I have been doing intermittent fasting with 8 hour "feeding window" for probably 10 years now. There are all sorts of different more or less believable facts about intermittent fasting. I won't get into any of them. I can jus

I have had some thoughts in the same space, as I believe that I could help a lot of non-technical founders, but never found the right approach. I agree with a lot of the problems softwaredoug describes in his answer. If it were to work, the

I think that this is one of the lessons from the pandemic as well. A lot of people have underestimated the meaning and impact of loosely coupled/superficial relationships. The small conversations we could have with co-workers and stran

I would say nay, for a number of reasons. Let's take the somewhat sunshine scenario first. You make something that actually succeeds. You start earning a lot of money. Has each of you contributed as much to the outcome as the other. An

I was not aware of the fact that he written a book. I will have to check that one out - because I agree those videos are so calm and soothing to watch.

As other have mentioned, I do not think that you can draw any meaningful conclusion about attention, span by questioning the comments to linked articles ratio. In a lot of cases peoples attention is probably locked onto the comment section

On the topic of e-readers I just want to share these two resources for free e-books. I am pretty sure I originally got them from HN and I have been reading almost exclusively from their collections ever since. So if someone can have the sam

I can only chime in and support this claim about Citizen. I have had one of their Eco-drive models for about 15 years now and it has had months in drawers or laying on shelves not being used, but it has never stopped working. I am so impres

I am very glad to hear. I have been very pleased since I switched from Dropbox to this set-up. I also use Nextcloud without the Cryptomator-directory for more ordinary file-sharing between devices.

The Power Broker - I can see why people might be fascinated to read about someone rising to power, but I could not stand about the misuse of this power with the sole purpose of catapulting himself forward. I am very well aware of the egotis

Funny thing is that first time I read Zen And The Art.. I also put it down and could not for the life of me finish it. 3-4 years later I picked it up again, finished it and loved it. I have even read it fully a second time since then. Some

I have Nextcloud set-up on a server from Hetzner and then I use Cryptomator to encrypt and store whatever I consider "sensitive".

I used to love photo-blogs. Not just single images like IG and the like, but just random photo-blogs where the people who took the pictures share a bit of thoughts/stories behind the pictures no matter how trivial. My biggest inspirati

Haha you have to help me here. Could you please help me understand what gopher is and NNTP? I do not know whether I should feel dumb, too young or too old for not knowing :)

Anecdotal but I am genuinely surprised at how bad YouTube is at recommending relevant videos. There is so much content there and I always end up having to look for things myself. Seen from my perspective it seems way to "narrow-minded&

That was a very good and thorough walk through of that book. I highly enjoyed it - so thanks a lot for sharing!

You do not seem like you want to change your mind - and that is fine. If you are doing a cost/benefit analysis, then you are doing it wrong. You mock western consumerism but radiate tells of "western overoptimization" attacki

Totally agree. I wonder if that is part of the reason for the high compensation numbers. I do not know how widespread "counter Facebook ethics" are among Engineers. I could imagine them being higher that elsewhere as it is a somew

Partially inspired by Francis Fukuyama's "The Origins of Political Order" and this article, I really want to read more about the Japanese culture that keeps these shops alive for so long. Does anyone have good recommendations

Interesting to see whether this will work for the "last" part. I can understand why it works while cutting off smaller parts of a longer ship, but at some point I would expect the ship not to be heavy enough. At that point I would

That is probably because you look at it from too narrow a position. Yes, the public transport inside Oslo may be brilliant. That is very good for transporting people around who lives inside Oslo, but chances are that a lot of people cannot
