The article pointed out a paper on an increase of 1.4% overweight horses. It does not seem to have a meaningful relationship with the steep increase of overweight population in human (~24%).

What about stress?

Elevated cortisol level induces over-eating; moreover, increases craving for high-sugar, high-fat foods.

The big change in human behavior in the last 2 decades is that now people consume more information that leads to depression, anxiety and stress.

Probably a minority here - but I could not stomach the horrible comments on LiveLeak, especially because it almost seemed like they were all written by a bunch of really young audience.

Celebrating my sixth year with Elixir! The adoption rates here is still quite low (Malaysia) but I'm glad to say that onboarding new Elixir developers has always been a breeze.

Notion is about the only service today out of many other major platforms (see: https://downdetector.com) that cared to email me about the downtime. I’ve been a happy Notion user since about a year ago and this is probably the only one time I have experienced major downtime as far as I can remember.

Those who made “mistakes” like re-implementing basic data structure or algorithm will learn much more than what compsci degree can teach them.

Had to use Zeit/Vercel a few months for a “serious” project that requires SSR, caching and multiple staging environments. As the project progresses I noticed an increasing pain from constantly fighting with outdated documentations and limited configurability. I hope that’s changed now though, because there were some parts of Zeit that we loved. For simpler static sites, it’s hard to beat Netlify.

Most people I know who uses GitHub daily are premium users. People who use GitHub for free are probably not going to be bothered by the dark mode.
