If it’s a meaty attack, does that mean any wakeup by the opponent will get snuffed? The opponent must block to avoid getting hit (leaving himself open to a throw)?
Also, some of these setups are different depending on whether the opponent quick rises or not. Will I be able to tell ahead of time if he is quick rising, or I need to decide which setup to use on reaction (i.e. if I see him rising quickly, I switch to the quick rise setup)?
Sorry if noob questions!

Someone on quora asked:
It’s usually good to have some level of self-awareness and mindfulness about your situation, where you are in life, where you’re going, where you want to go, what steps you have to do, etc. Just don’t let yourself get too lost in self-analysis or overthinking that you fail to take action

Someone on quora asked:
There are people who know as much as they seem, and there are people who don’t. There are people who know the tricks to look clever, but they can easily be exposed as fakers if you’re willing to dig a little deeper (which usually means only people who are genuinely clever/knowledgable can call them out!)

Repost from psych-facts:
You are the books you read the films you watch, the music you listen to, the people you meet, the dreams you have, the conversations you engage in. You are what you take from these. You are the sound of the ocean, the breath of fresh air, the brightest light and the darkest corner. You are a collective of every experience you have had in your life. You are every single second of every single day. So drown yourself in a sea of knowledge and existence. Let the words run through your veins and let the colours fill your mind.

Someone on quora asked:
Is it true that the best way to learn to program is to jump into a project?
I’d like to say yes because that’s how it is for me, but the truth is it depends largely on the person trying to learn. Different people learn in different ways, some learn better if they do a lot of reading ahead of time, while others will find it easier to just jump in and try stuff and poke around. Try different approaches and figure out what works best for you
-
Someone on quora asked:
Don’t waste your time worrying about people who aren’t helping you grow.
Develop an attitude towards learning and discovering new things.
Be kind and understanding to people, even assholes.
Every so often, walk down an unfamiliar road.
Tell your family and friends how much you appreciate them.
Exercise at least a little bit every day.
Try to improve some aspect of your life by 1% every day.
Thank people who help you and help others in return.
Don’t be seduced by pretty appearances or the lure of easy money.
Don’t insist on helping people who don’t want to be helped.
Don’t compromise yourself for the sake of other people.
-
Someone on quora asked:
It can be a little bit of both, depending on how you use it and how you view life. Don’t let being smart make you full of yourself. As long as you approach life with an attitude of there being much more to learn and discover, it’s hard to go wrong no matter how smart you are.
-
Someone on quora asked:
Not necessarily. Programmers get better with practice, good experience, and an attitude for learning.
The reason young talent is prized over old talent is that older talent tends to expect a lot more pay, and nonprogrammers typically don’t understand how much valuable a good, experienced programmer is.

Someone on quora asked:
Depends on the crowd. Sometimes you’ll feel out of place. You have to resist the urge to correct people all the time (many people don’t like it). You have to avoid sounding like a smartass. You have to know when it is appropriate to use your smarts.

Someone on quora asked:
Could technology develop infinitely faster using a simulation?
It would depend on the problems you are trying to solve. If they can be solved by brute-forcing all the possibilities within a given scope, then yes computer programs can help solve them. Typically however, any problem that would be solvable by this method already has been solved.
Also, it will only work for problems that can be perfectly simulated. For most physical experiments this is not feasible; since the computer program can only simulate what humans know well enough to be able to input that data into a computer. Quantum mechanics tells us that there will always be uncertainty at the quantum level so perfect simulations are not possible. In theory, simulations might be able to help narrow the scope of a problem though.

Someone on quora asked:
How do you know what to do with your life if you don’t know what you want in life?
A vast majority of people in the world don’t really know what to do in life or what they want in life. They/we all just kind of stumble along to where life takes us. Many people take up a degree in college only because they believe that course will lead them to a good job, so they can get promoted to a high position, get married, raise a family, etc. Most people are on this “default path” that society provides instead of figuring out what they really want to do or where their passions lie. Many people live their entire lives not finding a passion or what they want in life.
So don’t worry too much if you are finding it difficult to find out what you want in life, because most people are in that state. The difference between you and other people is you are aware of it, that you want more in life but are not yet sure what that something is.
Explore life. Say yes to more random encounters. Take up new opportunities when they appear. Increase the scope of your activities. Do all these things to increase the odds that you will be able to find and figure out what you want in life.

