I haven't been scared about interviews nearly as much as when I started. When I was getting started, I was a newbie with no degree. Now, I've got over a decade of experience with no degree. Granted, I haven't interviewed a lo

Thank you for the very interesting breakdown. Regarding LASIK, I got my surgery in 2009, at 21 years of age. At the time I only did enough research to know to find a reputable surgeon in my area, and no more. Nowadays I would probably Googl

I usually just get started hacking out a prototype of what's in my head, and then Google for information as questions, ideas, or uncertainties come up. I still end up diving into best practices, existing approaches, etc, but more incre

I think this is a version of what I do via blogging. When I learn something new, writing a blog post about it tends to help it stick better as well as exposing and clarifying remaining misunderstandings.

I don't think I'd ever try anything as extreme as that, but inducing mild inflammation is used in various less potentially crippling situations as well. One example is microneedling of the skin. Inducing damage to the skin through

When I was a child cod liver was a staple. My mom would spread it on a piece of bread. It's creamy and oily enough to not need any butter. Even as a fairly picky child, I always found it delicious and could go through countless of thes

I've got one primary laptop and one secondary work laptop. I've got a couple of old laptops stashed away that are still usable, but have been surpassed by the primary laptop and haven't been booted in over a year.

For me, this is more like a guideline to aim for, not a rule to die by. I aim to make my code as simple as reasonable while also striving not to compromise _too_ much on performance. If some feature just requires more complexity than a juni

No, I'm pretty sure this is cast iron: "The raw material in Ultra Light Original is exactly the same as for our traditional cast iron. The difference is that with the new technique, the pans are less porous. This explains why the

I think that trying to do this for wild animals, aside from being highly impractical, can cause unintended side effects. For example, one well known account of the positive effect of carnivores on their environment has been the story of the

I'm definitely no pan expert, but I think there are now cast iron options that heat up very quickly, so maybe one doesn't have to compromise on that. I've had a Ronneby Bruk "ultra light" cast iron pan for years and

For some reason I always thought that for most cooking you want the pan to be at the desired final temperature before throwing in the ingredients anyway to get the optimum taste and texture.

I don't know how much money I have saved over the years by just switching to an epilator. Women's disposable razors tend to be even more expensive than men's where I live; it's always felt like a rip-off. On the topic of

I have just realized that I may not have seen the Bambi movie I thought I saw as a child, because I could swear I remember seeing some of the scenes this article claims never made it into the film. I remember the oak leaf conversation from

This makes me happy to read. It's not perfect (location-based pay), but it seems like a really great setup overall. Over the pandemic I have learned that I _love_ remote work and now work remotely full time. It's been a game chang

Finally! I hope they will introduce more granular privacy features down the line, but this is a great first step. I am now tempted to merge my secondary account into my private one, but with this being a beta I'm not quite sure if it&#

No, it is just "binance.com". I have seen others use this method of advertising, but in that case they seem to always send traffic to the home page or specific posts/pages. Probing sensitive endpoints like a malicious actor w

Yes, it is the root domain. Wasn't sure if there might be some other reason for them picking Binance specifically or if it's just some crypto enthusiast messing around. The latter seems like it might be the likeliest explanation b
