Stop consuming sugar and caffeine. Fruits are a great suppliment until your body adjusts. You cannot have an abundance of attention without the fuel to power it. - It was one of the hardest things for me to do.

Don't Make the decision until after you take a break.

Definitely interesting, but still to early to tell.

It's suggested that out digestive system is strongly linked to our intelligence. One could argue that it could either increase or reduce our capacity to cope. Possibly even change our species or provide use with a new system of organs that would make use depent on a centralized food source.

napperjabber | 9 years ago | on: Ask HN: Where do you go for learning about health and well-being?
Unfortunately, between today and 3 years ago, Google search is returning the assuming of a meat based diet. I could easily find correlations between food and nutrients evaluating how my body would function. Today, it's harder to find good information on the topic. Now it's just noise or my googling ability has failed me.
Grains and fermented food for breakfast. Snack throughout the day on high fat veggies/lean meats/nuts. Dark leafy greens and protein for dinner. Eat at least two servings of fruit a day. Above all, if you have a craving, eat it, but reduce the quantity.

Nice. Need to see more hardware posts here. Please though, improve the depth of the language.

Find something from your childhood that you wanted to do, but didn't because of what ever reason. For me, it was learning Japanese.

Cool, now we might have a better API/Dev-Env for things like AWS Lambda and such.

It's always fun being on a project and having the CTO say he's disappointed in you because you cannot 'back-sort a double linked list.'
Fun times trying to distract them from their own arrogance.

As an American living in Japan, life in Japan is a lot more enjoyable. From having lower healthcare costs to a more stable food budget.

Thanks for reminding me I'm on the internet.
napperjabber | 9 years ago | on: Growing Rift Between Valve and Oculus
At first I defended the Facebook buyout because it seemed like a logical move. I feel Oculus was pressured into the buyout because valve was about to kill them. Truth is, Carmarck joining the team made it all that much sweeter.
If you read through the lines of some of Palmer's communications, it's obvious that there is a rift between Oculus and Facebook that no one is talking about. Carmarck, being Carmarck keeps pushing even when the top tries to push you down. Reading the tweets, it's obvious that he remains focused on the technology, which is a good sign.
In the end, I think Oculus is facing a backlash because of the buyout, and their 'simular' to Origin approach rings bells of many gamers and how EA continues to alienate them.
Microsoft proved it could compete with the Xbox. Oculus just needs to change its game or get away from its overlord. Blizzard had some fallout with Diablo 3, it happens.
The real question for Oculus, now is, what is your next move?

Happens all the time to me. I have an interview and they probe for details on how to solve a problem. It is what it is. Two of the three companies I liked hired me the second time I interviewed for them. I'm a freelancer, so I move around a lot.

Interesting how the story became standardized in the tail. Sure, an issue here and there, but the last few lines about donating to a charity; it reduced the impact.

Hate to say it, but Australia isn't much better. New Zealand is nice, I hear.

Pretty sure this wont end well for Github. They seem to be making a lot of moves like this recently. It's only a matter of time until a mass migration begins IMO.
