thank you! I remember I did a quick google search but I couldn't find anything and gave up, just used gnome-terminal for that task and didn't bother investigating further. Thankfully I don't generally work with text files tha

He doesn't have the personality necessary to be mainstream like Rogan. Rogan is to podcasts what pop singers are to music. Lex is like a fledgeling indie band, he will carve his niche but that's pretty much it. Mainstream audience

To all those down-voting, I'm sorry but am I to believe n=20 studies when there's a huge replication crisis or hundreds of people who took the risk, tested it on their own and reported on it? I'm not saying studies are useles

Considering micro-dosing either helps you or at worst it has no bad effects I don't see why you wouldn't try it if you had access to it and the legal aspect didn't hinder you. Personally and subjectively it did help me, I was

I don't agree with the 10k hours bullshit popularized by Gladwell, google a bit about him and you will see he admitted that all his "non-fiction" books were actually insight porn more than teaching you anything useful. I like

I don't think you've understood the article or you do not have the problems the author is having. Disciplining myself is in a way like dealing with a child. If I force my inner child to do something it will resist, shut down, burn
