It's common in times of crisis to dwell on "what could we have done to prevent this?" or "what could we do better"? There are many positive actions also taking place. Not to mention brave front-liners who are helpin

This is assuming that the fundamental trust in the market is still there though the global pandemic. It's hard to heal a deeper pessimism when it settles in, and the coronavirus has caused this, especially in the elderly. I think the F

One of my favorite documentaries! It didn't just give me new knowledge, but re-framed the way I view & process future knowledge.

This is a great summary / reduction of the article. I appreciated how you broke it down into groups and made the example more concrete.

I think these are fair assessments. I don't treat either or as gospel, and I'm always quick to invoke "all models are wrong, but some are useful". However, they both have some interesting insights that have helped my per

Loopholes often get conflated with "tax loopholes", but I just mean to say look for all opportunities instead of the ones that are common societal narratives (those are the ones that are very easy to get conditioned by!) A common

Seek out people who aren't bitter about the "elite", but students of them. Some good reads, although they may at first make you a bit depressed: https://www.ribbonfarm.com/2009/10/07/the-gervais

Ah I've been looking for something like svg2jsx for a while... thanks for sharing! It was one of those moments where I knew someone out there MUST'VE made a tool for it, but it was a discoverability problem.

Seems like all the pedants came out for this article. In good-faith I understand the principles OP is suggesting and have first-hand experience of their usefulness. But it's easier to nit-pick I guess.

Probably a good book, but it serves a way different purpose than this article which is more of a gateway drug for newbies like myself who have never worked with awk before and don't quite understand the value-add. I really enjoyed this
