you'll definitely find this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhgwIhB58PA interesting. Here they discuss the (lack of)efficacy of "visual learning"

Not surprised at all, maybe mildly disappointed.

In the end, we all just re-invented good old TV!

This is exactly what I was thinking :(. Well put.

Tangential - totally enjoyed this talk https://youtu.be/Ic_5gRVTQ_k by one of the creators of Bookwyrm.

> Even using recursion is rarely a good idea as you loose control with your memory layout.

Used recursion at tons of Codeforces / ICPC problems with some caching(commonly known as "dynamic programming")

To name a few concepts: "Permutation & Combination", "Proofs with induction", "Probability". I did learn some of them from university courses, but writing code for them(in terms of coding problems) helped cement few of the them for me.

I used to do some "competitive programming" back in university - which I think helped me grasp quite a few Mathematics concepts.

This is a very wholesome content. Thanks for sharing :)

Thanks for sharing. Hope you’re doing well now. Wondering where do you write daily, is it like a physical diary or digitally?

I’ve started writing of late, but I like writing on a physical diary. The only problem I’ve with physical diary is searching the entries based on a word - which I often find myself in the need of.

> A few years ago I was excited every time I saw such concepts. Now it makes me tired.

Spot on. Except for me I got tired of them after a few months.

A bit tangential question.

> I read it once and took some notes.

Curious to know how you go about taking notes for the books you read.

This joke is more beaten than Github at this point.

LOL, this clearly shows how grave the situation is. Guess it's time to listen again to: https://youtu.be/XimyEvDJWzA

We've got the wrong theory about how minds work and it's ruining our lives

> Those GitHub badges... they are as ugly as it gets.

Bingo. Not everything in this world needs to be gamified.

That escalated quickly.

> The dating app gets paid when you get married?

Wondering how it can be enforced from business model point of view.

> Is it the dating app that is responsible, or that people/prospective dates have became much more disposable in general, and no-one really cares?

"Everyone has probably been told by the apps that they can get someone in the top 5 or 10% of what is available to them, so will feel unhappy with anyone else." -- I think the fact that these apps have instilled a sense of "I can do better" attitude is probably one of the core problems here. So, I would still probably hold the dating apps responsible.

Liked the mention of "comradery" over "family".

The only chrome feature that is preventing me from moving to firefox is the "tab grouping" feature in chrome.
