Let people be people for god sake. If people saying hello on a chat pisses you off, take it as a sign that you need a vacation. I bet when you're back from 2 weeks in the Bahamas, when someone pings you with an empty "hello",

Playing sudoku is not fun at all, it’s Lumon-level shit work. Yet people definitely procrastinate on it.

Okay why not… One part that is not addressed is procrastination because of tasks that are scary. I think I have fairly low levels of anxiety in general, but there are things I know I need to do but I’d just rather ignore them because they s

First I’d answer the question: should there be any gas stations at all? With self driving vehicles you could imagine a future where self driving gas dispensing trucks roam the highways to refill cars as they go. Or instead of trucks you cou

You could argue that photography didn’t kill all painting or that Ikea didn’t kill all manual woodworking. But photography created a lot more images and ikea allowed people to own a lot more furniture. If we draw a parallel, it means that w

Reminds me of Typing of the dead, a great video game where people walk around with keyboards strapped to their chests and kill zombies by typing words.

As an engineer you might also create your very own punch-card programmable Jacquard loom. It kind of defeats the meditation thing though :-)

Boilerplate is a cinch when you already know what to do. I work in finance, I have for almost 20 years now. There are things in finance you do once every 5 years, like setting up a data source like Bloomberg in a new programming language. N

Yeah, and it’s progressing so fast. Singularity is definitely on the table. Whoever says otherwise should read their own comments from 2 years ago and see how wrong they were about where AI is today. Not saying singularity will happen for s

Well, once every 10 breaths on average. But on the other 9 breaths, you get to breath quite a lot of his other farts... So... your breath is really never Caesar-fart-free. But as a consolation, most of humanity will breath your farts on eve

I won't find the post, but the advice I read here that worked for me was something like : "If you want to do a project and are scared of the size, just start and see how far you can go". This really lifted the pressure off. I

Well well well. The donut vs donut hole debate is a trap, though, that even the most brilliant breakfast-savvy mathematician fall into. Truth is, the original flat flakes had infinitely more glaze than either the donut hole or the donut, ma

The two things that suck are: 1. The illusion of intimacy 2. The illusion of ephemerality People think they chat to a small number of people, and people think that it's going to go away at some point. So they think they're in a pr

People should realize when what they write is public though. The world retreating into private group chats is not a bad thing.

Bit of feedback: I've learned Japanese a while back but haven't practised in a long time. 1. it would be awesome if this could transcript what I just said in japanese to be sure that it got me 2. I don't know kanjis that well

Idk, I've seen 40-year-old Ikea cabinets being totally fine (in France). Nowadays, the trend is that people buy the cabinet frames from Ikea, and then buy the doors, handles, and bottom support from someone else who makes more durable
