I've found that the most underrated problem solving tool is simply typing out my thought process. I used to be the type who asked a lot of questions until I realized that formulating the question was often more important than getting t

A few years ago I accidentally deleted my entire Haskell assignment about 1 day before it was due. Within a few hours I rebuilt it from scratch. That's when I realized the power of functional programming. There's no way I have bee

Maybe you should stop expecting someone to spoon feed you everything and learn to do your own research.

That's why you have to pick your battles. Look for the 20% of effort that will get you 80% of the results.

Because the officials have done such a great job so far? Bill Gates has literally been warning us about this for years.

One thing I haven't seen anyone mention is that the longer this goes on, the more it will reduce the credibility of a formal education. In theory you can move classes online but in practice this usually results in massive cheating. Ano

I discovered that bodyweight workouts at home are surprisingly good. It's not a replacement for a gym workout but it's much better than doing nothing.

As much as I love WFH, the truth is that people will be more committed to their job if they're on site.

The interface of the Phillips screwdriver had some inherent value (i.e self centering property) so it makes sense to protect it. With software the interface is a trivial detail that anyone could come up with. One interface is as good as any

I tried switching to a flip phone for a few months. It was an interesting experience but I wouldn't recommend it. As another person mentioned, fix the problem with yourself, don't blame the technology. Any benefits you gain from f

If we're looking at the economy then we shouldn't just be looking at the top 10-20% of men who have the genetics to be successful on dating apps. What happens to the other 80-90% of men? They can either take the left overs of the
