I once had a user show me his CPU spike by 50% by merely scrolling up and down a JIRA page. It was stunning.

I've had that exact same experience with my wife. I'd tell her something for weeks, months, years, without her buying into it at all--then I'd watch somebody at a party tell her the same thing and she suddenly agrees! It&#x27

In many of the cases where I've done this, I've had a worse experience. With one company, I wanted to return the product because it was defective but was never able to actually contact anyone. With another, it arrived broken and I

Even when Amazon reviews are legitimate, keep in mind that the reviewer may have been looking for something different than you are. Plenty of times I've bought stuff expecting one level of quality based on review scores, but got someth

I don't even have kids yet and I'm also only able to complete books via sped-up audiobooks. It's a really great way to get through them. For fiction, go for something with a professional narrator. Jim Dale's Harry Potter

In theory the ISA should incentivize the bootcamp to work hard on the student's behalf. If they don't get high-paying jobs, the bootcamp doesn't get paid back. From what I've read though, they actually bundle the ISAs an

Bad title. The study referenced is claiming that the compensatory rise in appetite that comes with exercise seems to be about 1000 calories per week. So only working out 1000 calories worth doesn't help, but working out more does. Of c

Frankly, why do couches cost so much? I'd like e-ink and furniture prices to both trend down.

Meditation and pomodoro help me to maintain focus. Also having a clear todo list with concrete small actions to take makes it easier to keep going.

I think it's a move away not from WordPress specifically, but the kind of structure a "blog" providers. Personal sites for so long have been: home, about, portfolio, blog. Digital gardens seem to be more along the lines of: I

My wife and I have learned the hard way: figure out first if the people leaving reviews value what you value, then look at the number of stars.

Not just in terms of data preservation, but also in the amounts and the ever-quicker shifts of context. I can barely understand the controversy of the day on Twitter as it is, and I'm living through it. I don't know how future his

This only works if you can remember what you stopped in the middle of. I often come back to projects with no idea what I was last doing, so now I've got some half-finished bit to figure out rather than something that could be clearly u

Agree that I've never had DPI scaling issues with macOS. But Windows? All the damn time! They still haven't got that figured out.

You predicament reminds me of The Four Tendencies by Gretchen Rubin. The tendencies are based around whether you respond or don't respond to expectations, and whether the expectations are internal or external. From how you've desc

Last year I went to Europe for a two week vacation. I stuffed myself like a greedy pig for two weeks, but I barely gained any weight on my return to the US. The next week, I went on a staff retreat for only 3 days and stuffed myself again.

I've had a similar DEXA experience. My last scan put me at 30% fat, whereas my scale estimate 16% and a 3D external scan estimated 18%. My appearance does not match typical pictures of someone at 30% body fat. In fact, at 30% I would b

I honestly don't know how my grandparents ate. Between their generation and my parents', a lot of traditional food knowledge was lost. My maternal grandmother made all sorts of things from scratch--but I can't recall my mom m

As someone with close ties to an existing third party, they shouldn't put much hope on forming one and seeing it succeed. The American electoral system makes it nearly impossible for third parties to gain traction. And that's befo

I used the think I needed Facebook to keep in touch with friends. That is, until I pulled 3 months' worth of my data and categorized it. I realized I wasn't using it to keep in touch with friends at all, and was just mindlessly sh

Since going keto, my dental health has improved a lot. I've never received such praise from my dentists! Giving the bad bacteria no carbs to feed on has done wonders.

Small and stupid, but I'll share anyway. I started playing the new Animal Crossing and wanted a good reference for all the fish and bugs to catch. I wasn't happy with static tables that were hard to sort and filter, so I created t

This reminds me of Sam Harris's guided meditation app. One of the common questions raised in the guided meditations is whether or not you can observe the part of your mind that is generating your thoughts. His suggestion is that you ca

Is it me, or does this landing page for a UI platform contain very few examples of what that UI looks like and how you might use it?

The React docs are excellent. But many (if not most) other projects have woefully under-developed docs that offer confusion more than clarity. I wouldn't blame anyone for assuming that the docs are not the place to start for learning

As someone who works in policy, his response was about as good as I could hope for from someone not involved in policy normally. Talking privately to credible people, working with experts, and getting the message to media channels, are all

For a hundred markdown files, no big deal. But if your site has tens of thousands of pages, those build times become a real pain point. Why should every single page rebuild if you only changed one of them?

I noticed this last week when a coworker asked if he could get one. A normally $40 Logitech webcam was selling for $136 with very long waiting/shipping times. I told him, no, he cannot have a webcam...
