   I don't have much to add other than that I'm proud of you for realising this and finding a solution that works for you. Kudos

   Do you have any sources for the NordVPN claim? Edit: I just had a look through your post history and you seem to have been claiming this for months, without providing any evidence. Shady.

   I wrote, illustrated and self-published a book about mental health, psychedelics, sex and meaning in life. It's meant as an anti-dote to self-help (while diving into those topics) and a memoir of a strange part of my life where I had t

   It doesn't. If you read the article, another person first assumed that this guy was wasting time on simple concepts and not learning fast enough. Then the realisation came that he was learning them in a deeper level and doing it slowly

   Most interesting about this article for me was the parts about how he conducts his thinking, which is slowly and allowing space for distractions or re-reading books instead of finding new ones. It sounds contradictory to what would be produ

    While I agree with the sentiment to keep things simple, I feel that saying "don't be clever" is just a way for developers to sound actually clever. :-D

    I'm studying AI atm, so for my final project I'm writing a booklet/resource about mental health and AI. I'll be illustrating and designing it too. Love this sort of work, because I get to flex multiple skills and use my

    Thank you. It's great advice, which I keep coming back to. I struggle with it though, because I end up wanting to perfect something (especially if I can think of an improvement already, why not put it in, and then I'm down the rab

    Do you have experience writing for a publisher? I've written a book before, and self-published, but the idea that the publisher would prefer the barebones is new to me. Does the author usually have input into the final design?

    Yes, I've used both. Personally, I like Nano because it's just so simple. There's something about tools that are scaled down in complexity, but not being so simple that they're unusable, that I enjoy a lot. I can see Vim

    That's interesting, I didn't know he was nerdy in "that way". I wonder what his thinking behind it is.

    Had a random bug where it kept telling me the right answer before I clicked. The countries showed up as red outlines and I just picked them off. Otherwise, love games like this.

    I don't think that's whats being asked here - the question isn't "how do I build a PC with parts you buy on the market", rather it's "how do I manually build the logic for a computer to understand the comp

    I like this a lot, unfortunately I can only run Orca due to 8GB Macbook Air. This opens a lot of doors to using LLMs in art projects for me without worrying about API calls.

    It takes some time to read a RegEx, but I find them quite useful because the alternative would be a bunch of if statements, splits, looping and whatever just to do a match on a string. It's very neat and concise!
