Whoops, that was the Klein book that reduced orgo to electron pushing. But same idea.

Well that makes a lot of sense. It’s confusing at first because of how similar the languages are.

I find this ironic, because I found ocaml extremely confusing.

Organic chemistry as a second language and the analogous text by Klein. Nothing in particular clicked for me, but I took orgo 1 and orgo 2 at two different schools, and I remember his book being extremely readable for ochem 2.

Calculus - an intuitive and physical approach. I did some of these exercises and they were easy. They helped me in calculus. I liked the explanation of secant lines.

How to prove it - I like the reduction of proofs to mechanical symbol pushing. Good exercise difficulty for self study, good notation.

I also liked some parts of the traditional calculus book. I read a lot of it. It’s pretty good considering literally everyone takes the class with the book. I would never use this for self study, but I enjoyed it during class.

Mathematics for physicists books provide a good overview of math topics. Haven’t really done any exercises though.

Based on this description, I should vary my playing of games.

Anyway, I find the usage of the term "game" to be quite odd. Why not "strategy?" I'm not sure I agree with the overall point, but enjoy how you've operationalized/categorized behavior in this way. There is value in that.

You can’t be intuitive/perceptive and think logically in parallel - that’s the main thing that’s hard. The former is feeling an emotion. The latter will inhibit the emotion. This is actually sort of a technique in cognitive behavioral therapy for dealing with anxiety.

I logged to tell you. Yes! That doesn’t mean getting there will be easy, but you can get to a point where you go after those interactions to seek out other introverts that want to stay away kinda. That’s the hard part if there’s two extroverts someone’s gotta take initiative. I believe in you!

Lazyness is actually a great feature of Haskell.

What's the quote about selling someone a product whose faults will occur when you're years gone and half way around the planet? I wonder how this mentality is avoided/regarded in Japan.

Is security a zero sum game?

Hmm I wonder if this is a good idea. Or a hypothetical setup with a Chinese and American hardware network setup.

Maybe you're right. I could feel the parent comment's pain from that implication that he was underdeveloped, largely because I agree. I have also noticed in myself that I'm often not aware of my underlying emotions, but very often a victim of them. To everyone around me I seem like an unemotional male, but I think in reality I'm low in emotional expressiveness, reactivity, and neuroticism.
