Re:Slow Mornings May Be a Secret to Tech-Life Balance on Friday September 06, 2019 @12:32PM (#20897094)
So it seems the "secret" to tech-life balance is choosing more life than tech? Don't get me wrong, I'm all about tech-life balance and work-life balance (which this article and the problem in general heavily overlaps with), but the secret is conciously organizing your life to have more life than tech. Part of this is finding a job that allows you to choose life outside of office hours. Having more free mornings to do things not related to tech is probably a symptom of achieving a better tech-life balance.
It's pay to play, but I think you also have to tack on that you can pay more to win a bit more (to a certain extent) and this is almost necessary to do well at events. Not that low power, casual magic isn't fun though.

Re:More evidence that autism is linked to gut bacteria on Friday May 31, 2019 @04:51PM (#20064854)
This whole comment seems to be based on the premise that eating meat leads to bad gut bacteria. Do you have any sources for that? I am genuinly curious. My mental model (which isn't based on much hard evidence) is that sugar and processed foods are the things to avoid when aiming for good gut bacteria.

What benchmark do you use for marking a kanji card as known in Anki? Do you just memorize the meaning of each kanji, or memorize the readings too? I'm looking to get back into studying japanese myself.
Definitely. I might be blind, but I don't see C++ at all in the list of skills.
