excitednumber commented on Ask HN: How to find time to learn after full-time job? · Posted by u/__rito__
My process
1 utilize commute time. If you drive: podcasts about things you want to get better at. If you are on a commuter rail (where it’s normal to laptop) mooc or side projects.
2 temptation bundle: you get to do a fun thing if you do the learning etc thing first
3 micro learning: make it easy to pick up your phone and read a few pages vs wherever else you spend your time. Load the book into your reader, download the class for offline etc
To me, this just reinforces the feel that SQL is a wrong tool for data science, i.e. it is much easier and robust to do it outside of a DB.
Yes.
I’ve learned an unbelievable amount trying to systematically invest on my own.
All of what I have learned is levered in my career and I’ve utilized that knowledge during all interviews.

Look, you have to decide if you are passive investing or not.
The point of the article is that tech, specifically the big names we all know, account for the vast majority of the indexes gain this year.
They are asking if you should go against the index weighting and do your own weighting so you aren't so heavy on tech, but again, that goes against the ethos of passive investing.
If you make a change like that then you are an active investor.
So just decide if you are an active or passive investor and let that settle your path.
If you chose a market cap weighted index then there will always be outliers, just because right now there are a few in tech doesn't mean you should throw away your passive investment thesis and go active to avoid the gains you make from them.
Remember, these companies are not speculative, they are making gains because they are making money hand over fist.
That just seems like a bad move.
If you don't want outliers then chose an equal weight index, just know that you'll almost always under perform but usually have less volatility.
> just know that you'll almost always under perform but usually have less volatility.
I’m really not sure this is right at all.

While this is all true, some things are much easier in Python because it is a fairly high level language. We had an in-house language for web pages (history) whose runtime we had upgraded to Java (originally, C++). Trying to write tools that analyzed and helped debug those pages was painful, because... everything had to be reified into types, and what Graham says about sculpting is true. Java is an awful language for exploratory programming.
Horses for courses.
And in most places exploratory code becomes production code because that’s life.
