Instagram to me feels more like a Skinner box hyper-tuned by hundreds of PhDs and machine learning specialists to be unreasonably addictive. Though of course there is value in the platform, the service being free is how they hook you into s

Wonderful extension, but at times my dopamine-addicted brain keeps disabling it on an impulse instead of doing something creative or productive on my PC. I looked into making it impossible to disable this extension through registry editor,

Math personally "clicked" to me when I started to use Python and R for mathematical operations instead of the conventional arcane notation. I did make me wonder why we insist on forcing kids and young adults to struggle through pa
