I'm assuming drug rings and other miscreants who are really motivated will always find a way to acquire guns like they do in every country with gun laws.

In general open world games are ones to avoid. They contain the most bloat. My Friend Pedro, Ori, and other 2D games are actually more fun than 3D games.

A job can be fun and fulfilling and better paying. Most former FAANG employees do seem to like working in up and coming startups better with more control over the company vision.

For every handwritten thing. Use the Note S-pen when on the go.

I can't keep the variables, constraints, and edge cases in my mind. I use diagrams and crude flowcharts so paper/S-pen on Note/Tab is a must for me. Staring at the screen or typing it out doesn't do much for me.

Hence the weekly assessment. Tests or assignments every week will keep them on a sort of schedule. The most you can postpone is 7 days. It's not a perfect approach but I'd say it's a lot better than live virtual classes.

Not arguing for "do homework whenever" weekly pop quiz/assignments to keep them on track instead. I understand that you had a great experience with online learning but not all schools have teachers who can take effective clas

The problem is with the way schools are doing it. I don't see the point of teaching kids on live video. It's better to give recorded lectures with one doubt clearing session/pop quiz every week. Live video is frustrating and

This review is trash. Calling a style guide for programming bad because it is opinionated is like calling sugar bad because it is sweet. The whole review just drones on and on about why the book should not be opinionated about coding practi

Because she messed with the financial life and physical life of people. Also she used the enthusiasm shared by people who like to advance technology to manipulate people which is a grave sin for the kind of audience you'll find here.

Stealing here would be robbing a person with the aid of violence or threat of violence. It's not really the same thing.

It depends on the content. Generally I'd say the one idea per paragraph and topic sentence followed by arguments approach is the best because it's the most common way of argument construction. Personally I love it when jargon is c

Facebook is only going up with its advantage in VR platforms. Netflix, on the other hand, has no real competitive advantage at this point except being the oldest streaming service with a good brand. Google is too big and too diverse to fail

Except every UX decision in every big social media app is research backed attention harvesting. Interactivity changes the equation. Limitless options change the equation. Radio and TV couldn't tailor themselves to an audience of one, y

Bitcoin and Data centers are two major global warming behemoths no one talks about. It's about time it became an issue.

Everything in depression ultimately is a self sustaining loop. That's why outside intervention is often needed. I wouldn't leave my bed to get food when I was depressed. No showering. No work. Stayed in bed all day. Got dinner the

I'm joking. Buddhism involves the ever moving mind so any game that forces you to stop in the moment is against the philosophy. It's the case that when asked what is buddhism one must raise his fist; when asked what is the meaning

I'm tempted to think that Buddha made some rules just to challenge his disciples and see if they actually understood the message. Like the Zen monks who love messing with their students. Except some knobhead took it seriously and remem

Let's say you do not practice any religion but believe in a higher power. What is the goal of spirituality? Self knowledge. And self knowledge is also the knowledge about how you are related to said higher power and the people around y

That is true. Windows in the end will always be a mom and pop OS. But with increasing computer literacy I expect Microsoft's market share to dwindle. Btw what about your secondary memory is it SSD or traditional HDD?

I practice my religion, believe in god, and pray for some minutes during the evening. Believing in spirituality without religion leads to a cognitive dissonance. My philosophy is that there are too many things that we simply cannot observe

You don't notice the lag unless you've used a MacBook or Linux. If you ever upgrade to an i7 you will see a performance boost and your current system will feel slow. So running Linux on the same specs as Windows you'll see th

I don't know if that's a great use case. My experience with old people says that they (mostly) hate tech and cannot operate it without someone else. Also with old people you'd want the tech to be familiar to them so that you

But the whole point of curiosity is to find out more about something in order to form a judgement. We just need to be willing to change judgements when shown the constraints. In a way, asking people to be non judgemental kills curiosity. I&
