me_myself_and_I··on Replacing jQuery with D3
I've come to dislike all-in-one solutions. If D3 focused only in rendering there would be a few advantages like a smaller api and smaller file size.

It bothers me that I'm already using superagent for ajax stuff in a React project, and if I want to use D3 I will need to live with that extra bloat.

D3 is really amazing, and I'll be integrating it anyway.

me_myself_and_I··on Does Working from Home Work? Evidence from a Chinese Experiment (2013)
I've been working full time both from an office and from home. Too much time spent in both places can be stressful, for me at least.

I feel less motivated from home after a while, since being surrounded by co-workers keeps me focus on completing objectives.

If I have to choose, I'd work neither from home or an office, but in a co-working space. A coffee shop would do as well :)

me_myself_and_I··on Are You Living In a Computer Simulation? (2003)
I pretty much reached this same conclusion :S I'm constantly tormented how I'm not conscious about 7 billion people's mind but I am of mine. Why it happened till now? Can it be happening infinitely? Like if you play a video, then you pause it for billions of years, then play it again. If we were able to watch the video cutting the part where it was paused, it would look like it was never paused in the first place.

Maybe life is like that. I'll die, in a couple of billions of years, or other universes what I perceive as my consciousness will wake up (independently of the body form).

If I was told to close my eyes, and I'll get some drugs to fall asleep, then during that time someone is going to make a 100% exact copy of myself, where would my current consciousness wake up? In which bed, if me and my copy are in the same room?

How someone could convince my copy, he is not the original one? (if, for example, there is no video of the procedure). Would that prove there is no real consciousness as we perceive it and we are merely a byproduct of the laws of the universe?

Why did I become conscious in the first place? What if my homosapien body had never born?

Can it be that there is just one single consciousness but every creature experiences it on their own way? (like an OS being installed in different hardware. After some time they would look different, just like we all have different personalities and experiences, etc).

There is an hypothesis that says there is just one single electron in the universe, but all the matter is a kind of representation of it in time. That would explain why a positron and electron would annihilate each other.

I'm not an expert whatsoever on physics. I'm just curious of my own existence :)

me_myself_and_I··on [dead]
Neo, is this you? :D The blog post is a bit hard to go thru. I'll just grab the 3 cheapest ones. Btw, how am I supposed to use those codes? What Matrix? (no trolling intended, I honestly want to know).
me_myself_and_I··on Anti-Patterns in Python Programming
I don't think there us such thing as a pattern per language, unless the language is really unique. IMO what does exists is Language Bad Practices, which are actually tied to the language itself.

An (anti)pattern is something abstract and can be applied to any other similar language.

me_myself_and_I··on Google Drive Found Leaking Private Data
How is this different than DropBox? Maybe dropbox is more obscure and google more open, hence finding this vulnerability is actually a good thing. Just thinking aloud.
