Micromanagement, depending on what it means, can be a valuable tool in fixing a broken system. e.g. you take over a team where everything's broken and shipping late. It can genuinely be very helpful for you to dive into the details of

The KBoges channel is generally very good. I'd take a lot of care in building up to daily training, though; you only get one body, and if you injure it you may never be the same. He does emphasise this in his videos, but in his shoes I

I don't have access to the full text either, but I'd be really surprised if it's five days of total fasting. I'd expect that it's low calorie days with some special restrictions (or even meals) they've set out.

5 fasting days doesn't mean 5 days of total fasting.

It depends on what you want to achieve, and who you are. Do a PhD if you love research, and have a good safety net e.g. middle class family who'd support you in an emergency or savings to cover several years' living costs. Have an

Is anyone here a DeLillo fan? Seems like a natural place for me to ask for recommendations. If I loved White Noise but didn't get much from Underworld, which DeLillo book would be best to read next?

I make sourdough breads. I highly recommend Mick Hartley's recipes and ebooks at https://thepartisanbaker.com/ His approach really appeals to me, and to other hacker-y types that I've shared it with. He's tes

AFAIK the US got computers earlier than most places, even other First World countries. Large disposable incomes and a large, relatively homogeneous market. My family were middle class (teachers) in the UK, and moderately early adopters; we

COL is high in London and cities around it, but way cheaper in other parts. FWIW I'd recommend other places over Nottingham, though. Birmingham is a vibrant "second city", with low prices and good connections to London. Sever

It's not cherry-picked, actually; the historical standard in the UK is three years. However, it's not common to do any qualifying exams or courses in a three year program. There's a new trend of so-called "Centres for Do

These Paul Hollywood recipes are a pretty good starting point. They don't mention the buttermilk trick, but it's easy enough: squeeze half a lemon into your milk. The nice thing with Hollywood's bloomer recipe is that lots of

I've been getting into baking bread lately, so it's very cool to see an article like this on HN. That said, if you're new to baking, I wouldn't recommend this as a starting point unless you strongly prefer sourdough to o

Do you do this for several companies at once? And how do they pay you, if not with equity to offset low co-founder salary? Really intrigued to know; I wasn't aware this was a model that worked.

I'm really sorry to hear you're struggling with loneliness. Out of interest, how are you stuck? (Obviously, feel free not to indulge me if you'd rather not discuss your situation with a well-wishing but uninformed stranger.)

Probably too small a demand. The general problem is property search with lots of options, and even that is a tricky niche... I worked at a company that tried to do this, and in the end we found it's too much work per niche. Maybe if NL
