I needed this info because I was worried about exercising. I have anxiety-like physiological issues, tachycardia, high blood pressure and exercise intolerance without clear causes. I was even admitted to Stanford's cardiac unit for a w

People think I'm crazy not to go prostitute myself for a job at Google; I think they're crazy for volunteering to be bridled and ridden around for 20 hours a day for years without having equity or ownership in the profits.

140 hours and no ownership equals slavery in my book. It's sad that more engineers don't insist on working at meaningful-ownership co-ops and ESOP's. Working for somebody else's C-corp where they're all about the mo

Or all 1's, L's and I's with a license plate frame that "accidentally" covers up the differentiating marks. >:) PS: Reminds me, I should get one of those LPR T-shirts with license plates all over it.

There seems to be a common mania state of irrational exuberance with unrealistic hopefulness. It has many examples: people in love, positive/devout Christians, big-idea startup startup and even residents of Raqqa under the Islamic Stat

The HP 48 calculator seems fairly homoiconic. Binary compiled programs and symbolic ones alike can be pushed on the stack, stored, dropped.

A dilettante complains about something they "learned," as opposed to committing to mastering it with real use and then forming an informed opinion. PEBKAC seems the more likely explanation.
