Re:The Benefits of a Quiet Ego on Sunday October 04, 2015 @05:10AM (#10326988)
Seems like a rebranding of old ideas. We should be expecting new book soon I guess.

All this has been talked about by various western authors and scholars before(Alan Watts, Joseph Campbell, Carl G. Jung etc.) and as far as I understand them, they all agree on one thing: western people are good at being individuals, having an ego, and it would be mistake to start removing this part of ourselves and think about it as something bad. Of course we should be integrating mindfullness and controlling our narcissistic behaviour, but without antagonizing our ego.

I will stick with emacs org-mode.

The design of the site looks strange to my eyes. Colors and fonts doesn't make sense. I'm no expert on design so I can't explain why.

Dissapointed that it contains only fiction.
Re:World's First Massive Online Degree Program Starts Today on Friday January 17, 2014 @11:38AM (#7076670)
Why would anyone pay for a degree, let alone online degree, is still a mystery for me. You don't need a degree if you are really interested in computer science.

This article gave me idea for a new project. Yes, it's all clear in my head and I have to start working on it right now and abandon all other projects.

A site where you take responsibility for finishing your project. If you don't, you will pay heavy price. Lets say we will spam your inbox with a thousands of letters that remind you of your promises.

Does it mean our dimension is projected to a higher dimension also? Wonder how this world would look like.
Re:Was My Life Worth Living? (1934) on Monday October 21, 2013 @04:01AM (#6584035)
I seems to me that hackers are by nature anarchists and even a simple idea of authoritative power(goverment) is repulsive to them. I don't see point arguing for or against goverment, it's just the attitude that matters in my opinion.
