The point of "downsizing", related to "downshifting", is to remove the excess largess western cultures have grown accustomed to. To some anyway. It is also a voluntary choice so no need to worry about concentration apartment buildings whe

Yes. 90m2 is huge considering actual needs of two people. Half that is still comfortable. A third is livable. It may be a big shift down from what someone had before, and may even seem normal-sized by current standards but that is only be

The topic was "downsizing" :) My somewhat educated guess is that recent and current construction have been a bit smaller than Belgium. The law says new apartment buildings, for example, have to have an average apartment size of 75m2 but I

With respect, 1000 sq.ft. (about 92m2 for those of us using sane units) for two is not "downsizing". You are suffering from space blindness. About 75m2 (800ish sq.ft.) is comfortable for a family of three, and you can certainly get by with

Yep, indeed. Though still worth a read for the comments alone. Nowadays Rubinius' JIT VM is implemented with LLVM and, obviously, is much more sophisticated.

All this is only undermined by the fact that the financial sector and the stock market in particular involves mostly fictitious money. There is no problem that it solves that could not also be solved by saying "here, I conjured you a millio

Declaring two different types on the same line is fraught with confusion, so it is to be avoided.

I think an exhaustive answer is "mu". Focusing on the tools instead of the problem is bad.

Not to minimise their accomplishments but, once again, the table has been set pretty well by decades of publicly funded research and development. It is actually possible to be vertically integrated again with all the shared know-how.

I would classify this as a "great to know but not in any way essential" for someone, so I am curious why you actually take a chart with you? How do you use it? I can understand using a chart to plan things out ahead of time, though to me it

Interesting article, if a bit involved. Sheldon Brown (of course) has a calculator for gearing: http://www.sheldonbrown.com/gears/ . Due to the terrain here, I have a 50/34 front (compact cranks) and 11-25 cassette., and a preferred cadenc

Is there some epidemic of calling self-employed people and freelancers "unemployed" that I am not aware of?

Yep, this, always. Plus a sweatshirt with hood in case it is cold which is almost always. I do not even wear jeans; compression tights are the only compromise and not much of one if you go for the good ones. If you need to go straight to a

Dunno if this is really a useful line of thinking for a beginner. I wholeheartedly agree with the advice of not overdoing it from the article. Particularly squats. Nothing better to wreck your knees or back than squats done with too much we

Yoga is perfectly good for "getting into shape" and there are several varieties with emphasis on strength, especially static strength. (Of course, "in shape" means different things to different people. I prefer endurance/cardio, many others
