Video game addiction is a hard thing to admit. Society also mocks you. For this reason, I've never touched World of Warcraft (WoW). I knew that once I started ... I could easily see myself playing for stretches of eighteen hours a day.

Another thing to add to the list is you can set Paravirtualization Interface if you're using VirtualBox. If your defaults are currently on "Legacy", empirically we saw 10-30% speedup by switching to "KVM".

For the record - I used to work at YCharts. One of our loved features was the Screener - we modeled to make it as easy-to-use with setting your own custom metrics and really good timeseries information. It's cheaper than FactSet and Bl

The fact that there are no tests makes me feel incredibly sad - there are probably plenty of people who were unfairly sentenced because of this.

Yeah, the lifehack has been to buy things labeled restaurant grade. If you think of a blender, the healthiest person might use it twice a day. At a restaurant, a blender has to last being used all day for a few months.

Most of the time pip installs work fine, but once a while after some type of OS upgrade (namely, my experience has been MacOS), you run into odd compiler types of issues. So it's why a lot of teams will use either Vagrant / Docker

One thing that's slightly unfair is you disproportionately weed out a lot of good candidates who don't have the time to fill out the entire screener type of questions. However, you do get the "diamonds in the rough" who

This is a shameless plug and only marginally related, but I've done a decent amount of self research in buying dumb supplements and hoping they work (especially with nootropics). I created https://betterself.io/ , open-

I was pretty impressed by this entire article. The price tag is enormous, and I can't really imagine that level of money, but being healthier does have its benefits ... Some of the supplements choices are a bit on the edgier side, so I

Yeah - I didn't trust anyone with all my data to give it back to me. Anonymity was another concern. The delete user setting is also something I provided just to illustrate I wasn't kidding. And then open-source was the last thing

This seems like a reasonable time to do a shameless plug of a side project - finding which supplements worked and didn't over for me personally has been a huge PITA. https://betterself.io/ - I'd love feedback! I t

Slightly surprising to me ... does it still fail for you (I just tried and it worked, but maybe I'm missing something - used Chrome over here)

I realized earlier this year I was facing this exact problem - a lot of foods and supplements I was taking was causing a lot of mental fogs and I couldn't figure out what. Alcohol had serious lagging day effects from its impact on slee

This is also doable via Anki's cloze feature. Write {{c1::$PATH}} on separate lines: "{{c2::echo}} {{c3::$PATH}} | tr ':' '\n'" The card above will be 3 separate cards, but takes only about 10-20% more tim

Derek Sivers has phenomenal book summaries. https://sivers.org/book - changed my life - read summary first, if really good, buy and read book - cons are 1) makes you think less about content 2) may be too easily forgotten

But you're compounding the 2.5% only with itself. If you had reinvested the dividend back into the stock (common), the return is higher than 48.5%.
