Friend of mine interviewed for a role where they explained a problem and asked how he would solve it. He spent 90 minutes explaining possible solutions while they made notes. It's a pretty specialist domain so he knew others who were i

Question - I used to use Prey and loved it, but stopped about 5 or 6 years ago because (IIRC) it didn't work with full disk encryption or something like that. Instead I ended up setting up a separate user and find my Mac (or whatever t

Beer certainly exacerbated my symptoms. Alcohol has become a much-less-often thing for me (mostly because you can't really have 'a quick pint'). I've benefitted most mentally here though, I think? You don't realise

I never tried a FODMAP diet - I guess at the time it just seemed _too_ restrictive. I suppose keto is just as restrictive, but it's like anything right? You're never going to be able to give up smoking until you're ready to g

I loved "Why We Sleep" (was a HN recommendation, I think!). One of my biggest takeaways was learning to not feel guilty about it. I think the constant 'hustle mentality' ends up making a lot of this community (in particu

Appreciate the comment; I tried veganism as a test for a month a few years ago and didn't get on with it at all. Keto seems to work pretty well for me - I enjoy the food and there's plenty of science to geek out on :-)

Thanks! This is great advice. If and when I return to the world of carbs I'll definitely do it like this. Keto as a diet really works for me (wonderfully). So many of my favourite foods!

Sure. Can't give you an exact list, but start with https://www.reddit.com/r/keto/wiki/faq and then take a look at dietdoctor.com who have a 2 week (I think) intro to keto which gives you some decent vari

I think no refined sugar will be my starting point if and when I ever reintroduce carbs. I've always exercised pretty consistently, I didn't have much weight to lose when I started the diet, and I still eat a load of cheese - so I

I've been on a ketogenic diet for a year now and sleep has been the biggest thing. I was a light, restless sleeper and I noticed very quickly how how much better my sleep got. I'd fall asleep quicker and it feels (and tracks) deep

You're over thinking it. Put it on product hunt, put it on HN, explain it in a comment if you want or need to. Read the feedback, take in the useful parts and don't let anything else get to you. Good luck with it!

Are there any fitness trackers that offer this? And whilst on the subject of fitness trackers - are there any that offer great heart monitoring but aren't a whole smart watch thing? I used to love the jawbone design, and I'm curre

Exactly this. And this is exactly the reason why we'll probably all end up pirating movies again. Pretty much everything mainstream (with the exception of a few artists) is on Spotify. Netflix, Amazon, etc etc. get more fractured every

"Client’s Disease" is an interesting thing. I think 9 times out of 10 I work with a client on their website or landing page there's either far, far too much copy (and nobody really wants to read it all) or the copy is written

I think it depends. You can have great success with longform landers with the right product. But I agree that you should cover as much as possible as simply as possible as early as possible. I definitely disagree that landing pages make no

Yep, or you could describe the physical product and make sure it's clear what people are putting their email address in for. Like "we ship a box of surprising Japanese candy to your house every month" then explain why you nee

Both pages would probably convert better if there was an explanation as to what happens when I put in my email address. There's also a confusing use over the word 'mailbox' - which I'd use for email, but also physical ma

Pretty useful. Suggestion based on me looking at this on a phone (I'm unsure how this looks on desktop!) - left align the titles and the copy for each section. Would make the list much easier to scan. Well done for releasing!

Could I ask what lamp you chose and how long you spend in front of it? I take a fairly high dose of D3 and I'd be curious to try artificial light. Thanks!

When I worked as a dev in an agency - I _hated_ with a passion anything that felt like it was tracking my time or productivity. It made me not want to be there and made me felt like the time I spent figuring out how to do my job was wrong.
