Waking up with a dry mouth is a classic sign of nighttime mouth breathing, and potentially hyperventilation. I used to always wake with a dry mouth, and often breathing heavy. If you're able to breath through your nose, I would definit

As someone who's also suffered from poor sleep, related to nasal issues, I'm curious what you've tried. Have you tried mouth taping, chin straps, or breathe right strips? How about dietary changes to reduce congestion? What a

I've long wondered why some people can get by with little or no exercise and yet seem to live relatively healthy/happy lives. My Mom who's 66 doesn't exercise, other than a little walking, and while she's overweight

Thanks, and good call, I'll reword that sentence. I wasn't trying to be disparaging, as a fellow tech nerd myself, but it does seem potentially inflammatory and not representative of everyone here. Edit: Can't edit my other p

And likewise, if Elon Musk wanted to make a Twitter clone with better free speech he could get a lot of users. What's your point, that's literally the opposite of low barrier to entry. Being Elon Musk is NOT a low barrier to entry

I think a lot of people are missing the big picture here, because they're against the trucker protest. It's actually quite possible to think the trucker protest was stupid, and incredibly damaging to locals (via noise pollution an

You're missing the idea of network effects. Yes, you an easily make a clone of Bitcoin (or other cryptos), but you cannot easily clone the network effect it has. The value of a crypto is in the network, not the code, and this value gro

Yeah, that's a very good point. This is kinda getting off into the weeds from the original point, but interesting weeds nonetheless :). This study[0] says that measuring CO2 is not enough, and that indirect calorimetry is the gold stan

Yes, please don't be that guy. I was a lead at the last startup I was at, and we hired a guy who loved to point out everything we were doing "wrong". Literally weeks into the job and he's already writing up huge docs abo

I think a big part of the issue is that popular fitness and weight loss advice has perpetuated the wrong way to exercise to loose weight. When most people think about exercise for weight loss, they imagine long exhausting sessions on the tr

A couple issues I see. The extremely abstract nature of software can make progress sometimes seem very ephemeral, and make those dopamine hits hard to find. Ever spend a week or two on a bug going in circles with no progress? It's mad

Cool to see a link to Ran's writing on here. I've followed his blog for something like 12+ years. I'm pretty sure his writings were some of my first exposure to the ideas of dropping out, primitivist philosophy, and FIRE (wer

But aren't they doing that mostly for performance via better memory layout and thus better cache locality? ie: arrays of objects vs objects of arrays. It's a sacrifice of code architecture for performance. I feel like games are ac

I never understand all the hate for certain tools. OOP is a tool, FP is a tool, and other programming paradigms are different tools. If you're bad a software architecture and you tend to write convoluted OOP software, you're proba

One question to think about is how much longer you'd need to work in your current role to never have to worry about money again. Say you were to cut your expenses to the bare minimum, invest aggressively, and stick it out there another
