I like this. Both for the astute problem identification and the self-empowered solution.
I read The Road under similar circumstances (though the commute was more like ~30+ minutes on a stifling and oppressively densely packed underground train) - I felt numerous times that my vision, or my perception, or my…
Thank you for giving me the solution to this problem! I always wanted devdocs to work (long train journeys especially would suddenly be more fun) but after this happened a couple of times and I couldn't figure it out or…
Namaria's Law: "Software expands to occupy all hardware available. If you throw more hardware at the problem, you get bloated software."
Games Workshop did a pretty good one this year - which I enjoyed and think you might enjoy because what's funny is the absurdity of it, not that it makes a fool of anyone: https://youtu.be/uWgKkN4c1QI
Nobody ever actually reads TAOCP*. Beyond that, you'd have to ask him. Anything 'useful', or industry/professional related, are particular, specific things that he can get for himself, as and when necessary. Anything…
This is absolutely fantastic, and above all the other choices here that I agree are wonderful, this is absolutely one of the most absorbing and interesting books you could spend your time in and realise "oh, there isn't…
Since I'm getting out and working on something similar right now - is there anything(s) you'd recommend in particular for the reading part of learning?
TL;DR: yes. Lots of other good information from others here, especially brundolf. Other things to consider: You can 'date around' at the beginning to speed up finding someone suitable - since getting to know a therapist…
Aside from some major religions mandating the expansion of humanity (or at least their faithful) - which I suppose could be hubris in the religion - why is it excessively prideful to want our species to continue to…
You have written exactly what I think about this, but more clearly than I could write it down. Every rebuttal and complaint against this seems to centre around how the moment someone touches an IDE they become a…
When I first read his first two books was when I had just left university and moved to a big city and gotten a 'proper' job, and I didn't get how you were supposed to organise your time in an office and what you were…
I got a lifetime subscription for 90% off from a link posted on HN when brain.fm first started. Anecdata: it is probably one of the best purchases I've ever made for workplace success/productivity. The focus music works…
A meaningful part of what I found useful was that I knew ~<10% of the content. It was 8 hours effort (Tuesday+Thursday 1 hour lunchtimes for four weeks, including all videos, quiz's, note taking (on the phone I was…
I have completed both of the following: 1) https://www.coursera.org/learn/learning-how-to-learn 2) https://www.coursera.org/learn/machine-learning I highly recommend both of them, if they cover a subject you're…
I'm curious what you think of European support for/collaboration with the USA vs a more self-interested Europe (not isolationist, just not directly aligned with any of USA/Russia/China)? I haven't heard any clear views…
Do you think that individual countries (or the EU itself) counts as a comparable fourth entity in the USA-Russia-China trinity of 'global superpowers' (if that's the right term)?
As a non-economist (amateur or professional), I get the impression that countries are losing their concern of the repercussions of displeasing the USA economically. Is this an accurate interpretation? If so, is it that…
Jut in case anyone doesn't do the date-math/scroll down past the comments, all 5 of the following blog posts are finished and linked to half way through the comments (ctrl+f: pingback).
Search for 'dubai cybertruck' and you'll already find reports of police forces ordering them. A long range, high-acceleration + high-speed utility vehicle that's marketed as very robust/bulletproof? Definitely.
Do you an opinion on the London Hackspace?
Is there any news on whether or not it worked? I read the article (albeit quickly as I'm on lunch break), but I can't find anything reporting on whether or not the experiment resulted in healthy children, or if they are…
Does anyone have a link to or a way to access the dataset? I couldn't see one in the article.
Eisenhorn by Dan Abnett. It's actually a triology (Xenos, Malleus, Hereticus). It comes in omnibus format now but will not take a long time to get through. Not a difficut or life changing read - just a good time, with…
I had the luck to get a 90% off lifetime subscription code off HN years ago. Literally one of the best things I ever did for my career development. When I was a junior developer who had no idea about software…
