Protip: Copy the link of any blog post written ontop of the medium platform and send it to yourself as a dm over twitter.

Unlimited access to articles & acts as a nice repo of the things you read.

This works because twitter owns medium and uses a special link shortener afaik. I'm guessing there is also a 3rd party website that will do this for you.

Exactly, thank you for this. I should have been more clear. I view this as risk vs reward. I minimize unnecessary interactions so I can for example, go on a date and not be worried.

What I find interesting is that before mainstream dating apps, VCs were worried about churn (if dating apps succeed in their goal, users would delete it and never come back).

Realistically dating apps just need to attract females and provide a safe space for them to meet people online. The males will follow.

Lifetime boost on bumble is $124 last I checked. So if someone only wanted to allocate $100 towards dating apps, bumble would be the best economic decision if their area is active with bumble users they find attractive.

I like the idea of that one time fee compared to the monthly IAP through tinder/hinge.

However I can’t provide any anecdotes on the paid stuff, I prefer not to spend money on those things.

Ya I feel like it was until recently that dating apps attracted normal people. Now references to ‘swiping right’ are common in pop songs.

I know many girls that will share their dating app experiences with their parents, which I find odd.

Yeah the two things I liked about using hinge: 1. You can comment&like a pic/prompt that the other person will see 2. Girls can 'invite you' to initiate the conversation

Ultimately the types of girls to use bumble in my college, home town, and when traveling aligned with the types of girls I like. I know hinge is super popular in major cities like LA/NYC. But in the suburbs of SoCal 90%ish of hinge girls seemed socially awkward and I did not find their pics/writing prompts attractive.

Yeah girls do tend to drop 'hi! :)' on bumble. You just have to be clever when responding to it. I treat it as she is signaling me to make the 'opening move' which sets the tone of the whole conversation.

You can always unmatch (on any dating app) if the conversation stales. At least bumble unmatches if the guy does not respond to the girl in 24 hours.

Bumble has been great to use as a college student, especially during covid.

I know a lot of you are married so let me put this out here: I (and most young people) will not put their romantic life on pause cause of a virus. Every dating app got an influx of people due to bordem from lockdowns.

I'm biased towards (investing in) bumble because it has anecdotally acted as the best dating 'middleman' compared to tinder/hinge. I've had only great experiences taking bumble girls on dates.

Compared to tinder, bumble has more serious people looking to date. The system is set up so girls message first and matches will expire after 24 hr. When a girl messages you first, she is already more invested in getting to you know than when a guy using a cheesy pickup line on tinder.

I've always loved the philosophy bumble took to the dating scene compared to the apps part of $MTCH.

Sine this is a competition, does someone mind explaining the reason for people to publicly post notebooks in the "Notebooks" section?

Seems counter-intuitive to provide competitors with free information, unless you are trying to throw them off.

If you currently have an intel based mbp, choose the m1 mba if you think the m1 might replace the mbp in the future (i.e. same performance in more portable form factor)

Otherwise get the ipad with keyboard & pencil if it's just a 'supplement'. Pencil provides a whole new layer of input possibilities. If you read a lot of PDF documents, ipad is also really nice.

Very cool concept, would not mind this becoming a real thing in the future!

Off topic, but does anyone know what vscode theme this story user has? https://imgur.com/xZC2beh

I like the ideas mentioned, here is another point you may want to consider:

How do you compose your text messages? Are you always the person sending multi-lined or even paragraph responses? Try fitting your message in one to two lines while keeping the general meaning.

Example: "Hey, what did you do at the beach today? I heard the weather was nice." ----->>> "Hey how was the beach"

The second response cut out unnecessary details and flows more naturally. I get better conversations with people following this method.

Without seeing a writing sample, it is hard to gauge how you express your ideas. Maybe you try to 'connect the dots' too much and over-explain things. Remember, you are writing to professionals. You are not training monkeys on how to do a job.

Bezos bought the most expensive home in California at this time, so I'm guessing he needed to replenish some of his liquidity. Doubt the sell off is due to "insider" knowledge.

Love my 2018 iPad Pro, use it everyday for school work and for personal things. Hope to see more options for development on the iPad in the near future (requires Apple to open up developer options).

There are some cool apps that I think you guys would like. They don't have a lot of marketing behind them.. Carnets (offline Jupyter notebook) [free] and a-Shell (interactive terminal) [free].

Took some digging, but note that the new trackpad keyboard is compatible with the 2018 released iPad Pro models. Looks like the keys are bigger, resembling their laptop keyboard a bit more. I really enjoy typing on my smart folio so I hope the experience will be similar!

His iOS app “Principles” contains the book for free I believe. Great read.

Depends what type of marketing you are looking for. For example, if you are looking for social media marketing, browse whichever social networks you want to target.

From personal experiences and reading online, I noticed that quite a few universities dedicate at least one course to teach Matlab (STEM majors excluding CS). Often, upper div labs will require some sort of programming knowledge because large amounts of data needs to be analyzed and manipulated. I found Matlab to be a great introductory language but I've also been learning/using python more recently.

After a brief overview of this pdf, it seems like a solid resource for those who took Matlab courses (like myself) but wish to use python instead. One thing I love about Matlab is how easy the learning curve is to do simple plots and functions. Also not having to deal with whitespace. But, Python seems more practical since you can use it for any type of project. General STEM job requirements also usually list Python and rarely mention Matlab.

One of the reasons I posted this is because I wanted more discussion on the topic of this paper. On the website, I didn't see much of a discussion happening. As in the comments here, it seems that the term coined for this is "ego depletion".

Recently I've noticed many articles on HN how sugar, carbohydrates, dieting, etc. affects the brain, gut, and overall human body. Ego depletion is now on my list of topics to research further because I want to know more about the human body. I always thought of my Kinesiology class in university to be important because it taught about the relationship between the health of the human body and its environment. I hope there will be more findings in the future so we can, in a sense, optimize ourselves. For example, based on this paper it seems that eating a snack when studying can lead to better processing information and staying focused.
