This is not to sound contrarian, but I genuinely believe and have had the exact opposite experience to everything you describe. Method 1 is preferred for me, because it's actually going out there and "doing it". It makes me f

I think the issue is that I'm incapable of having that relationship with lists. Kind of like how some people can't help themselves with alcohol, and others are totally fine with it.

Thank you, what techniques resonated with you?

by dottjt 3y ago
The thing is, what if you're learning something particularly complex? How do you go about documenting what you need to do, because a simple list like that wouldn't seem to suffice? Maybe my issue is how I go about documentation, a

Interesting, thank you for that. What are your thoughts on documentation separate from the activity itself? Do you see it as something useful, or how do you go about approaching that?

by dottjt 3y ago
I think I get the sentiment of what you're saying, but I'm not sure what it would look in practice. For example, how would that apply to learning a card game like Magic?

That might be so, but are those engineers being worked into the ground to make it happen?

I think this will always be the case as long as there's inequality of any kind in the world. People will do extraordinary things to get themselves into a better position. I mean, just look at the things people are doing to migrate to o

When I think about it, you never see water come in a can. I guess cause people want to see the water.

Isn't the obvious answer here just to require all ships passing through the red sea to equip anti-drone technology? I understand those interceptor missiles are super expensive because they're designed to shoot down everything, but

I had the opposite experience with FL Studio. I think the problem is that there's too many different ways to do the same thing in FL Studio, whereas Ableton Live keeps it pretty simple in terms of workflow. There's no session mode

It's funny, because I went full Bitwig after being dissatisfied with the lack of certain workflow features in Ableton Live (for example, no customisable shortcuts, crappy bounce workflow etc.) ...and while I loved Bitwig, and while Bit

I remember seeing this yesterday when visiting the site. Wasn't sure if it'd always been like this, or if this was recent.

Boredom though, is a very valid feeling. A bored species doesn't get very far, and maybe for us humans, feeling like we're getting somewhere is how we operate. When I think about it, I think that's probably why I've been

His latest documentary on the fall of the soviet union was fascinating, although admittedly very dry and difficult to watch since there was no commentary. I feel that's really only for hardcore Curtis fans, which I'm sure, he know

I don't know if this comment will be found in the sea of great comments in this thread, but I think this article is the answer to Adam Curtis' film Hypernormalisation. The premise is that humans are currently trapped in an endless

I remember I used to fervently read this in the library in high school (~2007). Haven't read it since lol.

My first initial thought to this headline was he actually built a radar for his own curiosity, not because their toddler loves planes.

In theory, but what's happening is that they're all being bought by foreign investment and remaining empty. That's what happens when housing becomes an investment vehicle.

Problem is that apartment quality in Australia is beyond bad. We have quite a lot of apartments, but no one wants to live in them for that reason. But yeah, if they were better quality I imagine people would move into them.

I live in Melbourne and I remember when I was working at a web agency, one of our clients was some kind of building supplier. They were originally from Ireland, and one of the things they were complaining about was how Australian tradies ar

Melbourne has more letters in it's name. That's a clear win right there.

Sydney CBD is notorious for it's terrible roads. Unlike Melbourne which has a perfectly rectangle CBD. Yes, it's a rivalry.

I find that tedious. Mainly because it's really easy to switch between chrome and firefox via keyboard, but to switch between profiles/containers requires mouse clicks etc.

I'm surprised more people don't use Firefox, even from a practical point of view. The main reason I use it as my main driver is because I use Chrome for all my work stuff. I then use Firefox for all my personal stuff, so it separa

That seems a lot more complicated than just coding it. How would you go about drawing a box shadow on the sliders? What if you wanted a background image behind it? How would the model know that it's a box-shadow, or that the background

How would you go about editing the final product though? Wouldn't you then still need intimate knowledge of the system?
