Which device and why tho

Can you email me when you're done writing the book? Or at least document the development somewhere? Really interested to read this.

You can be strategic about it. But the outcome of 'getting a partner' is not within anyone's control. You can only present the best version of yourself, but you can't control who will and won't like you.
We're only humans after all.

Assuming you have been lifting/ exercise, you just gotta eat more whole grain carbohydates. Rolled or steel cut oats, brown rice, pasta 2-3 times a day and you can exceed your daily calories requirement pretty easily.

I like this, simple and applies to other tech as well. E.g. Should I upgrade to the latest Macbook?
Don't believe the hype, try it for yourself - Try how the Macbook works at the local Apple Store.
Does it solve a problem I actually have? - I want to play games while having a portable and long-lasting laptop. How does the Macbook handle games that I play often?
Find the missing features - Does the notch bother me?
To shape the roadmap - Anything that I don't like about the Macbook? How will Apple play the chip game? How will they improve the next iterations of the Macbook? No matter how powerful the M1 Pro Chip, it is still only the second version of the M1.

When I read you first paragraph, I was like, "This guy's gonna love an Asus Zephyrus G14". Glad to read that you already have one.
How has it been for you?

This. And https://ml-cheatsheet.readthedocs.io/en/latest/backpropagati... . I am currently doing MIT Micromasters in Data Science, specifically the Machine Learning & Deep learning course. Last week's assignment was to build a neural network from scratch and these two resources have been a lifesaver.

[1] is actually the reference material for this [2] lecture, which another commenter has already mentioned.

I have written a similar blogpost on writing here [0], which was received well by HN community. I'd also recommend the book "Style: Toward Clarity and Grace" and this document [1]. These resources tremendously helped me to improve my writing.

Hi there,
1. Fixed the mistake :) 2. Yes, totally recommend it. I've read a few books on writing and I think this is the best so far. The way the authors discuss the mechanics of writing is refreshing. It'll give you a good framework not just to write, but also to think. 3. This post encapsulates what I learned from the book and my experience to improve my writing skill.
My main interest is in Politics, Economics, Personal Finance, Data Science and books in general. I blog at https://adamfaliq.wordpress.com.
