The book is also open domain, so anyone interested should look it up.

The article never even says what the "alt-right conspiracy theory" is. Just that it the source is disreputable.

I think it is unverified, that is the issue.

Remember to encrypt your backups when uploading to the cloud. Makes sharing files less convenient however.

The attitude some have of a SAH spouse does not make the definition of a SAH spouse.

by abnry 4y ago
> A SAH spouse is not an equal partner with a 50% contribution. More of an oldest child with extra responsibilities and a higher allowance. This is a really depressing way of looking at things.

I enjoy browsing with curl and discarding the bodies of http requests. The headers give me all I need.

I love this! Although, I don't think it is a simple state diagram.

by abnry 4y ago
I really struggle with the value of simple state machine diagrams. For example, I get very little out of the Unix process state machine diagram. I've also seen designs involving just two states. What am I missing?

I want more of this metagaming in chess. That's one of the things I find interesting about Hans. His interviews suggest he's taking a sort of meta game approach. He suggested once a move of his against Alireza was a bluff because

I am disappointed with Magnus. He is misusing the weight of his reputation even if cheating is a big deal in chess. The first mistake was still choosing to play when he had reservations once Hans was invited. The second mistake was quitting

For some introverts, at least for myself, they are so inclined to do things by themselves they don't realize they are hungry for social interaction. I knew of a person who had a brain tumor removed and they lost their sense of hunger.

Surprised that someone is willing to give these loans. What collateral is there other than the idea that future earnings may improve? It sort of is implicit support for the idea that taller men do better.

You can derive what sort of variance a person will tolerate if they have a "utility function" quantifying the marginal value of each dollar. If you are risk averse (which people usually when they have a small net worth) then your

Yeah, it is self centered, but it is fun.

You forgot these sentences right before it: > Undoubtedly, as Markdown became more popular, someone else would have pointed out this problem. Gruber himself would have been annoyed by it if he ever needed to write a code block with backs

Never knew it was a stereotype that Indian males lack confidence with women. It's funny to me when someone's denunciation of a stereotype ends up teaching me about the "stereotype". It has happened to me before.

This book helped me be okay with not finishing a book. Another way I put it is that the book is there to serve me, not me to serve the book.

I enjoy navigating without gps. I can always memorize most of the way there as it is usually just following main roads. It is the last portion that can be hardest. I like to think of directions in terms of "topological complexity"

Okay, I'll be the first to share my score: NaN, because I couldn't figure out the first few rounds. Actually got 780.

You can dig up examples where the police did do this. I bet that is harder.

You come off as saying the arrest is warranted but in a way so as to suggest you aren't saying so.

My understanding is the 1/r^2 behavior comes from solving for Green's function of a PDE. Gravity is similar to Gauss's law (i.e. 1/r^2 behavior of charged particles) in the underlying PDE. So something in that equation w

I had a very similar experience. I read the book from the library as a kid. I originally thought it was to do with ciphers, as I was into codes then. It introduced me to the programming section of the library, and I expanded to the math sec

Sheesh, some people are incapable of taking offense at anything and would love to. Don't stigmatize those people who have trouble feeling feelings. ;-)

But it's only half true. The anxiety over how others' perceive you is perhaps overblown, but you'd discount a whole lot of anxiety as irrational if you say that nobody forms judgments about you.

That's probably just called homeschooling. The way I described how my parents' homeschooled me in highschool is that they were a general contractor for my education. Writing classes were online, history classes were from the local

It really feels like you should be paying for streams, not where you are streaming to. Max out your 4-streams at a time? Well, then, pay more. Seems fair.
