I enjoyed this read and have some of the same parallels in my judo and professional journey. I suffer the same issue with overthinking which kills my effectiveness in shiai/randori and probably professionally as well. My coaches are al

I do judo 2hrs 3x/wk and weight lift/cardio 1.5-2hr 5x/wk with some soccer occasionally on Thursdays. Before I started (5yrs ago) I was about 115kg, I've been steady at 95kg since. There's no way I'd stick with

Sweden is still recommending it. https://www.folkhalsomyndigheten.se/publikationer-och-materi... Anecdotally, I have 2 friends who are doctors in the kommun and both said the hospitals are short staffed, beds are filling up

Yes and yes. All of the teachers at the IB here hold a masters or higher in their topics and teach it like it would be at uni. Only one of high schools around here offer anything near it in course depth and focus. I also like that philosoph

What school does is provide an environment of ~8hrs/day to pressure test their social skills and build coping mechanisms (good and bad). You do get that to a lesser degree from other environments such as sports and in the end it's

I agree that a lot of it's needless and painful, but there's some merit in knowing how to defend yourself (physically, mentally and emotionally). There's a lot of the petty BS that you learn from in school that transposes to

There's definitely a strong overlap in that sense. Probably also because these institutions tend to have smaller class sizes which allow better teach/student interaction and more time. Public schooling in the US could do this too,

Fix the parts that are likely to cause the most damage in a hard freeze: - Insulate your walls at the areas you have exposed pipes using something like closed-cell foam or rockwool. - Know how to evacuate your sprinkler/pool water lin

That definitely aligns with my experience. My soccer coach in college started our morning practices with a 1hr run. I had my best runs (time/perf) the days I was able to take mini cat naps or zone out as I ran. And in retrospect I thin

They don't get silage unless the farmer makes a point of it. Most of the time the stalks and chaff and spit out the back of the combine and tilled under. Furthermore they'd get penalized for it in weighing if its mixed in with the

This is probably more of a factor of humidity than insulation. I've felt colder in -1C in Dublin where humidity was over 90% than at -20C in Luleå and 10%. Insulated clothing is less effective in higher humidity as moisture in the fibe

It depends on your infra. If you're largely ephemeral hosts, then Ansible is ideal for single instance provisioning. Also if you're support windows hosts Ansible's support here is less than stellar, it's effectively a ex

It does, if you're going from Leander/Cedar Park to downtown it's useful. It takes about the same amount of time as driving in rush-hour, but without the bs. Texas generally sees public-transport as something for poor people

Same here. It was a epiphany for me when I could scrape off a week of growth with 1-2 passes without clogging up and with a better shave. Washing with something astringent like Dr Bronners before the Barbasol helps a bunch too.

I understood the point. If an employee/applicant felt they had been discrimitated against and reported it there would be an inquiry and serious financial/social consequences. Hiring is a lengthy process and firing is very difficul

No, we're highly judgemental, but an employer is not allowed to inquire or make hiring/firing decisions with regard to your health status. Likewise life insurance might have a higher premium if you regularly engage in extreme spor

The first startup I was at was acquired by Idera. They started by trying to replace everyone in the dev team with remote contractors. I cashed out and left as soon as possible.

I'm in the same boat. Would love to be able to use Fusion in linux, especially with Apple dropping OpenGL support. Last I read they were looking to move the app to web-based and be platform agnostic.

I'm sure. Everyone has to do the 4yr slog, but founders usually write in a parachute clause. I hope they stuck around to make sure their original team was taken care of, but it's naive to think they'd have C-level control at

Seems like they didn't know when to leave. Once they sold it was no longer their baby and should have started working on an exit strategy. It becomes a contest of egos. On the technical side, FB's methodology with acquisitions see
