Sorry, which country are we talking about? Barring the guaranteed maternity leave I'm not seeing a helluva difference.

Maybe. One could try imagining an invisible line and tracking that. It helps not to focus on the text itself, but on the space just above the page, just as the tip of pen would be hovering above the page as it sweeps across. That way the ey

That's my understanding too. Speed reading is not just about reader faster, but reading more comfortably, avoiding tiring out the eyes by using them more effectively, thereby aiding both comprehension and retention.

Tony Buzan's speed reading book brings this up, particularly the eye movement. The eye has two types of movement: the one you use to move from one object to another; and then the one that follows an object. He recommends the latter whe

I watched this on iPlayer a few months ago....if anything it seemed the revolution had already taken place, revealing just how big and sophisticated an industry it was by 1978, with the supply-chain already straddling the Pacific, chips des

Quite. They even admit to it being a "pun" on the name of the local town, rather than merely 'named after'.

So they say. No one wants to back up a comment with "...and I run twelve machines". Could still be 'world class' tho.

No sir, I do not. And I'd rather not have to.

Or tall. Or thin. Or young. Why the emphasis on what one looks like, rather than something deeper, more meaningful, like background, circumstances, class? There are plenty of poor thin white young tall people out there strugging like most p

How has gitlab "continued to improve"? They are getting worse. Do you have statistics on their uptime or their performance? Because in my own experience, gitlab.com is going from bad to worse. Their API increasingly returns 503s a

Today? Rest assured, they have been very, oh very slow, for a long time. Their Twitter status feed and post mortem dialogue ad infinitum is proof enougb. GitHub has nothing to worry about just yet.

How can he say, as the title of his blog goes, "there is no epidemic of loneliness"? I can see how he has a case for questioning the statistical basis of someone who is arguing there is an epidemic. But how does that disprove

Academia too is subject to the laws of capitalism. It is not some siloed-off eden of labour working for itself. Anyone working in academia can attest to the same pressures you see in the free market, whether it be short termism or maddening

What should one replace the RUN instructions with? Say I have: `RUN apt-get update` and then an `RUN apt-get install -y pkgX pkgY..pkgN` I could download each package beforehand, tar em and use docker save, but I'd want the recursive

Yup, I do this as part of tai chi and qi gong (referred to as 'dan tian' breathing). Seems to be a thing of the west to take elements of yoga, tai chi, daoism et al, and distill them - mindfulness comes to mind - and as devices th

We're got some pretty complex pipelines, so much so that we've reached quite a few limitations. You can do all the things you've listed. But you can't build an arbitrarily complex DAG of tasks. Instead, you must order ev

Are you saying there is no increasing incidence of diseases? Of any disease? That would be a difficult argument to make (you might want to find a citation). Note: I did not say all diseases.

What's your 'natural skin colour'? The colour of your skin if you never go outside? Or the colour if you spend a 'healthy' amount of time in the sun?

by leg100 9y ago
You can carry out your own study. Stand outside in the sun for a while. Did you get sunburnt? Ok, that's too long, and the danger of that is skin cancer.

I'm not going to wait for a study to show evidence. The evidence is only as good as the study, and this is very hard thing to setup a study for, given the many years they'd need to study subjects and as someone else pointed out on

It eschews docker, and Dockerfiles and their non-determinism, and builds the layers itself, and uses a python lib [1] to push and pull container images. In order to ensure reproducibility/determinism, however, Bazel doesn't have a

For me, an entertaining film says something about reality, life, something meaningful, and done so in such a way it makes the most of what you can do with that medium. I wouldn't expect anything other from an entertaining novel, say. O

Somewhat naff and parochial attitude. Conquering Everest was a massive expedition, involved many mountaineers from across the British Empire, over 400 people in total [1]. The article makes no mention of this; seems to think Everest was con

The plan to plant trees as outlined in the article is wrong. That's not to say planting trees at all is wrong. As you say for flood defence it would seem like a good idea. Re wildlife, yes they would need to be controlled if trees are
