> The sad thing is I can get 3 hours of sleep or 12 and I'll wake up and not feel rested. Usually this translates to a thick brain fog (any effective OTC "sleep aid" just makes this worse) and I can hardly think straight f

The video itself was quite off-putting when I first saw it. He didn't even just kindly offer her flowers. He _tricked_ her into taking them by making it sound like he just wanted her to hold them for him. She was actually being kind to

Do you think it is possible that the longer sleep period that is usually associated with illness is a sign of a sleep crash for you? Like, maybe sleeping 2-3 hours per night eventually finally catches up to you physically and you need a lon

I have gotten into writing and self-publishing fiction. It's not as physically tangible as moving into farming or woodworking, but feels far enough from programming to sort of count in this same category. When (re)-discovering that I r

As a reviewer, I feel the pressure to leave five star reviews even when I did not have a five star experience because it seems like even just leaving a four star might hurt the venue since nothing lower than 5 is acceptable. I try to fight

I would not say this was an outright _abusive_ boss, but a weird boss that did some things I thought were inappropriate. This was in my first game dev job many years ago and while at the time I did not think much of it, in retrospect it was

This is very well done! Really fun data to draw people in coupled with genuinely interesting, educational voice-over.

I think page padding is more a thing in self publishing. I'm part of a few fiction writer communities and longer (in general) makes more money. You are advised to start with short stories and graduate to novels as soon as possible. Thi

Some places provide the opportunity to choose between being a contractor and an employee through a third party local company. In my country, my accountant and financial advisor strongly recommended I stay a contractor through my own company

I don't think you need to worry - those people probably don't want a presumptuous grump judging their living choices as a coworker either :)

I live in a 48sqm apartment and never even thought about this. I work usually either from my little desk and kneeling chair in my bedroom or my couch. My remote coworkers at different levels have all kinds of stuff in their backgrounds - pe

I started using it about a week or two ago after someone linked a post called "Augmenting Long-Term Memory"[0] in another thread here. I've been reviewing daily and have already noticed knowledge that I was beginning to forge

I also think I'm missing something in this piece. Loneliness and lack of social connection can be crippling and it's a very serious problem. But I'm not sure I understand why the author thinks they're unique in their cir

My daily notes and TODOs are all now in Workflowy. It's not really a journal, just a bunch of bullet points with tasks or random links. The closest to a journal I have is my blog, which I write in markdown and store in a private GitLab

I usually carry my passport as well (though now I also have a national ID card which I think can take its place within the EU while traveling). But I don't think that being able to travel with the thing is a requirement for it to be ac

I feel more comfortable with statically typed languages, but in the end they're all just different tools for the job. I switched from years of C# and Go (back to) to JavaScript recently. I use TypeScript wherever I can, but it's n

I had an experience as a child where I _suspect_ my parents and I may have been taken advantage of by a dentist, and this article makes me think that it's not such an improbable thought. Every single time my parents took me for a 6-mon

That's how I view it as well. There are some parts of the stack where I am more proficient than others, but I know I'm able to onboard pretty quickly to start solving problems regardless of whether it's frontend, backend, inf

Thank you especially for linking the Augmenting Long-Term Memory post. I'm just on the part going through the author's usage of Anki and it has already inspired me to download the client and try it myself as well. I don't thi

Sorry for the non-answer answer I'm about to give, but I don't really think you should have to keep these things in memory. At some point it becomes a waste of memory space (at least that's how I experience it). There ARE som

Thank you for the rundown on Jonathan Blow. I've worked in game development for over a decade and am familiar with his games and accomplishments, but maybe it'll be useful to someone else. If you want to direct a question to the a
