Is solving Sudoku and similar puzzles by hand really useful in building computer science ability? We don't think so.
we do not often think about why we take certain steps when deducing the value of a tile, instead reasoning retroactively about how we know it. When we solve Sudoku we do not develop a general algorithm for solving Sudoku in our heads and then execute it; instead, we solve it through a combination of intuition and creative logical reasoning, which are not well-defined or easily applicable to computers.

reading her blog is one of those times i drop my utilitarian and rational guard and try to relate to people
right away i notice how despite grappling with identity being a lifelong theme, how relatively grounded she is and how despite the chaotic mechanics of her life, like having to dance around visa issues, the impression i get is an aura of predictability; she has well-defined options at every crossroads in her life
she refers to her relatives with korean pronouns, e.g. appa, umma, halmuni.
she has taken her being a missionary kid, circumstances thrust upon her, and molded it into something she is comfortable with; her relationship with god is a given ever since her earliest posts
Hands. Earlier during worship time, I had my hands open. It just somehow felt like my hands were never big enough. I kept telling God they’re not big enough. I have them wide open because they’re not big enough. He says it’s ok. He asked me in return what if He catches all the things I cannot catch on my open hands? Open hands are hard to hold onto, what if He was the only one I was holding onto?
... God started redefining “Privilege” for me ...
"cosmopolitan" seems to be an apt-enough adjective; as she is (apparently) well-integrated with her diverse community, even if not the one she is physically in at any given point in time, and name drops various role models in her life repeatedly over the years, and with that comes a base strong enough to build upwards upon
she is confident enough in her social abilities to relish having coordinated and decorated a couple weddings
maybe life is meant to be lived this way, instead of being posed as a minmax optimization problem
