I think this comment generalizes too much. I do not think Europeans are all the same on this (and probably Asians too). As an example I have the impression that what you wrote is true for Dutch people (I don't know if it's true bu

I liked this phrase "revenge bedtime procrastination". In my case there is often this parameter that I do not want the day to end, I feel I did not accomplish enough during the day or that I did not have enough "me" time

My argument with my wife was not about the duration of sleep (nor has this anything to do with the schedule) but at what time a kid should go to bed. The reasoning behind this is that if a child goes to bed later it would be bad for brain d

This! My wife used to tell me that kids should be asleep by 2100 because some study showed it is better for them. But what does 2100 mean? It is totally arbitrary. I could accept a study that would reference sunrise/sunset but a specif

I've tried going later to bed to use these as more productive hours for my sideprojects (heck I am still going too late to bed). Although I say that I have more energy in the night the thing is that after a full day it is not easy to c

I am from Greece. I cannot remember if our classes started at 0800 or 0900. But I remember that exams did start at 0800.

It's funny that you say you are not an early bird yet for me going to bed at 2300 - 0000 and getting up at 0700 or 0800 is still early. I consider myself a night owl and if I ever get to bed before midnight I consider this early. I sti

We use mercurial at work. I actually like it very much (of course it might be because we follow a certain workflow). When I try to use git for personal projects (because everyone uses it and I'd like to learn it) and I really am strugg

For some reason this post brought to my mind the website of Fravia [1]. It is defunct now (he died 10+ years ago) but it is archived and various mirrors exist (have a look at the wikipedia page [2]). I never really got to explore the websit

This prayer or rather the use of epiousios in this prayer and its appearance only in this prayer and how it should be translated is exactly the topic of this discussion.

But this isn't ancient Greek. Yes I know about the Erasmus pronunciation and that it does not conform to how we talk nowadays. And I know most Greeks haven't ever heard about his theory. And I say theory because not everyone agree

The wikipedia article mentions your 1st point (that it was used elsewhere) but then continues to say that when the original text was reexamined it was found that it was a different word. >However, after the papyrus containing the shoppin

As a Greek myself I never really thought much about this word. Yes, it is not common but I thought I understood this. After reading the linked article I am not so sure anymore and I am not really sure how I would translate it. I cannot tran

I email myself sometimes. But most of these emails get lost in the clutter. What would you expect this product (or the email provider) to do for such cases?

Edit: I think I misunderstood your comment. I thought you meant Greece and Cyprus prefer to keep summer time for ever. Whereas you probably meant that Greece and Cyprus wanted to keep changing the clocks. Anyway I leave my initial comment b

I took it as it will be longer than 8 hours. If you include the previous sentence in you excerpt it becomes: "It's playable now, through about 8 hours of content. It's going to be a lot longer than that before I'm finish

Hi, this is an interesting project. It seems to be targeted for outdoor measurements. Do you know if this also suitable for indoor measurements (meaning if you want something for indoor air quality, would you measure the same things?) I rec

Yeah, as I said before in another comment I would be surprised "if the people that designed the Fitbit's period tracking feature did not include or at least consulted women". I take your comment (and the tweet I linked) as be

What is interesting, is this reply to the tweet mentioned in the article ( https://twitter.com/JeremiahLee/status/1025424090184728576 ) where this former(?) fitbit employee says that actually there were women involv

I would not be surprised if other activities were missing also. Why do we have to assume that everything missing is gender specific? On the other hand it would be a big surprise for me if the people that designed the Fitbit's period tr

That's the point. An anti-portfolio is the companies they rejected but went on to be successful.

I dislike changing the time twice a year too, but would prefer to stay on summer timer throughout the year instead of winter time. In autumn when the day becomes smaller, there remains almost no light(day) time after a typical 9-5. Shifting

You are probably right. I must admit that I have actually never outsourced anything. But it seems to me this is the way to go. Maybe the problem of finding the right people to outsource to, is actually a business idea? Not like the existing
