Looking for suggestions as to how to organize articles, tag them and search.

It's not clear that I need mine either. But whenever I try to get off my medication (Effexor), I just can't: with a month, I am having debilitating anxiety and suicidal thoughts. I…

Can you say more? What do you mean by "how to relate to thoughts?" Seems similar to mindfulness, but I am not sure.

How do you manage the side-effects (especially weight gain) from quatiepine? My best wishes to you.

How do you know the calories of home-cooked or restaurant meals to estimate the targets accurately?

Adjusting to a new company takes time. Most reasonable managers understand that - I hope yours is. Just out of curiosity, what is the tech stack/language?

Nice! It would be nice to see some of the puzzles that were shared using this tool.

Can you share what you did to lose this much weight?

CDC says (as of now) 190,000 people dead. There are pushbacks saying that most of the deaths are in nursing homes caused by the policy of sending sick people home. Another complica…

Very interesting. Can you share what type of code you write and what some of the gotchas you found with IDEs?

I agree with your description. The devil on my other shoulder tries to argue with me about being knowledgeable about the world so that I can do something about it. Support my cause…

Do you use an app (like Evernote, Notion etc) on a computer or use digital pen apps (Notability, Goodnotes) or just plain paper/pen? What has worked for you?

May I suggest a more equanimous modern re-telling of Western philosophy that I have currently started reading: A New History of Western Philosophy by Kenny https://www.amazon.com/N…

I wonder whether HN has heard of "Linear Algebra" by Hoffman and Kunze. I learned from it as an undergraduate and remember it being told that it was a classic. Another more abstrac…

east of eden.

What if I have a bash script that needs to contact sshhost - how do I point that script to localhost:8000?

What do you use? Paper and pen vs electronic. Sometimes I find paper and pen works best when I am in a meeting where someone is presenting a complicated topic or problem.

Thank you for the great reply and apologies for dropping out. I would like to know more about self-testing and how it helped you.

One question for all the self-learners here (I have immense admiration). Do these courses inform your day to day job in some way? Or is this for personal knowledge (even more impre…

Thank you for relating your experience.
