This is awesome news! I was just lamenting that my Play Store "earnings" are so much lower than my "revenue". This will help me as an indie developer make my app offerings a meaningfully larger part of my livelihood.

It sounds like these room-temperature time crystals must be driven by continually applying external energy via the driving frequency, or did I misread that? Is it feasible to create my own time crystals? Or acquire one? I would love to add

Do they still suck? I have an HP inkjet printer from ~2010 that works great. When I want to print from my phone or PC, it seems to just work. I can email a magic address from any other device and it also starts printing. I order ink a few t

I know for me there is a definite diet aspect on a daily basis, but I don't remember if that's been the case during any of the weeks where I've felt invincible. But on a small-scale basis: - Eating a big simple-carb-heavy mea

I spent a few weeks trying to do short (10-20 minute) afternoon naps and they did work great for helping me transition from "day job" focus to "work on personal projects" focus. In my experience, a good nap could take me

Thank you for sharing, also. Until I read your original comment I sort of forgot about that sort of feeling since it's been months of normal daily grind. I wonder if anyone has done serious study into this type of performance. Some thi

I know what you mean. I might feel that way a few days in a row every couple of months if I'm lucky and rarely ever more than 2 days in a row. It's a weird, full-body change for me. When I'm in that kind of zone it's lik

Put another way: many people choose to pursue a meaningful life over a happy life. The English word "happy" covers a wide range of states and I'm not sure the original article has even settled on one definition. They referenc

Try transferring to a new team? If you were on my team then low productivity would not fly. I see many teams at my FAANG company and all of them have very high expectations. The companies are big enough though that there are occasionally te

After years of rentals, I've really only ever had consistently good experiences from National/Enterprise. I vowed off Hertz 6 years ago. It was around midnight after a long flight, my phone was dead and I had a rental booked from

This is true for life in general, but I'm not sure it works for technical interviews. I've seen many candidates derail themselves by trying to tell interesting stories without realizing that the interviewer doesn't care. Many

The science doesn't add up here. There are dozens of fluffy "this-will-save-the-world" articles without any substance which eventually led me to a single website that claims to represent a team working on that technology. Tha

That's quite a strawman argument. 'g' is a scalar that tries to measure the relatively large chunk of correlation that tends to show up on aptitude tests. On average, individuals who do well on one type of intellectual task t

I experience the same thing and I think it's the result of subconscious processing over the weekend. I find this is only true while I'm working on a job or project I care about, but I generally arrive Monday morning and it's

I run Google Ads for a mobile app I own. If I try to optimize for download volume, that's all I get - bots after bots. Can rack up thousands of downloads for <10 cents per download without any impact on how many users actually use o

Yes. And some days I feel much sharper than usual. For me I think it is routine related. I almost never have 'dumb' days during the work week but they're fairly common for me on the weekend.

I see these types of articles way more than I hear fellow millenials discussing being 'self-made'. It seems almost trendy these days to try to point out all the ways that successful people just got lucky or substantial assistance.

Maybe he wouldn't have. Maybe someone like him with billions of dollars should start a foundation to try and help prevent poverty, malnutrition, lack-of-education and disease so more people can lead fulfilling lives.
