I made flash cards when I read atomic habits as an exercise as I wanted to put some of the ideas from Andy Matuschak to the test. I remember and have internalized more from this book than any other self help book I have…
On the flip side, the code that he originally wrote would never scale to a billion dollars. It was wildly inefficient. Someone with a bit more experience as a game developer, someone a bit senior if you will, was…
Talk to people and be curious why they don't value code reviews.
How would you go about proving such a thing?
Kagi gave me the same
I think dict(name=name, age=age) can be definitely be more readable and ergonomical to write than {"name": name, "age": age}.
Can you elaborate on point 3. Did you fix the deficiencies using supplements or a changed diet? On what time scale did you see improvements?
I think this is an expectation thing. People expect to be able to figure it out in time x. They expect they'd have to use y time to find the solution in the docs. And people will most often estimate that x <<< y, having…
You can set the location for your search, but I find it a bit tedious. You either have to push two buttons (advanced search+change location) or do the search+change location. This is my main gripe with Kagi so far.…
Competitive RTS, programming and being able to stand on my hands for minutes at the time left me with wrists that hurt all the time. After I started climbing all wrist and back pain has disappeared.
This sounds like spiritual bypass, which is a failure mode of mindfulness a lot of people can fall into. You say it drives your wife crazy, so it seems that being in this state doesn't actually help you resolve issues…

How can I effectively approach extending Python with Rust? I encountered some challenges while attempting to translate Python objects to Rust. My intuition suggests that it's more straightforward to work with arrays or…
This was my immediate thought as well! Can someone more mathematical say if this is an unreasonable thought?
What do you inspect on your recordings?
You probably don't want to test 1 day vs 2 weeks. At day 1 the beans have not degassed enough to release all their flavor unless you take special care during the brewing process. Around 1 week after roast is optimal for…
The 10k hours number is also dubious. It just happens to be the average number of hours students at some special violin school have spent in solitaire practice by the time they turn 18 (or what ever age they apply for…
Adam was very effective when it got introduced so it was widely adopted. Since then only models that work well with Adam have made it from the idea stage to actually working. I think there's reason to believe we have…
Many of the replies so far seem to focus on what you can do for others. What about taking the opposite perspective. How do you relate to your own vulnerabilities? How do you comfort yourself when things are bad or you…

Wouldn't the cooled down gas expand when heated leading to higher pressure, so you need to pump gas down?
Why would that be interesting?
