I know this but every time I try to speak the words I say the wrong one.

I think a lot of people here (and the author of the article) are missing the obvious: an engineer is someone who works with engines. An engine is basically just a machine that does work. The question is really whether software can be consid

I'm not even that old and I completely agree with your point. One would think that easy access to beginner friendly programming languages and environments would be a boon to technically precious children. However I think for most kids,

I don't use a password manager and my email account is by far one of my most secure accounts so I actually love signing in to things like this. It beats having to remember another battery-horse-stapler type password. For more paranoid

As part of the right routine and exercises, lifting weights can be very pleasant. Personally, I love doing a good set of dumbbell rows. What keeps me (and I think a lot of people) from getting ripped is the sheer consistency needed. Doing a

This pseudocode is fantastic. It's honestly simpler and easier to follow than English in some places.

That proportions in that analogy seem way off. Every single neuron of the human brain could be utilizing quantum mechanical effects at the same time. Not very much at all like a kid's sand castle against the world's tides. I don&#

Quantum computers don't seem very useful yet, but brains are extremely useful (and they use much less power). Maybe current generation quantum computers would be better if they used quantum mechanics more similarly to the ways our brai

Does anyone know if we understand enough about natural, generally intelligent brains to dismiss the idea that they are using quantum phenomenon for computation? Is it unlikely for any reason?

I would also love a ground fish option, even if it's frozen. Fish burgers can be phenomenal when done right! I usually settle for canned, but the canning process definitely seems to have a pretty pronounced effect on flavor.

Yikes. I know people that behave very much like this naturally.

That's pretty extraordinary. I don't think I've ever heard of someone seeing stuff like that without psychedelics. Have you always been able to see it or was it brought on by something? When did you first notice it?

One thing I've noticed always seems to amaze non-programmers as they're taking their first foray into using computers in more advanced ways (programming, scripting, even just using a command-line) is how little room there is for t

Cars are the worst. Side effects include air pollution, cancer, death of nearby pedestrians, municipal neglect of sidewalks, extreme inefficiency of resources resulting from rolling around a 2000 pound hunk of metal for every 180 pound pers

That reminds me of this quote from Dick Dale, "I still remember the first night we played it ('Misirlou'). I changed the tempo, and just started cranking on that mother. And ... it was eerie. The people came rising up off the

You're completely ignoring the fact that just a couple grams of cocaine can kill a person. It might not be particularly easy to take a lethal overdose of cocaine but consider how easy it is compared to other popular substances: nicotin

Boomer doesn't exclusively mean baby boomer. It's just slang for someone who is old/out of touch. See 30-year-old boomer.

I don't really feel anything from store bought cbd edibles/oils either and I'm one of the most substance sensitive people I know. If you're still interested, I recommend buying some high cbd hemp online and smoking it. Y

Yes, I've been saying this for years. Everyone seems to overlook the massive speed advantage they could have over us. Even if they're not trying to kill us, aside from for interacting with humans, there is no reason that they woul

Finally our first-world ability to consume calories will match our ability to burn them! The problem isn't that we're eating too much, it's that we're sleeping too much.
