How to think like a programmer — lessons in problem solving By  Richard Reis If you’re interested in programming, you may well have seen this quote before: “Everyone in this country should learn to program a computer, because it teaches you to think.” — Steve Jobs You probably also wondered what does it mean, exactly, to think like a programmer? And  how  do you do it?? Essentially,   it’s all about  a more effective way for problem solving . In this post, my goal is to teach you that way. By the end of it, you’ll know exactly what steps to take to be a better problem-solver. Why is this important? Problem solving is the meta-skill. We all have problems. Big and small. How we deal with them is sometimes, well…pretty random. Unless you have a system, this is probably how you “solve” problems (which is what I did when I started coding): Try a solutio...

https :// unsplash.com /photos/ fZ2hMpHIrbI Your Fear Of Looking Stupid Is Making You Look Stupid What other people think of you is none of your business. According to psychological research, the greatest emotional need is security. Who doesn’t want to be liked? Yet, trying to be liked and living in alignment with your goals and values often conflict. That is, if you’re trying to be liked by everyone. John Lennon once said,  “Trying to please everybody is impossible — if you did that, you’d end up in the middle with nobody liking you. You’ve just got to make the decision about what you think is your best, and do it.” Wanting approval and  needing  approval are two very different things. We all want approval. But when you need it: You come-off as desperateyou say “yes” to stuff that clearly doesn’t resonateyou lack an internal compassyour relationships are co-dependent, one-sided, surface-level, and bound to fall apart at some future point Your need for ap...

Heal Your Gut, Heal Your Mind Depression can start with a leaky gut — here’s how to make it end there Source:  Pixabay Itwould be foolish to believe that depression can be overcome with a single solution. But for some people, the light at the end of the tunnel shines in a very surprising place. It certainly did for me. Healing my depression came with healing my gastrointestinal tract—my gut. When I became a nutrition student in 1992, I had a lot of healing to do. I had the irritable bowel from hell. No treatment had worked: not conventional medicine, nor the truly woo-woo stuff. What I discovered, as a student, was that I had something called a “leaky gut”. Cue much hilarity at that. The term leaky gut conjures up an image of cartoonish pseudoscience. But when given its scientific nomenclature — “intestinal permeability” — the idea immediately gains credibility. Furthermore...

Lifestyle encompasses a whole range of childhood issues including the ways in which children are involved in making choices about their own interests and hobbies and how they spend their time.

The link between  love  and lust has always been a problematic question in philosophy. Schopenhauer Schopenhauer  notes the misery which results from  sexual relationships . According to him, this directly explains the sentiments of shame and sadness which tend to follow the act of sexual intercourse. For, he states, the only power that reigns is the inextinguishable desire to face, at any price, the blind love present in human existence without any consideration of the outcome. He estimates that a genius of his species is an industrial being who wants only to produce, and wants only to think. The theme of lust for Schopenhauer is thus to consider the horrors which will almost certainly follow the culmination of lust. St. Thomas Aquinas St. Thomas Aquinas  defines the sin of Lust in questions 153 and 154 of his Summa Theologica. Aquinas says the sin of lust is of "voluptuous emotions," and makes the point that sexual pleasures, "unloosens the human spirit," ...
