I'm finding nand2tetris much better for covering what I gather is mostly the same. The 6.004 for 09 has more of the physics than nand2tetris but I can live without that

Last time I looked at MIT 6.004 the lecture slides seemed like they were useless without the speaker but there were no videos so I moved on. Looks like there's been an update since so will take another look...

I have spent a year working on combating my back pain and I can tell you that the musculoskeletal system is exactly that - a system. The joints and muscles all work in concerted effort to move and this idea of isolated muscular contraction

I would have presumed privacy Edit: With detached houses the obfuscation is harder/less valuable, but ideally I'd rather not have images and price and exact location of my property be linked online essentially forever. Price is on

my usage of the term "excesses" was in the context of an article about "Bonus Culture" itself a topic in the public eye. So less a term used as a value judgement and more a term with contextual meaning in this topic (IMO

Yes, quite. I have a friend who was only 26/27 and took home 325,000 USD as his bonus. Another is cagey about what he earns but it's stipulated he earns more than the number above. Meanwhile another friend at a different hedge-fun

Tangentially I was blown away to read that the age of the court officials during the Ancient Chinese Three Kingdoms period could allegedly go as high as in the 70s which is pretty crazy for ~200AD But supposedly disease was well contained i

I like how tying physics to FPS is mentioned as an ill-advised thing to do. Destiny 2 not that long ago had an issue with the Cold Heart laser where players on the PC port could output gamebreaking damage by jacking up their FPS as the lase

I guess you're right - I don't know if emphasis placed on this has changed over the years but the neutral tone was always a bit of an after thought/edge case when I was taught. Though I also wouldn't really consider my f

From experience of trying to converse with actual fluent speakers of Mandarin, there is a huge gap going from what you learn in the classroom, where you practise the tones in slow-mo, and how people speak and listen in reality. IMO there&#x

Pretty sure this is on-point branding and differentiation. Some people want to work with your faceless pristine professional top-heavy VC firm oozing with pedigree (McK,GS,Ivy galore) and some people want to roll the dice with people who ar

From what I've read, I'm not convinced the company has done enough to earn Francis' loyalty. Francis has already invested ~years of time in this company and they've allowed other toxic people to poopoo his career. Sure t

This is false however reasonable sounding it is. If you spend time with professionals sight reading, you come to appreciate that the cognitive overhead of reading individual notes caps out quite soon and most high level sight reading involv

Well a brisk walk (from memory) is about 15 minutes a mile. So people under the age of 10 and over 60 probably start having a non-negligible numbers of people who can't complete a mile in 15 mins. And then you have an obesity + overwei

Define "could", my intuition is that there is a vast population of men who couldn't complete a one mile run (right now with no training)

We struggle to model individual proteins in full, and we think we can apply a comprehensive biological model to the mind? I can say with confidence that the abstraction of chemistry in physiology is not watertight (is that a pun...?) and we

If I were the caster, I probably would simply not "live"stream it. Seconds delay lets you pull the cord before it goes public and or change feed. Minutes potentially let you omit the footage and do some super rough and ready edits

I'm trying to draw analogy to maybe something less inflammatory. Most of us here are programmers, a lot of us professionals. Music is the output of musicians, as perhaps code is the output of programmers. But music comes in all kinds o

Imagine you spent a career learning the piano. Would you expect to pick up the violin as if you were an expert? Would it be reasonable to declare violin sucks! I've played piano for 30 years, vibrato is so hard it must be wrong, tell m
