> Smells like invasion.

No, it doesn't.

What country is using what army to invade USA?

> We now know they're from a select group (of Norwegians in this case) with certain tastes no more noteworthy or transcendent than any of ours.

Only the nobel peace prize is handed out by Norway. What would you consider an example of nobel bait?

I made flash cards when I read atomic habits as an exercise as I wanted to put some of the ideas from Andy Matuschak to the test. I remember and have internalized more from this book than any other self help book I have read. I can barely remember the titles of the other books I've read. For some reason, I never read a self help book like this again despite how successful it was.

On the flip side, the code that he originally wrote would never scale to a billion dollars. It was wildly inefficient. Someone with a bit more experience as a game developer, someone a bit senior if you will, was necessary to turn the idea into what it is today.

Talk to people and be curious why they don't value code reviews.

How would you go about proving such a thing?

What paper was that?

I think dict(name=name, age=age) can be definitely be more readable and ergonomical to write than {"name": name, "age": age}.

Can you elaborate on point 3. Did you fix the deficiencies using supplements or a changed diet? On what time scale did you see improvements?

I think this is an expectation thing. People expect to be able to figure it out in time x. They expect they'd have to use y time to find the solution in the docs. And people will most often estimate that x <<< y, having been burned by bad documentation before. People will often be disappointed that their search through the docs didn't get them any answers and most people will have strong memories of "figuring it out eventually" by throwing spaghetti at the wall long enough.

You can set the location for your search, but I find it a bit tedious. You either have to push two buttons (advanced search+change location) or do the search+change location. This is my main gripe with Kagi so far.

edit: I just realized there should be a search bang for this and indeed there is. Adding !countrycode to your query works. Still a bit tedious on phone, but helps on computer.

Competitive RTS, programming and being able to stand on my hands for minutes at the time left me with wrists that hurt all the time. After I started climbing all wrist and back pain has disappeared.

This sounds like spiritual bypass, which is a failure mode of mindfulness a lot of people can fall into. You say it drives your wife crazy, so it seems that being in this state doesn't actually help you resolve issues between you and your wife. It only numbs you to the conflict and puts the whole burden on your wife.

> The writing style of this article makes me think about the periods when a lot of impulses are happening erratically on in my mind, and I can't seem to get the thoughts to align.

What has characterized those periods of time? What changed? I don't think I've ever not felt like this.
