Cool idea, but the results aren’t particularly revealing

In all seriousness I think the recent advancements are groundbreaking but will plateau soon

The Other Brain by R. Douglas Fields was really good. It tells the story of glia which make up 85% of the brain

At that price point you should check out Mila which is an air purifier that adjusts based on air quality. I own three - highly recommended!

How I overcame my fear of heights: indoor bouldering.

You can pace yourself with respect to the height you’re comfortable experiencing. It forces you to learn to fall safely. Most importantly, it progressively associates a positive outcome (route completion) with height.

I don’t think it was a hack, rather it was a real test. The dev mentions it in this tweet https://twitter.com/levelsio/status/1377687358095654914?s=20

Does anybody use this for non-academic purposes? I've been looking for something similar to use as a personal knowledge base, but zotero may be a bit much for that use case.

Their solution for offline work is to view the page when you’re online so it’s cached, then any changes you make while offline will be synced once back online.

At the beginning of the day, I pull tasks from Notion (https://www.notion.so/). I use a dot grid notebook (this one is good and cheap http://a.co/fQUVPpF) for general notes and design. At the end of the day I review and put the important stuff back into Notion.

I also use Notion and find it great so far! What do you mean by "they (inexplicably) decided to remove limits on mobile users"?

I think the sole developer is https://abnerlee.github.io.

Never Split the Difference by Christopher Voss

This looks great, thanks for bringing it to my attention!

What about JavaFX instead of Swing?

Depends on how much time I plan to spend and the size of the project:

vim - quick edits

Visual Studio Code - medium-sized projects, Python or JavaScript

IntelliJ IDEA/PyCharm - Java, or other large or complex projects

I only subscribe to print magazines when it's literature (The Paris Review). News/science/technology is easier to filter and read through online, in my opinion.

It's interesting just how frequently go is mentioned. Also, the JVM isn't as popular as I was expecting.

It resolves for me

Edit: looks like it disappeared for 70 seconds, but it's definitely back online at the moment

Do you have any advice on how to build the meditation habit? I tried reading and following Search Inside Yourself, but it didn't stick.

Thanks for the advice! I was initially concerned that negotiating for a 20-25% increase would make me unreasonable for my currently median-level skills. It seems that if 10% is a fair, but low-end, increase, then I can continue to target ~ 20%, so long as I practice negotiating.

That's fair. I expanded on the details further in another comment, which I'll copy below.

> My question stems from the fact that I make about median market rate for my experience and location. I'm having trouble making a plan for how my salary should increase as my experience and career evolve. If I'm currently making median market rate, I'm unsure if it's reasonable to expect a jump into the 75th percentile for my next position during the negotiation process.

Median market rate in my location (Pittsburgh) for my skills is around $75k. The 90th percentile for someone of equal skill is about $100k. To clarify my question, using the details from your comment, what can I reasonably expect for the growth rate between jobs as I approach the 90th percentile of pay?

This is great advice, thanks!
