I love that they also provide, in the same page, the option to update your own configuration. Easy pre-emptive blocking/boosting :)

Similarly, Accidents in North American Mountaineering[1] covers failures and their factors and is good reading. [1] https://publications.americanalpineclub.org/about_the_accide... …

What's depressing is that Type 2 diabetes also has a functional cure, but nobody is promoting it (or is it that nobody is willing to commit to it?). Type 2 diabetes is entirely diet controlled (a…

I have a limited amount of time available to get my workout done. Optimizing how plates are added/removed as you move through your warmup sets to your working sets is important if you want to min…

It’s a uniform in the sense that you wear the same clothes everyday, but not a literal, formal uniform like police or other prescribed outfit. E.g. you decide that you will wear jeans and black t-thir…

Wear a uniform. It’s ok to have a few uniforms depending on weather/season, but the goal is to not have to think when getting dressed. Get up, shower, put clothes on. Your uniform should be comfo…

Also, the non-alcoholic beers from Athletic Brewing are great and low-calorie. Their "Athletic Lite" is only 20cal, or their gluten-free is 45cal. The IPA is 65cal, IIRC.

There's a Dexa scan truck in my area that does them for $60, with discounts for multiple scans (e.g. quarterly). https://www.bodyspec.com/pricing …

Yes, black, unless you can keep the cream+sugar <50cal or are not pursuing strict fasting. Tea is good too, but same caveats about milk+sugar.

They are probably referring to DEXA scans: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual-energy_X-ray_absorptiomet... …

I focused on dinner only, and would start eating around 4pm and stop at 8pm - 2hrs before bedtime (technically that's 20/4 fasting and not OMAD). I have coffee in the morning, 1-2 cups, then…

Same here - it's much easier for me to not eat than to eat less. Though after almost 6mo of OMAD I better recognize when I feel full (and my stomach is has shrunk?) so I can actually eat less now…

Interviewing is a skill that needs to be worked on. Unfortunately, your "portfolio" is not portable between companies and so these tedious interviews are necessary. Similarly for other techn…

Sometimes teams are looking for specific knowledge or experience, then it really does matter. Other times, they are looking for a good developer who can pick up the necessary knowledge, and then it&#x…

Chelsea Troy has a great article describing this exact problem with meetings, and it applies to both remote & in-person meetings: https://chelseatroy.com/2018/03/29/…

It's because the traditional teaching focus is OOP and not data-driven design.

TBH, once the feature/task/project is done...you're working on something else and all those thoughts and TODOs quickly become stale. CTRL-A + DEL is your friend, post-work. The biggest …

This is one of those "if you don't understand all the words in the article then you should not be attempting it" articles. But it's still fun to read :)

I was building on oncall scheduling tool for work, and I needed to apply schedule overrides to the default oncall rotation. But I also wanted to support multiple, overlapping overrides, and always pic…

If you're not a presenter or decision maker, then decline the meeting and say "If there's something I need to do as a result of this meeting please let me know". If you're sti…

I don't want user choice, I want a computing appliance that Just Works - I don't want to spend all my time being a sysadmin. I've found OSX to be the best in that regard, there's a…

It's called the Paradox of tolerance[0]. Also, not all opinions are equal. There's plenty of garbage opinions (either wrong, offensive, or evil) that don't deserve attention. There'…

Orangutans and apes use large leaves and other materials as protective "clothing", e.g. to keep themselves dry in rain. But they don't make clothing, they repurpose found objects.

They aren't driving a truck, the truck is driving itself and is guided by a high-resolution GPS-like service. Providing a high-resolution GPS-like service at affordable scale is not simple.

No surprise, because NumPy is implemented with Fortran which is designed to be efficient and fast at mathematical operations. Rust is not. And Python is not either, which is why it uses Fortran under …

Those are sequence diagrams, which are not part of C4. And honestly, they are not great sequence diagrams - too much emphasis on the things makes it hard to see the relationships/steps between th…
