Another preachy diet article? Oh joy. I read a journal article saying the opposite to this one, just 2 weeks ago; how it's not how much you eat, but what you eat and when (protein and fats in the morning, carbs in the evening - which f

I do the same, but set aside 2 hours every weekend to go back and review all the links I saved that week. Important ones, I do a write up summary of the content and it goes in my notes for future reference. Non-important ones get archived.

Wow. That's an incredible read.

Interesting timing for this post - I'm studying this for a new job at the moment and building myself my own little Wikipedia in order to learn it. 10BASE uses Manchester Encoding, 100BASE uses Non-Return-to-Zero, Invert-on-one (NRZI) e

This is one of those business ideas that I must have had around the same time, but never pursued because I was studying; figured engineering would make me more more than selling mushroom growing kits and spores ever would. I had a large set

In my work team everyone universally calls a product getting axed "getting Googled", and there's no confusion on meaning. I suspect as Google loses market share to other search engines over the next few decades, we'll st

From my experience, yes. I did about an hour a day total - 20 minutes on waking, 20 minutes at lunch, and 20 minutes before I go to sleep. 3 years ago, I didn't know a lick of Spanish. Now when I go, I can be a translator for my friend

This makes for a great writing prompt. In some ways, you're describing the Warhammer 40k universe. The people of that world don't necessarily "reject" technology, but any understanding of it is lost, and things are maint

Certain crimes exempt you from UK the Rehabilitation of Offenders act, so would come up in a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check. Rape and pedophilia convictions would be in those exemptions as far as I know, although I am no legal e

Not OP, so I'm guessing purely on my knowledge of how most of the industry works, but there's likely some sort of FPGA with custom IP at the center, connected to a powerful optical transmitter/receiver. Associated reading can

It will be whatever the latest node is at completion, so most likely Intel 3 or Intel 20A [1]. It was Pat Gelsinger's pledge to get Intel's node roadmap back on track when he joined as CEO just under 2 years ago. From what they&#x

That's sort of my point. It's something I've noticed in articles in the past year or so. This ballet around sticking to their free market principles, while also distancing themselves from discussing the matter when it fails.

I'll strongly opposed that notion. I've been an avid subscriber for just under 10 years, so not as long but long enough. I do truly believe that in the last 1-2 years the "market-based, socially progressive, pragmatic interna

I've discussed how I think the quality has decline elsewhere in the thread, but in short, they flip-flop so as to be on the "correct" side of the conversation too often instead of admitting fault, their UK/EU commentary

I've found it to be pretty on par with the Economist, but more US focused with a bit more clickbait. I've read some great articles on there, but wouldn't be in any rush to subscribe.

I put the Jacobin there to make it clear I'm open to good writing from anywhere on the political spectrum. I've read some good stuff from them, and drivel in equal measure, but I find the same with the Economist. I'm looking

Excellent, thanks for this. If I had the funds, I'd read everything from Adweek to Zeit Online, but paywalls mean I can only pick one or two.

The way they discuss the UK/EU dynamic rankles me. They spend an inordinate amount of time complaining about Europe, while talking about the UK as if it's on the cusp of a new age. I also loathe their coverage of the UK budget. It

You find a hell of a lot of lifers in the semiconductor industry from my experience. Intel, TSMC, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, IBM, ARM etc. It seems to tick all the boxes I guess. Fulfilling work, decent pay, good benefits, and plenty of room fo

Don't make assumptions; I'm well aware. I was deployed to an RAF station there for a number of months, my fathers side of the family are all passionate Catholic Irish republicans, and my mother all served in NI during the Troubles
