Some comments here: "I'm at age XX, thought about quitting, but now am rediscovering fun in programming". Go is a good fit here. I discovered Go around 10 years ago, and it was a point in my career where I was fed up with the

Good point, but this would apply to ongoing debate. In this case person jumped in into conversation with the premise "I don't have time to listen to arguments but here's mine opinion". The thing is, all the theories of c

For those who are downvoting. This was an extreme example of a debate not worth having. There is no better way to show that you don't care about truth and only care about defending your current opinion than to say "I don't kn

MHBKD recently made a video on Apple testing lab [1], and one thing he talked about and that was kinda new to me is seeing repairability as a spectrum. I.e. on one side is "indestructible" product and on the other is "perfect

Thank you! I study SDT (Self-Determination Theory, the main theory of motivation authored by Deci) in a sports coaching context for a few years now. It's a life-changing theory. The "seminal" books like Self-Determination The

How to understand this quote? I've recently started seeing bureaucratic organisations as a simple one-/few-cellular organisms. I.e. one person is smart and intelligent with 90 billion neurones contributing to its behaviour, but bu

Yes, the core idea here is that our perceptual system wasn't evolutionarily designed to just scan the world around us and reconstruct it inside our heads. It evolved to keep us in contact with action-relevant properties of the world we

Great points! I've seen a couple of papers on CLA for music learning, but CLA is a subset of so-called "non-linear pedagogy", so maybe music education has its own "branch" of it, so to speak. > I held the belief

There is a new shift in the understanding of coaching in sports called the Constraints-Led Approach (CLA). It's both super nerdy and practical (i.e., based on practitioners' empiric experience). Basically, it sees the body as a co

Try Onyx Boox Tab X. I found it to be the only viable option now and it's really good. They did some own stuff to have "ultrafast" refresh rate (you can choose desirable tradoff some ghosting for refresh rate). Stylus and not

I don't have concrete evidence, but in a ranking of destroyed musical instruments, guitars would likely be the clear leader.

It was very painful to see musical instruments and cameras/lenses destroyed. These things are so dear to many creative people that it feels like watching someone's arm being cut off. No matter how cool the camerawork is, it just s

I ordered Onyx Boox Tab X – seems to be the only real option out there. It has Android, so it's possible to use your favorite reader/app on it (I'm using ReadCube Papers). Can't wait to try it.

Great article! I've posted it in other comments before, but it's worth repeating: The best explanation I've seen is in the book "The Secret Life of Programs" by Jonathan E. Steinhart. I'll quote that paragraph
