That makes sense! I never went to college and have never really been in "tech". Of my several dozen close friends, only one went to college and he definitely became markedly different than us as his studies went on.

I was sort of forced out of that identity by COVID lockdown and domestic imperatives. I used to be proud of how many cans I could pound in a session before I got kicked out of a bar. Now, if I or anyone else do that, it's a huge pain i

I did accidentally traumatize myself by focusing on one marker that basically said "You have an increased risk for degenerative disease x". I had a full-blown psychosomatic attack, and I convinced myself that I was going to die in

I'm annoyed by all the people that are going to downvote my comment. I may petition dang to remove downvotes on the premise of reducing commenter suffering.

Yeah, same here. I've been able to learn new tools quickly with SRS, for example GraphQL. My usual method is to wrestle with the tool until I get stuck. SRS for GraphQL gave me a much better framework for what to ask when I got stuck

Wow, this site has a lot of self-study resources. I've been sort of chicken pecking at books about learning to try to extract ideas, like stuff by Barbara Oakley, etc. Even the Wikipedia page on "evidence-based learning" only

I'm not really clear on why people are surprised about these thefts. Isn't train robbery a western film trope? Maybe we've culturally forgotten trains, but they're the mitochondria, the powerhouse of the cell. Train chic

That's the independent study part. I wish I could be more help but that research is time and money intensive, and not guaranteed to be fruitful. It also involves review of multiple studies, sometimes several dozen. Then it's about

The article says EBV is prevalent and is probably necessary but not sufficient for MS. If I was in that position I would look at my gene test results for any markers that correlate with MS. The more of those markers, the more intensely I wo

This makes me curious about where you turn to when you have hard questions about design stuff. Do you primarily Google your questions, ask colleagues, ask the internet? Is there engineering/type of documentation for design? I know AOSP

To follow your line of reasoning, no one is physically stopping you from printing money. No one is physically stopping you from committing crimes to gain wealth. White-collar crimes constitute 3% of federal prosecutions. Additionally, prose

That's terrifying. I'm reminded of one of my favorite books, There Is No Year by Blake Butler: "There was a family living in a house. There was a father, a mother, and a son. The family all looked tired. Nothing ever really h

When I learned about this it was funny to me too. My living room has a huge window looking out on the square of my apartment complex. Everyone has to walk by my house to exit or enter the complex. I've sat and watched the window for ho

It's almost certainly a simulation. If you live in apartments, how often have you seen your neighbors do laundry or bring home groceries? There's also this (short clip, start at 2:00). Note the reference to "The Big Lie"

This is very insightful. I've personally gotten better at handling rejections, but it's still very difficult. The amount of effort individuals are expected to invest in each prospective job is mind blowing. On top of my resume, yo
