Finding such an ignorant comment at the top of HN is quite disappointing. Obviously, you are still in the first stage of competence https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Four_stages_of_competence and you don't know what you

Some people prefer learning from examples (inductive) while other people prefer learning the theory bottom-up (deductive). This article may be for the first kind of people. Everyone uses both kinds of reasoning but I know I have deeper unde

Quite an interesting counterexample. The trick is in the self-reference where the fact that you believe the premise actually affects the conclusion which most of the time is not the case. I might consider this an edge case and include it in

Just note that believing something because it has nice consequences is just logically wrong. Formally: 1) A => B 2) I would really like B to be true, because it has some benefits. 3) Therefore A must be true. If we are in search of truth

Encirclement was just the outcome. What was really interesting to me in the battle of Cannae was the feigned retreat.

I have the same experience with many Bluetooth devices, but I have to say that my Bose QC35 headphones are almost flawless. Definitely one of the greatest things I ever bought. They even handle gracefully playing music from my laptop and wh

Easy. It's not about LOC written but about making the right decisions. One bad decision can cost you months of work. Also many people are not even able to finish more complex projects. I am just not sure if they are 1X developers or 0.

Tried surfing last summer when I was at Bali. It was one of the best experiences of my life. In the next few days I also started scuba diving which I like even more. It's a shame I currently live in a landlocked country.
