7 Films I Love: 1. Perfect Days. Can you find enlightenment from cleaning toilets? After watching this Tokyo-based film, you might well think so. Perfect Days is beautifully shot and earned lead actor Kōji Yakusho (Shall We Dance) the Best Actor Award at the 76th Cannes Film Festival. 2. The Wild Robot. This is a family-friendly, “This is so cheesy! Why am I crying?!” type of feel-good watch. This film was adapted from the #1 New York Times bestselling illustrated middle-grade novel The Wild Robot by Peter Brown. 3. Argentina, 1985. I absolutely loved this film.

Co-founder and CEO of Linear; previously principal designer at Airbnb, where he led the Design Language System, and founding designer at Coinbase.
Important for employees to ask some of these questions about equity before joining. Sometimes founders just don’t have their own experience these things so they don’t prioritize the employee equity. At Linear we tried to make it friendly as possible since the beginning: early exercise, 10y exercise window, reminding people about their 83b election, pushing back on 409a valuations, keeping company valuation in check and increasing over time, informing people about qsbs, and now running employee liquidity programs for all past and current employees. Quoting @deedydas Many startup employees do not recognize the sheer litany of ways that a founder can screw you over without you even knowing.

Spent a good part of the day repairing my electric lawnmower. It would be easy to find someone to do small engine repair on a gas one, and it would be easy to throw out a ~8 year old mower and get a better replacement that uses the same large batteries as my chainsaw. This does make me wonder how environmentally friendly this kind of electric tool really is. Anyway, it seems to be either a hall effect sensor problem or an off balance blade that's causing the hall effect sensor to think the mower is overloaded or has hit something. Runs fine without the blade it turns out. So I'll try replacin… Related

So the irony here is that when you look at that field, it seems like we've reached levels of intelligence that virtually no human can match because many of these security holes are about stringing combo moves together. You find one little vulnerability here that by itself might not be the worst thing in the world, but then you combine it with four others, and suddenly you have RCE, remote command execution. Humans who are able to do that are very rare.

Playground by Richard Powers is a strange and wonderful novel set (mostly) on a remote atoll in French Polynesia that follows the tangled lives of an environmental advocate, a sculptor, a tech entrepreneur, and a brilliant bookworm trying to escape the grinding poverty of Chicago's South Side. The richly drawn characters drive the story, but what I love most about the book is that it's a love letter to the ocean with prose that comes closer than anything else I've read to capturing what it feels like to, for example, dive a thriving coral reef.

From one piece
Do you think it is more important to find inspiration or to get to work and write?
2 beliefs, in the piece's order there
Their words
I also have an affinity with artists who treat their craft as a job and are not dependent on the vagaries of inspiration — because I am one of them. Like most people with a job, we just go to work.

Pen poised, I sit to attention, in my suit, on the edge of my imagination, prepared for the beautiful line to arrive. Sometimes it does, sometimes it does not — either way I am powerless to influence the outcome.

remote work
Their words
when the main communication channels are asynchronous text and video calls (as would be the case in a remote work setup) the influence of the loudest person in the room wanes. It's transferred to the best communicators.

it's all about communication and support. don't treat remote workers as second class citizens. run better meetings. record decisions. make sure people are building relationships #AskTwitterEng Quoting @Engineering OK for real this time. Last question! What's one piece of advice you want to share with other engineering leaders looking to build collaborative remote teams? @michaelmontano @iamcal #AskTwitterEng Related
Talk to as many people as you can. Read everything available. Take part in as many virtual 'social' activities as possible. So much of what you get out of an internship is about what you put in, and that requires much more effort when you're remote. #AskTwitterEng Quoting @Engineering Question 10: any advice for interns looking for / starting remote internships? 👩🏫👨🏫 @michaelmontano @iamcal #AskTwitterEng Related
hmm, good question. much of the prior literature has really been about evangelizing remote work, rather than practical advice for either making the transition abruptly as we just have, or the accelerated transition we'll see over the next few years #AskTwitterEng Quoting @Engineering Question 9: Any good book recs on remote work? @michaelmontano @iamcal #AskTwitterEng remote work Related

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
