Are you able to stay completely still with your face pointing up while sleeping the whole night?? It hurts (and wake me up) in just a few minutes if I happen to fall sleep with my regular glasses on.

> ”… an exceptionally good mastery of one's native tongue …” Does that imply that one cannot be a competent programmer if working on an environment where the spoken tongue is not their native one?

For me, serverless solved a problem at the opposite side of the spectrum of “scalability”. It helped me to start new projects very easily. Since I like React and the Next framework, Vercel is a one-stop shop for me now. With their new st

I think it’s almost there. I care if people will read me (I am an amateur fiction writer), but not a competition to read me and not others. Or praise my writing more than they praise others.

I was kind of curious in what the author had to say, but his sole motivation being ”getting ahead of competitors” really put me off. Not really much thought or deep reflection on my part,I just feel that they are a type of person that I d

I started to get a lot of simple ”Hello!” and that’s it, from unknown numbers on WhatsApp. I block without replying, but I can see how a lot of people would reply returning the greeting and asking who they are.

I had the same suspicion from Brazil data. It says ~4,5 million accounts. Which is ~2% of Brazil’s population. But you have take into account that ~37% of households in Brazil have no internet access or computer. I would guess that less tha

I think you are too eager to decide that the article is scummy. For me, those two paragraphs do not say that Tan was antisemetic in any form. It says that i) some of the same people received an antisemitic hate letters before ii) those anti

Did you stop reading there? It later explains that it has same wording of ”not a threat” used in the letter with Tan’s face. This is how it connects

Not “shock” precisely, but definitely an interesting surprise to me. Thanks for posting this

That’s a very interesting observation and it would be nice to see people chiming in to speculate what could have been the trigger. My take is that narratives are growing kind of exponentially. We see it in videogames, webtoons, fan fiction.

Have you done that test? You really see no difference between two very different beans using different preparation methods? To your question. I think that’s where the economic incentives for creating and selling different variations are. Te

I don’t know about wine, but coffee do tastes different. Very different. Compare a pour over at home with a cheap supermarket brand and a espresso at a fancy coffee shop. You can say they all deliver the same “pleasure” to you and it they a

No, that’s not the post. > ” they seem to be mainly the result of wholesale swapping, deletion and rearrangement of chromosomes.” The article is fairly informative about the genetics of coffee, btw. Well worth reading.

That’s the reality in the US I think, then. Still, I am not convinced those jobs can make you earn reliably more than a software developer. Maybe equally well, but more? And that’s already discounting jobs at FAANG and Brex, that much mor

Do you think there is a career out there better than (I assume) software development? My view is that we are still in pretty good times. Maybe not great, but everyone who kept their jobs is still earning a big salary. And everything else ot

Not only in a vacuum. In some contexts, like people who don’t drink already and still have a healthy social life (like myself), it is very much real world and zero is best. Considering only the contexts where you have trade offs and use it

Good opportunity to repost how HelloFresh is a scammy company. I got tricked into a very dark-patterned coffee subscription company called Amora Coffee. I got one of their coupon with a Hello Fresh box. Which, by association, at the time in

It’s very very risky to optimize for just “good enough”. You have to build some reserve, or you risk being in the situation you are in. You don’t need to optimize to earn tons of money, but minimum threshold should more than just good enoug
