You might want to check out Exercises in Programming Style (2nd Edition) by Cristina Videira Lopes. It's a little known book that explores different ways of solving the same problem under different constraints.

Think Python and the other books in the Think X series are more about how to think like a programmer in X. It's not just a book about a language, but an introduction into the basics of solving problems as a programmer.

I've long wondered why people haven't started milling or 3D-printing slide rules. All the good used ones seem to be extremely expensive for some pieces of plastic. Surely we could do better?

For sure, but I think even if you didn't consider those particular examples to be a part of the fundamentals, if you had a solid command of basic algorithms and data structures (e.g., including your basic trees, including B-trees) and

The fundamentals really aren't expanding that quickly though. I think focusing on mastering the fundamentals in depth would pay off for any software engineer, with benefits that compound every decade of your career after putting in tha

That's why I specifically described him as "grifter- adjacent ". He's obviously a talented scientist and he's always careful to qualify his claims, but he still ends up with an audience that takes away conclusions t

With a Weber grill and some charcoal, you can basically make anything. Use it as a stovetop for normal cooking or get fancy and do some wok cooking. A Dutch oven can be used for classic winter meals like stews and braises.

As long as your diet is built mainly around plants and whole foods, and you maintain an appropriate energy balance to maintain a healthy weight and body composition, you should be fine. It's the common factor in every healthy diet. If

Huberman is kinda grifter-adjacent. He over-extrapolates from mechanistic studies for ad-revenue. I'd replace him with the Barbell Medicine folks. Check out their recent podcast episode on the common cold for what I mean about Huberman

Strength and endurance training both increase insulin sensitivity. You might not be overweight, but you might still have a high body fat percentage. Increasing the amount of muscle you have while getting leaner should help all aspects of yo

Your doc, like most docs, is probably woefully undereducated on the subject. Or at the very least he's so used to the average patient that anything above average is just a relief. But by not doing cardio, you're actually leaving a
