Insomnia
How do you guys all seem to have these experiences? I'm in Europe and would not have a clue how to test this.
I had someone contact me after a few years had passed to give this type of feedback. It felt great. The world needs more weirdos.

You need to stop making up deadlines for yourself when things will be ready. Similarly with your IM people lose confidence in you if you are not delivering what you say you will. Just say you are working towards something until it is ready, to avoid this.

Good luck in the future. You clearly have a lot going for you.

Re:Four kinds of documentation on Friday October 18, 2019 @07:37AM (#21290426)
This is brilliant.

"Explanation - Topic" sounds a bit wonky as a section/title. Does anyone have a suggestion what to call those types of articles?

I've traveled a lot and Osaka holds a special place in my heart. I felt so peaceful and relaxed, despite being a major city.
It looks great. Do you know of any good tutorials for Tailwind to accompany the site?
Re:Lessons learned from rewriting code on Saturday June 15, 2019 @01:06PM (#20190898)
This makes me think of groovehq who just recently forced all their customers on to their new rewritten from scratch product.

This after one full year of their customers begging them not to.

So now they have a new modern (in the 2017 sense) product which is worse in many ways and with a whole set of new bugs. And some very unhappy customers.

Improve your products. Don't replace them.

I don't believe noise is solved until I see a video of it.
How would you design presentation preparation with that in mind? Or anything for that matter?

Bad diet is much more likely the culprit.

FireFox is not an option. It is an order of magniturd slower than Chrome.

Does anyone know anything about the memory usage of Edge?

Re:Airbnb to Acquire HotelTonight on Thursday March 07, 2019 @02:38PM (#19331419)
Having lived in close to a 100 airbnb apartments soon and never once experienced an issue with the checking and checkout or a larger concern about the quality or communication, I'd recommend you to give it another go if you have the chance. Because your concerns are not warranted.

Yes it seemed like a big overreaction from Youtubes side.

I enjoy his channel, so I really hope it doesn't affect the output.

Re:They Thrive on All-Meat Diet (1929) on Saturday February 16, 2019 @07:57AM (#19178381)
Contrary to your beliefs there is lot's of data in favor of an all plant based diet (which i do not follow so I do not push any agenda here).

The data has been pretty clear since the early 90s and the large population studies that were made then.

Didnt someone do a summary of that book in like a single page somewhere? As in, there were good ideas but it could be summed up to a short paper. I can't find the link now.

Is this on YouTube? I can't find the talk.
Have you ever tried one? They are amazing in so many ways. Silent, compact and environmentally friendly.

They are everywhere here in Malta and it is reducing traffic congestion very noticeably.

Well the rules should be known just as laws are, not a personal opinion by Mr Inifinitypants.

I think the concept of social credit has a lot of merits. But the risk for overreach is substantial unfortunately.

I'd love to get rid of people who are unable to ride a train like a social human from the trains and lock people out of cinemas who can't behave as one should expect.

This is too stupid to answer to, but have you noticed Yao Ming and Britney Spears do not look the same? Good.

Now have you noticed carbon atoms are strikingly similar? Good, almost there.

Somewhere in-between these two views unique features emerge. Tell me where on the scale of atom to human the quads are? There is plenty in these pictures that is unique in the two persons depicted.

There is no need to lie to make a good argument for exercise. This image belong on your grandmothers Facebook page at best.

The patterns on the 40 and 70 year old triathlete match far too well. I'm calling bullshit. The "70 year old triathlete" scan is just further up the leg of the 40 year old.
