Do you have any tips for handling hunger cravings when starting out? I've heard that drinking tea when hungry might help curb those, but as someone who's been doing this for a long time maybe you have some other tips to share?

I tried this last night and even though it sort of worked, I found myself waking up a couple of times starting from around 5am and not getting back to sleep as deeply because in the back of my mind I was worrying that I'd oversleep and

I'd say I felt much more rested (but that's obvious) after the first few nights, but overall mood and mental improvements seemed to be noticeable, on reflection, a month or two in. I think even if I didn't feel subjectively

I've been with the same company for six years but still like practicing sometimes. I don't do it very regularly because I have another personal project that takes up my free time, but sometimes when I feel like a break from the bi

I've seen two documentaries that really have stuck with me. One is Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills (watched in multiple long parts from memory); the other is Icarus.

I use one of these at work and it is wonderful. There are so many different sitting positions that it can support; kneeling, not kneeling, twist it around to get a slightly different spine alignment. It offers a lot of flexibility for someo

My X1 Carbon is only three years old and already looks really crappy. I take it everywhere with me and it's been through a lot - I'm not exactly gentle. To be honest I kind of like how dinged up it is, shows the nice history of pl

Reading this book over my summer break really drilled the importance of sleep home for me. I was chronically sleep deprived, working on personal projects late into the night after work. After reading this book I realized I was doing myself

I've participated in a couple of js31kgames jams, including the very first one. I didn't do it this year, but it's certainly a fun little challenge. My favorite creation was a color matching game; I actually wrote a small pos

This is so cool, reminds me of a documentary I saw about people who do this (it may have even featured the same guy, I can't remember). After seeing the documentary I spent the next weekend trying to get around my apartment blindfolded

I don't use a laptop for my actual day job, for all hobby coding is done on a 2016 X1 Carbon. It is durable, light, and was relatively easy to install Linux on.

Wanted to add my agreement to this; I've been in the industry since 2008. My first experience was really bad...then I moved to the EU. We do still do overtime, not mandated but when you have to ship it happens. Other than that the bene

I previously read someone's take on this in relation to people feeling secure enough to take risks here (not just in Stockholm but Sweden as a whole I guess). While notch's success may be an outlier, the process of trying to do y

I'm ashamed to say yes. I cut meat out years ago but do still consume dairy and eggs. More recently the vegan alternatives at local grocery stores seem to be getting better and better, so I'm starting to consume less of those as w

I am by no means an expert on learned helplessness, but I'm not sure that's what this is. I could see it if the fish was prevented from eating by the other fish, and even when it is no longer being prevented from eating it chooses

I worry about a lot of things, including but not limited to the expression of all the instinctive behaviours that a fish would have in its natural habitat that living in a glass box prevents (no matter how enriching we try to make the capti

After getting fish and seeing them in captivity first hand I've decided that I don't think it's ethical to keep fish in captivity in general. As good a home as I try to give them, they're still wild animals in a little b

This has also been known to happen among African cichlids, a type of fish. I'm sure it's likely other animals are affected as well but I have cichlids myself, so I have more context with them specifically. Cichlids tend to be high

I loved Icarus; it was just amazing how more and more off track the filmmaker's original plan went as he got entangled with this Russian doctor and found himself documenting a much more interesting story than the one he originally set

Not quite the same level but I remember before gen 4 game consoles were announced, for a while the NDA hoops we had to jump through and the care we had to take when discussing them internally was intense. For a long time we just called them
