I started on the Project Euler problems years ago, and like most naive coders I took the brute force route. After discovering the problems have a deeper mathematical basis I decided to start again and learn some math. Wikipedia illustrates with the first problem, the difference in elegance and efficiency knowing some math can make.

I prefer EPUB for most ebooks, but maths books work far better in PDF because mathematical notation gets turned into image files in an EPUB and don't render nearly as nicely.
Aside from a moral basis for disagreement, a great number of people do not seem to be able to argue logically, or even civilly. That's nothing new, but I think the ease with which people can get a dose of outrage or confirmation is taking it to another level. If people are being encouraged or even subtly taught to become emotionally aroused faster, logical thinking and mutual understanding becomes harder to reach. It seems to me, more important than ever, that critical thinking needs to be a good part of the education curriculum.
I took up mountain biking more seriously two years ago when I was 44. I wondered about the same question you did last year and found similar answers. You're never too old.
I'm 44 now and I enjoy cycling in the nature more and more, I wish I had started earlier in my life. I am a kind of late developer, something that made me awkward in the past but makes me happy now. Despite of what the article says, I don't think I'm approaching the peak in earnings (that's because I don't think I get as much as I could, not because I'm particularly greedy). It's true that your mindset changes when you get 40. You get a bit less concerned about the present yet you live more in it, quite a pleasant status.
Though I find there's some truth in the article, the author is generalizing a very private experience, something that I find a bit irritating. It bases on how other people see her (madame instead of mademoiselle), while it's clear that it all depends on you. I don't like the mild sense of ending that pervades the article.
I have a friend that started at 44 and started dirt jumping at 48. He did his first no footers at 50! Now that I’m well into my 40s, it gives me hope that I can still progress.
Ah, iron and copper... 2017 is the year I was completely addicted to Factorio. It's not assembly, though you can program things with logical combinators, it's more like complete systems engineering.
The fear is that capital will own all the means of production and services and what then of everyone else?
Hope UBI is implement?
Or perhaps become more self-sufficient? The hype around 3D printing seems to have died down. I guess a lot of grand visions weren't realised and a lot of cheap trinkets printed instead but it still contains an idea that should be nurtured: robotics and AI at the grass roots level. Don't let capital own all the means of sufficiency.
"Meta" usually refers to Alt on Linux systems with IBM-PC-derived keyboards. When I look at `xmodmap -pm` on my system, the Windows key is referred to as "Super".
I stopped after 'Print the relative file paths, one path per line for all files that start with "access.log" in the current directory.' It didn't like my BSD find options.
