The UI could use some work i was confused as well, the actual think you're supposed to click is the 'Place your guess' button at the top, but the styling doesnt really let you know its the main action of the page.
Of course its better to hear from actual historians/look into it yourself, but this is a super cool way to at least learn a little bit about history while also being a fun game.
If people dont want to spend time deep-diving history but are still interested I think this is an absolutely awesome way to start/learn. I would just suggest adding more ways to learn about the event itself with links to source material/wikipedia etc.
I'm not sure if this is exactly what you're talking about, but i'm going through a book called 'The Mind Illuminated' and the author has a section of the book called the 'Dark Night', which talks about how you can have a lot of issues if your meditation practice develops but your everyday life does not reflect it. He mentions a specific type of anxiety comes with this as well. My be worth looking into.
Thanks for your reply, I am going to check this book. We've been talking a lot about the advantage of meditation in this society, but it seems there are also some dark sides of it...
My brother and I built a mini webapp that takes data from the Strong app for workouts, and shows you a list of all your muscle groups and filters it with color based on how much fatigue each muscle has accrued over the week. It also gives you recommendations of how much weight you should lift for your next workout. It's a nice way to make sure each muscle group is getting exercised enough each week!
Not sure fraud is the right word, but the companies are expecting him to be working 40hrs a week and I'm guessing he is not doing that, which is at the very least dishonest. Perhaps he is actually working 80hrs a week in which case this is not fraud for sure.
But he mentions someone had 7 jobs and was working 20(??) hours a week which means he's basically scamming all those companies.
In my experience of highly paid tech jobs you're generally on salary and your work is managed by some clueless project manager with some notion of how many points you can accomplish in a week. If you find yourself in that situation, and you can do "40hrs" of work in 10 hours, getting a second or even third job of that nature seems like the quickest way to increase your earnings.
You will not convince me you can complete "40hrs" of work in "10 hours," doofus.
That's just 10 hours of more effective work. The other 30 hours you're lying to me and cheating me out of what I'm paying you.
Of course, you can get away with it, because you're clever, there's way too much money in tech jobs sometimes, and people are trusting - and you deliver! Even if the work product is only meh; it's better than what those other chumps were doing, right?!
Until you get caught; until someone in the recruiting community in your field/stack/industry catches wind of this post or that post; or you slip up and double book stakeholder meetings; or your background check shows multiple employers; or ....
I disagree that an employer is paying for 40 hours of my time: They're paying for output and results. I think rational employer would concede the same.
> Until you get caught
It's not as true today, but across 2020/2021 that couldn't possibly matter less. If this person was caught, then what? They fire them and give them 4-12 weeks severance? A year ago a good dev could have another job lined up before sundown.
Regardless of whether the managers are clueless or not, software companies operate on trust that the engineers' estimates of how long work will take, is based on the difficulty of the work with the natural assumption that you are devoting all your working hours to that work, and that there's not some hidden multiplier in your work estimates because you're splitting time with other jobs.
Unless you tell your team and your manager "I only work 1/x of my time at this job", it is deceit.
I used to use an Oura ring but the accuracy is actually not so great (Potentially going to get better with new algorithm coming out) and switched to a fitbit charge 5. App is pretty slick and really easy to see your sleep data, also quite a small wearable.
There's a youtuber who compares all wearables for accuracy with actual sleep measuring equipment and Fitbit charge 5 is (surprisngly) the most accurate. Here's a link to his graph of all devices charted on accuracy: https://youtu.be/6oNGpQZakxU?t=237
Anecdote (and obligatory YMMV): I purchased the Charge 4 when it first came out and after extensive usage, I tossed it in the trash. The final straw for me was when I was having a physical done and compared the HRM data of the watch to what the readings the nurse was getting with her device. The data reported by the Fitbit was wildly inaccurate compared to the readings that the nurse was seeing. I also compared my data to my wife's Apple Watch and noticed large disparities in GPS data when we would go on runs/walks together. In the end, I came to the conclusion that a) if basic heart rate/GPS data is inaccurate, what else is? and b) what's the point of collecting all this data anyway? At the end of the day, it wasn't providing me with anything that fundamentally improved my life and if anything led to more anxiety due to constantly tracking and obsessing over all of this data.
tl;dr - My Charge's data was questionable at times and completely inaccurate compared to a medical grade device. In the end, all the data tracking just gave me anxiety.
I think that HRM data from watches is indicative at best and is never going to be as accurate as a decent chest monitor, let alone a nurse with professional training!
For me, these devices are good to spot trends over time, (eg "how has my resting heartrate improved after 4 weeks of being more physically active?") rather than comparing my data to someone else's.
