Unfortunately people who like to socialize much less than their colleagues seem to have these labels put on them quite frequently.

First the unrelated concepts argument. It's generally hard to know if a concept is related to your research without understanding it or knowing about it. Then there's the dunning kruger effect where we overestimate our own abiliti

A friend of mine couldn't share his screen on meet or teams and I had to change it from Wayland to X11 to make it work. His was a Ubuntu 22.04 distro (GNOME) 4 month old install. Wonder why that happened.

Does screen sharing work on wayland now?

That's a very one-dimensional analysis of a complex problem. You can't ignore the obvious physical differences and roles in reproduction. These factors affect how you relate to a larger society and to what extent you depend on it.

Read books by Gary Provost on writing. Writing Tools by Roy Peter Clark. Draft number 4 by McPhee. They contain a variety of ideas. Writing Tools is great if you want to identify and drill techniques. Provost's books cover everything a

There's was a great article on HN on how C is more than a programming language. It is a protocol for most of computing. I would suggest you to look into the actual influence of C on computing and protocols instead of just looking at so

There's a great George Carlin bit on how changing the names to less severe sounding terms can actually be harmful. He gives the example of shell-shock being changed to PTSD which sounds more benign and doesn't capture how horrible

It is remarkable how much long-term advantage people like us have gotten by trying to be consistently not stupid, instead of trying to be very intelligent. -- Charlie Munger

What if the fixation points are not on every word but create a narrower space by being a couple inches in from either side of each line to use the classic speedreading trick of using peripheral vision? Has it been tried?

Depends on your style of synthesis I think. I need to think and establish axioms in my head after every two paragraphs so I pause a lot. Going over something again on TTS puts me to sleep.

Looks like a 'text producer' article. There's a lot of ideas mixed together into one long rant about writing. Even the headline itself isn't good. Surely, 'writing: a misunderstood activity' does the job better

You gauge the level of the class by asking questions, get an idea of where they are, and vary the pace accordingly. You've also got to factor in the experience of the teacher in gauging the level of the class. You don't need to kn

That problem and increasing intercaste marriages is why casteism is dying in many parts of India. The new generation doesn't know how to determine the caste and are generally not interested. Most of the system in large parts of the cou

Mac users are the preppies of CS. They all think they're cool but come across as snobs living in a walled garden.

The other side of the argument is that online classes have horrible engagement. Orders of magnitude worse than a normal class. Virtual meetings also induce more fatigue in the participants than normal meetings (researched). One or two off w

The classes being online is a major factor. Those classes are engagement hell. Also research has shown video conferencing is much more fatiguing than a real meeting. Even if you start engaging one bad week can put you off the course for the

It's always interesting how artists go from generic to eccentric. There's no one as divisive as Picasso. Are there any artists who just took the fundamentals and did everything textbook to become successful? Any near unanimously g

One of my friends ruptured some discs and couldn't code for a year because he couldn't sit without pain. This kind of a setup would've helped him.

I don't see how they can come up with software hardware integration and optimisation by working in silos that converge at the eleventh hour. In fact the closed ecosystem criterion would mean lots of internal dependency and more communi

I do CP on various sites so I don't know if it's for Leetcode in particular. But some companies like Salesforce or DE Shaw or Codenation do include advanced problems on their tests.

I think you're ignoring your own passive thought processes as the mind turns a problem over. For me, I've noticed that my mind cogitates while I appear to be procrastinating. Once there's a potential solution in sight the &qu

My point is that many software engineers don't really understand things you mentioned: load balancing, caching, scaling, etc. in depth and proceed with a high-level understanding to use tools that implement the low-level logic without
