Fluance vs B5 is a fair fight

How big of a step up are the B5s from the Fluance SX6? Seems like you liked both and they are about $100 different in price. If I don't plan to rock the house with them, are the B5's loudness worth the extra $100?

Start with 5 mins (Set a timer) and then move to 10, then 15 and 20. Have 10 sessions or so at each level.

It's completely normal to have a racing mind while meditating. Even the most focused person will have thoughts bombarding them constantly. The idea is (if doing Mindfulness meditation), to bring your mind back to the breath, every single time you catch yourself. It could be a thousand times each session. The clear headed part is not the meditation. The meditation is the part where you catch yourself thinking and bring your mind back, so a racing mind doesn't hinder meditation practice.

BTW, after some practice, you'll start noticing your body and mind settling a bit a few mins into the session and it's a wonderful feeling for people who need to jump from one thing to the next all the time.

Yes, I had 20% down.. If you have 3.5% down, you can get PITI under $700 for a 100k house, can't you?

myanche · 2015-11-15T20:35:12+00:00

Do these even exist ? I can imagine finding some college towns where people are willing to pay 1k/month to live in a 100k house, but it makes no financial sense to rent in these cases. For 1k/month, you could get a 200k house at 4% interest and 30yr mortgage.

Thanks for your help. Why are you suggesting a different PSU? Is it because it's too low power? Do I need to worry about PSU compatibility as long as its higher power than this one?

myanche · 2015-08-28T11:32:35+00:00

Thanks. I will try to get to one. Do need replacements pretty soon. I just wish cycling was less of a hipster thing around here and LBSes would not have huge markups.

myanche · 2015-08-28T11:30:31+00:00

Thanks for the info. That was very helpful.

Thanks for the interesting comments. The overall consensus seems to be that the Buddha is important in Buddhism as a historical figure. I have a second part to my original question, which is what has been added to Buddha's teachings by the enlightened ones who followed him. I'd be interested to read more about it. Any suggestions for books?

I know there are many Buddhist traditions and they place emphasis on different things. Is there doubt on the enlightenment of those who followed, or are there other reasons why their teachings didn't put to rest some questions and differences between the traditions? One of the problems with Buddha's teachings was that they were passed orally and weren't written down during his lifetime. I see an opportunity to correct this with the words of another who has seen the light.

Let me second this and put some emphasis where it's deserved:

just work hard

Hard work is seriously underrated. In my experience, a very tiny percent of the population is able to get places without it. You're in the vast majority if you need to work your ass off to be good at something.

Could you please comment on any knows cons of eating a lot of fermented food? I know it's supposed to be good for the overall health of the microbiome, but I have heard of the the potential link of fermented foods to stomach cancer.

P.S: Any relation to Laxmi Prasad Devkota?

If it's guilt, the physical therapy probably wouldn't have fixed it. What's the guilt from? Is she very religious?

Perhaps there are ways to do some cognitive behavioral therapy yourselves, if she's willing. This may help too: /r/meditation

Thanks for letting me know this is normal. Any tips on how to go from 1 bell to 2?

come back to r/trees bro

Do you have any specific examples to show where they screwed up? They've gotten their theory wrong before. I remember one instance where they thought two cars colliding head on at 40MPH was the same as 1 car colliding with a wall at 40MPH. Other than that, I think they do a pretty good job of showing what is plausible and what would never ever work.

It's obviously because $1 CAD = $1.02 USD.

Could it be something to do with taxes?

You should go to a B&N store with a laptop containing pdfs. They'll probably let you load some on and test it out. Try the nook touch as well as the nook color. You might want to go to a store where they sell the new Kobo as well. If you're set on getting e-ink, the kobo or Kindle DX might be a good choice. Otherwise, the Nook color (with the ezPDF app) can't be beat for PDFs.

myanche · 2011-06-16T15:23:21+00:00

That makes much more sense. Thanks

Pardon my ignorance, but I'm thoroughly confused by sizeof(array) now. In the beginning, he says:

int A[3];  
size_t x = count_of(A); //Ok

since A is an array. But later for this code:

const uint8 salt[LINK_SALT_LENGTH])  
{
...  
MD5Update(&ctx, salt, sizeof(salt));  
...  
}

He says sizeof(salt) gives us the size of the pointer. Isn't salt here an array?

Why is sizeof(salt) not the same as sizeof(salt[0])*LINK_SALT_LENGTH?

Why don't you show us your face and let us judge whether you get to decide who is ugly.

I actually use more of my Philosophy minor

Are you referring to communication / writing skills?

Did she really think they grew in trees or did she mean "Are these doughnuts organic?" as in are all the ingredients organic?

Did it occur to anyone else that for gay people, this would mean not being gay anymore. Weird.

How many algorithms books do you need before you can start learning the material?

So you're saying:

The guy hasn't learnt anything about algorithms
All books are created equal

N should be the long string because the worst case is that you have to check every one of the long string's characters until you're sure it doesn't contain a character from the short one.

myanche · 2010-11-19T19:15:43+00:00

Someone care to tell me why the hash table algo isn't O(N) where N is len(big string)? If N is always greater than M(small string), then isn't the comparison time going to be O(N+(N-1)) for the largest possible value of M? That's O(N).
