There's evidence showing that exercise does not necessarily offset the damage caused by being sedentary all day. Running, lifting, etc. are good things for sure, but saying "if you work your body regularly you will be fine" i

I mean, saurworld.org is a news/blog site for this game: http://sauerbraten.org . Can't really blame them for assuming their readership knows what the game is.

This diet is stupid. Objectively. But honestly... I feel like many people (myself included) who eventually ended up with healthy eating patterns actually started out with something stupid. I really do think some people can mentally handle a

I've been working full time on an app in SwiftUI for the past 8 months or so. I'll sum it up this way: I frequently oscillate between thinking "This is amazing, it truly is a joy to work with SwiftUI" and "Holy FUCK

And yet they've completely nerfed PWAs on iOS. So they can say what they like; I don't believe it.

It's changed considerably over the past decade, especially at 2.5 and 2.8. A lot of the weird stuff like right-click to select is gone (or not on by default anyway). If it's been a while since your last attempt you may have a bett

Anecdotally (sorry), my resting heart rate was sitting around 72-ish for a long time, according to my fitbit. I'm a pretty fit guy in my mid 30's, so I wasn't really happy with that number. I started working on trying to impr

IMO one of the core innovations that Discord brought was the way voice works. There's no "calling" or any sort of "person A would like to talk to person B, person C may or may not be welcome" sort of thing. People j

Everlywell. The test was $50 but it's easy to find coupon codes that bring it to $35. Can't speak to the accuracy of course, but otherwise it was pretty easy and I got the results quickly.

I'd say I'm about an #FFCD94 or so. I've also started adding more salmon into my diet. A 100g serving seems to be about 500 IU of vitamin D. Apparently fat helps with absorption of vitamin D, so it seems like a good way to ge

This summer I spent about six weeks making an effort to get as much sun exposure as I realistically could. I'd do 20-30 minute dog walks in the afternoon in shorts and no shirt, plus a few bike rides per week, also shirtless. I didn&#x

And yet they've created a widespread perception that YouTube mistreats it's creators, and we see stories like this all the time now. Surely someone at Google is capable of taking the long view. And if the culture at Google preve

I agree with what you're saying; pointing a finger at one particular thing and saying "this gets suppressed" is a bad solution. In fact it probably opens the door to a whole new category of problems. But... I think what we&#x

Because Facebook, by it's nature, is designed to filter content. It turned everyone and everything into a content generator, even down to the level of "Jimmy liked a post by Burger King!". It gives everyone access to this unf

They actually have admitted that that's an issue, although I'm not sure what they did about it. Recently they shipped the Valve Index and released Half Life: Alyx, both of which are excellent. They also released Artifact (it did

In my opinion the best way to deal with the issue of hierarchy would be to make management an assignment, not a job. Someone takes on the role of "manager" for an upcoming project, at at the conclusion of that project they go back

There's a handful of blood-test-by-mail sites you can use to do a vitamin D test. Cost is around $50.

The issue was also opened in a very positive and respectful way, which sets the tone for the whole discussion. From my own experience, if I've been away from a project for a while sometimes there's this snowball of guilt that just

The toolbar on the bottom is easier to reach on big phones. But also you can decide whether you want it on the top or bottom in settings so it really isn't a big deal. Losing extensions really does suck, but you can at least install a

Yeah, sorry, 175mph on the freeway is not something I'm okay with. For other cars on the road going 65mph that's a relative speed of 110mph. I'd like to see them in jail.

It doesn't matter. You can argue that "people shouldn't fall prey to groupthink" and I'd agree with you. But they do. We're talking about a group of 2.6 billion people, not an individual. On average, people are

It was good early on. So was Instagram. I think the beginning of the downfall was the like button for Facebook and the heart for Instagram. Once you introduce a voting system that determines what gets exposure and what gets buried, it see

This whole thing is just insane. Facebook, as a platform, has enabled mass amounts of misinformation, hatred, and groupthink, to the point of becoming a serious concern for our democracy. It is fundamentally designed into the platform to gi
