The main thing that sorted out my sleep routine was fixing how I wake up. In the end that helped me fall asleep in the evenings. I have one of those Lumie wake up light and radio alarm clocks. From about half an hour before the set time it

That explains a lot. I must have missed that episode, thanks for the pointer.

I recently listened to the audiobook of Arthur C Clarke's Rendezvous with Rama. It's full of great descriptions of a habitat akin to one of these, especially with the experience of getting from the entry-point at the axis to the o

Usbourne really did make some terrific books. Some of them really defined my childhood, from their book about Ghosts that was in our primary school library and gave me nightmares, to the BASIC programming book that was foundational in me be

I had a kid's encyclopedia of science that had a section that featured these pictures, I must have spent hours staring at them, they were mesmerizing. It's feels strange to look back and think how much the world has changed since

Yep! I don't know what it is about mattresses specifically, but every part of the industry from highstreet shops to the online products all make me feel like I'm being ripped off in a way that no other product does. Bed salesmen a

We need a new mattress, after about half an hour of searching for reviews I realised that there was no way I was going to find any genuinely honest reviews anywhere. Search results are packed with full-time mattress review sites that are al

I wish more companies would get this. I don't continuously subscribe to Netflix or NowTV but knowing that I can unsubscribe with a couple of click is one of the reasons I'm happy to sign up from.ti!e to.time for something specific

It's also worth pointing out that they will be ramping up this program over an extended period of time. It's not like this is landing fully formed. This is an early announcement of something that is still having the details worked

Where did you find that statistic? It's interesting as the general advice is to always use a credit card online as the protection from fraud is better (although I think debit card protection has improved in the last few years).

The email I just received from Amazon states Visa's fees as the reason. I don't know what the relative !market shares are, but Visa credit cards are incredibly common here. I'd say more than half the credit cards I've ev

Yeah, thankfully it doesn't appear to have quite the same rabid haters in the uk as in the us. We didn't stick rigidly to one particular approach, I kind of took inspiration from them and figured out something that worked for each

I presume this is Amazon throwing their weight around in some negotiation with Visa?

Many years ago I worked at a place where we all had external drives plugged into cinema displays that acted as Time Machine drives for our laptops. The backups regularly failed, OSX would suddenly decide it didn't like it and you'

The current UX of notifications is terrible . After months of using it I still don't understand the mental model. A notification comes up, I hover and wait for the cross to appear and click it. But then some time later I unlock my mac

This. My only realy piece of advice to any new parent is not to be afraid to try different things until you find whatever it is that works, and just try and observe and reflect on what works and what doesn't. Feel free to read every pa

I'm constantly astonished by birds. They seem to be the ultimate evolutionary optimisers, which makes sense given their requirements. They seem to be incredibly efficeient with energy, weight and space. It's not just physical feat

I watched a video recently by a reviewer who had taken 1000 photos with both a Pixel 6 and iPhone 13 Pro. The difference was really quite striking, the Pixel 6 was much better at handling faces of different skin colours. This appears to be

Urrgh. We don't have a general channel for exactly that reason. We have a channel for general chit-chat that is nothing to do with work but that's as close as it gets. Anything else work related goes into subject/team/pr

People really underestimate how small the slack is/was in parts of the supply chain. I remember a couple of years ago when we had a lot of snow (for England) and it kiboshed the supply of things like milk and bread for about a week, ev

Do you not have seperate channels for that sort of thing? We have a channel called "big-wins" where the sales people can flag up new/extended deals. I have it muted but check it out from time to time to see if we've boug

Interesting to be reading all this about SecDB. About 15 years ago I was offered a job working on SecDB (I forget exactly what the position was now). It and Slang sounded really interesting. I do sometimes regret not taking the job because

This is one of the things I like most about my current job, I feel like we are all able to fix stuff, and everyone is open to questioning what we are doing and how we do it. If it's not working, or there's a better way then we cha

Yep, we've had to shift a weekly meeting for one hour, for just this week as we (UK) have just changed, but SF changes next week. Very annoying.

Some of my best friends have been made doing theatre. I have zero interest in acting, but doing all the other things involved in staging a performance is a load of fun, and the intensity of the collaboration can make for really strong and l

Oh, my goodness, the whole turnip/swede thing has always confused me, but never enough to investigate as I don't eat them very often.

I have a Moto Z2 Play and its camera is not great when close up, it stuggles to focus. I suspect a lot of current phones would do a good job with this task, but I'm on the lookout for something that will last me 5 years or more so the

I went to a talk by the (one-of?) leads behind Truffle and it looks really great, but getting all C libs to work reliably did seem to be a big issue. The performance of Truffle is amazing when it works, but I think the compatability issue i
