Goosee··on [dead]
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.

Goosee··on New iPad Pro with LiDAR Scanner and trackpad support
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.
Goosee··on Choosing Your First Marketing Hire
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.
Goosee··on Matlab to Python: A Migration Guide [pdf]
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.
