Keep in mind, you’re not actually asphyxiating in this case. It’s just uncomfortable to have someone in your space, feeling closed in, etc… it’s all emotion. Thats different from actually being choked and tapping to end the fight. Also, BJJ

Part of practicing Stoicism is to bring emotions up to the understanding, examining, and choosing level. You still have emotions, but you don't let them control you. I love JiuJitsu because many parts of it are like microcosms of life.

Great story. It's a stepping stone to understanding fully that we are all going to die and that life itself is precious.

You should read "A Man's Search for Meaning" sometime. While not exactly Stoicism many of the ideas are similar/related. How a person views and responds to their situation, has a huge impact on them. No one is saying any

The average young person probably does nothing at all. Don't let perfect be the enemy of the good. Some percentage of people will come to Stoicism via an influencer and continue to dig.

Fast food almost always takes longer than that unless you can literally drive through while driving home from work. Also, you're comparing making noodles from scratch to a typical meal. I can do an asian style chicken/veggie&#x2

Good points. I'm a 'solve the problem' person, so rarely get into language wars, editor wars, etc... I just don't care as long as the problem is solved in a way that meets the needs of the user. I've worked with all

Might be good to define the (legacy) engineering team. Instead of thinking 0/1 (ugh, almost nothing happens this way), the traditional engineering team may be replaced by something different. A team mostly of product, spec writers, and

These types of comments are interesting to me. Pre-chatGPT there were tons of posts how so many software people were terrible at their jobs. Bugs were/are rampant. Software bugs caused high profile issues, but likely so many more we ne

This is a great point. Style reuse was the dream of CSS, but we have all mostly settled that that's too fine grained for anything beyond a simple website. It's much easier to build, share, reuse a bunch of components.

It's jokingly called 'white coat syndrome'. Any doctor who has a clue should understand this.

It's not just Italy. The UK is also insane along with some cities in Spain. In the UK one of the rivalries supposedly goes back to the War of the Roses [1]. The way I describe EU football games to Americans is take the craziest student

It’s been shown before that a couple minutes of pleasantries helps the meeting. I’m guessing it helps regulate everyone on a similar vibe. A lot like saying hello to someone and maybe how are you doing before launching into any requests.

Unfortunately this is the reality. If I’m on with a big external partner/client and they need to finish their thought I’m going to be late to an internal meeting. If it’s too late I will try to slack and say go ahead.

Pointing to Russia as a functioning economy is comical. Industry focused economies are going to continue to come under pressure due to automation. The US for example has a lot of industrial output, but shrinking industrial jobs. And that’s

The USD and EURO being nearly on par was the exception. And given the current admins stated goals, I’m not sure we’re going to see the USD strengthen anytime soon. In fact, it’s more likely to get weaker.

Also the book simply named “Musashi” is amazing and tells the ‘story’ of his life. It has arguably the best ending of any book I’ve ever read where the lead up builds for 1000+ pages ending in a crescendo.
