   Too much personal introspection and autobiographical thinking. Tangential thoughts not relevant to the task at hand. Lack of linear focus. That kind of thing.

   Yes technically everything on this planet is natural including the creations of man. Unfortunately this is not a particularly useful definition of the word. When we talk about natural what we mean is the systems of the planet that have been

   I think about it in terms of bugs. If your abstraction causes a bug, I have to go in and work out wtf your wonky abstraction is doing and also risk breaking other cases. If there are 6 duplications and there is a bug because one of them is

   What tools do you use? Just web audio api? Or a higher level library?

   Clipping nails is probably all you need from that list. You can still be unshaven (provided your stubble looks like man stubble, not pubes) be a bit of a dirtbag, earn slightly less money and get more women. No one gives a shit if you are w

   This only applies if you are not the only company providing the particular service your customers need and you don't provide any key extra features that no other service provides. I've worked on some apps (through an agency) with

   Where are you getting this from? The only psychedelic I've ever seen people take before clubbing is 2CB. Festivals are different because there is lots of space. Clubs are too compact and contained for LSD, can make people claustrophobi

   It's all a matter of degree. Exploitation vs exploration in search theory. How many failed clinical trials for amyloid reducing drugs does it take to see a significant possibility that we might need to explore other ideas? People will

   I find it so hard to choose since almost everything is fascinating to me. I'm terribly afraid that if I commit to any one school of anything I will miss the truth buried elsewhere. I find it easy if I have a fixed end goal to pick the

    The attention drain will expand from smartphones to augmented reality, visual and auditory. Teenagers already engaging in a mild, early form of audio AR without stigma predicts this will happen. I do not look forward to this future and the

    Nice. I've got a story about free climbing. The only time I did free climbing was as a teenager. I climbed up a small 30ft vertical cliff edge, no ropes. You might survive that height onto grass but below was sharp rocks and crashing w

    Here is a list of physical activities to stimulate your memory or imagination. There is more to exercise than the gym. Swimming, Soccer, Rock Climbing, Hiking, Kayaking, Free running, Martial Arts, Fencing, Yoga, Surfing, Dancing (Samba, Ba

    I wonder what it is about climbing specifically that causes this or if it you could get the same effect from say soccer.

    This hits home. I worked at 3 different small startups in my career. The first two failed and I left the last one for finances. I started contracting because it pays better but it's sapping my soul. I loved each one of those startups.

    Inexperienced devs should pair program async and threaded code before they can do it on their own. They drive with the experienced dev over their shoulder to point out the footguns. Or at least have an interactive code review. Unfortunately

    Completely agree. The guy should look at his own profession first and realise how easily he could spot people who learnt a few phrases or facts then look again at himself.

    Using the word makes you sound like a smartass. As if other people don't know what a shibboleth is. Everyone knows it without needing a word for it.

    AI will not replace the middle manager any time soon. Their job is too general and not specific enough to be solved by AI. Some of the tasks they do like scheduling can be aided by AI and have been aided by scheduling software but that does

    The thing about Google is they have a monopoly on search. The risk for them doing good at the expense of additional profit is much lower than almost any other business. They won't be easily replaced. They could choose to be good but th

    Where I live (big city) there are numbers you can text and it's a different guy every time. It's like ordering pizza except you get in their car for the transaction. You are usually waiting 20min at most. The whole operation is ee

    It's amazing how superstitious and brutal humans can be. It reminds me not to take a naturalist approach to everything. Even in war very few people would be this brutal now, we have moved beyond what we were and I hope we can do it aga

    Being opaque gives them power. It makes people afraid of what might get them banned so they start self censoring stuff that's not even in the official rules.

    Handling kids maybe but poetry and music are only orthogonal to intelligence at ameteur level. Professional poets and musicians tend to be highly intelligent even by your definition.
