The only way to learn math is to do problems. All else is entertainment.

I love 3Blue1Brown. I will rewatch any of those videos infinity times. I don't think I've ever learned/retained anything from one though, and I'm suspicious of people who point to it as a superior learning resource. (Not a knock on 3B1B; truly an amazing achievement).

what you think matters in a career: - working hard - showing up early - keeping a long-term view what ACTUALLY matters: - hopping on a quick call - how many quick calls you hopped on - how fast you were able to hop on a quick call

Most billionaires’ wealth is in the form of stock in the companies they created, unlike multi-millionaire musicians who typically have a larger % liquid assets like cash. If they sell their stock and give it away, they lose control of their companies. Musicians on the other…

O negócio é entender a diferença entre cooperative multitasking e preemptive multitasking. No primeiro, os diversos "atores" precisam cooperar entre si. Isso significa ser um bom cidadão e não tomar todo o "tempo de CPU" para si—periodicamente, você precisa "ceder" o controle.

Há um tempo eu fiz um post mostrando que sua operação sincrona ia travar tua API Node. Esse é um post mais DEEP sobre esse tema. Sobre o termo "EventLoop Travar": O V8 executa os frames de funções referenciadas na CallStack. Enquanto houver pelo menos um frame ativo na…

"never lying" is ultimately an epistemic hygiene protocol lying adds noise in ur internal model & creates alternate versions of you that you have to uphold every lie becomes a background daemon hogging cpu/cognitive bandwidth to uphold the lie not lying is just so much cleaner

"never lying" is an extremely difficult ideal but a great one to aim for. the payoff is very long term but very VERY worth it put as much effort as you can into not decieving people. develop a strong disdain for being pressured to lie. put effort into orienting your life so that…

Se você já trabalha com computadores há algum tempo, provavelmente já ouviu falar de "P vs. NP". Mas você entende do que se trata? Resumidamente, P é a categoria dos problemas onde existe um algoritmo eficiente pra resolver eles. NP é a categoria dos problemas onde existe um…

Não sei, interesses vem e vão. Eu sou bem aberto ao fato de que por muitos momentos eu realmente não gostava da área no geral. Eu acho que "gostar" ou "não gostar" é um espectro meio vazio. Eu por exemplo treino há 10 anos, as vezes 5x na semana, as vezes 3x por mês. Tem…

eu fico muito impressionado com a força de vontade de quem trabalha com programação sem gostar de programar



YouTube Premium and Readwise Reader are by far the best subscriptions I have. I’ve already tried Pocket and other alternatives, but Reader was the only one that effectively made me read stuff from my to-read list.

Taking care of your health and being vocal about it, is one of the best things that you can do for your own community. Things like going to the gym, reducing alcohol and sleeping well are viral, don't push people to it, but instead just share how great it has been for you.

Please make sure you are only drinking as much water as you REALLY need. We need that for the datacenters. If you’re thirsty, grok is thirsty too.
