You can use Coq to teach yourself many of the same ideas from ADP using Penn's Software Foundations (probably the first two books are sufficient). A somewhat more modern approach of related concepts to ewd's work is the work o

You can just use a light meter to measure directly. Normal indoor lighting is a few hundred lux and with the right setup, I was able to increase it to 1000 lux at where my head is generally physically located.

Haven't read it so caveat emptor , but I've had this recommended and it seems potentially relevant: Moral Mazes: The World of Corporate Managers by Robert Jackall.

America's Test Kitchen looked into it and it's just not a problem at the temperatures used in sous vide. There are no issues in terms of taste or plastic leaching or anything of the sort, though if you're really paranoid you

You don't cook at temperatures where this is a problem.

And it also includes full solutions in the back so it's great for self-study if you have the prereqs (probably calculus and maybe an earlier exposure to discrete math).

I've certainly been guilty of similar acts of pedantry so you'll hear no criticism from me on that front!

I was actually comparing both through the viewpoint of a tourist. Paris was far and away easier to navigate, even though I don't even speak French.

I was in Paris a year ago and the metro was such a joy to use. Way easier than the subway in NYC, cleaner, and the people watching was a nice bonus.

No this study is actually garbage. What it considers screen time is way too broad to be useful. People aren't worried about screens in general, but social media in particular as well as other smartphone applications that are engineered

> The most important part (in what the kids today would call "my lived experience") is to push yourself hard, sweat a lot, and do it at least 3 or 4 times a week. I wouldn't even say you need to push yourself hard. Gettin

Strength training done right with full range of motion can be considered both stability and stretching/mobility work. Like squatting with hundreds of pounds on your back is inherently unstable and forces you to have good balance, and m

I mean it can be as simple as playing Pokemon Go. Anything that gets your activity up will help. Lots of low intensity stuff is probably even more valuable than 20 minutes of moderate effort.

The school issue is the single hardest thing. Like I was always planning on putting my kids in public school. I got a great education in them. But now I'm wondering if I'll be forced to hunt down a school that avoids screens as mu

The job market is shit right now, and it's nearing the holidays on top of that. You need to assume that it will take hundreds of applications. It's partly a numbers game. Maybe try mock interviews if you can afford it? Like with i

The opposite of this is Po Shen Loh's "bulldozer method" of doing every single exercise in a book, as described by Dan Luu here: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1570298240326848512.html While certainl

For those curious, this kinda stuff is explicitly taught in Mortimer Adler's How to Read a Book , which is precisely about how to extract the maximum value from a book rather than speed reading.

Belief in any one religion usually entails a corresponding belief that all other religions are "fictions". Atheism is just adding one number to that count.

This is just a factually incorrect claim by someone who clearly has no background in biology. Evolution is frequently observed in the lab, particularly in organisms the reproduce quickly and prolifically as in most microorganisms. You might

You can go through vimtutor in like 30 minutes. If it doesn't all stick, you can just go through it again once per Sunday until you internalize everything you need for everyday development, though this is unlikely to be necessary.
