If women in particular are good at this. And I'm thinking as I say this...wouldn't women be the sex that pursues? I'm not saying men do better at this because they pursue/initiate. This just seems like a false statement unless I misunderstand what you mean.
I'm confused -- are you saying the writer is wrong because of your anecdotal process for coding?
As someone who writes I would have a very hard time imagining writing without the ability to have a mental monologue. I do know Alan Moore said in an interview that he would talk to himself in the mirror. Maybe he's an instance of a writer who doesn't think in words.
I would not think of a blue elephant as the word 'blue elephant' it would be the mental image of one. However, when it comes to thinking about a multiple choice question on a practice test or a quote I've recently read I can recall the words on the page of paper and the words mentally "read out".
If you're a beginner in this thread focus on going to the gym/your favorite workout environment first. Don't listen to all the people giving rep counts. If you go everyday for a month and do 1 effortful rep its better than going 2 times a week--getting sore and forgetting about it after soreness goes away. Also listen to your body, we are all different. The similarities--id even suggest only focusing on body weight stuff for a year or two and the only weight you lift is a deadlift(just the bar--about 45lbs in most gyms) or air squat.
Personally -- when I work out I am focused on the moment and each muscle movement. If you want to get philosophical about it..there's no room to be bored because the "me" that experiences boredom is paying close attention to each movement. Not only does this avoid injury I find it as a point of growth, self-control and meditative. Same when running.
My understanding is you can't "get" one or the other. You either have them or you dont. Keep in mind I last read on this in 2012.
Lol also as a person of color (i.e black) that is an immigrant. When i see the whole --I moved to a small city town/the country/small city -- I tend to assume the persons race. Not a bad thing but they say it like the shoe fits everyone. I also like how new ideas come to the big city faster--
I was joking with my brother that this narrative of "being rich must be miserable" is one of the greatest cons played on the middle class -- or just sour grapes. Taleb states: if you control your preferences you are way way way ahead of the crowd--most people become rich to impress other rich people and lose their personal preferences in the process. The treadmill effect is wild.
Note: we were born in Africa moved to NA and slept in a one bedroom apartment with our parents like sardines. Fast foward to now and life is much better. I am not rich by any stretch.
When people born here (western world) say being rich isnt worth it I laugh. You're used to a certain level of safety net that we know is not sustainable and is soon to disappear (in my humble opinion). We are Zimbabwean (left 2001)
Kick them both out and then make the winner (or both) reapply as if new members--which they would be following such an exchange.
Millennial here. I like cities...the spread of ideas and culture is fast. Concerts, coffee shops (to read in) and its easier to meet hardworking people in a city(i feel like most relatively young people stay in cities at the very least until they reach their goals)...and learn how to make money just like them. Suburbs to me are where people go wait to well...die and I don't mean literally. I lived with my parents for a year after finishing school in a really nice suburb I felt suffocated. They love it.
My old man always told me not to call things 'expensive' but to ask myself why I cant afford them (at the moment). If you aren't willing to make the money to live somewhere comfortable then just call it what it is: not a priority.
FYI im immigrant and did not start out life well off but I did have parents that are very no nonsense and honest about why and how people choose to live where they live and why. Most just want to be comfortable and that's O.K
Dumb question...how would they know unless you told them? Define external income?
I'm not a scientist but surely theres a threshold density for diamonds that is far above rocks/living objects?
This. If you're commuting 1-2 hours this is a hit on your income...i think most don't realize this. Downtown toronto is worth it depending on your goal.
I'm black African. And most of my role models don't look like me. Musashi, Taleb, Frederick Douglas is in there as an exception etc. But when I look at someone who has accomplished what I want to the first thing that adds to motivation is not that they look like me...this is a wildly debilitating mindset I know it exists but lets not make it out to be healthy.
Ditto. To my personality nothing is more empowering than knowing that as a species and as individuals the stories we tell ourselves can shape not only our individual lives but the rest of the race as a whole, good and bad (I assume this is where some fears towards this notion stem). I have a feeling people from more collectivist cultures (arguably non-western) dislike this view because it means they aren't writing their "own" story and just being part of someone else's story. I'm just riffing on this latter point.
His arguments are agriculture's health and societal effects. We wanted X from agriculture but we got X+1 (what human achievement doesn't result in this?) where +1 is some unwanted consequence (having to have more children to maintain a farmstead, rotting teeth, increase in belly size, the loss of the tribe (maybe alluding to dunber's number) His points make sense, in my opinion. He understands the pros are great but his argument is we did not foresee (or adjust very well to) the cons that come with the agricultural revolution.
They did, I'm as lost as you are. This actually just broke my mind.
Right? I'm getting downvoted but I can't stand it when people born in the west think their morals matter in the name of surviving and first generation success. Yeah downvote me, most people would STILL work for facebook me included. That's a damn good pay cheque.
Yes. Some people aren't so well off that they read the news and cut off a good income because of. Picture this: youre an engineer from africa and youve moved here at 23, think they give a damn about QQ facebook is immoral? Yeah I think not.
Ditto. Liberal arts grad (Political Science) and work in InfoSec now. This is how I went through uni and taught myself classes I didn't attend. It has also workd in infosec and getting some entry level certs.
They should...like actually make good shows first? If its not anime(-mated) it feels camp or preachy. :/
Yeah you dont get it. Have you even read the website? Like...why are you jumping onto the fear bandwagon before understanding what hackthebox is about. When you turn on you fill your car with gas do you worry about an oil tanker spill?

I still just don't find the appeal of married family life yet. Maybe itll change but if it doesn't I dont care. My creative output and need to learn have so far been part of a journey I find near orgasmic in enjoyment when I look back on how far I've come. Yes I'm an introvert but not the shy kind just the kind that needs two hours alone for every hour with people.
And said state will take off its hat, apologize and disappear? C'mon mate...
Zimbabwean here but live in Canada now. There are numerous older people back in Zimbabwe who probably haven't seen a toothbrush aside from an ad in a newspaper (they are 70+ years of age). No Alzheimer's to speak of its possible this is an anecdote but I don't hear of its prevalence there or other non-north--american countries. But then again those countries don't have as big of a media footprint and research. I still think it's something westerners do (or do not do!) that causes its prevalence here.
Does that generation make enough money to be considered a market? Also conflating some to all, most millennials just turned 30 its the older ones mid 30s.
You sit for 8 hours...straight? No. You also seem somewhat proud for not being active...why make your family go through the drawbacks earlier than necessary? Not to mention the future medical costs (not just money but time)
Are you joking or are you serious? How are you going to respond to a serious discussion with a flippant fact and not point us in the right direction? Care to share where eye drops are obtained? I'm so curious
..and I'd bet competitive gaming is out (need for low latency).
Things that last a long time tend to keep lasting a long time. I'd bet the code is stellar. New things have a higher risk of what I call 'non-survival'. A concept I've learned from Taleb.
