PhD in math here...I disagree that it is just a tool. I don't really give two cents about the usefulness of math. I only studied it as an art because I appreciate its artistic beauty. For me, math is only interesting as an art, and pra

It's obviously part of it. But I just meant that a lot of people like to see the results and value they produce. Game developers like to see people enjoying their game, and people like to see their product making people happy. I don&#x

To be honest, I hate Git. The commands don't really make sense outside some basic stuff. For certain organizational setups it seems like overkill. I am not a full-time programmer but I do programming for my job and for personal project

Exactly the same as in the office....the problem here is not being away from the office. It's management treating people like children and not setting up a proper reward system to show workers that what they produce has value.

I think Wordpress should do one thing well. There are plenty of small CMS platforms that support SQlite like Bolt.

I agree, I wish they would let me monetize my channel now :(

I don't find this to be true in my own life. I get into a lot of flow moments with my passions and it's become just a thing I settle into like sleep. I also don't mind being interrupted sometimes because I set aside enough ti

Hey 3880 subs is pretty good. I'm still on 241. haha. It actually takes a lot of effort to get past 1000 subs/5000 watch hours, which is the minimum for monetization.

Sounds rather scary but I would like to hear both sides of the story. I don't like guessing and passing judgment with basically a single sentence describing something that could have more to it than meets the eye.

Ramanujan had a miraculous facility for just seeing expressions without much formal derivation. He worked with the British mathematician G.H. Hardy and it is clear from Hardy's description and Ramanujan's biography that Ramanujan

I feel like there's one area where open-source cannot universally replace closed-source: complex products that need to be extremely polished. Some people might be able to swap, but not everyone. An example is the desktop: I've use

I recently bought a bag of English muffins that had a paper tag! I hope all manufacturers adopt this.

Well, due to the nature of math there are technically hundreds of questions you can ask (specific behaviour of the infinite number of diophantine equations, improving constants in estimation, whether there exists a prime number that satisfi

Maybe, but if you look at the list of famous unsolved problems in math, it has been dwindling for a long time. The list used to contain problems that undergrads could understand. Biology is still like this -- you can take quite a few intere

Not sure what the article said since it's locked, but I recommend Steven Landsburg's "The Armchair Economist". It's one of my favourite books of all time.

I think one thing that humans have not come to terms with is the possibility that some fundamental fields are essentially dead in terms of possible new discoveries that most people will care about. That doesn't mean that there's n

In twenty years you could very well wish that you spent your current years doing something other than wasting your time on computer science (or not). Take some time now to do some serious introspection and meditation and figure out what is

It is because Apple will use their own authentication-key approach with Apple passkeys, which stores a key pair on a person's iPhone.
