I see that you’ve named your playlist “flow state” so you might like the Flow State[0] “podcast” on Spotify. It is classified as such, but is really a playlist timed to the pomodoro method in which the author speaks about the science of flow state during the pomodoro breaks.

Interesting. What university did you attend? Which university would you recommend for a person living in USA that I suppose would be the “most” English-oriented?

Sam Harris' Waking Up. My time on Earth is best partitioned into before and after I started the project of spirituality without religion (the book's subtitle).

At first I thought that a good way out of this is to install Calyx OS or similar AOSP onto the Pixel, but then checked the Calyx support website [0] and, because they source the proprietary bits from Google, it's the same problem as the post elaborates...

E.g. iptorrents.com. You pay for access (or have to be invited) to a catalog of torrents that are not publicly-available. You must disable the DHT and peer discovery features of your bittorrent client so that the file content is only seeded back to other members

The law of Y means the distribution of Y. See the last phrase from this [0] StackOverflow answer.

Interesting. Do you have a beginner’s course or tutorial that you would suggest? Something like the Rust book is wha came to mind

I understand you; I have either Bose QC 35 or Apple's Air Pods Pro on hand at all times because sounds are what really do me in.

As someone who was recently diagnosed with a high-functioning autism, I'm trying to find all the resources I can so this was a good read. Thanks for having shared

Oh, fascinating. Do you have any examples? I'm learning Julia and would be interested in setting goals for working at one of these startups

I did almost exactly the same project two years ago (without the snazzy blog post)! https://github.com/ebb-earl-co/libraries_io

Like all of WaitButWhy's articles, I think this one [0] helps a person understand from the fundamentals. I linked to part 3 which is the section for Brain-Machine Interfaces in particular, but it behooves you to read from the beginning

> ... it's about the same as regular web browsing.

Is this how youtube-dl was able to get out of the DMCA takedown? By saying that it's just acting on the links in the public HTML of YouTube?

I was going to ask if you said "docs" as in "doxxing" [0] but then a quick Wikipedia search got me to the etymology [1] of "doxxing" which comes from "docs" as in "documents"! TIL

How do you mean? Could you link to where you could find that? Because I searched for 'metadata' in the Noise Protocol repository and came up with nothing (https://github.com/noiseprotocol/noise_wiki/search?q=metadat...) N.b. I am very much an amateur and am fascinated by private communication methods

At least the TOKEN command was perfect for me, thank you! Instead of passing ID and SECRET, I wrote the values from the Spotify Developer Dashboard to a file like so: $ touch .spotify_credentials && chmod 600 .spotify_credentials then edited .spotify_credentials with client_id:client_secret, then $ curl --basic --user "$(cat .spotify_credentials)" -X POST -d grant_type=client_credentials https://accounts.spotify.com/api/token which was successful

Previously in life I would be completely on the side of the ends not justifying the means, especially with respect to Tails of all things; precisely because it is billed as a tool for whistleblowers and others trying to extend/preserve democracy.

However, recent episodes of Sam Harris' podcast, Making Sense, especially those with Paul Bloom, have changed my mind. The thrust of the argument is that exploiting (especially sexually!) minors is so outrageously heinous that arguments to protect bad actors in situations like this (as a subset of protecting all actors in all situations which is what Tails aims to do) ring hollow.

I have almost zero goodwill for Facebook, so with a half-trillion market cap, this is something I would expect from such a company in light of the ethical consideration above:

> other companies would not be willing to “[spend] the amount of time and resources to try to limit damage caused by one evil guy.”

The takeaway from this for me was what Senator Wyden is quoted as saying to Vice later down:

> Did it [the FBI] submit the zero-day for review by the inter-agency Vulnerabilities Equity Processes?

If the answer is no, which is how it sounds based on the way he responded, then I agree with you that the FBI-Facebook in cahoots, with the latter's resistance to going after political advertising AT ALL, is worrying.

I studied statistics, so R was the first programming I ever learned. I didn't know what it was at the time, but the tidyverse's chaining of operations on a data frame (via magrittr's %>%) was a really cool introduction to functional programming

Is the utility of this that Caps Lock is much closer to the home row (on a QWERTY keyboard) than ESC? Now that I imagine it, I am a (Neo)Vim user and so pinky-ing over to CAPS instead of ESC would be a time-saver for sure.
