Dopamine nation is a good book on the subject: https://www.annalembke.com/dopamine-nation

Deprivation of quick dopamine hits seems to be the only reliable "fix".

In game theory, prisoner’s dilemma or maybe stag hunt?

Thanks for writing. This was an enjoyable read.

So in the spirit of this blog post what kind of rug did you make and where would you guess the audience/audience distribution falls on the graph?

I was looking for something like this.

Friendly note: "Join thousands of makers builing their" that's probably meant to be "building".

You’re putting some words in my mouth.

You don’t see any similarity between my universal claim and yours?

The episode is still rather interesting if you're curious to understand a different perspective.

The exact opposite is true actually. None of us will ever experience that. This is nicely captured in an episode of Orville if you're interested https://orville.fandom.com/wiki/Mortality_Paradox#:~:text=Mo....

This is a great book. Unlike any other book I've read. It helps with defining a process that I think every person working in a technical field uses one way or another. It helps you develop a way of thinking that reduces anxiety when you are stuck and helps develop paths to get unstuck. This book made me love math and I wish more people knew about it. It's also never too early or too late to pick it up.

I play Halo Infinite and the game play is great. The game crashes on a daily basis though so I don't agree with "Did exactly what it's supposed to"

Tesla fan here but I have to point out that this headline seems very favorable. Other headlines indicate that despite the new record, the expected deliveries count was 99k.

if p, then q is not equivalent with if q, then p. However this follows: if ~q, then ~p. It's not raining, it must not be my birthday.

First thought that came to mind was Westworld. That's where I've first stumbled on the hypothesis.

And that makes two of us...

I love both Elixir and Ruby and the somewhat overlapping communities but I wouldn't say the libraries are "up to par".

The problem isn't that you want to preserve an inefficient business model. A company with a monopoly like the one Amazon has, can afford to take small businesses out of the market by operating at a loss. Once the small businesses are out of the market, they can increase prices possibly above the original price level the small businesses used to offer. Without competition, smaller incumbents won't succeed. Monopolies stifle innovation. New incumbents won't have a chance.

I'm not sure about the merits of the original claim, but you can't dismiss the Suez like that. It's the connection you need between the Mediterranean Sea and the Indian Ocean and it lends itself to a ton of traffic: https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home/centerx:32.2/cente...

Setting the background to the solarized dark or light color pallet works nicely with the same vim pallet setup. I wanted to use this as an example because I don't believe this worked in Terminal last time I tried it. But after a quick google search it seems like you can use Terminal for this setup as well.

Clicking on links in the terminal is a nice feature. If you press cmd + click it opens your browser or finder. I occasionally enjoy this convenience.

There are probably other conveniences that don't come to mind now.

This seems like a thought out list of recommendations. I have enjoyed going through some of those books myself. However, the persuasive argument seems rather biased and somewhat toxic. There are many software developers out there, without a strong CS background, who write useful tools used by other developers. Does anybody here use Homebrew? The author admits that Homebrew is not the perfect software, but I think we can all agree that it's highly successful and helps many developers every day.

The field of computer science can be rather punishing if you don't grow up with a STEM mentality. I don't think there's a need to put any more pressure on developers and tell them they are not on a path to make enough money, that they will not work on interesting problems and that they have to spend another 900 to 1800 hours before they are worthy.

We should instead foster a mentality of inclusion and promote learning by getting people excited about spending 100 hours on a particular subject and not persuade people to learn based on the fear of missing out. And we're not addressing the really big elephant in the room. So many bright people spend 900 to 1800 hours developing their CS skills and end up working on trivial things that could just as easily be tackled by somebody with a bootcamp background.

It looked like he had a backup phone for that. For the fingertip version every once in a while you have to put in the passcode. I assume that's what happened in his case as well...

I think there is another thread on this topic here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14985094

You might benefit from this Coursera course [1] "Learning how to Learn". It addresses many of the issues you've mentioned above. It provides a few helpful tricks to combat procrastination and it's straightforward.

An example can be helpful:

Given Set A = {1, 2, 3}

This is the power Set of A P(A) = {{}, {1}, {2}, {3}, {1, 2}, {1, 3}, {2, 3}, {1, 2, 3}} (All the subsets of A including the empty set and A itself)

3 choose 2 = 3 (If you look in the power set, you'll see that there are only 3 ways to choose 2 items out of 3)

Note that order does not matter.
