Perhaps interesting for you: The University of Delft has done research on mask fit. A report in Dutch can be found here[1]. Perhaps auto-captions in English work for you? [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJZBNwa6QMk

I see lots of long-term advice, so I'm going to skip that. I also believe that any answers have to come from within. You have to deal with the consequences of any action (including inaction), so I think it would be best if you come up

Agree with this. Acknowledge-Forgive-Learn. What worked for me a few years ago: 1. Drop any goals you have outside of work. One day at a time. 2. Allow for extended idle time. Allow yourself to just "be". 3. Do what feels right in

Top speed of the average glider, the speed which is never to be exceeded is usually 270-300 kph. This can be improved by making the glider more stiff, as the top speed is often limited by a phenomenon called flutter[1]. Average cross-countr

There exists a feasible way to fly aircraft with passengers purely on the forces of the sun and atmosphere. This is heavily influenced by me being a glider pilot. Our aircraft are able to fly vast distances using just thermal energy. I beli

In general I realized that most clean tech is difficult to recycle at this point, from this site[1]. I'm just trying to get the big picture, and hoping that we don't solve one problem by creating the next. In the end our waste end

For work I'm currently building a test-rig that has a projected lifetime of 20 years. So for me, this is very relevant. Thank you for posting.

I think showing evidence of your progress is an effective way to plan more realistically (evidence-based) than the wishful thinking I've seen. The moment estimates are no longer without consequences you get this kind of behavior. I&#x2

Some people struggle with meditation. I did too, especially connecting to my bodily sensations without getting caught up in thoughts. I found that slow movements like Qi Gong can help you with calming down and connecting to your body. When

Thanks for the insight! I didn't choose the nRF, it was a given. I believe it was chosen due to being similar to the MK24 (also an M4) and having Bluetooth. The chips ended going into wearables, and BTLE was seen as the way to configur

For those interested: I ported FreeRTOS 9 to an nRF52840 in my previous job. This family used a lot. It's in my Tado smart radiator knobs, in the AirTags. I can only compare it to FreeScale chips, but one thing that pleasantly surprise

One of the more interesting things I recently learnt about Agile (by listening to what Joe Justice did at Telsa was), that reaching the sprint goal appears to boost velocity. Thus, in the long run it's better to under-commit slightly t

My insight comes straight from the Dalai Lama's book "The Art of Happiness". He explains that often people mistake please for happiness, so he suggests that you contrast the two by asking yourself: "Will this bring me ha

Thanks for the list! #3 was a big thing for me. As for #4, I have a place where I charge my phone out of sight. I normally have mobile data turned off, so I can switch off internet access by disabling WiFi without having to worry that I can