Someone on quora asked:
How can you read and study a large software project source code?
Attacking a large, existing codebase that you are unfamiliar with can be a daunting endeavor. Don’t expect that you will be able to easily navigate the codebase quickly after just a few days of studying it. Familiarity will come with experience.
Some things that can help:
- Don’t try to understand everything all at once. Figure out what is interesting to you and focus your efforts there
- Follow the path of data. Easiest way to see how the program works. For example, if I were studying a web application that processes request parameters to generate a search result, I would trace how the program captures the parameters from the requests object, formulates it into a search query, sends it to the database, receives the results, formats the results, then sends it back to the browser. Looking at the typical paths through which data traverses the system can give you a good overview of where everything is.
- Try to fix a bug or implement some sort of change. If it’s an open source project, this is probably the best way to familiarize yourself with the codebase and get more involved at the same time. I’d suggest starting with minor UI bugs, those tend to be easiest to figure out since a text search of the source will often point you to where the correction needs to be made. For example, if the bug is that a particular error message is being shown under the wrong conditions, you can use a text search to find where the error message is declared, then trace all the code points that generate that message, figure out which one you need to update (probably by trial and error) and fix accordingly

Someone on quora asked:
Can I become an software engineer without CS bachelor’s degree? I’m very interest in AI and VR now.
Yes. I’ve worked more than a decade as a software engineer, my degree is in Electronics and Communications Engineering. I did take some programming classes as part of my course though.
Just be aware: The further your background is from computer science, the more work and learning you will have to put in.

Someone on quora asked:
How can I ensure that my clients will trust my new employee?
Pair him with an employee that they already trust. Say it is part of your mentoring or training program. Eventually you can wean the client off the more veteran employee

A modern day parable for the Philippines:
Mark Jr. appears before the board of directors of bank. He is applying to be their CEO.
Director A: So, why should we hire you?
Mark Jr: I have a lot of good plans for the bank, I plan to (blah, blah, blah)
Director B: Wow, this guy sounds really good! He has some good plans! We should hire him!
Director A: Wait a minute. (Looking at Mark Jr’s resume). It says here you’re the son of the Mark Sr?
Mark Jr: Yes, so?
Director A: Mark Sr stole billions from this bank when he was the CEO!
Director B: Really? I wasn’t around then.
Mark Jr: That’s not true! My father’s wealth was legitimate!
Director A: There were court decisions ordering him to pay back the money!
Director B: Well, we can’t really fault him for the sins of his father right?
Mark Jr: What he said! That was a long time ago, I was still young then. I had nothing to do with it!
Director A: You were already 20 years old at that time! Your father hired you as his assistant, how could you have nothing to do with it?
Mark Jr: I’m not the one who was convicted right?
Director A: Will you at least apologize for your father’s crimes?
Mark Jr: Why should I apologize? I can only apologize for myself.
Director A: But you admit he stole from this bank?
Mark Jr: The court already decided about that, we should just move on.
Director B: I agree, that’s the past. We should be excited about this guy’s plans for the bank
Director A: Wait a minute, your family hasn’t given back the money your father stole yet. You should give it back!
Mark Jr: I cannot give what I do not have!
Director A: Aren’t you the executor of your father’s estate?
Mark Jr: Hey let’s look to the future ok, not the past
Director B: I think we should give this guy a chance. Look at his father’s record, he did some good stuff for the bank before he stole the money.
Director A: (glares at Director B like he’s an idiot)
If it were you, would you hire Mark Jr?

Someone on quora asked:
What are some reasons to attend the University of the Philippines?
If you live in the Philippines, it’s easily the best University in the country. As compared to the other two generally considered to be tops Universities (Ateneo, DLSU), you get exposed to a wider variety of both professors and students. There is a significant culture of activism and political involvement (if that’s the sort of thing that you like) - except maybe for the College of Engineering, where I found it to be minimal. Because of the varied population of the University, there’s generally something there for everyone.

Someone on quora asked:
How do I spend and save “concentration and attention” throughout day for daily tasks?
It depends on how predictable your day is. If there is a constant risk of crises coming up as the day goes on, it becomes more difficult. Making it more complicated is that people really aren’t very good at assessing how much additional work they can take on without starting to lose focus.
In general, the best idea would probably be to do the most important things, the ones that require your most attention, early in the day when your mind is the most sharp and creative, instead of risking doing them later in the day when intervening crises may have sapped your concentration and focus.
