I think WFH will be very different when there isn’t a global pandemic going on. You can have more working environment flexibility with public or coworking spaces and it will be much easier to have a more social life. In between jobs, I enjo

My guess is that most politicians don't come from STEM backgrounds, mostly law or public policy so they don't see the inherit value in it.

The main advantage of "coding without code" that I could see is not dealing with the server and software configuration issues that come up when you code. This can range anywhere from: - Updating the server the software's host

This is one of the best online learning experiences I've ever had. I went through it twice and never felt uncomfortable with regular expressions afterwards. The author also does this for SQL, which I haven't tried: https:/&#

I'm not sure about CL lectures in general. In regards to applying CL to SICP, I would argue that the course is more about the underlying concepts than the language itself. You could probably read a CL reference and write your exercise

I tried to go through SICP and stopped short at Chapter 2. This time around, I used Brian Harvey's CS61A lectures and I'm almost done. He does a good job teaching you the book as well as the content in the book if that makes sense

I purchased a souped-up Eluktronics MAG-15 recently to try out VR and I'm really amazed by how subpar Windows is compared to Linux and MacOS even with top of the line hardware. I found out that I can update a lot of components of my ea

I'd recommend starting with Alternate Nostril breathing and Bhastrika. Each exercise takes about 5 minutes each. For both exercises, try them with the eyes open until you can do it with eyes closed. Then follow the routine. Alternate N

I've been doing breathing exercises regularly for the past 8 years. Complete game changer for emotional regulation. I've also organized and taught it in schools, prisons, offices, etc. on a volunteer basis. I like it because it&#x

Gotcha thanks. I also found r/medicine. Lots of doctors and ER professionals weighing in on the news with personal experience from their hospitals.

Is there a resource for up-to-date reviewed papers on COVID? Like a Reddit group with community members from relevant backgrounds or something? Because it gets hard for me to keep up on what’s bs or factual, and many people pushing articles

Ideally it would be a solid hedge against the government going nowhere with improving the cost of healthcare. If it makes people get checked up more often, it could reduce overall healthcare costs because more issues get caught early. Combi

Regexone ( https://regexone.com/ ) is one of the best online tutorials I’ve come across for anything. I got a decent grasp of Regex after going through the series 1-2 times.

We’re moving from getting services for free that are taking all of our data to paying for services that are taking all of our data. It’s honestly ridiculous and only government intervention will prevent this from getting out of hand.

With 1. good audio compression and selective removal of empty data with time stamps 2. Speech recognition algorithms that convert recorded data to text content you could hold a non-trivial amount of data in cold storage.

I wish larger tech companies would follow Jack Dorsey's path and have more open communication about their policies. His debate with Tim Pool on the Joe Rogan podcast[0] especially provided insight into why they're making these typ

At least in America, endurance sports are terribly overpriced. I lived in Japan for two years and entered 6 half-marathons as an English teacher on small salary. Each race for $40-50 and came with a free t-shirt promoting the town the event
