Be careful with the exercise remedy. It's easy to overdue it and cause more inflammation and stress via elevated cortisols, etc..

You know of 0 species that would strongly disagree, because those several million species don't have the capacity to agree or disagree on whether "wiping out humanity is a bad thing". And you don't speak for them, no matter how much caring about the planet you think you're doing.

If it's tedious, you're probably doing something wrong or sub-optimal. Or you're just dealing with a bit of hairy old javascript that probably needs a bit of refactoring in any case.
No, it's going to be more tedious 100% of the time. Now, if that tedium helps you in the long-rum is up for you to decide.

Re:The Problem of Mindfulness
on Saturday July 27, 2019 @07:42PM (#20544932)
I've been skirting around the idea of practicing mindfulness, but there's something that bothers me about aeon and "magazines" like it.
The articles always seem to try to be "contrarian" or "unique" for the sake of being different - "I've got something to tell you that you don't know and you haven't thought about".
I get that it's pretty much the point of aeon, but at some point it just gets annoying. It's almost like any kind of insight into something is way down the totem pole, below some kind of "shock, contrarian, unique" factor.
Great stuff. We need more of these types of science tidbits on HN. And good links by the commenters too.
I love Feynman's classic style of "explaining to a 5 year old" on Cold Welding.
The reason for this unexpected behavior is that when the atoms in contact are all of the same kind, there is no way for the atoms to “know” that they are in different pieces of copper. When there are other atoms, in the oxides and greases and more complicated thin surface layers of contaminants in between, the atoms “know” when they are not on the same part.

Still, they’re afraid of speaking out — not just because of the repercussions from the company, but also from their colleagues who may be right-leaning.
That's a lie, and everybody knows that it's a lie. Nobody believes that they're afraid of "colleagues who may be right-leaning". Everybody knows it's right-leaning employees are afraid to speak out.
So the tactic they use very child-like, but effective. It's the same one that Carlos Maza and Vox used. Play the victim card, while really being the attacker, hater, aggressor.
But of course, the simpletons at Google are either too stupid or all too willing to always bite.

Re:Extreme loneliness or perfect balance? How to work from home and st...
on Monday March 25, 2019 @04:11PM (#19486320)
I work from home and most of that article rings true. Because of my personality, I don't feel lonely, but sometimes in the morning I do want to watch the news or something on youtube in the background just to break "the silence" of sleep and getting ready to sit down at my desk.
All-in-all though I really enjoy working from home. Sure beats some open-office environment. I guess in an "ideal" situation we'd have a conference room/shared space to bring laptops to if we wanted to, but we just end up meeting at a bar or restaurant, bring our laptops, when we feel the need for face-to-face.
