Non-Social in a Socially Networked World

  • I wish I was smart enough to understand the problem and the solution

    I took computer science and had to learn combinatorics and boolean functions. I’ll have to file this under the, “If You Don’t Use It You Lose It” part of my brain. I just don’t remember anything beyond the basics to understand the problem or the solution. I should have kept studying. A paper posted online…
