Same here, actually 2022 was my "year of focus" but that didn't work out really well until the final months so I'm trying again. I think learning how to focus and work more hours without distractions is far more importan

The problem is when housing prices are at an all time high and it's almost impossible to find somewhere to rent, even with money in your pocket, because the landlord decided it's much more profitable to do weekly air-bnbs to touri

I wondered if the Greg Egan he named provided a comment on the integral was THE Greg Egan (author of Permutation City) and following the comment indeed he was!

I don't think React classifies as "cool" anymore, it's been in the game for many years and has become sort of de-facto for frontend development. Everyone does React because everyone else is already doing React; both from

I'm very interested in The Song of the Cell, thanks, I love books like that and I tried to read The Emperor of All Maladies and I enjoyed the writing but I just couldn't keep reading, Cancer and terminal illnesses just terrify me,

Do you have more information on this approach? Sounds very interesting. I've read and toyed a little with things like Lean and I'm interested in that field but the barrier seems a bit high (without pre-existing knowledge) to just

> mathematics is orders of magnitude more intensive and difficult than most programming But what level of programming and mathematics are you comparing here though? because college-level algebra and calculus is really not that hard imho

Not much: Hacker News, Lobsters, maybe Tildes, well and obviously Youtube, Twitter and Instagram but I don't count those as "websites" anymore really. Ten years ago I'd have a fairly large list of forums, blogs, websites

Okay so I've been struggling with focus and sitting down to study for a while now and I'm starting to get into the right track again, here is more or less what I did, it's nothing groundbreaking but it seems to be working for

Funny that for me it works exactly the opposite; I'm subscribed to a lot of channels that upload many videos that don't interest me, however youtube's algorithm is pretty spot-on with videos that I will be very interested in

There is a picture of Argentina's goalkeeper kneeling next to Mbappe to comfort him, but that didn't get shared as much, the gesture with the prize is just a signature gesture of him and not aimed towards anyone in particular, sur

Tangential question; but I just found out about gwern's page and I'm amazed at the amount of content and a lot of it looks very interesting, does anyone know any more personal websites similar to this one? I'm sure there were

Curious at why are you using DRF with HTMX; isn't DRF more common when you need to return JSON for example and render in the frontend? Wouldn't returning Django templates to use with HTMX be the best option? Or is it for POST requ

I ponder about this as well but I wonder if it's not simply that these things felt more magical just because well... I was a kid back then, I can't expect to get the same level of wonder from a videogame nowadays.

I want to train willpower and overall organization. Going at least 3/4 times to the gym a week, studying every day, waking up at a reasonable time, keeping everything clean and eating well. I don't care if I actually manage to get

Do dating sites really use clever algorithms to match up people together? I was under the impression that, the less likely you are to meet your perfect match, the more you're going to use the app. In my experience I don't see a re

Everyone here saying that the alternative to Twitter is just not using social media at all because it's toxic and useless... have you considered that maybe you're just using it wrong or following the wrong people? Why is my experi

I'd love to get into low level programming, game development or somewhere where C++ has to be used (I'd rather use another language probably but not gonna get picky); however, in my experience (and this might differ vastly since I

Usually games or hobbies that feel like a job are much more fun because there's nothing wrong happening if you fail at it, or if one day you decide not to show up.

I enjoy KDE more than Gnome nowadays but it's far from being more minimalistic; it has way too much options, applications, dropdowns, buttons, etc. compared to Gnome and pretty much any other DE. It DOES run great though, but I think t

I learnt VueJS (Vue2), Vuetify (It's an UI lib with tons of components that plays nice with Vue) and some CSS in the job; and I'd absolutely use it again if I have to. You get stuff done pretty quickly with that and after the firs

Sadly this is shifting; at least in my country most companies are moving away from Rails/Django/Laravel towards Typescript and NodeJS for the sake of "scalability" and sharing language with the frontend.

OP might not be in USA; here in my country Blockchain jobs are usually remote for US/Europe and paid in USD/Crypto and thus more paired with 1st world country salaries, instead of local currency with local salaries.

Thanks for the warning; I was about to ask this. I can handle scary novels or comics no problem but jumpscares... I'll think about it.

The problem is that with many projects it's almost impossible to do a frankestein version or even something barely usable in 2-3 hours, specially if you are learning the technology. Things like even making a simple game like Tetris can
