Health hacks. Supplements, nootropics, MCT oil, sleep aids, HRV training equipment, meditation software--whatever I find works. $1200 USD more than covers my annual health needs for regular upkeep beyond food and exercise, but I would spend

I'm (barely) 5' 11", and I hover around 175 lbs. through diet, alone. Many years ago, my highest weight was 265 lbs. I dealt with my back occasionally "going out" entirely for years, to the point where I couldn&#x27

Pick up a copy of George Dyson's Turing's Cathedral , and you may be left wondering whether this notion even makes sense. Before even Babbage, Leibniz was obsessed with developing a notation for a universal language that could be

I commiserate. Unfortunately, this is a daily struggle for some, particularly in networking. The world's largest vendor of network appliances, Cisco, has the worst problem with unauthorized equipment I've ever seen. Even the US fe

detaro is correct. The manufacturer and the authorized reseller are the only entities with skin in the game. The manufacturer has cause to protect their brand, and the authorized reseller probably prefers to remain authorized. Because only

Thanks for the article. This was a really nice discussion of life as computation. That said, I disagree with Conjecture 2 on the basis that no independent storage was ever indicated for any class 4 behavior in A New Kind of Science , and &

I suspect you may be unaware of the ease with which people can be identified by text, alone. Here's a Python library: https://github.com/jpotts18/stylometry . Of course, this doesn't account for keywords that

The Rushline frontpage animation suggests anonymization involves dropping avatars and replacing names, but this actually does very little to ensure anonymity. Everything from geographic hints and topic involvement to word choice and punctua

I've yet to see what I would consider a satisfactory introduction to networking. Perhaps others will be able to make recommendations for sources they found useful. Nevertheless, I can make recommendations on where to focus in case your

In mathematics, abstraction is little more than substitution. This is what Wittgenstein was referring to when he said all logical propositions are tautologies--that all abstract notions can be reduced to compound statements containing what

That's called "lurking," and I consider it the correct default position in discussions of any sort--especially threaded ones. But you needn't lurk forever, and if you have something to add that isn't redundant or va

Do you know the definition of "business logic," of "service object?" I don't. I can't fathom any of my peers would legitimately claim to either. The definitions of such terms are "fuzzy," in the sense

I think the only thing you "must" do to not squander the opportunity is be passionate, which implies following your interests. Anything you can latch on to in your studies will help you make progress. As for your secondary work, u

Many of us are training our bodies to prefer the quick fix of chemicals that come from clicking our way to enjoyment, and this can carry over into even our most cherished endeavors. No one will be able to prescribe a single solution for lis

When working with a low-level cryptography API for the first time, you can easily miss a step and subsequently mistake ciphertext for plaintext. Unless the length or contents of the result fails to match your expectations, you'll have

My two cents: get away from code awhile. Read a book on a mildy intriguing subject that seems completely orthogonal to your other work. Take up a new hobby for one week. Travel. Looking for more "exciting" work is a recipe for mon

Lean Startup had some great stories about beating the pavement and providing services by hand. Perhaps there's some corresponding jargon to be had in there.
