I didn't read the article other than the comparison with all those great minds. I don't feel that concerned when it comes to comparing myself to such persons. I mean, should I have been the next Einstein, I would have know before reaching m

The difference probably stands in what it's meant to protect. If it gets stolen, it's not only a car, it's the key to your personal identity, along with maybe bank account, email, work secrets, etc. Losing that key would stress me much more

An interesting read on the subject, very detailed and it goes as far as the first letters and the beginning of writing: The Information by James Gleick. [1] In a chapter, he explains how the transmission of messages worked with towers, the

I never understood why there are so many sites using infinite scroll bars. I don't find it useful to navigate. When I want to find something in the feed after a few days, I need to scroll like crazy. At least, pages offered some time frame

It is essentially what Zed Shaw propose in his "Learn Code The Hard Way" books. It definitely helps to type in everything and can be applied in almost anything we need to learn. It's this memorization trick teachers usually told us to do, b

It's indeed very motivating to read/hear such things. Still, there is always this underlying fear of failure that stays present, and this fear is somehow difficult to overcome. After all, of all the dreams people have, of all the people wor

Expecting the worst case scenario has always seemed more logical. The best case scenario is implied, while the worst can often be overlooked which can lead to hard-to-deal-with situations. Concerning the goal, from what I understand it conc

When searching for nomic on github, there are a couple of nomic projects using pull requests to propose rules and fork to know who's involved. Yet, they seem empty at the moment. I'd be interested in seeing such project working though.

Sometimes, I feel like quitting facebook. Some others, I enjoy watching friends flaming on politics and video games. But most of the time, I just use it to contact people I can't contact otherwise, mostly aquaintances I rarely see. I always

I totally agree with this article. I've been playing a lot of video games in the past, always with the T.V. on, all while doing my homeworks and reading my school notes. I failed a few classes during that period of my life, and I finished p

I'm currently in a Computer Science University program that I'm doing Online and it pains me to see so many high grades. For instance, on one of the C++ homework we had, the median was 100%. It's fun to have good grades when deserved, but s
