This year, my resolution was to start reducing my dependency on Google products. I installed Firefox and deleted Chrome. Then I downloaded a file size manager and remove all files I haven't open in past 5 years, deleting from GDrive. T

I understand you. All the long ours in preparation, planning, interacting, evaluating, and for me, the compensation for all that was quite ridiculous to tell you the truth. Students only interested in the course's diploma, asking quest

Have you read Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman? They gave him a Nobel for tackling decision problems. I guess that's one important problem to humanity in general.

Yes. I like this paper ( https://www.worldscientific.com/doi/abs/10.1142/S02196220185... ) because it explains in general terms what AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) is and related tools. In Google Scholar ther

I'm sorry to say this, but, this is not so very good. Having worked with other decision methods such as TOPSIS, AHP, and ANP, and note that those are the simplest and most commented on (and not about its features, but about its shortco

It takes discipline and cerebral maturity to work at home, specially under distracting environments (e.g. Internet, games, kids). Long commutes, long lunches, long coffees, long watercooler hours discussing movies, etc., maybe that's h

Getting late to the discussion, but people tackle this for a long time in software engineering, it's called Software Rejuvenation, with models of repairing systems, Markovian assumptions, applications in JVM, etc. Interesting topic. It

It's discussed that the eagles would not mingle in those affairs during the crisis, being unable to help in the most difficult times. I know it's hard to accept this and move on, but otherwise the movie would have like 2 or 3 page

Yes. I do this. In Gdocs though, name is productivity, where I add the day in format [dd/mm/yyyy] followed by bullets points on things I thought and did during the day. It also helps me to wrap my mind around in the following week

I agree with you. More or less each one of those topics could become a treaty on the subject. Thinking broadly, one could look at security from the programming point-of-view but also from applications point-of-view, where one understands th

Have you tried woodworking? Do a small project, let's say, a stool. Use only manual tools. Use a plane to square boards. Use only glued parts. You'll calm tf down, plane something for two hours straight... :) best man
