Tbh, I'm often mindlessly watching stuff on youtube, it's mostly time I consider wasted anyway, there's rarely something really productive to do there. And, in that mode, I've watched many videos many times over. Comedia

Very very unlikely that youtube isn't perfectly clean on which videos are purely music.

Why should the will to be free and have your own goals be a necessary part of sentience? It's a feature, nothing else. You can make humans that don't want to go outside; you can make humans who do exactly as they're told all

Researchers at universities only have to justify their work in very broad strokes when it comes to mathematics, if at all. It's true that most researchers are motivated like you say, because they like it, because if you do it due to ut

Duh, that's my point. The previous comment seems to suggest that a sign of intellice is taking time to think, in general. I'm saying a sign of intelligence is knowing when thinking longer is worth it. Some people take their time e

I never click on ads even if I know it's what I'm looking for, often it's the wrong page on the right website. Looks like I'm alone in this though.

I don't think you can generalize like that, at all. A better sign of intelligence is knowing when thinking deeply is in place. And most often it's not. Most often it's more cumbersome to think for a long time than making the

Hm but isn't that how all static analysis tools, including Rust'a compiler itself, work? I.e.: You know the function body is, according to some definition, let's say aliasing, consistent. You annotate the function signature,

I think there's utility in differentiating between "long term" and "short term" motivation. You should follow your long term motivation, and completely unlink from short term motivation. Say you have to study for an

Yeah thought so too... in particular the example where you pass a a generator to a db, the generator isn't actually executed, and instead the expression is parsed & transformed to SQL. This is cool if it works. Good luck when it do

Rust's type checker is very clever tough. You can omit types almost anywhere, and rust will infer it. Say you net a vector containing Foo object. You can just do let mut v = Vec::new(); v.push(m_foo); In fact it's so

This might be a factor but it must be stated that the primary reason why international players had trouble penetrating Swiss markets was due to trade regulations which prevent retailers to sell anything duty-free or at a reasonable duty in

Agreed until the very last sentence. Refactoring should never happen for its own sake. You should never make code beautiful because it's beautiful. It should be nice to the extent, as you correctly said, that it facilitates creating va

Disagree. If you truly understand something, you must have prooven it to yourself, everything is just a mental help ("donkey bridge" in german) that allows you to remember the statement better - weather it's right or not, you

I think that's his point. The point in life isn't to have money, it's to spend time on things you liked. Thus, trading time to save money is a bad trade, but trading money for time that you enjoy is what you should do. Which

I'm open for different opinions, but in my view, being more productive for its own sake is fundamentally misinformed. Being productive means being more efficient at producing output. To get there, you need to put effort into optimizing
