supertramp_··on Ask HN: Student with little free time, where should I focus the time I have?
I just graduated this past December. While most of my college buddies were spending their time sleeping or 'enjoying school', I was asking myself the same question you are right now.

I concluded that if I wanted to be one step ahead of other college students, I had to be somehow proficient in a popular programming language. To execute that I did two things during my free time: I chose to develop small projects in python and django. And, also looked for internships to gain some real life experience because I knew college wouldn't prepare me very well. Thinking that way opened several doors for me after school (I graduated with several job offers).

Also, college time is a crucial period of your life that will structure and define most of your thinking process. So make sure you spend time working on that as well. What do I mean by that? Make sure you are spending time working on your becoming a better version of yourself not only career wise but also personal. Spend time exploring yourself finding out what you like and what you want as a person. I hope it helps, you are in a great path already.

supertramp_··on In Brazil, it is considered rude to be on time to a party
Same as in the US. Your appointment won't be on time and you will have to wait.
supertramp_··on USB Type-C is still a mess
Believe me or not, I've bought a MacBook Pro with a 3rd-party usb-c Hub adapter and I've noticed whenever I plug it, it interferes with my hotspot connection (I don't receive any data from my hotspot anymore). Does anyone know anything about this?
supertramp_··on The forgetting curve explains why humans struggle to memorize
I truly believe the learning/memorizing process is different for each person. For example I've been driving my car for more than a year and I still can't remember right away in which side of the car the gas tank is located at. What I do remember is that in every car, there is an arrow on the side of the gauge which indicates where the gas tank is at.
