At least read the first chapter. I've never read anything like it (and I've read a lot). It was an experience more than anything. It became abundantly clear to me that I was reading something could only have been written by a true

Everybody has already mentioned most of the best books I've read, so I'll mention one that I haven't seen on this thread yet - The Little Schemer. Unless you're actively working through a bunch of problems/examples,

I've always wondered this as well. In one case, math literacy among the Inuits actually went up significantly when they allowed them to start using their native base 20 system school[1]. Although, they also designed a new system of ico

Yes. I think people would be a lot better at arithmetic if we had a larger base or, more importantly, iconic numerals so that arithmetic can be done visually as in Mayan numerals or Kaktovik numerals[1] (both base 20). 1: https:/&#x2

Keyboards with thumb clusters are definitely the best option, but in my experience, even on a normal keyboard, simply remapping your keys makes a world of difference. Here are some of my most useful remaps: - Swap enter and semicolon. Ente

Or we could adopt a number system that has actual, proven arithmetic benefits. See the Kaktovik numerals ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaktovik_numerals ). As a bonus the numerals are all one single stroke, so it&#x27

You can have medical research without charging $1000 for an ambulance ride, $10k - $20k for having a child, $100,000 for staying in the hospital a few days. Those are the things I'm talking about.

Europe's doing a pretty good job at limiting hill making, while still having plenty of hills for healthy competition.

Which is great until those hills directly or indirectly affect people's health. Healthcare should not be a hill. Prisons should not be a hill. Politics should not be a hill.

I think they're being downvoted for the meth comment. I agree with everything OP and you said, but the meth example is a bit hyperbolic - the downsides to meth consumption would surely be felt much sooner than any theoretical downside

FWIW, the OP was talking about subaddressing, not catch-all addresses.

by dempedempe 4y ago
Well, subaddressing is actually part of an RFC [1], so no, they won't. 1: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5233

I think this is useful for any service, not just throwaway accounts or "low value" services. It provides another layer of anonymity, and makes credential stuffing impossible as a hacker would have no idea that two auto-generated

That's interesting. I guess the two are coming from very different places. Gibson comes from a place of rebellion. The current fascination with cyberpunk comes from a place of nostalgia.

This article is good, but not great - the author only gives one example of how quantitative-only reasoning can be bad (the example of the poppies). The other "example" is just the US military lying. There are also no specific exam

A higher-order function is a function that takes a function as an argument which doesn't have anything to do with the discussion at hand. But you are right that it is higher level in that it abstracts away the logic behind GROUP BY. I

How did you use a memory palace to memorize 2,000 kanji and Japanese. I thought memory palaces were only good for remembering things in sequence, but I don't see how that fits with language or kanji.

I had my QC 35IIs stolen when I forgot them in a Sixt rental. I decided to get some Airpods as a replacement as most reviews I found online said they were comparable. God, I miss my QC 35IIs...

I think that's the point. God told the Romans that there's no power or wealth left and they said "fuck it" and took it anyways (and God allowed).
