To be honest, I don't know where this comes from. It is of course possible to do what many would call "overly clever" things with templates in C++. However, in modern C++, even the unappealing syntax is mostly hidden and it i

Please do consider that school teachers have unappreciated jobs while they work with insufficient resources to build the future of our socieities. Just imagine "classroom control" for classrooms at different age-groups. If you fee

On the contrary, to me it appears that we are in agreement. You have found a method (to figure out what can stay) that works for you and I'm yet to find mine. I will consider if your method could work for me.

An important aspect of removing things from life is to make a decision about whether you intend to continue having something as a part of your life - either in thoughts, ambitions or as an object you possess. Without resolving this, the que

The intensity and frequency of frustration are quite likely to subside if you are able to accept these: - humans do not always act in their long term best interests - humans do not always act in a rational manner - often the former is indis

Indeed, this is why I also mentioned the second point. Sometimes, it's a matter of feeling trapped and getting out of it - which is not far off for someone being well paid but living well within their means. The goal can give someone a

Do you really think software engineers react well to being told what to do by someone who has not yet earned their respect?

Read well written books. George Orwell, for example, was quite particular about language. Another factor to consider is that brevity takes time. You have keep editing your work to minimise redundancy. After some practice, you will need fewe

The vehicles in the lane beside the truck do not have good visibility in the area in front of the truck. If a vehicle were overtaking the truck intending to immediately go to the lane with the truck, they'll not see the vehicle merging

Usually, it is safer to merge behind the truck.

- Adapting to artificial changes to environment/constraints requires a long time to evolve and that will be through countless generations. So, the example above needs to be thought of through large numbers instead of such a small sampl

For the sake of a charitable interpretation and productive dialogue, I'll ignore your first sentence. From the rest, it appears that we are (mostly) in agreement. Genes which are more likely to spread and survive are the genes that rem

You are looking at it the other way around. The drive is ultimately to spread one's genes. We just invented a way to get enjoyment out of the process without creating offspring. I leave it to you to reach for your favourite search engi

My apologies for going off track, but your last statement reminds me of how "The Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy" begins.

While I'm very happy having chosen the path you suggest, I never suggest it to anyone because I think it is not realistic. What do you think the odds are, that the average person can win against one of the strongest primal drives with

I've read through part of it and I find it quite useful when I try to reason about how something ought to perform. I try to do this before measuring and checking if I'm right. Then I try to see where I went wrong (I'm seldom

I find the front-page itself to have poor signal-noise ratio. New is much worse. So, I stick to the main page and the "ask" page. I seldom look at the "new" page.

The key (for me) to feel appreciated is in performance reviews and (hopefully) logically leading to a promotion if the work is that good. Also, getting greater technical challenges and freedom. The odd occasion where praise or acknowledgeme

"pretend you don't have solutions" is not a realistic approach. The strength of people's conviction to this will probably fall on a bell curve and few can resist the temptation when the problems get really tough. Account

Given that many decisions and choices are irreversible, life is indeed a journey that takes you somewhere. However, at any point in time, you can only be in one place. This is just how it is. There is no good or bad about this fact by itsel

If I'm not mistaken, generalising your question leads to: "What is the use of studying history?"

In the spirit of the comment with the quote which includes this part: "teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea", I think a lot of what you suggest can be learnt if one adopts a different mindset while communicating

I'm afraid I do not see this part of the rule explained enough. Why is the identity important there? Wouldn't the content of the messages suffice? Often I do not even look at the name of the poster.

My benchmarks are these: - They'll try to make you feel guilty about something that is otherwise not a big deal - They tend to be negative about almost everything and invite drama from all spheres of their life This is in contrast to:

I agree with your point. If I may, however, make a suggestion, consider using 'asocial' instead of 'anti-social'.
