I read an article years ago on this. It was interesting. There'a a big psychological component to holding your breath. If I remember correctly, you go through the alphabet and think of an animal that corresponds to each letter. You can also try to think of a person you know for each letter. It's to help you stay calm and focused. The fear and accompanying response will have you out of the water fast. I suspect it's also dangerous. If you start freaking out underwater you're in trouble. I tried applying it while doing Wim Hoff exercises and it helped a lot.
Again I read this in an article. I'm just some guy on the internet. Please don't try without investigating how it's actually done and about any associated dangers.
True, but I think it’s a distinction without a difference. If 30% of folks voted for it and 40% didn’t care enough to show up, it’s still a damning indictment of the American people.
Note: I can’t see the original comment, so hopefully I’m not defending some heinous remark…
Short version: when designing new software, you don't have its architectural picture in the beginning. So when starting from scratch, the architecture shouldn't be screaming, but rather, it has to be non-committal/non-speculative to allow wiggle room for the future. (How to achieve non-committal architecture is the biggest topic I'm interested in, and I find 1 good tactic every few years). Specifically, the architecture should ephasize entry points and outputs. That's exactly what frameworks like Rails provide. You go by entry points until some sort of custom architecture starts emerging from the middle, which is when it can slowly begin "screaming" over time.
Yup, it’s exactly this for me. I recently spent about six months with Fedora. It felt good and did everything I needed it to, but it was plagued by connectivity issues with my Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.
I have things to do. Diagnosing driver/chipset compatibility problems doesn’t help me get those things done, so back to macOS I went.
Which means what, in this example, exactly? A person in a 60 degree pool is losing more internal body heat than a person simply standing outside in 60 degree weather? Is it still so, if it's a 70 degree pool vs 40 degree weather, or 24 hours at room temp vs one hour in a pool?
Just a disclaimer, I’m not an expert in this area.
Yes, a person in 60° water is losing heat energy more quickly than someone in 60° air. This is because water is much more efficient at transferring this energy - something like 24x IIRC.
Determining an equivalent air temperature requires knowing a bunch of additional factors (e.g. humidity). I don’t know of a rule of thumb you could apply other than saying the equivalent air temperature of water below one’s body temperature would be much colder, and the inverse would be true for water temperatures above one’s body temperature.
It also makes you look less like a genius haha. Yeah maybe you're right. It wasn't the best choice in hindsight. But switching jobs is a relatively rare thing in Europe. You only can do that ever so often, so I'll have a bit of waiting to do
