Possible things to consider are:

It's assumed that you go to App Academy with the interest of getting a high paying job without paying too much for that opportunity, and being very confident of your success.

It's also assumed you want to be able to program, and would imagine it to be fun in the future, if it is not already.

Humans acclimate to conditions relatively quickly.

It's relatively easy to improve your living conditions with earplugs, night eyewear, and a mattress cover.

Having people around you to debug when you are too exhausted to is a significant boon for progression in programming skill.

That said, it's understandable if your values differ.

They don't have actual housing.

There are three rooms and one open space to put beds / storage in.

80%+ of beds are air mattresses people bought at Target.

Living at the office means you have to sign up at a nearby gym if you wish to shower.

It also means no privacy.

The showers in the nearest gym occasionally turn to cold water. (about 1 in 15 times)

The nearest gym is ~7 mins away walking and costs $130 for three months membership.

There are no housing costs.

Lights typically go off at 11 pm - 12 am

Residents have to wash dishes and take out the trash, and genera... (read more)

Not in trash anymore. However, there is a never version in the form of a bread recipe here.

I don't really think of my identity when I do things. I don't notice it at all.

I just assume I'm always in a calm analytic mode of thinking, even when I subconsciously know that's not the case.

Others view my identity with disgust and immediately dismiss what I have to say. I'm not really sure anything would help bring my point across correctly.

There will always be people who don't have time for you and aren't in a learning mindset, or just don't see you as anything other than an antagonist when you start trying to have a real conversation or suggest new th... (read more)

My standard way of dealing with internet names is to just ignore them completely because they don't provide much evidence/usefulness (unless I want to reference the person) and I want to read the comment anyway. I guess I thought LWers would either not notice my name at all or see it, be a little more suspicious, and read anyway. (not immediately downvote or tell me my name sucks and I should change it)

AFAICT, you're looking at posts anyway, so good/bad natured names shouldn't matter, only good/bad natured writing.

Yup. I did that first thing.

But how do I sort the comments by new (and as a list?) Seeing only new comments is useful, but what about chronological ordering for all comments?

Open thread? What?

Nice! How do I go about adding a feature to the site that everyone can use?

Thanks!

Is there any way to make this a little more automatic for the future?

Greasemonkey or a browser extension that injects javascript?

I guess a lot of people are interested enough in an account with the handle "troll" to check my first post, but not enough to not consider the name when reviewing posts.

Yeah okay.

I expect people to know what a troll is based on cultural knowledge. I expect them to not care due to this being LW.

That's in a tree. (new posts under old ones won't be before the old ones)

No. If you look at an entry under Edward, you'll find a function for how the value is calculated. The function tells you the ingredients.

I don't mix pills/tablets into the shake because they don't mix. Salt does mix. This is also a slightly dated recipe due to weird texture/taste combinations making the shake inedible. (add more water)

Chicken tastes like shit in a shake from recent experience.

I've had an identical project for a few months now.

A spreadsheet (under Edward) for ingredients and supplements for my shake which is missing potassium and fiber. (which are provided for with KCl salt and oats) RDAs are also not fixed for 1.5x caloric intake.

This is designed with weightlifting, preparation time, mobility, and close to 3000 cals/day in mind.

Overall cost is $3.84/day/person.

Tastes like thicker strawberry milk.

Updated spreadsheet with price distribution and complete RDAs (except phosphorous/pantathenic acid). $4.36/day/person

I expect the pric... (read more)

How do you know motivation is multiplicative?

I have and I have submitted an application.

If you mean 'against people who are contrarian', no. If you mean 'for popular opinions', no.

There are a few other reasons I could be formatting my introduction that way, such as being bad at English or writing in general. I used "minimalist" both as a heads up for the format and to draw away from the other possible explanations.

No.

minimalist, 17, white, male, autodidact, atheist, libertarian, california, hacker, studying computer science, reading sequences, intellectual upbringing, 1 year bayesian rationalist, motivation deficient, focusing on skills, was creating something similar to bayesian rationality before conversion, have read hpmor (not intro to lw), interested in contributing to ai research in the future
