Yin yoga is a very slow stretching technique. If I can't sleep I Google "yin yoga for sleep" or "yoga for sleep" or some similar combination and do one of the 30 min vids. I find not only do I fall asleep quickly, b

1. Learn regex properly and thoroughly, in one go. Learning it incrementally, will take a lot more time in the long run. 2. Write code that works reasonably well, then refactor it to be smart/elegant.

Hi Bozho, thanks so much for your help over the years. SO might be in decline, but it's one of those few products that makes you realise that better product design can change things for the better.

Related to a lot of discussion comments, I highly recommend "A Random Walk Down Wallstreet" by Burton Malkiel. https://www.amazon.com/Random-Walk-Down-Wall-Street/dp/03933...

Not sure if this is what you're asking, but if fund returns are random but different, then someone is going to have the best performing fund. Let's say the best performing fund is (fictional) Xanadu Investments we'd ask, how

That sounds exactly right, once we reach a tipping point it will happen quickly. I think it's a lot like the 'paper less office'. It was talked about for a decade before it happened and it wasn't a linear progression. At

I understand this is just the basics, but the URL is also crucial. Keywords in the URL (that match the page content) will give you order of magnitude better results.

There's also another phenomenon at play. The probability that a particular rare event occurs is very rare. But the probability that any one of many, many possible rare events occurs is actually much higher. More concretely: If you hav

It's all about when it was done. Before the GFC everyone believed that if you were rich you were smart and the opposite. If you challenged this you were a loser. Then along came a cranky old uncle, who had no business being in the buil

Perhaps this is a little off-topic, but I'm convinced we can save a lot of water by replacing showering with steaming (followed by super short shower to rinse). I recently bought a facial steamer for allergy issues. 50ml of water get&#

Pre-euro Australia was more like Europe with different tribes/nations that shared common characteristics yet still had their own languages and cultures. Compare and contrast the difference in sophistication between the Romans and the g

There's an important idea I feel is being missed. Something can be true "in distribution" but not true in a "pathwise" sense. That means, over the long run, for most people, on average x is true. But for specific in

Yes I agree. The real question is, would removing the extra 10 million results give you a distinct advantage? I don't feel it would.

I think the real problem is that "marketing job" and "field marine biology study" are preferred to teaching. Finding a way to make teaching a job people want, and keep wanting after doing it for a while, is the key.
