I started a touch before this in London. I recall before Blaze and git5 - every morning we had a ritual of checking out google3 and making sure we could get some sort of build working for the day so that we could then attempt to write some

There is also a conflation of a slowing metabolism and low energy availability, which can reduce the amount of energy expended during the day (because you feel tired and do less). It can be quite subtle but when I've done some extended

Sorry to say I'm in almost an identical seat. I broke my thumb and have a gnarly but closed tuft fracture - after 4 weeks I saw a specialist who said there wasn't much healing or bone growth yet, and so decided to do a more aggres

I'm generally interested if people here think that to a 14-15 year old, do those companies sound tremendously cool and does the premise of their value stir exciting thoughts and motivations? My slightly younger kids don't really w

When I was 15 I had to move high school after the death of my mother. I started to socialise at school and joined the investment club. It was a tough time for me and I desperately wanted to make friends and fit in. I wasn’t really into inve

That's a cool recommendation. Thank you! Like many others on here have noted, there are some really nice Seikos and Casios that look great, keep fantastic time and won't break the bank. I am not a completely reformed addict though

I also found that being able to always reach to my wrist for the time has become a habit and when I tried an Apple watch that was scuppered by the off wrist charging so like you say, I treat that right wrist as the "data collection&quo

I've been wearing a Casio F-91W for a number of years now and it really is a joy. It's always there, and it always works. I've gone down the rabbit hole with expensive time pieces but they become a burden / obligation ra

There's a screenshot of the Google Buzz "Bullhorn", as we used to call it, which was fun to reminisce about, I'd forgotten about it. This was a small widget right on www.google.com, you clicked it and could post a tweet

Every evening I look at my calendar and I set an alarm clock entry on my phone for 1 minute before each meeting. I have found this to be the most robust method for never being late to a meeting.

This is an open sourcing of Google's internal build tool. I know it as Blaze, which Bazel is an anagram of. Many files in the source have references to Blaze.

I think it's naive to assume that Google's investments are always a couple of steps away from making money via ad impressions. Listening to Larry Page speak never leaves me with that impression, it usually leaves me inspired and o

I tried it out, you can now make an Eclipse like experience, albeit requiring many key presses to invoke compiliation and execution of code. It's not as slick as Eclipse, but its possible. As for the merit of the technique - try it out. I'v
