Reminds me that anecdote, not sure who it was, he was wondering where are the Caesars or the Hitlers of our time, all that brand of ambitious, manipulative and dominant personalities. The answer, he found, was that nowadays those people are

Well, not your fault, most of the resources out there are just made to make a buck, or a click, it's pretty much hopeless nowadays. What I do usually is I try to find used books, they're cheap and often better. Doesn't work f

exercise, a lot of walk in parks, daily and also when feeling in "hell" during the day, and also developing a spirituality, very important to find a way to deal with the bigger questions...

Thinkpad E560 owner here, bought it a couple of years ago for less than $500 on newegg, installed ubuntu on it and that's it. Dropped it a few times, and work like 8-10 hours a day on it, never had any issue. Solid.

Pain is also linked to fear, so more mindfulness, less fear and less pain. Some people, while physically training can inflict extreme pains on their bodies, but without any fear whatsoever, so they're ok, even enjoying it for some, &qu

As you said, the first level is the language syntax, var, control flow etc. Second level, data structures, list and list comprehension, dictionaries etc. Third level, recursion and algorithms, or how to solve problems in python, what you&

Looks very interesting, any known drawback, maturity, package available, anything?

Yes, I've read it breifly, it's a good description but I always prefer human feedback, with languages, the devil is in the details :)

What is the language lineage? Is it functional or imperative? Dynamic or statically typed? Garbage collected or not? I wish every introduction to a new language would contain that kind of info, it'd be so much more informative. Edit: m

Of course you should, you're gonna live a good additional 50 years, do you want to spend them doing something you don't like? Python is good language to start, concentrate on that first and keep js for later, it's a complex l

The whole streaming industry is a joke. It's like fast food for the brain, and I include HBO in it. Where are the documentaries, where are the interviews, there are so many good stuff to watch out there, why the only thing available on

The drama is the blog post, the length, the minute details of everything, like if it was so big, so important. It's just a guy who said a stupid joke. If you feel so strongly, confront him for real, not with a bland "it's a p

Not sure where you're going with that, but anyway. If someone is an ass, confront him, don't quit and go whining on your blog trying to look good, is all I'm saying.

There's standing up for your value and there's drama. This is drama. This is "look at how good I am". You stand up for your values by going to the guy and tell him "you're an asshole for joking about that, and

From virtue signaling to virtue resigning. I wonder what's the next step, virtue self-immolation? Let's keep giving berth to that kind of sensitivity in the work place and very soon, all the people will be exactly the same, bland,

To me it's a mystery how one can sustain an effort for so long and not losing faith along the way and throw everything through the window... I know it's tenacity that wins the race in the end, but still, it's always impressiv
