There are many books, but in the end this can't be thought in a book. Bodhipath is probably a good place, they also have lots of online things to read: https://bodhipath.org/ . It's more focused on the compassion p

Walking or exercise also have that effect, similar to mindfulness, if that's your goal. Therapy in itself has limited scientific backing (specific types for specific diagnosis often do). But it feels rational. However the main point is

Mindfulness took one small technique out of the Buddhist system that feels rational & scientific. It kind of works. But the corpus of Buddhism is what makes it powerful. And this is hard to make palatable for the West. The main goal of

I didn;t know to be honest. So good point, thanks for clarification. However I dove into it, Boiling wasn't always easy, so they didn't always heat it properly for sterilization: https://byo.com/article/raw-al

Yeah I've seen that in Spain as well, they have small cold beers at lunch and then get back to their day. Here in north if we drink during lunch, we keep going.

I never understood the sterilizing theory, it coincides with the claims these times they also had mostly low alcohol types of beverages, such a beer and ale. The sterilizing only really happens in modern wine level alcohol (14%).

A big shift was also coffee. Works much better for focus work, and also gives a slight high (big in the beginning). The coffee & alcohol cycle is also an interesting one in the West High paced work environment & coffee jacking up yo

I would understand it more as an api service, or JS lib to plug into a project. Although still hard for me te imagine the case where you have invoice that's not attached to your administration somewhere. Unless you just have excel or s

Yeah to be honest, I run a k8s cluster now for my saas. But about 4 times more expensive then my previous company I ran on a VPS. And scaling is the same that VPS I could just scale the same way. Run a resize in my hosting company panel. (I

Depends on what you define as a "company". For the last decade contracting/freelancing has been paying consistently the salary in the upper ranges discussed in the above article, from my experience living in the NL. Taking a

They are bad. Some concepts like rebase etc. I still don't understand. In software we often go for further complexity instead of less. I think because most of us who are the lead developers are often the most intelligent. And we often

It's hard to believe something can be as powerful as to relieve depression, while at the same time not having any downside or risk.

It's hardly personal, society kinda collapse if people stop having kids. And it's also not personal in the sense that the government often takes an active role in raising and educating kids (wether you like it or not).

Except it isn't. Already lots of diseases linked to pesticides. Will only be more in the years to come. It's clear that at least farmers and also people living in pesticides ridden areas suffer many diseases, for instance Parkinso

Well this is about soil, it might also just be that organic pesticides break down better. I don't know much about the US rules. But I also know here it's popular to say "well just because it's organic, doesn't mean

Same with on paper. And true I don't like multiple choice for that reason. However in my experience it's much easier to check from a distance if they are messing around or not with a computer. And computer won't easily allow

From personal experience teaching a small kid that does really well one on one learning. But with paper absolutely nothing. One of the big benefits is of computers vs books: being able to directly give automated feedback. Pronounce or type

I was walking in Glasgow, everything felt grey, bland and depressive. At some point I realized they have zero trees in the streets. Also means no bird sounds in the background, no green leaves adding some colors to the concrete, no blossomi

In the Netherlands we had a fine given to the Dutch Tax office for a huge scandal, which is even more ironic. In politics, and maybe corporates, there has to be a line that at some point also personal charges can be made, or persons can be

Somewhat related to your idea, they seem to have some success with parasitic therapy with things like Crone. Introduce a "harmless" parasite (worm) and the body's immunesystem to trigger it. Not sure how long they keep it in

Well the government bills always get filtered out for me, I agree with gmail that it's spam however the goverment doesn't agree when I didn't pay a few times. So opposite is even worse.

This is not a problem of therapy, but a question of meaning. We need meaning in live. And for a long time religion gave that. But we threw that out. We now try to get "profesional therapy help". But it hardly has any scientific ba

Deutsche Bahn is a disaster. Extreme delays up to 2 hours more often then not. Rude staff. Forcing moms with kids out of the train by police. Travelled for 3 summers through germany, now just take the plane.
