Item #2 relates to reflecting on your work, Reflective Practice. Give Donald Schon's book The Reflective Practitioner a read (or heck, the Wiki page). It deals with being able to rise above work and improve how you work.

Just search "rimworld mods" and you'll find lots of people talking about which to use. Most are quality of life improvements.

Love those games too. Rimworld is the latest in my opinion. All the fun of Factorio and Dwarf Fortress plus a fairly good UI and space faring feel. Wasted/played too many hours. Make sure to use mods too. On steam.

If you’re going to study something, study it where you can best measure it. Develop your tools and methods. Create theories on this and apply them to new, more difficult domains... hopefully get feedback and insights from the larger communi

Cameras can be used ethically in public and semi-public areas. While I don't know if we have official/specific guidelines in the US, I'm sure with a little effort we could create some that would allow for their very effective

I wonder how far away we are for this being automated? I'm sure it could be done now, but accuracy, especially for more dense and difficult books, would be lacking.

Evidence shows getting involved has little impact. Only money. This quip we always talk about is not true when you analyze the data. You’re going to hear more and more about this in the coming years: https://scholar.princeton.edu

I love the idea, but many of the intrinsic rewards for technologists in tech, don’t exist in politics. Many issues can be solved fairly easily if we calm down, take a look at experiences and data, and apply solutions that have been shown ef

Agreed. I came for rational but saw none. There seems to be a lot of hate for Docker I don’t understand. Is it community management? Is it some esoteric tech concern? Can someone more knowledgeable pipe in?

I'd love to see how expressive they are. Many times, these kits are really good at building exactly what's in the directions, and not much else. Would love to see some blogger or other independent to get a kit and play around. Con

This guy. Fun at parties. ;) A good point but most would think of the two the same. I know I had a hard time getting some ideas across on some research I was doing until I separated these two concepts out. Then people started to understand.

The author of this needs to write a few more on other topics. The succinctness and simplicity (i.e. minimum bits) is a nice change from so many documentation sites. Can Amazon get him to rewrite their documentation?

This is so simple to set up and completely removes random attacks. If your jump server/bastion host is attacked... take notice.

If you want to protect your secrets, you should patent them so when someone figures out your secret, or in this case your creative idea, you have a leg to stand on. Otherwise, they figure out your secret or idea and you have nothing. This i

I think people should know how stark the differences for assembly in the US are vs outside of it. Something that costs, at low prototype volumes mind you, $20 in China for a dozen boards or so, would run hundreds of dollars in the US and st

It doesn't. They claimed that so they could enact the tariffs, otherwise it would be a WTO illegal tariff. I think Canada/others are arguing that it is not a security risk and therefore is indeed an illegal tariff. This is what I

Again, this. When you publish work on the Internet, others can link and use it, no problem. For best results, have clear attribution (which they clearly show the link). I think people are too quick to anger here. This guy was already provid

Most of that land out West is too dry for many trees. There are some really interesting experiments for improving scrub plant growth using wavy rollers (water collects at bottom of rippled soil), but the fuel to plow that much land would pr

I think this is an important comment. I used to be a late night worker but family and other commitments has made that impossible. I wake at 5AM to get a few solid hours of brain work in before the family stirs. This has been the best approa

I remember an interview where Asimov had a fan tell him all the interesting parts of his stories were glossed over. And it's true for action scenes. He always does all the backstory and intrigue, then the action starts and he tends to

Just clarifying your comment for others: Your ISP would still see the IPs of the sites your packets visit unless you are using an encrypted VPN connection. The DNS-over-HTTPS is a great addition to a VPN. (the VPN comment was several levels

I'm not sure who's going to beat Docker. Docker is central to most orchestration tools so as long as they make money someplace with their central services, they should be fine.

Completely agree. You need to be careful about capacitors. Generally, a YouTube video will warn you about a part/product you need to look out for. I replaced the run capacitor on my central air unit for $10 and saved hundreds of dollar

The problem with molecular modeling/ protein folding algorithms is that each molecule interacts with every other molecule. So, you have an n^2 problem. Sure, hueristics get this way down to nlogn but what fundamentally slows it is not
