If you cannot chew with your mouth closed and you are older than 6 years, you should not be allowed to vote, operate heavy machinery or have children.

No, you don’t have a “challenge” for me. You have a problem and are trying to make it mine.

Always English. I live in a country where developers are hard to find. Chances are that I will get colleagues who do not speak my native language (yet).

I am not sure about ‘ever’ (I am old and have been reading for over 4 decades now), but a book I hate-read recently was Foucault’s pendulum by Umberto Eco. It is meant to be a satire on conspiracy theories and as such it is still a relevant book after 35 years or so. However, the point of satire is to get to the point eventually, preferably within 500 pages. It was pompously written and sometimes felt like a showcase of ‘look how much I know!’.

As much as I loved many of Stephensen’s books, I could not get into Anathem.

I recently hate-read Foucault’s Pendulum by Umberto Eco. I had started reading it twice and stopped after a few chapters. I am aware that the book is meant to be satire, but the point of satire is to be to the point instead of having to slog through 600+ pages of drivel.

Towel day!

daaaaad!

If your friend really thinks that AI Is ThE AnSwEr To EvErYtHiNg, try to ask them whatever happened to the blockchain.

Counter question: why do you think that you cannot get enough sleep? Do you feel sleep deprived? As somebody else mentioned earlier, you may not need as much sleep.

A few general tips that may or may not apply to you:

• No more screen time at least an hour before going to bed. Read a book instead. Blue light will mess with your brain.
• Do not drink caffeinated drinks or alcohol. I usually stop drinking caffienated drinks around 3PM. I do enjoy a beer though, but I do not have any trouble sleeping.
• When do you eat your largest meal of the day? You may simply be too busy digesting your main meal.
• Do you suffer from anxiety, depression or any other mental issues that may prevent you from sleeping? Maybe it would help to have that looked into.

I normally sleep from 10:30-ish to 6:30-ish. As for running, I mostly do that either late morning or late afternoon, as my energy levels are highest then. However, I have school going kids and a 9 to 5 job. I do not know your situation, so YMMV.
