You presume that reevaluation of your position is an expensive operation that we must economise on. But sometimes it is just keeping your eyes open. For this particular question, I see lots of very good and beautiful written in imperative a

This is very much my experience too. Binge programming can give you a false satisfaction of having done intellectual work without too great an intellectual effort. I find myself itching to write up some code precisely at those times when I

It is not necessarily a contradiction as long as you accept the existence of two different ways of ranking outcomes: one for desirability and one for decision-making. When a cake is being shared I may want to eat the whole cake alone, but I

But if you really are a selfish player, and you have somehow persuaded the other player to trust you and play "deny" then you should definitely play "confess" to maximize your payoff. With selfish players there is no way

The author is seriously mistaken about game theory. The Nash Equilibrium requires every player to be maximizing their payoffs given what the other players are doing. But game theory itself does not say what the nature of the payoffs are: th

There is no standard definition of "Information economics". If you are interested in the economics of the IT industry then apart from Varian's "Information Rules" mentioned in another comment, there is * Oz Shy, The

This story is a cheap attempt to make people with an inferiority complex feel good. There is nothing great about mediocrity. Someone who fails to deliver on their work is not brilliant, appearances to the contrary. But at the top of the wor

Mathematicians are indeed lost and confused but in a very different way from beginning students. One must put in one's dues in what Terence Tao calls the "rigorous" phase before one can become productively confused in the &qu

I found it very useful to read the Intel software developer's manual to get an understanding of the instruction set. If doing this for the x86 architecture seems too daunting at first, a fun alternative is to read the manual for the AV

I think programming even a CRUD application is much more congnitively demanding than any math that your son is likely to be taught before university. This is because math in school is taught mostly in terms of procedures that can be blindly

I agree with the OP's point that it is mostly the easy questions which get many answers on Stack Exchange. But I don't see that as a negative. Those working in dense communities can get a lot more done because they have the option
