"But satisfaction brought him back."

In modern Vim (with netrw), you can type `gx` when the cursor is over a URL to open it in your browser.

Great read.

One of my favourite quotes is "motivation follows action". Often times I've found myself loath to do something, but once I start "revving up" (at work, it might be starting with something simple like a small refactor; at home, it could be committing to simply washing one plate of the stack I have remaining) I find I gain the motivation to keep going.

Thank you! I'll keep an eye out for those.

I tried to take the test—but the fifth time I pressed "next" it gave me a 404.

The key to faking a real smile is in wrinkling the eyes.

> They need to make money somehow.

Yes, because their profit margins are that low (!).

Considering Apple charges you £500 for a phone and £1000 for a laptop, I'd expect a bit more in terms of default cloud storage. 5 gig (and the 16 gig the cheapest iPhone 5S model offers) are incredibly stingy.

Alcohol, plastics (which leech from containers into the liquid they contain), pesticides (on fruits, vegetables)—there are a host of environmental factors that reduce our testosterone levels.

And as for anxiety, I think our modern urban lifestyle far increases our anxiety levels compared to our ancestors.

The human body was not meant for the world we live in!

I'd think the opposite. Since she is used to having to work hard from a young age, she will be more successful in life.

Others who coasted through—whom were used to everything being relatively easier—will not have the experience she has already accrued when faced with a harder challenge.

Funny, it reminded me more of the episode "Be Right Back".

If only the Nokia of old were still around.

Agreed, although it's interesting to see the disassemblies.

Python is a language about readability and conciseness first, performance second.

I would have liked to have seen `map` used in the list comp examples, as well as seeing the tests run on Python 3.

Adding my own two cents here—

- You can no longer put your phone into silent from the volume slider

- You can no longer put your phone into vibrate or silent from the power menu

- They removed the shortcut to "app info" from the most recents menu, and from the notifications menu (I used this to force-stop apps)

- Apps randomly restart themselves; I assume this is a memory leak issue (this is on a Nexus 5, I'd never experienced this before)

- Reduced battery life (night-time battery life is abysmal—my first night with Lollipop I missed my alarm because my phone died)

I was so frustrated by Lollipop I reset my phone to Kit Kat. They removed a bunch of shortcuts, and I really don't understand why.

To to keep your fingers on the home row, in order to have better access to all the other keys in your keyboard.

Having your fingers on the arrow keys mean your hand has to travel that much further to type the other keys—making you slower.

I've always heard a lot of this is due to improper running technique, since shoe technology shifted to a heavily-padded heel. This in turn made people more likely to land on the heel, which sends the shock right up the leg, into the knee.

Barefoot running, and less padded shoes, promote landing on the balls of your feet (as otherwise it's incredibly painful!). Landing on the balls of your feet allows your foot to reduce the force that gets shot up the leg.
