I would agree the axioms are chosen, but what’s the connection between choosing something and inventing it? Choosing to study molecular biology doesn’t mean cells are a human invention.

I went to an in-person Q&A featuring a Fields medalist. The audience was a collection of undergraduate and high school math students, with a few professors in attendance. One of the young students asked exactly this question to which ev

Thanks for mentioning this. He states explicitly he hates America for giving individuals personal freedom and not abiding by Sharia Law.

This is a really bad article. There is a nugget of truth, but it's never properly articulated because the author himself doesn't actually understand the distinction. If you've already decided you want to build a unicorn and a

This might be a dumb question, but would you use the deployed version of the admin interface for writing your blog? And what if you weren't online but wanted to work on a new essay or make edits to an existing post?

Should we as a species be more concerned about a mass extinction event like this? The longer we survive, the more likely it'll happen. Isn't it just a matter of time?

any idea what book this chapter is from?

That might be your opinion, and it might even be true, but it’s not really the point of the article. Personality traits aren’t mentioned at all. A better summary would be “Project-based learning does teach you things, but often ineffectivel

I'd like to plug two podcasts by professional storyteller and contemporary bard Jeff Wright, who does a modern retelling of the two stories. [1][2] As another commenter mentioned, both the Iliad and the Odyssey were passed down via ora

Agreed, the headline is a bit misleading. It can fly, roll on 4 wheels, or roll on 2 wheels. The latter is interesting, but doesn't constitute "walking", especially when the point of walking (as a preferred method of locomoti

One I use often but haven't seen here yet is `i(` or `i{` or `it`. Basically an adverb for "inside parentheses", "inside braces", or "inside html tags". I most commonly use it in combination with `c` to re

I generally like his essays, but is there anything substantive here? He doesn't define smart. He doesn't define what it means to get stuff done. He doesn't convince me that there are a lot of dumb people getting stuff done. I

Having had a few years of intensive, classical-trained piano lessons at a young age, the notion of "deliberate practice" has also just meant "practice" to me: break down what you're learning into its separate parts,

By that logic, the following industries would not exist: automotive, furniture, computer, kitchen appliances, other home appliances, television, bicycle... The article itself and mikeyouse's comment explain the situation most clearly.

Might as well ask this here, but any thoughts on how ReScript / ReasonML compare to Elm, PureScript, or ClojureScript? If someone were looking for a fp language that compiled to JS, how would they think about the pros and cons of the a

That's certainly an observation (and one I agree with), but it's a stretch to call it "sharp". Everyone and everyone's mother has already made the claim that VR is dystopian. Snow Crash was written in 1992. For lite

To provide an alternative perspective, your comment convinced me to read the article and I didn't think it was substantive at all. Can you give an example of an "sharp" "observation" he made?

Why do parents need to "check-in" on their kids during school hours? The fact that some parent are calling students in the middle of class is particularly egregious.
