> Slow down to go faster yes! I had a similar problem with bigger projects. I used to start coding too early before understanding the problem completely. I have decided to write an essay since, about everything I am about to do. This slo

On a meta level, order alone and no chaos means no order at all. You need some chaos to compare order against. More particularly, let's continue your thought experiment. There is sexual desire in men still right? so they made sex robot

Don't. Piracy has its awesome use-cases if not abused. I grew up in Iran where we have access to very little. Had it not been for piratebay, I could not educate myself on so, so many topics. Even Udacity was blocked there cause their v

Yes! I have just discovered this recently myself as well: whenever I wander off I context switch to something else I want to do instead of reforcing focus: multiple books, work, anki, side projects. Good so far.

Write and Journal. Whenever I feel unmotivated and cannot move forward, if I am not tired or burnt, then it is because I don't see a path forward. That is because my thoughts and information are disorganized and they pollute my sight.

This reminds me of a couple of cute Yahoo! answers story. In a past life I was misplaced by the high schools sorting-hat counselor into the house of civil engineering. I was motivated and so our Hydrology professor made me the TA for his Hy

I had a similar problem with StitchFix way back when; after finding out about my profession they truly pigeonholed me into a generic software engineer's fashion, almost caricature-esque. I switched to Bombfell and I had been very happy

Tangential. Games with good stories and gameplay are the same to me as novels, if not better. In that they allow me to experience things otherwise not possible. Like running for dear life when Dhaka is chasing you in Prince of Persia; or de

it has become such a preference for me: silence, dimmed lights, some synthwave music, surrounded by all my machines and a lot of fun.

This is very nice! I feel some kinship with you and I also feel a need for some shameless plug: https://plumsempy.com/2018/09/17/tetris-on-google-sheets/

I think a person who overthinks does it regardless of the stakes. Focus is very closely related to not getting interrupted by your own thoughts. I agree with you that you need to have the skill to be able to perform well, but I'm sugge

I'm not sure I entirely agree: curiosity and discovery can be very enjoyable; which means it is more about openness -- personally I over analyze when I am contracted and anxious, which figures.

I agree with you and I will add my own tint to it: I do this to push myself to grow and move forward and then lie back and do what's comfortable and familiar. Rinse and repeat.

Depends what you mean by bad; it hurts trust. For instance the Appengine to Appengine 2 transition is a particularly painful one for a consumer who built an entire business on it and I was part of a migration to address this. I had heard Go

I am Iranian, and I have to admit, taarof has been an interesting subject in my social interactions. With other Iranians, I have no problem reading and sending social cues; with non-Iranians taarof makes me come off as super nice and kind.

and then there are those who don't have a close button and make me open up the console, delete that DOM element and restore the scroll. Had to once so it on a website that was teaching javascript, which was ironic.

I use it to have a visual anchor of what the place looks like. While driving sometimes its not appropriate to slow down and read the building number, but a big visual like building color or shape will help. Especially if I want to enter the

haven't read the article and just here for the comments as one does, but I recommend Conscious by Annaka Harris. The Sun, while not necessarily alive, might be conscious. No woowoo.

thank you, at first glance I couldn't see its reduction to this case but I will sit with it more. But if you can show me how it applies here I will appreciate that as well.

yeah~ its clicking a bit more now, thank you. I am comfortable with the fact that the remainder is a coprime of a and b; but that corprimes have a definitive path to 1 is strange. Why now 0 or -1? or -2? it is not clear to me why it must al

Thank you very much for the proof. I can understand the proof in my analytical thoughts, but what I have a problem with is an intuition for it. Of course it can be that I need to sit with it more, work with it more, connect more basic subje

It is definitely not necessary. Because the gcd of 2 and 4 is 2, thus we have 2(1) and 2(2). 2 and 1 are coprime and thus will reduce down to 1, the common part left out is 2 and the uncommon part is 1, as always 1. Thanks about the Buchber
