Same. Also same goes for anything that has a lot of stuff going on in the same frequency register as the human voice (e.g. piano melodies) - I find that distracting too for some reason. That's why my go-to concentration music is Krypti

Still reading it actually, but definitely "The Sovereign Individual: Mastering the transition to the information age" by James Davidson and William Rees-Mogg (actually the father of current UK politician Jacob Rees-Mogg) Its main

This is going to be an unusual answer for this forum, but... the Harry Potter series Firstly, I read it as a kid, in my formative years, when it was most likely to have an impression on me. But I remember reading the books and feeling compl

Why are you so obsessed with this "tech bro" construct? If you are the kind of person that interprets everything as cliché, then you are liable to become one.

Nobody is forcing us to use this tech. If we all happened to agree that it was annoying or "super weird" then we would just opt out. Fact is, that for now it feels valuable enough for us to keep using it (more so for social '

I hear you. For months I had my Oculus sitting in the corner of the room gathering dust. Unlike a phone, it's not pinging notifications at you all day so it's easy to forget about. But you know that saying "come for the tool,

Sounds like you're speaking from experience here, so it's not for me to tell you you're wrong to feel that way. But from my POV, we've started using VR for work meetings/social gatherings (we're a remote compan

I think that a lot of the cynicism about this space comes from theorisers who have not yet tried VR for themselves and experienced viscerally + emotionally for themselves, the fact that it is a total game-changer for work and play. The th

Most of the CRDT examples I've seen appear to be Electron apps e.g. https://github.com/automerge/pushpin . My understanding is that CRDT's rely on having a safe place to store data on the user's machine (

Readwise (paid service) does this for me. Lots of integrations (kindle highlights, hypothes.is highlights on the web etc.), and they present your old highlights to you in the form of spaced repetition, either via email or via the smartphone

I do think this is true - but I also think that the ability to control anxiety (an increased tolerance for uncertainty) is a characteristic that is learned with experience and can be a marker of an experienced engineer. Someone who panics i

I get this too, and I think it has a lot to do with where your imagination tends to go. If you often imagine negative outcomes, such as the negative judgement that you might receive if you served 2-minute noodles at a dinner party, then you
