   Cool idea. I might pay $10-$15 for something like this on Udemy.

   Me too. Multiple iCloud backup restores, a couple Apple Watch erase and re-pair cycles, many hours wasted.

   Parent with two young kids here. I find it's quality over quantity. A sound 4-5 hours is far preferable to a broken 7-8 hours.

   Hi Irenie, awesome you've dropped in here! As a long-time contact lens wearer who has at time been lax with hygiene best-practice (often I drop a lens in the basin, pick it our and rinse off with saline solution), I was a little alarme

   I doubt this, dailies are very noticeably thinner and less rigid than monthlies.

   That would make sense. In which case the real risk might be from rising the lens and then inserting it. Getting exposed to water when already inserted in the eye (ie. shower or swimming) might be less risky, unless the water somehow penetra

   As a contact lens wearer for almost 20 years, I wasn't aware of this. I regularly swim and shower with lenses in my eyes. I'd really like to understand what role the lenses play in the infection occurring. Presumably an eye withou

   Likewise. The ZeroMQ book such a pleasure to read, has to be one of the best written tech books I've ever read. I learned so much about distributed systems from that book, even though I've got a PhD in the subject.

   Agreed. It's a web app that should be a protocol. The tent.io guys were thinking in the right direction, but they didn't seem to really get much traction.

    It might be dependent on what was eaten. Of you eat a carb-heavy meal, and you are very insulin-responsive, then you can feel tired afterwards. Try skipping carbs at lunch, stick with protein+fat, see if that makes a difference.

    I've relocated overseas before (and returned). Never again, now I know the impact to health and finances.

    I'm so glad I found a therapist for my burnout, as she introduced me to mindfulness meditation and it had the same impact for me at the parent poster. The 'Mindfulness' app has decent free guided meditations, but I highly rec

    I've bought them, can confirm the PDFs are print quality. Haven't checked the .epubs or .mobis yet but based on their file sizes they contain high-res images.

    What effects do you experience in lifting performance vs. eating beforehand?

    Totally agree, and also breakfast is the 'easiest' meal to skip as well, along with mooted benefits of extending your overnight fast.

    > You are starting off the day in surplus. Generally breakfast comes after a 10-12 hour fast for most people, so I don't think this is the way to think of it.

    Thanks, good to be able to put this and the author in some context, though the science should stand for itself.

    Can anyone comment on what the uptake of QML is like? Or are most still sticking with the traditional C++/Widgets approach? Are there any major limitations to using pure QML?

    Here in Australia we have the semi-serious phrase "taking a mental health day" which is exactly what you describe :)
