Here's a simple way to get into the journaling habit. Add to your bashrc the alias: alias today="vim $PATH/$(date +"%Y-%m-%d").txt" Substitute vim with your editor of choice. Will automatically generate a new t

Got me to laugh too! I thought I was clever with my O(n) solution. Let A be the original array and let B be the sorted array. Just loop through A and assign B[A[i]] = A[i]. But this is still dumb! lol.

It's a genuine thing for people these days to misuse the phrase "exponential growth" when they just mean "really fast grow". I don't the hyperbole was strictly intended.

You are right, I should have qualified my statement with that. But given that the modern global language is (for the time) English, I would suspect my belief is more likely true for native English speakers.

Code is what got me as a teenager interested in tech. It is an awesome book.

I am of the opinion that many people who want to learn a language don't have any real reason to learn a second language other than to say they know two languages. Unless you have extended family or somehow became smitten with a foreign

I tried blocking the blowhards, but it didn't work. Problem was retweets and the 10% of the time someone sane decided to tweet something insane. Hard to counter that. My feed was just too leaky. So I quit. Things seemed to change aroun

I still get goosebumps remembering the scene in "journey to the center of the earth" when they see a human figure lumbering across the cavern. Paris in the 20th century was also really cool to read. Almost every Jules Verne book h

So don't worry about groups of species (like gulls or pigeons) and just learn to recognize them as a pigeon or gull. UNLESS you happen to see a lot of different kinds of those species. You'll probably find a lot of house sparrows

If you haven't taken up bird watching as a hobby, you should absolutely do it. You know that feeling of playing runescape or minecraft or some other game and finding that one rare item? Birding is like that, except in real life. I have

You may not be rabid in opposition to religion or caustic towards personal adherents--that's not what I had in mind--but your second paragraph to me clearly reads as anti-religion. Apocalyptic teachings or teachings that the church wil

There are numerous rich disciples of Jesus. It is not clear that all of them gave away all of their wealth. You are correct that love of money and possessions is crucial concern as a Christian, and that Christians are taught to rely on the

I am responding primarily to "Churches should go back to being churches. No reason a religious organization needs a 100 billion warchest." Presumably, the person who wrote this is against religion/mormonism/christianity.

The tiresome argument is that "organization I don't like has a lot of money... they should stop having a lot of money!" There may be a plethora of valid reasons to dislike the organization, but it doesn't follow that the

Nobody creates a ledger in their accounting books called "money from bribes". At the very least, you can argue there is a conflict of interest.

It's kinda funny how we selectively care. Usually we only care about the things we feel we could be good at. Someone like Lebron James has a lot more status than I ever will. But I just don't care because I have never been good

"On your level" just screams pretentiousness. Since when is money the measure of a man anyways?

Categorizations in general are fine, but most people assume too much of them. The best way to think of personality is as the average class of behaviors across most circumstances. Suppose I show you a video of someone quite talkative, mo

There are a lot of good board game apps. The only thing you buy in app is expansions to the games.

So what have you done with the laptop? I love the build quality and lightness of the pixelbooks but spending so much for something to brick in 5 years is an issue.

You could argue this saves money in the long run. If a 3rd party resource is not clearly marked as third party, you can get angry people wasting customer service resources over a poorly made product.

I mean, they haven't taken it to court. They probably have a brand management team (understandably, because that impacts use of the subway) and some overzealous employee took an hour to file a complaint with Etsy.

The reason the article is annoying is that there could be some very interesting criticisms based on what was written. "P-hacking" and related statistical fudging is a valid concern, but you need technical details. The skepticism

TL;DR "I don't believe black holes exist and it is easy to p-hack your image processing algorithm, so I don't buy the media hype of the first image of a black hole."

A few years ago I realized something: I am extremely skeptical of watching and buying into a random documentary but almost unquestioningly am willing to pick up a book. There are millions of published books out there and a lot of them are j

Is there something about being a flight attendant that changes they way you use clothing? Does the air pressure do something? It seems odd that Lands End would run into such an issue when their whole business is making clothes.

There is a place for encouraging students to go to art school... the catch is that they need to have obvious signs of world class talent.

I'm pretty sure the observers reported both radar sightings and visual sightings. It wasn't radar alone.

Thank you for saying this. There are three classes of people: (a) hardened criminals/terrorists who work professionally, (b) amateur criminals who don't know what they are doing and (c) law abiding citizens. Of all the criminal ac
