It would be nice if those of us who handle WFH under a pandemic very well have some leverage after it's resolved to continue a WFH schedule. I really don't care for the long commute to an open office. The combination reduces both my quality of life and my quality of work.

It seems like being human is a messy affair, and one particularly hard to sort out.

It's not just culturally routine, but culturally shamed for not adhering. Additionally, it does not take much time at all. Meditation requires more investment in time by a factor of 10 at least, and if you shame someone for not meditating, they'll probably laugh at you or give you a bewildered look.

Only a small amount of the population engages in any behavior that requires active lifestyle modification. Exercise and diet are hardly adhered to despite being relatively simple. Meditation has the added difficulty of being solitary, and, for most, boring and difficult (compared to the instant-feedback world surrounding them).

I'll chime in as someone who has used Django and its ORM for about 5 years and I have to say it's a pleasure to use.

Protein in terms of protein / calorie ratio of food tilts protein sources to meat and dairy. Easy way to compare foods and meals is to compare grams protein per 100cal of a given item. Things like meat, cottage cheese, yogurt, etc., top the charts.

So if you want to maximize for protein consumption without putting on fat mass, you tend to look for meat, dairy, and things derived from them (whey protein isolate).

Yes, but they had to teach me how to read later in life. This is a two-for-one strategy, because the reading skill transfers much more easily.

You can't rely on it as the only means of learning, but it makes for the foundation. Conversation is hard to begin with, but conversation when you don't understand what is spoken quickly enough to begin to form a response is impossible.

I learned how to turn a stream of nonsense (from my perspective) into words by listening to hundreds of hours of Spanish TV that I didn't understand. Spanish audio + Spanish subtitles (to figure out how to parse sound, and to map sound to writing), and then Spanish audio only (prevent reliance on reading). Surprisingly effective. Incomprehensible input appears to be quite valuable.

At some point I'll try applying my methods to learning a different language to see if I can generalize (for me and my ability to pick up a language, at least).

Why trust either of them?

However, sometimes you want to maximize protein per a meal's calories. Some things may seem 'cheap' but to maximize protein with those items you will blow out the calories chart. For example, it's better to rely on cottage cheese for protein instead of flour, despite the monetary cost looking favorable for the latter -- because the former will have your protein needs met with a smaller number of total calories, preventing you from gaining fat mass, assuming the rest of your diet follows similar reasoning.

Anyone successfully apply it to programming interviews? As lame as it sounds, I'm wondering if it could be useful there.

Yeah, understood. Personally, I commend him. I sure as hell wouldn't put my name to controversial topics (even if said discussion itself should, ideally, NOT be controversial). In today's social climate that takes some serious courage, and it's not really worth it unless you can be employed regardless of opinion. I'm guessing in his sphere that's not permitted, which is unsettling.
