Your analogies are actually terrible. If you can’t see it, I am sorry. And also, this is not reddit or Twitter. Hell, the reason why you are being this angry is probably because it’s a forum like this. People here won’t respond to your ange

Why are you so mad. Your argument is so overblown that even the modicum of value that is in your argument is rendered useless. Why don’t you ask people to invent math, then, and not show them the way? Why even teach anything? Of course peop

Another great pair of interviews with one of the creators of ORCA (goes into a lot more detail): https://futureofcoding.org/episodes/044 https://futureofcoding.org/episodes/045.html

I could never get my head around the numbers. I just have a custom layout where for 1,2,3,9,0 they are without shift, and for 4,5,6,7,8 they are with shift. So for me shift 1 is &, but shift 4 is 4. It actually works really well.

I'd go all the way and also add dvorak (programmer's) to the mix. But if somebody goes out of the way to buy an ergonomic keyboard, they are probably fiddling around with keymaps, too.

Okay this is really great. This is exposing holes in my explanations. Thank you for writing this up. All of what you said is true, with regard to your examples (e.g. change from A-> B with respect to driving). I doubt anyone can deny tha

Yeah I use words imprecisely, on purpose (doesn't work for everybody). If I had to break it down, when I say "habits don't work", I mean "habits that you consciously put effort into and construct will end up doing m

So book on memory reconsolidation isn't necessarily a methodology, but a bit of science that I used to justify the methods I used. This book[1] by Bruce Ecker is good. Yeah Kukla is a hard book to get, but very worth it. It provides a

I don't think CBT or BJ Fogg's methods are a useful source for understanding how the mind works. I have limited exposure to CBT, but I used to do research for BJ Fogg. These models are descendents from behavioral psychology, which

Woah yeah. That skews things drastically.

The reason why habits don't work is because habits don't work. Unless you actually change your mind (what is causing these habits) in a pretty comprehensive, introspective way, habits won't get you anywhere. Although if you a

I will say using this as umbrella explanation for laziness can be very, very, very bad for psychological introspection. Very bad. But what you are saying is probably right.

You say it like pointing out an obvious problem is hard to do. Programming is a very complicated activity, and of course it can be improved. Anything can be improved. There is no doubt about that. The question is whether it is easy to impro

Note that when you ask a question like this, you will get a biased selection of answers. People who love niche languages for whatever reason will be more than ready to answer these sorts of questions. Passionate people are great, but you of

Improvement of boring things leads to interesting things. When we went from 2G to 3G/4G, we went from images to videos. 10x improvement in data transmission may lead to other forms of media becoming more readily accessible. If what is

You can’t really account for every externality, without also considering positive externalities.

Simple breathing meditation or mantra meditation would still work. Any form of meditation that isn't too forceful.

Technical debt is a very useful term for talking about a similar concept for the mind: psychological debt. If all you do is learn and learn and you don’t reorganize what you have learned (through proper introspection and reunderstanding), s

I know of Hazel[1] as well. Is there a more free-form version of typed holes? The implementations here seem very cumbersome. Perhaps a version of this that has more focus on the duality of code as both runnable, complete code, and intermedi

I would think you could use the pre-trained ML model and achieve the same result. If you really want to hack away at it, the Machine Learning course at Stanford has really good notes. http://cs229.stanford.edu/syllabus-fall2

You could probably use NRC Emotion Lexicon[1] to categorize the titles into different emotions and sort it like that, as well and give it some normalized emotional score/category for X. Then use logistic regression for Y being before&#

I’m a millennial and I don’t understand how this is not a problem. People need boundaries and ownership in order to thrive. Yes some things should be shared but everything is a balance. You cannot just have anyone walking into your house. S

Is this feature 'debug and continue' unique to Visual Studio? It sounds awesome. (Is it not possible in vim or emacs?)

The user and the designer have very different motives. It is no wonder that there is a significant misunderstanding. The user just wants to do what they want to do. Usually the motive is very straight-forward, and almost fleeting. A small s
