!! the day has come :)
I use Roam, and I've had my eye on your project for many months now, so I'm super excited to see you come so far. I'm also passionate about privacy and having control over my data - IIRC the way Roam handles image…
I think your reply reinforces a conclusion I drew from the OP's reply - that the common thread here is to work on _building_ things that exist at lower levels of abstraction, rather than just knowing how to use them as…
I have heard of Nand2tetris, but I always thought it fell more into the 'read a textbook' bucket than the 'do your own technically challenging project to reinforce the learning' one. But I guess it's a project-based…
I wish the author went into more detail about how to come up with "high leverage side projects" that help cultivate the type of fundamental CS knowledge he emphasises. Most of the suggestions I see for potential side…
She did actually use tags, not mutually exclusive categories: > Another cool feature of the way I was logging my data was that I could log more than one activity into a single time slot (walking and listening to a…
Thanks for commenting! I hear what you're saying, but I think it's perfectly possible to injure your back with bodyweight exercises over time. Even if we're just talking about yoga, there's a good amount of evidence…
Thanks for the tips, much appreciated :)
This is great to hear, that currently is me in various forms - start doing squats in the gym and my knees hurt, play a lot of tennis and something else hurts, etc. I really enjoy the few 10 minute yoga videos I've tried…
Wow. Super comprehensive guide, thank you so much. I'm going to try this out by cooking my rice in the microwave next time, and try and take it from there. I already did vegetables and sweet potatoes in there, but…
I'm also very curious to hear how a meal can be cooked in just a microwave. I have severe food allergies and this would be great especially when I travel and stay in places that don't have a full kitchen. Can you point…
I see (and agree) with the appeal for simplicity in microwaves. But having owned microwaves of both types, I did really like the ability to precisely set/see the amount of time a microwave program would run via a…
I spent around 7 years at 30 mins/day - I was happy with it there, it was more of a casual thing for me at that time. Then I read some books, starting with The Mind Illuminated, and increased to 1hr/day over 4-5 months.…
Very cool to see an ex-monk here. I've had a regular 2hr/day practice for a decade now but no retreats yet. What kind of meditation did you practice? Would you say that you achieved some level of Awakening, and that any…
I know bodyweight is no perfect substitute and you probably already know this, but you can still have progressions of bodyweight exercise variants in a way that mimics progressive overload of weight to some extent.…
Very cool story. Thank you for whatever you've done to help :) (and your spelling looks perfect to me).
I grew up in Tanzania! Can I ask where you were, and what you were doing? BTW - I had malaria about 5-6 times while growing up. What you describe sounds like a particularly bad case (1-2 of mine were like that). My…
