It's hard to resist to a tech when everyone around you is uing it. It's not impossible, but it is hard. My mum was super anti Facebook when it first came out. Now she has one. I'm not saying you will have an iBrain, but mysel

That being said, you can probably predict for how long the bubble will most definitely not burst. For these green pieces of paper, as long as its easiest to buy oil with them and that people depend on oil for energy, there will be people wi

Evariste Galois always intrigued me. He died aged 20 in a duel supposably for some love story, yet he apparently had "time" to lay the foundations of some pretty serious math. To quote the into from the last chapter of this book w

He says he needs help, he doesn't need everyone telling him how disapointing his entire resume is. He needs people to let him know what they like and dislike about his profile. But that does also include mentioning what is attractive a

Wait, but then the question of "what is good?" arises... What makes someone a "good human being"? And how does this tie in with "having a good life"? Then rises the question of "how do I not get fucked ove

That's true but there are counter examples: For instance, I'm very thankful that my text editor and terminal allow me to split panes within their window rather than through multiple instances handled by the OS. I seem to prefer ha

While I don't find this that impressive. I do find amazing that a quad-core 1.2GHz machine with half a gig of RAM can fit in that tiny package of hardware.

I agree with this so much. However, playing the devil's advocate, I guess it depends on the journalist's background. For instance, a poli-sci major writing about a scientific/tech topic will likely get a lot of things wrong.

Very true. I remember wanting to throw my computer out the window when I had errors relative to this, pass by ref, or when a callback gets called when learning js through react/redux. But I think react is what motivated me to learn js

I don't know what my thoughts on the topic are worth since I haven't opened your book. But from parent, and as someone that does have a decent math background, what might be easiest/most effective could be a simple math appen

Although the web worker version is slower, the fact that it doesn't block UI is a huge gain. I tried to see if I could make the bubble sort function async as to not block the browser UI using callbacks as opposed to workers. Here'

Remaping caps lock to ctrl changed my life on vim (amongst other things). I didn't know about C-[ though, i've been using C-c which is also an <Esc> equivalent by default. On MacOS anyway.

No, but there's a book called "Pro Git" by Scott Chacon and Ben Straub that popped up on HN not too long ago. It does explain git on the lower level without going into the git source code. This book is over 500 pages, but cha
