Ask HN: Top podcast episodes of all time?

Andrew Huberman is compiling a list of the top 10 podcast episodes of all time. Naval @ Joe Rogan is 1st.That is also probably number 1 for me (it was life changing.) The other Naval podcasts at The Knowledge Project, his "How to get rich" series would be there as well. But I'm confident the HN crowd will know about the other Naval episodes.If not including Naval's, what are for you the top 10...

Yes, I’m basically asking for free ideas

Ask HN: How do I improve my emotional intelligence

I feel like I’m very self aware, both internally and externally. I know that what I will say (because of the way I will say it) will be delivered badly and probably make the person sad/angry, but I cannot find a way of fixing the words I use! I feel like I have a big problem with my emotional intelligence. To fix this, I am looking for a book that is what “The mom test” is to customer...

Ask HN: What would you do if you had 2 months free time to find startup ideas?

I've been accepted into a programme called Entrepreneur First [0], which is basically Love Island for co-founders. The programme is quite cool; the sum of the companies coming out of the programme are worth over 10 billion dollars.At EF, they go against the Ycombinator advice of only seeking tostart a startup if you have an idea. You basically start pairing up with a random person in the...

Ask HN: Any of you with current or past dry eye (mgd, blepharites)?

I've had Lasik surgery and it didn't go particularly well. I've developed meibomian gland dysfunction and it's been a pain to- look at screens - work in environments with heavy AC - survive in cold weather (I'm currently in the UK, it's cold and windy, and my pores (glands) basically don't open so less tears come out of my eyes.)I wonder if anybody else has been through this and has found a way...

Ask HN: What do you consider to be the fundamentals of programming?

I guess there's a stack of knowledge and you can always pick at which bit of this stack you'd like to be. You can learn about JavaScript but use whatever you know about Assembly to help you code (e.g. is that multiplication really the same as adding that number 4 times to itself. one is more expensive than the other... bla bla).To you in your career, are there some things you consider to be...

I guess the only reason I read all of Paul Graham's essays was because I had it avaiable in Kindle format[1].I've been trying to find kindle format essays for other investors such as Marc Andreesen, Sam Altman, Naval, etc but I couldn't find it. Does anybody know of the existence of such?[1] https://github.com/ofou/graham-essays

Ask HN: Devs who passed whiteboarding at FAANG: how do you feel about it?

Most of the blogs I read about whiteboarding and leetcode style questions come together with hate. “It doesn’t test real world scenarios” or “not proof of how well I’m gonna do at the job”.Do you agree with those? Or is it just the case that the tests are designed to see if the person applying is actually really smart and interviewers want to work with really smart people, and those complaining...

Ask HN: How do you prepare for the worst in life?

I feel like this is the forum where I can get relevant answers to this question.I'm not a lunatic thinking we are on the verge of apocalypse or anything, I just want to minimize as many regrets as I can in my life. Part of it, is being prepared for the worst.A few examples of how I currently do that:- I have a fire extinguisher at home - I have first aid at home and know how to apply it - I...

Ask HN: Starting a startup with typed code x none typed code

I'm not a really good programmer and I still have problems with types in TypeScript x JavaScript, for example.I'd like to start a business and I would of course move a lot faster by simply writing JavaScript instead of TypeScript.If I chose the JavaScript route, what considerations should I have in mind?
