It is good practice to store your media locally, espcially for something you'll consume more than once. It keeps the costs down on the remote server, which in the long run provides a better experience for the user.
I do not have constant internet access. Furthermore mobile internet is very expensive. I can just run a bash script on my terminal emulator that checks if I'm on a known wifi network and runs my downloads and copies them to proper folder.
This way I can listen to music without the internet and/or without requiring that i leave my screen open and on the youtube app.
A symbol is your string applied as the argument to an algorhtym that returns a deterministic interger. The interger is smaller and easier to sort and compare, making many common operations more efficient.
I have severe adhd. I've always loved reading. I can and often do read all day long. I'm currently reading war and peace for the third time. I read lots of philosophy, history, in-depth medical and comp science.
Constant internet access and video games put me in a mental mode where I end up with a really short attention span, and cannot bear spending more than 5 minutes on a task that does not provide an interactive feedback loop. After a few days without the instant gratification of the modern web and vidya, I can usually snap back into a mindset that allows me to study, ponder, and pursue goal-oriented activities.
I've found that the controlled binge model works best for me. I am usually very conscientious about my diet, exercise routine, sleeping hours, and drug and e-stim intake. About every 3 - 6 months, however, i'll go on a two week video game bender. It actually seems to help my mental acuity and focus after my controlled binge is over.
