The link to the Paleolithic diet made me think that one strategy against increasing addition is to normalize for evolutionary time. Still requires a lot of learned, subjective insight. But basically, anything that has proved itself via evol

Let's do a connotation reduction. Programmer, Developer, and Engineer all end in -er but have a significant root word in the meaning, thus evoking similarly specific large activities with 'attached' occupations. Programmer evokes programs.

Eat healthy, sustainable, low GL foods, where possible. But that's not exactly feasible 24/7. So... I find that it all starts when you eat when you're not hungry. This may be the product of a need to reassert control via some of the feedbac

Well said. And massive culture shifts are hard to get started on account of the inertia involved. However, piggy-backing on other culture shifts already in progress is easier. This may sound overly idealistic. But a technology shift that is

If you think about it: A journalist works for a news organization. A blogger writes via a blog. Some are both. Most are not. Any good or bad connotations, evolving as they might (not the least because the spheres of connotations do

I am no fan of mosquitoes personally, but pollination is the key thing. Esp. now with the shortage of bees. There may not seem like a direct link to humans. Without mosquitoes, thousands of plant species would lose a group of pollinators.

I'd been thinking about a sort of related topic a week or so ago -- but I couldn't remember what it was until, ironically, sleeping last night, so I thought I'd relate my thoughts real quick. It's my theory (and this essay does a good job a

These are really good points. I suppose the only problem I see is when the C modules develop their own hierarchy of types and then they have to interface with Python's hierarchy of types. That's really the only issue. If what you're doing i

Right, but the problem is that the root node is always going to be Python, and any code that uses Python is going to have to go through the root node (hence all Python code is really part of the root subtree). This becomes problematic if yo

I like the article a lot (i.e., the suggestions for a newer alternative). But C + Python is much tricker than you might think (because of the GIL mainly) for any non-trivial, high-performance desktop or mobile app. Because any non-trivial,

Now that I think this phenomenon is very clearly articulated, I wonder if it isn't possible to have multiple 'top [ideas] in your mind' or 'ground states'. It could be simply a matter of training your brain to have a strong stack for trav

The thing to be cognizant of, I think, is that CS/Business/Marketing at a University are already disconnected from the business world somewhat. The problems they solve are already more abstract and academic (in a good sense). So people are

This could be evidence of the argument that a lot of what people have to say has to do with the magnitude of their thoughts and less the actual direction. I.e., if I say, I'm really, really happy right now. A trained psychologist, or some

For profiling: usually as a first pass I turn to PG. :) Seriously though, add '-pg' to your CFLAGS and LDFLAGS, recompile, run, and look at the output in gprof. It's a pretty good way to easily identify bottlenecks. You can pipe the output

What's wrong with C++ can ironically be summed up by how a C++ (or C) compiler would parse 'C++'. If the value of C++ were accessed at that line, a temporary would be generated to access the original C value, and then after the line C would

The key, I think, to hacking most interviews is to take into account the fact that most interviewers overoptimize for their own contribution to the process; i.e., you want to put yourself on a path where the interviewers have some sort of i

The last section is a bit pretentious ('darkened dorm room', 'do not lament your condition'). I do sympathize with the difficulty of learning how to love in modern times, etc. And I did enjoy parts of the retelling of The Red and the Black.
