What I gather is that eating less = living longer, and living better. Skipping lunch "feels hard" only at first, supposedly. Friends have been doing the no lunch thing for other reasons and report that after several weeks you just

_Obviously_ until conclusive double blind controlled studies have been done, this is all hypothesis. The science behind the "longevity clock check" with by testing methaliations seems legit though doesn't it? I'm just a

The work from Dr. Sinclair, and various other scientist seems to agree that its not just weight and body shape, you actually live longer and have less illnesses throughout your life. Really fascinating stuff - the Lifespan podcast really ch

I've been told things like "eat less" and "exercise", and indeed have told those myself too. But its really hard to scrape the motivation to do either. Like you have a plate of "stuff" and you would choose

Maybe you didn’t read the article? It was explained pretty convincingly the order of events and who is responsible… Either way though I think the organizer of this “special operation” is ultimately to blame don’t you agree?

There can always be a revolution. I bet the international community will be a lot more lenient if the new government had the appearance of making russia a functioning democratic state (regardless of whether that was actually the case) Also

One thing that I found working in a bigger organisation is just how well React encapsulates Design Systems. You can have a dedicated team of talented frontend engineers that builds a really solid design system, and then other folks building

I don't think Payhawk are a payment processor, they use MasterCard under the hood. They are more like aggregator and analytics for corporate payment accounts.

Maybe, but in my experience whenever I encounter an incomprehensible mess of hooks it usually ends up because devs were not using all the tools that react provides. For example a flurry of setStates could be wrapped up in one single state.

Thats the thing - they’ve passed the mandatory military service, so they know how to follow orders and maintain discipline, but they went home and became doctors/programmers, now that there’s war, they are given arms and asked to remem

Fast. Like more than 48 hours water only. First of all it kinda puts you in this “survival” state where while not feeling hungry per say, you’re on high alert and can concentrate like crazy. And after you finish you feel rejuvenated and exc

Sad thing is that now with conscription, if you are male 18-55, Ukraine side will force you to fight that war, at least as far as I understand it. What a fucked up world we live in…

The great thing about software is that “more” can not just be people, it can be “more software”. The way I hope to end my career is in IC, building tools that make other devs/the org more productive. Building software that multiplies o

Thats a bleak (if maybe correct) outlook on life! I think the old maxim “success if where preparation meats opportunity” is very true. You cannot usually control for the “opportunity” side but without preparation you’ll definitely miss a lo

You can get a bike rental from the city center, and bike on an uninterrupted bike lane to a nature preserve outside of the city - a literal forest. First time I’ve seen a bike highway in nature and I think its incredibly amazing. Definitely

To be honest, while “Ciudad de las artes y ciencias” looks amazingly cool at a distance, its kind of “shallow” when you come up close. In the sence that there isn’t much to do or discover once you’re inside the whole thing. For me it felt l

Honestly, the thing that made me “grok” flexbox, and actually start thinking in it, was figma’s auto layout. As a dev from the 2000s, I had tables and floats seared into my mind. Any design problem layout problem boiled down to that, and I

I think the message of channels like “not just bikes” is that even if 2 acres and a truck for everybody was economical, its actually not desirable long term. Its just _so nice_ to live in a place with no traffic jams and your kids (and you

Eastern Europe limit is usually about 140kph, and everybody frequently speeds a bit. With a waze app to check for cameras/policemen you can easily do 160kph in a dingy corolla. People with expensive german cars usually go 220kph up to

It's anecdotal I know, but my mother _did_ get -4 down to -1 just with exercises every morning and evening for several months, so I'm sure it _is_ possible at least with some individuals. It just requires work and dedication. On t

This was one of the revelations for me from the “seven habits” book. Adversarial relationships can be a great motivator, but it remains an external one. Depending on someone else to be the vehicle of your success is risky - they might not c
