Non-physicist here, so excuse the layman rambling, but to me this was always something I just assumed when asking myself how fast is time? I just figured it was a constant because it is, it doesn't slow down or speed up - well, except

So, with front-running on Ethereum, am I understanding correctly that what is happening here is that bots are being used to look at buy and sell orders on decentralized exchanges and then sending their own tokens with a slightly higher gas

I adopted the exact same technique this year after making the jump from engineering to product management. Previously, everything was scattered in notes on sublime or notion. This is because in the dev world, everything was happening primar

It’s funny, because I did just as your post suggests and built my latest personal site using Gatsby and Tailwind and it was an overall positive experience. I loved that I didn't have to do any design (although, sure, you could argue th

I like it. This is our first time moving to live and work in a country away from Melbourne, and we took a while to decide where we would do it with Singapore always topping the list. That said, it hasn't been easy. Grappling with all t

I noticed this a lot more on signs and posters when I moved to Singapore earlier this year. Back in Melbourne, design seemed a lot more varied, but everything here is the same style. My guess is that a lot of the signage is from government

I completely agree. We had this exact discussion at work the other day. I mentioned to a colleague that what I value most is someone who is creative. There are many candidates out there who know all the buzzwords or can discuss features of

It's impressive. I suppose you could say there are some skills from chess that are very transferable to something like managing a fantasy sports team; the ability to predict or prepare for certain outcomes and the ability to manage and

Be sure to read the top comment. Even though the program itself was very limited, I think the fact that this was something a band took the time and effort to do back in '84, is pretty cool. Must've been a surreal moment for Dan to

The animation comparing the helical engine with same mass vs with relativistic masses was super helpful, I wish more articles that went into physics had these kinds of simple illustrations. >“I know that it risks being right up there wit

As a former Flash dev that worked through those glory days, I tend to agree. The format was just a lot more open and less restrictive in what you could do - especially compared with the early web. We built a lot of different things with it,

I wish my story was as cool and involved some technical expertise. In year 10, a friend of mine saw our school network admin type the admin password in (he used his index fingers and typed in each character one at a time like someone with v

It's interesting to note how the general opinion of sleep is starting to shift away from the stereotypical ideal we had decades ago of the "powerful CEO that only sleeps 4-5 hours a night." We know a lot more about sleep than

Your story highlights why customer service is not as easy as we think because of the requirement for sustained performance being quite high. By your own admission, you went to this steak house for 10 years and had liked it so much you encou

There is more to it than just the weather, as others have pointed out. However, your comment reminded me of "Winter-over syndrome" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter-over_syndrome ) - worth a look for those

For those interested, there is a fantastic documentary called, "The Substance: Albert Hofmann's LSD" which was released in 2011 ( https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2075352/ ) that covers a lot of the histo

Well said. Really this kind of discussion and debate tends to revolve around whether people assign importance to the destination or the journey. If you're constantly striving and chasing some personal goal, ie. "once I achieve thi

Social media companies love to tell us about how they're bringing the world together or how they let us share our moments and memories with loved ones, etc. But there is something to be said about the comparison between how the generat

That's a great discussion in itself. You can look at Valve as a company that started out focusing on making exceptional products (Half-Life), or focusing on their users (Steam), which then transitioned into a business that directed it&

I grew up with a C64 and a big part of the charm, for me, was the sound chip and the noises/music it made. I can understand why that chip has such a cult following. Back then, when we had nowhere near the fidelity in graphics that we h
