What are you doing right now to work out in terms of how often you go, what you do at the gym, and so forth? More importantly, what are your goals? I'd love to help.
I actually do little or not dedicated working out, we have pedometers from work, and i hit 7k easily during the week, and 12k over the weekend. I am pretty sure i can run a sub 10 minute mile (but would have to run one to confirm).
Goals.... one thing id like to try is eating basicaly paleo and working out to see if it relieves allergies, and i guess of course id love to be able to see abs and have a good uooer body, however to reach that level (and i suppose workout/paleo), will likely require a deep time/cognition effort
Also ive been having more stiff necks/neck pain in the mornings and wondered if getting some sort of exercise would help, i grew up being pretty active, but since the kiddos i think there is a marked difference in level of activity.
It's taught sometimes that the simple method is never the "good" approach, and that the fancier and more elaborate you are, the better the solution will be. I'm not just talking about code, either.
When did "simple" become such a dirty word? Simple isn't synonymous with lazy.
Anecdotical (10+ years running experience). I've found that jogging at slow speeds (~6 MPH) has a similar effect creatively on me as walking does (2-4 MPH). Running at medium speeds (~8 MPH), I still notice an increase in creativity as long as I have enough energy in me, but it's a bit reduced than jogging. Running at high speeds (10+ MPH), things are so intense that my mind can only focus on breathing, running, and mind tricks to keep going, so creative thinking goes right out the door.
It would be interesting to see a scientific study done on it.
I wonder how this plays out in terms of long-term benefits. There's an established association between exercise and increased BDNF, but I don't think there's been any investigation as to if that effect is modulated by exercise intensity or longer than average duration.
I'd like to get a (passive) treadmill desk at some point for these reasons. I don't think I've ever found myself to be particularly creative on runs. I think I treat it too seriously, and when I'm not too serious, then I'm trying to be meditative with it or listening to nature. Interesting to hear other people's experiences.
I often have coding breakthroughs while on a run. Other reply is right though, I have these during my easy runs. I do not have coding breakthroughs during intervals or insane fast runs.
This is probably going to be helpful for people who can't afford to pay 1-2 months of rent due to not having a job, so they can calculate what they'll owe down the road.
I've seen situations where one person is "temporarily" handling the lion's share of the rent, and as that temporary situation becomes indefinite, resentment starts boiling.
Thank you for rebutting the whole "travel" thing. Traveling's more expensive than ever these days, especially if (god forbid) your travel destinations are international.
As a content creator myself it's disappointing when I see Adblock rates as high as they are, but I absolutely get it. If I'm upset at anyone in the Adblock debate it's the advertisers; the people who introduced intrusive pop-ups, auto playing videos, and those obnoxious banners with the smileys that scream "OH MY GOD, NO WAY!"
Then there are the issues of ads causing videos to freeze, browsers to crash, and containing malware. Or what if the ads are offensive to you or you have young kids in the house? For me it's impossible to blame users who just want to view their content in the most optimal way, which is why I see Adblock as a barometer for how satisfied users are with the way websites are delivering both paid and organic content.
That barometer effect is why I've always considered adblock how end users can "negotiate" with the advertizement networks.
As ads become more intrusive and annoying, more users learn about and install adblockers. As ads become more tolerable, users getting new computers, switching browsers, etc... don't install again. They might not consciously turn blocking off once ads improve, but it's not like the ad industry is going to get significantly better overnight. So it doesn't really matter that users won't turn them off overnight.
Any stamping of feet from the Ad companies about AdBlock strikes me as sour grapes that they're in a weaker negotiation position than: "If you don't want to look at what we tell you to look at, don't visit any websites"
I think that if I wanted to help out a developer, I'd rather cut out as much middleman and pay directly or through kickstarter.
If there were a middleman, I would especially rather it have the character of an entity like kickstarter, as opposed to an entity that tries to get a piece of your attention so they can sell it to a group of bidders.
