Mm, a radical idea these days! :) Lately I have come to realise that searching for the “cultured, polished being” and the “ideal life” actually made me feel even more insecure and trapping myself to my comfort zone. Oh yes doing a marathon

I’m a rambler too so it’s all fair ;) See, I’ve been focusing on reading this year, more specifically to find out what my style and interests are, and how I can develop them further. For me it’s unrealistic to “just read away” - there are m

Assuming that the student is a complete beginner. Do you think the best way to read a challenging technical book is to speed-read at the start - to pinpoint the essentials and get an overall picture - then read again, this time slower? At b

I have been thinking about this. Am reading Homo Deus now, it’s great as they say, but also feels like the author has placed the things extremely neatly in one web. Of course, the more authoritative, the more it becomes a personal worldv

To be fair, “connecting the globe —> making the world a better place” has always been a bit of a vague vision.

These SaaS stories are scaring me a little. Is there a non-BS guide that addresses these “hidden” issues associated with billing, tax etc? I want to build a website with a paywall, accessible with annual subscription only. Let’s assume arou

I’ve seen them, and still think there’s lots of space for innovation. I’m not just thinking about its ability to fly, but as a dynamic, interactive AI companion. Just how the smartphone now isn’t a purely functional device for communication

with incremental increases in artificial intelligence now taking the spotlight. Hmm that does nothing for me. I wonder what the next big device is? Augmented reality? (Yes there was Glass but maybe the next generation will be more thought

Agreed. I’ve tried many, many alternatives and paper and pen are still the most convenient and intuitive form for taking notes, sketching, constructing etc. I have a system where these notes get digitalised at some point of time though.

That’s an extremely simplistic way of seeing it though. The Rohingya were simple people, mostly poor, and lived in Myanmar for generations; religion would be a code of life for them, not a political tool. It’s likely the opposite for the mo

Maybe it’s also the culture around here. I’ve seen a few casual lololol comments that get downvoted a lot, so it creates an impression that if you’re going to say something, at least do it stylishly. (Of course value is important too..) I l

Absolutely! This was my experience too. I’d like to add that it helps you to get out more and focus less on yourself, as often we over-analyse and self-doubt too much. And no real commitment. No performance trackers, no material gains, just
