Haha. I bought my car in San Diego and drove across the country to Florida. I recently did a trip up to NY/VT and back (to FL). I do smaller, random weekend trips. I drove to Jacksonville and back this weekend. I do often drive around

Interesting. Yup, if that was my experience, I would hate driving cars as well. I’m able to drive pretty much on autopilot. Plus, I don’t feel I’m wasting time listening to podcasts/audiobooks because I’m “doing something/headed s

Getting a nice car. I’m prone to depression if I stay in the house too long. Having a nice car means when I roll out of bed in the morning, I’m able to head straight to a nice, comfortable, private, warm space and start listening to meaning

Cool idea. I recommend dis-requiring sign in/log in, so a user can experience some of the tutorials. It asked me to log in, then I just closed out of it.

I left my job a few months ago due to getting depressed from working from home so much. Since then, I’ve been searching for ways to “fill up the day”, as I’m not working for 8 hours anymore. I’ve been searching for some other “anchor” activ

> 56. Sometimes unsolvable questions like “what is my purpose?” and “why should I exist?” lose their force upon lifestyle fixes. In other words, seeing friends regularly and getting enough sleep can go a long way to solving existentialis

I suffered from problem 1. I was able to steamroll my way through calculus II. Then I hit a brick wall in calculus III and came to the harsh realization that I had simply rote memorized everything up to that point. I resolved to actually un

Yeah, top-down programming is useful for understanding recursion, e.g. "wishful thinking". I think Jerry Sussman describes this beautifully in this SICP lecture snippet https://youtu.be/amf5lTZ0UTc?t=3501 "..

Ah, good question. Alt + 2 gets you 2. If you press 2 by itself, then you get tab. A similar thing with 3. If you press 3 and release it, you get 3. If you hold 3 and press another key k, then you get Ctrl+k. This works by using the "t

I, myself, went down a similar rabbit hole years ago. I could probably write a similarly long blog post, detailing all the twists and turns, highs and lows of that period. Reading this was kinda triggering some repressed PTSD from it lol. T

Can you elaborate on your dev support role? Seems like this would be less flexible than a dev role. I’m asking because I’m interested in support roles as well. What’s the company and name of the position?

I’m taking a Japanese class right now. Thinking about wanting to get to the level where I can play video games in Japanese to learn more. I don’t really play video games anymore because I largely find them a waste of time, but it’s an intri

Focusing on integrity, reasonable expectations, decreasing entitlement. Stop being reliant on excitement and emotional highs to get work done. Don’t check email/slack until after lunch. Be intentional of what you do as much as possible

Thanks for sharing. If you enjoyed this, you will probably also enjoy Models by Mark Manson. I’m only 1/3 of the way through, but the topic of focusing on your strengths rather than changing yourself is a theme throughout the book.

Agreed. Money is a step function. You need to make enough to live comfortably. But after that, having good interpersonal traits is everything.

I was scrolling through amazon video rental last night and I was surprised to see an anti-vax documentary in their “highest rated” section. When I clicked “more movies like this”, there were dozens of similar documentaries that came up.

I’m sorry, but being asked this question would make me feel incredibly awkward. It’s a bit too personal of a question to ask a complete stranger IMO. I would rather be asked something a little lighter/superficial that we can find commo

Great post! A few observations. - It seems like the difficulty level ramps up really quickly starting with the "So, what makes the lisp example different?" section. This was jarring enough that I pretty much glossed over it (too m

The oracle is each digit that's tagged to each digit image, which exists (in the case of MNIST) because someone sat down and tagged every image.

That's four keystrokes. Impressive! I don't think there's a five-keystroke pattern.

I really liked this article. It's by far the most concise explanation of asyncio in python that I've come across. Also, great use of little "quoted" statements throughout that encourage you to stop and really understand
