Yep, reddit also does this. Since I am not native English speaker and I am expat in a European country, this is super frustrating.

Really cool! Bookmarked for inspiration when programming drums
Re:The Roots of Fear: Understanding the Amygdala on Tuesday November 05, 2024 @03:53PM (#42055058)
I remember something similar being mentioned in a podcast by Huberman, that dreams serve to get used to stuff that we fear, in a nutshell. Maybe not directly stuff that we fear, but maybe stuff that makes us uncomfortable? Dreams are a way to teach us stuff that seem essential to us but we found them uncomfortable to face.

Interesting research topic by the way. I will take a look at your paper.

I mean, a whole sea of WordPress developers still use JQuery. It's still out there and thriving.

Well, I haven't read it but it sounds like it could easily be a multi episode documentary on YouTube or even Netflix.

Care to share the code of this project? I am looking to build something similar.

OP I like you. You are a refreshing voice in the current tech jungle. I think your post clicked for me and made me think about my projects/ideas and how to approach them.

So, thank you I guess. I would like to see more of your stuff and your approaches.

Omg, the boulder thing is something that happened to me a lot when I was a kid. Then it stopped for many years and then at some point I could do it again. I don't know you can make it happen. It scares me a little bit to tell you the truth. If it happens now days I try to shake it off.

But yes, wth is that thing?

This is a great idea and I think I heard a few good ideas and even thought of my self a few, about how Reddit could be more profitable. Which is weird, why they went with the API model. It's really suspicious. It's like they want to raise its value fast and dump it. It really looks like the want to sell Reddit.
Re:Man Cures Acid Reflux By Eating Upside-Down on Sunday May 28, 2023 @06:39PM (#36108469)
This is one of the worst experiences one can have. Add that the fact that you are sleeping... It's so terrible
How do you feel afterwards? Let's say after a hard working session with music on. Because I just like you, use music for concentration and I can pull some long hours, but afterwards I have difficulties calming down. Maybe it's because I am tired, but I have some suspicion that the dopamine hit from music might be the culprit.

How can one work while walking?
Lots of porn. Lots of audio samples. Lots of wacky little image files. 10/10 I would visit again

I feel that the genre of audio documentaries didn't catch up all that much. At least to my opinion, because I never listened to anyone. Maybe that genre is in decline? The long form discussion podcasts to my opinion are going better and better. To me, the unedited long discussions between people, or even monologues, is podcasting.

Good idea! Will definitely try out Enso. Also, I was almost tempted to reach out for a quick talk and say hi! Maybe some other time I will schedule a 1-on-1! Kudos for being easily approachable. You seem like a fun and interesting person

Nice article. Curious about whether Go fits your needs and would it be your choice if you would change be choosing a new language nowadays.

> i wonder if the average professional coder, still has. chance to beat the big teams ?

I shared the sentiment but I have began to think otherwise. First of all, we need solutions to big problems. I wouldn't want to tackle Brain tumor problems using DL but someone with the brainpower and resources such as NVIDIA, why not?

But besides that, the whole scientific field is pretty young. An average coder or DL researcher isn't useless because Google has all the machines. There are fields where DL isn't used much. Even in the DL field there are problems to solve. Algorithms to optimize.

Well, I would say that by eliminating foods is only part of the problem and can guarantee you success. I think changing the way we eat and live is better.

For starters, you could eliminate the extra-processed foods from your diet and add more natural sources of food.

Then you could follow a regiment of 2-3 meals a day. Put the protein heavy + fatty foods in the first meal of the day and the carbs heavy foods as last meals.

Make sure you are eating enough nutrients. Don't be afraid of salt.

Add lots of fermented food cause there is a link with improving the gut and its ability to fight inflammations.

Add movement and exercise, and make them a habit. Get a fitness buddy.

Make sure you are a getting regular good sleep.

I would recommend you a great podcast series called the Huberman lab, where this Stanford professor offers great insights about how the body works and what are the latest news from various research fields.

Great job OP, this app is super helpful. Does this app still aggregate books from comments or was it a one time thing?

Is it ok to call these type of applications crowdsourcing?

I'm in the exact same situation as you (played piano for years, then stopped, and now want to get back to it).

The only difference is that I have a few keyboards at my disposal, but again, I don't touch them... I need to get back at playing and creating music.

Re:How to Escape Loneliness on Friday September 17, 2021 @04:03AM (#28562563)
That was a great read in a time I feel overwhelmed by a lot of stuff, loneliness being one of them.

> Seek Collectives

Being passionate about geeky stuff can be a lonely hobby if you live in a small city of a small country. Even at my job, I am the only developer at my department.

But what shocked me most while interviewing for a remote position, was the fact that it was difficult for me to talk about tech and describe what I previously did. The thing I am doing for a few years now and I couldn't talk normally about it, and it shocked me that I didn't have trained that "specific social muscle" at all because I don't have anyone to talk to about technology.

Now I am looking for better opportunities abroad, which is another amplifier of loneliness.

Exercise isn't always aerobic. Resistance and weight training which causes a muscle buildup can help you lose weight because your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) increases while you build more muscle.

Now if you combine aerobic and anaerobic training strategically, while you have your eating habits checked, you can lose that quarantine weight in no time. This is what i am doing now.

Wait this is a notebook similar to pythons' notebook but it's a docker environment where I can install a lot of stuff I want and then do even more stuff? Am i getting this right?

It's like a shell to a vm but in a notebook format that you can then use to blog?
