In my case 8000 steps (around 5.5 km) is something I am able to pull every day. Having a dog makes it more fun.

I've tried also 10000 steps for a while but it was non-practical, just couldn't fit that extra mile.

During the 6-week streak of 8000+ step days, it felt as if a switch 'flipped' and I went from a plateau of 90kg to 85kg (what I saw as a target) and surprisingly am able to maintain it at that level for a few years now, without almost any changes in dietary or activity habits, even throughout the 2020 lockdown.

I'm a typical developer/couch potato, I do not avoid occasional junk food, beer, extra slice of cake etc. I try not to eat late, except for nuts and seeds. I wholeheartedly recommend Turkish? (white, large sort) unsalted sunflower seeds, which have nutritious benefits according to Dr.Google, plus it definitely helps the next morning.

There are Arwa Damon and Clarissa Ward. Then another female anchor, who people-smuggled herself through Africa with a hidden camera. They are all serious badasses, I don't even watch movies that tense.

There will always be another storm season for Chris Cuomo and AC. :-)

Aside for stupid memes, every now and then there is a story that temporarily cures my impostor syndrome / helps my everyday struggle seem like a fun day at the beach compared to crap some (fellow 3rd world) developers have to go through to make a living.

Purely empirical... just figuring out what I did last day/evening, and then noticed how sleep is affected in certain patterns.

Mi Band 3. It appears its sleep quality measurement through gyroscope/accelerator is accurate enough.

I've bought recently one of those cheap wrist bands.

One of the most important features for me was ability to measure sleep quality in terms of "daily hours of deep sleep," whatever that scientifically means.

Over the course of several months, I've been able to identify things which affect my sleep quality:

* eating late: bad

* drinking late: one beer... not really that bad

* answering work emails until midnight: REALLY BAD (even while drinking soothing chamomile tea during soft rain) etc.

I'm trying as reduce as many "bad" things as possible as I can feel a huge difference between 30 mins and 3+ hrs of deep sleep, as measured by the device.

I feel much better during the day, can work more productively and, most importantly, my "fuse" seems to be much longer.

Probably best $30 ever spent.

(still missing weekend code binges of early 20s, though :/ )

Applause from Slovenia to Buffers' Croatian developer! I'm sad to see actual reduction with this new 3.0 salary scheme. One would also need to factor in another 10-12% loss this year, which is depreciation of USD vs. EUR (HRK)

Unity's multi-platform track record is quite solid at this point in time.

I wouldn't bet on exotic Java attempts of "write once run everywhere" though.

"people who just have a lot of money and want to live in the country"

What exactly is big problem with this?

Not speaking about becoming tax-resident of Monaco or similar, but your example or an EU country where you can open LLC and set up your own business and sort out residency paperwork in couple of years, for about that sum (5-figure USD/EUR) at the end benefits to the country budget and society.

Speaking from personal experience, and let me tell you we make sure we perform 100% of what government expects from us and pay everything that's due.

Also, in case of IT and startups, I feel it creates "cleaner" work environment and more positive and prospective work force than some other businesses (real-estate, natural resources, etc.)
