I have worn a Garmin watch with HR monitor for months at a time off and on for the last few years. My resting heart rate while sleeping is typically 64-68 without alcohol and 65-85 after drinking several glasses of wine. There is such a ma

IMO, pointers are less difficult to comprehend than other abstractions, like lambdas are. If you know how to walk down a street and stop at the right street number, then you have used pointers. And if you've ever observed that one tal

Where I live now, I'm 1-6 hours by train from Berlin, Amsterdam, Paris, and a bunch of other cool cities. Not having to drive to "go out" is awesome. Giving up cars usually means getting good public transport. That's a

My last home in the US was near a ski resort in Colorado, and it was a fantastic life - incredible mountain biking in the summer, and of course snow skiing in the winter. It was truly heaven. That was before remote work was as common as i

The world, particularly the US, is full of over-promised marketing that borders on outright lying. How many products and services on the market in the US use bold names and labels to suggest or even directly state a feature that in actualit

That article does not make it clear if there was actually no human in the driver's seat. It says two men died, and it says there was a person in the front passenger seat and a person in the back seat. That implies, by omission, that

I think that means, for example, a Tesla autopiloted car on the highway has 1/10 the accidents that other cars have, in the same scenario. Obviously one must ignore all the places where the autopilot is not appropriate if one wants to

Unfortunately that risk is very much in play even without stock trading. Politicians often appear to be working purely to stay in office and gain whatever side benefits they can along the way, and to establish a very lucrative lobby landin

Let me phrase the question differently: How much money is enough if you already have $100M and to gain more, you have to manipulate and cheat? But even without changing the question, $100M invested in a very low risk manner will generate co

Aggregation and curation lists have implicit value. You are reading these posts on such a thing right now.

Wow! You have just made me aware of a potentially good use of Grammarly. Until now I had assumed Grammarly was for people who should have learned to write better in school. I wonder if there's a Dutch Grammarly? :P

I actually see that same typo or misspelling a lot. I suspect sometimes it is an non-EFL issue.

What PG also conveniently failed to mention was how the money shuffle results in a few people getting very wealthy (less specifically because they had a good idea and executed it well). Money Flow: Public Investors, Mutual Funds V Investor

Perhaps the lack of measurable benefits was because the total sleep was still well under what we believe humans need. Also the period of improvement was merely days. Maybe benefits take longer to begin to show.

Those are all sarcasm. I suspect it's the last one that bothers you the most. However, keep in mind that Google has a monopoly on Android app delivery. (Yes, we will ignore the alternatives because they are not reasonably accessible

The point is that the brain is the essential point of initiation of muscle movement, and it is an essential part of the sensory feedback loop which then leads to muscular adjustments. The ability to focus without fail is not unlimited. Whe

What many here may not realize is that amongst certain groups in the US, people are not exposed to complete information. And in cases where they are, it tends to create cognitive dissonance with the narratives they have heard repeated freq

Remember that it’s your brain driving the coordinated electrical signals (and maintaining steadily increasing strength of those signals) which makes the muscles do the work. Your brain needs recovery time.

If you focus on the big three - squats, deads, and bench press - and you only do one of those per day at the gym, then it only takes an hour total. Time under load is about 20 minutes, and the rest is rest. I read books or even take my lapt

If your goal is to get swole (sorry couldn’t help myself), then higher rep lower weight sets with shorter rest periods is the way. But if you want to be as strong as possible and stay in a weight category (best strength to bodyweight ratio)

That's really for you, and I mean no disrespect or judgement. But at some point in the future you'll have a need to "do something" again. Maybe after you've built a family and put them all into motion, you'll

The issue here is that in an honestly positive scenario, the family concept is good. But in a manipulative scenario, it is bad. When I was 22 and taking on my first development job, I would have loved to have a family-centric groups of sma

You don't have to watch much TV (series, streamed) to imagine what is possible these days. Frankly, if you cross the wrong connected person, you are effectively subjected to rules outside the normal law. It's very wrong, but it&#

"not much" is a matter of perspective. In a workday, I have a lot of interactions. And then I thankfully have periods of 2-4 hours at a time when I don't talk to anyone. As a developer, at least with my limited attention sp

This is a depressingly accurate assessment of the last 30 years. The only hope I hold is that people with shared creative interests will eventually prevail. The pessimist in me also considers that the allowed monopolies will then buy up tho
