I have a kinesis freestyle. Really like how I can move the parts around depending on what feels more comfortable at the moment. However, I haven't gone down the layout rabbit hole yet. Are dvorak, colemak, etc also useful when writing

There's an app called Stoico that has Epictetus's Enchiridion, Discourses, as well as Marcus's Meditations and Seneca's letters. Basically all of the Stoics' writings that have survived to our age. Highly recommende

The graph in the article really looks like as if value generation simply got decoupled from minimum age earners' labour at some point. Intuitively this makes sense. Sure, the invention of steam engine driven factories or something like

To me the best explanation of an Application Programming Interface (spelling it out on purpose) is really the comparison with industrial machinery. It's really the switches, knobs and levers of a machine that you use to make it do some

I for one dreamed of becoming an astronaut and spending some time on the Moon. I still do.

That's a bit of a strawman though. My initial premise was that learning on the side something orthogonal to what you use daily is beneficial to ones capabilities in general. Orthogonal being key here.

There's an important detail omitted in the article though. Netflix also has a 'no brilliant jerk' policy. So, they effectively filter for brilliant people who can also serve as multipliers to their respective teams. And then

Does Volvo and Volkswagen (Group) count as traditional car makers? Both of these have defined EVs as a significant part of their strategy with many models in the pipeline.

I once told a JavaScript guru colleague of mine that I was spending my free time dabbling in Haskell. His response was 'lol, why would you do that?'. His point was that spending time learning things that you're not going to b

Very nice! Thank you for breaking it down in such a succinct and straight to the point way, this is definitely something to bookmark.

It seems that the less there is something that can break in a disaster response situation, the better.

This resonates a lot. One of the greatest realizations I've had is that there really is no other time than the present. The future never is , neither the past, it's only the present. So, if all we have and can interact with tim

Well, the article mentions his Patreon, as well as features a GitHub Sponsors button at the end of it.

Respectfully, there is a reason why one must have a license to practice medicine. It's simply too easy to kill people inadvertently. I guess that's fine if the unlicensed doctor is the only patient. But then, I do agree that a lic

Better tech would be nice to have, but the most important part in my opinion is the paradigm shift itself. Medical institutions do offer comprehensive check-ups for healthy individuals already. It's just that not many healthy individua

Thanks! I had actually read that paper. Apparently not attentively enough.

We really need to change the whole medicine paradigm from checking when something is wrong and trying to fix that to doing comprehensive checks regularly and adjusting the necessary supplementation and preventive treatments upfront. I think

So... That's 'Hyperloop 1978'? I wonder if Musk happened to read this, or if he rediscovered the idea.

That's a very good question. Thanks for asking, as it made me think about this more in-depth. The porn thing is apparently just a proxy to a deeper philosophical issue. So, basically, in all likelihood we're just primates with an

Yeah, no idea really. It'd be nice to find out from someone more in the know. Was the internet merely heavily deteriorated instead of shut down completely? I also read that most of the VPNs wouldn't work, with the exception of psi

It was reported that Telegram was the only thing that somewhat kept working when the internet was down country wide. Also, I installed Telegram for the explicit purpose of following the events in Belarus directly from sources. By doing that

That's why I said I can't figure out what I think about that. I mean, on one hand I don't view watching porn as something immoral or whatever. On the other hand, it does seem somewhat sad that anything that can in principle b

I think you've found a very reasonable way how to deal with it using the NSFW toggle. If some subreddits aren't properly marked that's on them. Btw, I think I found a bug. On mobile tapping on 'more subreddits' init

Very nice! I don't know how I feel about the fact that people will for sure use this to browse porn. I mean, I guess it's one of the envisioned use cases given how the NSFW toggle adds a bunch of convenient shortcuts to the top of

I've found two approaches that seem to work quite well, especially when both are exercised. 1. Brainwash yourself. Taking the cookie example this would mean brainwashing yourself about the evils of sugar to the point that you really do

Stalin is known to have deliberately gotten the high ranking party members drunk while staying mostly sober himself exactly for this purpose.
