Anything less than the following is just displaying lack of morality in our whole society: Elizabeth Holmes and her boyfriend Balwani are absolute psychopaths without remorse or conscience. We should not give them this much attention. I can

My personal "record" is little above 5 full days, without sleeping even a single minute. Without going into details, I had a traumatic event and I couldn't fall asleep. Interestingly, I didn't feel that tired. On the las

Just my experience, but I didn't wake up during the surgery; I had a surgery with half of my body paralyzed. My vital signs remained stable (in particular, heart rate <= 60 and blood pressure 120/80). I was exceptionally fit

That definitely happens, but there's a lot to be gained of visiting places for some time (couple of months). For one thing, you can copy local businesses and spread awareness in your country for something that the markets didn't e

Spot on article. I always preferred spending more than couple of days at a place (say, couple of months, if possible), just to see how it really is. Try to be one of them (locals) during the months you are there. Also, walk. Walk in random

Little bit off topic, but if anyone is on the fence about STM32, I strongly suggest trying out STM32 Black pill 3.3V version ( https://wiki.stm32duino.com/images/5/52/Black_Pill_Schematic... ). It's an am

I feel like the art of UNIX is slowly fading into oblivion, especially with the new generation of programmers/developers. Eventually, they'll become the ones that decide the fate of software engineers (by being hiring managers, et

It's a great question. I would have asked the same. I think that a quality relationship is based on trust, respect, loyalty, kindness and understanding. Be it friendship or a romantic one. As mentioned, I have generalized my thoughts b

Oh absolutely! Not sure where I conveyed anything different, but I agree with you.

Oh, I wasn't talking about me (in that paragraph). Maybe it wasn't clear. (If you want, we can talk about me, I have no problems with that - I think I am unusually lucky in this department though :), based on everything I see arou

First of all, I completely disagree with this article. Anecdotally, I always had insane amount of will-power compared to my peers/people that I can gauge. From the article: "But if, for example, the change is to eat fewer sweets,

"Requirement" is too strong a word. We've all read the Harvard 75 years old study [0] probably here, cause it was posted couple of times on HN, but I for one side with Chamfort: "Happiness is very difficult to find in yo

Reading the other comments made me think about my withdrawal from coffee. I woke up one day after reading a book about the (detailed) effects of coffee and I stopped drinking. Forever. Used to drink like 3-4 espressos (big cups) per day for

Well, not sure how much I agree with "good software" having read this: https://twitter.com/atomicthumbs/status/1032939617404645376 With some googling, you can find the original thread in Something Awful

That's widely inaccurate, as far as I know. After you spend your glycogen reserves and then fat, then and only then the muscle tissue is broken and eventually used as energy. That happens if you have no other source of energy (starvati

Why do you need to gain mass at all? That makes no sense at all. Why would you voluntarily make yourself heavier? You are taxing your organs and your whole body. Stay lean, stay fit and stay strong, you do not need mass for anything else ot

OT: 'dialectic' and 'dialectics' are two of the most misused words that I see on regular basis. It is as if people want to use that word in particular, no matter the subject. Really interesting phenomenon.

OT, but you are not alone - I also thought it wasn't that good as it was claimed. I've seen it recommended many times on HN.. I can't understand why. Now when I read the title, I immediately think of doors and handles.

It helps if you have a hobby you can make a use of / that you are good at. For example, carpentry, metalworking and electronics (and low-voltage electrician) are some things that interest me in my free time, and it looks like you can m
