    I think it’s neat that Newton is taught first. As in: gravity is a function of mass. Because that works in so many scenarios.

    But then you learn that gravity bends light and that photons have no mass.

    So… Gravity isn’t a force, it’s more like going downhill… in the dimension of time.

    I’ve used SAMBA shares for years, and it’s dead simple to map a network drive in Explorer. And mounting that drive on boot is a matter of a checkbox in a dialog.

    The problem is that knowing how to do something in Windows teaches you Windows and learning it in Linux teaches you computers. For example if you know how to connect to a remote host through the command line, you already know how to connect to one in Nautilus, and vise versa. (via the command ssh://user@host)

    I think this cross-pollination approach is going to be a learning curve for Windows users. It is for me. But taking the time has not only helped me understand Linux, I understand how to use Windows better, despite barely logging in for over a year.

    It’s true that nihilism cannot justify any action. Remember that when someone says that somebody did something “because” they’re nihilist.

    The truth is that nihilists aren’t upset about the lack of meaning; it doesn’t matter that it doesn’t matter. Everybody constructs their own meaning, nihilists just acknowledge that.















  • It’s always confused me when people make a huge distinction between friendship and romance. By my thinking, a romantic relationship is a type of friendship. Like squares and rectangles.

    The idea that you could be in a committed relationship with someone who’s not your friend seems bizarre and hostile somehow.
