My point was that medical school culture hasn't changed. It's been brutal for years. The main difference between those going to med school and the 90s and now in my opinion is a mi…

The majority of today's US med school students admitted in 2016 were born in 1992. They grew up watching the silly kids and stupid parents sit-com world of Disney Channel and Nicke…

That's succinct, but less clear than the Ruby version, imo, as you don't have any scope indicators required for the function body. JS: let f = (a,b,c) => a * b ^ c; f(2,3,4); vs. R…

This doesn't make me want to use JS. The power of JS is in two things, it's in every major browser and it doesn't completely suck. JS syntax kind of sucks. The power in JS is that …

I liked Vyvanse more than Evekeo. I had much less depression, was much more motivated and able to focus during the day as well as evening, and I still could get to bed easily and s…

F# was based on OCaml. OCaml was attempted to be promoted several years ago and failed miserably. Yes, there are people interested in it, but not in a really serious way and only i…

For those that want to focus without as much jumpiness, Evekeo is a good choice. It's not as much of an upper since has less dextro, but still works fine.

No, I was just stating part of the story from the book. Man, there are a lot of people here that haven't read BNW!
