This is a misnomer according to a recent guest on the Joe Rogan podcast. Granted that might not be the best source, I reflected on that and the chemistry makes sense. Vitamins primarily will leach out via osmosis. Osmosis works by gradients

I agree that the navigation is top notch in Vim. But after getting comfortable with navigation and general operation of vim, it opened up macros as a means of using it. Then recently I've come to appreciate how well Vim composes with &

What I've come to observe is that you can never make everyone happy - a truism detached from this specific incident. So when you receive negative feedback on something - how should you respond? What if you're used to some certain

Have you ever tried to teach someone something physical before? Maybe in the best case scenario you could have a multi-camera 4k, low latency setup. But how many students have the means and space to configure that? For everyone else, the te

Kind of too long for an HN post but long distance running is all a game of efficiency. Good breathing makes sure your oxygen levels are working for you rather than against you. I remember subtle things like switching between calmer breathin

Good point. Thinking about it, I achieved similar benefits from marathon running and at the time I now realise I was taking breathing quite seriously (understandably). I actually find controlled breathing is very good for regulating pain.

Your intuition isn't bad but there is an emerging space of research amongst biomechanics and physiotherapists about how breathing is coupled to the nervous system. You could argue that maybe anything that raises your breathing rate thr

You're completely right - but I guess my point is that anything that has a number attached to it is often treated as fact in the media. In the very strictest sense of verifiable fact - boolean true/false statements with irrefutabl

Yes my findings match yours. "Gains" take much more focus and dedication than just showing up. That is true for muscle mass, performance, side projects and learning.

I actually quite like JS, but I almost feel bad for people who discover it as their first foray into programming. I mean it's great because it makes programming more accessible to non devs. But man is it unfortunate that JS was the lan

JS is a really horrible language to learn from the perspective of a teacher. So many concepts dumped on you all at once. Before you even know what a function is, you have the entire DOM API dumped on you and is available in the global scope

As a counterpoint, Clojure is considerably more permissive because it is dynamically typed: CLJS has some warts due to the compiled JS being hard to understand (use source-maps) and the Clojure error messages being bad is now a meme but if

@swannodette In the library case does the cljs built library need a clojure runtime bundled? Or does banning eval and running it through Closure allow for only the bare minimum to be pulled through?
