@Exuma, this comment is ridiculously resonant with me, the part about 'learning transaction isolation for the 50th time' is very on point too. Everything you said I pretty much feel the same way. I've accepted it as part of h

I like how you've expressed this insight, and it is so true. Becoming great at a particular technology stack means modelling it in great detail in your head, so you can move through it without external assistance. But that leaves an ar

ADHD is quite badly named imo. It's not so much a deficit of attention but a disregulation. If you are interested in something then you can invoke an almost obsessive fixation on the task (hyperfocus I believe some people call it) whic

Well, ibuprofen is certainly not a steroid - it is an NSAID (non-steroidal anti inflammatory drug)

Even though he explained why (it is likely a forthcoming feature), I did enjoy this comment.

Please do - what kind of services are we talking about and how much data is involved? Bear in mind I have no experience with the game itself.

Yeah correct, alcohol is technically a positive allosteric modulator of the GABA-A receptors, which means it potentiates the effects of GABA in those receptors. Over time, the receptors downregulate to compensate for being over-stimulated.

To be fair, if there's a recipe on the sugar packet for a cake, it is very likely to say 'use $sugar_company flour for best results'.

The book which Bill Gates recently gave a copy of to all 2018 college graduates - Factfulness, is a very well written and comprehensive treatment of this and more by Hans Rosling (Gapminder). Highly recommended, it's not long either -

Very clever, and nice writeup! A few years ago I wrote a bunch of bash scripts to control my phone over adb (found it useful to script certain things and write messages etc. Before things like WhatsApp had a Web client). This has taken that

Quick thought: had he continued for years, he would be tried as an adult and completely screwed. As it stands, his adolescent trolling mentality has indirectly allowed him to have a chance at a normal life.

I think it's not a chaotic result as such (as the Lorenz weather prediction models you're referencing are) - which would mean large differences in outcome from very small differences in input, but a case where multiple different o

While this is true in an ideal world, I think there is also something to be said against an honest attempt to 'do it yourself', and then getting it wrong. Like many things that seem relatively straightforward at first glance, VPNs

I find the concepts of session and presentation layers within the OSI model to be quite nebulous today, especially when you try to map TCP/IP concepts onto them - because it's not a like-for-like comparison. I think I prefer the &
