Not sure what I was expecting. It gave me back the first line of the abstract as response. (For anyone wondering, the paper I tried was: "A Heterarchy of values determined by the topology of nervous nets" by Warren S. McCulloch.)

Have you by chance tried learning more analytical things like algorithms/mathematical ideas using SRS? I have been trying to automate my interview preparation process using SRS, but it is just mind-blowingly difficult to cardify these

Why would you want to talk about how each individual is multi-faceted, complex, and full of contradictory beliefs when you can conveniently categorize them into conventional and independent? Ah, I know the answer: because hackers come in on

I am genuinely curious to know more about this. Some of these companies dedicate multiple teams towards an OSS project, which I’ve seen first hand with projects like llvm. So isn’t it possible that the involvement of these companies could a

Great thing but I feel these companies are just too clever for Rust. Rust is a developer’s delight and I don’t want it to become like C++, and I feel the C++ standard got worse especially after these so-called great companies became a part

The best way to be safe is to fail loud and clear, and definitely do not surprise your users who only use the api and don’t actually read the source code or how it is implemented.

To the west India is nothing but a cheap labor centre that is here for the service of the west with its thick accent and bad tech support. It’s difficult to change it, and you see it even persist in popular culture with the likes of Tim Fer

There is an underlying assumption here. You seem to be running with the theme of making the review process more objective without considering the psychological aspects of being a human. As much as an employee’s productivity depends on how t

This is not meant as a denigratory remark, but I feel this will make mine and many others' life even more miserable than what it already is. People like poking around, especially if you are a manager who manages (only) people, please d

It is indeed a way to overcome the "well known psychological phenomenon", and also I wouldn't call reading or playing piano as non-instinctive or for that matter a "utopian enlightened state". My retort was more tow

Did you note that the OP said it is a well known psychological phenomenon and not some utopian enlightened state that most of us can only aspire to attain? And fwiw, Schopenhauer knew about Buddhism very well and talks about it in length in

That is a category mistake, we need a better word for creating a niche, and it should definitely not be called competition. If we start looking at it that way then literally everything can be framed as competition. I mean you can reframe th

Remember, it doesn't matter if you've survived 100 Chernobyls, 50 Tsunamis or 20 Covids, all it takes is one bad one to wipe you out of the gene pool(kill). The worse is called worse precisely because it did not happen until then.
