   Do you really think regular users will do anything remotely close to this? Based on my interactions with normal/regular users, the chance for this to happen at any meaningful scale is zero (0)

   Doesn't make the question any less bad. It's absolutely terrible question.

   They are not blocking them indefinitely (or at all). I think it's not correct to even call this "blocking". Basically they are mitm-ing to factually explain the situation at hand and then they offer the users to go-ahead with

   Patreon takes 5% according to https://support.patreon.com/hc/en-us/articles/204606125-How-... I don't think 5% is unreasonable for what they offer. It seems fitting.

   People that like this article might be interested in 'Visual Complex Analysis' by Tristan Needham. It's (IMHO) a rare book of collections of "concrete" analogies for complex analysis.

   This is incorrect, at least on 9550 / 9560. It's extremely easy to upgrade both of them, just open the back without even fully disassembling the machine.

   Here's a Half-Life 1 speed run (best time afaik): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtI5HM7GVGY I can't even begin to describe how much skill and movement precision is in this video :)

   This is a very underrated comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18055053 I've came to this conclusion on my own years ago. I wholeheartedly agree that there are books whose authors don't understand the sub

    Here's another "not sure if correct proof": Jordan's theorem! Seemingly "evident" result, extremely difficult to prove in some cases (e.g. continuous, nowhere differentiable function etc.)

    Nobody is at a loss having read none of them. I say this as a person that has read some of them (probably majority of them, too)

    After reading both to some extent (but Schopenhauer in great depth), IMHO Nietzsche is just wanna-be Schopenhauer. He even admits this in an essay dedicated to Schopenhauer IIRC! He was a weird person, just like the article portraits him to

    I recommend reading "The Man Who Knew Infinity". It's really devastating the way he died. It seems that a lot of math geniuses died premature. Eisenstein, Abel, Galois, Riemann.. I've read some of his work.. there are fo

    Idempotent is concept borrowed from mathematics. It just means: f(f(x))=x assuming f is a function (binary operators are just functions (maps) in mathematics, too, e.g. +:NxN->N (read: "plus" is a map from the Cartesian product

    I recommend you to read "Why We Sleep", however try not to be discouraged when you think about your sleeping pattern and what the science says it damages, and how it is devastating, detrimental to your health and so on. It can be

    Have you been doing TRE in 8 hour intervals? There was a study on this as well, and it turns out a lot of people simply think they are doing TRE, but once they start writing down exactly what they eat and exactly when, turns out it's f

    The best book on this topic (that I've read) "Why We Sleep" is uniformly against all kinds of medicine. There isn't long-term effect after 6 months (I think) of any sleep medicine, according to certain studies. The eff

    According to the author, with 7 hours of quality sleep, you are still sleep deprived; after 24 days, you would be sleep deprived in amount equivalent to someone not sleeping 1 full night.

    That is an excellent book. However, it doesn't contain a lot of practical advice (other than the 12 points at the end of the book, which were released already by National Sleep Association) Somewhat tangetial, check out "The Circa

    Functions are indeed objects in JS, however: 'function' === typeof (function(){}) while 'object' === typeof ({}) There are no classes in JavaScript, the way there are in some OO languages. The new syntax of 'class&#
