What are you 70? It the same here and I would guess in most of the “global Protestant north”

That some proper deep broscience I haven’t seen in years, “oxidative stress” nice!

You should look up french mcdonalds.

If all you have is spring boot, everything looks like a spring boot problem.

I've been on ... 4-5 "after works" (as we call it here), since the pandemic. But even then we usually get going around 16.00 and the night is over before 20.00.

But if the company is planning something after work hours? I consider that to be a "team-building" activity, a part of my 8 hour work day.

The author also mentions that spellchecks ruined his concentration. I thought I had problems concentrating but this is on a different level.

Tourists / foreigners buying houses i guess, although i predict that in the coming 10-20 years we'll be seeing mediterraneans escaping the summer heat in the north.

I might come off as really cynical, but i agree with your statement completely. The best place i worked didn't feel like work, smart motivated people with little managerial oversight and a shared vision, awesome times.

What I'm trying to say is: look out for yourself out there because no one else will, don't let yourself be exploited

This guy seems smart and ambitious but has a very romantic/naive mindset. A job is an exchange of services, never get it confused with your own mission or "dream".

I disagree on the usage of agency here and the entire post really. Being an introvert SWE (70% of HN?) a lot solo consultants would be placed between quiet asshole and nice, but not often extroverted. Are these people low in agency? Is the traditional "nerd" low on agency? hardly.

agency per the article: "self-protection, self-assertion, separation, and isolation"

We're barely 3 months into this and your calling it a failure? could it be done better: yes, it is failure? no. "no arguing", "can not argue" Yes, you very much can, and we'll see in a few years what the "correct" choice was.

I've done a few "aptitude" tests for interviews, and so has people in my closest circle. It seems common across business sectors and taken as a major indicator of employee "success" https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4557354/

gold vs btc, at least BTC energy expenditure can be patched / limited to only renewables.

This, the author is a phd surely he should see his own bias here?

"I found it annoying to use negative numbers for temperatures that aren't really that cold, and then have 35℃ be grossly hot." living in Sweden i've always used 0 as the "feeling" middle point, temperatures usually ranging between -20 / +30 C, feels very natural.

That saying the task seems quite fun, would be nice to replicate it coming from a celcius background.

Mixing tryptophan heavy foods (chicken / salmon / cheese / nuts) with carbs is gonna make you crash / sleepy.

Same thing with salted + carb heavy food, as the body starts putting on water (dry mouth, drinking loads, puffy + tired)

Would be interesting to see if there is any relationship between physical exercise, fasting, meditation or diet in general.
