Covid was definitely a healthier time for me - I didn't consume a drop of alcohol for almost a year and my mother (who I was staying with) leaned into cooking so I ended up not eating a single repeated meal for almost 6 months. Did lot

I've had my ups and downs with the Beeb over the years but this is one of those moments of them just being best in class imo. With software there's no real need to take an admin fee...

Yup the more I learn music the more I'm impressed by sheet notation and realise (as someone passionate about programming language theory and also linguistics) that something that can unseat sheet notation will be a huge undertaking. Gr

Ha when you described reading things in chunk I started wondering if you were a programmer. I found that once I learned coding I started to internalise and conceptualise things about music I didn't before. The structure of music became

Didn't know that, I still don't use Instagram lol. So yeah exactly - it's easy to run a simple app with a few devs. Iirc in Singapore, Netflix has a reasonably sized team just dealing with payments. Presumably for a global bu

I tthink the reality of modern development, especially one plugged into the Meta ecosystem is that there is probably a tonne of integration work to be done. - monetization - finance - analytics - ad placement - ad bidding - android client -

If it's large enough they may pick it up - I wasn't allowed to board a flight once because they found a powerbank in my suitcase. I got stopped at security and was shown my luggage. After removing the power bank it was all good, l

I remember someone saying the difference between Physics and Computer Science is that in CS we are the masters of the universe - there are no laws of Physics that bind us. For me that means that in our world of computers there is infinite c

So they saw a large change in resistivity at 104C but what's not clear from this excerpt is why the Cu2S was a confounding factor, or isnt interesting. Is it that LK99 had impurities of Cu2S and the properties of Cu2S dominated but we

I have found that there are many aspects and dimensions to listening. For instance, I am now comfortable hearing very subtle nuance in musical performance, in particular piano performance. Meanwhile, my dad is an audiophile and not musicall

Have you got a source to read more about this? Why the choice of silver - because of its reduced reactivity vs other conductors?

Research experimentation is like doing a gymnastics performance, you're trying to prove the limits of what can be done. Industry is all about doing it cheap, consistently and at scale. So by comparison you don't want any flourish

We also don't have a culture of replication. Basically all of the post docs I worked with in the lab lamented how hard it can be to replicate reported syntheses in chemistry wet labs. Everything from humidity and altitude to undocument

The live news is unreal. It's not unique to Twitter but seeing multiple accounts of any event anywhere in the world within seconds is kind of insane. I remember when the Beirut explosion happened so quickly you had footage of what had

Yep. Don't know if you're a programmer but I think it's ultimately abstraction. When you watch kids learn to walk it's super difficult. It's a whole body act and requires a bunch of coordination/timing of the c

Took about 7 years out of the piano. After starting again I found the same issue. It was frustrating and awkward to try to play old pieces. I kept one because it was just the right level to re-engage. After a few weeks of playing things sta

I went to a UK uni but my observation was that the curve was much narrower and forgiving for humanities and then much broader for STEM. So this meant it was much more straightforward to get a top grade in STEM but on the flipside it was eas

I went to a very academic uni and my professor grumbled that while our students were all "clever" none of us knew how to make a poster. Which is also kind of important when you're doing research and presenting your findings

A long time ago I visited my ex-gf family in Guangdong and they were making "炸酱面" with homemade la-mian. The sauce didn't really have much black bean and it was mostly just minced beef and tomatoes with noodles. I was like, h

Ha I think the instant bit for many of the Asian diaspora I grew up amongst is that you don't need to make your own noodles or soup broth. (and it's all there in one package) It can be fun to do the whole shebang but it's usu

Usually people use one of processed cheese, a very very mild mozzarella or a cream cheese So it's mostly just a source of fattiness and creaminess to add that velvety texture to the sauce

I agree and I think of it another way. The day to day life and focus of many modern day olympians / world champions was probably close to the norm for many of the fighter-class. People training day in day out to hone their skills and f
