Actually, next time, why not try focusing on the pain? I do this sometimes when I run. Instead of trying to ignore the pain, really focus on it, and sense what it is about it that’s discomforting, and when you realize that it’s not going to

Since endpoint boxes are fixed, there is a proper order. Given the ordered boxes x,y,z, and the endpoint colors L ... R: for every y, x should contain more of L, and z should contain more of R.

This is the most elucidating comment I’ve read in regards to real-world examples of crypto projects. Thank you. Do you by any chance have a blog, or could you recommend some top resources to learn from?

Can you add action buttons? The directional buttons were easy enough to infer, but not sure what other types of input are possible. (I’m on mobile)

Was waiting for this comment, as all the top ones were mostly dismissive of the findings. As someone with ADHD, this is exactly how it feels to me. Increasing the playback speed is like going into a mode where the content of what the speak

Crime and Punishment is probably my favorite novel of all time. Never before/since have I been so completely immersed in the mind of character. There were times while reading the rationalizations/thought processes of the main char

Along with curiosity—which I agree is probably one of the most underrated adult traits in terms of the ability to learn new things—is cultivating the imagination. Thinking up wild and vivid scenarios in your mind and playing around with ide

This is incredible. I just got goosebumps as I stumbled upon https://solitaryroad.com after searching for "linear algebra homomorphism". It reminds me of the magical feelings of the early Internet. Keep up the great wo

Similar experience here. I did a BA in 'Information Technology'. It wasn't until after I graduated that I taught myself to program through Stanford lectures on YT. The MSE in CS was incredibly beneficial for me.

Like others, this worries me. Does anyone know of a platform or service that backs up quality educational content (think Coursera, edX, YouTube lectures, etc.) forever, so that its open-access is not at the whim of a for-profit corporation?

It requires bipartisanship in the Senate. Why is this the only thing Dems and Republicans can agree on? It's hard for me to not see it as a power play on both sides.

I might be naive, but Michael Levin[1] is the type of scientist I imagine when I think of the revolutionary scientists of the past. It's quite refreshing to see such bold initiatives being undertaken. I'm curious to see who others

Thanks for this, very informative. So LTV is forecasted "lifetime value". So, if I'm 30, they'll estimate ~50 years of revenue going forward from me and use this as LTV?

I lived in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City for a couple of months (before the pandemic). Vietnam is probably my favorite country I have ever visited. I hope to come back soon. When I was in HCMC, I visited the The War Remnants Museum. It is on t

I think this is just the nature of the "buffet of information" we currently enjoy. As in a restaurant, if you keep eating, no matter how good the food might be, you'll get sick of it eventually. You don't have to read th

Would you say the same level of benefit could be had by simply just turning your phone off and placing it in another room while working? I've done this with pretty great results. Actually, I will do it again right now.

There really is no comparison. Udemy is youtube tutorials that you pay for, while coursera are modified versions of actual college/graduate courses from the best universities in the world, and they're free. Just took Intro to Math

Thank you! This is why I read the comments on HN. I was thinking while reading that I'd like to find some good resources to explore complexity theory in more depth, this looks great. Side note: 14 people created something of value and
