zascrashon Programming in D: Tutorial and Reference

D deserves more recognition. It's a cool language under the radar for too long. I wish a major corporation backed it. I had a great time learning D. Also I admire Walter Bright If I could achieve even a fraction of his productivity, that would be awesome.

zascrashon Poll: Do you get along with your parents?

Yes, both. Sometimes I think I don’t deserve them because they do so much for me (and my brother)

zascrashon App Store doesn't accept “too simple” apps

As someone learning iOS development this is really off-putting. Hopefully things works out to op.

zascrashon Carbon’s most exciting feature is its calling convention

It's about Carbon Language (from google) not the framework. https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang

zascrashon Programming languages endorsed for server-side use at Meta

Are your use of Dart related to flutter?

zascrashon Why Lisp? (2015)

sorry to ask, but what about that cryptographic project? why didn't you pick CL?

zascrashon How to be more productive without forcing yourself

I believe that the point is that those things are relative. It would be more like, if you stop eating everthing you love now (sweets, fast foods etc) you might learn to love the alternative (fruits and vegetables).

zascrashon One-third of tech workers admit to working only 3 to 4 hours a day

As many people pointed out it depends what "working" means. If this is focus mode/deep work, than it's quite a lot. If it means 3 to 4 hours of light work (e-mails, waiting on conferences, chatting with co-workers etc) and the rest is social media and things totally not related to the job then it's a different story.

I will check that. I appreciate everyone for their replies. Is there anything like that for iPhone?

zascrashon EmacsConf 2020 Talks

I would like to use emacs and org mode to organise my life. But I think without it being useful on mobile phone, for me is a no go. I will keep using Google calendar for now.

zascrashon Sleep duration is associated with brain structure and cognitive performance

I used to think that our body know better. But I realise it doesn't do what is better but rather what it is used to do.

I felt I had to eat sweets frequently, drink coca-coca everyday and 3 meals a day etc. My body felt terrible when I didn't. I stopped listed to what my body wanted and consciously stop those things. First week it was really painful. Second week I got used to. Third week I completely changed. Now I have to force myself do eat sweets, drink soda or having so many meals a day.

I still listen my body about drink water and not sure if I should really listen it when it comes to sleep.

zascrashon As an older guy I've finally figured out weight-loss

I have a simple system that works for ME. Basically I eat once a day. I have a full lunch and that's it for the day. I do not fell hungry,specially in the morning where for some reason I just can't eat.
