Fair point about the reminders! May your wait be long.

Good to stop repeating actions making you unhappy, but how about going without assistants alltogether? From the examples given I haven't seen any meaningful life improvement with t…

I saw cost savings trickle down to customers only in an economy textbook.

Why is it surprising?

You can make coffee by brewing it or by using Nespresso.

I couldn't understand either until I remembered appearances matter more than substance. So if your goal is to deliver as much features as possible - regardless of the quality or ro…

It's an interesting question. Years of school (reading, calculus etc) to get to the point of learning basics of set theory. One day to learn basic SQL based on understanding the se…

I seem to remember doing it in SQL (EDIT_DISTANCE) 20ish years ago. While I wouldn't say it worked beautifully, I also didn't need to make a single line of Rust :) also no more tha…

I guess it's a lost skill.
