I’ve been using Clojure off and on for a few years but skipped learning about macros because I haven’t (yet) needed to write my own. Your comment makes me regret that decision.

I learned French, (some) Arabic, and (some) Chinese with TPR and TPRS. It was a lot of fun, actually, and I had previously found language learning hard. I also took French in college, with the Rassias Method, so it was a second go round for

Number two seems not right. For the path you’re talking about to be useful, shouldn’t it still work even if you’re the last person on left on Earth? Number two also assumes that the majority of people are also searching for truth (seems the

I had a positive experience with a Blue Apron, but had similar quality issue with Purple Carrot. Most of the produce would arrive in a partially rotten state and sometimes ingredients were missing or the bottle of some liquid hadn't be

Does this have Clojure's persistent data structures? The docs say it has immutable data structures, which isn't exactly the same thing. (Edit: added the second sentence)

Swift, on iOS (and maybe macOS). I love the expressiveness of the language.

I had to put Child of God down for two years and come back to it. I was surprised to see how disturbed I was at Lester's depravity, especially since I enjoy stories that examine the darker side of human nature. I was glad to have go

I was always impressed with Blitzmail's speed. It was certainly faster than any of the email clients I use/try out these days, or at least it seems that way in my memory.

When I meditate, what my mind does or doesn’t do makes no difference. It really has nothing to do with me. I pay no attention to it. I basically sit as if I am dead, not responding to anything internal or external. If thoughts come, they co

Direct replication can be very important, at least in math and the hard sciences. In physics labs, students conduct experiments that once warranted a Nobel prize. And some of the problem sets that physics grad students work on repeats work

I'd also recommend Calculus for the Practical Man . It's what Feynman used and is quite good for learning how to calculate various things with calculus. Incidentally, my college calculus class also used Stewart.

Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG) and Causal Dynamical Triangulations (CDT) are two theories of quantum gravity that describe spacetime as arising from a network of sorts. For LQG, spacetime emerges from a spin foam quite elegantly. And for CDT th
