1. Write realistic weekly plans and stick to them. There is satisfaction in being able to reach a goal every week, even if you have to compromise on the quality sometime. It also helps not feeling lost if the project takes a long time. 2. H

Work is not just something one has to do in exchange for the allowance to do more meaningful non-work things, or at least it shouldn't. Your view sounds like escapism. To work is to take part in the economy, ie in the collective endeav

When I did look for it not so long ago I was able to find several publications with pre-2023 statistics, which ranged from 100 to 500 per years. For instance, from https://www.iscpc.org/publications/ you can find http

Also not an American, and naturally more appealed by an Obama than a Trump. I don't want to contribute any fuel to an online "political discussion", but yet I think it might be useful for some to hear that it's never bee

I personally mix languages, using higher level languages for the structural work and calling C for the code or data structures that require it. So a good FFI to C has always been an important requirement for me.

The more a position is competitive and the more likelly it is a psychopath will have it. Think of it this way: to be a piano teacher, you have to be good at piano and good at competing with other teachers. The hard part is becoming good at

Technically, I see no reason why Wikipedia would stay immune very much longer, unfortunately. The best antidote is printed books.

Couldn't the content of that cookie be used to validate its actual age? Like, just signing the date of generation?

Isn't education also "just speach" that must not be regulated then? If not, then I believe anything that present history is education, be it on YouTube or in a classroom. I believe this not because of some preconception or id

I find it quite expressive to be honest. But I get your point about the absence of creative freedom. Most art, anywhere, always, had to comply with some power. I don't believe it's very different today in the west, although it man

I was just thinking of a better front end for the same API that trifticon mentionned. Still a lot of work of course, but may not require as many approvals. I wish we lived in a world where all these APIs were open, regulated, and everybody

When trying a demo of some online tool, I'm always a bit sad to land onto an empty space devoid of any trial data. Please authors out there: think about offering a pre-populated demo instance instead, so that it's much simpler to

The "bothsidism" of this flagged post did not equate the responsibilities of the Ukrainian and Russian government in the current war, which would indeed be worthy of downvotes. It equated the hatred and the willingness to confront
