   I think taking notes to remember important things is just in our nature. I have yet to find a piece of note taking software that will prevent my opening up a dozen Notepad instances and leaving them open (unsaved) for all eternity... I take

   My paychecks technically go to my company, then I pay myself a small portion of that. The rest of it gets put into a company buffer (which I am still building up) and taxes. Once the buffer is built up sufficiently I'll start investing

   Getting a blood pressure monitor. This just happened a few weeks ago. I've been trying to get into the habit of meditating for years, but always very half-heartedly and never being able to stick with it. I bought a blood pressure monit

   I think that depends very much on the person. It really does make sense that sharing with people who care about you would be beneficial, but it really doesn't seem to work for me. If I tell my goal even to someone who is close to me to

   Don't tell people your goals. I heard this in a TED talk years ago[0]. Telling people what you plan to do can evoke the same emotions as actually doing that thing, lowering the drive to do the work to accomplish the goal because you go

   I've brought peripherals in the past. Not because of germs, but just because I preferred my own equipment and my studio did not offer trackballs as a standard equipment option.

   I use the Zoho $1 plan for one of my domains and have no complaints with it so far.

   The problem with bowls isn't just the normally very small size of the bowl, but the shape itself. Being tapered toward the top, there is not enough surface area to properly oxygenate the water for the fish. That in itself is reason eno

    This is a very broad generalization that doesn't actually seem to be accurate. We know that there are benefits to tracking your blood pressure at home, for example[0]. In addition, and closer to the topic in the original link, there ar

    There hasn't been much of a social life in general. I've been largely self isolating since 2020. I was just starting to get back out into the world as I began this remote role, then omicron hit and I decided to stay home and wait

    Does "enough overlap" have to mean a full workday, or is there an option for you to be a couple of hours offset? I work remotely with most people being in other time zones. My "core hours" are still in my time zone. Nobo

    Just trial and error mostly, and digging through example code. And learning to google. I always thought everyone just knew how to look for solutions to their problems online, but when observing others learning to code I realized this is not

    There's not really any need to go through emails by Outlook admins, since anyone can fill out the form and get access to the names and salaries of the participants. My impression is that the form fill-out is only needed to incentivize

    What you described doesn't really sound like poaching, but I think this is normal and it is pretty much how I built my career into the direction I wanted. When I was a build engineer and wanted to do more tools work, I picked up tool t

    I agree with you. I just moved from working with Go (which I think is quite intuitive to learn and is loved by many, OP, so I suggest you take a look at it) to JavaScript. After years of working with statically typed languages it was a fun

    I've been using Waking Up for a couple of years after not being able to get into Headspace. Something about the voice and style just works better for me in Waking Up. I still did not start regularly doing the daily sessions until recen

    For me, it's Go, probably hosted on AWS. I've been building my productivity with TypeScript and JS as well, but I'm still a bit less sure of my skills there so I wouldn't say it's the most productive. I'm getti

    I hope you enjoy your Fixie (and find an apartment with nice bike paths!) I have a little folding Brompton that's served me well over the years, and a beefier e-bike that was a life-saver last year when I didn't want to take publi

    I sympathize, but don't really feel like your comment addresses anything I said. Maybe I didn't get my message across very well in my comment, so I'll try to clarify it here: My point is not that all Americans should suddenly

    I read these types of arguments a lot from people who live in places where cycling is not the norm. They tend to read like strange nitpicks in light of how common it is for people of ages to cycle in different types of weather. 5 miles does

    Thanks. I have read good things about that model, but don't think it's available in my country. But I was looking into a Coway Storm AP-1516D last year, and didn't end up pulling the trigger since there were just too many opt

    I think that largely makes sense, but also think the _biggest_ jump in cat food quality isn't so much the jump to freshness but the jump away from dry. Cats who eat primarily dry food are at risk of chronic dehydration. They simply do

    I wouldn't call something hypochondria just because I personally haven't had to deal with it. It's really great that you've never had this issue and I hope you never have to, but if we're going by anecdotes, there a

    Sorry to hear about your cat. I hope he's OK now. It was really unfortunate because mine was blocked after an otherwise routine surgery, after which the vet warned us that it might take him longer to go to the litter box! So at first w
