I use Modafinil and Ritalin from time to time, when I want a good working session. I would not abuse it, but if you take doses smaller than the recommended dose they give to people with real symptoms it's probably fine, or should I say

I tend to avoid time related information on my website. I try my best to write evergreen content, showing the date almost always brings negative consequences such as people bouncing off your website before reading.

I noticed the same things recently, to make the matter worse I think we reached a point where it’s easier to have a conversation in countries considered « anti free speech » than it is in western countries. What always surprises me the most

I tried but then I switched to doing the opposite. I am now working 7 days a week (freelancing), but then I try to stick to roughly 4 hours a day. Except for when I want to take vacation with friends or family, I realized that I did not rea

I think git is fairly easy to use (and allow for more freedom, I can choose what I want to track and what I want to commit). Sure you can go wild with git. But the basic workflow is, well... basic. For the people who have a hard time with t

The reasons most people are leaning towards absolutes is actually quite simple 1. From the employers point of view: If your company is not 100% remote, then you need to pay for one (or more) offices + all the associated costs. 2. From the e

I understood your original comment, my answer was a bit off topic and sarcastic on purpose. I clearly have met enough black people who would define themselves by their race and did not take part in any organization that just promote racial

Yes I agree, I try to filter out as much as possible as well. Stick to the modern notion of "stoicism" -> focus on what you can change/control and avoid worrying about things you have very little control over. But in my ho

The place I am currently living is called "Homa" in Phuket. I think they are going to open a new one in 2023 in another city (better located). You can check it out on their website it's really nice. But South-East Asia is rea

It's not too nice to have to leave your country just to get peace of mind. But yeah, overall it's pretty nice not to care about those things. You quickly realize, caring or not caring make very little difference (if any). And you

It's technically illegal on a tourist visa (but I am on a weird covid extension scheme). But Thailand is going to introduce a nomad digital visa (Indonesia already done it). The idea is that if your income comes from abroad you don&#x2

It's everywhere in my home country. You can only avoid it if you decide to consume content pretty much opposed to it. And it was every where in my past company as well. I am not trying to fight against it, I just voted with my feet. Pe

In my home country it's not possible to avoid it. 80% of the tech companies have diversity/inclusion meeting/committees where you have to discuss how to hire more women or POC. I just want to work with good engineers. I don&#

I don’t know, how other people think, but in my circle, we are more and more living without the intent of even having a driving license. Yes, we all live in cities (otherwise it’s not possible) but I still notice the trend. Compared to prev

Discriminations should be legal. You can either try to remove your picture and reapply through a different channel, or move on and apply elsewhere. This company seems to have different values.

Nobody cares about formal academic background. Ramanujan had none (and it was visible in the way he was writing proofs) so what? Either you produce something of interest in the field or you don’t. And Wolfram did.

Some do, but it rarely happen in Social democracy because everyone more or less follow the status quo. Democracy favors short term choices and demagogue. If you want to hear people have vision statement, you need to listen to speeches made

I personally use Ritalin. It's a drug given to people with ADHD, so I can't recommend it to everyone. But my productivity tripled since I start using it.

I don't really keep track of it. The only tool I am using is the IMDB top 250 where I can click/rate movies. It's not really because I like to keep track of everything, but I found out that the 250 list is actually solid, I w
