How the food you eat affects your brain - Mia Nacamulli youtu.be/xyQY8a-ng6g via @YouTube

toxic productivity works because our education taught us to tie our self-worth to how much we contribute to society. I produce, therefore I'm valued. I work, therefore I am. Being productive is a quick fix to improve our self-worth. Being able to do nothing is a superpower.

One good use for immutable.js in an Angular project: make an undo/redo feature in a few lines of code.

Company culture is not written down, it’s acted out. A company’s culture is a 50-day moving average of *how it is*, not how it thinks it is, wants to be, or was supposed to be.

@SimplyCookcom cancellation is harder than it should be. Not nice. Many pop-ups, many questions that you can't leave blank.

@AlexPalcuie i like your flashcard solution. i .append()-ed rows in the main for loop in my script, after figuring out the "obvious"

@vla_ve It's "obvious" that your matrix has rows that point to the same array. I actually have an Anki flashcard named "how to define an m x n matrix in Python" with the code proper code. [[0 * n] for _ in range(m)]

python. a = [[None * 10] * 10] for i in range(10): for j in range(10): a[i][j] = i*10 + j print(a) What do you get?

What's "legitimate interest"? Seen in on a few websites, none said what that means.

Little thesis writing trick: save how diagrams were generated so when they need changes it's easy.

I can use my 2013 Macbook Air 4gb i5 (cheapest) for mostly everything I do. All the deep learning stuff runs on remotely on things with GPUs. The only thing I can't do without lots of pain is... front-end development. Why the hell do the angular dev tools take up so much RAM?
