information in a much shorter time.

Idk why everyone is piling on this comment, they clearly make a distinction between programming and software engineer.

It's one of those things that show up at very large file sizes isn't it? Most programmers work with tiny text files 99% of the time.
