For people more plugged in to quantum, I have a genuine question. Where did the term "supremacy regime" come from?

Coincidentally, we started using this same book a week ago with my son. It is FANTASTIC! We've struggled with other methods but this one is working amazingly well. The best part is that my son's motivation to work on reading went from zero to off the charts. He's constantly on me to do more reading!

Don’t dismiss this because you think you disagree with the politics. 12 rules is life changing.

There is lots of positive news out there. Reforestation, garbage patch cleanup, Great Barrier Reef improvement. I’ve started prioritizing finding good news. Normal media channels will just get you depressed.

Civility? Yes, this comment reeks of that. I’m interested in what good you think you are doing with this kind of vitriol? Do you think it furthers your side of the argument? I can assure you that it does not.

“Deliberately destructive trolls” is interesting phrasing when held up against “roasted dead orphans.” If we owe no consideration to the former, you prove yourself such with the latter.

I have to ask, why a site like Breitbart which has broken a lot of substantive stories would be banned? I’ve seen less credible left leaning sites on HN. I’m hoping there is a really good reason because right now I am concerned.

I can't believe they named a phone X[s]. How can they not see everyone calling it "iPhone excess?"

I don’t know 10 minutes off a 4 hour marathon is pretty huge.

1: 12 Rules for life, Jordan Peterson Ignore the controversy, this book will change your life for the better. Get the audio version Peterson narrates and it adds an extra dimension.

2: The Obesity Code, Dr Fung Probably the most eloquent and effective breakdown of how and why obesity comes to be and what to do about it. As a bonus, it’s really funny!

3:Not Alone, Craig Falconer I picked this up on a whim and enjoyed it more than any other work of fiction in the past year. It’s a first contact story that focuses on the media and politics.

4:Measure what matters, John Doer This book has transformed how my team runs. Anyone in any kind of management role should read this book.

5:Win Bigly, Scott Adams I’m going to be controversial with this one. It’s an interesting story that provides more practical tools for persuasion than any book I’ve ever read (and I’ve read every popular book on the topic). If you want to know how to apply influence read this book.

I actually agree. Showing an example of something that is hard and common in JavaScript but easy in F# would help justify using this.

I used to think CS was the exception to my college is worthless philosophy. Then I started dealing with recent graduates. The quality of the education coming out of supposedly decent schools is abysmal. I think modern college is proving itself particularly ill suited for the modern job market. They are teaching out of date skills at a glacial pace. In fact, it’s gotten bad enough that I don’t even ask about whether a candidate has a degree, they are simply irrelevant.

The lottery is the best known/most common voluntary taxation. The early United States used the lottery to fund the government.

It takes some effort but you can trigger the zone. I put on my favorite programming song (looped). Turn on “Freedom” to block the web. Exit every unnecessary app. Then finally do meditative breathing. Usually within 10 minutes I’ll be in the zone. The only caveat is that it is much harder for me to get into this state if I’m debugging.

Does someone want to give a reason for down voting this comment? There isn’t anything controversial here. For myself, lack of genetics are enough reason not to use the language. My personal style relies a lot on them and I don’t see myself sacrificing that power for above average tooling.
