If standing is so terrible because of immobility perhaps a walking desk is the ideal solution. Remember this amazing post? https://writings.stephenwolfram.com/2019/02/seeking-the-prod...

I can't understand how Adam Neumann continues to make such insane income from all this. It's demoralizing.

Paw, which many people love, has a neat and similar feature: you can get extensions that convert the request you build in the app to any format: curl, python, etc. It's very handy. https://paw.cloud/docs/getting-st

What an incredibly depressing time to be alive.

I also found it interesting, and depressing. Of course this is off topic, but it goes without saying that plastic is convenient compared to the alternatives. "We made $160k!" but "a few diaries" show up with water damage

Incredibly ironic that your perfectly useful & reasonable reply is being downvoted.

The feed is terrible. No filtering, not ordered chronologically (which is incomprehensible to me, since instead of seeing activities as they happen, I see 5 of my buddy's activities all jammed into one batch). Challenges pollute the fe

Honest question: I'm surprised at such a hard stance against what I perceive to be an "early adopter" product. Did you not feel that buying a Tesla was a gamble?

Keep in mind that it's only like $50 CAD for 4 years. You're basically paying for the printing of the card and nothing more.

I used to work a 4-day week (a true 32-hour week, not 4 x 10 or something) and it was the greatest thing I've ever done. All the "weekend stuff" you can do on your extra day, and get two full days off. I can't believe ho

In Part 2 they brush off the fact that "a few people left the business" immediately before saying "everyone was much happier".

From a technical point of view, I keep a "master" resume with every job I've ever had. Then I do what top comment recommends, which is break out the parts I want for whatever roles I happen to be applying for. I also agree th

> I have major gripes with PEP-8, and if you ever see me using it I want you to shoot me in the face. That sounds extreme. I've never heard this before. Why?

I have to agree with you, because I've never received a package late, and I've gotten a couple in < 24 hours. Maybe Canadian shipping is better?

Dvorak and Vim works just fine. I did it, without doing any Vim rebinding of keys. It's screwy for a while but ... So is learning Dvorak. And some of the Vim stuff works better in Dvorak, so it's net basically no issue.

Does anything about this thread really surprise you though? As to be unbelievable? Do you think that other car manufacturers are that much better? I've read so many insane stories about software in Toyotas (or was it Honda?), and those

Actually Noakes (I think it was) found that reducing weight was only effective to a point. Being barefoot is definitely not faster than having shoes on. See my other comment above re: Bikila.

by symmitchry 8y ago
People have never believed that being barefoot was faster. Even Bikila ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abebe_Bikila ), who ran an Olympic world record while entirely barefoot, was faster in shoes once he got used to them

I think this is important. One of the most career oriented people I know, call him a mentor of mine, kept entire binders full of everything he did. Every accomplishment. He prepared for performance reviews like he was going to war. As a man

I'm a little confused though, by his feelings here. Why did he feel the need to "fight so hard for a PEP" if it was so controversial, and everyone was outraged? I do understand people's points about "the age of outr

The sleep deprivation thing is really surprising to me. Does anyone know why? I would be able to sleep for probably 10-12 hours a day. I wonder if they have research that shows that less sleep makes for healthier crew?

This sounds insane to say, if you haven't lived with a parent or family member with dementia, but if that happens to me I really hope I have the nerve to kill myself.

That is probably true, but what university is going to pay a prof $1M USD? I think the issue remains valid. Also I doubt it's only UK salaries that are crappy these days.

In general I agree with you, but our company is very "consistency" heavy. So someone high up has to make a decision: which framework to adopt, because once that decision is made, it's sticking for a long time. And sadly I don

Our company encouraged us to leave reviews... What a bad idea. Every new review was absolutely terrible, as expected.

If the device is not unlocked for 7 days, the USB port stops working (for anything but charging.) It won't brick the device, which can still be unlocked any time, it just prevents someone from taking more than 7 days to hack open your
