For me personally that's a con. Not specifically being caught off guard when the book ends, but not being able to physically tell how far along I am. I am currently reading "the way of kings" which is a very thick book. My pr

I am a math major and I am learning GR by myself right now. For GR, you need tensors (among many other things), and as a result I have gone through SEVERAL tutorials, books, videos etc. There is ONE main thing I find lacking in all of these

As I was reading the summary, I was thinking "well, of course -- that makes sense. Any teaching curriculum has got to be like that so what is so special about Russian math curriculum?". Then I read in other comments about US math

There are HUNDREDS (not an exaggeration) of Mac OS shortcuts out there. Take a look at this video. This guy is awesome. Check out his other Mac OS tips videos as well and you are very likely to find what you are looking for and then some. E

Same!! I watched his TED talk on David and Goliath story and I thought he was interesting. Then I picked up Blink. 25 pages in, I realized he was full of shit.

People have already mentioned various reasons why owning a car is personal. So this means there is more incentive for companies to build cars -- more profit to be made. Public transport on the other hand, is a massive undertaking which invo

I just grew up hating alcohol by looking at grown ups acting stupid and mistreating their wives and children. That's why I never developed a taste for alcohol. I sometimes drink socially but that is very rare: 3-4 times a year, 1 or 2

I think it’s a valid question. I am wondering if microplastic is a factor in addition to air and water pollution, processed/pre-packaged food. Another factor maybe humankind beating/cancelling natural selection due to modern medic

I have the exact same opinion about Gladwell. One day on a flight I started reading his “Blink” when 1/4th of the way I realized he is full of crap. The realization came after I started noticing a pattern: that he would give an anecdot

Maybe but maybe not. Like the parent comment said, it’s a way of thinking out loud. For e.g., when someone says “just dig it out, it just pull it away...”, I give them a benefit of doubt by assuming what they are really saying is “I know it

It takes time. I have been developing software for more than a decade now and I am still learning a lot of things that seem to be basic. Your knowledge and experience will increase linearly. Mac would definitely be my choice.

“ But the United States is simply not made for people who pee.” That’s in the 4th or 5th paragraph. That’s the human anatomy the title is referring to.

Wow this is quite a well organized tutorial. Seems self contained since it contains definitions, explanation and examples. Thanks for sharing this!
