That site is the one I used to get started with JS many moons ago when all they offered were that, HTML, and CSS. It's a fantastic resource that I can't recommend enough.

Agreed. It's bizarre, but I also know a large proportion of the population get their nutritional information nowadays from tenuously referenced YouTube/Facebook/TikTok videos by unqualified authors, so perhaps not surprising.

Agreed. I'm much less liberal with my estimates with external stakeholders than I am with close associates, purely for political reasons. If I say 8 weeks to my team, I'll say 11 to management/others. I get no benefit out of

If anything, you might be better with a food like Mussels/Clams/Oysters. They have the lowest levels of mercury [1], and if you're so ethically inclined, some of the lowest capacity for pain or sentience in the animal kingdom

Keep in mind I'm in the UK, so I think it functions very differently than in the states. Religion is already a prominent part of the culture there, whereas here I don't know a single person my age that has gone to church since the

It's a shame that heavy government intervention has made meat markedly cheaper than it has any right to be. It's unlikely we'd even be having the conversation about reducing meat consumption if it wasn't artificially pri

I've been using an Intel NUC 11 for the past year and it's treated me very well. Small form factor, and relatively low power usage although I've forgotten exactly how much.

I always say to people that CrossFit is my church, and while I say it with mild sarcasm, internally it is true. Everyday I turn up, see the same people, build a community to the extent we do socials, help each other out with all manner of t

Frankly, yes, they do fix themselves. You'd be utterly shocked at what landscapes look like if we leave them. Having been part of forest regeneration efforts across the UK for the past 8 years - from southern heathlands to rocky Welsh

As others have mentioned, be sure to write bunch of headers of what you're actually going to write, then work from there. Start by giving each section a title, then each sub section, then each paragraph. Below each title, give a one li

Correct. The vast majority of US cattle are grain fed/finished. "If all the grain currently fed to livestock in the United States were consumed directly by people, the number of people who could be fed would be nearly 800 million,

Agreed. Certainly within the UK, we're infamous for our sugar coating and nonchalant understatements. Politeness is the word in terms of business transactions or discussion, and I've found it often hampers everyone in reaching the

Unless you're being sarcastic, we must work in very different places. I can't tell you how many times I've had discussions with colleagues at different roles about our Nootropics stack.

Mundane, draconian bureaucracy is about as British as beans on toast. HMSC is just keeping the time honoured tradition alive.

See their statement on it below. Inciting violence against others is against their ToS, and his comments about marching on the capitol building were interpreted by the team responsible for banning accounts that break ToS (presumably a speci

After nearly 100 years we've come full circle and the Elizabeth line is opening, connecting Reading and the town's West on London to the city through to Shenfield - although perhaps still not on the scale they originally pictured.

The Elves make an excellent podcast that I highly recommend to others.

For wealthy people who can afford multiple properties, and to up and move whenever they please, why would rising sea levels matter to them? Both properties could collapse into a sinkhole tomorrow and it would be a mere annoyance. The fact t

From my very basic understanding as an interested electronic engineer, while symptomatically pulmonary for the most part, COVID is a largely cardiovascular disease. Medical professionals please correct me if I'm wrong, but I've re

One of my favourite book shops is in Brixton, London. It piled floor to ceiling in a place opposite the markets, and there's a book in the back with comfy sofas, a store cat, and a very hippy dippy owner who loves a natter about what h

It's frustrating in a way. Perhaps I'm in the minority, but I'd say my well graded Master's Thesis on a complex subject from a top university is much more telling about the type of work I'll create than an hour long

I see a lot of disenfrachised, highly skilled software engineers in this thread that I think would be very well welcomed into the electronics industry if they spent a few weeks trying their hand at using those skills for embedded systems. A

I likewise had a similar experience on the other side of the Atlantic with British universities. The goal for top achievers was always Oxford, Cambridge, or Imperial. I ended up significantly under-achieving on the grades my mock exams and

Say what you will about how they spend their best years, but they still come from hatcheries where 50% of the population upon hatching are gassed or dropped live off the end of a conveyor belt into a macerator. Equally, they end their life

Thanks, I've followed that for future listening! When I'm doing "light" work or studying I'm partial to short stints like the Pomodoro method. What the podcast author has done is very clever with the melding of play

To piggy back off your comment, for people with a disposition for electronic music I've curated a playlist over the past 6 or 7 years of largely lyricless progressive house, techno, and electronica that helps me enter a "flow stat

Could not agree more. Time and time again I've seen people broach taboo topics on various media and walk away unscathed, often lauded if anything for their tact. Likewise, I've seen many people do the same with an air of arrogance

Agreed. I just finished reading "the English and their history" by Robert Tombs, along with many of the references he uses, and I was frankly shocked at how little revenue from the colonial era was generated abroad. I highly recom

As a member of a "professional" structure and a relatively new grad, you're not wrong on either account. I sit on calls all day with people 2-3x my age that swoon over WFH because they get to do their kids school run and don&

I'm in the same boat. I've worked at a big silicon company for the past year and a bit. Make a hell of lot more, work from home, and have hated every minute when I know, if it weren't for WFH, I'd love it. I was in the m
