I often ask myself if i can go to a small town and live an anonymous life. Its my scoring system for personal pride/ego. Does such an anonymous life stop me from inventing things or think about stuff deeply. I don't think so,..

I thought on similar lines. Because I use it often for ibs i noticeably feel much better and I suspect the bp and heart rate reduction could be due to reduced gi effect on body

Absolutely. It's far easier if the thought originated in your own mind.

The default long responses of LLMs don't make it easy.

yep, if there was hint of cruelty in the matrix where machines harvested humans for energy, this may not be so different.

Going to try this. I have a breathing clock gif as default page on my browser. I use it while I am passive in meetings. Resonant breathing has been great for me for IBS

This saddens me. I recently started psychology of human misjudgement.

Someone in thread asked what’s big deal about him. what did he achieve

My answer would be I never tried to look into his achievements or did care about them. The man was genuinely curious, humble and a geek. He constantly published his ways of thinking. I enjoyed how he thought about things, how i could relate self correct based on it.

I generally write posts for founding engineers or early stage teams.

The book also mentions that people who had built a habit switched back to old habits under stress. It looks like author had this situation. Multiple parallel things led to an overwhelming routine and he fell off the waggon. Meditation helped hi. apply breaks and re think on every day decisions

In my experience in order to build or break a habit you must be able to tie the action to its immediate results. It can be placebo but in your mind that association must settle in. Meditation for a lot of people creates a state of calm afterwords. Mainly if you breathe at a lower that 6 breaths per minute. The calmness likely leads to better decisions and helps that way. It looked like the author has been overwhelmed with stresses of life. Meditation helped to apply breaks and steer the wheel.

the question is 'what is serious?' generally one can go about every piece of code with a mindset that if it fails the sky will fall, or on the other extreme 'let it fail' philosophy.

I like to take a mix of slow and fast approach. While some cases demand test-driven development, in other scenarios the test cases can follow the user demand. I like to build test coverage slowly depending on most used parts of the code. So they coverage catches up slowly but at the same time i am not spending time on test cases for things that don't get used at all.

This means, I would prefer releasing features in small batches and as the features start being used, I start improving the coverage. While this may not work for all the teams or environments, it is one approach to build early stage products. which I mostly do.

Agree, you wont get exact numbers but ignoring the absolute values one can see differences over time to see whats working. When it comes to these numbers i have learned that you dont focus on absolute values but watch them change

My recommendation will be to track HRV (1) and do the high intensity only when you are on or above your baseline. This is to avoid unexpected side effects of HIIT. If you can't get a hrv tracker then best to keep track of your heart rate recovery. It is common to see heart rate stay high after the exercise, it should return to normal in a few hours (3-4 hours). if not then you are over doing it.

1 - Apps like Elite HRV, hrv4training or Devices like Garmin (watch), CoreSense (Elite HRV), Scosche Rhythm+, polar or garmin chest wrap.

When I first looked at dGraph, I was unimpressed. The interfacing, documentation looked like it was meant for their internal team.

A few well-known Open source projects lack user-centric product thinking. I felt dgraph had this issue.
