After spending eight years in the military (where everyone's salary is public, even Generals) I was kind of shocked when I got out and everyone was so secretive about how much money they made. When I got my first office job a few friends had to coach me to not talk about salary. To me it seems the only one really benefiting from not talking about money is the company paying you.

It was the training for freediving, although I grew up next to the ocean and have been swimming the majority of my life so I'm sure that plays a part.

What the article doesn't mention is most people can increase their lung capacity using several techniques like over-unders (pool drills where you swim across a pool alternating between underwater and regular),Oxygen tables, breathing patterns (think meditation), and working out while holding your breath (be careful with that one, I'd suggest just walking holding your breath first).

I was an avid free diver before I joined the Army (to be a diver no less) and during a medical examination they did x-rays of my chest. The doctor came back surprised and told me my lungs were 25% larger than normal. Even now I take one breath for every two my wife takes. I always thought it was kind of cool.

For me free diving is a spiritual thing. Nowhere else am I more calm, more sure of myself, I can be a visitor to an entirely different world.

It's legal here in WA and we haven't had a problem with it being "unsafe". These articles kind of remind me about articles on coffee/wine. One day they're bad for the heart, the next day they boost heart health. I think these types of articles are why we have those anti-vaccine people.

ah! Awesome, thanks

Honest question, would studying immediate mode rendering systems improve my understanding of React's system of doing things? If so, do you have a resource I could use?

I also wondered that when I went through, later I got clarification that it was for those reasons, and to remove the individual, so that we can follow commands faster and with less hesitation.

You must have forgotten that Niels Bohr was an olympic athlete as well as a nobel prize winner in physics.

I wish I had that kind of class growing up. Even a basic life skills class would be helpful. It would be much better than all those "teachers aide" classes I took in high school.

I love that book. I read it all the time, especially on those weeks when I feel burnt out. It pairs well with one of his other books called The Warrior Ethos.

This. While I have won (and placed) in hackathons, I never took them as this super competitive challenge, I didn't expect to win. The teams I've been on always went home and got some rest. To me hackathons are a fun way to explore new things and meet interesting people.
