Here's an excellent lecture that drives this point home: "Physics in the Interest of Society Lecture 2019: John Parmentola" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sx-55BhuFks

I read somewhere years ago that each subsequent recall of a memory is remembering the last time you recalled it—in a sense, an entropy-like phenomenon called memory reconsolidation…

Yep: this is by intention. Here's the logic: - I wanted to ship fast to see if anyone liked the idea and would actually use it - There are a couple of safeguards in place: 1. Since…

> I wonder what the internet would be like if there was some sort of "if you don't use it, you lose it" rule I think about this a lot, too! I think the current system was a bit of …

Thank you! Yeah, apologies—I should have implemented other auth early on but figured I could start with X given I was only going to tweet about it to my immediate circle... One of …

Good luck with the surgery! I'm looking at doing it next year myself. Anecdotally, everyone who I ran into locally who'd had his said the same thing: they wish they'd done it soone…

Thanks for writing this all out—I too have a deviated septum and can relate to a lot of what you wrote. Have you considered surgery for your nose?

That seems disingenuous at best—the man helped create Ruby on Rails & founded a mutli-billion dollar tech startup that has been wildly successful. Is there really any ground to que…

Honestly, it's a bit of both. It keeps me committed & accountable, as well as gives me a small community of supporters who help me learn and support me as my friends—I've formed so…

My advice would be to either find projects/things you really enjoy & are excited to work on, or try streaming your adventures and side projects on Twitch in the Software & Game Dev…

Can I ask what your source for this is? Perhaps you're an ex-employee? I never worked under Tobi directly (or even close), but I was almost always thoroughly impressed with his com…
