I’ve always found that deep focusing on one task at a time was the only way to get things done at work with good quality and at an acceptable pace, and I have a real hard time mult…

You're literally restating the same point that the original poster has already made in his comment. You're agreeing with him. Seems like you just read the first phrase of his comme…

I’m a software engineer who's currently struggling with deciding what to do with the time when I'm not at work. I'm currently following GTD to organize my personal action items: I …

> No, they really care strongly about the equality thing They really don’t. The restriction heavily benefits programmers and/or very technical people who know how to game it.

"Every single one of those ads were programmed by... a human! We (as humans) are the ones doing this!" See? That logic doesn't work so well. "Software engineers" are not a singular…

I’ve used Protonmail for years, but lately the encryption is making me seriously consider a switch. You can’t use 3rd party email clients, unless you also install Proton Mail Bridg…

More importantly, there's zero evidence for the claim that achieving AGI would be beneficial to mankind.

Some say scammers are very smart, and that they deliberately use every trick in the book to tap into our psychological weaknesses and make us act irrationally. But I have the feeli…

I've learned so many things on SO though. For example, some amazing answers there made me realize the power of sed and awk, and motivated me to learn it. Ironically, I think the gr…

In my experience it’s not supposed to be that hard, unless you’re working at the cutting edge or on really hard problems. But from what you’ve written it seems like you’re struggli…

The Art of Problem Solving books are not for regular high schoolers. I'd say they're more geared towards gifted high schoolers (which may eventually go on to compete on contests su…

I don't think they've extended Linux in any meaningful way. I'd say we're at Embrace phase at best.

It changes based on the `prefers-color-scheme` CSS media query. When the value is `dark`, the page shows a yellow font with an orange glow over a dark background, otherwise it show…
