No worries, and no shitting-on intended. It's a super interesting subject though, lots of issues around perception and psychological suggestibility which I find fascinating. When we ate out, it wasn't just the wine that was diffic

Nice ad hominem you have there. What I mean is that there is a huge amount written about, for example, pairing particular wines with particular foods. Most of this is aimed at people with far less wine knowledge than my dinner companion, wh

Fair enough - I guess we will have to agree to disagree on whether that warrants never trusting them again.

If you have to explicitly train to be able to tell the difference between a red and a white without seeing it, surely that does mean that 99.99% of what is written about wine is bullshit? It's really hard not to come to an emperor-has-

I don't have a source other than that I develop plugins for IntelliJ professionally, but it's definitely true that performance is generally not a focus earlier in EAP cycles. I think they mention it when you download an EAP releas

Some years back, they decided on an IDE-as-a-service path where they were going to brick your IDE the day your subscription lapsed. No they didn't. This is a total mischaracterisation of how JB's subscription works.

I (sort of) did this - about 10 years ago or so we ate at Dans Le Noir ( https://www.danslenoir.com/en/ , we went to the one in Barcelona), a restaurant which serves everything in pitch darkness. The waiters were all bli

I'm interested in this, but you don't have any contact info in your profile. HN itself doesn't have a messaging feature, so you have to leave an email address or something there. If you'd rather just message me my addres

No research here, but I use the great Fresh Cards app (by allenu here on HN) with my daughter's homeschooling, and it works great. We've used it for phonics and all sorts of basic math facts, and I use it for scheduling spelling w

IMO you should absolutely buy what he produces, partly as you say to support a genuine craftsman, but also because (unsurprisingly) the games he produces are really good. I also think of my purchases as a donation to keep his blog posts com

I mean, the protocol may be simple, but the UX is anything but. I've been around the block, but I find IRC incredibly opaque. Don't want to miss messages? You need a bouncer, which means you need a server somewhere, and then this

I was thinking it would be nice to see when the user last posted, along with their karma. I see a lot of names I recognise but haven’t seen around for a while.

I actually think everyone should track what they eat, at least for a while. It's a really interesting experience. I started because I wanted to lose weight but was exercising a lot, so I was restricting my calories while trying to keep

To be fair, that says "a grain of truth", and that's contained within a section entitled: "Myth 6: Salt is bad for you". The summary says: But a drastic decrease in salt intake has not shown uniform benefit in clin

There is a wealth of other research showing that most people in North America should dramatically reduce their sodium intake. The evidence for this seems much less conclusive than most people think: https://examine.com/nut

Yes, I guess that was with daily practice and a coach. I’d say a year is probably more realistic for most people, or even more. It certainly took me longer than that.

Yet, I feel very confident I could do a handstand within 30 days of practice. So was I :-) If you're talking about a freestanding handstand, held for 15-20 seconds, then I would bet a beer that your confidence is misplaced. It's

Correcting underbalance (falling towards your chest, away from your hands) is indeed much harder. When starting balancing, most beginners will have the majority of their weight in the heel of the hands, since that feels most natural. Howeve

> You need to get it right for 1 second to call it a handstand IMO I don't think many people would call that a handstand. Or at least, if you do then the definition is so wide as to be useless. There's no balance at all involve

I also do this! There are a few grumpy old people around doing this for a living.

Not only that, but even if I pay that price, I can't share lists with my wife? I would really love to use it, but that just seems ridiculous in this day and age.

I was thinking this as well. If a new drug works well for 99% of the people, has mildish side effects for 0.9% and is really bad for 0.1% of people, that's no good. But if a nerve agent kills 99% of people and is not effective on 1%, t

My daughter was recently diagnosed with a similar thing, APD (auditory processing disorder). Her hearing is perfect, and she aced all the auditory tests except one - they played her the sound of a lot of voices talking in the background, an
