I haven't read his book, so I don't know how much of a kook or grifter I would judge this guy to be, and I'm always dubious about things, but I try to remember that even kooks and grifters sometimes (not always!) have…
That's fascinating, I just did some reading on this - I had not known that the basic technique of "mewing" is very similar if not identical to something that's been practiced in yoga for thousands of years. That in…
I had a similar experience, with a slightly different approach (mouth tape and a nose dilator) but seemingly similar outcome. I like that you did it just through exercises with no mechanical intervention. Inspiring.
I had bad sleep apnea until last year, sleeping 8-9 hours a night and usually feeling tired in the morning. As of the last 12 months it seems to be heald, after I used mouth tape and a nasal dilator consistently for 30…
From my perspective, your reply supports the article's point. Yes, the inner and outer circles are paid well. And yes, nothing is completely black and white, there are spectrums in many dimensions. Everything is…
I was an engineer in the "outer circle" who quit and lived for four months with "untouchables" in a homeless camp. When I was an engineer I definitely felt the artificial distance between me (a human being) and a large…
I don't think this applies to division by zero. But I expect that in general, for most things humans consume, as efficiency has increased, consumption has increased too.
Coal consumption increased steadily since 1865 and is almost at its all time high right now. There was a tiny dip in the last few years, but oil consumption is still increasing.
Google has team offices for some teams. My first year here my team was split in two 5-person offices with doors. For the last year we were in an open office space. Soon we're moving again and some of us will be in team…
Does HN need a top banner saying that it's April 1?
Some places are really beautiful, but would not be less beautiful just because people can enjoy them. Maybe the solution is to preserve these places until we have relatively cheap tech (like quadcopter drones) that can…
Hopefully they make a way for arrays to be stack-allocated and passed by value too and take a step ahead of C# in this department. :)
Anyone writing Minecraft in C# would use a struct for the position vector. There's no good reason to frown upon it in this case.
There can be two allocations when you call String.Split, one at the calling site where you create the array of delimiters to pass in, and one inside that creates the String[] to return. The parent refers to the first,…
As a long time paid Fastmail user, Fastmail will probably stay as good as it is for longer if we don't tell everyone about it! :)
> "Don't worry! There won't be any permanent damage..." What I don't understand is how we can know that?
I agree that computer literacy is becoming as important for everyone as reading/writing and arithmetic skills. What I'm unsure about though is which specific skills and knowledge are most important. For instance, a huge…

It's not necessarily what google expects you to think, but rather what you are most likely to be searching for. Sometimes people search for content that they might not agree with, because they want to see what is being…

Chrome has a default zoom setting. I have it at 150%.
Do we all disdain math, writing, science, and history because they are forced? I imagine most of us did to some extent, but then again, some of the forced skills have turned out to be useful. I'm not arguing for either…
There's that, and also the fact that cpus aren't getting faster as much as they used to. I imagine if my cpu was still doubling in single-core power every couple years that there would be dev tools that could make use…
For me to be able to even guess at where I fit, either "coder" needs to be defined, or the poll needs to be "how many coders do you think are better than you" not as a percentage of coders, but as a percentage (or…
No, but we who could stand up and confront those people do. And we can be encouraged to do so by this kind of post.
