I have no doubt you're correct, however if the same model were applied in the US it would automatically be seen as racist. And I know you use the word 'ethnicity,' but I posit that no one over here thinks in such nuanced ter

When I first looked at Huginn, it wouldn't run on ARM (raspberry pi). I eventually just went with Python3, Cronjobs, and an app called Pushover (push notifications). No visual niceties, but it works rather well for my purposes. I have

One thing I've noticed about these quandaries: there's very little consideration for what one owes their society. Doing something in service to others may not bring an immediate 'happiness' but if you're looking f

This is all a pretty good argument in favor of conservatism, especially the last bit. There are plenty of cultural practices that preserve or promote something valuable in society, and maybe we don't even know why they work. But they

Unsurprisingly, there are very few accounts on here of people killing themselves with their own code.

I am a random crusader here to say that Foam is the greatest of all such software (every other option gets at least one such crusader, its only fair)

Thank you for explaining your process. I think I might benefit from this approach.

All of them, as often as possible. There's no 'magic bullet' book, but having a habit of reading is a great way toward personal growth.

Antitrust laws have been around for a long time. Competition is essential for a free market to function optimally. You can disagree, but that's why they exist. Its not to punish anyone.

I can appreciate the amount of talent that went into making Hamilton, but I found the pace too manic to fully enjoy it. The thing never lets up.

There's a trade off here between personal health and the resources needed to put the food on the table in front of you. Of course, the latter is mitigated if you take the leftovers with you to go.

This is somehow correlated with the idea of knowing 'about' a thing vs knowing a thing. News, in a large majority of cases, is something that you learn about. Its not something you experience directly. In most cases, the most u

You and me both. My thoughts on this subject are that all knowledge is related in some manner, so unless you want your knowledge points to form an all to all connection (useless), there needs to be some probabilistic connection. This means

This has been a philosophical concern as well as an economic one for a while now. John Maynard Keynes had some notable thoughts on the future of work leading to a utopia of less work and the same/more reward (and he was incorrect). Bu
