I originally thought I was a night owl as well. I think it was for other reasons though and there is a legitimate benefit that is unique to mornings. It has a lot to do with lifestyle. It's not an exact science and there's not a

Also, meetings first thing in the morning isn't exactly a productive, mind engaging activity. That would make pretty much anybody want to go back to sleep. It has to be something that benefits you that you are excited about achieving

Can't really rely on an example like this because of Selection Bias and Survivorship Bias.

Not sure about references but the general consensus I have seen and heard, and is congruently in my own life as well, is that willpower is at its strongest in the morning and as the day goes on we experience "decision fatigue" tha

Early rising isn't so much what time you wake up as it is waking up early enough so you have time to yourself before you have to go into the office or start your day job. The important thing is your first few hours after waking go to y

What are the performance implications of this? Does the proxy employ a VDOM cache? How does this compare to running the DOM manipulations natively inside the main thread?

Maybe people should embrace diversity, agree to disagree, and stop forcing their views on others. Democracy was never meant to legitimize oppression of minority views. The "heartland" is also biased to things like food production

Companies have a responsibility to ensure the workplace is not a hostile environment that discriminates, no matter the political leaning of the locality. Enforcement in Silicon Valley tends to let bad actors from the left have lots of leewa

Is it ideological speech though? The issue is more subtle than that. What Google is doing seems much closer to a public service IMO. The question in my mind is, based on Google's positioning in the market how much does "common

This article makes me wonder if adding FPGA units to existing CPUs and GPUs that integrate with existing silicon makes a lot more sense than having a completely separate FPGA.

Yes, it's an apple to oranges comparison, but the point is more why are we using an orange when an apple will suffice? The real question is, is all that really needed? We keep building abstraction layers on top of abstraction layers wh

How does the client and security work? What protections are there against using a host's IP for malicious activity? Would be nice to take advantage of my 1080ti and excess solar generation I have right now.

It seems like hardware is moving away from RISC and even CISC architectures in favor of lots of different types of silicon for specialized applications (GPU, machine learning, vision, DSP, hashing, encryption, SIMD). It makes sense from a h

This is very nice. If I might add a suggestion, it takes a while to fine the number of the chord. For example, if I'm trying to figure out what 1-4-5-1 would be, I have to hunt until I find the 4 and 5. Would be cool if there was ano
