I used to think that Nobel committee was made up of researchers around the world, and the Nobel dudes would just present it for a ceremony. Nope, it's really just people from one college who are picking these prizes.
No, it’s not people from one college. The members of the different committees are professors or scientists from various Swedish universities, and the Royal Swedish Academy which gives the awards doesn’t not only have Swedish members as far as I know.
Edit: It seems the committee for physiology and medicine is actually at Karolinska institutet, so in this case it was one college.
Obama getting the peace prize after less than a year as president. He had not done anything extraordinary related to peacse and he seemed mostly embarassed to receive it given that
what did obama do that was considered nobel bait? he had no idea they were about to give it to him. And really, him getting the nobel is probably more for signifying the end of racism since america finally elected a black president, but we all know how that turned out.
I made flash cards when I read atomic habits as an exercise as I wanted to put some of the ideas from Andy Matuschak to the test. I remember and have internalized more from this book than any other self help book I have read. I can barely remember the titles of the other books I've read.
For some reason, I never read a self help book like this again despite how successful it was.
On the flip side, the code that he originally wrote would never scale to a billion dollars. It was wildly inefficient. Someone with a bit more experience as a game developer, someone a bit senior if you will, was necessary to turn the idea into what it is today.
Wildly? I'm sure the code might be inefficient in many ways, but there have (as I understand) been performance improvements such as in chunk loading and map generation.
> performance improvements such as in chunk loading and map generation
True but the general game loop is still (wildly) inefficient; hence the multitude of performance mods (Sodium, Lithium, FerriteCore, ImmediatelyFast, etc.) that are considered basic mods for anyone wanting to play the game without dipping down to tragic fps.
All of that functionality could (and should!) have been folded into the Minecraft source years ago. But Microsoft didn't buy Minecraft to give people a good experience - they bought it because it generates a non-trivial amount of money from things like Bedrock IAPs, merch licensing, etc. Updating the games is just a necessary evil that keeps the money flowing.
(Bedrock, on the other hand, is much more optimised because, IIRC, the core game was written in C++ targeting mobile devices and needed to be efficient to even work.)
I still miss coffeescript's ability to do dict(@name, @age) though I understand that it creates an unwelcome coupling between the parameter names and their names in the calling scope.
For my part, those names are often the same anyway, though, since the calling scope names are often arbitrary and might as well match the parameter names.
Supplements. Almost 2 months on 200mg b6 daily (first paper), a couple of weeks with added b2 (found the second paper). Effects kicked in in ~half a week. Contrary to the paper, the effects still mostly wear off in over a day. Tried both ritalin and non-stimulants before (which worked), but all had bad side effects. These vitamins are about as effective for the issues I had.
I didn't get tested first, so can't tell if I would come up with the described deficiencies from the second paper.
No, it doesn't.
