No offense taken whatsover. : ) On the contrary, thank you for the suggestion. It's interesting you mention this because by my mid-20's I hypothesized this very condition — a mild form, as I've never experienced psychosis (th

Sure. It might be quite long if I really explained in detail, though. I really need to write the book of that eventually. Here's the very incomplete gist of it. The idea of an intelligence switch is basically a set of methods, a syst

This is very good advice, thank you. I've known about sleep cycles for a long time and indeed, I do follow such patterns — my sleep, as little as I get, seems perfectly normal from a clinical standpoint. I just have the hardest time wa

Seriously, don't do that. We tried nationalizing in Europe, within a capitalist framework: it just doesn't work. The TL;DR of 70 years of that experiment is that the State (gov and legis) is an extremely bad steward of any busines

“0.29c kWh” WHAT? Here in France I pay 0.138c (€, thus 0.15c in $) for 100% renewable elec. That's like twice as much in CA... for what I guess is not environment-friendly by a long shot? I'd really have thought with the USA f

Cue some deep learning over this centralized dataset... we might just see 'profiles' emerge that allow the system to build very ad hoc results depending on who searches what. E.g. one of the strengths of Google (which I've us

I've suffered from insomnia most of my teen and adult life (I am 37). I sometimes go up to 3 days without sleep (thus 2 nights, ~60 hours total; 'record' just shy of 80 hours), then sleep for ~12 hours. I usually work almost

That might be true, some apps just don't follow standards well (on MacOS too btw, there are old and ugly UIs from third-party vendors all over the place). But when you're living between a terminal, editor and browser, and fonts ar

“Lately though, I have noticed that we Linux types are insufferable in our own ways...” Indeed, but this is the (sour) price of 'victory' too: it means Linux is going mainstream now. Hence, it's becoming more 'popular&

If you are not a gamer and don't need a beefy GPU for development (most people don't), you can also look at more "workstation" grade laptops from e.g. Lenovo (P-series, that kinda thing) or Dell. You'll get a few en

I even take issue with the premise: “psychiatry rightly saw mental illness as rooted in biology, more specifically in the brain.” This statement is far from the big picture, imho. We've identified that the bulk of neurons rests below

This was my first remark when reading this intro. Side-unrelated note, I wish paywalled sites would at least have the decency to produce an abstract. It's always a sad day when ideas are hidden behind a gatekeeper.

As I understand it (and I might be wrong, I'm just beginning to learn mobile dev) it's only for you, as a developer — i.e. you must use the latest tools, like Apple enforces the use of the latest Xcode version. Note that for new a

Thanks for reading. Merely parroting bits that resonate with my own experience, from much smarter / more experienced people. I'll add that Go's community has real lasting power for a number of positive reasons, and it seems t

Oh totally agreed on the diversion of resources, and even before the machine (skills hired, teams divisions etc). However open worlds, imho, pose challenges but not to the extent that it explains or excuses the lack of 'basic' low

You mean it's my "tech literacy" (category) that is part of my identity, and I'm merely specifying my colors (property) within that category. Gotcha, agreed. Thanks for this insight!

My first thought exactly. Then I realized we actually have ever fewer solo games locally now... The complain I hear most is that newer games don't even have a local multiplayer mode (we used to complain it didn't have online

I suggest we also feature a way for local solo games to work locally without a remote server. I hear it's possible ... : )

The term in the context of propaganda is as clear as it gets though, if you mean to say "infecting or enabling otherwise 'sane' people with 'undesirable' ideas and behaviors". Toxic is subtext that directly spe

Not a device or product but open-source though... for me as a dev, or tech nerd, or advocate of freedoms / defender of rights, or just as an aware citizen, you know... open-source matters to a fundamental layer of our digital-izing c

Seriously, this. At the end of the day, you want to trust that your provider isn't out to get you, otherwise why are you even a customer (Oracle gets a free pass, because reasons). However, you want to know that they're serious ab

I experienced the loss of that "spark and magic" in games twice in my lifetime. The first time with Japanese console games, sometime during the PlayStation/2 era. There was something of a golden age on the way to mastery of 2

About "dumbed down" and "backwards", which can also be expressed positively to mean the same (e.g. "essential" or "synthetic"), it's because of Go's problem space: to tackle complexity at sc

It really depends which country you're from, it doesn't make much sense to throw around numbers. Market structure also plays a big part in the final number, e.g. Switzerland or the US have much higher 'net' salaries (aft

That was extremely interesting, thanks for the pointers. There are really so many ways to conduct "hiring", the process of onboarding someone new into a group; and this serves as impeccable illustration that if you are willing to

Sounds to me like your colleague did not use a laptop supporting Linux (did he try to ask Dell directly?), in which case it would not be "work" but amateur "tinkering". Even if it does install and seem to work well at
