@… I don’t think it would have worked for me in my teens or early 20s. I actually had some decent success for a while switching to a 28-hour cycle, which is exactly 6 cycles in 1 normal week.
I think my natural cycle was too long, as a kid. I struggled with sleep and waking up since I was pretty small. As I’ve gotten older, I think my natural cycle has…

Follow the user meaningfully and product growth will follow: A mixed methods case study tying UX Point of View & Growth leading to measurable impact
Have you wondered how cross-functional teams balance between maximizing value that users derive and business growth leading to win-win situations? This case study shows how User Experience Research (UXR) and Data Science teams used mixed methods research to strategically influence Product Led Growth (PLG) for a Password Manager used by million+ users, thus allowing our users, internal teams, and business to win. The audience will take away practical lessons/techniques related to leveraging mixe…

The funniest thing about this is that those hungarian pieces of shit think they have the power to ban ANYONE from entering "the entire Schengen Area".
Why is Hungary still in the EU? Why the hell haven't we kicked their fascist asses out of the bloc yet?

Attached: 1 image Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski responds to Hungary banning Magyar: “Commander Magyar: if you need some R&R and Hungary won't let you in, please be our guest in Poland.” That’s the difference between standing with freedom—or hiding behind pipelines.

Period relations for Rankin-Selberg convolutions for $\mathrm{GL}(n)\times\mathrm{GL}(n)$
In this paper, we study the special values of Rankin-Selberg L-functions as a continuation of [LLS24]. Utilizing the modular symbol approach, we prove the rationality and period relations for critical values of Rankin-Selberg L-functions for $\mathrm{GL}(n)\times\mathrm{GL}(n)$ over any number field that contains a CM field.

Finished the short story, “The Answer is No” by Fredrik Backman, the story of a man without any attachments who just wants to be left alone to eat pad thai & play video games. The neighbors in his apartment keep intruding upon his privacy in ludicrously farcical ways.
Great writer & some great moments, but the whole thing felt like a collection of tropes. Had there been a laugh track on the audiobook, I’d not have been surprised.

@… I appreciate that you’re passing on the message. 😄
I read a book called “Why We Sleep” a while back, which went into the science, and I found it fascinating, but still… I’ve always got one more thing I want to do first.
I like your phrasing of “a present” because it makes me think of it as self-care, which is something I’m bad at, but would li…

There was:
0. a prologue
1. a flashback
2. a thing I thought was the main game but was actually another flashback
3. a 3D sokoban minigame
4. now I’m watching characters talk about the previous games and there’s more flashbacks
I’m playing Lost, the game. What is this.

@… Agreed. I think it’s also a symptom of wealth inequality. Who cares what the average person wants or needs? They can’t pay anyway. Money comes from billionaires now.

@… When I finally have the will and the time to do such a thing, I will be calling on you to co-host. ^_^

I finally wrote up my experience running a few TDD workshops internally at work, and the things I learned.

I found it quite different to running workshops for the public; I needed to start from the very beginning, and co…
