Love this. The example wasn't scary enough but it's pretty fun

Yes absolutely. Not only that but plenty of our food passes through undigested whatsoever. In theory we can't control that so we can only measure calories ingested, not calories absorbed but it hopefully sheds light on the fact that th

Could you elaborate on what you mean? What does methane have to do with this and what is the "out" column? Calorimetry is just measuring the heat transfer from combustion, usually by measuring the temperature change of a known qua

I'm not convinced calorimetry is particularly useful for any nuanced diet planning. We can't eat wood (or coal) but they're very calorific when measured via bomb calorimetry.

We're all just animals on this floating rock in space, and meaning is what we ascribe to the series of events that comprise our lives. I personally resonate with the notion of shokunin which essentially is about honing a craft, and ult

I'm not surprised. It's extremely accessible in ways I wouldn't necessarily find engaging anymore given my very scarce time for watching media but that kind of accessibility is perfect for a show in a desired second language

They definitely do some things better. Taobao's shop by image is pretty game changing. Whether or not they were the first to do it, they seem to be the most successful iteration of it. I feel like Chinese UX flows tend to be more clunk

We all stand on the shoulder of giants? Should every engineer rediscover the Turing machine and the Von Neumann architecture?

Just to add to your point, both Mozart and Chopin were known to hand copy JS Bach's well tempered clavier preludes and fugues

Does it leave money on the table? Genuine question... Would traditional media have been able to produce Squid Games? I remember Disney suddenly falling over themselves to "Me Too" that they did the Korean thing too. I can see for

Not quite on the subject of sports, but in Singapore sometimes it's really hard to pay to stream/download random movies/shows. Territorial rights just don't make sense anymore and I will die on this hill. The whole point

I've always wondered about this, turns out there's a wikipedia entry for it > To protect the South Korean culture industry, the South Korean Ministry of Culture received a substantial budget increase, allowing for the creation

I guess so but it also has slower lines too especially for comedic delivery. The cultural references are good (now dated because Friends is 20-30 years old) because after learning a language, cultural references are next when it comes to fu

Thanks I'll take a look. It will be funny if I end up with a Taiwanese accent around my Dongbei in laws but I've spent enough time in china to remember the mainland accent tbh

As someone who wants to learn Chinese, I think about it all the time. Watching Chinese shows just isn't as fun for whatever reason. I was telling my wife the other day I have met so many people who credit Friends for why they can speak

I have been using Clojure and before that Racket using only vim and vim-surround for almost a decade now. I am sure I have left some productivity on the table not investing in workflows like cider etc but I have gotten a decent workflow usi

Just because they're rich doesn't mean that they can or will fund features like this if they can't justify the business case for it. Amazon is a business and frugality is/was a core tenet. Just because they can put Alexa

One day during my vim journey I discovered filters and realised I could turbo charge my editing by running selections through any and all of unix and now I don't need fancy spacing plugins - I have `column` and I can `sort` This then a

I think I had focus issues probably coming from playing too much videogames when I was young and it took 2-3 years to fully reset and achieve a real level of focus. I was able to compound that when I didn't have a proper smart phone fo

I'll go one step further. A gram of sugar in an orange is not the same as a gram of sugar in a teaspoon. Medium matters - that sugar in an orange is dissolved in the juice which is locked in the pulp. Who knows what the bioavailability

Someone close to me told me they chose to have two kids because they didn't want the burden and responsibility of caring for their parents to fall solely onto one child.

The Japanese take cleaning seriously. The other day I was at a hotel and I saw the hotel front desk staff cleaning the elevator door track late at night. Their approach to floors and feet is one of my favourite things about Japan. No shoes

Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I think you've addressed to some degree what I was trying to think around. That art may be difficult to evaluate in its time. Monet may have been a counter culture artist in his time but today he has a
