That's really cool! Thanks for link. I guess I just never assumed that would be open sourced!

I feel like the article itself does a pretty good job of introducing a lot of the core topics with a short paragraph for each

What part in there gave you that impression? I had a read through and it seemed okay. Maybe I missed something.

If anything I feel like becoming more emotionally mature opened up my dating pool, and made me a better partner. Ultimately you are better off being with someone who you can talk about your emotions with.

I've been in relationships where I couldn't talk about my problems, and being unable to talk about them didn't make those problems disappear.

I feel like Discords version works a lot better than Slacks for public communities. Someone has the option to pay as an individual rather than requiring a workspace owner to pay for everyone, which is impractical when there are 1000+ members.

Great post. I feel like I've gone through a similar cycle, but I've found that journaling rather then meditation was what I was drawn to. Sitting down and writing about what I'm worried about and what my priorities are has proven to be a great balancing force in my life. Though I'm still not doing it too regularly, I notice quite a lot of mental clarity after a short session.

It's not a short summary, but if you are into podcasts then Behind the Bastards have a two parter on him.

Amazing. I had a few questions about pathfinding inspiration since I had just watched NoClips video on Rollarcoaster Tycoon, but your linked video is already so in depth!

In this context I believe he is referring to dependency injection.

It sounds interesting, but I hate that they resort to clickbait style titles. If the information is that important then at least it deserves a more descriptive title. At least the HN title has been updated.

"The head of Communications said that we were edgy, and that if we as Riot started chipping away those edges, we would become shapeless and bland, like EA or Blizzard. I responded that if we told everyone starting today there could be no more rape jokes in presentations and talks, it would still be a multi-year effort for us to no longer be edgy.”

By the sounds of it Riot is in a very deep culture hole. I hope they can turn it around in the years to come.

There are massive warnings on the packs in New Zealand. I believe they can't use any branding at all on the packs in Australia.

Do you have a bunch of this particular model, or do you have a range of these types of watches. I'd love to hear what other watches like this there are!

Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker, is an incredible look into the benefits of getting good amounts of sleep. Everything he talks about is also backed up by his own research.

It has convinced me to improve my sleeping habits, and I've been feeling much better because of it.

Highly recommended!

That's quite interesting! Does that not detract from how well his work reads, though? I suppose not by much given how popular he is.

So true, at the end of the day people are working like this because it's the way they feel the most passionate about. You can't really blame them considering how disinterested people can get working on that last 10% of even their own projects.

I believe this is what Microsoft is trying to do with .NET Core. It's been successful so far, though they aren't at feature parity yet.

You may want to change the wording on the "Why Ewolo?" page. At a glance, it looks like you are saying it is: platform specific, not user friendly, and not flexible.

That may just be for users like me who see the title, then go straight to reading the bullet points.

Great stuff, I love seeing what people are building with .NET Core. I feel like I'm getting much closer to the point that I could confidently commit to building a greenfields project for a client in it.

Are there any parts of the project you could highlight as being much harder or easier as a result of building it in .NET Core over, say, .NET 4.6?
