Fellow "minimalist" shoe walker/runner here. Running with a forefoot strike makes sense as the idea is to tilt forward slightly and basically use gravity to help pull you forward, naturally landing on your fore-to-midfoot. I

I moved from post-Soviet Ukraine to Alabama in 1999 and started school in grade 6 in the US. For the first 3 years or so my entire math class seemed like just a rehash of things we had already learned in Ukraine. I failed in taking math stu

Mine is http://liza.io You probably shouldn't read it. It is a mixture of posts about my life and my simulation projects.

We got fancy ergonomic chairs when moving offices a few years ago and immediately after the move I developed back pain. I tried adjusting the chair and we even had trained professionals come to help us adjust them, but it didn't seem t

The Color of Distance by Amy Thomson. I read it in middle school, although they later removed it from our library as it had some explicit themes. It was an amazing escape into an alien world, and an amazing alien species/civilization t

It definitely does go above 140 fairly quickly during exercise, and easily goes over 100 when walking. I have consulted a cardiologist as I mentioned as recently as a year or so ago. I went because this was something that was not really fo

Thank you for your input. I am already 31 and when I got this checked out the doctors did say my heart rate was faster than normal, but just didn't find a cause. I'm hoping that it is as you say - still relatively normal! My blood

I was diagnosed with tachycardia when I was a child, during a mysterious illness that hospitalized me and that is suspected to have been a cytokine storm. I recently got my heart checked out (about a year ago). They never found the cause. I

Best of luck to you; we should remember to sync up in a few months to see how things went.

I am in Europe; here it is common to have a probation period. After this period it is less easy to fire someone, but during the period they can do pretty much anything. So if you happen to be switching jobs right in the middle of an economi

I am in a similar boat. Resigned just before this hit. I am still working out my notice at my current job and my new employer assures me everything is fine, but I still feel like I picked the craziest possible time to finally move after eig

I am growing a vegetable garden in my apartment and last weekend I stocked up on bleach and disinfected my entire apartment. These two are mostly just to make me feel better and manufacture any sort of semblance of control. In more useful a

Not a professional so some of my terminology may be wrong, but here is how I understand it: after your immune system fights off a virus it often develops 'antibodies' to fight off the same virus if it should encounter it again. We

But the original comment said SK is now testing fewer people, so how do we know the active case numbers are under control?

I feel like this is what Sweden is doing without saying it. They have stopped testing anyone except the elderly, severely ill, or healthcare professionals. It kind of seems like they'll just expect most of us to get it with only mild s

I have a Roomba s9 and a Dyon v10 in a 48sqm apartment. The Roomba does not replace the Dyson, but in terms of floors the Dyson is mostly reserved for spot-cleaning. The S9 gets all the edges, and goes around each table and chair leg (thoug

I'm working on parsing our data files (hopefully quickly) and extracting things like instance type data for upload to a central reporting tool. This will help us get useful information about which types different teams on our central t

I've never thought about it for myself to be honest. Where I live I can log into a central website called 1177 (which is also the phone number you can call to talk to a nurse over the phone for advice if needed) and see all of my visit

You can't stick up for the American worker while starving on the streets. So in relation to your last paragraph about theoretical do-overs, I would argue that keeping the job until you actually have a replacement lined up would be the

My debugger usage pattern varies between languages. For C# I rely heavily on the debugger because it is just so easy and pleasant to do so. For Go using GoLand I use the debugger regularly, but I expect that it won't be quite as versat

It was very positive. This was back when we had 'ratings' like On Target, Above Target, Significantly Above Target, etc. I only joined a couple of months before the review period so it was not really a full review. I got positive

It seems at first glance that there is no way to pick that you are both a vegetarian and want to follow a ketogenic diet. They are not mutually exclusive in real life, but in the diet-preference-picker on the website this seems to be the
