Qutebrowser runs on top of Blink, which is the same guts that are in Chrome. So if Widevine is packaged for some other browser that is available on your distro, you can pass in the QT arg "widevine-path=/path/to/google&#

Project Euler 1-50, maybe 1-100, is similar in difficulty level to Advent of Code, I'd say. After that it quickly starts to become about how much number theory you know.

There's an old story about a GM who wound up with bishop + knight versus king and realized he'd forgotten how to do it.

I was the kind of scrub who had anger problems. I went to tournaments and blew up or coped with anger pushed down and turned rancid. It wasn't being mad at people who were better at me, it was being mad at myself for not being better.

This is a cool idea. I had the brilliant dumb idea to do it for Melee, so Melee took my wrists and smashed them with a hammer. :(

Mercifully Lichess actually tells you who has the move. ChessTempo didn't (you have to figure it out from who moved last,) and thereby made this feeling of disorientation much worse than it had to be.

Nonbinary people are trans. Failure to assimilate != segregation. I get the sense that you're a generation or so older than me and have consequently had to put up with a lot more medical gatekeeping than I did. If I'm right, I sal

Therapy can help some trans folks, but what they really need is a community that supports them regardless of how well they pass. Trans passing messageboards are absolutely brutal. Brutal honesty is necessary for some, for whom passing is a

Yeah, I'm agreed. My point, I suppose, is that the best "acceleration" available to me involved a good deal of emotional neglect and a pinch of actual abuse.

Disclaimer: it's late and I don't feel like SciHubbing it so I haven't read past the abstract. My N=1 opinion is that being "highly gifted" may not cause social and emotional trauma, but it can certainly complicate

I think this suggests a false dichotomy, although I'm sure that's not what you meant to write. Quick thought experiment: would you tell a physically abused child, to their face, "Do you honestly believe your misery is a resul

You know, at this point, I probably would. But I'm a depressed person about to graduate into the middle of what looks an awful lot like the end of the world as we know it, so...

I was recommended "The Gifts of Imperfection" by Brene Brown for this problem. As self-help books go it's decidedly light on woo.

Trans woman here. I agree that the neuroscience feels kind of flimsy. I would further argue that neuroscience shouldn't be used as an argument in favor of "accept trans women as being women" because, among other things, it ca

I doubt my Google-fu is better than yours (and it looks like Zed has basically retracted what he said anyway by way of going so far to remove it from the Internet) but one of the salient points was definitely "some of the code in the b

This is really cool. My advisor is a strict constructivist and will tell anyone with ears about finitism after a few beers, and I've always found it a useful philosophical position.

It's unclear what precisely you mean by 'weaker', but if you mean with regard to completeness - the reals are the so-called completion of (that is, the smallest complete metric space containing) the rationals; so you'r

It's basic kindness to refer to trans people as always having been their identified gender. It's also not a lot of effort. If you want to say that it's irrational or whatever, fine, but don't expect any of us to find it

It bears mentioning that the Wachowskis are both trans women, and there's reason to believe that Lana came into that realization around the time she was working on the Matrix films, although it was well before she publicly came out. If

I know there were a couple of incidents of this that were cited in [1]. The only other time something like this happened that I can call to mind is [2]. I haven't heard much of it at all since the last election, though. Maybe there are

There's a semantics issue at play here. Buried about halfway down the article is this: "One obvious question is what people mean by “political correctness.” In the extended interviews and focus groups, participants made clear that

It's perfectly standard. You're probably already accustomed to using it for a person whose identity you don't know, unless you walk around saying things like "I hope this person comes back to get his or her umbrella.&quo

I'm afraid I'm not a therapist, but here's what mine tells me. My self-esteem/self-compassion problems are essentially caused by a few beliefs about myself and the world that are flatly wrong. I grew up "profoundly

A good deal of the advice in this thread is specialized to the sort of single males that make up the bulk of HN/Reddit/tech. As someone who is neither single nor male (I'm a trans woman,) I wanted to provide another viewpoint
