I did all of my note-taking on paper in school. I felt like I had to to keep up with complex visualizations and concepts. The habit has carried with me. I still keep those notebooks for reflection on what I studied. They're very valuab

Queen-size bed with memory foam. Bed frame from Ikea. 3 blankets: one soft fleece blanket, one comforter, and one 25lb weighted blanket to keep me from kicking in my sleep. The weighted blanket has been the biggest QoS improvement for me pe

Rather than 'up and down', I think the visual is supposed to be 'up and back' (like forward and backward). English is fun

thank you for your detailed response. I have some family in Germany and have thought about trying something similar, so I love to hear others' experiences.

Did you move from US? What is the process like?

I don't really care one way or the other, but my impression is the group offers a setting for like-minded (read 'higher-IQ') individuals to come talk about anything and not just the thing they are there for.

I got to play HL:Alyx recently and it felt sooo awesome to peek around corners. I definitely want more bodily interaction in VR as it grows.

Haha you would be right then. Only saw some geothermal vents and hot springs but yeah, there is a lot of earth activity going on there. Definitely exercise caution when parading around Iceland: nobody is going to stop you from walking yours

Not been near a volcano, but Iceland also has a very sulphuric smell in general, like eggs almost. It is in everything like the air and the water.

I want to piggyback off this comment and also throw in HL:Alyx for VR Games. I was honestly blown away by how good VR felt, VALVe did an amazing job and I think/hope it sets the standards for all other VR Games.

echoing Scratch, it was what my class learned when we were 12 and had a good learning experience w/ it.

This is suggesting a technical support, not a rah-rah support.

It probably felt rushed because of the rinse/repeat of all preceding seasons (group experiences success only to have it dissolve before their very eyes)

I've had friends tell me NieR: Automata is one of the best 'artistic' games you can buy for PS4. Though the combat and dialogue is pretty, uhm, Square-Enix-ish, it is one of my favorite games/stories of all time.

As these trends sort of become more and more prevalent, I am so shocked at how David Foster Wallace had nailed this prediction in his book Infinite Jest. Humans becoming more and more dependent on virtual face-to-face meetings and also rely

Are people really leaving Richmond over protests? I understand maybe those up along Monument Avenue feeling a little unsafe but things have noticeably died down. The city is already (what I see) fairly priced compared to others. You might n

There is a famous youtube video the above poster is referencing. Search 'MongoDB is web scale' or something along those lines.

The S&P 500's expected annual return is 10% except when it isn't. S&P (and the rest of the market, really) can depreciate over a year and you'd just be losing your money.

Yes, the first conditional of your question is mandatory to successfully follow through and complete an academic career in Physics. I really loved Physics growing up as a student. I was really good at it and enjoyed the problem-solving. Fin

Please please please do not pursue a PhD or MSc in Physics on the sole expectation it will open a door to a career that you believe would otherwise be closed. You will not enjoy it.

DuckDuckGo was roasted when it was initially introduced to HN (mainly for the thought-to-be silly name IIRC).

I agree, it comes off as really petty and does the author no favors.

buy contracts for the ability to sell shares at a determined price later when the underlying share is actually worth less than what you are contractually allowed to sell it at.

You've more or less got it. You authorize to the vault and store the secrets in memory. So no passwords on-disk/in-source 'floating around'.

Yes but then you have someone culpable for their mistake.

Well, judging by the account name, this is probably Peter Wang, the CTO of Anaconda, Inc. So maybe that answers your question.
