This is what I needed when I was writing my undergrad thesis. Would have saved me hours of time. Alas.

I have been looking at notebooks for so long that when I finally scrolled to Jupiter, I thought, "That's misspelled".

These are all good points but they feel very insensitive in tone given that OP has shared something personal; I'm not sure if you realise what you're doing

Hm. I didn't get identified as gifted until eighth grade and I don't think about it very hard these days. I still struggled to make friends after I was placed in a gifted program, and in hindsight wasn't being challenged in m

This is a lot to cover if it's a one year course (unsurprisingly). I struggled with P/NP and that was in a 3rd year algorithms course.

Awesome! I had quite the experience setting up a react app workflow with a friend. If you don't get your versions of tools to all line up or you use a tool which is slightly unconventional, or sometimes if you're developing on not

Thanks, hacker news! Maybe now I can stop buying all of my clothes from Uniqlo! Edit: who am i kidding

I notice that I intentionally try to avoid portraying myself as "smart" these days because it frees me from having to work to prove it externally. I've also started working on hobbies that others don't consider meaningfu

I am probably somewhere on the spectrum. I am probably also going to avoid actively going out and getting myself diagnosed, since as this article suggests, public and professional perception is such that it is extremely difficult to get som

I have been making marked improvements in how I view myself and in how I talk with people. I wouldn't say I'm 100% there yet since I still relapse into less-healthy habits, like binge-watching tv or browsing HN or reddit instead o

I was going to ask, this sounds overly dismissive, but then I read your last paragraph. Also I know SciRep is fairly new but isn't it still under the Nature umbrella? ie. There's still some peer review; the study is likely to be l

Ha, I do almost all my work on a 14' laptop. Plugging it into a spare monitor is just too much of a hassle, and I've grown used to the screen economy. The way I get around such a small screen size is to have multiple workspaces op

I think learning how to build habits is underrated. I'm naturally very curious but I also tend to be impatient and easily discouraged, so in the past I've hopped from project to project without really ever finishing anything. Rece

This debate is exhausting. I agree with some previous posters that women may be more favoured by formal systems now, while men remain more favoured by informal systems. I think that part of the issue is that there are more ways to be male a

Ask HN: What tools do you use to familiarize yourself with a new codebase?
