Well, motivation/ambition seems like a very high-level target; I'm probably not really shedding light on this subject, but just for completeness, I found that Adderall helped me do a lot of work I might not have been able to do wi

Well, it seems strange to me. The article you link seems to suggest "huh" might be a universal word, but in the details, they show that it's pronounced differently all over the place. For example, it tends to be closer to &qu

I love this kind of quiet, careful, deliberate explanation. To me it seems as if this style is being extinguished by fast cuts and other video tricks that our eyes find hard to resist. :(

Wow. I'm completely floored at how deep this person got into the world of phones. I was also obsessed with phones for a while, and consider my ears my favored input channel, but I didn't take 10 steps to this guy's marathon.

Hi, I'm glad I saw your post. I nearly got expelled from high school and ended up dropping out. When I went to college, I had no idea how to study, and I spent so much time writing code for my own private projects that I had almost no

I'd either let them know in a straightforward way (email or use contact form to ask how to report a security issue), or not let them know, but I wouldn't try to let them know while hiding my identity. Too much could go wrong. Who

Specifically considering race in hiring decisions, however well-intentioned, is racism. We won't get to where we want to be by skillfully and fairly applying racism -- we'll get there by not caring about race . I grew up in a rur

I hope this way of using the word "denial" can someday be eradicated. It means that somebody else is not convinced by the evidence that you (and maybe a great many other people) find convincing, nothing more. It makes as much sens

Lately I noticed that Ruby and Java both permit underscore in numeric literals. As to why it wasn't there before, or why it isn't available everywhere, I'm not sure, but I suspect the answer is basically lexing/parsing d

Isn't that around the normal compression ratio you find with academic papers? I almost always find them extremely verbose.

Listen, I really know where you're coming from. I have like 20 really absurd domain names that I don't want to explain to anybody. The genius ideas just never seem quite as good once the adderall wears off. :(

I've struggled a lot with Mandarin pronunciation. I think the difficulty is mostly due to Chinese speakers being sensitive to differences between some sounds that English speakers lump together. For example, most English speakers would

I can't say how deeply sad it makes me that we have this perception about creating languages -- that it's something you do if you want to have silly wacky fun in your fantasy book or movie. It's like it was before the creatio

I'm determined to learn Mandarin. So far, I've spent two years in China learning it. It's not because of any social pressure, or because it helps me in my "career", or because I'm pedantic, and I graduated coll

I wish people could make requests for supporting information like the grandparent post did without getting this kind of snarky reply. Sometimes questions are just questions, not attacks.
