I made flash cards when I read atomic habits as an exercise as I wanted to put some of the ideas from Andy Matuschak to the test. I remember and have internalized more from this book than any other self help book I have read. I can barely r

Can you elaborate on point 3. Did you fix the deficiencies using supplements or a changed diet? On what time scale did you see improvements?

I think this is an expectation thing. People expect to be able to figure it out in time x. They expect they'd have to use y time to find the solution in the docs. And people will most often estimate that x <<< y, having been b

You can set the location for your search, but I find it a bit tedious. You either have to push two buttons (advanced search+change location) or do the search+change location. This is my main gripe with Kagi so far. edit: I just realized the

This sounds like spiritual bypass, which is a failure mode of mindfulness a lot of people can fall into. You say it drives your wife crazy, so it seems that being in this state doesn't actually help you resolve issues between you and y

If this is a description of your own experience then I would very much recommend reading No Bad Parts by Richard C. Schwartz, if you haven't done so already. It will probably resonate with you and hopefully give you some tools to expan

How can I effectively approach extending Python with Rust? I encountered some challenges while attempting to translate Python objects to Rust. My intuition suggests that it's more straightforward to work with arrays or dictionaries of

I had all sorts of random pains throughout my back/arms. After I started climbing almost everything disappeared. Being forced to stretch your hands above your body a few days a week is probably healthy for a programmer.
