I work on quality control medical data (MRI images) and have huge data sets from machines going back over a decade. Most of the useful stuff is extracted metrics (stored in a db), but every now and then we need to pull up a data set and run

Breaks are good, yes, but I prefer to decide on them based on the rhythms of my work, not the demands of my belly. I still take breaks, but when _I_ want to.

YMMV. One could argue that's just compounded flow ;) My body conveniently schedules those breaks at the very ends of the day. Rarely an issue.

Sometimes. I usually have 3-4 eggs in butter along with some more veggies. If I'm active, then a handful of nuts or two. Occasionally (due to cost) some grass fed ground beef stir fried in avocado oil. The smoothie counts for breakfast

I've been using variations on the following smoothie recipe for years. Works great for nutrition, energy, and is really easy to make. As an added bonus, for focused work, it's really easy to sip while coding and doesn't requi

This looks really cool. Perhaps someone can explain to me why we need new languages, in the face of rich, powerful, languages/tools such as this. Is it just not-invented-here syndrome + better advertising? More forgiving to beginners?

Visual Studio Code is NOT based on Atom, it is based on Electron[1], a wrapper around V8/Node for the creation of desktop apps. Atom is also based on Electron (and the Electron project is run largely by the Atom people), but other than

I love the concept of Atom and have a lot invested in its success. That being said, I switched back to Sublime because of the responsiveness, and here's why: Programming (for me) is a craft. When I'm in the flow of coding, there&#

This story by Ted Chiang [1] is an examination of exactly the future you describe. Forget lying to others, this could prevent our leaky, revisionist, memories from lying to ourselves. [1] https://subterraneanpress.com/magazi

In my experience, advice to "suck it up" usually indicates a lack of understanding on the part of the advisor, and an assumption that your mental state is similar to that of the person asking for help. The OP is asking for strateg

I've been on a clean air kick for a while. While investing in a HEPA filter is probably a good idea for urban dwellers, I've been working on filling my home with plants from the book How to Grow Fresh Air [1], a book based on some

Terrorism is psychological warfare aimed at a civilian population. It could be an expression of frustration; an act by one who doesn't care, or cares exclusively and consumingly. And it is horrific, disgusting, and morally reprehensibl

Actually, the Jewish tradition is that Moses lived 120 years, and that, after him, 120 years was the approximate cap on human life. Many Jewish well-wishings end with something like "may you live until one hundred and twenty".

It doesn't matter if Mars One is a scam, the article makes a good point: Our sense of optimism, of pioneering spirit, of looking to the stars, has suffered greatly in recent decades. If all it does is nudge people from looking forward

And the billions+ of entrenched synapses that compose the sum total of your life to date. You can not just rewire yourself in a heartbeat, and injunctions to "just do it" are as misleading as they are unhelpful. You may will yours

Your point seems to be that macros allow for a slightly more natural syntax for certain things, but I can do pretty much the same thing in a language with a natural HOF syntax (Ruby): with_open_file filename do |f| do stuff with fil

Yeah, I said the same thing before I started this. But that's when I'm waste deep in code and I hit the inevitable stumbling block of a weird library bug, missing config option, strange behavior, etc. That addictive, power-through

This is probably too extreme of a life change for most people to implement, but there are ways to gain some of the benefits without an entire lifestyle upheaval. Recently I've begun camping on business trips instead of using my hotel b

This will be great for things like node-webkit or atom-shell (and node in general). There are many use cases where using an optimized subset is a big win, like atom.io or any cross-platform app with an embedded V8. Granted, it won't sp

It's collections like these that make me sorely tempted to purchase the new Kindle when it's released. Imagine having every one of these books in a portable, readable, display.

His main point is that a strong community is a strength, but many different communities leads to too many fragmented (and incompatible) codebases and ideas. Some counterpoints: 1. The number of different implementations grew as the number
